"Brother Dong, this is the list of arrests yesterday. After a night of arrests, a total of 9,738 people were arrested. All major police stations are already overcrowded.
The brothers have all been working overtime, but there are too many prisoners. Someone suggested that the action could be delayed a little, and the arrested people should be dealt with first, and then continue to arrest people? "
At nine o'clock the next morning, as soon as Lei Weidong walked into the office, Jian Huizhen sent over the prepared action report.
"The action cannot stop. We don't have much time. We must get everything done before the ghost guy reacts, otherwise we will cause endless trouble." Lei Weidong shook his head and refused:
"Tell brothers, if you work hard during this period and understand, I will apply for double overtime pay for everyone. After the operation is over, I will also provide you with double vacation."
“If you have money and a vacation, everyone will understand, but the detention rooms of all major police stations are already full, and they won’t be able to hold them if they arrest more people.
We can't move those people. Who knows what relationship they have. Maybe they escaped as soon as they left the police station! "Jian Huizhen said.
"Since it can't be filled, try to empty it as much as possible. How many people were tried yesterday?" Lei Weidong also didn't expect that the lack of space in the detention room would become the biggest bottleneck of Operation Thunder. He was silent for a while and asked.
"One thousand, six hundred and thirty-one people have been executed by firing squad, all of whom were spokesmen from major societies, white paper fans, and red sticks with double flowers. Among them, 267 were from Hongxing and 402 from Dongxing. He won three hundred and ninety-three people,
The rest are the speakers of medium and small groups such as Hongtai and Shahe Gang, Shuanghuahonggang and some drug dealers. "Jian Huizhen, who has memorized all the information in her mind, replied:
"It is expected that another four thousand to five thousand people will be arrested today. Counting yesterday's arrests, the number of people in custody will exceed 12,000, which has greatly exceeded the capacity of the detention center."
"Since there is no room in the detention center, we can put them in prison. Has the screening of prison inmates been completed? How many heinous crimes have been found that deserve the death penalty? How many bastards escaped because of amnesty or because they had money to hire a good lawyer?"
"Due to time constraints, we only completed a re-examination of a few prisons in Stanley and other prisons that house serious offenders, and screened out 1,432 inmates. These were either members of society or criminals who committed armed robberies. They were all executed for heinous crimes. Not an unjust bastard."
"Since they are all bastards, don't waste food. Just kill them and free up space to detain the prisoners." Lei Weidong decided the life and death of these people in one sentence, giving them no chance to come out again.
"Brother Dong, according to intelligence, many people fled into Kowloon City yesterday. What should I do? Should I let them go, or should I rush into Kowloon City to arrest them?"
"Don't move the prisoners who have entered Kowloon City. Let them survive for a few more days. When the outside is properly handled, and at the end of Operation Thunder, all police forces will be mobilized to bring Kowloon City to me.
Hong Kong does not need a lawless place like Kowloon City. "
Kowloon City is a special area in Hong Kong. Due to historical reasons, the police have no law enforcement power there, and over time it has become a lawless place in Hong Kong.
The society can speak more effectively than the police. Countless people who have committed serious crimes have hid in Kowloon City in order to escape the pursuit of the police.
The main reason why Le Ge rose to prominence in the police force back then was because he married the daughter of Bai Fanyu, who was a big moneymaker in Kowloon City. He was not only rich but also a big shot in Kowloon City.
With his father-in-law as his backer, Le Ge was able to enter Kowloon City to capture fugitives and do what others couldn't do. As a result, he was favored by the superiors and promoted to detective.
For Gui Lao, Kowloon City doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't hinder them from making money, they don't care about the quality of public security.
Lei Weidong still has the mainland. It is impossible to leave this cancer alone. He has long wanted to remove Kowloon City, but he has not taken action due to coordination reasons.
This time is the best way to eradicate Kowloon City at the minimum cost. Otherwise, when everything returns to normal, it will be very expensive to eradicate Kowloon City. Just arranging the residence of Kowloon residents can make Lei Wei Dong has a headache.
And now eradicate.
Although it is necessary to arrange accommodation for the residents inside so that they have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, the number of people will be much smaller. At least a quarter of the residents of Kowloon City will not be accommodated. They can just be shot or sent to prison.
"How is the plan to change cars from left to right? How much time will it take to implement it?" After dealing with the difficulties encountered in Operation Thunder, Lei Weidong asked again about the road change plan.
The road traffic system is the most basic principle in road traffic rules. Without principles, random actions on the road will inevitably lead to traffic chaos, disorder, and even collisions and car accidents.
As for whether people and cars drive on the right or left on the road, it depends on the country you are in. There are two driving modes in the world, including Eagle Country, Ribi, White Elephant, Baba Sheep and other countries. It drives on the left, while countries in continental Europe, the Mainland, and the United States drive on the right. The reason why there are two opposing driving modes is a long story.
In ancient times, when there were no cars, driving on the left was the mainstream in the world.
This is because there are more right-handers, and people generally use their left foot to mount the stirrup first, and then their right foot to mount the horse when riding a horse. Therefore, it is safer to mount the horse on the left side of the road.
On the battlefield, knights are accustomed to wearing their swords on the left side so that their right hand can draw the sword at any time.
If another warrior comes towards you and walks on the right side, the handles of the swords will easily hit each other when they meet, and it will be mistaken for a provocation. Therefore, in the early days, most Asian and European countries followed the left-hand rule.
But in the 18th century, things changed, and the birthplace of this change was the Gallic chicken in Europe.
At that time, because farmers often had to drive carriages to haul grain, in order to hit all the horses with the whip in their right hand, the coachmen used to sit on the left side, so they would drive on the right side, so that they could observe the two carriages and avoid them when meeting each other. collision.
In 1789, the Great Revolution broke out in Gallic Chicken. The people at the bottom rose up against the aristocratic rule. They believed that walking on the left was the privilege of the nobles, while walking on the right had revolutionary significance. So Gallic Chicken began to implement the rule of walking on the right.
After Napoleon came to power in 1804, he launched a war to conquer Europe and brought the right-driving rule to other European countries. Since then, many European countries have started to move on the right.
At that time, because Lao Mei had a good relationship with Gaul Chicken, and because he had just escaped from the control of the Eagle Country, Lao Mei also began to imitate Gaul Chicken and changed the road traffic from the left to the right.
However, at that time, the Eagle Country was an empire on which the sun never set, with colonies spread all over the world. Even though Lao America and Gallic Chicken were the main promoters, the world environment was still dominated by leftists. However, the automobile industry revolution started from Lao America.
Since it started in the United States, the cars produced naturally had to drive on the left, so a large number of left-hand cars were produced and exported to meet the needs of the people in the country.
As a result, left-hand drive cars are all over the world. Many countries that originally drove on the left had to change from left-hand drive to right-hand drive because there were too many left-hand drive cars on the road. Mainland China is the most typical example.
At the earliest time,
In the mainland, it is not fixed whether cars drive on the left or on the right. In southern provinces such as Shanghai and Zhejiang Province, cars generally drive on the left due to the greater influence of the Yingguo people.
Northern provinces such as Shandong Province and Zhili Province are greatly influenced by the old and the United States, and they implement the right-hand movement.
Later, in the 1930s, with the rise of the New Life Movement, the number of cars began to increase, and most of these cars were Yingguo cars and Japanese cars. The cars in these two countries were all right-hand drive. For the sake of road safety, the National Government in 1934 The following uniformly stipulates that vehicles must drive on the left.
In addition, the Northeast was occupied by the Japanese at that time, and the left-hand rule was also implemented, and the left-hand rule was unified nationwide.
However, 12 years later, something has changed.
During World War II, the United States and Mao Xiong were allies of the country. They sent a large number of military vehicles to the country to assist in combat operations. These vehicles were all left-hand drive. After the war, these vehicles stayed in the country.
Because there were too many, far more than right-hand drive vehicles, for the sake of safety, the country had to make changes and stipulated that all vehicles drive on the right starting from January 1, 1946, and it has been retained ever since.
However, driving in the mainland is on the right side. Because Xiangjiang is a colony of the Eagle Country, even though the two places are only separated by a river, the new patterns of the two places are opposite, with one driving to the left and the other to the right.
In real time and space!
After the return of Hong Kong in 1997, the mainland and Hong Kong also adopted the "one country, two systems" solution to road traffic problems.
Mainland vehicles entering Hong Kong must follow Hong Kong's left-hand rule. On the contrary, when vehicles from Xiangjiang enter the mainland, they also have to follow the local customs.
As a result, drivers in both places will feel uncomfortable after being in a different place. Therefore, drivers in the two places drive very slowly when they change places, unless a long period of driving in different places completely changes this habit.
As a result, the transportation between the mainland and Xiangjiang is incompatible, creating a huge obstacle to Xiangjiang's integration into the mainland.
Lei Weidong has no choice in the real world, but in the Hong Kong comprehensive world.
In order to allow Xiangjiang to have better development in the future!
As a powerful figure in Xiangjiang, Lei Weidong took advantage of the rare opportunity of military control to reform the traffic rules in Xiangjiang, forcing vehicles to drive from the left to the right.
As for the consequences of forcibly changing road rules.
Lei Weidong is not worried. At most, there will be a little car accident, and the impact will not be great. There are real examples of this.
Sweden!
Before September 3, 1967, this powerful country in Northern Europe adopted the traffic rules of Eagle Country, which means driving on the left.
but!
Unlike Sweden, other European countries, including Mao Xiong, adopt the right-hand approach.
That's causing problems.
That is, Swedes have no problem driving in their own country, but not if they go abroad. The opposite traffic rules will cause great safety risks.
It was okay at first. There was little communication between countries, and even fewer people drove private cars abroad.
But with economic development, especially after the establishment of the European Union, European countries have become a federation. People from different countries have less trouble when communicating across borders. They can drive from one country to another without bringing anything.
Here comes a problem.
People from other EU countries have no problem driving abroad because everyone's traffic rules are the same, but this is not the case in Sweden. When Swedes drive private cars to neighboring countries, it will be very difficult for Swedes to use left-hand drive and drive left when entering the right-hand road system. Not adaptable.
It is easy to cause accidents due to contrary traffic rules, which creates huge restrictions on vehicle travel in Sweden.
In addition, cars are one of Sweden's main export commodities. Because of the problem of traffic rules, it has a great impact on the production of left-hand drive vehicles by Swedish companies. Therefore, in order to completely solve this problem, the Swedish Parliament decided to amend the traffic rules and conduct a meeting on this issue. a referendum.
However, the results of the vote were not ideal. Many people voted against changing the road rules from driving on the left to driving on the right because the change was too complicated.
In the end, 82.9% of people opposed changing the rules, only 15.5% supported it, and the rest abstained.
Public opposition cannot change the government's determination, because the government believes that with the development of the economy, there will be more and more vehicles for international exchanges, and the number will double every ten years.
Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain!
The later the reform was carried out, the more troubles would arise. Therefore, despite the opposition of the people across the country, the government passed the bill and changed the Swedish road system to left-hand drive and right-hand driving on September 3, 1967.
Of course, this change is not just a change. Changes in hardware matching are the first step in the plan.
The government spends money to replace all public vehicles first, such as changing the doors of the vehicles to the right side, then installing new traffic lights, installing new road signs and indicators, and even shining street lights on the right side of the road. Brighten and so on.
In addition, the Swedish government also vigorously promotes and financially supports any H-Day promotional images.
Before the official implementation date, in addition to distributing more than 12 million leaflets to the public, the government also erected H-Day symbols on the roadside to enhance people's and drivers' preparation and awareness of H-Day.
On September 3, 1967, the changes officially began. The Swedish government banned all non-essential vehicles from driving on the road from 1 to 6 a.m., and vehicles that were allowed to drive on the road had to come to a complete stop after 4:30. Switch from driving on the left to driving on the right.
On this day, the global media focused on Swedish roads.
Swedish drivers experienced the "most memorable traffic jam" of their lives as everyone squirmed cautiously on the road.
Although many traffic accidents occurred in the days after September 3 and some people were injured, fortunately, no accidents resulted in death. This made the reporters waiting on the road waiting to see something big happen more or less disappointed.
It was not until three years later that the accident rate returned to its previous level.
This huge plan cost Sweden a lot of manpower and material resources, involving more than 8,000 officials, more than 150,000 volunteers and a cost of nearly 40 million Swedish kronor, but the results are gratifying.
In the days that followed, Sweden's exchanges with neighboring countries became rapid, and Sweden integrated into the EU family in a short period of time.
