Under normal circumstances, if you want to blow up a tunnel through a mountain with a bomb, you need an explosive equivalent to blowing up a mountain.
However, the Hung Hom Cross-harbour Tunnel adopts a caisson-type structure, and the total length of the tunnel is just over a kilometer.
Therefore, as long as criminals blow up the most critical nodes, the entire tunnel will collapse, and the huge manpower and material resources spent on Hong Kong Island will disappear in an instant and turn into smoke.
And using this kind of crime to achieve political goals is not "crazy" and "morally bankrupt"?
Once it explodes.
Hong Kong Island may even experience an economic recession in the short term, and land prices and housing prices in Kowloon Peninsula will both plummet!
As the traffic between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island is blocked, the damage to people's livelihood and economy is also visible to the naked eye, and it will take at least several years to recover.
Instead of spending huge sums of money to repair the cross-harbour tunnel.
It will not be restored.
In addition, clearing and repairing tunnels requires a large amount of money and manpower. It can be said that the Hung Hom Tunnel exploded! The negative impact is not as simple as building another tunnel. The price paid is much higher than building another tunnel!
At present, the ghost guys only focus on immediate interests, and would rather abandon the infrastructure and development of Hong Kong Island to plot a crazy political conspiracy! Will the criminals be short of explosive yield? impossible!
And to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, I'm afraid the explosives have been set!
Otherwise, "Hong Jipeng's" criminal plan will not be launched.
Therefore, Director Zhuang dared to speak so firmly at this time!
"Huh." Zhang Zaishan exhaled, looked at the drawings and said, "In that case, the criminal should have the engineering drawings. He will have copies of the originals we have."
"The engineering drawings of the Hung Hom Tunnel have been kept in the Urban Development Department. How could ordinary criminals obtain the engineering drawings? There is a big problem here."
Zhang Zaishan looked ugly.
However, from Master Zhuang's eyes, he quickly realized that he had said nonsense.
But Mr. Zhuang's sinister gaze made him feel weak. Even if the ruthlessness inside was not directed at him, he was so shocked that he quickly stopped talking and said something useful instead: "In this case, we can only use a platoon method to sneak into the tunnel and dismantle the explosives at three nodes at the same time!"
“This is how we can eliminate the explosion crisis!”
Zhuang Shikai raised his eyebrows: "Is there a way to get in?"
The premise is that the bomb disposal operation cannot be discovered by criminals, otherwise criminals will detonate the bomb in advance.
If the "entire Hung Hom Tunnel" is the biggest bargaining chip in the hands of criminals, then more than 130 hostages are the bargaining chip for criminals to ensure their own safety!
Zhuang Shikai must win back each of these two chips, so that all Hong Kong citizens can feel at ease and know the power of the Hong Kong Island Police Force. Otherwise, whenever a chip is lost, the tunnel will collapse, resulting in massive casualties, and the subsequent impact and turmoil will be unimaginable.
Therefore, the bomb disposal operation must be carried out secretly. And because there are many explosive nodes, they need to be done simultaneously.
"have!"
Zhang Zaishan replied firmly.
"According to the drawings, the Hung Hom Tunnel has reserved maintenance openings and emergency escape hatches to prevent special situations such as collapse and explosion in the tunnel..."
"There is an emergency escape, the entry point is on the seabed, the entire channel is the size of a water pipe, enough for a person to enter with a bomb disposal tool."
"The most fortunate thing is that each of the three nodes has an escape route."
Zhang Zaishan's face was filled with confidence: "This is an opportunity brought to us by modern construction science! If the Hung Hom Tunnel was built before the 1950s, we might not have the slightest chance!"
It's show time for "The Bomb Disposer"!
The more Zhang Zaishan talks, the more courageous he becomes, and the desire for challenge in his heart has been activated!
"Are there enough manpower?" Zhuang Shikai was silent for a moment and then asked.
If it's not enough, he can do it himself.
It's a pity that the criminal named him wants to see him, and he may have to go into the tunnel to deal with Hong Jipeng and other gangsters.
Cannot participate in bomb disposal operations. Must rely on bomb disposal experts.
Zhang Zaishan nodded steadily and said: "Enough!"
"Except for one bomb disposal expert from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Section who is on standby, the remaining three are already at the scene. Including me!" Zhang Zaishan shouted.
"Call them!" Zhuang Shikai said loudly.
"Yes!" Zhang Zaishan immediately turned around and shouted.
Explosion experts are naturally dealt with by bomb disposal experts...
At the same time, Zhuang Shikai turned to look at the police officers next to him and issued an order, saying quickly: "The Public Relations Department maintains emergency silence and tells people from all walks of life that in order to ensure the safety of the hostages, it is inconvenient to reveal too much information about the case."
"The off-site interview tapes are considered transparent news. It's up to them to take as much as they can and guess as much as they can."
This is the last freedom of the press granted by "Master Zhuang".
"Yes, sir!" Public Relations Officer Colin Guoxiong raised his hand in salute and quickly responded.
"Inform the entrance and exit in the direction of Kowloon, prepare for the worst, and be ready to attack and rescue at any time!"
"Yes! Sir!" Cai Yuanqi responded in a deep voice and conveyed it immediately.
You should know that the Central General Administration is located in Hong Kong Island. Once an incident occurs at the Hung Hom Tunnel, Hong Kong Island can only reach the Hong Kong Island direction entrance and exit. Unless it's by boat or plane.
This is known to both criminals and the police. Therefore, the entrance and exit in the direction of Hong Kong Island is the main battlefield of this incident, and the entrance and exit of the Kowloon Peninsula is the second battlefield. Li Shutang is in charge of the second battlefield, and he is doing pretty well for the time being, but all consequences will be decided by Mr. Zhuang, who is the main battlefield. Even Mr. Zhuang has to prepare for the worst case of tunnel collapse, so he naturally has to remind Li Shutang not to let down his guard.
"Crash." At this time, two armed vehicles of the Flying Tigers drove into the scene, and two helicopters landed slowly. Zhou Xingxing led the Flying Tigers to get out of the car quickly. After getting off the car, they rushed directly to the tunnel exit, raised their weapons and shields, and completed combat alert immediately.
"GOGOGO!"
"Team A is in place! Group B is in place! Group C is in place!" Zhou Xingxing waved his arms, and the three teams lined up in formation. The three team captains raised their arms and made gestures. The scene was very neat.
Flying Tigers helicopters, armed vehicles, and black ops uniforms. It’s even more eye-catching! It immediately attracted the attention of reporters.
Although there are already a large number of armed police on the scene, the Flying Tigers are the most well-trained and equipped with the best weapons. There are special features in handling emergency situations, and they must be made up for on-site.
After all, when it comes to conducting raids and other operations... the Flying Tigers are the most useful force.
For the Flying Tigers, war situation is an order! They didn't even have to wait for Mr. Zhuang to give orders before they made excellent arrangements.
At this time, Zhou Xingxing was wearing a combat uniform, holding a gun, and stood at the entrance of the tunnel. He was hiding behind a shield, looking very serious and dedicated.
He personally participated in front-line operations. After landing, he did not report to Sir Zhuang, but waited for Sir Zhuang's orders in a combat posture.
"The Flying Tigers are here." Zhuang Shikai glanced at Zhou Xingxing's position, then quickly looked away and looked at the three bomb disposal experts in front of him.
I saw three bomb disposal experts all wearing black jackets and operational uniforms. Among them, Zhang Zaishan was somewhat similar to one person, while the remaining one looked naive and a bit upright.
He seems like a simple and honest man from the Gu family who often goes shopping on the street.
"Report sir!"
"Senior Inspector Zhang Zaishan, Senior Inspector Dong Zhuowen, and Inspector Pan Chengfeng of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Section report to you!" Zhang Zaishan, Dong Zhuowen, and Pan Chengfeng lined up in a row, raising their hands in salute with excited faces.
Zhuang Shikai stepped forward and patted Zhang Zaishan on the shoulder, glanced at the remaining two people, and said with a heavy expression: "I leave the safety of the entire tunnel to you."
"Including my life and the lives of one hundred and thirty-two hostages..."
Zhang Zaishan, Dong Zhuowen, and Pan Chengfeng all raised their chests and replied sonorously: "Please don't worry, sir! We will complete the mission!"
The voices of three bomb disposal experts echoed through the scene.
Zhuang Shikai looked at them, nodded and said: "Action."
"Yes, sir!" The three bomb disposal experts immediately turned around and left, went to the "explosive safety vehicle" to collect equipment, and immediately began to take action.
This Hung Hom Tunnel is not only Director Zhuang's "first brother's debut", but it is probably a "historical show" where bomb disposal experts collectively appear.
After all, how many times can such a large-scale bomb disposal operation be carried out?
Most of the time, bomb disposal experts are dismantling gadgets, suspicious objects, that kind of thing.
It's a pity that no one is interested in a historical show. The bigger the show, the more dangerous and terrifying it will be.
This time it was scary enough!
One explosion could kill more than a hundred people and an entire tunnel, not to mention the three of them?
However, the three of them are still determined and ready to go on stage to fulfill their duties as bomb disposal experts!
It can be said that bomb disposal experts are the type of police force that faces the most explosives among the Hong Kong Island Police Force, and they are also the group of people who wander around the ghost gate the most.
Because it doesn't take much explosives to kill one of them, one gram is enough.
This kind of "historical show" also reflects the bravery of the "bomb disposal experts"! The importance of explosive ordnance disposal courses!
"Sir Zhuang, do you think Zhang Zaishan and Pan Chengfeng are similar?"
At this time, Huang Weiyao, the man next to him, laughed.
Zhuang Shikai turned to look at him and laughed: "At this time, do you still care about this?"
"They are cousins..." Huang Weiyao said in a drawled voice, "But I think they are biological brothers."
"After all, if you look at their faces, it must be Zhang Zaishan's father who has done something good... Haha."
"It's just that I don't think it's good for the two brothers to play together, right?"
It's a coincidence.
The two brothers were both bomb disposal experts and carried out the same operation.
Huang Weiyao was a little worried.
Don't do it all at once for your father.
"Hey!" At this time, Director Zhuang raised his arm, held the walkie-talkie, and shouted forward.
Zhang Zaishan, Pan Chengfeng, and Dong Zhuowen turned their heads.
"Put on protective clothing!"
Director Zhuang shouted with a stern expression.
Zhang Zaishan smiled and said: "Sir, the passage is narrow. You can only carry tools and people. It is impossible to pass through wearing bulky protective clothing."
Pan Chengfeng smiled and said: "Please don't worry, sir, we never risk our lives when we dismantle bombs!"
"The bomb disposal expert who was blown up is the most handsome!" This sentence was said by Dong Zhuowen.
The three of them finished talking.
Then he continued walking forward and disappeared next to the tunnel.
"Hi."
Zhuang Shikai sighed.
He turned back.
"correct."
"How do you know the specific number of people inside, as well as the number and identity of the criminals?"
Cai Yuanqi replied from the side: "One of the hostages is a clerk on vacation. He sent text messages to his superiors so that we can obtain accurate information..."
"Um?"
Zhuang Shikai frowned.
A figure.
At this time, wearing a bomb vest and holding up his police ID, he slowly walked out of the tunnel exit step by step.
