Chapter 818: Influence in Xiangjiang (Part II)

"On behalf of the country and the people, thank you, Mr. Xiao Xu, for your understanding of righteousness!"

For this kind of fake big empty hat, Xu Cun has always listened to the left ear and the right ear - or that word, Xu Cun will not believe any words of any politician, even if it is a politician on his own side, rather than listening to what they say, Xu Cun is more willing to see what they do.

In addition, it is emphasized that the reason why Xu Cun is willing to help China recover Xiangjiang is because, as a Chinese, Xu Cun is willing to see and hope to see China implement reunification - that's all.

In other words, Lao Tzu is happy, Lao Tzu is willing, Lao Tzu is rich and capricious!

Regarding Xu Cun's character, Ji Pengfei, who has dealt with Xu Cun for nearly ten years, knows a little better.

Seeing the faint impatience in Xu Cun's eyebrows, Ji Pengfei immediately gave Lu Ping a look, signaling Lu Ping to stop and get down to business.

After Ji Pengfei's signal, Lu Ping also vaguely understood Xu Cun's straightforward fucking character, so he put away the previous bureaucratic set and said directly: "After the last domestic political turmoil, Britain seems to have some regret about the joint statement on the Xiangjiang issue officially signed in December 1984, and the British side sent us a letter saying that it is ready to reconsider the arrangements for the direct election in Xiangjiang, and at the same time asks us to postpone the promulgation of the Basic Law. In his talks with President Jiang, Collida, who visited the British side not long ago, said that if the two sides can reach an understanding on the Basic Law and the issue of the direct election of the Hong Kong People's Government, the door to restoring good relations between the two countries will be open. This is clearly a precondition for the restoration of bilateral relations on the issue of the Hong Kong election. At the end of last year, after the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the people in power in Britain held that Britain had made too many concessions and suffered losses in the agreement on the Hong Kong issue signed with us, and wanted to take the opportunity to 'overturn the case'. In order to smoothly transition to this last critical period of Hong Kong's return, President Jiang made it clear that we will not accept the British side's proposal, but there is still a possibility that the draft will be revised, and the two sides can further discuss to ensure that the door is not completely closed. Now that the two sides are at loggerheads over the number of seats in the direct election, the central government hopes that Mr. Xiao Xu will come forward to help our side and push the number of seats in the direct election to less than 18 seats, the less the better, and it would be best if it could be set at the 10 seats we set with the British side at the beginning. ”

Xu Cun didn't understand: "Why are you so excited about the people for a few more or fewer directly elected seats?" ”

Lu Ping explained: "In fact, what we are fighting with the British side is not just the number of directly elected seats, but the dominant political system after the return of Hong Kong. During the more than 100 years of colonial rule in Hong Kong, Britain has always adopted a political system in which the governor appointed by London has sole power, and the governor has two executive and legislative bureaux, as advisory bodies, and the members are appointed by the governor of Hong Kong, which is an executive-led system. After the signing of the Joint Declaration, we began to formulate the Basic Law of the future Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and design a new political system that can embody the "one country, two systems". The British side is trying to take advantage of the period of transition in Hong Kong to step up the so-called "representative government reform" in an attempt to create a fait accompli before the promulgation of the Basic Law, so as to affect the Basic Law's arrangements for the future political system. To put it bluntly, the goal of the "representative government reform" is to change the executive-led to the legislature-led, to restrain the executive by improving the power and status of the legislature, and to eventually turn the returned to China into an "independent entity" that isolates the motherland and forms a state within a state, so as to safeguard the political and economic interests of Britain in Xiangjiang for a long time. ”

After a pause, Lu Ping said: "In terms of the selection of legislators, our basic principle is that legislators must uphold the Basic Law and be willing to be loyal to the regulations formulated by the SAR government. What worries us most is that the legislators are unwilling to pledge allegiance to the SAR government, do not support the Basic Law, and even oppose the Basic Law and oppose one country, two systems. Mr. Bai Teng, who was driven away by Mr. Xiao Xu just now, had already come to Hong Kong and privately met with the Director General of the Trade Department and Chief Trade Negotiator Tsang Yin Kuen, Hong Kong businessman Li Ka-shing, and other people who have a decisive position in Hong Kong. If we expand the number of seats and include these directly elected members, then we risk losing the power to dominate the political system, and we will not be able to truly unify China. ”

Xu Cun pressed his temple and thought for a while before he said: "It is inconvenient for me to directly come out and put pressure on the UK to lower the number of seats in the direct election, after all, I still have a lot of business ...... in the UK."

Hearing Xu Cun's direct shirk, a trace of disappointment immediately appeared in Lu Ping's heart, and said secretly: "Could it be that Xu Cun is a villain with different hearts......

Fortunately,

Lu Ping is also a senior politician and does not show what he thinks.

Otherwise, Lu Ping will definitely regret it!

Because, Xu Cun quickly said: "However, no matter who is elected as a directly elected councilor, I can help you win five more parliamentarians who are loyal to the country." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Cun looked at Lu Ping and asked, "Can this solve the problem you encountered?" ”

As soon as he heard Xu Cun's words, Lu Ping's old face was suddenly happy!

If according to what Xu Cun said, then the parliament of Xiangjiang must be decided by the mainland, and then the mainland will dominate the political system of Xiangjiang!

Yes, directly elected Members are appointed by the Governor of Hong Kong.

However, this does not mean that these directly elected legislators will listen to the governor of Hong Kong, after all, Britain is bound to have a general trend in Hong Kong, and there are still many people who are aware of current affairs, and there are really a few real patriots among them.

In addition, by using some extraordinary means, the mainland can also win over a few directly elected legislators.

Of course, there are not many directly elected legislators who are sure to influence the mainland, otherwise the mainland would not want to lower the number of seats to win.

But-

No matter how small the number is, there are always seven or eight seats.

On this basis, plus Xu Cun's five seats, then the mainland can be said to be a sure winner in the parliament -- you know, there must be a few neutral parliamentarians among them, and if these few are removed, what storm can the British side stir?

At the same time, Lu Ping finally knew the strength of Xu in Xiangjiang - those parliamentarians who could not be won by the mainland had no choice but to designate the word "patriotic". Moreover, when Xu Zheng didn't know who they were, he dared to make at least five parliamentarians elected by the British side "patriotic"! It can be seen from this that Xu exists in Xiangjiang's influence how terrifying!

From the moment on, Lu Ping's respect for Xu Cun also rose to the height of Ji Pengfei......
