History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 368
Seeing a large number of Chinese gathered outside the door, the head of the Ghost Office immediately realized that something was wrong, called the police station for support, and then sent Chinese staff to negotiate.When the Chinese clerk walked out of the rolling door, a large number of flying stones hit the clerk's head and face, smashing the clerk's head and blood, and fainted to the ground.

In a panic, Gui Lao hurried forward to pull the wounded back, and then closed the doors and windows.

But the continuous flying stones smashed all the windows and left the office in a mess.The staff of the office did not dare to show their faces, so they had to hide behind the wall and wait quietly for the police to arrive.Fortunately, although the villagers were furious, they still remained rational and did not immediately worsen the situation.

When Sham Shui Po Hua Detective Chief Cai Zhaoguang arrived at the scene with more than 400 criminal police officers, more than [-] estate residents had gathered at the scene, most of whom were young and middle-aged, and there were many members of associations.But Inspector Cai was not afraid in the face of danger, and asked the agents to stand guard with guns, guard the office of the office, and then enter the gate to call the chief of the ghost office, handed out a cigarette, and said: "Don't be afraid, go out and have a good time with the villagers Talk, and report the situation after the talk."

"No matter what the superior boss says, no matter how he does it, he will not blame the person in charge below."

"Thank you, sir." The ghost manager was wearing a suit, with sweat dripping from his forehead, his expression was very nervous, his fingers were trembling as he gripped the cigarette, and when he saw Sir lighting him up, he nodded gratefully, took another deep breath, and calmed down his mood.

The rank of the chief of the district office is not high, and there is a lot of money. It is often a good position for the senior officials of the Secretary of State to place their cronies and confidants.

The ability to handle affairs may not be very strong, but he must be loyal to the Hong Kong government.

It is the tentacles of high-level government orders extending to the grassroots.

"Go."

"I'll help you watch."

With a smile on his lips, Cai Zhaoguang patted him on the shoulder, and accompanied Gui Lao out with several subordinates.

"Apologize!"

"Return the flag!"

"Damn, you dare to take off our national flag, you really should be caught and shot." A middle-aged man who was a veteran of the former dynasty and a black household on Hong Kong Island and the Mainland shouted.The scene was very tense for a while, and high-pitched roars resounded through the estate.

Gui Lao looked at the surging crowd and the sound waves coming, his heart seemed to slow down by two beats, his feet were soft, and his body instinctively took a step back, but he was pushed out by the Chinese detective behind him. The Chinese detective said: "The gate of the same village Let's talk."

"Whoa whoa."

Gui Lao swallowed twice, opened his mouth, but still didn't know how to speak.Cai Zhaoguang had no choice but to raise his hand to signal the crowd to stop. Hundreds of people who were obviously extremely angry gradually calmed down after raising their arms.

Cai Zhaoguang raised his head and shouted: "My fellow citizens, villagers."

"If there is anything you can sit down and talk about calmly and slowly, the chief of affairs is standing here and can't run away. There is no need to engage in such a big fight, right? Sham Shui Po is my jurisdiction, everyone should also look at the old feelings, How much do you sell my Zhaoguang noodles for two cents?"

"Cai sir."

A dock laborer in a white shirt with his arms exposed took a step forward and said, "Ghosts say that Double Tenth celebrations are forbidden, no events are allowed, and a curfew is imposed. No problem! Brothers obey obediently, but put the flag Put it on the roof, hang the badge on the wall."

"Is this a celebration?"

Cai Zhaoguang sighed: "The governor won't allow it."

The laborer yelled: "The governor won't let you sleep with your wife, and you won't sleep either? Double Ten is my mother's birthday, so what's wrong with the brothers celebrating? The roof and walls of the building are the private property of the villagers, so hang whatever you like. "

"The governor's order is greater than the law!"

Cai Zhaoguang pushed the Chief of Guilao Affairs to the front again, and said in a low voice: "Sir, you should say a few words, let the crowd disperse quickly, there are more and more people, and the criminal police in Sham Shui Po can't stop them. Flags are hung all over Sham Shui Po It is not limited to Li Zhengwu Village, it is impossible to transfer all the troops here."

At this time, behind the crowd, members of the club were already passing sticks, weapons, and Molotov cocktails to each other.Gui Lao saw that it was not real from a distance, but he also knew that there was no good thing waiting for the crowds and whispers.With a groan in my heart, I had no choice but to step forward and say, "OK!"

"OK!"

"I can return the confiscated flags and badges to everyone, and give compensation to the housing estates, and then I can appeal to the Governor for everyone, and cancel the curfew at night." He raised his arms high and shouted in out-of-key Cantonese: " Can everyone disperse first to avoid confusion."

"Ah sir's sincerity is already there."

Cai Zhaoguang acted as an intermediary and shouted: "It would be nice to return the flags and badges to you. Hurry up and get out of the way, and don't provoke Sir to find the British army to beat you! When the time comes, I will lead the brothers of the police force to attack you!" I can't resist it!"

"Fuck your mother!" A young man threw a stone, directly smashed Gui Lao's head, and cursed loudly: "You want to come to make a statement? Brothers did nothing wrong, they just want to hang flags, hang badges, and do it. Celebration! Ghost talk doesn't count!"

Cai Zhaoguang quickly raised his arms and shouted, "Stop!"

"Let's talk."

"Don't do anything." Cai Zhaoguang firmly grasped Gui Lao's shoulder with his other hand, lest Gui Lao fainted to the ground.While wiping the blood with his hands, the head of the ghost office manager felt a sharp pain in his head, full of fear, and eagerly wanted to turn around and hide back in the office, but was restrained tightly by the Chinese detective, who couldn't even use the strength to turn around.

Under the scolding of the police officers, more than [-] Chinese people in the housing estate suppressed their emotions.There was even a trace of pleading in Guilo's tone, and he said: "What conditions do you have? Tell me, and I can help convey it to the Secretary of Government Affairs."

A man in his forties with a resolute expression and a well-rounded appearance pushed aside the crowd, and as a representative, he pointed to the ghost at the office and said, "Tell the governor of the ghost, first, let the governor of the ghost give you a hanging of [-] heads." Second, you are allowed to hang blue flags, badges, and Zhongshan statues on all buildings in Hong Kong; third, you, as the representative of the Hong Kong government, published an apology in the newspaper, and kowtowed to the flags and portraits to apologize."

"If one of these three conditions cannot be met, it is disrespectful to our national feelings. All Hong Kong people will not make it easy for you. By the way. If you don't want to see the blue flag, it is OK for us to hang the red flag. In short, we The Chinese want to hang their own flags and celebrate their own festivals every year! Do you hear me?"

Hearing the words, the affairs ghost turned pale, knowing that the Governor of Hong Kong was determined and would never compromise with the Chinese. Otherwise, what would the warning order issued by the Governor's Office be?The prestige of the authorities will be greatly reduced and will be lost in one day.But facing the strong threat from the housing estate representative, Gui Lao had no choice but to nod and said, "Let me make a call."

The Chinese representative did not speak, but Cai Zhaoguang quickly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up."

Cai Zhaoguang raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and saw that it was not too early: "Dear fellow citizens, it will take some time for the office to call and report, and it will take some time to get a reply. After a while, it will be time for lunch. Do you want to leave first?" Let's go home and have lunch?"

"Ge sir, there was a crowd riot in Tai Po District, New Territories. The cause was that the police found that some people were carrying dangerous goods to the street, which caused confusion during the inspection. More than 300 people gathered on the street in Tai Po District and made two demands. The first is to let the customs Release the criminals arrested last time, and the second is to lift the curfew, and the villagers in Tai Po District will have a Poon Choi feast at night."

Governor's Palace.

Ge Hongliang was wearing a suit and a pocket watch. He was dressed like a gentleman. He was puzzled when he heard hundreds of people gathered together for a Poon Choi Banquet. If the custom has nothing to do with the Double Tenth event, then it is allowed."

"As for the release of criminals by the Customs Administration, it is absolutely impossible!"

Yifu was wearing a police uniform, and with his hands tied, he answered aloud: "The villagers in the New Territories hold a Poon Choi Banquet for the Double Ten. Provided by Taiwan Island.”

"Ge sir, an illegal gathering occurred in the Tulu area of ​​Li Cheng Uk Village in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon. The cause was that two office workers removed the flags and badges hanging from the building. More than 400 villagers surrounded the office at the scene."

"The Government Affairs Bureau called, and the Chinese at the scene made three demands. First, send a [-] firecrackers in the name of the Governor's Mansion. Second, allow all buildings in Hong Kong to hang blue flags, badges, and Zhongshan statues. Third, Let the head of the Tuzhi District Office publish an apology on behalf of the Hong Kong government, and kowtow to the flag and the portrait." The Secretary of the Governor stepped on high heels, walked quickly into the office, and reported the situation in concise language.

Ge Hongliang's expression froze in an instant, without any emotion, and said indifferently: "All requests from the Chinese are rejected, and the anti-riot troops are ready to suppress the illegal demonstrations in Hong Kong. Sir Yifu, I want to see a satisfactory Report."

"Yes, sir!"

Yifu stood at attention and saluted, and shouted in a solemn voice.

The governor's secretary watched him turn and leave, knowing that after the incident was handled properly, the next police chief would be Yifu.It just so happens that the illegal actions of the Chinese will also be an opportunity for Yifu to prove his own ability. Stepping on the Chinese as a stepping stone to climb up is a step for many bureaucrats on Hong Kong Island.

But Yifu walked away from the Governor's Mansion without a hint of excitement on his face. After getting in the car and rushing back to the police station, he just said to his subordinates, "Accord with the predetermined plan."

"Yes, sir!"

The police force has the will of the police force!

At the same time, the Governor thought for a long time, and said: "Tell the Customs Department, the Correctional Service Department, the Fire Department, and the Auxiliary Medical Team to be prepared. There are certain police forces behind the Chinese triad organization to help. Yifu may not be able to hold it down." .”

"At a critical moment, let the operatives of the Customs Department, the Corrections Department, and the Fire Department all participate in the explosion-proof campaign."

"Yes!"

"Governor."

The secretary nodded and replied, and went to deliver the order.

At 1000 o'clock, at the gate of the Tuzhi District Office of Li Zhengwu Village, more than [-] Chinese had gathered one after another, most of them had been replaced from ordinary villagers to members of the Number Gang and Chao Yiyong.Ordinary villagers did go home to cook and eat, but the members of the club had just had a full meal, recharged their energy, and came to the place aggressively to gather.

As the launching point of the movement in Kowloon District, Li Cheng Uk Village will definitely be accompanied by the Double Ten Action, leaving a strong mark in the history of Chinese struggle in Hong Kong Island. The most deadly, most extensive and most influential event in history.
