Section 7: Winning Prestige

  City of Vice (Seventh Section Wins Reputation)

  "The police didn't care if the people inside had weapons or not, they just shot at anyone they saw with live ammunition. Our military police used humane methods to quell the riot, we only used non-lethal weapons, just rubber bullets and tear gas. The police are using live ammunition, listen carefully to the gunshots."

  "Can we ask questions?" a female reporter asked.

  "Yes, as long as I can answer, I will. " Yu Fei looked at the reporter in front of him, and he also had a bit of a star's feeling. The female reporter asked first: "Can you tell us why your garrison didn't take unified action with the police? Do you have any reason to convince those police departments to use lethal weapons?"

  "This involves the principles of our country's constitution and the restrictions of administrative laws. First, as a gendarme, I can investigate the illegal behavior of the police department, but they have violated administrative regulations, they have only violated internal police rules, it is an illegal act rather than a criminal act, I temporarily do not have the right to investigate. Once this behavior escalates into a criminal act, we will definitely fulfill our duties. Our country's laws stipulate that the police and gendarmerie are not subordinate to each other and have no right to command each other, they can only coordinate. However, I haven't seen the person in charge of the public security department coordinating with me, they just do whatever they want. Moreover, the Federal Law Enforcement Bureau should bear the main responsibility, their management of prisoners is unprofitable, it's simply a waste of taxpayers' money. They abandoned their weapons, which is equivalent to actively arming the rioting prisoners. The reason why the prisoners launched a riot is that they were not managed according to the law in peacetime. Strictly speaking, they do not have the ability to manage prisoners at all. I don't know who recruited a group of incompetent people into the Federal Law Enforcement Bureau through illegal means. I think the main responsible person for the prison riot is those law enforcement officials who hired unqualified prison guards." Yu Fei talked endlessly about the shortcomings of other departments, making himself appear as the only correct one.

  "When can this riot be ended?" asked a TV station reporter.

  "It depends on the government's efficiency, if the municipal council or state judiciary orders the police to withdraw from the prison immediately, I think the problem will be solved quickly. At least the mayor can also order the police to retreat and let the gendarmes handle the task of suppressing the riot, we are the ones who defend the country." Yu Fei still doesn't answer directly, grabs a question and attacks others.

  "What good ways does General Konoe have to quell the riot?" asked the radio reporter.

  "I think the best way is to use non-lethal tear gas to drive them out, make them drop their weapons and surrender, then wait for the law to punish them. There's no need to kill everyone. I think the police killed these people to cover up something they don't want others to know. Maybe these people knew some of their secrets, so it was more convenient to silence them." Yu Fei's words were being broadcast through relay vehicles and satellites across the country, and people in other states could also hear him speak on TV.

  Wen Yong was busy at the front and didn't know what Yu Fei was doing. He continued to use rubber bullets and tear gas to suppress the riot, while the police next to him used sniper rifles and automatic rifles to deal with the prisoners as if they were in a battle. Many prisoners who did not have weapons were still shot dead by the police. The military police simply attacked the prison building with tear gas as usual, but the unyielding prisoners fought back fiercely against the police. They covered their faces with wet towels to resist the tear gas and then fired wildly at the military police and police. Wen Yong was also unhappy in his heart, wondering why the police could fight with real guns, but the military police couldn't fight freely. He could have taken a machine gun and rushed in to solve everyone's problem. This wasn't a military prison, and not many of the people locked up inside would use guns, so it wouldn't be difficult at all.

  Yu Fei, while meeting with reporters, grabbed a megaphone and ordered, "Continue to use tear gas shells, use loudspeakers to shout at them, let them surrender as soon as possible, otherwise they will all be killed by the police. Tell those who have committed minor crimes not to lose their lives for something trivial, it's not worth it."

  "Received." Wen Yong took out the loudspeaker he had prepared early and shouted to the prisoners in the prison. The people inside heard what he said, but some prisoners still stuck their heads out of the window and shouted, "We don't want to die either, it's these police who want us to die. This time we won't die, they won't let us off either. They took our money and brought us here. The prison guards here are not human, not a single good thing. Rather than being tortured to death by them, it's better to fight to the death."

  The police sniper used a Remington 700 police sniper rifle to blow the head of the shouting prisoner, while other prisoners continued to fire back. The police were afraid that things would get out of hand, so they dispatched a police helicopter for support. The special police on the helicopter suppressed the armed prisoners on the rooftop with firepower, and the rooftop was littered with corpses, almost covering the entire area. However, there were still unarmed prisoners who ran to the rooftop to pick up guns and continue fighting the police.

  Yu Fei took advantage of the time to continue attacking other local law enforcement agencies, but there were many police officers behind him, listening very clearly. At this time, the person in charge of the police department was also extremely angry, and they accelerated their attack speed. According to the police's judgment of the situation, all the armed prisoners were on the rooftop, and the prisoners with guns were being shot dead one after another. The prisoners who ran to the rooftop from inside the building came out empty-handed to grab guns, and this continued until they could be caught off guard. However, the police's shooting speed was much faster than the prisoners' escape speed, and soon the battle on the rooftop ended. A helicopter sent a team of special police to the rooftop, and the police began their attack from top to bottom. The bodies of the prisoners were everywhere, and when they got off the helicopter, there was no place to land, so they stepped on the bodies to enter the building from the rooftop.

  There were not many prisoners with weapons left in the building, and helicopters kept transporting police to attack from the top of the prison building. The sound of gunfire was loud inside the building. Yu Fei felt very pleased when he heard the sound of gunfire. What he lost was just an opportunity for actual combat, but what he gained was face and the opportunity to appear on TV. The police's massacre was very quick, and a few minutes later, fully armed police came out of the building, and the garrison also began to withdraw.

  The police department's spokesperson came out to announce the end of the operation to reporters, and was about to boast about their achievements. Yu Fei turned around and left, and the reporters also left satisfied. They preferred Yu Fei's straightforward way of speaking. They were tired of the spokesperson's diplomatic words and diplomatic smile. They knew what they wanted to know and got enough material to go back and make better news.

  "Fall in." Wen Yong led the constabulary out of the prison, which was still under the jurisdiction of the Federal Law Enforcement Bureau. It had been cleaned up a lot and there were no more prisoners inside, all having been dealt with. Now they could collect their paychecks without any worries. Yu Fei looked at these soldiers who had hardly fired a shot, "Don't be so down in the dumps, you've done well. I'm treating today, eat as much pizza as you want."

  "Good." The soldiers cheered, and Wen Yong started ordering takeout. They weren't in a hurry to return to the barracks, so they might as well use this opportunity to relax. At this time, all major TV stations and radio stations were doing programs on prison riots. Yu Fei's figure in uniform appeared in front of hundreds of millions of TV viewers, and the broadcast also played interview recordings.

  Xu Huaiqing sat on the yacht, drinking and watching TV. He held a wine glass in one hand and the remote control in the other. After listening to Yu Fei's speech, he felt it made sense. The local police were indeed that bad. If they had done their job properly, how could there be so many guns in the nightclub? What about the law that prohibits private gun ownership? Why didn't the police enforce it? Those people should have been sentenced to many years in prison. Why didn't the police arrest them? He agreed with Yu Fei and supported his cooperation with him to deal with those who mixed black and white. He threw down the remote control, gave a thumbs up, and said to the TV: "Cheers, good brother, I will always support you."

  Chen Jiafang was also lying on the sofa in her own home watching TV, and the gendarmerie officer who led the search of her car appeared on TV with a very majestic demeanor, pointing fingers at other departments for their incompetence. He indeed had the qualifications to criticize, because only he seriously enforced the law, and the police would not care if there were drugs or weapons in your car, as long as you did not take them out in front of them. The police would not bother you even if you killed someone elsewhere, as long as it was not in their presence. Chen Jiafang, as a local judge and resident of this city, also knew that the public security situation was bad. There were bodyguards outside her villa 24 hours a day, and when she went to work, the court's bailiffs would protect her. During holidays, she would follow private bodyguards. Although the salary of a high-ranking judge was not low, because she had to hire bodyguards, she lived a very ordinary life. If she didn't have to hire bodyguards, it would be nice to keep all the money for herself.

  Wu Junwen lay on the recliner, sipping his chilled beer and watching TV. He was satisfied with Yu Fei's performance. Yu Fei was no longer just a mercenary who only knew how to fight and kill. He had become increasingly intelligent and adapted well to this country, operating his own business within the framework of law and institutions, using the media to suppress his peers and elevate himself, and appropriately using humanitarianism to gain reputation. He was no longer that kid who relied on his incredible marksmanship to make a living. Having only been in the local area for a few days, he had already taken large-scale action to turn around the local situation, and had also made good use of this sudden event to expand his influence. The more successful he became, the more successful his business became.

  Even the President was watching the news program in his office, which made the President who had always trusted the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation very embarrassed. The Attorney General is a cabinet member nominated by him, and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is appointed by him. After this incident, how can he still trust these ministers? The opposition party in Congress also has the opportunity to attack his policies, it seems that only reform has a way out. He remembered the memo handed over by the Gendarmerie Command, the Ministry of National Defense, the Budget Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, the Procurement Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, and the Contract Review Bureau were all discussing whether to allow the gendarmes to hire military contractors themselves, but the President's view on this issue was different from theirs.
