"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 in Hong Kong and the police force were not good. During the period of police integrity conflicts, the Hong Kong Island Police Force had a turbulent social environment."
"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 handled, 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 his language on small aspects.
"So, at that time, the Chinese in Hong Kong were backed by threats from the mainland, so they could walk to the bottom of Tin Ping Mountain with guns and flock to the gate of the Hong Kong Governor's House."
"But now! It is impossible for the Chinese in Hong Kong, whether it is the police force or other business and political circles, 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 Melis 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 can't hide at all, and they have no need to hide now. All departments know that the return is coming, and they don't 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, nodded and said, "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 to investigate 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 investigation files of these sixteen Chinese officials have solid evidence. Some of them were corrupted together with the ghosts back then, and the previous anti-corruption commissioners did not take action against them.
Some of them were involved in other cases investigated in the past two or three years. 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 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, the power of more than 100 people was eradicated if they should be suspended or fired!"
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 some Chinese will be surprised 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 is strategic, tactical, and immediate.
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 was his personal revenge to vent his anger! A way to restore prestige and face!
"Bang!" At this time, Melis 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!" Melis said with a loud voice and a firm tone.
"Thank you, sir!" Henry responded softly.
Afterwards, Henry turned 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 the situation be expanded?"
“In addition to learning Chinese on Hong Kong Island, I also learned another thing.”
"Chinese spirit - if you want to do something, you have to do something big!" Miles said vigorously with 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.
All hopes of granting him 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, the failure to obtain a hereditary baronet would cost his family 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 still means being rich for generations, but in a different way.
Melis doesn't want to lose this opportunity, so 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 succeeds, the conservatives will not only have to keep their mouths shut, but the interests previously held by the Chinese business community supported by the police can also be slowly regained piece by piece.
Both the British royal family and British capital 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.
A week later.
The weather is calm and sunny.
General Administration.
Office of the Deputy Chief of Operations.
"Sir 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.
Turning it over and over again, as if looking up 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 a complete chain of evidence tied to Norman." The CCB chief continued.
Now that Norman has died, the relevant criminal evidence is naturally left to the police to fabricate, or "investigate".
"Sir, do you need it?"
The person in charge of CCB asked for instructions.
"Sir Zhuang, there are no criminal investigations. The ICAC has not even used police calls to extract confessions. The most they can do is turn on the air conditioner, deny lunch boxes, use cat poop coffee, and detain people for 24 hours..."
"These methods have no effect if exposed. They are just reasonable law enforcement that violates the rules."
"And Henry personally has no trace of illegal operations."
Li Shutang preached in a deep voice.
Compared with the police force, these methods are extremely gentle. One of them is that they have no effect when exposed. Maybe if you compare them with the police force, fuck your mother, but it will show ICAC's fairness, justice, openness, and make waves for the other party. publicity.
This is the stupidest way!
Cai Yuanqi said in a deep voice: "The customs recently investigated a smuggling case, and the smuggled cigarettes were imported cigarettes. As far as I know, the smuggler under investigation is a ghost businessman named Byron..."
"No." Zhuang Shikai frowned and suddenly closed the folder in his hand. He felt a little uneasy and said, "The evidence chain is too rough. You can't use such a rough method to deal with Henry."
This does not mean that "in-depth investigation" cannot be used on Henry, but it must be combined with other clues to achieve the effect of nine truths and one falsehood.
This can only work for an official of Henry's level.
We also have to cooperate with the general trend of the police force and suppress public opinion.
The chain of evidence in front of me is only one true and nine false. How to use this TM?
...
ICAC.
Integrity Building.
"I called you here today because I have a temporary task for you."
Office area on the sixth floor.
More than 110 young ICAC investigators, dressed in suits, stood at attention with full vigor and serious expressions.
Ten investigation directors, five senior investigation directors, and the chief investigation director "Chen Jingci" were all standing in the office area, leading their team members to listen to the instructions and orders of the anti-corruption commissioner.
