A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 66 Selling arms to the newspaper, are you serious?

The marine police had a bad start, not to mention going out to sea to suppress pirates, the three gunboats were bombed and sunk at the door of the house before boarding.

As for who did it?

Needless to say, with your toes, you can tell that it was the hands of pirates.

The marine policemen were ashamed, the momentum of marching in line just now was gone in an instant, and they didn't know whether it was real or fake, at least Hua Shier knew that many of the marine policemen didn't want to take risks at sea.

The top police officers stayed for the meeting, while patrol officers like Hua Shier disbanded on the spot. Those who should go back to the police station were on duty, and those who should patrol the streets waited until the time came to patrol the streets.

Hua Twelfth was off duty today, which was not the day he was supposed to be on duty, but he greeted his colleagues in advance and made a special shift because he had important things to do.

After leaving the Marine Police Headquarters, Hua Twelve did not go home, nor did he return to the martial arts hall. Instead, after changing back to his casual clothes, he came to the pier by himself and boarded a fishing boat.

As soon as he boarded the boat, Zhuo Yifei greeted him: "Master, you are here!"

Hua Twelfth looked him up and down: "How is it, are you not injured?"

"I'll take care of things, Master, just rest assured!"

Zhuo Yifei was very moved to see that the master didn't care about whether the matter would be done first, but cared about his safety when he came.

Put on a bright smiling face: "Master, the things are in the cabin, I'll show you to have a look!"

Speaking of him leading the way, the two came to the bottom cabin of the fishing boat, and saw ten long wooden boxes and three square wooden boxes stacked inside the bottom cabin.

Zhuo Yifei fetched a crowbar and pried open a long box. On one side were Mauser 1888 rifles, and the gaps in the box were filled with rifle bullets.

Hua Twelve picked up one and saw that these rifles were all wrapped in oiled paper and well maintained. They were obviously brand new.

He put the spear back, and patted the square wooden box again: "Pry this one open too, and see what's inside!"

"okay!"

Zhuo Yifei agreed, opened the wooden box with a crowbar, and saw that it was divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer contained a bunch of Browning M1900 pistols, and the lower layer was full of pistol bullets.

These long and short guns were all obtained from the bombed gunboats of the marine police, and they were the ammunition that the marine police were going to use to fight pirates.

Ever since Hua Twelve recognized Zhuo Yifei and Ma Rulong, he remembered that they were characters from "Project A". Things that blew up.

So when the marine police applied for munitions to go to sea, Hua Twelve came up with the idea of ​​this batch of munitions.

Anyway, he will be blown up by the pirates. Instead of sinking into the bottom of the sea with the gunboat, it would be better for him.

Yihua Twelve had ordered Zhuo Yifei before today to dive into one of the gunboats at twelve o'clock in the morning and transfer all the ammunition out before the pirates bombed the ship.

Zhuo Yifei held a pistol and couldn't put it down: "It's really a good thing, but unfortunately I can only make so much by myself. If we call more brothers, we can get all the ammunition on the three gunboats!"

Hua Twelve shook his head and said: "There are too many people talking, and if one more person knows, there will be more danger of leaking. If any news is leaked out, you and I will no longer have a foothold in Hong Kong Island. I just want to do this. Trust you and Rulong, but Rulong is a water policeman, so this matter can only be done by you."

Zhuo Yifei patted his chest happily when he heard that his master believed in him so much: "Don't worry, master, I have no good qualities, I just have a strict mouth and a sense of loyalty!"

After he finished speaking, he asked, "Master, what should I do with these things, do you need me to contact the buyer and sell them as soon as possible?"

Hua Twelve pondered for a while, and then said: "Leave a box of long and short guns for our own use. For the rest, contact Chen Shaobai, editor-in-chief of the 'Flower Planter Times', and ask him if he wants it. If you want it, sell it to them at a cheaper price!"

Although for various reasons, Hua Twelve did not want to participate in the affairs of the Revolutionary Party, but he could still do it by secretly supporting him.

Zhuo Yifei looked confused: "Master, are you serious about selling arms to the newspaper?"

When Hua Twelve heard what his apprentice said, he smiled: "You can just ask, they should ask for it, but remember, don't reveal our bottom line!"

When he was talking, he took out a Browning M1900 and put it full of bullets in his arms. The assassination of Mei SIR reminded him that day. , It is estimated that it will not be good, so it is better to keep this thing by your side for self-defense.

Zhuo Yifei patted his chest and promised: "Master, don't worry about my work!"

The bombing of the three gunboats made Francis Henry May furious, and at the same time made him completely lose confidence in the marine police.

After several days of meetings and research, Francis Henry May finally made a decision that the Hong Kong Island Police Force will disband the current Marine Police Force!
The former marine police officers will enter the police academy to receive a week of training, and then they will all be merged into the land police. The former marine police's deputy stone will be assigned to a newly established "Public Security Fund Committee" to be responsible for raising funds for the police force.

As for the matter of fighting pirates, Francis Henry May has already contacted the ancestors, and they decided to send a rear admiral to deal with the pirates here.

However, before the marine police officers like Ma Rulong enter the police academy for training, there will be an instructor selection for the police academy.

Originally, the position of the instructor had already been decided to be the police officer Hong Tianci who had returned from training in Scotland Yard, but at the regular meeting of the police force, Francis Henry May proposed another candidate, that is, Patrolman Chong Yang!

In fact, this controversy is very controversial. After all, Hong Tianci was trained by his ancestral family, while Chongyang is only a local Chinese policeman, and he is the lowest-ranking patrolman among the Chinese policemen.

Therefore, some high-ranking police officials, including Deputy Qi, held objections.

But Francis Henry May was a man who kept his promise, especially Hua Shier saved his daughter, so he insisted on giving Chong Yang a chance, and the reasons he gave were very convincing.

His reason is that the grassroots of the police force are all Chinese police, and the current Chinese police are not equipped with guns. Law enforcement relies on batons to fight gangsters, so increasing the fighting ability of police trainees is the most important thing.

As for the fact that Chong Yang has beaten invincible opponents all over Hong Kong Island, everyone on Hong Kong Island has already known that his fighting ability is unquestionable, and he is the best candidate to be an instructor.

When Francis Henry May made such a statement, some people immediately nodded, thinking that it made sense. Of course, the main reason for their nodding was to see clearly May SIR's serious and positive attitude.

In fact, the most important point is that Hong Kong Island has just been opened as a port in this period, and the promotion system in the police force is not yet perfect. It can be appointed directly by Francis Henry May, otherwise there is no such thing as buying and selling officials.

Of course, old foreign devils also have to consider the feelings of other foreign devils, so it is necessary to have a good reason and discuss it.

In the end, all the senior officers of the police force agreed with Francis Henry May's decision to let Hong Tianci and Shen Chongyang compete for the selection of instructors, and the winner would be the new instructor of the Police Academy.

As Hong Tianci's uncle, even though Deputy Qi was unwilling, he could only nod in agreement.

Francis Henry May immediately asked Hong Tianci and Shen Chongyang to be notified respectively, and asked them to prepare well. Three days later, they would have a showdown at the police academy.
