Hong Kong Island Old Events

"What do you mean, sir, asking a young street boy to sit in my seat?" After Lei Luo got off work, he sat in the Chao Fu Restaurant and looked at Zeng Shaoke who had rushed to Central. He picked up a cigar with a disdainful expression: "He is qualified. ?”

"Arlo."

"Li Wenbin is not easy to get along with." Zeng Shaoke, wearing a suit, said with a sad face: "Li Wenbin is in charge of criminal matters, Lu Qichang is in charge of O records, and Zhuo Jingquan has been transferred to be in charge of military uniforms."

"How long can Huo Qilin and Chen Xijiu last?"

Lei Luo spit out smoke and cursed: "I don't believe it. I will stay in the Ministry of General Affairs for the rest of my life."

"If you think about it, there are only two ways."

Zeng Shaoke sighed: "The first rule is to surrender to Brother Xian and kneel down to plead guilty. The second rule is to rely on the ghost!"

Lei Luo's expression was stunned, and his face was very ugly. The first path would most likely lead to taking off his clothes and retiring. The second path would mean that the brothers would turn against each other and cause a bloody storm.

"I'm just here to hang out."

"It's not for sale."

Lei Luo sighed: "Sir Zeng, the location of the New Territories"

"The big boss must deal with you before he comes to deal with me." Zeng Shaoke smiled: "I'm doing well for the time being, but I don't know how many years I can do it. If the big brother doesn't have a problem with me, the governor will. Opinion."

"It is certain that the Anti-Corruption Office will soon be established. Looking at the Government-General's strong push for the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, we know that the boss is probably not fooling us. Sooner or later, there will be a big fight between China and Britain."

Zeng Shaoke said solemnly: "To seize the gun and seize power!"

"Seize the gun and seize the power."

Lei Luo chewed these four, raised his head and looked at Zeng Shaoke: "We are the thorn in the ghost's side, the thorn in his flesh."

"Be more prepared. While you still have some influence, try to save as much wealth as possible." Zeng Shaoke put out the cigarette on the bone plate and said with emotion: "You always have to make a choice, and then let fate happen!"

One month later.

The Legislative Council passed the "Prevention of Bribery Ordinance", and the Community Relations Office formally established an enforcement team. In the first phase, more than 30 team members were recruited and went to the Victoria Depot in Central to participate in training.

"quick!"

"quick!"

A British captain was wearing a training uniform, holding a watch in his hand, holding a whip in his right hand, standing next to the obstacle and shouting loudly.

Fifty members of the training team, wearing vests and covered in mud and water, crawled under the iron net using their hands and feet, then climbed over the horizontal bar one after another, jumped onto the two-meter-high baffle and jumped.

Han Zhibang was among them, stumbling to complete the two-hundred-meter obstacle course. He came to the shooting point, quickly stuffed the magazine, knelt on one knee, raised his gun and took aim: "Bang!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Only thirty of these fifty people can pass the assessment and obtain the first batch of gun licenses from the enforcement team, becoming the fourth armed force after the police force, customs, and corrections department. The elimination rate exceeds one-third, and all team members are recruited within the Community Relations Department, which shows that the executive team has high requirements for members.

Through the death of the first anti-corruption commissioner, the top leaders of the Hong Kong government have understood that without cultivating an elite force, the word anti-corruption will be laughable. In troubled times, heavy laws are used, and strong medicines are used for serious illnesses. To solve the problem of the police force, it is definitely not possible to rely on the law.

Although the Anti-Corruption Office has not yet been formally established, the implementation team and the passage of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance can be said to be ready. All that is left is the east wind. The team members participating in the training all know that once they obtain a gun license, their future will be bright.

Wong Chuk Hang.

Police training school.

He Dingxian was wearing a military green vest, with a police whistle hanging around his neck, and documents under his arm. He stood in front of a hundred police officers and said loudly: "Have you not been back to the training school for a long time?"

One hundred police officers stood at attention with their hands behind their backs, their backs straight, and the sound of neat footsteps echoed. They all stared at the officer intently.

"Among you are senior inspectors, trainee inspectors, and the last one is a police sergeant."

"Usually they are police academy students who have graduated in the past five years. Some have only graduated two years ago. They have seen the colorful world outside. Isn't it nice to be called "sir" by someone?"

There was no answer from the police officer.

He Dingxian shouted: "Now that you are here, forget your previous identity and be a good student."

"Every table at the lunch party is full of leftovers. I let you eat well and didn't let you waste food. Remember, that welcome lunch was the best meal you had in a year. Now put the wasted food Stuff it all into your belly!”

An American instructor made a gesture at the side, and two assistant instructors immediately brought several buckets of swill and placed them in front of everyone.

Although the leftovers haven't gone rancid yet, they look like pig food when mixed together.

The police officers participating in the training all had ugly expressions and hesitated to speak.

"Two minutes, if there is any leftover food, fast for forty-eight hours." He Dingxian raised the watch on his hand and took a look at it. The American instructor immediately became furious: "GOGOGO!"

"One minute and fifty-six seconds left!"

The police officers immediately lost their patience and rushed forward. At first they were lying next to the bucket to eat, but time was urgent and someone pushed the bucket over again, leaving a large group of people digging for food on the ground.

The trainee police officers in three square formations were running around the playground. When they saw the training police officer in the middle, they felt fear and admiration in their hearts. Some of them were filled with yearning.

"What are you looking at?"

"You want to participate in the special mission company training. You are not qualified yet, but you can eat swill anytime you want!" The instructor yelled when he saw someone distracted.

The police force is also training its elite troops to prepare for the final storm.

This special mission company recruited a total of 72 police officers to form six 12-person teams. He Dingxian served as the chief instructor above the first name. Two instructors who were retired US Army captains were responsible for the actual training. There were also special vehicle driving and helicopter driving. , urban anti-K warfare and other subjects instructor.

All the instructors are hired by the police force with high salaries and use all-American training. There are not only sufficient quotas for elimination, but also sufficient quotas for death.

One year later, the graduating members will go to the independent Flying Tigers station, located in a newly built barracks next to the Tai Kwun, which also has a helicopter landing platform, garage, and dormitory building. The police force has budgeted to invest five million Hong Kong dollars just to establish a Flying Tigers unit, which shows how much they value this unit.

Once the first batch of trainees graduates, their salaries will be re-rated and increase year by year according to the years of service. They are promised to be transferred to the Flying Tigers at a higher level. In the event of disability, death and other benefits, the salary will be graded according to the years of service and merit.

This is the first time that the police force has launched an "annuity plan". You must know that in the past, police officers received fixed payments based on their rank, years of service, and although there were salary increases due to meritorious service, there was no grading system. This is tantamount to creating a "non-commissioned officer promotion system" within the "police officer promotion system".

Flying Tiger members will not need to consider politics or promotion. They only need to perform tasks and train well, and then they can be stable and receive an increase in salary. For most police officers with no background and low academic qualifications, it is a very healthy promotion system.

He Dingxian also wanted to use this promotion system to separate the Flying Tigers from ordinary departments, thereby ensuring the combat effectiveness of the Flying Tigers. To this end, he held a meeting with the Commissioner of Police and two deputy commissioners to discuss, and asked the police fund to contribute money together, and finally promoted the new system.

A new department, a new system, is a new upward path for most people.

Therefore, more than 700 police officers signed up for the training, including not only those from the operational department, but also a large number of uniformed and civilian police officers. But in the end, priority was given to young people in the operations department. Except for a few police officers from unpopular departments, most of them were at the sergeant level and all were Chinese.

Two months later.

"Report sir."

"Superintendent Chen Zichao of the Crime Squad is here to report!"

Tai Kwun.

Chen Zichao, wearing a suit, stood in the office of the Senior Assistant Director, stood at attention, saluted and shouted loudly.

He Dingxian walked out of the desk with a smile, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, looking at him and said: "Your body has recovered well. How about you, continue to manage the serious crime team for me?"

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Zichao saluted again and readily agreed.

"Do it well, and I will let you be the director in the future." He Dingxian will not divide the power in his hands anymore, especially for a celebrity like Chen Zichao who has just been commended and awarded a medal. Even in the midst of the integrity crisis, ICAC does not dare to deal with this randomly. Plant people to start.

He Dingxian lightly punched Chen Zichao in the chest. Chen Zichao immediately covered his chest, pretending to be miserable, and grinned: "Wow, sir, it hurts."

"Have you ever been hurt by a bullet?"

Governor's Palace.

"Sir, the new Governor will arrive in Hong Kong on November 18th, and the chosen one will be Mr. MacLehose, Ambassador of Denmark." The administrative secretary reported to Bai Liji who was at work. Bai Liji paused slightly with the pen in his hand and sighed: " The Labor Party's hand is still reaching out to the Colonial Office."

MacLehose had worked in the colonies early on, but later he had been working in the Foreign Office. He had served as the private secretary to Foreign Secretary Brown, and was even almost prosecuted in a military court for leaving a confidential document.

Fortunately, the document was recovered by a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Minister Brown tried his best to vouch for it.

Afterwards, MacLehose served as ambassador to many countries and had outstanding political achievements. He was a workaholic type figure. He had long heard that he was recommended to be the next governor-general.

In the honors list for the Queen's birthday this year, MacLehose had just been awarded the Order of St. Michael and St. George. From then on, Bai Liji knew that he would take over the position of Governor of Hong Kong Island. He gathered his mood and said: "Inform the Third Division and the Tenth The commander of the Second Bureau will accompany me to Kai Tak Airport on the 18th."

"Rent me a room at the Peninsula Hotel and move out of Victoria Peak on the morning of the 18th."

"Yes, sir."

The administrative secretary agreed.

"By the way, I have invited the general managers of the four major foreign banks to attend a welcome dinner on the 18th. I want to introduce them to the new governor."

November 18th.

3pm.

A special plane departing from London slowly landed at Kai Tak Airport. A group of Hong Kong government officials stood by the berth, quietly waiting for the appearance of the new Governor.

"McLehose is not an easy person to deal with."

He Dingxian stood in his office with a cigar in his mouth, looking towards the direction of Kowloon. He was extremely wary of the famous Governor Mak. He already had a premonition that the first thing the new Governor would do was to attack the police force.
