Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 296 Change of Power

"Sir Mai, sir He, sir!" Ifu shouted in a hurried tone, sweating profusely: "Can you point a gun at each other in the police station? Can you break into the Hong Kong government and point a gun at the governor? If this continues, no one will be able to leave the conference room!"

"Hong Kong Island, the police force and the family don't care. We will report the scene situation to the Governor and let him make the final decision!"

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

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

Yifu brought a lighter and stepped forward to light the fire for Sir He. McIntosh said: "Let the Governor impeach me? Ifu, do you have enough votes?"

"Sir Mai," Yi Fu looked at Mai Jingtao, his expression showed despair, and he said in disbelief: "You still want to fight with me at this time? Now it's just for the entire police force, not for the safety of the whole city. We have fought until now, and we can continue to fight. It benefits no one!”

He put away the lighter, pushed away several security police officers, walked out of the office quickly, raised his hands and shouted: "Put down the gun, stop counting! Five minutes, after five minutes, you can fight however you want." you!"

"It doesn't matter if all the people present are naked and the police are killing each other on the streets, but sirs, please give me a chance to call the Governor!"

In the corridor, hundreds of police officers turned their attention to him.

"Let Sir He go!" A Chinese police officer shouted loudly and said firmly: "There are still five seconds left. If we don't let Sir He go out, we will fight in!"

"FUCK!" Yifu looked at the murderous and fearless Chinese police officer and cursed angrily: "Sir He is pointing a gun at the head of the police commissioner and asking him, go in and ask him if he will. Willing to let it go!”

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

It has to be said that it is very important to have someone who can break the deadlock and make a decision at this time. With his quick wit and courage, Sir Ifu shocked the police officers present. The leading Chinese plainclothes man thought for a moment and lowered the muzzle of his gun. The other inspectors and security officers gradually lowered their muzzles one after another.

"Five minutes, just five minutes!" Ifu reiterated again and returned to the conference room. At this time, only Mai, Jian, and He were the only three people holding guns in the audience, and he didn't waste any time. He picked up the landline phone 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 from 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 spoke loudly.

"Bring it in!" The Governor put down the document, his assistant nodded, turned around, closed the door, ding ding ding, one of the five phones on the desk rang, representing a call from an internal organization on Hong Kong Island.

The Governor answered the phone and said loudly: "Sir Mai, the situation in Central is far worse than what you said. I want the gathering to be evacuated before five o'clock in the evening!"

Ifu turned on the amplifier and leaned over nervously: "Sir, I am Deputy Director of Management Ifu, and I am reporting to you on behalf of the police department!"

The governor's expression was slightly startled, obviously surprised, but he quickly recovered and said solemnly: "Speak!"

Legally speaking, the deputy director level will not have direct contact with the Hong Kong Governor. Only the director is qualified to report to the Hong Kong Governor. Now that the deputy director of management has made an unusual call, the water behind the police force may be very muddy. It's just that no matter how hard the Hong Kong Governor tried, he never imagined that the Police Commissioner was having a gun pointed at his head.

"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 in resolute suppression, while Sir Jian hopes to adopt softer law enforcement methods." Ifu said in a very artistic way. : "The two chiefs are meeting and negotiating. The situation is a bit unpleasant. Please give the governor an order!"

As the post-war governor, Ge Hongliang made outstanding achievements during his administration and had an extremely keen political sense. Based on the intelligence he obtained, he realized that behind Yifu's two casual words, there was an extremely dangerous and fierce power struggle in the police force. How intense? It was so violent that it could no longer be contained without relying on the power of the governor. It's so violent that the Commissioner of Police has lost control of the operational troops, and it's so violent that a coup is taking place within the Police Department! This coup also involved him, the governor, and was forcing the governor to make a choice.

Yes.

When Ifu called the Governor's Mansion and communicated directly with the Governor, bypassing the director, it meant that McIntosh had completely lost power and really lost! McIntosh was just riding a tiger, unable to get off, and had to pin his hopes on the Governor's favor.

McIntosh was Ge Hongliang's confidant, so it might not be possible for him to insist on letting McIntosh stay in the police force. However, as a qualified politician, the Governor knew that he could not risk the safety of the city or his own political achievements.

Jian Baoning's military faction had already collapsed once, and there was no need to worry about it. Let the military faction come to power, and the orders of the Governor's Mansion could still be conveyed.

At this time, the Governor looked out the window and saw a hydrogen balloon floating in the sky. On the balloon was a banner that read: "In memory of our Nanyang compatriots, Governor Gui Lao steps down." He sighed deeply in his heart and asked, "Give the phone to Sir Kin!" "

"Yes, sir!" Yifu looked a little lonely, and after answering, he gave up a seat.

Jian Baoning happened to be standing in front of the table, pressed the muzzle of his gun harder against Bu Li, and greeted: "Sir, I am Jian Baoning, deputy director of operations, good afternoon."

McIntosh's expression showed panic, his hand holding the gun kept shaking, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Ge Hongliang said: "Sir Jian, I'll leave Operation Central to you. Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Jian Baoning said loudly: "I will definitely clean up the situation on the streets before the Governor gets off work!"

"Now I'll let you take command of the police station!" Ge Hongliang's voice was clear, steady, powerful, and calm. Jian Baoning pushed the cloth onto the table with force and shouted: "Yes, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Just as Kin was about to hang up the phone, Mai Jingtao went crazy and shouted: "Sir, the Central rally was planned by Kin, Ho Ting-hsien and others. The police department cannot be handed over to Kin. According to my Based on their opinions, Hong Kong Island’s special level was raised to a state of emergency, the garrison was mobilized to disperse the citizens on the streets, and the police headquarters was temporarily taken over!”

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

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

"beep"

The governor hung up the phone.

Jian Baoning let go of Bu Li, threw his hands on the ground, glanced at the clock on the wall, and then looked at everyone and said: "At 3:27 in the afternoon, Deputy Director of Operations Jian Baoning formally impeached the police officer. Chief of Staff, Mai Jingtao, who objects?"

No one answered.

Jian Baoning nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him behind him, and said with a chuckle: "Sir Mai, now I am officially dismissing you from your post as Acting Police Commissioner. Please hand over your arms."

His expression suddenly changed, he looked at the muzzle of the gun and shouted: "I want you to hand over your weapon!"

McIntosh was sweating profusely, holding the weapon, and trembling all over. It seemed that he had just suggested that the governor mobilize the garrison, and he was aggressive and ruthless, but fundamentally he was still a weak and incompetent politician.

If he was really aggressive and domineering, he would have given up money interests early on and carried out brutal purges and suppression of the Chinese police force. It is far from allowing the Chinese power to develop to this day. It is nothing more than trying to break the pot when facing a desperate situation.

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 the Governor for his lost power and lost political achievements? One mouthful after another is irreversible. In times of crisis, it’s hard to see how much he served the country in the first place!

You know, after the martial law state of Hong Kong is lifted, the current governor will most likely be dismissed. Because martial law is another power reshuffle, involving the interests of the great men in the ancestral council. McIntosh could not give up his personal interests back then, so why should he ask the Hong Kong Governor to give up his personal interests and come to protect him now? You are the director, your life is valuable, but the governor's life is cheap?

Now that McIntosh didn't even have the courage to shoot, Jian Baoning reached out sideways, smashed his arm on the corner of the table, smashed his gun, kicked it away, and shouted: "Grab him! "

When the security police officers were at a loss, several CID officers had already rushed into the office, pushed McIntosh onto the table, and handcuffed his hands. Jian Baoning looked at the security police officers around him, and then ordered: "The person in charge of the security department, come forward!"

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

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

"Yes, sir!" the superintendent shouted.

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

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

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

"Okay!" Jian Baoning said to Yifu again: "Let all the director-level police officers in Hong Kong come to Tai Kwun for a meeting, including the officers working on the front line."

"Yes, sir!" Ifu replied sternly, and hurriedly left the conference room, knowing that a new change of power was about to take place at the top of the police force.

After the security police officers withdrew from the conference room, He Dingxian walked out of the room slowly, waved to the police officers in the corridor and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Go back to your post first. The Governor just said Everyone heard my phone call!"

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

A dozen Chinese plainclothes men stood at attention, raised their hands in salute, and said very seriously: "Yes, sir!"

At this moment, the Marine Police Force on the street was attacked by the Chinese rally and tried to suppress the crowd with shooting. However, the action force led by Gordon followed up and charged the Marine Police Force in an organized manner among the crowd. The Marine Police Department could barely sustain a melee for more than ten minutes, but the formation was gradually broken down. It no longer had the previous tyranny. In just a few minutes, the troops were defeated like a mountain, and they were completely plunged into the sea of ​​Chinese people. One after another, they continued to fight. Fall down.
