Hong Kong Island Old Events

"I support Sir Ho's work and even more support the restructuring of the police force."

Kunxian was the first to say: "Since the new system is adopted to select the Commissioner, I will no longer hold the position of Commissioner. After the new Police Commissioner is elected, I am willing to retire voluntarily to cooperate with the handover of the police force."

"Thank you, Mr. Kun."

Sir He was not surprised by Kunxian's attitude.

Shi Keming also nodded: "Sir He's opinion is very reasonable, but at the Constitutional Committee level, one person has one vote. How should the qualifications of the new director be defined?"

"Are all directors at the director level eligible to run for election, or are they at the constitutional committee level?"

If everyone at the director level is eligible to run, there will be more than ten candidates. If it is at the constitutional committee level, there are currently more than 80 people, and there may be as many as 200 people in the future.

Ho Dingxian said: "As a disciplinary force, the police force is an action-oriented force. The election method of the responsible person is to be open, fair and fair. It is also to introduce more people to supervise the change of power in the police force. It cannot be because of elections. Stop damaging the morale of the police force."

"If the qualifications for candidacy are delegated to the director level, all high-level work in the future will focus on votes and political achievements, and no one will consider future social development and make long-term plans. Therefore, I suggest that the qualifications for candidacy be locked at the deputy level. At the director level, only two deputy directors can participate in the election.”

The expressions of Kunxian, Shi Kaiming and Ge Bai all changed, each with their own thoughts.

As the saying goes, small meetings are held for big things and big meetings are held for small things.

The final decisions on many matters were reached in private discussions between a few people. Originally, the three of them had guessed that Sir He would elect a new director and completely update the power structure of the police force. They even thought that Sir He might personally participate in the election.

He became the first Chinese director of the disciplinary forces and the first officer of the disciplinary forces elected through institutional elections. Unexpectedly, Sir He personally set a hurdle and set the rank as deputy director of operations.

Then the next chief must be Ge Bai!

"Sir, if the qualifications for the election are set at the deputy director level, I'm afraid it will not be much different from the previous appointment." Skiming knew that he had no chance to rise to the top, so he did not make any random ideas. Instead, he said seriously: "After all, , when the Hong Kong government appointed a new director, it also had to consider resume, prestige, and ability to actually control the police force."

"As a disciplinary force, the police force always attaches great importance to the prestige of its officers. Without a convincing resume, the police officers below will not be convinced."

He Dingxian smiled and replied: "The creation of power is from the bottom up, but the delegation of power is from the top. The police force works from the bottom up and obtains the qualification to grant self-power, which is the greatest achievement of the restructuring."

"Although you are right, every officer must be good enough and able to take on the overall situation, otherwise why should we listen to his orders? In fact, every system hopes to elect capable and disciplined officials. It can be the same person, but who has the power to appoint is the most critical."

"A person's appointment only lasts for two years. It is not a big problem to use the wrong person for two years. The power of appointment is ten or fifty years."

"I see."

Skimming sighed and understood that restructuring is not about who to appoint and who not to appoint, but who appoints and who obeys the appointment. Moreover, the Chinese faction in the police force is already in power and holds the power of appointment. The future power will be 100% in the hands of the Chinese faction.

To seize the power of the police force from the Chinese faction, in the past, we only needed to defeat the Chinese representatives. In the future, we need to defeat a whole system, starting with amending the law. The difficulty has increased exponentially, making it almost impossible.

At least, in the remaining twenty-five years of Da Ying's lease, there was no hope at all.

"Amazing."

He had to admire Sir Ho's political methods.

However, He Dingxian just implements the idea of ​​​​being ruthless and ruthless in doing things. The longer he stays in the political arena, the more he can grasp the key points of politics. Understand that fighting against someone within the system is only at the lowest level, fighting against the system is only at the middle level, and fighting with the system is at the highest level.

Whenever he has the opportunity, he always attacks the system, changes it, and targets political opponents. In the eyes of a group of ghost bureaucrats, they are naturally cruel and sharp, and they are very stubborn when it comes to doing things. Kunxian responded promptly: "Then the next police chief will be born between Sir Ge and Sir Si."

"Sir."

"Who do you think has a better chance?"

He glanced at Sir He.

Before Sir He could speak, Si Keming immediately said: "I am not capable enough to hold the position of director, so I will voluntarily give up the candidacy."

"good."

He Dingxian nodded happily and said with a smile: "I also support Sir Ge even more."

"ah?"

Ge Bai was still immersed in the last round of discussion, his heart was pounding, and he was thinking that he would be the next director of the department, right? Unexpectedly, Sir He expressed his position on the spot and appointed him as the next director of the department by default.

With Sir Ho's appeal in the police force today, he can get unanimous approval from the constitutional committee with just one sentence. Opening his mouth to support is tantamount to being elected.

"ha?"

He took a breath again, then came back to his senses, widened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Thank you, Sir, for your support. I will serve the police well, protect the social order of Hong Kong Island, and ensure the safety of all citizens' lives and property."

"Sit, sit, sit."

He Dingxian waved his hand and quickly told Ge Bai to sit down. Ge Bai just jumped up from the chair, with his hands already raised in preparation for a salute. After hearing this, he sat down obediently with his knees on his knees, sitting in a very upright posture.

"There is still at least more than half a year until the first election of the Commissioner of Police. Within half a year, the police force needs to complete departmental reorganization and internal reforms. It is up to you to lead the relevant work to better accumulate political foundation."

"Sir, you must cooperate seriously."

Skimming straightened his back and said solemnly: "Yes, sir!"

He Dingxian did not run for the new director election, not because he was stoic, but out of emotion and let Ge Bai enjoy his life in one term. The main reason is that we don’t want to disrupt the power class. If the scope of candidacy is expanded to include senior assistant directors, then the senior assistant directors are likely to become their own faction in the future.

Everyone who is qualified to be in power is essentially qualified to form a political force.

He didn't want to have been in the position of director for a few terms, but a large group of deputy directors and senior assistant directors under his command were eager to get the position. At that time, the police force will become like a society, engaged in black money and vote politics for a position.

If there are clear ranks now, don't even think about running for election if you are not deputy director. Just do your job well and obey the orders of your superiors as your bounden duty.

Only this kind of police force can continue the tradition of disciplined forces and unleash its combat effectiveness. The restructuring must be for the better, and it is impossible to go back with more changes. In terms of Sir He's current influence, it doesn't really matter if he is one term later or one term earlier. It is more important to lay a solid foundation than to rush to the position.

"Sir Ge, Sir Si, you two will come up with a plan as soon as possible. If it goes well, Sir Si can continue to cooperate with Sir Ge next year." He Dingxian plans to use Shi Keming for another term, and Shi Keming will cooperate with the police. The team will do a good job in clearing out the colonialists.

In the future, there will only be one faction in the police force, and that is the Chinese force! The Chinese can be divided into different factions, which is a natural development trend, but Gui Lao can either blend in or get out, there is no second choice.

Even the pro-China faction waiting for a price will no longer exist. Every British police officer can only enjoy the same treatment as a Chinese police officer. In the future, it will even be much harder to get along with than a Chinese police officer. This is the change of the times and its impact. everyone.

Of course, this process can take at least two to three years, and can take up to five years. The continued appointment of Shi Keming is not because he is obedient, but because he has witnessed the rise of the Chinese, can do things with ease, and will no longer have unrealistic expectations. fantasy.

Seeing that there was still a chance to stay in office next year, Si Keming immediately cheered up and replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Sir He."

"We must do it as soon as possible." Ge Bai turned to look at Shi Keming, his eyes changed from hostility to scrutiny. In fact, they all knew about Sir He's restructuring ideas, and then Sir He communicated again and put forward the suggestions. Concrete and detailed considerations are naturally the work of the two officers.

Sir Ho's restructuring plan is also very simple. Except for the election of the director, the rest are copied from the later Hong Kong Island Police Force. Because, in later generations, the Hong Kong police is actually a very mature force. As long as the main body of power is ensured, the system can be copied.

"As for the rewards and punishments of the police force, I made a list, Sir Kun Xian can refer to it."

He Dingxian took out a document on the table and handed it to Kun Xian in front of him. Kun Xian took the document and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sir He. I will definitely refer to your opinions more."

Everyone here knew that Kun Xian didn't even need to read this document because he didn't have the power to change even a word.

He Dingxian said politely: "The commendation order can be issued as soon as possible, but the promotion will need to wait until the restructuring is completed, and it will be done according to the department level of the new system."

"completely fine."

Kunxian readily agreed.

"Okay, I've made an appointment with several disciplinary force officers to have dinner together in the afternoon. I'll go first." When He Dingxian saw that the conversation was over, he stood up and left proactively. Ge Bai and Shi Keming also left together, leaving only Kun. First, I stared out the window alone in a daze.

Obviously the scenery of Hong Kong Island remains the same, and the furnishings in the office remain unchanged, but the whole city has changed.

Since the restructuring involves all disciplinary forces, it is natural to communicate with the leaders of other disciplinary forces. In addition to the police force, the most exaggerated restructuring is the ICAC. After the entire ICAC was reorganized, a total of 21 police officers were dealt with. As many as 100 people were injured, and more than 200 people were suspended from their duties, waiting for the governor's order.

The rest of the army has clear functions and powers, so there are not many places that need to be reorganized. Apart from the same change to internal elections, the change of the system is not obvious. However, with the internal election decree taking effect, it is only a matter of time before Chinese forces take control of all disciplined forces.

In the future, He Dingxian is fully capable of suppressing other disciplinary force chiefs as the spokesperson of the Chinese forces and acting as an arbiter. The commanders of the various disciplined forces can't do anything to save face, but it is almost impossible to completely control other disciplined forces. Because the political forces that have sprouted within the Chinese cannot unite closely around He Dingxian without external enemies. The police force is at most the chief rudder of the disciplinary forces, while officers of the customs, correctional services and other forces will all play the role of incense masters.

Chapter 2 will be updated tomorrow. I have been out on errands for the past two days and have spent a lot of time on the road, but the amount of updates will remain unchanged.
