Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 632: The Big Brother Makes a Shock

Since the establishment of the Hong Kong Police Force, there have been many operations to combat transnational crime.

However, this joint anti-drug operation by Hong Kong and Thailand is the most valuable one.

This is not only because of the final results achieved by the action, but also reflected in the level of the personnel involved in the action.

A Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police will lead the team personally, with an Assistant Commissioner of Police serving as his deputy.

In addition, there were several senior police superintendents at the gazette level and chief inspectors accompanying him.

Apart from the Hong Kong Island Police Force's international affairs delegation, there has never been such a large delegation leaving Hong Kong.

Rewarding according to merit is the most basic rule and regulation of a department.

This joint anti-drug operation between Hong Kong and Thailand can be said to be the first time that the Hong Kong Police Force has taken control of a case overseas.

In previous transnational case operations, the Hong Kong Island Police Force did not deploy as many troops as this time, and was mainly focused on cooperating with the country where the case was located.

No matter how Zhou Quan and Peng Shapa communicated, the actual leadership of this operation lies with the Hong Kong Island Police Force.

The operation was a complete success on one hand, and it enhanced the prestige of the Hong Kong Island police force on another.

Therefore, the reward and promotion of all operatives was a natural result.

However, there are limited senior positions within the police force.

Even with Zhou Quan's current status and authority in the police force, he is unable to directly promote all the brothers involved in the operation.

After all, Ho Man-champ, Chan Wing-yan and Lau Po-keung, if they take one step further, will be at the level of Chief Superintendent, and have already entered the management level of the entire police force.

If he were transferred to one of the police districts below, he would be able to take on the position of district commander and become a local boss like a frontier governor.

The young police officers of Team T and Zhou Quan's junior brother Yang Jinrong had just been promoted to the rank of superintendent a few days ago.

Zhou Quan was powerless to help these brothers get promoted.

Unless these brothers are transferred out of the National Security Bureau, Zhou Quan still has hope of making some progress.

But the brothers have already made their attitude clear and are determined to follow their boss unswervingly.

Their boss is still within the framework of the National Security Bureau, so they naturally won’t choose to jump out.

After all, their promotion paths within the National Security Bureau have long surpassed those of their peers, or even those of the same level in the past.

As long as they stay within the National Security Department, they will naturally rise with their boss.

How could the management personnel at the National Security Department not know which is more important?
Otherwise, when Luo Danian and Guan Wenzhan were choosing each other for the position, Luo Danian would not have decided to stay in the Security Department, the predecessor of the National Security Bureau.

On the one hand, he wanted to repay the boss for his support, but more importantly, he saw a bright future following the boss.

With the example of Luo Danian before them, the other brothers certainly knew very well what choice to make.

Even though Luo Sir was slightly behind Guan Sir back then, now Luo Sir has not only caught up with that gap, but has even surpassed him.

Through this transnational operation, all International Security Department management was able to see one thing clearly.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sir Luo will definitely become the successor to his boss and become the third director of the National Security Department.

As for the second person, he must be the number one general under his boss, the current Deputy Director Zhou.

With the representative superior in front of them, as long as their boss did not have additional requirements, they would never choose to transfer out of the National Security Department. In the final analysis, Zhou Quan was in the limelight within the police force, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he would definitely not stop at the National Security Department.

As he continued to be promoted, the National Security Bureau, as his direct subordinate, had a bright future that was almost obvious.

The brothers were unwilling to transfer, and Zhou Quan himself also had some selfish motives.

After learning that the Hong Kong government's decision-making body was holding a core meeting recently, he knew that he was facing a critical juncture in his promotion to Deputy Commissioner of Police.

As the boss, he needs to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the police force's fine heritage, and he must now also ensure the purity of the entire National Security Department.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Quan could not allow outsiders to enter the National Security Bureau system, so for the time being he could only increase the salaries of his brothers.

All in all, Zhou Quan’s authority was not enough.

For him, he is also subject to restrictions when it comes to promoting his own brothers.

But in the eyes of the big boss above him, this is not a problem.

On the third day after the multinational operatives returned to Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong government's decision-making meeting finally produced a definite result.

In the absence of a meeting of the Hong Kong government's National Security Council, Zhou Quan was unable to get first-hand access to matters at the Hong Kong government's decision-making level. He only needed to implement the Hong Kong government's highest decisions.

However, the bigwigs behind him, no matter at what time, are all well-deserved important members of the Hong Kong government's decision-making level.

In the large conference room on the top floor of the Police Building, Yi Ge called a meeting of all police officers above the rank of senior superintendent in the police building.

Since this meeting was not a meeting of the entire police force management, the bosses of the various divisions did not attend.

However, the assistant director-level commanders of each police district were informed by the boss that they must be in place on time.

"According to the decision of the Hong Kong government's decision-making level, a new deputy commissioner will be appointed in the police force to be in charge of national security work."

The eldest brother stroked the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and opened a red-headed document of the highest level from the Hong Kong government in front of him.

A new deputy commissioner of police? A national security DCP with special powers?

This decision caused all the core management of the police force around the eldest brother to change their expressions drastically.

The contents of meetings of the Hong Kong government’s highest decision-making level have always been kept highly confidential, unless the Hong Kong government’s decision-makers intend to disclose them.

Otherwise, the people below would not be qualified to know.

All the police officers present, except Yi Ge himself and Zhou Quan, with whom Yi Ge confided his heart.

No one else was aware of it, not even the two deputy directors.

Now the first brother has directly announced the official red-headed document from the decision-making level of the Hong Kong government, which undoubtedly caught many people off guard.

Deputy Commissioner of Police is the closest level to the top police officer.

In particular, this newly appointed DCP is in charge of national security work.

In a sense, the normal operation of the entire police force is based on the primary responsibility of safeguarding the security of Hong Kong Island and the country.

Hong Kong Island is an integral part of the country. Wouldn’t it be tantamount to endangering national security if the law and order of Hong Kong Island was affected?

As long as this new National Security DCP is strong enough, he will be fully capable of interfering in the operations and management of the entire police force!
