Hong Kong Island Old Events

"good."

"I agree to your conditions." MacLehose was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, using Ji Da's life as a political bargaining chip to easily redeem it into this political transaction. Although, he knew very well that the restructuring led by the police force was definitely not the same as the restructuring wanted by the Hong Kong government.

However, to the outside world, if the police force can complete some restructuring and stop expanding the money empire, the governor's office will be regarded as ineffective. It still looks like they lost, but it doesn't look like they lost too badly.

Of course, this can only serve to protect the image of the Hong Kong government in the eyes of ordinary people, but for him, it is enough to maintain the image in the eyes of ordinary people.

"As for the restructuring of the police force, how do you want to change it?"

MacLehose looked up at Ho Dingxian, but Ji Da struggled beside him and said: "Sir MacLehose, you must not make a deal with the police force. Every transaction sells one point of sovereignty. The credibility and dominance of the Hong Kong government lies in the high-level exchanges with the Chinese." Lost everything in this transaction!"

"It's no different than making a deal with the devil."

Yan Xiong raised his foot, kicked Jida to the ground hard, and then stomped on his stomach.

"ah."

Ji Da opened her mouth and screamed.

Yan Xiong yelled: "TMD, a prisoner, you still think you are a commissioner?"

"Pull it down."

With a wave of his hand, two police officers immediately stepped forward and dragged Jida away. On the way, Jida twisted her body and tried to make some efforts, but was directly strangled by someone's neck. She couldn't breathe, her eyes widened, and she vomited. Tongue, almost suffocated to death.

Neither Ho Dingxian nor MacLehose paid attention to the destined outcome of a loser. The Commissioner of Integrity was specially appointed by the Governor. Just kidding, even the life of the Governor was at risk. Who cares about the Commissioner of Integrity?

He Dingxian looked at the Governor and said: "The restructuring of the police force is very simple. First, expand the police force, use more manpower, and solve social security problems in more detail. You know, the police force only had more than a thousand Chinese police officers in the early days. But there are more than one million Chinese people to manage, and the ratio of police to civilians is one thousand to one. Coupled with the current turmoil and the city's special location, it is impossible to implement effective management."

"Inevitably, it will create space for crime, which will lead to collusion between the police force and the community."

"Because without tacit understanding and cooperation between the two parties, society cannot function in an orderly manner. The money empire mentioned by the ICAC seems to describe the police force as a den of thieves, but that is just a product of the Chinese people in the police force compromising the current social status."

"The Hong Kong government has the primary responsibility for this!"

MacLehose was stunned.

"Second, the top brass of the Hong Kong government must completely trust the Chinese in the police force. They want Chinese to manage Chinese, but they are also unwilling to give formal authority to Chinese."

"The establishment of positions such as the Criminal Division and the Chinese Inspector is nothing more than a management style of inferiority and power, requiring the Chinese to do the hardest work and bear the most responsibilities without giving the Chinese political status."

"In the future, the Hong Kong government will no longer be able to deploy federal police officers from their ancestral homeland into the police force. All recruitment for the Hong Kong Island Police Force will be conducted in Hong Kong."

This is to squeeze the ghost guys out of the power system of the police force, but there are still many British police officers in the police force, and their ideas need to be taken into account, not based on nationality. But if the descendants of the current British police officers in the police force want to continue to join the police, they can definitely apply for Hong Kong Island identity cards.

Let’s be Hong Kong people for a while, and then let’s be Chinese people together in the future.

If the Hong Kong government loses the power to transfer people from the main government, it will no longer have the opportunity to control the police force or even any disciplinary force in the future.

"no problem."

MacLehose nodded in agreement.

"Finally, the top officers of the Hong Kong government, ICAC, and all disciplined forces in Hong Kong are no longer appointed by the Government House. Instead, they are elected by the internal constitutional committee and then reported to the Government House. Without major scandals and special events, the Government House cannot Approval is refused without reason.”

"The officers of the disciplinary forces who have not been voted by the internal constitutional committee will not be recognized by the disciplinary forces."

This move is tantamount to leading the disciplined forces to separate themselves from the Governor-General's Palace. In the future, the disciplined forces will form their own political system.

The governor's legal power to command disciplined forces is completely lost, and the government, military, and police will become a tripartite system. In short, each will manage its own affairs.

"good."

The Governor has become a puppet.

"In addition, in all bidding projects of the Hong Kong government, the registered place of origin of bidding companies shall not be restricted, and no unreasonable penalties shall be imposed based on capital attributes. The market economy must have free competition." He Dingxian's tone was tough, leaving no room for error.

"Sir, there is no problem with the restructuring of the police force and the autonomy of the disciplined forces, but the police force has inserted its hands into the business world." The financial adjutant of the Governor instinctively interjected, hoping to gain some conditions.

He Dingxian said confidently: "You can't interfere with the police force, but I can interfere with you guys. At best, you are just a group of tenants who will leave sooner or later. At worst, you are just a group of robbers, occupying the magpie's nest. As the owners, we cannot decide what happens in our home." Everything?"

"Shut up!"

Yan Xiong raised the gun in his hand and stared at Gui Lao with a murderous look on his face.

The financial adjutant immediately turned off the engine and backed away.

In fact, these conditions seem very harsh and are designed to deprive the Hong Kong government of its right to rule. However, every condition is very reasonable. It is nothing more than turning the slogan of Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong into the real Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong.

In this way, as much of the wealth created by the development of Hong Kong Island can be retained on Hong Kong Island as much as possible to improve the living standards of Hong Kong citizens. Although some wealth will be sucked away through bulk transactions, import and export, equal trade and colonial dumping are two different concepts.

Many of these conditions are rules that will be followed by future generations. Even fifty years into the future, they will still be able to firmly protect the interests of Hong Kong people.

"It turns out you are really doing good for this city."

MacLehose suddenly sighed deeply, with a rather complicated expression on his face. With his political understanding, he couldn't see that the police force was indeed planning to restructure from the inside out, and this conflict was on the basis of the overall situation. in the interests of Hong Kong citizens.

For example, the Hong Kong police has a low ratio of police officers to civilians. For example, restrictions on Chinese capital have led to discrimination in Chinese employment, and the development of huge social organizations. These problems do not occur alone, but are associated with each other and have a cause-and-effect relationship.

He Dingxian led the police team to use the most violent means to dig out the lesions. In the next ten years, no, it may only take five years.

Hong Kong Island society will definitely see significant improvements, and citizens will experience the benefits of this change in education, employment, commerce and other aspects.

But the British-owned foreign companies, the Gui Lao government, and the Commonwealth suffered huge losses.

Who was the lesion dug up by the police?

It's not them!

They are the biggest cancer parasitic on Hong Kong Island.

"nonsense."

He Dingxian threw his cigarette butt on the ground and cursed loudly: "There is a burglar in the house, don't fight him out! Remember all the conditions I just mentioned clearly. Legislation must be passed within a week and formally written into the law!"

"I'll arrange it."

MacLehose felt much more at ease and spoke much more powerfully.

Yan Xiong, Chen Zichao and others were standing by, but they all had doubts in their hearts. For example, why did the police force need to be restructured? This is also the issue that everyone in the police force is most concerned about, but because Sir He's authority has reached its peak, all the police officers heard clearly, but no one dared to ask more questions.

Most people believe that the purpose of storming Victoria Peak and capturing MacLehose alive was to protect the interests of the money empire and the interests of all police officers. It is to disband the Independent Commission Against Corruption and maintain the authority of the police force. But in fact, He Dingxian understands that the "money empire" is outdated and cannot keep up with the economic development of Hong Kong Island. Even if it takes another five or ten years, he will still not be able to escape the fate of the empire's collapse.

And with every extra day, the backlash in the future will be stronger.

Instead of being buried together with the money empire, it is better to let the money empire become a thing of the past with the victory of the conflict between police and integrity. And he took advantage of the popularity to give society a new order and turn Hong Kong Island into a Chinese-dominated society.

Every change will inevitably hurt a group of vested interests.

Because as big a cake as you can cut, you can replenish the energy of society. If you are afraid of change and hesitate to take action, conflicts will still break out in the future. As the biggest vested interest in the money empire, He Dingxian took the initiative to cede his interests. This was not a loss, but the wisest choice. Because, once the money empire collapses in the future, he will be the most affected person. But if you want the change to transition smoothly, you must give back enough authority and benefits to the money empire!

Expanding the establishment of the police force is a return to the brothers with greater power. The disciplinary forces are autonomous and the Chinese capital is free, which is a return of benefits to the brothers.

During this period, the interests of most police officers have not only not been damaged, but have also been improved. In the future, the asset appreciation brought by the property market dividends and the salary increase brought by the market economy benefits will be enough.

He Dingxian relied on this military establishment to transfer internal conflicts to external conflicts, and cut off the flesh of the Guilao Hong Kong government for his own people. A few people who are greedy and habitual have no right to stir up trouble even if they are dissatisfied.

This is the real winner-takes-all, and the reason why He Dingxian can win has always been relying on the eight words "Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong, and Chinese people stand on their own feet"!

How can a person have earth-shaking power if he cannot recognize who he is, where he comes from, and where he is going?

After He Dingxian received the Governor's promise, he did not immediately order the police to withdraw from Taipingshan. Instead, he asked Yan Xiong to continue to control the Governor's Mansion and supervise the Governor to complete all administrative procedures. He went to the New Territories and Kowloon to inspect the frontline situation.

At this time, Jiang Zuhui was at the entrance of the ICAC, instructing his subordinates to put the injured people into white cars. The hospital on Hong Kong Island was destined to be very busy today. But after learning that Sir Ho had successfully climbed to Taiping Mountain and completed the meeting with the Governor, the people present were very happy and felt that victory had been achieved.

Jiang Zuhui was about to ask several subordinates to send people to patrol the streets to ensure the street order in the nearby area and prevent it from collapsing due to the ICAC incident. It doesn't matter how many people are killed or injured inside the ICAC, but what can be maintained outside the ICAC must be maintained as much as possible.

Although Sir Ho did not order a formal resumption of work, the police force has spontaneously taken over order.

"Sir Jiang."

An inspector led a few people and ran forward with a look of unwillingness, standing at attention and saluting: "The man named Yan didn't catch up."
