History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 296 Change of Power
"Mai sir, He sir, Jian sir!" Yifu was sweating profusely, and shouted in a hurried tone: "Can you point guns at each other in the police station, can you break into the Hong Kong government and point guns at the governor! If this continues, no one will be able to walk out of the conference room!"

"On Hong Kong Island, what the police family said doesn't count. Report the situation on the scene to the governor, and let the governor make the final decision!"

Mai Jingtao, Jian Baoning and He Dingxian did not answer.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Jian Baoning's mouth, his finger was on the trigger, and he was exerting light force.He Dingxian took out a handful of cigarettes in his pocket, still holding the gun with one hand, but lifted the cigarette case with a relaxed expression, and put a cigarette in his mouth: "Light it up for me."

Yifu brought a lighter and stepped forward to light it for Sir He.Mai Jingtao said: "Let the governor impeach me? Yifu, do you have enough votes!"

"Mai sir" Yifu looked at Mai Jingtao, with despair in his expression, he couldn't believe it: "At this time, you still want to fight with me? Now it's only for the whole police force, not for the safety of the whole city. Fight until now, and continue to fight." Nobody benefits!"

He put away the lighter, pushed away several security officers, walked out of the office quickly, raised his hands and shouted: "Put the gun down, don't count! Five minutes, after five minutes, whatever you want to shoot, whatever you want!" you!"

"It doesn't matter if the police force is killing each other on the street, even if everyone present is turned off, but sirs, please give me a chance to call the governor!"

In the corridor, hundreds of police officers turned to him in unison.

"Let Sir He go!" A Chinese police officer shouted loudly, and said firmly: "There are still five seconds, if you don't let Sir He come out, we'll go in!"

"FUCK!" Yifu looked at the murderous Chinese police officer with a fearless face, and cursed angrily, "He sir is pointing a gun at the head of the police chief, you ask him, you go in and ask him, will he agree?" Willing to let go!"

"If you want Sir He to come out, first of all, you all lower your guns!"

It has to be said that it is very important to have a person who can break the deadlock and make a decision at this time. With his quick wit and courage, Sir Isuke shocked all the police officers present.The leading Chinese plainclothes thought for a while and lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, and the rest of the inspectors and security officers gradually lowered the muzzle of the gun.

"5 minutes, just 5 minutes!" Ifu reiterated, and returned to the conference room.At this time, only Mai, Jian, and He were left with guns in the audience, and he didn't talk nonsense, picked up the landline on the table, and dialed the governor's phone.

At this time, the governor was sitting on the leather chair in the office, flipping through the information of the Military Intelligence Department, looking at the rows of numbers above, frowning deeply.

"Sir, the police department is calling." The assistant opened the door and said aloud.

"Come in!" The governor put down the documents, the assistant nodded and turned around, closing the door, ding ding ding, one of the five phones on the desk rang, representing the internal organization of Hong Kong Island.

The governor picked up the phone and said immediately: "Mai sir, the situation in Central is far worse than what you said. I want to evacuate the citizens before five o'clock in the evening!"

Yifu turned on the amplifier of the phone, leaned over very nervously and said: "Sir, I am Yifu, the deputy director of management, and I am reporting to you on behalf of the police department!"

The governor's expression was slightly taken aback, obviously surprised, but he quickly recovered, and said in a solemn voice: "Say!"

Legally, the deputy director level will not have direct contact with the Hong Kong governor. Only the director is qualified to report to the governor. Now that the deputy director of management has made an exception to call, the water behind the police force may be very muddy.It's just that no matter how hard the governor thinks about it, he can't imagine that the chief of police is being pointed at the head with a gun.

"Sir, Chief of Police, in view of the illegal assembly in the Central area, Sir Mai and Sir Jian have different opinions. Sir Mai advocates following the example of Nanyang to resolutely suppress, and Sir Jian hopes to adopt softer law enforcement methods." Yifu said with great language art : "The two chiefs are having a meeting to negotiate, and the situation is a bit unpleasant, please give an order to the governor!"

As the post-war governor, Ge Hongliang has made remarkable achievements during his administration and has an extremely keen political sense. Combined with the information he has obtained, he realizes that behind Yifu's light words, there is an extremely dangerous and fierce power struggle in the police department.How violent?It is so violent that it cannot be contained without relying on the power of the governor.So violent that the Commissioner of Police has lost control of the action force, so violent that a coup d'état is taking place within the Police Force!This coup has also involved him, the governor, and is forcing the governor to make a choice.

Yes.

When Yifu called the governor's mansion and directly communicated with the governor over the director, it meant that Mai Jingtao had completely lost power and really lost!McIntosh was just riding a tiger, and had to pin his hopes on the governor's favor.

Mai Jingtao is Ge Hongliang's confidant, so it may not be impossible to insist on letting Mai Jingtao stay in the police force, but the Governor, as a qualified politician, knows that the safety of the city and his own political achievements cannot be risked.

Jian Baoning's military faction has already collapsed once, and it is not enough to cause trouble. Let the military faction come to power, and the orders of the Governor's Mansion can still be conveyed.

At this moment, the governor looked out of the window, a hydrogen balloon was floating in the sky, and on the balloon was hung a banner reading: "Remembering the Nanyang compatriots, the resignation of the ghost governor", he sighed inwardly, and asked, "Give the phone to Sir Jian! "

"Yes, sir!" Yifu answered with a slightly lonely expression, and gave up a seat after answering out loud.

Jian Baoning happened to be standing in front of the table, pointed the muzzle of the gun at Bu Li even more forcefully, and greeted: "Sir, I am Jian Baoning, deputy director of operations, good afternoon."

Mai Jingtao's expression showed horror, the hand holding the gun trembled constantly, and despair was already written in his eyes.

Ge Hongliang said: "Sir Jian, the operation in Central is entrusted to you, are you sure?"

"Yes!" Jian Baoning said aloud: "Before the governor leaves work, I will definitely clean up the situation on the street!"

"From now on, you will be in charge of the police department!" Ge Hongliang's voice was clear, calm and powerful, calm and composed.Jian Baoning forcefully pushed Buli onto the table, and shouted: "Yes, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Just as Jian Baoning was about to hang up the phone, Mai Jingtao went crazy and shouted: "Sir, the rally in Central was planned by Jian Baoning, He Dingxian and others. The police department cannot hand it over to Jian Baoning! According to my He raised the special level of Hong Kong Island to a state of emergency, mobilized the garrison to disperse the citizens on the street, and temporarily took over the police headquarters!"

"There is still a chance to use the garrison now, but there will be no chance to use the garrison in the future!"

After a while of silence, Ge Hongliang gave a crisp answer: "Start the impeachment process!"

"beep"

The governor hung up the phone.

Jian Baoning let go of the cloth he was holding, threw his hands on the ground, glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and then glanced at the crowd and said: "At 27:[-] p.m., Jian Baoning, the deputy director of operations, formally impeached the police department. Chief Mai Jingtao, who is against it?"

No one there answered.

Jian Baoning nodded in satisfaction, turned his head and looked at the muzzle of the gun that had been pointed at him, and said with a light smile: "Mai sir, now I am officially dismissing you as the acting police chief, please hand over your arms."

He suddenly changed his expression, looked at the muzzle of the gun and shouted: "I will let you hand over your weapon!"

Mai Jingtao was sweating profusely, holding a weapon, trembling all over.It seemed that he had just suggested to the governor to mobilize the garrison. He was decisive and cruel, but he was still a weak and incompetent politician at root.

If he really had the domineering spirit to go forward, he would have given up money interests in the early days and carried out brutal cleansing and suppression of the Chinese police force.It is far from allowing the Chinese power to develop so far. It is nothing more than wanting to break the pot when facing desperation.

However, if the garrison is mobilized, Hong Kong Island will enter a temporary state of military control in accordance with the law.Who will compensate for the governor's lost power and achievements?One bite at a time is irreparable, and in times of crisis, I don't see how much he served the country back then!
You must know that after the military control of the Hong Kong government is lifted, the current governor will most likely be dismissed.Because military control is another reshuffle of power, which involves the interests of the elders of the ancestral parliament.Mai Jingtao couldn't give up his personal interests back then, so why should he ask the Governor of Hong Kong to give up his personal interests and come to protect him now?You are the director, your life is expensive, but the governor's life is cheap?
Now Mai Jingtao didn't even have the courage to shoot, Jian Baoning leaned sideways, smashed his arm on the corner of the table, smashed his gun, kicked it away, and shouted loudly: "Grab it! "

When the security officers were at a loss, several CIDs rushed into the office, pushed Mai Jingtao on the table, and handcuffed him.Jian Baoning looked around at the police officers of the security department, and then shouted: "The person in charge of the security department stands up!"

"Sir!" A superintendent took two steps forward, stood at attention and saluted, with a nervous expression on his face.

Jian Baoning stared at him and said, "Take Mai Sir into the detention room and don't let anyone get close to him, understand!"

"Yes, sir!" The superintendent shouted loudly.

He Dingxian bent down under the table to pick up a gun, gently stuffed it into the gun bag, then patted Mai Jingtao on the shoulder, and said: "Let's go."

He watched the police take the distraught Mai Jingtao away, and heard Jian Baoning ask: "Sir Ho, can you help solve the rally in Central?"

"No problem." He Dingxian raised his hand and saluted, and said briskly, "It must be over before five o'clock!"

"Okay!" Jian Baoning said to Yifu again: "Let all Hong Kong's chief police officers come to Tai Kwun for a meeting, including the officers who are on the front line."

"Yes, sir!" Ifu replied sternly, and hurriedly left the meeting room, knowing that the senior management of the police force would usher in a new change of power.

He Dingxian, on the other hand, walked out of the room unhurriedly after the security officers had withdrawn from the meeting room, waved to the police officers in the corridor and said, "It's all right, it's all right, go back to your duty first, the governor just now Everyone heard the phone call!"

"I will definitely write a document to my superiors and ask for credit for your heroic actions!"

More than a dozen Chinese in plain clothes stood at attention, raised their hands in salute, and said very seriously: "Yes, sir!"

At this moment, the marine police force on the street tried to suppress the crowd with gunfire after being attacked by the Chinese at the rally, but the action force led by Gordon followed suit and charged the marine police force in an organized manner among the crowd.The marine police department was able to maintain the scuffle for more than ten minutes, and the formation was gradually washed away, and it was no longer as tyrannical as before. In just a few minutes, the army was defeated like a mountain, and completely fell into the crowd of Chinese, one after another. fall down.
