Hong Kong film: Drowned by the Chiang family? I launch a massive attack on Hung Hing.

Peng Jiakang was very polite to Donak.

Although the official members of the Legislative Council are all appointed by the Governor of Hong Kong, there is one issue: like the Chief Justices of the High Court of Hong Kong Island, these official members serve for life.

Unless someone resigns or retires, the Governor of Hong Kong, despite having the power to appoint, would never actually be in a position to do so.

In the more than 140-year history of Hong Kong Island, there have even been several precedents where no official members of parliament were appointed during the term of office of any governor.

In this situation, the President of the Legislative Council has a great deal of power. He can not only propose bills, but also veto the voting results of Legislative Council members and require them to vote again.

This situation arose because the Americans feared that the governors, who were far from the central government, would have too much power. So they came up with all sorts of disgusting policies to limit the governors and ensure the mainland's influence and control over the colonies.

As a result, the Americans never dreamed that their colonial system, which they had cultivated for hundreds of years, would collapse in less than 20 years under the combined efforts of the Americans and the Russians.

This policy, designed to control the colonies, thus became meaningless and even disgusted the Governor of Hong Kong, one of the few remaining colonial governors in the United States.

Upon hearing Peng Jiakang's polite words, Donald immediately replied, "Governor, you are too kind. You are the highest leader of all institutions in Hong Kong. Whenever you need me, I will put everything aside to see you."

He said, "I wonder what business the Governor has summoned me for today?"

As someone who had worked on Hong Kong Island for nearly 40 years, Donald was perfectly aware of what the current Governor wanted from him, the President of the Legislative Council, but he still asked the question knowingly.

Clearly, this is the political wisdom of a seasoned politician.

You need to find topics for your boss to talk about and make them feel comfortable, rather than making them respond to you or guess what you mean. If your boss is uncomfortable, you will most likely be uncomfortable too.

Clearly, Donald has been very successful in this regard.

Upon hearing Donald's question, Peng Jiakang glanced at Donald and then said with a smile, "Chairman Donald, the reason I came to you is very simple. I think there is a department in Hong Kong Island that has too much power, and I hope to limit the power of this department."

"Mr. Governor, which department are you referring to?"

After Peng Jiakang finished speaking, Donak asked directly.

"Hong Kong Island Police Force".

Peng Jiakang spoke slowly, word by word.

"..."

Upon hearing Peng Jiakang utter the words "Hong Kong Island Police Force," Donald's expression changed slightly.

The Legislative Council holds a very special position on Hong Kong Island. Generally speaking, no matter what changes occur on Hong Kong Island, they will not affect the Legislative Council.

Aside from the anti-corruption campaign of that year.

Back then, thanks to the strong push from Governor MacLehose, the Legislative Council passed two bills that were devastating to the Hong Kong Island Police Force at the time, helping the ICAC to destroy the Hong Kong Island Police Force's era of "money empire".

However, the Legislative Council and the ICAC also paid a heavy price.

Driven to desperation, the police officers stormed the ICAC headquarters and the Legislative Council, resulting in two exceptionally horrific bloodshed incidents.

More than 40 ICAC investigators were killed and over 100 injured by police officers.

While things were a little better for the Legislative Council, they were still not having an easy time. Four government-appointed members who failed to escape in time were beaten to death on the spot, two elected members were seriously injured, and more than a dozen Legislative Council staff members were also beaten to death.

It was precisely because of these two bloody incidents that even a tough governor like Mak Lei Ho had to bow to the police force and sign a governor's order, declaring that all police officers who had accepted bribes before the day the order was signed would be pardoned, which stabilized the Hong Kong Island police force.

However, this clash between the police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) left a deep impression on both the ICAC and the Legislative Council.

Senior officials in the ICAC began to cooperate with senior police officials, while the Legislative Council tried to avoid passing bills that would anger the police.

"Chairman Donald, do you have some concerns?"

Seeing that Donak remained silent, Peng Jiakang smiled and asked.

"Mr. Governor, what kind of legislation do you intend to pass to limit the power of the police force?"

Instead of directly expressing his concerns to Peng Jiakang, Donak asked another question.

“First of all, the term of office of the Commissioner of Police is clearly inappropriate, as it is currently indefinite. I suggest that it be reduced to a term of four years, or at most one term.”

Peng Jiakang said slowly.

"There shouldn't be any problem with that."

Donak nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

"The second point is the funding issue of the Hong Kong Island Police Force. Currently, the Hong Kong British government has too little oversight over the police force's funding. I hope that the Hong Kong Island Police Force will submit a funding application to the Hong Kong British government every year. After the Hong Kong British government reviews the application, it will determine the amount of funding to be allocated to the police force. After the funding is allocated, the use of the funds by the police force must be subject to joint supervision by the ICAC and the Hong Kong British government."

Peng Jiakang spoke calmly.

"..."

Upon hearing Peng Jiakang's words, Donak was slightly taken aback.

He was curious about what the Hong Kong Island Police Force had done to offend the new Governor, that they would be targeted by Peng Jiakang in this way.

First, the term of office for the Commissioner of Police was shortened to reduce the possibility of centralizing power within the police force. Moreover, with a shorter term for the top leader, the subordinates would have more ulterior motives, making it difficult for the police force to have a unified voice.

The second opinion was even more extreme, essentially cutting off the police force's purse strings and resources. Whatever the police force wanted to do or how it wanted to do it required the approval of the Hong Kong British government and the ICAC.

If these two points are implemented, the power of the Hong Kong Island Police Force will inevitably be greatly weakened.

But isn't Peng Jiakang worried that the police force might object?

Thinking of this, Donald looked at Peng Jiakang and asked, "Governor, I would like to know why such strict restrictions are needed on the Hong Kong Island Police Force?"

"Chairman Donald, why do you ask that question? Is it really that difficult for your Legislative Council to pass these two items?"

Peng Jiakang did not answer Donak's question, but instead asked him the same question.

"Mr. Governor, you've only just arrived in Hong Kong Island, so there are some things you might not know. To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but it happened more than 10 years ago..."

Donald told Peng Jiakang directly about the incident where the police stormed the Legislative Council.

He wasn't being cowardly with the police; rather, he needed Peng Jiakang to step in and handle the situation with them.

"Chairman Donald, since you are so frank, I will be frank with you as well. In fact, the Hong Kong British government and I have lost control of the Hong Kong Island Police Force. Now the Hong Kong Island Police Force is completely controlled by Chinese, and it is even very likely to be controlled by a Chinese gangster named Li Jun. This is bad news for me, for the Hong Kong British government, and for Hong Kong Island."

"Therefore, in order to prevent the Hong Kong Island Police Force from doing anything that would endanger the rule of the British Hong Kong government under Li Jun's manipulation, we must take some measures to counter it."

Peng Jiakang looked at Donak and slowly began to speak.

"..."

Upon hearing Peng Jiakang's words, Donald was slightly taken aback. He never expected that one day, a Hong Kong governor would tell him that the British Hong Kong government had lost control over its subordinate departments.

This is simply a magical joke.

But Donak also knew very well that Peng Jiakang wouldn't joke with him, so...

“Okay, Mr. Governor, I promise you, our Legislative Council will pass the bill restricting the Hong Kong Island Police Force as soon as possible.”

Although Donald is not a pure American, he has always considered himself an American and naturally puts the interests of the United States first.

"Thank you, Chairman Donald."

Peng Jiakang looked at Donak and thanked him sincerely.

“Mr. Governor, you are too kind. It is the duty of our Legislative Council to uphold the rule of the British Hong Kong government on Hong Kong Island, and it is also the duty of me, the President of the Legislative Council.”

Donald said slowly, word by word.

"Chairman Donald, how long will it take for your Legislative Council to pass a bill restricting the police force?"

Peng Jiakang continued to ask.

"3 days."

Donald replied immediately.

"Good, good, Chairman Tang, for the Queen!"

Peng Jiakang said with a determined look.

"For the Queen!"

Donak nodded in agreement.

After that, Peng Jiakang and Donald did not waste any more words and parted ways directly. Donald left the Governor's residence, while Peng Jiakang returned to his office to meet his second guest, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong British Government, Shi Kang.

few minutes.

"Mr. Governor, I apologize for keeping you waiting."

After Peng Jiakang entered his office, he looked at Shi Kang, who was already waiting there, and said with a smile.

"Governor, were you just meeting with Donald?"

Shi Kang ignored Peng Jiakang's polite words and went straight to the point.

“Mr. Chief Executive, you should be well aware that we have now lost control of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, so I am preparing to…”

Peng Jiakang recounted his conversation with Donald to Shi Kang in detail.

Upon hearing Peng Jiakang's words, Shi Kang's eyes lit up. He looked at Peng Jiakang and said with a smile, "Governor, your move is brilliant. As long as we cut off the money in the Hong Kong Island Police Force 7, even if Li Jun controls the Hong Kong Island Police Force, he will be nothing more than a toothless tiger, and the threat will be greatly reduced."

“Mr. Chief Executive, that’s not all. I plan to establish an Emergency Management Bureau outside of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, and transfer some of the powers of the heavy firepower units such as the Flying Tigers, the Emergency Unit, and the Mobile Force to this Emergency Management Bureau.”

"At the same time, we gave this emergency response bureau a lot of funding and power, and 690 eventually made it replace the most elite part of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, turning the Hong Kong Island Police Force into a department that can only handle cases."

Peng Jiakang smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

“Governor, if this is the case, Li Jun has put in so much effort in the early stages, only to end up with an empty police force. Wouldn’t he be furious?”

At that moment, a hint of joy flashed in Shi Kang's eyes, and a 'bright' smile appeared on his face.

"Li Jun has angered us so many times, it's only right that we let him get angry this time."
