Tai Kwun, Director's Office.

"Patton, I fully support your actions, not only does the Star Ferry Company cooperate with the police fund, but at the same time, the application for a price increase is also voted by the Public Transport Advisory Committee, and the social movement organized by the Rickshaw Association is very likely to ferment into riots." After listening to Patton's report, Kunxian replied very decisively: "In order to prevent the incident from being used by people with intentions, the Operations Department must deal with it quickly to extinguish and ensure the stability of social order on Hong Kong Island." ”

“yes，sir！”

Barton was very satisfied, and stood up and saluted: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Kunxian looked at Barton's departing back, his eyes revealing imperceptible hostility.

Wan Chai Ferry Pier.

The manager of the Tianxing Ferry Company stood at the entrance of the pier, his face was full of helplessness, and he said very anxiously: "Brothers of the Rickshaw Association, the incident happened at the North Point Pier, and it has nothing to do with the Tianxing Ferry Company. ”

"If you have any opinions, you can ask the police force to reflect, can you calm down first, sit down and have a cup of tea."

At this time, one of the coachmen walked out, it was Kwong Pingyuan, the director of the association who solicited customers at the North Point Wharf yesterday, a coolie in his early forties, with a neat flat haircut, honest appearance, five big and three thick. I saw him pointing his finger at the manager of the small ferry and shouting: "You called the police force to drive us away!" ”

"How could it have nothing to do with you?"

"The account shall be settled on your head."

"Yes!"

More than a hundred coachmen instantly clamored and shouted: "The Star Ferry is responsible for the death of my brother!" ”

"Kowtow and apologize!"

"Apologize in the newspaper!"

The manager of the small ferry looked at the more and more drivers gathered, the roar became louder, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart, smelling a different smell of gunpowder, and he couldn't help but secretly complain. Hurriedly asked his subordinates to take a sum of cash and wrap it in an envelope, and brought the money up to negotiate with the leader of the car dealership: "Big man, this matter really has nothing to do with the Star Ferry, at least it is not something I can solve, I have sent someone to report to the board of directors, and I will definitely give you an answer before noon?" ”

"A little careful, it counts as compensation for the dead brothers, everyone is out to work, don't embarrass each other."

Kuang Pingyuan took the envelope with his hand, touched the thickness, the anger on his face was suppressed a lot, and when he saw the difficult look on the face of the manager of Xiaolin, his tone was also a little looser: "Okay, I'll give you more than an hour, there is no news before twelve o'clock." ”

"Lao Tzu set fire to your dock."

The manager of the small ferry frowned when he heard this, and secretly said that it was bad, and he didn't dare to answer the conversation, but just bent down again and again to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let the brothers disperse and rest for a while." ”

Kuang Pingyuan glared at him, so naturally he would not tell his brothers to disperse, but took the people of the Rickshaw Association to directly block the dock, and Tianxing Pier immediately fell into a state of suspension. Many reporters heard the news and came to the pier with their cameras to take photos of the scene.

Seeing this, the ferry manager had no choice but to acquiesce to the brutality of the rickshaw club, and in order to stand firm on the victim's position, he even called his subordinates: "Go to the fast food restaurant in front of the dock to pack 150 meals, and give one point to the dock staff and the car dealer brothers." ”

"Got it, Rafigo." The subordinate agreed in a low voice, and hurriedly took two people to run errands.

A series of events that occurred in the morning have already become hot behaviors, and they are fed back layer by layer.

The chairman of the Star Ferry Company, Yi Migao, received the news that the coachman was blocking the dock, and knew that the rickshaw club would definitely have to do it, no matter how much compromise was meaningless, and continuous concessions would only increase the arrogance of the opponent, so he immediately ordered: "Call the police, the Wan Chai Police Station will deal with it." ”

"Got it, boss." The secretary bowed his head in agreement, stepped on his high heels and turned to leave.

"Ding, ding, ding."

"Ding, ding, ding."

The desk phone rang nonstop.

Yi Migao didn't hear it and ignored it.

The call is nothing more than a call from the director of the company, or from the Wharf Taipan, asking about the docks? Anyway, the last card has been played, and if Barton Sir can solve it well, everything will naturally be fine.

Wharf executives and company directors can no longer hold him accountable.

If things are not handled well, just wait to be dismissed from the position and thrown out of the office, what kind of phone call do you care?

When the Commissioner of Wan Chai received the phone call, he could not help but recall two orders issued by the senior management in the morning, the first order was issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Operations, and the second order was privately instructed by the Senior Assistant Commissioner Ge Bai.

How to choose?

This is the subdivision where Sir Ho stayed in Central, and the director is more pro-China by nature, so after a little thought, the director dialed the phone and gave an order: "If there is a large-scale illegal assembly at the Wan Chai Ferry Terminal, let the rapid response team be dispatched immediately." ”

"There are two rules, the first is not to harm the public, and the second is not to shoot!" He was a little uneasy, and simply said: "The reaction team all disarmed the guns, carried out the task with shields and batons, and if you can't control the scene, you need a firearm to call me again." ”

“yes，sir！” The Chief Inspector of the Wan Chai Rapid Response Unit immediately agreed.

Immediately, he hung up the phone, took off the pouch of the gun at his waist, and walked out of the office to the standby area, where he saw 50 officers of the rapid reaction team already loaded with guns, wearing helmets and rifles in both hands, sitting on the benches on either side.

The officers had probably been waiting all morning, many of them had taken off their gloves and wrist guards, there were many mineral water bottles at their feet, and the room was filled with smoke and the floor was full of cigarette butts. However, as the most elite operational unit in the hands of the ghosts, all members of the rapid reaction team have received military training, and there are many veterans who participated in World War II among the inspectors.

"One minute, disarm the firearms, go downstairs and take a car to the Wan Chai Ferry Terminal, the task is to disperse the citizens who are illegally assembling, but there are two conditions, first, no violence is allowed to harm the citizens, and second, protect yourself."

"It's different this time, you know!"

The chief roared.

"Understood!"

"Sir!"

Fifty officers of the Rapid Response Group shouted with their heads held high.

“GO！”

The chief turned to leave.

“GOGOGO！”

The five senior inspectors shouted loudly, and the officers quickly unloaded the guns, put them back in the weapons cabinet, and reassembled them, taking out riot shields, tear gas and other items. In fact, since the time entered the sixties, the function of the police gradually transitioned from the gendarmerie to urban security, because the opponent is not the enemy army that must be physically destroyed, resulting in the police are no longer as strong as in World War II, and many times there are situations where they cannot shoot and want to avoid deaths, and the overall evolution is to the defense force.

Therefore, although it was the first time that the rapid response team received an order not to use guns and not to injure people, they quickly learned to accept it and resolutely carried out the order, because they had already subtly believed in their hearts that killing innocent citizens was an inhumane act, and that some citizens were guilty, but they could not be killed.

It can only be said that there are two kinds of people in the operational department, the poor people who oppress the bottom, and the poor people who protect the citizens, and the difference between the bad people and the bad people, and between the ghosts and the ghosts, is actually bigger than the difference between people and dogs.

This is also the reason why the Hong Kong Island Police Force will still recruit British police officers in the operational department after the 21st century.

"Da-da-da-da."

"Da-da-da-da."

The sound of leather boots hitting the ground sounded, and a team of rapid reaction team members finished their equipment, rushed out of the office building, and went directly to the parking apron on the side of the police station to open the door and board the car. The Ghost Guy has equipped the team with a full range of special vehicles for operations, including three sedans and eight jeeps, which can carry up to 80 people on missions. Ensure that the rapid reaction force can quickly arrive at the nearest incident point at any time and at any time to perform the most important "rapid response" in its function.

This vehicle configuration can be said to be the highest specification among all departments of the police station, and it is also a tradition that the "rapid response group" has been carried on all the way, otherwise, the "rapid response group" will not be changed to "stormtroopers" after the restructuring. ”

How much is a stormtrooper for the stormtroopers worth?

At present, the equipment is limited by product strength, and the old jeeps that have been replaced by the military are basically replaced by the military, and in twenty or thirty years, professional assault vehicles will go into battle, and the treatment of the rapid reaction team will be even higher.

Dock.

The coachmen took the lunch box from the ferry company, stopped for the time being, and all sat cross-legged on the ground and gulped down the rice. The coachmen who can be selected by the club to do things know in their hearts that there will be work to be done, and no matter who gives out the box lunch, it is always happy to be able to eat a full meal before working.

However, when three cars with police license plates and six jeeps full of military and police officers stopped on the side of the wharf road, the drivers immediately put down their lunch boxes and looked at the police officers who jumped out of the police cars and lined up to assemble, and their eyes flashed with anger and timidity.

The coolies at the bottom are cowardly to the poor people who eat official food, and they are cowardly before fighting, and they are all white-skinned ghosts, who look fierce and murderous. Fortunately, the drivers know what they are here for, and they are very confident.

Kuang Pingyuan took the lead in throwing the lunch box in his hand far away to the people of the dock company, and shouted: "Fuck your mother, dare to call the police!" ”

His technique is sharp, like a practitioner, and he was hit by a dozen meters away. The manager of the ferry company was confused about the leftovers, and before the police officers who arrived at the scene could figure out what time it was, the drivers were already clamoring.

"The ferry company has called the ghost guy to beat us again!"

"It's not enough to kill one, it's going to kill me again, brothers do it with them!" I don't know when the number of drivers at the scene has reached more than 200, and there are hundreds of brothers scattered at the end of the street not far away as a reserve force. At this time, before the police could do anything, the drivers started a riot, grabbed sticks in their hands, climbed over the railing, and kept rushing towards the office of the dock ferry company.

"them!"

"Tell him to pay for his brother's life!"

"Kill!"
