Chapter 204: Violent Confrontation
An hour later......
"Gentlemen, according to the results of the vote, 147 people are in favor of the demolition, 64 are against, and 8 abstain from voting, and I hereby announce that the demolition plan of the Kowloon Walled City has been approved."
In fact, this is not the first time that the Kowloon Walled City demolition proposal has been passed, and it has been passed twice before, but each time the demolition problem has been a tiger's tail, and the people in the Kowloon Walled City have violently confronted, and tens of thousands of people have been dispatched to confront the police at one time, and the police have been helpless in the face of this situation.
So, don't look at the 147 people who supported the proposal this time, but those who voted in favor did not necessarily think that this time it would be successful, and those who voted against did not necessarily want to demolish the Kowloon Walled City.
It's too complicated, the Kowloon Walled City has always been a big historical problem, even if it stands in the center of Hong Kong, even if it is a cancer, even if it houses all kinds of criminals from different countries, even if there are countless evils brewing in it......
If you can't dismantle it, you can't dismantle it, there's no good way!
At the end of this council, the relevant issues in the meeting immediately spread slowly, secrecy or something, there is no such thing!
The Kowloon Walled City Committee was immediately notified that there were already their people in the council.
When the meeting over there ended, the meeting started right away.
The twelve bigwigs divided into two factions and quarreled on the spot.
A faction led by Uncle Bai, "I mean, you can still cooperate with the government, the demolition here is a matter of time, and now you can negotiate with each other, and it is better to ask for some benefits than to be forced to demolish it in the future." ”
"Benefits, how many benefits can there be? Now how much profit can be provided by the walled city every day, you don't know? No matter how big the benefits can be more than now!? ”
"That's it, and besides, who can guarantee that the British government in Hong Kong will count, and then after the handover? What should they do if they turn over their accounts? ”
"Hmph, I just believe a dog, and I won't believe those Englishmen!"
Uncle Bai frowned, there were too many objections, and there were only two people who were willing to maintain the same point of view with him.
Seeing that most people supported his point of view, Ghost Hand Liang smiled and touched the fat on his head, "If you can delay it for one more day, everyone knows that this thing won't last long, but without this Kowloon Walled City, where will everyone go to make money?" Now the money out there is getting harder and harder to make! ”
"Even if it has to be demolished in the end, I would rather negotiate with the other side of the sea, at least the people will be in charge of things in the future, and what I say will be continuous."
"That's it, Lao Liang is right, I don't believe it, how can it be forced on the other side of the sea, this is a major livelihood event for tens of thousands of people, and it is about to make a big fuss, it is international news, and the other side will agree to give some benefits!"
Uncle Bai really doesn't know where these people got the courage to talk to the other side of the sea?
It's so whimsical!
Who are the people who met with the other side of the strait on the Hong Kong issue...... Iron Lady, there are ten major families in Hong Kong, where do these guys who only know how to fight and kill come from, and can they compare with these real tycoons?
As far as Uncle Bai himself knows, the opposite side has never compromised when solving internal problems, and the other side is not capitalism!
Why has I never heard of the bandits on the other side taking hostages, asking for money, cars, and planes?
Just because the only result of your hostage-taking is to increase the crime, the police will never compromise with the criminals in any way, even if the hostage's status is high, just do your best to protect the hostage's safety.
The two sides argued for an hour, but Uncle Bai couldn't convince the other party, twelve people voted, and only three people were willing to support the demolition, including Uncle Bai, and the others either continued to wait and see or supported violent resistance.
In the end, the minority obeys the majority, and Uncle Bai can only obey, no matter what, the committee is a whole.
……
The government has carried out a comprehensive publicity campaign on this resolution, including the historical causes of the Kowloon Walled City, the current cancerous nature, the unchanged impact on the lives of Hong Kong citizens, and the resettlement of people in the Kowloon Walled City, etc., all of which have been reported in detail in the hope that it will be recognized by all sectors of society.
It's just that there is only a rental policy for the resettlement houses of walled residents, and there is no detailed plan for the rest of the work, real estate, etc.
It's not that Hong Kong and Britain don't want to act, but in terms of livelihood arrangements, the government can't do anything, and it still depends on personal ability.
This alone was exploited by the committee to successfully stir up the anger of everyone in the propaganda within the walled city.
Even though the Kowloon Walled City has all kinds of bad, evil and illegal industries, at least he supports the livelihood of tens of thousands of people here.
The Kowloon Walled City had more than 50,000 residents before it was demolished; Based on the estimated area of 0.026 square kilometers, the population density of the walled city is 1.9 million people per square kilometer, which is the most densely populated place in the world.
After a week of public opinion, Hong Kong citizens were very supportive of the demolition of the site, but government officials could not enter the Kowloon Walled City at all, and violent confrontation was imminent.
To this end, the police gathered more than 3,000 officers at one time to enforce the demolition plan and maintain law and order at the scene, but they were surrounded by more than 10,000 people who agitated on the outskirts of the Kowloon Walled City.
For a while, wine bottles, bricks and tiles were thrown all over the place.
"We want to survive!"
"Defend your homeland!"
"Get rid of them!"
"Rush!"
Under the onslaught of more than 10,000 people, more than 3,000 police officers retreated, and even though the police personnel were armed with a variety of weapons, including electric batons, explosion-proof shields, guns and a series of equipment, none of them dared to use them against the poor.
Even the director of the scene commander didn't really order the police to fight back!
It's not that you can't, it's that you can't beat it, or you don't dare.
In foreign countries, every time such a conflict occurs, the police are the one who suffers, and it is good to be forced to retreat step by step, and it is not uncommon for people to be injured.
In 8102, the Gallic chickens were burned by the rioting townspeople.
Without going through a single socialist transformation, this is an unsolvable problem.
A large number of reporters from all over the world followed and reported on the scene, including all of Wang Xuan's newspapers, and Asia Television simply carried out live reports, and a farcical riot was staged in front of the whole world.
Fortunately, the event was organized by the committee, and thousands of men had already been informed of the direction and boundaries of the movement, and the crowd calmed down one after another after daring the police to go a kilometer away.
Of course, it doesn't work if you don't stop, Wang Xuan's security guards are blocking in front, and anyone who dares to rush over the head with an electric baton knocks it down, and there is no intention of leaving his hands at all, and hundreds of people fell in an instant.
The senior police officials collectively breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, they had already thought of this situation, and the police received the news when they organized a revolt in the Kowloon Walled City.
But, what can be done, the local police don't dare to enter, besides, it's not the first time, everyone is used to it, as long as there aren't too many people injured.
In fact, the police bosses are also very conflicted, demolition is definitely a good thing, and there will be a lot fewer crimes.
The problem is, you can't do the work of being tied up!
