Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The amount of information they got today was really too much, and it felt like Bao Zixuan was waiting for them somewhere. Could it be that he had known for a long time that the Argentines dared to take action against the Falkland Islands? This was information that even the British intelligence agencies had not received. It seems that the richest man's intelligence sources and abilities need to be re-understood.

What was before the two of them was how to apply for the Heiyun Group's military license from China. This was an offending task. If you do something bad, various domestic companies will hold grudges and they will definitely stand up and suppress you when you have problems. After all, this group of people can do anything for profit, but now the two of them have no choice but to fall into a difficult situation.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Yoder said: "General Richard, I think the two of us signed the application to the country together. As for whether London can agree, it is not up to us to decide."

Richard also knew that Governor Yoder wanted to get him involved, and he didn't want to take the blame alone at this time. It is almost impossible to be alone at this moment. As the commander of the Hong Kong Garrison, I have to bear corresponding responsibilities.

Richard: "No problem, as it should be."

When the Iron Lady arrived at the office in the morning, her secretary brought the telegram from Xiangjiang. After seeing the content, the strong woman said without hesitation: "An emergency parliament will be convened this afternoon to discuss matters related to the Falkland Islands and the application submitted by Hong Kong."

The secretary said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, you are sure to convene the parliament this afternoon. I'm afraid it's too late."

Iron Lady: "I'm talking about this afternoon, and people in the country must rush over. What time of day is it now? We must pay attention to work efficiency."

The British Parliament is not easy to convene, but it has a strict system.

The British Parliament, also known as the Westminster Parliament, is the highest legislative body in the United Kingdom and the center stage of British politics. The government emerges from and is accountable to Parliament. The British Parliament is a bicameral system. The British Parliament is composed of the House of Lords (House of Peers), the House of Commons (House of Commons) and the King, and exercises the highest legislative power of the country. The British Parliament was founded in the 13th century and has a history of more than 700 years. It is known as the "Mother of Parliament". Since the beginning of Parliament, meetings have usually been held in the Palace of Westminster (the Houses of Parliament), an ancient building in London. It meets twice a year. The first session starts at the end of March and ends in early August. The second session starts at the end of October and ends before Christmas in December.

In 1689, in order to limit the power of the British crown, the British Parliament passed the Bill of Rights. It strictly limits the king's rights in economic, political, religious and other affairs, determines the basic principle that parliament has the highest power, and clearly stipulates the rights of citizens. A new bourgeois constitutional monarchy was established in Britain.

Under normal circumstances, the Prime Minister can make decisions by himself, and will only convene parliament for discussion unless encountering difficult matters. The secretary did not expect that the Iron Lady would take the Hong Kong issue so seriously. It seemed that his knowledge was too low.

Not only the secretary was surprised, but also the congressmen who received the notice were baffled. What is Iron Lady singing? The matter has become so urgent. Could it be that the Argentinians have launched an attack on the British mainland?

The royal family members were not very understanding after receiving the notice, but after all, it was during the war with Argentina. Could it be that there are some problems in the country or some major events have occurred?

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the MPs who could be seen appeared at the Palace of Westminster (Parliament Building). The Prime Minister has the power to convene an extraordinary parliament. Moreover, it is war time. No one wants to offend the Iron Lady, in case it scares the monkeys. It's not impossible for you to sacrifice the flag.

At this time, it is very rare for all members of the upper and lower houses to gather together for a meeting. They usually hold meetings alone.

The members of the House of Lords are not elected. They are composed of descendants of the royal family, hereditary nobles, legal nobles, family nobles, life nobles, Scottish nobles, Irish nobles, outgoing prime ministers, and bishops (spiritual personnel). There are currently 781 people with no term of office. limit. The number of members of the House of Lords is variable because the Queen can temporarily add titles, but the death of a member does not require an increase.

Many social strata and interest groups realize the important role of parliament, especially the lower house of parliament, in national political life, and their expectations of entering the lower house of parliament are becoming increasingly eager. Therefore, the House of Commons has gradually become the main venue for British social elites. To a certain extent, the House of Commons is the concentrated expression of British political and social life. The UK is divided into 650 constituencies, each electing a representative, and there are a total of 650 seats in the House of Commons.

Seeing the number of people attending the meeting, Iron Lady felt much better. Except for a few people who were too far away to make it back, it can be said that the people came very neatly this time. Even more came than when the fixed-time meeting was held. It seems that they also know what difficulties the country is facing at this time.

The Iron Lady saw everyone and said, "We have called everyone together for an impromptu meeting today, mainly around the follow-up to the attack on the Falkland Islands by the Argentines."

"As we all know, the British Empire has sent troops to safeguard the interests of the empire. But after all, it is an expedition and requires strong logistical supplies. Although we have temporarily modified many cargo ships, we cannot solve all problems. The transportation speed of cargo ships is still too slow. The soldiers on the front line simply cannot afford to wait, so yesterday I asked Hong Kong Governor Youde and Commander of the Hong Kong Garrison Richard to go to Heiyun Group to understand the situation. The ground effect aircraft is a very practical strategic transportation tool."

"The data shows that the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft did not disappoint. Governor Youde and General Richard also experienced it personally and both praised the performance of the aircraft."

"The purpose of convening everyone for this meeting is because Heiyun Group does not have a military industry license, so it cannot supply the military. Even if it supplies products, it is a simplified version of the product, without even the most basic self-protection capabilities."

"Therefore, Governor Yoder and General Richard hope that the government will issue a military industrial license to Heiyun Group. There is no precedent before, so they want to hear everyone's opinions."

If he had known that Iron Lady said that it was the two of them who applied for a military license for Heiyun, then this telegram would not have been sent under any circumstances. This is not to offend anyone, let the interest groups of the military industry enterprises bear their hatred!

No matter which country the military industry companies are in, they have deep personal connections, and the cake is so big. If Heiyun joins, it will definitely seize the shares of other companies. Then the profits of other military industrial enterprises will be reduced accordingly. It is strange that others can agree.

After hearing what the Prime Minister had said, a representative of the military industry company stood up and said: "The British Empire has never authorized local companies military industry licenses in the colonies. This goes against tradition and harms the core interests of local companies. Therefore, this is nothing to discuss and must not be let go." Open this hole."

Several other representatives of the military industry industry congressmen also echoed. After all, this is something that harms their interests and is directly related to their income and assets.

Iron Lady: "If the Heiyun Group is not given a military license, then the imperial soldiers will not be able to use the best means of transportation. If they cannot attack the enemy quickly, they will delay the fighter planes. If your company can produce the ground-effect aircraft in a week , then I don’t need to hold this meeting.”

At this time, a member of the royal family said: "Ladies and gentlemen! The country is currently at war with the Argentines. We must use all means to attack the enemy. If we cannot gather all the forces we can muster, then even victory will suffer heavy losses. Therefore. I hope that everyone can put aside their prejudices and come to the same point of view, and that the interests of the British Empire are above all else."

At this time, the status of the royal family in the country is still very stable, and the speeches of the royal family members directly established the last obstacle for Heiyun Group to advance to the military industry enterprise.

Now that the general direction has been determined, it’s time to get benefits from this matter. After all, the military industrial license cannot be given away, and some benefits must be obtained from Bao Zixuan. Who made him so rich!

Bao Zixuan didn't know that even though he got the military license, he had to pay a lot of money.
