Wilson's current term as Governor of Hong Kong will end on July 8, 1992. It stands to reason that he was only 57 years old at that time, and there are still three years before the retirement age. Under normal circumstances without making many mistakes, it should continue. Re-elected as Governor of Hong Kong.

But Wilson just made a very serious mistake. His "core airport plan" was seized by the Chinese side. The new British Prime Minister Major will soon be forced to become the first Western head of state to visit China recently, and go to Beijing to wipe his **** with the Hong Kong-British authorities!

And after Mei Jie's trip to Beijing, dissatisfaction with Wilson will also reach its peak! Therefore, after the end of this term as Governor of Hong Kong, David Wilson must get out of the way immediately, so that the anger in Prime Minister Major's heart can be vented a little!

Don't look at Wilson's various actions over the past year, which seems to have aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Chinese side, but in fact he is already a dovish official who is very easy to deal with in the British government!

Compared with professional politicians such as Patten who were born in parliament and devoted all their energy to parliamentary struggles, officials such as David Wilson, who turned out to be diplomats, have a deeper understanding of international politics. He is very clear that on the Hong Kong issue, the British side has much more to ask of the Chinese side than what the Chinese side wants from the British side.

On the other hand, MPs like Patten can only see that the UK is now stronger than China on paper. So any British concession to China is seen as a weak and incompetent compromise.

But Patten didn't understand what qualifications Britain had to be tough?

Since the Boer War in 1899, the British Empire has ceased to be the invincible empire on which the sun never sets. Three wars in a row quickly drained Britain of all the power it had built up over centuries and began a century-long decline.

They were able to defeat Argentina in the Falklands War before, not so much that the British still had strength, but that Argentina was too bad! China is not Argentina, and Hong Kong is not the Malvinas Islands.

The Malvinas Islands are 500 kilometers away from the coastline of the South American mainland, and the only British navy that can still be used is still useful. Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are only separated by a shallow Victoria Strait. If China and Britain go to war, it will definitely be the army rather than the navy who will decide the outcome.

What is the level of the British Army, just look at its performance in World War II! Whether it is the confrontation between the North African battlefield and the "Desert Fox" Rommel, or the confrontation with the Japanese army in the Southeast Asian battlefield, it is a complete defeat. The reason why the German army finally succeeded in North Africa was not that Montgomery used soldiers like a god, but that the German army was dragged down by its own weak logistics.

Although the current level of modernization of the Chinese army is insufficient, the total number of up to 3 million will drown the British army. Not to mention that now you can still wait for work, waiting for the other party's labor expedition across half the world at the door!

Of course, not to mention the final outcome of the war between China and the UK, as long as Hong Kong is caught in the flames of war, the hundreds of thousands of local Chinese who already have British passports will most likely flee to the British mainland for asylum. The sudden influx of hundreds of thousands of war refugees alone can bring down the British government!

So no matter whether it wins or loses, it is actually impossible for the UK to go to war with China for the sake of Hong Kong. And when even the last deterrent of the war card is lost, does the UK have any other choice besides compromising with China?

It is precisely because of this that it is very clear that their own confidence is insufficient, so when the Sino-British negotiation was conducted, whether it was Ke Lida, Mac Robin, or David Wilson, as well as the deceased former Hong Kong Governor Youde, these professional diplomats came from the British side. Representatives, all of them calmly suggested Mrs Thatcher to return Hong Kong to China.

It can be said that these British diplomats who have dealt with China's major powers are the group of people in the British government who can best understand the real strength comparison between China and the UK on the Hong Kong issue.

Therefore, instead of letting a politician like Patten come to Hong Kong as a scumbag, it is better to let a diplomat who understands the situation in Hong Kong be the last governor of Hong Kong. This is the best choice for the smooth handover of Hong Kong!

In fact, Li Xuan has already delineated several candidate lists, such as the Prime Minister's special envoy to the Far East, Sir Kelida. He is not only a well-known "China Hand" in British political circles, but also one of the main British leaders who participated in the drafting of the Sino-British Joint Declaration.

Ke Lida has worked in Beijing-Beijing for many years as early as the 1960s, and he fully understands the complexity of the Hong Kong issue. Because he actively persuaded Thatcher to accept the Sino-British Joint Declaration, he was even called the number one "pro-China" in the UK by a small group of ultra-conservatives within the Conservative Party!

Ke Lida was originally an excellent candidate for the last Hong Kong Governor, but unfortunately he is already 67 years old this year, and has passed the retirement age earlier. He was able to stay behind to participate in Sino-British diplomatic work before because Thatcher trusted him very much. Now that Thatcher has stepped down, Kelida's life highlights are over!

And his luck was so bad that this time he was sent to Beijing-Beijing by John Major as a special envoy. In other words, the next job of persuading Mei Jie to go to Beijing to sign the new airport memorandum will definitely fall on him! This is a typical thankless job, and when Major returns from Beijing-Beijing, he is expected to shed the lingering anger on him.

The Prime Minister doesn't even need to find an excuse, just let Ke Lida retire!

In addition to Ke Lida, Li Xuan has another candidate, Gao Denian, the current chief representative of the UK side of the China-UK Liaison Group. However, compared with Mai Ruobin and Ke Lida, Gao Denian's biggest disadvantage is that he is slightly less qualified and has not held any significant positions.

Just because of his current status as the chief representative of the British side of the Sino-British Liaison Group, it would be very difficult to operate if he wanted to become a high-ranking Governor of Hong Kong~www.readwn.com~!

So Li Xuan's first choice was Mai Ruobin. When he came to see the other party today, he also wanted to take this opportunity to observe the other party in person and see if this person was worth his bet! It is not so easy to manipulate the appointment of the Governor-General of Hong Kong, and it is necessary to get Prime Minister Major to nod himself!

And Li Xuan's friendship with Major, the new British Prime Minister, is far less profound than that of US President Bush! Fortunately, democracy in the West, in the final analysis, still serves capital. As long as Li Xuan can come up with enough exchange of interests, someone will naturally come forward to communicate with the new prime minister on his behalf!

There is still nearly a year before Wilson's term ends, and Li Xuanke has a very calm and slow operation! On the other hand, his old friend, President Bush, is very proud of his recent performance by the U.S. military in the Gulf War.
