Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 917: Plan to Demolish the Nine Dragon Walled City

Watson continued, "Everyone, I plan to enter Kowloon Walled City and talk to the people inside. If we can complete the demolition without bloodshed, then some bloodshed can be avoided."

Fan Weili nodded and said, "Yes, that's fine, but you have to pay attention to your own safety. That place... is hiding countless wanted criminals from Hong Kong Island. Most people who commit crimes outside will run into Kowloon Walled City."

"Once you get in, even the police won't be able to do anything. So there will definitely be people inside who are unwilling to demolish the Kowloon Walled City. You have to pay attention to this. I don't want anything to happen to you."

Watson nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry, Director Fan. Since I, Watson, dare to go in, I am not afraid that the people inside will attack me."

"And I definitely won't go in alone. I'll bring some good police officers with me. That way, even if something happens inside, we'll be able to hold on until backup arrives."

"Before going in, I will make all the necessary preparations. Police will be assembled outside the Kowloon Walled City. The fire department, ambulance and others will also be on hand to assist."

After hearing what Watson said, Fan Weili nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say. I have no objection, but we need to negotiate the amount of compensation for the demolition."

"We currently have two options. The first is to compensate the owner, as the demolished house belongs to the owner after all."

"The second option is to compensate per capita, but this is not fair to the owners and the cost of this would be huge."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

Watson thought about the historical solutions and said immediately, "Director Fan, I have a solution. I don't know if it's appropriate."

Fan Weili smiled and said, "If you have any suggestions, just tell me directly. Is it appropriate?"

Watson smiled awkwardly. "I'm just saying this in advance. I think the Hong Kong Island government could build a residential complex nearby, similar to a high-rise residential complex, to compensate the owners and some residents. Those who don't own homes in Kowloon Walled City could apply for low-interest loans from Hong Kong Island banks to buy or rent a house in the high-rise residential complex."

"I think this method of compensation will reduce the amount of money needed!"

Upon hearing this idea, Fan Weili's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "This is a very good idea. This way, both the owners and ordinary tenants will have a foothold, and the interests of the owners can also be protected."

Watson smiled and said, "If Director Fan can agree, then the subsequent negotiations will be much easier."

Fan Weili pondered for a moment and said, "I personally agree with this solution, but it still needs the Governor's approval. How about this? Our Finance Department will first come up with a proposal report and submit it to the Governor for approval. You, the police force, can also organize your personnel so that we can all work together simultaneously."

Huang Bingyao immediately said, "No problem, we'll organize some people after we get out."

Fan Weili said solemnly, "This is no small matter. When organizing manpower, we must also ensure that there are no problems with public security in each sub-district police station. Otherwise, the gains will outweigh the losses."

Huang Bingyao nodded and said, "I understand. Such a low-level mistake will definitely not happen."

When Watson learned that Tornado and the Big Boss jointly ruled Kowloon Walled City, he was still a little confused, but since he traveled to Hong Kong Island, the butterfly's wings began to flap.

So Watson was only slightly surprised.

Compared to the gangsters outside, those in Kowloon Walled City are the real gangsters.

In Kowloon Walled City, there is no law, no government, only gangs, and they are the kings of Kowloon Walled City.

This explains why Tornado and the Big Boss stayed in Kowloon Walled City. There, they were the uncrowned kings.

In the outside world, they are gangsters who cannot do whatever they want and have to be careful about the police's encirclement and suppression at all times.

I just don't know if their fighting power is as exaggerated as in the movies, where they even perform hard qigong...

After the meeting, Wong Bing-yao and Watson sat in the car and returned to the police station together.

"Watson, I'll contact the fire department and the hospital, and I'll also issue orders to the various police stations. All you have to do is organize and assemble these people. By the way, how many people do you need? I'll make the arrangements!"

Watson pondered for a moment and said, "Let's organize 3,000 police officers first. Add those from the Fire Department, and that should be enough."

Huang Bingyao looked at Watson in surprise. This was too much. Three thousand police officers at the drop of a hat.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought, there are more than 50,000 people in Kowloon Walled City, and organizing 3,000 police officers to go there seems to be a little bit not enough.

"Three thousand police officers... and also need to ensure public security in each district police station. It's a bit difficult!"

Huang Bingyao also showed difficulty on his face. Although Hong Kong Island has tens of thousands of police officers, they are scattered across various police stations and cover various types of jobs. It is still very difficult to withdraw 3,000 police officers at once.

Watson paused and said, "Actually, we can completely change the method of recruiting people. We don't have to recruit people based on the number of people in each police station. We can recruit people based on the distance."

"We will deploy fewer personnel to police stations farther from Kowloon Walled City. This way, even if something happens, the local police station will be able to suppress it. Meanwhile, we can deploy more personnel to police stations closer to Kowloon Walled City. This way, even if something does happen, the police officers here can quickly go over to provide support."

"This will ensure the stability of all districts in Hong Kong Island to the greatest extent possible!"

Huang Bingyao was no fool. He immediately understood the benefits of this idea and said in surprise, "You're amazing. You came up with this idea so quickly. I'll send the order to all the police stations right away."

After returning to the Police Department, Watson also summoned his team members including Chen Yongren and Ma Jun to the conference room for a meeting.

"Enough of the nonsense. I just came back from the Finance Department. The demolition of Kowloon Walled City this time is unstoppable."

"So I plan to organize a team to enter Kowloon Walled City and discuss the demolition with the people inside. This operation is very dangerous, and the other party will not allow too many of us in."

After hearing this, Ma Jun immediately said, "Count me in. This place should have been demolished long ago. Its existence is simply a cancer."
