735 The time is reversed(1/2)
"During the 1970s, Hong Kong Island's economy was developing, and my family valued Hong Kong Island's tariffs and trade."
"At that time, the status of the Chinese was low, and the lives of the people of Hong Kong and the police force were not good. During the period of police integrity conflicts, the Hong Kong Island Police Force had a social environment of unrest."
"But it's different now." Commissioner Henry stood up straight and said eloquently: "Now Hong Kong Island is about to be handed back to China. No matter how it is dealt with, the Hong Kong and Hong Kong tariffs will be collected for 97 years, and the citizens of Hong Kong Island will not let go.
It was on the ancestral family, and then it was on the Chinese side."
"Everyone is profit-seeking, how can we reflect the value of people?"
"That is to use bargaining chips to talk to the other party! At that time, China was the bargaining chip of the Chinese people in Hong Kong Island, and they talked with us. Now, we are the bargaining chip of the Chinese people in Hong Kong Island, and they use us to talk to the Chinese side."
Finished talking about the big strategy.
Henry focuses the language on a small level.
"So, with the threat from the mainland at their back, the Chinese in Hong Kong were able to walk to the bottom of Tin Ping Mountain with guns and flock to the gate of the Hong Kong Governor's Office."
"But now! The Chinese people in Hong Kong, whether they are in the police force or other business circles or political circles, will never be able to repeat the turmoil during the police integrity conflict. Because once turmoil occurs, we can take the opportunity to publicize that it is China's method, and perhaps postpone the return
It’s not feasible, but we will definitely gain more benefits.”
"For example, claiming that this is unrest supported by China, or smearing them, saying that it is the return of citizens' dissatisfaction..."
"Moreover, wouldn't China be worried if the Hong Kong Police Force staged riots again in the 1990s? They can cause riots this year, but can they also do so in 1997?"
This is the key point!
The Hong Kong Governor was completely convinced.
"You're right 'Henry', the situation is indeed different now." Hong Kong Governor Morris agreed with a tone full of appreciation.
"Since the turmoil in the police force has begun to benefit us and has a huge negative impact on Zhuang Shikai, then our ICAC's actions will definitely not cause a second police-integrity conflict!" Henry said with great certainty.
"With Zhuang Shikai's IQ, he will never go astray!"
"How do you want to start?" Melis began to examine his tactical policy.
Since it is feasible strategically, it must be carefully examined tactically.
With Zhuang Shikai's political methods and attacking without good enough tactics, ICAC may fail again.
"First investigate the corruption situation in the Chinese political arena, instead of directly attacking the police force. I have already obtained the list of officials attending the Peninsula Dinner."
"These people are die-hard patriots who cannot hide at all, and they have no need to hide now. All departments know that the return is coming, and they do not dare to deliberately make things difficult for them."
Henry took out a list and handed it to the governor.
The Governor didn't even look at it. He put it on the table and nodded. "I know these people, but the return of Hong Kong Island is a foregone conclusion. Administrative suppression is afraid of causing unrest. It will not change the situation at all."
"However, it is indeed feasible to use ICAC to investigate corruption, but only if they are really involved in corruption and bribery."
"These people seem to be pretty clean."
China will check the background of employees and screen them, and generally has zero tolerance for corrupt officials.
"Yes! Most people are quite clean, but ICAC has opened files for investigation on sixteen people. These sixteen people all accepted bribes for some unknown reason. Some of them took bribes seven or eight years ago, and some even
More than ten years ago..."
"Perhaps they have even forgotten?"
"Haha." Henry sneered: "Not to mention the Chinese inspection team, even they themselves now think they are honest officials."
Almost all of the investigative files on these sixteen Chinese officials contain solid evidence, and some of them were corrupted together with Gui Lao, and the previous anti-corruption commissioners did not take action against them.
Some of them were investigated in other cases in the past two or three years and were involved. However, due to the good relationship between the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the police force, they have not taken action against these people for the time being.
The remaining part simply did not open the investigation.
Obviously, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has always been careful and kept files on people in key departments.
I'm afraid it was specially prepared as a bargaining chip.
"After arresting these people, just in the name of cooperating with the investigation and being suspicious, we can take away dozens of people! More than a hundred people can be taken away!"
"At that time, those who should be suspended from their posts and those who should be fired should be dismissed. The power of more than 100 people will be eradicated!"
Henry's eyes flashed fiercely and he said: "In this way, we can give Zhuang Shikai a severe blow and severely injure him."
Immediately, he put on a smile and said: "Such a heavy blow is enough to damage Zhuang Shikai's prestige and return to the committee. Haha, he can't do this position well. He can't do well in the position of the leader of the Chinese political circles in Hong Kong."
"We can also improve other industries' cooperation with the ancestral family and make other aspects easier. Maybe there will be Chinese who are shocked by the power of the empire and take the initiative to move closer to us."
"However... it is best not to expand the scope of the attack, otherwise it may be counterproductive and cause the Chinese to unite."
This plan has strategies and tactics, and it's timely.
It can be said that Henry is a thoughtful official, otherwise he would not be able to become an anti-corruption commissioner.
Unfortunately, it is not so much a blow to the Chinese political scene.
Rather, it is his personal revenge to vent his anger! A way to restore his prestige and face!
"Bang!" At this time, Malis listened to the plan in silence and calmly, and calmly considered it for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped the coffee table with his palm: "I have a lot of opinions about the Hong Kong Island Police Force!"
“I have greater opinions on Chinese politics!”
"Just go ahead and do it! I fully support you!" Miles raised his voice and said firmly.
"Thank you for tempting me!" Henry responded softly.
Afterwards, Henry turned around and left the Governor's Mansion and study.
He walked away along the embroidered carpet.
But Melis stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Humph! Why can't we expand the situation?"
"In addition to learning Chinese in Hong Kong Island, I also learned another thing."
"If the Chinese spirit wants to do something, it must be a big one!" Miles said with great enthusiasm, his eyes red.
It is said that there has been some opposition to him from the British upper echelons recently.
These voices are the defenders represented by "Ge Bai".
"Ge Bai" is trying to get him to step down as the governor of Hong Kong. The reason is that he has served as the governor of Hong Kong for many years without obvious political achievements, his term is too long, he has violated regulations, etc...
And it seems to be hindering the operation of his rights.
His hopes of gaining a hereditary baronet were in vain!
This put Melis under a lot of pressure, which led to Melis hoping to make some outstanding achievements at the end of his term to silence the conservatives.
You know, these pressures have been conveyed to Downing Street.
If it were not for the strong support of the royal family, Melis would probably have to resign and leave.
There is nothing to regret about the position of a Hong Kong governor.
However, if the hope of obtaining a hereditary baronet fails, his family will lose the opportunity to enter the British aristocracy for generations. In addition to being a symbol, the British aristocracy also has great resources in business and politics.
It can be said that becoming a noble means being rich for generations, but in a different way.
Morris doesn't want to lose this opportunity. The best way is to win a big victory as a political achievement, that is, to severely attack the Hong Kong Island Police Force. If it can succeed, the conservatives will not only have to shut their mouths, but also the police force.
The interests held by the supportive Chinese business community can also be slowly regained piece by piece.
The British royal family and British capital both have great interests in Hong Kong Island. The reason why the British royal family supports Morris is that he can better protect the interests of the British royal family. The reason why British political opponents attack him forcefully is because he
The interests of British capital were lost.
If we can successfully get back the interests of British capital.
No matter how much or how little.
Conservatives always have to give face...
It's better than nothing.
"The premise is that your plan can go forward." The Hong Kong Governor narrowed his eyes and secretly said.
One week later.
The weather is calm and sunny.
General Administration.
Office of the Deputy Chief of Operations.
"Private Zhuang, ICAC Integrity Commissioner Henry does not have a company under his name on Hong Kong Island."
"His family's companies are registered in London, Birmingham, Edinburgh and other places, which are outside the scope of our investigation."
Zhuang Shikai was sitting on his desk, holding a document in his hand and facing the people in front of him.
The person in charge of CCB stood in front of him and preached.
I flipped it over and over as if looking for some information.
Li Shutang, Cai Yuanqi, Zhuo Jingquan and others stood nearby waiting.
"I have arranged a piece of evidence for his bribery crime. The relevant witnesses and physical evidence have been obtained. It is bound to Norman and has a complete chain of evidence." The CCB chief continued.
Now that Norman has died, the relevant criminal evidence is naturally left to the police to fabricate, or "investigate".
To be continued...
