Chapter 508, The Governor's Temptation(1/2)
"By the way, Brother Dong, there is one more thing I want to tell you. I heard a piece of news from the Hong Kong Governor's Office. Someone advised the Hong Kong Governor to amend the "Police Ordinances". It is said that the Hong Kong Governor has already made a move. Very soon
It will be pushed soon.”
Even though he knew that no one was eavesdropping, Yazi still lowered his voice very low, almost speaking into Lei Weidong's ear.
"The Governor of Hong Kong wants to amend the Police Regulations. It is probably aimed at me. It seems that I have put too much pressure on these Eagle Country people and I will be punished personally."
Lei Weidong is not surprised that the Hong Kong Governor wants to amend the Police Regulations. If you want to force the Hong Kong government to amend the law, you will not allow the people of Eagle Country to fight back.
The reason for setting the target of the counterattack on "Police Cases" is simple: the police force has almost become owned by Lei Weidong.
Compared with the money empire back then, Lei Weidong's power in the police force was much greater than Lei Le's.
Lei Le looks majestic, but in fact he is just a puppet. Even if the people of the Eagle Country take him down, Lei Le does not dare to resist. He is a dog raised by the people of the Eagle Country. How can a dog resist its owner unless he becomes a useless dog? However,
There is only one outcome for becoming a mad dog, and that is death.
How could Lei Le, who had been the boss for more than ten years, dare to risk his life? He just killed Huo Qilin in revenge, then packed up his belongings and prepared to leave.
Lei Weidong is different.
His strength in the police force is not just due to his position.
Let's put it this way, even if one day Lei Weidong's position under his butt is kicked out by the Eagle Nation, the replacement can only be done by Lei Weidong's people. Others, regardless of whether they are Eagle Nation people or yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people,
You can't even sit firmly, and you will be kicked down even if you sit on it.
The Governor of Hong Kong can only remove Lei Weidong from his police rank, and it is impossible to expand the crackdown. Otherwise, the whole of Hong Kong will be in chaos, and Lei Weidong will be forced to hold his position as governor.
Lei Weidong not only has the police in his hands, but also the largest security company in Xiangjiang, which is larger than a division, and 80% of them are veterans from the mainland.
Because they are veterans, they are a bit weak compared to the army, but compared with the police force, these security guards who still maintain a military style can beat the police force to pieces no matter they are armed with a gun or empty-handed. Even if there are people like Chen Jiaju and Zhou Xingxing to hold the line, they will not be able to do it.
.
How to put it, if Xiangjiang is compared to a county in ancient times, Lei Weidong is equivalent to the largest powerful man in the county. He not only controls the county officials, but also controls the towns below, and supports thousands of servants.
The governor of Hong Kong is equivalent to the county magistrate sent from above. If he has a good relationship with Lei Weidong, his position will be secure, and he may be promoted to a higher position after a few years of promotion and wealth.
If he goes against him, even if he has the help of his master, county captain, garrison troops and some powerful people, he will not be able to secure his position. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the county magistrate will be withdrawn and leave in disgrace.
Of course, this metaphor is not entirely correct. The situation in Xiangjiang is much more complicated than that of ancient counties, and the power of the Hong Kong Governor is much greater. He is not alone, but has a large group of ghost old people and yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people to serve him.
But even so, the Hong Kong Governor is not in the right position with Lei Weidong, at least not openly. He can only use negative means. Amending the "Police Regulations" is one way.
"Do you know what the Hong Kong Governor wants to amend in the Police Regulations?" Lei Weidong asked with a smile on his face.
"It mainly involves the personnel power of the police force!" Yazi lay in Lei Weidong's arms, drawing circles on his chest with his fingers, and said, "The Governor of Hong Kong wants to get the appointment power above the level of superintendent.
Promotion to the rank of superintendent must be approved by the Governor-General,"
"With the power of appointment above the superintendent level, the Hong Kong Governor has a really big appetite, and he won't be starved to death." Yazi's words made Lei Weidong's face darken, and he snorted coldly.
The police force is a violent department and its operation is relatively independent. Other departments of the Hong Kong government can only block the police force in terms of funding and do not have any rights in personnel matters.
Even after the fall of the money empire, restrictions were put in place to limit police abuse of power.
Not to mention that the promotion of the following police officers is decided by the police force itself. Even the Hong Kong government has no right to choose the director. The ancestors, that is, the Eagle Country, directly accepts the fate.
This can be seen from the license plate of the Commissioner of Police. No. 1, this license plate can only be used by the Commissioner of Police!
Although this is related to the fact that the Hong Kong police are responsible for issuing license plates, the "1" license plate can naturally be hung on the Police Commissioner's car.
But it also has something to do with the importance of the police force.
Later, the authority to issue license plates was transferred from the police to the Transportation Department!
The Transportation Department intends to auction those special license plates for charity. License plate numbers from 1 to 10 are all included in the auction. Among them, Shao Daheng won the license plate 6.
Other license plates were also purchased by wealthy people, except for No. 1.
Because the Commissioner of Police at the time was firmly opposed to it, and faced with the strength of the police force, the Transport Department had to compromise and leave the "1" license plate to the police force.
Because of the popularity of movies such as Young and Dangerous, many people think that the Hong Kong community is very powerful. People like Chen Haonan and Shan Ji are so powerful that in many Hong Kong TV dramas,
The protagonists all become the overlords of one party through gangs, and even the Hong Kong Governor has to look at his face to act, so he underestimates the power of the police force.
Whether in reality or in movies or Hong Kong dramas, the police force has a firm control over Hong Kong. No matter how rampant the gangs are, they can only fight and fight over territory at night, and guns cannot be used. Once guns are used, the entire police force will be dispatched to destroy them.
Sexual assault.
As for attacking the police!
This is indeed true, because as a police officer, especially a front-line police officer, if you want to be promoted and perform meritorious service, you have to risk your life. If you do too much, you will inevitably offend people unknowingly.
Just like Chen Jiaju!
This guy is in Xiangjiang. He has many enemies who want his life, openly or secretly. Zhu Tao in the movie is one of them.
That is to say, Chen Jiaju is very skilled, famous and even appeared in the police magazine. Although his police rank is not very high, he is very prestigious among front-line police officers, which makes his enemies very afraid and dare not take action.
Because understanding Chen Jiaju is equivalent to slapping the police force in the face and having to bear the wrath of the police force.
You know, the Hong Kong police force has more than 30,000 people, including more than 20,000 front-line gunmen. If such a violent organization is fully operational.
In Xiangjiang, except for the old garrison of Yingguo, no one else can bear it.
Of course, super policemen like Chen Jiaju are just an exception. Not every police officer has Chen Jiaju's skills and status. There are many every year, especially the policemen who come back undercover and have accidents unknowingly. Some even leave their bodies behind.
None can be found.
Because there is no target to attack and no evidence, the police force cannot take action. The most they can do is provide more subsidies and compensation to the families of police officers who died in the line of duty.
This is all done behind the scenes, but no one dares to do it openly. The more people there are, the less the gangsters dare to confront the police unless you can ensure that no one knows about it.
Otherwise, once the news is leaked, you, your boss and even the club behind you can disappear.
You cannot attack the police, at least not openly. This is the bottom line drawn by the police force for the society. In Hong Kong, the police force is the real uncrowned king.
Even the most powerful societies are interesting to the police force.
Because the unique environment of Xiangjiang determines that societies cannot be destroyed. If Hongxing is destroyed, there will still be Dongxing. If Dongxing is destroyed, there will still be Hesheng. Without Hesheng, there will still be more than a dozen societies waiting to take over.
Therefore, as long as you don't go too far, the police force will turn a blind eye. If you go too far, it will be too easy to kill you.
Not to mention that it only works if there is evidence, this is a team that is just a fan of Zhu Tao.
For associations with a fixed territory, just arrest the top management of your association and lock them up for 48 hours, and then find an excuse to lock them down when the time comes.
After two consecutive incidents, other associations understood what the police meant, and without any notice, they would swarm in and carve up their territory.
As for the boss being away, the younger brother will keep the family.
Don't think that the younger brothers in the club are very loyal to the boss. Except for the eldest brother above, the younger brothers below join the club just to have a meal and not be bullied. For them, it doesn't matter who they hang out with.
There are many people who vote for Hongxing today and Dongxing tomorrow. As long as you are not a core member, no one will care if you change three clubs a day.
Without the territory and the younger brothers, if the bosses are released, they will become the bare commanders directly. It is almost impossible to make a comeback.
This kind of thing happens a lot in Hong Kong. Countless associations were wiped out by the police without any trouble at all.
Such a powerful tool must be in the hands of the Hong Kong Governor. Interfering with the police force's fate is the first step, and it is also a very dangerous step. It has definitely never happened in real time and space.
In this world, it is probably because of Lei Weidong's strength that he forced the Hong Kong Governor to take this step. There is even a London side behind this.
Lei Weidong must resist and push him back, otherwise the police force will collapse and become the governor's plaything, squeezing Lei Weidong out of the police force.
This is not without examples, just like Yu Qian's reform of the army in the Ming Dynasty.
I have to say that Yu Qian was a talented person. He won the battle to defend the capital and saved the Ming Dynasty. His reform of the army was also right, because the army had begun to corrupt, and changes were necessary. However, as a civilian, Yu Qian inevitably embarked on a military career.
The path of civil service.
While reforming the army, he took the power of appointing and removing mid-level and senior military officers from the Fifth Governor's Office and placed it in the hands of the Ministry of War, that is, civilian officials.
Now it's better. In the past, civilian officials dealt with military generals mainly in terms of military pay and logistics. If you were dishonest, you would be given less, and if you were honest and obedient, you would be given more. Use money to make military generals bow their heads.
In terms of status, civil servants and generals are almost the same.
Before Yu Qian, the promotion of generals was an internal matter within the army. For promotion of low-level officers, as long as the superiors liked you, they could promote you. For high-level positions, several military officers would just hold a meeting to discuss it.
But it was no longer possible after Yu Qian. The promotion of military generals was directly determined by civilian officials. No matter how good you did, your superiors could not promote you. If you need to report to the Ministry of War, it would be decided by the civilian officials of the Ministry of War.
It was okay at first, but I was worried about the backlash of military officers, so it would be more fair for civilian officials to be promoted.
Later it stopped working.
If you don't get money, you won't be promoted. No matter how talented or capable you are, you won't be favored by your superiors. Only those who are called good men outside the Donghua Gate are called good men. Military generals are all low-ranking warriors. If you obey, I will give you something to eat.
If you don't listen, you will be killed immediately.
Just like the famous Qi family army in the Ming Dynasty, they became motherless after Qi Jiguang left. They finally made great contributions in the Korean battlefield, but the Ministry of War was still unwilling to cash in the reward.
This made the Qi Jiajun very dissatisfied, so they complained frequently and wanted the Ministry of War to honor it. As a result, the Ministry of War rebelled and directly strangled three thousand Qi Jiajun. At this point, the Qi Jiajun existed in name only.
This made the Qi Jiajun very dissatisfied, so they complained frequently and wanted the Ministry of War to honor it. As a result, the Ministry of War rebelled and directly strangled three thousand Qi Jiajun. At this point, the Qi Jiajun existed in name only.
They were the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, but instead of being used on the battlefield, they were in the hands of their own people.
Lei Weidong is the same now.
If the Hong Kong Governor is asked to amend the "Police Regulations", it is certain that within a few years, all police officers under Lei Weidong will not have the opportunity to be promoted. On the contrary, those banana people who are hostile to Lei Weidong will be promoted step by step.
When the upper echelons are crowded with the Hong Kong Governor's people, not only will Lei Weidong be kicked out of the police force, but people like Chen Jiaju, Zhou Xingxing, Li Jun, Ma Jun, Instructor Hu, Guo Haihua, and Fang Zheng will also be kicked out.
To be continued...
