Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 702 National Security Department Speed
The detailed deployment of Operation Sharp Sword will be made later by Commander Zhou Xingxing.

Regarding the investigation into Yan Guorong, chairman of Wanzhong Group, Zhou Quan has also identified the specific person in charge.

The next task, naturally, is the macro-level publicity of the police force.

"Gao, due to the confidentiality of Operation Sword, the increase in the police alert level will not be announced to the public for the time being."

Turning his gaze to the head of the support department in the seat of the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Zhou Quan issued a very clear order.

Under normal circumstances, when the police force's alert level is raised, it is necessary to hold a press conference to inform all sectors of Hong Kong society.

However, before the meeting, Zhou Quan had already pointed out the theme of the current meeting, which was a meeting concerning national security.

At this time, the transcendence of the National Security Act was undoubtedly fully demonstrated.

As the main executor of the National Security Bill, he could even become the most powerful person in the entire Hong Kong Island.

Otherwise, raising the police force's alert level would not be something that could be implemented on the ground simply by him signing an administrative order.

At the very least, we have to give a heads up to the Security Bureau.

But when Zhou Quan defined the theme of this meeting and exercised his corresponding powers, everything changed.

Filtering news and keeping police operations confidential are no problem at all.

"Sir Quan, I understand!"

ACP, a rare, even unique female Madam in the core management of the police force, stood up gracefully and nodded heavily.

"Later, I will arrange for the Public Relations Department to make the corresponding preparations to ensure the news support for Operation Sword."

The order was given by the boss himself, and it was based on law and reason, so she naturally understood what she should do.

"Ok!"

Zhou Quan nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Then, he turned his gaze back to Zhou Xingxing.

"The Operation Sword Command Center is located inside the National Security Department's command center."

"Axing, the rest is up to you!"

At present, the police force’s third-generation communication and command system has not yet been implemented on the ground. The National Security Department’s Operations Command Center is undoubtedly the most suitable department within the entire police force to serve as the center of the command system.

Now that the actual commander of Operation Sharp Sword has been identified, Zhou Quan will naturally not continue to interfere too much.

He grasps the macro level, and how to carry out specific actions depends entirely on Zhou Xingxing's own decisions and deployments.

Of course, if there are any problems with Zhou Xingxing's actions, Zhou Quan will definitely be there to check and correct them.

"Yes, sir!"

He stood up again, raised his hand and saluted, then took over the lead of the next action neatly.

"My dear officers and colleagues, please go to the National Security Department downstairs."

In front of a group of senior police officers in Tai Kwun, Zhou Xingxing rarely spoke in a literary manner.

All participants had no objection to this.

Most officers in the executive branch returned to their respective posts to handle the day-to-day work of the police force.

The others followed Sir Quan and went straight downstairs to the National Security Department's operations command center.

A group of core management leaders of the police force and colleagues from various departments appeared.

The three chief superintendents who stayed behind at the National Security Department immediately came over with some of the National Security Department's management. "Sir!"

Under the leadership of Kwong Chi-lap, Kwan Man-chon and Luk Qi-chang, all commanders at all levels of the National Security Department present raised their hands and saluted.

Because Zhou Quan is now followed by heads and colleagues from other departments.

Therefore, the brothers under him did not use the usual titles to address their boss.

"Mind your own business, don't worry about me!"

Zhou Quan waved his hand calmly and walked straight to a long square table that had been prepared in advance in the command center and sat down.

His attitude was very clear, and the entire Operation Sharp Sword was basically based on Zhou Xingxing's orders.

Li Wenbin, He Lingyun, Yin Xiaofeng and other core management members of the police force also took their seats behind Zhou Quan.

As for the commanders of other departments, they stood behind their superiors, waiting for SACP Zhou's operational orders and deployments.

"Sir Kuang, what's the situation now?"

Zhou Xingxing walked briskly to a screen in the shape of a nine-square grid and asked about the follow-up investigation on Hong Jipeng.

After the terrorist who was about to kill Zhou Rihua with C4 was arrested, the National Security Department simply gave him some bleeding treatment and then launched a surprise interrogation.

It is precisely because of this that, even though the emergency response team has just been formed, the National Security Department has already made arrangements for its actions in advance.

The Operational Security Department commanded by Kwong Chi-lap is undoubtedly the main backbone force.

The four action teams under his command, except for the commander of the intelligence group Luo Danian, and the commander of G4 Chen Yongren and deputy commander Ying Changsen who stayed in the National Security Department.

Other members of the police force at the level of military commissioners had already entered action mode last night.

At this moment, they all led their teams out of the police station.

"Sir, based on the mobile phone of the terrorist who was arrested last night, the intelligence team has identified a suspicious individual."

Kuang Chi-lap spoke very quickly. He was answering his boss' questions while also introducing the current situation to the bosses.

"Subsequently, through the other party's confession, it has been confirmed that the suspicious person is Hong Jipeng, nicknamed "Hot".

"The intelligence team promptly retrieved the telecommunications company's data and successfully locked down Hong Jipeng's exact location."

"However, there should have been another member of Hong Jipeng's criminal group around the police club at that time."

"The number used by Hong Jipeng immediately became untraceable after receiving a call."

"The intelligence team deduced that after receiving the tip-off, Hong Jipeng would definitely inform his subordinates who were in a latent state."

"The paparazzi brothers who were responsible for monitoring the 17 suspicious targets grasped the situation in time and found the new phone number that Hong Jipeng used."

"It was a group text message, with twelve recipients in the same location."

"Through this situation, it can be confirmed that the twelve receiving ends must be an important part of Hong Jipeng's criminal conspiracy."

"So Team T immediately launched the operation and contacted the nearby PTU for support and interception."

"It has now been confirmed that the task of the twelve SMS receivers was to guard the batch of C4 plastic bombs that Hong Jipeng secretly transported into Hong Kong Island."

"After receiving the news, the other party immediately arranged for two vans to transport the transfer."

"Fortunately, Team T acted in time and intercepted them in an abandoned factory building below Yuen Long. At the same time, we requested tactical support from the SDU."
