Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Many people felt stimulated. After returning from Cheung Chau, the young and energetic Zheng Zhaoke felt that he had been greatly impacted by imperialism.

He believes that imperialism is really corrupt, and he also feels that Dr. Gao, who is famous in Hong Kong, wants to be worldly and bribe the ghost guy.

This will not be the case in the communist world!
The trip to Cheung Chau further strengthened Zheng Zhaoke's belief, and he began to write letters to his superiors as usual.

Zheng Zhaoke first truthfully described what he saw and gained in Cheung Chau, and Gao Yao was naturally not left out among them. He believed that Dr. Gao's prestige among the people was almost overwhelming, but he paid great attention to his relationship with Gui Lao, and he was suspected of being a roly-poly.

He added one last sentence: "Zhuang wants to recommend someone to be a close associate of the Hong Kong Governor. I hope he will come back soon, Ke."

After finishing writing, Zheng Zhaoke, with bright eyes, re-examined the content of the letter. In fact, he was still a little dissatisfied because the text did not express Gao Yao's influence on the people.

On second thought, the organization has been dealing with Dr. Gao for a long time and should understand what he means.

In this way, Zheng Zhaoke began to write a letter, and then affixed stamps to it.

At the same time, Zhuang Shiton was also discussing with McIntosh. He did not talk about Gao giving him a house, but said: "This sacrificial activity is very lively. I saw that almost all the tourists who visited knew Mr. Gao. .”

Zhuang Shidun, who had just arrived, naturally could not understand what Taiping Qingjiao was, and the foreign language could not be translated faithfully. His biggest understanding was that it was just a sacrificial event.

McIntosh is different. Before coming to Hong Kong Island, he was the captain of the Singapore Police Force. It can be said that he has been dealing with Chinese people throughout his police career and is very accustomed to the Chinese style.

Otherwise, he would not have actively made friends with Gao Yao in the first place.

During those days in Singapore, McIntosh understood that if Chinese people begin to appear in a place, it won't be long before the Chinese will have considerable influence in it.

This is the rule!

To improve public security, we must have a good relationship with the Chinese leaders.

"What do you think of MR. Gao?"

Zhuang Shiton said calmly: "Sir, I think MR. Gao is an oriental gentleman who has quite strong influence and appeal among the Chinese."

McIntosh smiled slightly. The Criminal Investigation Department is an independent department and has quite flexible powers in the police force.

Most importantly, this department was almost created specifically for the Chinese.

As the director of the Criminal Investigation Department, Zhuang Shiton was able to realize Gao Yao's influence from the beginning, which was very beneficial to his subsequent work.

McIntosh said: "Sir Zhuang, you should know that the current police force numbers are A\B\C\D\E\F."

Zhuang Shidun nodded: "Yes, A is the ancestors, B is the Moroccan police, C is the Guangdong police officer, D is the Shandong police officer, E is the Belarusian police officer, and F is the 30 people responsible for the order of the air raid shelter during the war."

McIntosh couldn't help but applaud: "It seems that Sir Zhuang has done his homework."

Zhuang Shiton looked reserved: "Sir, since I am on duty, of course I must do my homework well."

"Otherwise, how can we explain it to the Hong Kong governor and the royal family?"

"Hahaha."

Mai Jingtao smiled. It made sense for Zhuang Shiton to be transferred to be the director. He knew very well that the main task of the police force was to protect the wealth of the powerful rather than the safety of the people.

"The current number of active personnel in the police force, including civilian personnel, is 2328."

Zhuang Shidun didn't know this, so he quickly remembered it.

"There are 1025 people in Category A."

Most of these people were members of the police force from other British colonies. After the war, they applied to come to Hong Kong Island.

For example, Gerber, the director of the Yau Ma Tei Detective Division, came to Hong Kong Island in this way. In fact, John John was the same, but he had a high starting point and was directly promoted to the director of the Criminal Investigation Division.

"The number of people in B, D, E, and F is around 300."

Zhuang Shiton calculated and was immediately surprised: "The Guangdong police are the main force in maintaining law and order in the police force?"

McIntosh gave him an appreciative look: "The Shandong Police Department is currently mainly guarding Taiping Mountain and serving as an explosion-proof team."

"Molucha is the inherent guard."

"The White Russian police officer is the Marine Police."

As for F, it’s just a facade, so there’s no need to mention it.

There are two types of Yue Chai, one is in military uniform and the other is in plain clothes.

Military uniforms are the most common, "ABCD, big head and green clothes, can't catch thieves, blow BB" is what it says.

The plainclothes refers to the Criminal Investigation Division, which currently has about 220 agents.

There are not many people, and their positions are not high, with the highest being Yao Mu being the senior police chief, but these people have great power, really great power.

Detect crimes, apprehend suspects, manage people's policy affairs, review and process, sign and issue licenses, and manage mahjong parlors, mobile vendors, bars and other entertainment venues. In addition, it also includes the wholesale of large-scale events, festivals and Cantonese opera theaters, etc., all of which are returned to China. deal with.

For example, in general Taiping Jiao events, the Detective Division is responsible for wholesale. This is why Gao Yao asked Yao Mu to invite Zhuang Shiton to come over to appreciate and host the awards.

McIntosh continued: "The Hong Kong government has been secretly calculating the number of people coming to Hong Kong since the establishment of the People's Republic of China."

The police force bears this responsibility.

"According to estimates, the current population on Hong Kong Island is no less than 150 million."

Zhuang Shiton was horrified and moved: "What a shocking number."

The population is highly confidential, and only people in high positions like McIntosh are qualified to know.

The Hong Kong government has always known that the population of Hong Kong Island is experiencing explosive growth. However, the bureaucratic inaction style has made it accustomed to being lax and careless. It takes it for granted that these people coming to Hong Kong will continue to go to Nanyang or will not be around for a long time. Will return to the mainland.

Even if Gao Yao is mentioned one after another, this is still the case.

"Certainly, a significant number of these people may go back."

McIntosh shrugged: "But even so, the number of people who stayed is still quite amazing, and more than 70% of these people are Cantonese."

Hong Kong Island originally bordered Guangdong Province, and Guangfu was quite prosperous at that time, even more prosperous than Hong Kong Island today. There were many commercial exchanges between the two places, and it was normal for most Cantonese people to come to Hong Kong Island.

Zhuang Shidun nodded slightly, that's it.

The number of Category A police officers in the police force is not small, but most of them cannot speak Mandarin, let alone Cantonese.

Therefore, we must rely on Guangdong difference.

The problem now is obvious. Mr. Gao has a very high influence on Cantonese people and Cantonese people.

"It seems you understand?"

Zhuang Shiton nodded. He thought of something and tried again: "When we were in Cheung Chau, MR. Gao told me that he had an idea, saying that the current Chinese detective lacks a prime ministerial position."

"Yes."

McIntosh admitted that Gao had asked Li Wanhua to tell Mrs. McIntosh the idea first. After confirmation, the two parties met in secret and finalized it.

Detective Zonghua seems to have a good reputation, but in fact he is still under the Criminal Investigation Division. If this position is to be added, it will naturally be impossible to bypass the current Director of the Criminal Investigation Division, Zhuang Shiton.

"With more than 1000 people, we have to manage millions of people."

McIntosh spread his hands and said, "I'm not God."

Zhuang Shidon asked: "Sir, aren't you already planning to turn the police dormitory in Wong Chuk Hang into a school?"

"It's still not enough."

McIntosh shook his head: "Sir Zhuang, you should know that we are not actually responsible for the current security management of Hong Kong Island."

"It's a non-governmental organization, people like Mr. Gao."

He said quietly: "Last year, our Hong Kong Governor didn't realize this. He thought that MR. Gao was a gentleman and had good relations with the empire, so he tried to put his hand into the Kowloon Walled City where MR. Gao was responsible. Then he was killed by Mr. .Gao was taught a lesson.”

Zhuang Shiton was shocked. He only knew that a demonstration broke out on Hong Kong Island last year, but he did not expect that it actually involved a contest between the Hong Kong Governor and Mr. Gao.

From this point of view, the Governor of Hong Kong, who is only under God, actually lost?The problem is, the Governor of Hong Kong, who is the biggest owner of Hong Kong Island, didn’t deal with MR. Gao because of this?
Unbelievable!

Wait, Zhuang Shiton suddenly asked: "Sir."

He asked for advice: "MR. Gao and his ancestors have..."

Zhuang Shidun pointed upward: "Is there a way?"

Gentlemen also need to be polite. If you don't understand the world these days, it will be extremely difficult for you to get promoted.

McIntosh smiled slightly: "Mr. Gao once saved a friend of Sir Jane from the Public Works Bureau because he dived to save people in Sai Ying Pun."

"Both Sir Jane and Mrs. Jane admire MR. Gao very much, and the relationship between the two parties is very close."

Oh…

Zhuang Shiton didn't seem to understand. After all, he had just come to Hong Kong Island and didn't understand the situation of the heads of various departments here.

However, since Sir Mai would specifically mention it, I think Sir Jane should have a certain amount of energy in London.

McIntosh did not go in depth on this aspect. He returned to the topic: "What is directly related to public security is the Triad."

Johnston nodded. He knew this. The words Triads were often mentioned in the files of the Colonial Department. As long as there were Chinese people, there would be Triads.

However, there must be Chinese in the empire’s colonies...

"The current head of the triad rice gang is the Chamber of Commerce."

Zhuang Shidun suddenly realized, Chamber of Commerce?He has read the information and often heard people mention that one of Mr. Gao's many identities is the president of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce.

"Does that mean it's the Chamber of Commerce that controls the Triads?"

The two of them were talking privately, so there was naturally not much to avoid.

McIntosh smiled and said: "Although it is a bit inconsistent with our status as police officers, it is true."

"Currently there are three largest chambers of commerce in Hong Kong Island, the Wuyi Trade Union, the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, and the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce."

In fact, there is another one, the Chongzheng Association, which represents the Hakkas. However, the Hakkas in Hong Kong are mainly country gentry. The so-called Chongzheng Association currently mainly represents the Nanyang Hakkas, so it can be ignored.

Zhuang Shiton nodded silently, which meant that he mainly needed to deal with these three chambers of commerce.

"The Wuyi Trade Union operates as a board of directors, and the president is just an honorary member."

"Unlike the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce and the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, their presidents have extremely strong influence on the chamber of commerce."

"The current president of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce is Councilor Zhou Xinian of the Zhou family."

"The current president of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce is a senior member of the Gao family."

Zhuang Shidun's thoughts were racing, why did Sir Mai want to add the Zhou family and the Gao family in front of them?
McIntosh did not hide it, he said directly: "The Zhou family is a famous family in Hong Kong Island. They have gained the trust of the Hong Kong government and people for many years."

"As for the Gao family..."

It was difficult for him to express his emotions, so he could only say plainly: "MR. Gao successfully made it one of the four major families in Hong Kong Island in one year!"

"He replaced the original foreign drug dealer Lijia!"

Zhuang Shiton was shocked!
He knows the Li family!
It turns out…it turns out…

He originally thought that Gao Yao was polite, spoke kindly, and was gentle. He must be a scholar and definitely easy to talk to.

He also saw that Gao Yao bribed him very smoothly, so he must have gained his position through connections.

To be honest, Zhuang Shiton was actually a bit disdainful deep down in his heart at the beginning.

After hearing that McIntosh had mentioned that Gao Yao had no problem fighting with the Hong Kong Governor, he put away his disdain.

When he heard McIntosh say that this high-ranking official had destroyed the Lee family and replaced him within one year, Zhuang Shiton's heart suddenly beat wildly.

It turns out that behind this gentleman's veil is a giant tiger that eats people without spitting out their bones!

Unfortunately, I actually thought that Mr. Goldman Sachs was not worthy of his reputation. It turned out that I was not only mistaken, but also deceived by Mr. Goldman's performance.

Zhuang Shiton's back immediately broke out in white sweat.

How sophisticated is McIntosh's vision?He could tell at a glance that Zhuang Shiton was shocked, which was good, because it was easier to manage.

He just ignored it and continued, "With the cooperation of these three chambers of commerce, Hong Kong Island will be able to maintain a certain level of peace."

"However, the Chamber of Commerce cannot cover the entire Hong Kong Island, and it is difficult to balance the manpower."

"From January to now this year, there have been many murders, weapon robberies, home invasions and other serious cases."

"Among them were compatriots who were killed."

Of course the people in this country are Westerners.

"No reason!"

Zhuang Shidun, who was using the topic as an excuse, finally suppressed the horror in his heart. He followed up: "It seems that the Criminal Investigation Department still has shortcomings."

This brings me back again.

McIntosh nodded: "Yes, MR. Gao is also aware of this. He believes that there are currently problems with the cooperation between the various ring leaders. In the final analysis, there is no character among the Chinese police detectives who can definitely speak."

In fact, the earliest arrangement was intentional.

The police force has also considered this, so it has arranged the position of director of the Criminal Investigation Division in Tai Huantou (a miscellaneous room with sufficient oil and water).

The large ring head represents abundant oil and water, and also represents many cases, so these directors are required to communicate with each other.

The problem is that there are still problems with the communication between the Chinese and the ghosts, and in some cases, Inspector Hua is not willing to communicate with the ghosts.

Since there was a problem with the connection, so many vicious cases had broken out this year, and high officials were speaking out, McIntosh thought that the most he could do was to create an additional inspector position, so he accepted it directly.

“Public security in general depends on the Guangdong Police Department.”

McIntosh said to Zhuang Shiton: "Sir Zhuang, it is up to you to propose a new personality and a new atmosphere, and I will give my approval."

"At that time, Inspector General Hua will also report to you alone."

In fact, this position is about decentralization of power, which is divided between the directors of the Criminal Investigation Division and Zhuang Shiton.

However, from now on, the introduction of this position has become inevitable.

For Zhuang Shiton, who is new to the country, he can use this position to sort out the connections within the Criminal Investigation Department.

Of course, Zhuang Shiton can also refuse, but now that Brother No. [-] is speaking directly, it would be too ignorant to refuse.

Johnston stood up and saluted without hesitation: "Yes Sir!"

A smile suddenly appeared on McIntosh's face. Behind this Yes Sir, he finally had an explanation to MR. Gao and the police force.

20, this amount of money is not a small amount.

If we talk about salary, I will have to earn it for at least ten years.

"Sir Zhuang, you just came to Hong Kong Island. There are a few meetings that you have to join."

McIntosh smiled and took out two application forms from the drawer: "One is from the Fanling Golf Club and the other is from the Jockey Club. I will be your recommender."

These two clubs were originally social clubs for white people, so they didn’t belong to their own people.

Johnston saluted again: "Thank You, Sir!"

He thought to himself, he didn't expect that he would experience a collusion between government and businessmen as soon as he came here. This MR. Gao was really sharp. (End of chapter)
