Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

After the Hong Kong Governor's meeting.

As the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose paced back and forth in his private office, still feeling uneasy.

He knows very well that in the British political arena, everyone is scheming, especially those who can sit on the throne of Prime Minister, they are even more ruthless and will be punished.

Since Du Yongxiao has such a good relationship with the Prime Minister Edward, will he put some shoes on his back when he returns to England in the future?

To take a step back, would Du Yongxiao snitch in private and betray himself?

It took a lot of effort for MacLehose to break through the siege in England and ascend to the throne of Hong Kong Governor.

For this reason, he did a lot to please the big guys in England, including Prime Minister Edward of the Conservative Party.

The more MacLehose thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

He had managed to survive until today, and his ambitions had not yet been realized, so he was unwilling to return home.

"Yes, I want to fight for the opportunity!"

"I cannot end my political life just because I made a mistake!"

"What should I do? I offended Du Yongxiao so badly! God, who knows that he has such a special status that he actually had an affair with our Prime Minister!"

MacLehose banged his head hard, and the secretary next to him was frightened, fearing that something might happen to the Governor of Hong Kong.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"Damn, am I frustrated today?"

"No, sir, you--"

"You don't need to tell me, I know!" MacLehose glared at the secretary, "Now I'm looking for ways to make up for my mistakes. As the Chinese say, it's not too late to make up for it before it's too late!"

"Ahem, sir, actually -"

"Actually what?" MacLehose looked at his secretary, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Um -" the secretary hesitated, "Um, I heard that Police Commissioner Rosen is about to retire and leave, and Chief Superintendent Du is so outstanding..."

When MacLehose heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean-"

"That's right!" The secretary boldly stepped forward and said to MacLehose: "Just now you have strongly retained Chief Superintendent Du and prevented him from leaving his post. In this case, why not work harder and promote him to the police force? long?"

MacLehose pinched his chin, his expression uncertain.

"The Commissioner of Police is not an ordinary position. It can even be said that in the entire disciplinary force, one person is inferior to ten thousand people!"

Of course the secretary knew what MacLehose meant.

The Hong Kong Police Force has always been responsible for controlling the stability of the entire Hong Kong Island.

In the non-war era, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong were basically just decorations and did not take any action.

Since then, the power of the police force has been endless.

During the political struggles in Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s, the police force played an important role in bringing order to chaos.

Therefore, many Hong Kong people believe that whoever gets the police force gets Hong Kong Island!

Because of this, the British Hong Kong government has always been cautious about the selection of the Commissioner of Police. Especially when it comes to Chinese people, we are even more cautious.

Of course, there are also historical reasons for this.

At the beginning, the British gangsters wanted to "use China to control China", so they inserted many Chinese into the police force, hoping that the Chinese would be loyal to them so that dog bites dog. For this reason, they generously promoted promotions for many Chinese police officers, among whom they were most optimistic about the famous Chinese Superintendent Zeng Zhaoke.

This senior of To Yongxiao was the proud man of the police force in the 1950s and 1960s. He was deeply trusted by the ghosts and might even become the first Chinese Governor of Hong Kong in the future.

It's a pity that the "Zeng Zhaoke case" finally happened, catching Gui Lao off guard!

It also made them understand how failed their strategy of "using China to control China" was.

For this reason, they revised their strategy and only let Chinese policemen serve as the lowest detective positions. The highest chief inspector was not as good as Chen Zhichao.

For this reason, in the previous life, they "cultivated" the famous "Four Detectives" led by Lei Luo, and the "Three Flags" led by Chen Zhichao.

Further up, there are only a handful of Chinese people serving as senior police officers.

But now, Du Yongxiao came out of nowhere, like a comet rising in the Hong Kong police circles. His dazzling level was as bright as Zeng Zhaoke, the former favorite of heaven, and even surpassed him.

"This suggestion needs long-term consideration, just in case -"

"I know what you are worried about, sir." The secretary took another step forward and looked at the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose: "But King Louis XV of France has a saying, after I die, let him flood the sky! What are you doing here? It’s not like you will sit in the position of Governor of Hong Kong for a lifetime. Sooner or later, you will have to go back to England. What you have to do now is to establish good relations with England and strengthen cooperation with the Prime Minister. To this end, you must not offend Du Yongxiao. On the contrary, you must support Du Yongxiao. So---"

MacLehose pinched his chin and smiled: "No need to say anymore, you are such a ghost!"

"It's all adults. You teach me well on weekdays!" The secretary quickly took two steps back with a respectful attitude.

MacLehose looked deeply at his personal secretary and suddenly said: "Could it be that...you were bribed by someone named Du?"

The secretary looked stern and said hurriedly: "Sir, how can you doubt me? I am loyal to you and have absolutely no second thoughts! Regarding this -"

The secretary raised his hand: "I can swear to God! My loyalty can be judged by the sun and the moon, otherwise I will fall into hell and never recover!"

"Haha, there's no need to swear such a vicious oath! I was just talking casually." MacLehose glanced at his secretary and felt relieved, "You know, the scene just now shocked me. My personal bodyguards and security personnel actually They are all people with the surname Du! God, I was at a loss at that time and almost doubted my life! Is this the Hong Kong Governor’s Mansion with the surname Du, or my Hong Kong Governor’s Mansion?”

"Of course it's your old man's Hong Kong Governor's Mansion!" The secretary took a step forward and said cautiously, "You are the king here! When the king is angry, blood will be splashed five steps away. No one dares to disobey you!"

"Really, maybe the one with the surname Du is an exception." MacLehose sighed, "I am a king in vain! The one with the surname Du is the king! I used to hear that he was the famous Emperor of Kowloon, but now I know that he is the King of Hong Kong !”

MacLehose shook his head, unwilling to mention the matter again, "Summon Police Commissioner Lawson and tell him that I have something to say to him about his retirement and resignation!"

"Yes, sir!" The secretary bowed and exited.

Crunch, close the office door.

The personal secretary took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned and walked outside.

Come to the phone.

Following MacLehose's instructions, the secretary called Police Commissioner Rosen and explained MacLehose's situation before hanging up the phone.

Thinking about it, the secretary finally plucked up the courage to call.

beep---

beep---

beep---

After three long beeps.

There's someone answering the phone -

"Hello, I'm Yan Xiong."

"Hello, Inspector Yan, please help me tell Mr. Du that the matter has been settled!"
