Chapter 46 Major
As the district police chief, Pirando was also a well-known figure in Mumbai. Except for Dutt, almost everyone present knew him. However, they felt a little strange and unhappy because Pirando also brought in a young man, which was inappropriate.
This is a confidential combat area, how can we let outsiders in?
Pirando hurriedly introduced Rotun to everyone. After learning that Rotun was the sheriff who shot the terrorist, everyone's attitude changed slightly.
They had heard of this incident before, but had never met the real Rotun. After all, Rotun's level was too low for them. They didn't expect that he was really a young boy.
Even General Dutt couldn't help but look at Rotten again. Regardless of whether Rotten was lucky enough to shoot the man, after all, his Black Cat Commando had not gained anything so far and had suffered heavy casualties. He felt extremely aggrieved.
Then, Pirando explained the purpose of bringing Rotun in.
When General Dutt heard that Rotten had the floor plan of the hotel, his eyes lit up and he rushed to Rotten.
Without hesitation, Roton handed over the printed floor plan.
"Ask the hotel manager to come over and confirm the floor plan." Dutt shouted.
Although Pirando just said that he had confirmed it with the hotel staff, he still wanted to verify it again.
Soon, the floor plan was confirmed again, which made Dutt look very happy.
"Good boy, how did you get the floor plan?" General Dutt was of course happy. With the floor plan, the subsequent attack would not be so blind.
When they heard that Rawdon had searched online while studying for the federal civil service exam, everyone fell silent.
It's unbelievable that such a simple matter has caused so much trouble for everyone.
However, Pirando did not let everyone think too long. He immediately explained the serious consequences that live TV broadcasts might cause.
"Pirando, are you exaggerating?" Hassan frowned after hearing this.
To be honest, he is now looking forward to the TV station broadcasting the Black Cats' attack. Look, even the Black Cats can't do anything to the terrorists, so what can the Mumbai police do? Everything must be compared.
So, the worse the Black Cats perform, the less responsibility he and the Mumbai Police have.
"No, this is not alarmist. I think the next action must be to prohibit the media from broadcasting live." Pirando said, "The current situation is not suitable for live broadcast~~ Like this~ huh?"
Pirando suddenly pointed at the TV in the conference room. The TV was on and was broadcasting news footage from the scene. These bigwigs also needed to know some of the situation outside.
There is a female reporter on TV now who is conducting a telephone interview. Her phone is in speakerphone mode and the voice on the other end of the line is amplified through the microphone so that everyone can hear it.
She was interviewing a guest trapped in the Taj Mahal Hotel, the Education Minister of Maharashtra. During the interview, he was so excited that he even gave out his exact hiding place, which was in the conference room on the third floor of the hotel.
This made many people present look very ugly. How could there be such an idiot? In fact, they also agreed with Pirandu's questioning of the live broadcast, and there was indeed a risk of leaking the news.
Now that the Minister of Education's location has been exposed, once the terrorists in the hotel find out, they will definitely go to the conference room on the third floor.
According to the minister, there were more than a dozen people inside besides him. Those who were with the minister and were guests of the hotel must have extraordinary identities.
These people are the most important targets of terrorists. Killing one person has the same impact as killing a dozen or twenty ordinary people.
Luoton was speechless for a while, he knew the news. The Minister of Education was obviously a little too proud of himself during the interview, thinking that this kind of interview format would allow him to show off in front of the public, which would be very helpful for future elections.
So, he said something very fatal, exposing his hiding place.
Fortunately, the Minister of Education survived in the end. The bad thing was that he spoke without restraint and exposed his hiding place, which was extremely bad and had a huge impact. He had to resign from the ministerial position afterwards.
Just then, a person entered the conference room and handed a document to the three giants.
After reading the content, the chief minister immediately ordered: "Cut off the live TV signal immediately."
The Chief Minister rushed back from other states overnight and came here directly after returning to Mumbai early in the morning. Faced with such a bad situation, he was extremely anxious.
If this matter cannot be resolved quickly, it will have a huge impact on his political career.
The Chief Minister's words made Hassan's face change. It turned out that Pirando was right. Everyone soon saw the content of this material.
This was a conversation intercepted by the intelligence department between the mastermind and the terrorists at the scene, in which the live TV broadcast was mentioned.
Speaking of which, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra is the biggest one here.
Although the Director General of the Maharashtra Police Department is directly under the command of the Federal Minister of the Interior, he usually follows the orders of the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. He is a subordinate of the Chief Minister and generally does not disobey the orders of the Chief Minister unless they are truly unacceptable.
General Dutt belongs to the military and is an outsider. He generally respects the top leader of Maharashtra. Just like before, he would not object as long as it did not involve professional anti-terrorism matters.
Because he needs strong cooperation from the local government here.
This time, he expressed a different opinion.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
“I think it’s best to keep things as they are for now,” Dutt said.
This surprised everyone present. The live broadcast on TV made his actions no longer secretive, so why did Dutt insist on doing so? Dutt knew their doubts and immediately explained, "We already know that the terrorists will learn about our movements through live broadcasts on TV, so we can use this to give them some false information. I will divide the commandos here into two groups. One group will make a feint attack and broadcast it on TV to confuse them. The group that will actually attack will be hidden and avoid the live broadcast on TV."
Roton smiled. This was a good strategy that could catch the terrorists off guard.
He was basically going to be pushed out by Hassan to participate in the attack, so the better the tactics here, the safer he would be.
Directly cutting off the live broadcast signal now would probably make the terrorists more alert, which would not be beneficial to their attack.
"Send Major Sandy over here." Dutt said to one of his men.
Soon, a commando with the rank of major, in his thirties, walked in.
Dutt quickly told him about the attack plan and finally mentioned that Roton would participate in the operation.
The major took one look at Rawdon and immediately said, "Sir, outsiders joining us will affect our overall operations. I do not approve of your order. Please consider it carefully."
Of course Dutt understood this, and he was a little speechless about the major's answer. There were so many people here, couldn't he give him some face and not say it directly.
In his heart, he was reluctant to accept Hassan's suggestion that Rodon participate in the operation.
But he also knew that the Mumbai police needed to save some face, and even the Maharashtra police system wanted to save some face through such means, so he agreed.
However, he also knew that the major was a man who dared to speak and act, and was very direct in his words. It was not that he was deliberately denying him face, but that was just the major's personality.
Dutt still respects this subordinate very much.
"Rotten is an elite member of the police force. He shot and killed a terrorist last night. I believe he can cooperate with you. This matter has been settled. It cannot be delayed any longer. You must organize another attack immediately." Finally, Dutt gave the order directly, without any room for doubt.
