Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Master Fu, you don't have to react so much, do you?"

Seeing Liu Fu spit out a mouthful of tea, Du Yongxiao couldn't help but said.

"You, you, what did you say? Say it again?" Liu Fu choked so hard that tears came out.

"I said I wanted to find a chief superintendent."

Du Yongxiao is actually very humble. He originally wanted to say that he wanted to be the "Chief of Police", that is, the legendary "first brother" in the police circle. He was afraid that Liu Fu would not be able to accept it, so he took a step back and said that he wanted to be the "Chief Superintendent of Police". ".

"Cough cough cough!" Liu Fu coughed hard.

Du Yongxiao had no choice but to take out a handkerchief and hand it over.

Liu Fu took the handkerchief and covered his mouth and said, "Do you know what you're talking about? Chief Superintendent? How dare you expect the Chief Superintendent to be the Chief Superintendent? Anyone who can be the Chief Superintendent must be a ghost, or have the surname Lu or Zeng Such a proud son of heaven!"

No wonder Liu Fu said so.

Since Hong Kong was colonized by the British, in this colonial-style police force, the status of police officers is determined by their nationality. Although the residents of Hong Kong are nominally subjects of the British Empire at this time, skin color and race are the same. An insurmountable gap.

In the police force, the European police, especially the British police, have the highest status, followed by the Indian police, and the Chinese police have the lowest status. They cannot even enjoy the same right to carry out law enforcement with guns, and can only rely on batons to enforce the law.

It was not until the end of the 1950s that the Chinese police force rose in the Hong Kong police circle, especially the Chinese police headed by the four major detectives. Relying on their unique "racial advantages", they not only controlled the entire grassroots police circle in Hong Kong, but also affected those above them. ghost.

The policy of "Using China to Control China" by Guilo's high-level executives has achieved initial results, but it can't be shaken off. It can be said that at that time, the Chinese police forces were really in full swing, and they created a shocking "Black Gold Empire".

But when it comes to the highest status of the Chinese police, two big figures have to be mentioned, one is Lu Jiaxing and the other is Zeng Zhaoke.

Lu Jiaxing first worked in the Department of Education of the Hong Kong Government, and concurrently served as the principal of government schools such as Barford Street and Hollywood Road, and the principal of Tsing Yi Public School. He also founded Lingqiao English School and served as the school supervisor and principal.

Joined as a member of the Reserve Police Force in 1947, promoted to Senior Inspector, Auxiliary Police Officer of Causeway Bay District Office and Escort Team, Auxiliary Police Officer of Central District Office, Hung Hom District Office and Mong Kok District Office, was awarded the Colonial Police Service Medal of Honor, Colonial Special Police Meritorious Long Service Medal.

In 1963, he was promoted to Assistant Police Deputy Superintendent, Superintendent, and Honorary Superintendent of the Royal Hong Kong Police Auxiliary Squad of the Constitutional Committee.

As for Zeng Zhaoke, he graduated and returned to Hong Kong in 1947. He joined the Hong Kong Police Force with a high degree of education and was reused repeatedly. He was sent to the London Metropolitan Police Department for training. He successively served in the Ministry of Communications, the Political Department, and the Detective Department, and later served as the deputy director of the Kowloon Criminal Investigation Division.

In 1960, he studied in the advanced administrative courses of the University of Cambridge, UK. After returning to Hong Kong in 1961, he was promoted to assistant superintendent at the age of 38.

Zeng Zhaoke was a Chinese police officer who was promoted very quickly in the early days of the Hong Kong British Police Force. Later, in the 1970s, the police chiefs who were famous for corruption, the four major detectives, etc., were all lower than Zeng Zhaoke at that time, and some were even Zeng's subordinates.

Many people believe that if the accident had not occurred, Tsang Zhaoke would probably have become the first Chinese police chief in Hong Kong.

Although the entire Chinese police community has these two Chinese seniors sitting in charge and earning enough face for the Chinese police, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of "Heaven's favored son" will never exist again.

On the one hand, the ghosts are wary of the Chinese police, fearing that the Chinese police will betray them like a certain senior when they become big; Neither, I also like infighting.

"So, Ah Xiao, you should abandon this unrealistic fantasy! Why don't you take over my class, at least you can save some strength when you become the Chief Inspector of Zonghua, and then you will be hired as a trainee inspector, and the senior inspector will also be a senior inspector." Not impossible! As for the Chief Superintendent, don’t even think about it!”

Liu Fu's mood stabilized, and he said to Du Yongxiao sincerely.

Du Yongxiao knew that it was difficult for Liu Fu to understand his ambitions, so he couldn't blame Liu Fu. Due to the limitations of the times, Liu Fu could only stare at his own three-acre land, thinking that Inspector Zonghua had enough power.

As someone who has experienced it, Du Yongxiao clearly knows that Chen Zhichao will be in charge of the "Three Banners" in the future.

After Liu Fu handed over Chief Inspector General Hua to Lei Luo, Lei Luo thought he was powerful, but unexpectedly, when the Hong Kong Police Force appointed him Chief Inspector General Hua, he also set up two new departments. The International Anti-Drug Team, commonly known as Lao Guo; the other is the General Crime Investigation Division, commonly known as the 633 Death Squad, which means that it is within its purview and is not subject to any control or restriction.

These two departments are collectively referred to as the "Three Banners", and Chen Zhichao is the first chief rudder of the "Three Banners".

When Chen Zhichao has this kind of power, crushing Du Yongxiao to death is as easy as crushing an ant.

Taking a step back, even if Du Yongxiao really became the inspector of Zonghua, he would still be crushed by Chen Zhichao.

Therefore, the only thing Du Yongxiao can do is to keep climbing, to a position that no one can reach, to become the first brother in the police circle, the big boss among the big bosses.

"Master Fu, everyone has his own ambition!" Du Yongxiao smiled and said no more. "Maybe I made a great contribution this time, maybe those ghosts will directly help me get a job!"

"You mean you're going to take care of Chief Inspector Charles and make a seat available?" Liu Fu said contemptuously, "You are just a Chinese inspector now, and you have to take your time if you want to get a job, unless you triple jump! Besides, those How could the ghost hand over such an important position to you easily? Unless—"

"Unless what?"

Before Liu Fu could answer, he heard Liu He yelling outside and rushed in.

"Second Uncle, big news! Big news!"

Liu Fu glared at him angrily: "What news? Is it because I didn't beat you to death that you are planning to throw yourself into a trap?"

"No, I'm telling the truth, I'm not joking with you!" Liu He said excitedly, "It's about Ah Xiao!" After speaking, he looked at Du Yongxiao excitedly.

"about me?"

"About him?"

Du Yongxiao and Liu Fu looked at Liu He together.

Liu He danced and danced: "It was just announced that Ah Xiao will be sent to Scotland Yard for training!"

"What?"

Liu Fu stared wide-eyed, looking at Du Yongxiao in disbelief.

Du Yongxiao was also taken aback.

Everyone knows that sending to Scotland Yard for training is a common practice in the police force before they are ready to take up their posts, and the lowest-ranked inspectors, such as Chen Zhichao, went to Scotland Yard for further studies and became probationary inspectors when they came back.

What's more, if you perform well in Scotland Yard, you will directly become an official inspector, or a senior inspector, not even a trainee.

"Master Fu! What do you think about this?" Du Yongxiao looked at Liu Fu.

Liu Fu sat back in his chair, rubbed his face with his hands suddenly, and said, "I'm getting old!"
