Chapter 43 Commissioner of Bombay Police
Now that Rawdon was a hero, he was treated very well. He had plenty of food and drink in his small room, and there was also a TV with live footage of the terrorist attack.
Bud and North were also here. They were both very excited because they knew very well that they had played a role in the great achievement made by Rotten this time and would benefit greatly from it.
Seeing the Black Cat Commandos arrive, Roton was in a good mood. His chance to present the floor plan was coming, but he had to wait for the commandos to charge and consume a wave of enemies first, so that they knew the difficulty of a strong attack, and then he could take action to show the value of the floor plan.
At around seven o'clock, the commandos were fully armed and ready to launch the first exploratory attack.
Reporters and cameras from several major TV stations were allowed to follow and film. This was a requirement of the local government of Mumbai. They wanted to record the successful capture of the terrorists. It would be a definite political achievement and the best weapon for canvassing votes in the next general election.
Unfortunately, the result was completely opposite to what they expected. The Black Cat Commandos quickly withdrew, dragging along several dead and wounded members.
The first attack failed.
Roton breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed true. History did not change because he killed a terrorist. It continued along its original trajectory.
A single blow was nothing to the Counter-Terrorists. After they withdrew, they immediately began to reorganize their offensive.
At nine o'clock, the commandos regrouped, but due to the lack of the hotel's interior floor plan and the help of media cameras, the attack failed again.
Several more attacks were attempted, with similar results: the terrorists were left intact, while the commandos were depleted.
The consecutive defeats had a great impact on the morale of the Black Cat Commandos, because they were blown up by grenades when they rushed in without even seeing the shadows of the terrorists, and then bullets flew from nowhere, and many of their companions were lying down.
It seems like the terrorists can always get ahead of me. This feeling is really frustrating.
By noon, the commando team stopped moving and took a rest, while a group of leaders gathered at a temporary command center to discuss tactics.
Roton felt that it was about time and it was his turn to come on stage.
He has the power to move freely in a small area within the headquarters and can walk out of the small room, but he cannot leave the headquarters to avoid being harassed by reporters from the news media.
When he opened the door, he suddenly saw a familiar person walking towards him.
"Roden." The man called out first.
"Chief!" Rotten raised his right foot high, then pushed it down hard, saluted and shouted loudly.
North and Bud behind him were startled, and after seeing who was coming, they hurriedly saluted.
The man was Pirandu Shah, chief of the North Central District Police Station. He was wearing a bulletproof vest and a bulletproof helmet, and was fully armed.
There is no way. A district police chief has already died in this terrorist attack. How can these senior police officers dare to joke with their own lives?
He smiled and said to Luo Dun: "Luo Dun, you have made a great contribution..."
Pirando praised Rotun and mentioned North and the other man, which made the two of them straighten their chests and feel extremely honored.
Ever since receiving the news that the terrorist attack caused heavy casualties, Pirando has been worried.
He knew very well that no matter how this matter ended, someone would have to be held accountable, and not just one person, but a group of people, including the police system, government officials, etc. No one would be able to escape.
The impact is too great.
He is going to be promoted, but the promotion order has not come down yet.
In this regard, Pirando secretly felt unlucky. If the promotion order had come down earlier, he would have been transferred out of Mumbai, and what was happening in Mumbai now would have nothing to do with him.
Unfortunately, there is no if. He is also responsible for what happens here and cannot shirk responsibility.
Therefore, this terrorist attack is likely to cause him to fail in promotion and he may even be held accountable.
Just when he was feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard that Rotun had shot and killed a terrorist, so he hurried over.
Rawdon was a police officer in his jurisdiction, so naturally the credit should be attributed to him as the chief. He did not seek any reward, as long as his merits and demerits offset each other, then he could get away with it safely after the matter was settled.
So the more he looked at Roton, the more he liked him. He thought that his previous promotion was, to some extent, due to Roton.
This is truly a lucky guy.
"By the way, how did you get here?" Pirando asked again.
This place was far away from the Spanda Police Station, and he knew very well that under normal circumstances, these police officers would not be likely to run so far.
"Chief, Roton has been suspended..." North quickly interrupted and explained the whole story.
He knew that Pirando was Adda's backer, but with Gert's private publicity, everyone knew that Pirando didn't really care that much about Adda.
This time he was able to share the credit with Rotten, so he felt that he should do something to thank Rotten.
As for whether he would offend Yada, he didn't care much. Now that he had this contribution, he wouldn't have to be afraid of Yada in the future at the Spanda Police Station.
After hearing what North said, Pirandu's face darkened and he cursed: "Asshole, how can a director be so incompetent?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He knew very well that it was Yada who pushed Roton forward. It was not strange for police officers to steal things during the investigation. What kind of crime was this?
With the contributions that Rawdon has made now, even if he swallowed up all the property of the Blackwater Gang, the police would help him cover it up or even cover up his lies.
Pirando immediately called the district police station and asked them to suspend Ada from his post, and then asked North to return to the Spanda Police Station immediately to take full charge of the police affairs.
After all, the impact of this terrorist attack was huge, and all personnel from every police station were mobilized.
North was very excited. This was the acting director. He left without hesitation.
Pirando knew very well that the suspension of Rotten would definitely be exposed by the media. If it was exposed, it would be too late for him to deal with Ada.
Therefore, he must complete these tasks ahead of time and leave a good impression on his superiors. This is related to whether he can be promoted, so he must do everything to the best of his ability.
"Pirando, why are you here?" At this time, a voice sounded.
Pirando quickly turned around and saluted the other party: "Chief! I heard that the Taj Mahal Hotel was attacked by three terrorists, so I came here, thinking that I could do whatever I could to help."
Roden and Bud also hurriedly saluted. The man in front of them was Hassan Gofoul, the Commissioner of the Mumbai Police Department, the real biggest boss of the Mumbai Police. They had only seen him on TV and in newspapers before.
Hearing Pirando's words, Hassan said with a wry smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
As Hassan spoke, he glanced at Rodan. He knew very well why Pirando came.
This kid in front of me actually shot and killed a terrorist with just a worn-out revolver whose rifling was almost worn out. I don't know what kind of luck this kid had.
Rotten was Pirando's subordinate, so Pirando obviously wanted to take the credit, but the matter had already spread, and he really couldn't deprive Pirando of the credit.
Although he disliked Pirando, this incident was also good for him. At least his pressure was relieved a lot after Rotun shot the terrorist.
As the Commissioner of Mumbai Police, he is definitely one of the people who has been under the greatest pressure in this terrorist attack.
"Rodun Mahesh, I know you. You can fight dozens of thugs by yourself, and this time you were able to kill a terrorist. It shows that you are the elite among the elites of my Mumbai police. I plan to let you participate in the rescue operation of the Taj Mahal Hotel and work with the Black Cat Commandos to bring glory to my Mumbai police." Hassan looked at Rodun and said.
Before Rawdon could say anything, Pirando hurriedly shouted, "Chief, in anti-terrorist operations, the Black Cat Commandos are professionals. Even if Rawdon has good fighting skills, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to display them in a gunfight. It's too dangerous for him."
Roton's heart sank. He didn't expect that Hassan would ask him to follow the Black Cat Commando. Isn't this asking for his life? Pirando was not bad. He knew how to protect his men and opposed Hassan's opinion.
