"I am a Hong Kong police officer, this is my duty."
John Tsang showed his fearlessness at the right time.
When Fang Lang heard this, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but turn up slightly. He was a very smart young man. Although he had never heard of the other party's name, it did not prevent him from admiring him.
For Fang Lang, in a city like Hong Kong that is dominated by Chinese, the more Chinese police the better, which means that the Chinese will have an increasing influence on the city.
But Fang Lang didn't like police officers who, like the Four Detectives, helped the British exploit the lower-class Chinese by controlling gangs.
It is undeniable that the four major detectives have expanded the voice of the Chinese in the police force to a certain extent, but such voice was obtained at the expense of the interests of the majority of Chinese at the bottom.
But Fang Lang would still be very happy if the Hong Kong City Police Force could have more conscientious senior police officers. This would not only expand the influence of Chinese people in the police force, but also provide an additional layer of security for the Chinese at the bottom.
These thoughts just flashed through Fang Lang's mind. Fang Lang's appreciation for this young man was only out of admiration for his courage. It did not mean that Fang Lang wanted to support this young man to take a further step in the Hong Kong Police Force. .
After all, the two sides didn't understand each other at all. If the other party was as greedy as the four detectives, wouldn't Fang Lang have added a burden to the Chinese in Hong Kong City.
However, out of admiration for the other party, Fang Lang decided to favor the young man in front of his British friends.
"Haha... Reinhardt, what am I talking about? This guy is a courageous and responsible Hong Kong policeman!
I like this young man better than those guys shivering behind cars. "
Reinhardt, who heard the exchange between the two, also nodded and showed a slightly ugly smile to Fang Lang.
"You're right. Compared to this young man's performance, those bastards hiding behind the car and shivering should all be fired."
Then, he stopped talking nonsense and said directly to John Zeng:
"Okay, brave young man. Go back and tell your commander that my name is Reinhardt Henderson. I am a lieutenant colonel of the Royal Navy of the British Empire. This is Brazil, who was invited by our Royal Navy to visit the port city. Rear Admiral Fang.
The shooting incident here was because these gang members made some untimely actions while we were eating, which caused General Fang's guards to make an emergency response.
But the performance of your Hong Kong police has made me lose face in front of my friends. I will complain to Mr. Governor of Hong Kong.
Now, please go back and ask your commander, who is hiding behind the car and dare not show his head, to come out and take away this gang member from the scene. "
Although Reinhardt tried his best to suppress his anger, his words still made John Zeng's eyelids jump. He knew very well that what happened tonight would put the police in big trouble.
A naval lieutenant colonel wants to complain to the Hong Kong Governor about the performance of the Hong Kong police. It is obviously a very serious matter. If not, the commander who just promised to give him a two-level promotion will turn around and be beaten to the end. , even taking off the police uniform.
What's even more embarrassing is that there is also a foreign naval general at the scene. Doesn't this mean that the Hong Kong police have been disgraced abroad. At this moment, he could imagine how the police commissioner would be furious.
Unexpectedly, Fang Lang on the side actually said with a smile:
"Hey! Reinhardt, this brave young policeman's name is John Zeng. He is Chinese like me. I think you should not ignore the name of a brave man. It is very rude."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene looked at Fang Lang with doubts, as if they didn't quite understand what Fang Lang meant.
But John Zeng soon realized that the other party was trying to increase his presence in front of the naval lieutenant colonel! He looked at Fang Lang with a hint of gratitude unconsciously.
After all, what happened today may bring great misfortune to many people. But now, he should not be in this unlucky range.
Reinhardt quickly understood what Fang Lang meant. He glanced at Fang Lang strangely and then at the young policeman in front of him, seeming to understand something. After thinking for a moment, he stood up on his own initiative, stretched out his right hand to John Zeng and said:
"Officer Zeng, I apologize to you for my arrogance. You are an excellent police officer. I will remember you."
John Zeng glanced at the naval lieutenant colonel, who was not much older than him, with some surprise. At the same time, he quietly looked at Fang Lang sitting next to him from the corner of his eye. He did not expect that the words of the Chinese general next to him would leave a deep impression on him. The portion will be so heavy.
Of course, he also knew very well that this was a very rare opportunity for him to perform. Therefore, I gave a standard British military salute.
"Thank you, sir!"
After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and held it tightly with the other person.
Reinhardt nodded with great satisfaction, patted John Zeng’s right arm with his left hand and said:
"Very good, go and inform your commander to clean up the mess here!"
John Zeng very wisely let go of his hand, saluted Reinhardt again, then turned around and ran towards the police team at the intersection of the street.
As a soldier, Reinhardt was now even more satisfied with John Zeng's performance and couldn't help but turn to Fang Lang and said:
"Fang, you are right. This guy is a very good young man. I think he should have a better future."
Hearing this, Fang Lang chuckled and said:
"Don't forget, he is just a Chinese, and he has no chance to reach a higher position in the Hong Kong Police Force."
Reinhardt was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but taste Fang Lang's words carefully.
And Cai Jiabing, who had been hiding aside and trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, although he couldn't understand what everyone was saying, he could still analyze a lot of useful information from the tone and expressions of several people. This made him look at the young policeman with eyes that became hot.
At this time, John Zeng had already hurried back to the police team. When Nottingham Jones saw that this brave young man came back unharmed, he felt confident and understood that these heavily armed men were not armed bandits. .
In this case, the difficulty of processing this task will be reduced exponentially.
In fact, when John Zeng was in contact with the other party just now, he hid behind the police car and although he could not hear clearly what they said, he could still tell from the exchange between the two parties that the other party did not seem to have any hostility towards the police. .
Especially when he noticed that when John Zeng came back to report to him, he did not hide in a safe position behind the police car, but stood directly at the front of the car, he became even more certain of this.
"Sir, the situation has been confirmed. These armed personnel are Brazilian naval guards who were invited by our Royal Navy to visit the port city.
The reason for the exchange of fire was that local gangs were fighting for territory here, and the fighting threatened the safety of the navy chief. The scene has been taken over by the Brazilian Navy Guard.
The Royal Navy officer of the British Empire who was responsible for accompanying the Brazilian Navy Admiral, Lieutenant Colonel Rinehart Henderson, was very dissatisfied with the performance of our port city police. He made a solemn protest and asked the commander to go over immediately and explain to him face to face. "
Nottingham Jones, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt his heart in his throat after listening to John Zeng's report, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
He originally thought that there was no danger and the incident could be easily solved. But now, the reality was exactly the opposite of what he wanted. Instead of decreasing, the trouble has increased geometrically.
At this moment, he would rather face a group of extremely vicious bandits. In this way, he can at best stabilize the scene and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Naturally, he can easily destroy the opponent. If that is not possible, he can also ask for help from the British army.
But the current situation is that the opponent is someone he cannot provoke, and the reason why the opponent uses a gun is because the local gang actually engages in a fight in front of the opponent.
One can imagine the serious consequences of this matter now. Nottingham Jones, who had been looking relaxed just now, turned pale, and couldn't help but turn his attention to Chief Inspector Yao Mu, who was discussing John Zeng's future with him just now.
As for Yao Mu being able to get to where he is today, he is naturally not a political idiot. When Nottingham Jones understood the seriousness of this matter, he also instantly understood the joints involved.
As the person who received the benefits of the 14K and was responsible for coordinating the police's indifference, he was even in bigger trouble than Nottingham Jones. Maybe the position he had just obtained as Inspector General Hua would be wiped out, which made him very anxious.
But Yao Mu is a veteran after all, and his more than 30 years of police experience have given him considerable experience in handling emergencies.
But when Nottingham Jones looked at him with cold eyes, he did not panic. Instead, he looked at John Zeng and said directly:
"Are all those gang members under their control? Have they said what they will do with them?"
John Zeng has also been quietly observing the faces of the two officers. In fact, he does not want the two officers to be beaten to the end because of this matter, because Nottingham Jones was the one who just promised to upgrade him two levels in a row.
And Yao Mu is the newly promoted Chief Inspector and the leader of the Chinese police. If Yao Mu is fucked, then he will have no objection to the favor he just gained from him today.
Therefore, after hearing Yao Mu's questions, although he didn't know why he asked these questions, he still carefully thought about what he saw and the exchanges he just had inside.
“What I saw was that there were many fallen gang members on the ground, but most of these people had stab wounds, which should have been caused by gang fights.
Those who are still able to move have all been controlled by their security forces.
As for how to deal with the gang members, I think they want us to take over. "
Hearing this, Yao Mu rolled his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Nottingham Jones and said:
"Sir, I think we still have a chance. As long as we can silence these gang members, it will be a crime of negligence at most, so we will not be punished with death."
Nottingham Jones is also an old martial artist. When he heard Yao Mu's words, he immediately understood what he meant and nodded repeatedly:
"You're right. They are a security force after all. They have no law enforcement authority in the port city. These gangsters will eventually be handed over to us, so that we can have a chance to reduce the big problem to a minor one."
Seeing that the two officers seemed to have found a solution to the problem in just a few words, John Zeng couldn't help but say:
"Two sirs, things may not be that simple."
After hearing this, the two of them turned to look at John Zeng.
"What's the meaning?"
“I know that the two officers are worried that the superiors will know the relationship between these gang members and us, and they think that after the gang members are handed over to us, we can pick them out.
But the trouble now is that the general of the Brazilian Navy is a Chinese. When I was there just now, I saw a gang member who had been pulled in front of him for questioning. "
After saying this, John Zeng stopped speaking, but his meaning was already expressed very clearly. Maybe the situation at the scene was far from as simple as they thought.
It is hard to say whether this gang member will say anything to this Chinese general.
Maybe, the other party already knows everything about the situation.
Hearing this, Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu looked at each other, and their expressions darkened again.
