Chapter 54: Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement and Suppression (1)
Noon.
Fang Ansheng walked out of the Police Museum, and the bright yellow sunlight rolled down from the sky, straight into his eyes.
Subconsciously squinting his eyes, Fang Ansheng covered his brow with his right hand and walked towards the parking lot.
Opening the door of the Toyota Camry, a wave of heat swept out.
Shaking his head helplessly, Fang Ansheng quickly started the car to turn on the air conditioner, then closed the car door, returned to the shade of the tree at the edge of the parking lot, and waited for the air conditioner in the car to take effect.
The Museum of the Royal Hong Kong Police is located in Victoria Peak, Hong Kong, about 4 kilometers away, three hills away, and is the Mid-Levels community where the Governor and Hong Kong's wealthy class like to live, where luxury houses are lined with celebrities.
Standing on the cliff on the outer edge of the car park, you can see the Peninsula Hotel, an iconic landmark on the Peak Road.
The white stone fence of the Peninsula Hotel has disappeared, the original emerald green turf has been turned over, four or five excavators are busy with faint green smoke, and a large pit more than 100 meters wide has taken shape, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the foundation of the building or anything else.
Seeing the green on the top of the mountain abruptly cut off at the Peninsula Hotel, turning into a large spot of earthy yellow, Fang Ansheng shook his head in disgust.
I really don't understand why Sir Hilda sold the property to the big circle boy from the north, those earthen buns from the mainland have just taken over and are building a large number of buildings, and it seems that Hong Kong, a historical place, is very likely to be in danger.
Raising his wrist and looking at the time, it was just a quarter of noon when the police force was still very rich during the lunch break, and found a raised bluestone in the shade of a tree, and Fang Ansheng sat down.
"The focus of the Force's political department this week is to thoroughly understand the forces behind the Hong Kong Island Daily. And find out who the chief commentator United Photon is!"
"I need a thorough investigation! I don't want to see this nonsense from the mainland forces in the report, if possible, you have to figure out for me what color underwear that United Photon is wearing, do you understand?"
Although the meeting had ended for twenty minutes, the roar of Deputy Commissioner Charlie of the Police Force still lingered in Fang Ansheng's ears.
Since the end of August, an undercurrent has surged from Hong Kong's media circles, and the "Hong Kong Island Daily," which had risen strongly on sharp editorials some time ago, did not know what medicine it had taken wrongly, and suddenly turned its spearhead and directed the firepower of criticism at the British government in Hong Kong.
At first, the British government in Hong Kong did not care, although the current Sino-foreign relations are not as acute as they were in the 70s. However, it is also very normal for Chinese-funded newspapers to criticize the British government in Hong Kong.
The chief commentator of the Island Daily, United Photon, after introducing the origins, causes and development of the modern democratic movement. After disappearing for a few days, he began to publish a series of articles on August 20, such as "Hong Kong - Asia's Beacon of Democracy" and "Freedom - Start with Me", calling on Hong Kong citizens to take to the streets to fight for their rights.
So far. The wind of Hong Kong's support for the mainland's pro-democracy movement has shifted on the spot.
Under the emergency mobilization of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions. In the "Hong Kong Island Daily" published "Freedom. The next day from me, to dockers, craftsmen. The procession, mainly composed of small traders and grassroots employees of major enterprises, crossed the side gate of the Governor's Mansion on Lower Albert Road, the usual end of the rally, and directly occupied the main entrance of the Governor's House.
As a branch of the British MI5 in Hong Kong, the political department of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force has been paying attention to the unusualness of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions and joining the march in support of the mainland democracy movement.
However, due to the sudden change of events without warning, the next day, the high-level of the political department reacted that the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions had decided to stay at the main gate of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion and submit to the Hong Kong Governor day and night a proposal to promote the direct election of the people in Hong Kong and completely return the government to the people.
This time, the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions has learned the lessons of the violent protests more than 10 years ago, and has stated in advance that it will adopt an attitude of peaceful petitions to put an end to violent protests, and has also prepared several camping tents to invite reporters from the "Hong Kong Island Daily", "Ming Pao", "Oriental Weekly" and other media to be present at the scene to report in a timely manner the dynamics of the organizers of the petition activities and the reply of the British government in Hong Kong.
At this time, the sales volume of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" ranked among the top three in Hong Kong, and a large number of reporters were dispatched to this sudden incident as soon as possible, and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions also sent the political reform framework proposed by the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions to the whole people in the form of a supplement, and sent a large number of reporters to conduct large-scale interviews with people from all walks of life and various identities on this plan, asking for their views on this political reform document.
It only took two days for the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions to suddenly unfold this incident, which became known to everyone in Hong Kong, and for a time the Hong Kong people really governed Hong Kong and returned government to the citizens became the hottest topic in Hong Kong under the instigation of the "Hong Kong Island Daily."
The Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions' political reform document was written by Liang Yuan, who completely expressed the praise and longing of a certain type of well-known people in later generations for foreign political systems.
For example, free medical care, free education, cheap housing, low taxes, all Hong Kong jobs are filled by Hong Kong natives, citizens can visit the official residence of the chief executive at any time, the people are guaranteed freedom of speech, free political parties, people are allowed to carry guns to resist tyranny, and so on.
At the heart of this plan is the creation of a high-welfare society with no responsibility and a great deal of freedom.
The only thing Liang Yuan did not explain was what the source of funding for running such a government depended on.
At that time, Ning Wanfei was very interested after reading the first draft that Liang Yuan had made, and asked Liang Yuanwen curiously if the things on Jiàn could be realized, but Liang Yuan was a bachelor, and drew an ice cream-like thing on the paper, handed it to Ning Wanfei and said with a smile to eat it.
Ever since the mainland entered the democracy movement, under the fatigue bombardment of various media, Hong Kong society has become familiar with the whole concept of democracy, and the so-called lie told a thousand times is the truth.
Although the sudden action of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions caught the British colonial government of Hong Kong off guard, as a veteran colonialist, he had never seen any strong winds and waves, and the next day, the Hong Kong Governor's Office sent people to receive the petitioning representatives in the side hall and demanded that the Federation of Trade Unions evacuate the main entrance of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, otherwise the government would send a police force to clear the scene on the grounds of obstructing official business.
The Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions did not insist on this, and after the first formal communication, the marching crowd left the main entrance of the Hong Kong Governor's House.
However, after the evacuation, the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions immediately issued a statement, claiming that before the British colonial government in Hong Kong promised to fully implement the conditions of the constitutional reform, the Federation of Trade Unions would completely occupy part of the Central area, urging the British colonial government in Hong Kong to face up to the demands and voices of all Hong Kong citizens.
Of course, the so-called partial occupation is actually the occupation of the property under the name of Jardine Matheson, which completely paralyzed the normal operation of Hongkong Land. (To be continued......)
