"This Chen Zhichao is really hitting the street!"
"No, he's revenge-hungry, too eager for quick success! Think that directly detaining Du Yongxiao in the Political Department can force him to obey? He didn't want to think about what Du Yongxiao was doing in the UK! β
Li Luo had a private conversation in Sir Bailiqu's study.
Sir Bailiqu bit his cigar and said: "The Political Department is subordinate to MI5, but Du Yongxiao was in MI6 when he was in the UK, whether it is 5 or 6 is a family, you say that the people of MI5 will agree to him move Du Yongxiao?" β
paused, "That's not all, but what are the black materials that Chen Zhichao is looking for?" Say that Du Yongxiao smuggled arms? Who doesn't know that Du Yongxiao is helping us Britain deal with obsolete weapons? Saying that Du Yongxiao dominates the British pharmaceutical market, the problem is that Britain is a capitalist society, a market economy, and the competition in this area is impeccable! β
Lilov also shook his head and said, "He is indeed too impatient!" Now it's a surprise -ββ what do we do next? β
Bailiqu smiled and looked back at Li Luo, "You tell me, why can our British Empire govern Hong Kong for so many years?" β
"Uh, this -ββ"
"It's because of public opinion! We controlled public opinion very well. Bailiqu said, "The ears of the people are very soft, and they will believe whatever you say." Exploiting public opinion is what we are best at in the UK, and this time too! β
"Sir, you meanβ"
"Du Yongxiao, why did he come back? Aren't you trying to save the people of Lei Luo? You Chinese are so affectionate, but in my opinion, a ship is about to sink, so there is no need to catch a few more to send to death! Of course, if Du Yongxiao wants to die, I will never stop him! β
"Then we -ββ"
"broke the news, the former chief superintendent Godber did not resign voluntarily because he was unwell, but because of corruption and bribery!"
"Huh?"
Lilov was stunned.
This is a huge thunderbolt, if it explodes-ββ
World shaking!
β¦β¦
"Former Chief Superintendent Godber fled to the UK on suspicion of corruption!"
"Godber's corruption evidence has been discovered, and the evidence is conclusive!"
Day 2-ββ
Hong Kong, which was originally pouring rain, once again thundered.
Who would have thought that the former Chief Superintendent Godber, who had voluntarily resigned and returned home to recuperate, would be a big embezzler!
Moreover, the Chinese "Tiger" also directly published specific evidence of Godber's bribery, showing that Godber had anonymously hidden 4 million Hong Kong dollars in HSBC in Hong Kong.
The Chief Superintendent, who earns more than 3,000 a month, can have an income of 4 million, which directly sends Godber to hell.
The pent-up anger of the Hong Kong people for many years was also completely detonated by this news.
They have long been accustomed to corruption in the police force, but who would have thought that these officials could be corrupt to such an extent.
What is the number of four million?
At present, the average Hong Kong person's annual income is less than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and it takes 400 years to save enough for 4 million.
As the anger of the Hong Kong people erupted, influential people from all walks of life took the initiative to stand up and jointly put pressure on the British government in Hong Kong, with only one purpose: "Ask the government to strictly investigate corruption in the police force!" β
At the same time, those powerless people also came down to the government building en masse, held up billboards and banners, and began to sit-in petitions.
At this moment, the major media in Hong Kong also began to fan the flames, constantly digging up the Hong Kong Police Force's collusion with associations, preying on the black material of the public, and even publishing various intimate "stories" of the "four major detectives" and the "four major associations" in a grand manner.
For a time, the whole Hong Kong Island was in turmoil.
β¦β¦
July 19, 1972.
Outside the Governor's House,
Collective petition site -
"Our request is simple, just to ask for an explanation! Why does the police force turn a blind eye to the four major associations that endanger citizens? Why can powder stalls, word flower stalls, and gambling stalls survive in Hong Kong's underground society? β
"We're not deliberately targeting anyone! We just want to know the truth! β
"Lei Luo, Yan Xiong, how did the four major detectives collude with the four major societies? It is said that Lei Luo and the lame man are still brothers and sisters in private - we want to know, are their brothers colluding with the police and bandits, or are they really like a family? β
In the face of on-site reporters, the petitioners opened their mouths to express their demands.
"So what can we do for you as a media now?"
"We need your media support!"
"Yes, we demand that all the assets of the four detectives, as well as high-ranking police officers, be made public! And let them tell the source of the property! β
When the reporter heard this, he turned to face the camera: "Do you hear it, this is the people's demand!" If you see it or not, this is the anger of the people! If the anger continues, there will be no peace on Hong Kong Island! β
As the media continued to fan the flames, Hong Kong Island citizens gathered under the guidance of well-meaning people, shouted slogans and began to demonstrate, and finally staged a sit-in petition at the Hong Kong Governor's House.
In just three days, more than 3,000 people blocked the entrance of the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, and the number is still increasing.
Some of them carried tent food, some simply sat on the ground, drank water and ate bread, and tried to petition and fight.
Governor's -ββ
Hong Kong Governor MacLehose put his hands behind his back and looked out at the people who were sit-in and petitioning with a wistful expression.
The secretary of the Hong Kong government stepped forward and said, "There are four or five hundred more people than yesterday!" If it continues like this, it will soon break 5,000! β
"Five thousand people petitioning? There are only a few people in Hong Kong, and it is not easy to break 5,000, and it seems that the people are very angry this time! "It looks like we'll have to give them an explanation this time." β
"So what do you meanβ"
"You go to the secretary's office to start the draft, I'm going to hold a press conference, and I'm going to pick out ten nominal representatives from the petition team. Tell them that I will listen to them with an open mind and that I will react relevantly. β
"Understood!"
The secretary was given the order to go down.
They are very familiar with this kind of political trick.
After the secretary went down, the Governor MacLehose immediately called Sir Pak Mi Qu, who was in charge of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Bailiqu had been waiting for this phone call for a long time, as the "initiator" of this demonstration and the Hong Kong government's sit-in petition, and he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Sir Bailiqu, there may be something to trouble you next!" Although MacLehose knew that this old fox was behind this, he had to say politely at this moment.
"I give you and the ICAC the utmost powers! Yes, you heard it right, it's the greatest power! And what you have to do is to catch those black sheep of the police force, and it is best to find a few representative ones, and punish them severely! You know, this is the only way to calm the anger of the people. β
"Yes! Lord Governor! Butβ" Bailiqu smiled slightly on the other side of the phone, "If the rank is very high, such as the chief superintendent or something-ββ"
MacLehose frowned and hesitated: "It's right!" β
