Kowloon Triads in Gang War[]
Enclosed in this download you will find information about your mission and a shopping list of weapons, gadgets and information that the agency is able to deliver.
Your mission in Hong Kong will be fairly complicated. The ultimate target is a triad leader named Lee Hong. He is too well guarded and even if you succeeded in eliminating him, chances are that you would not get out of Hong Kong alive. The agency has prepared a plan that will make Lee Hong lose his influence outside his mansion. We will get back to you when you have completed your first mission.

MISSION ACTIVE
Description[]
Plot[]
The mission was the start of many Asia-set missions for Agent 47. This mission detailed a Red Dragon Triad negotiator, whom is to be killed during a meeting with a Blue Lotus Triad emissary, at Chiu Dai Park in Hong Kong.
The ultimate goal of these missions was to assassinate Lee Hong, leader of the Red Dragon Triad, a powerful man who was ultimately feared, rightfully so. However, even if Agent 47 was to kill him, the triads were too powerful and influential for 47 to remotely consider escaping Hong Kong alive, so the triad had to be weakened. It was hoped that by killing the negotiator, among other officials dying, the starting of a gang war between the Blue Lotus and the Red Dragon would be triggered, thus spreading out, and thinning out Hong's security and influence.
Location[]
The surrounding area was a square of streets with with various story-high buildings. There were multiple publicly available elevator shafts to access the roofs of said buildings. The park and pagoda in the middle of the square were lush in plants and other materials, and multiple Asian civilians roamed the streets. The Blue Lotus came later in limousines, and would guard the park after arriving. The negotiator and the emissary strolled through the pagoda.

Trivia[]
- Kowloon Triads in Gang War was remade in Hitman: Contracts as Slaying a Dragon.
- There are four civilians that wander around the level. 47 can kill them and even take their clothes, however, doing this immediately alerts all of the guards and fails the level even if 47 kills the target and all the guards when he leaves.
- When either the Red Dragon or Blue Lotus emissaries get scared by suspicious behavior, they will flee to their respective limousines but do not attempt to escape, seemingly being content sitting idly by.
- The Blue Lotus triad members arriving by helicopter and using the M60 might be a reference to the Vietnam war where the American military used it against the Vietcong and their allies. Another game that would later reference this more clearly is Grand Theft Auto Vice City during the mission Phnom Penh '86
- This level is inspired by the film The Most Dangerous Game, a film by actor Yasuka Matsuda. where the scene kills the monk and then a SWAT helicopter appears.
