History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 379 The Governor Apologizes (I wish the brothers a healthy Dragon Boat Festival)
"Thank you, sir."

The governor has already given top honors.

He sir, Jian sir is very satisfied, and the number of six bravery medals does not seem to be many, but it is enough to reward the brothers who have worked hard, and the police force can also take the opportunity to promote Chinese police officers.

"He sir, what's the situation outside?" The Governor asked at this time: "Can the Military Intelligence Department take over the security of the Governor's Mansion?"

"Ge sir."

He Dingxian replied aloud: "The thugs on the streets have been completely eliminated, but it is suggested that the Military Intelligence Department take over the Governor-General's Palace after the negotiations are officially concluded and the state of martial law is lifted."

"it is good."

Ge Hongliang nodded lightly, knowing that Sir He is a master who does not see rabbits or scatter eagles.

"Where are the [-] firecrackers?"

He Dingxian asked aloud.

Ge Hongliang was stunned: "Preparing."

"Ge sir." He Dingxian said: "The Chinese representatives are already waiting for an interview at the Chaofu Restaurant in Central. I suggest that you prepare firecrackers and send them to the Chinese representatives immediately. This is also a good fortune and shows the governor's sincerity."

Ge Hongliang's heart trembled a little: "Shall I personally deliver firecrackers to the Chinese representatives?"

This move will undoubtedly make the governor fall off the altar and lose the deepest awe in the hearts of the Chinese at the bottom.
The governor's secretary heard the words: "He sir, according to the terms, it is enough to send firecrackers in the name of the governor's mansion. The current social situation is unstable, and it is not appropriate for the governor to leave the mansion."

He Dingxian glared at the secretary, and said solemnly: "The governor personally sent firecrackers to the door to show his sincerity. More than a dozen Chinese representatives are waiting in the restaurant. Do you want to plunge Hong Kong Island into turmoil again!"

"Axiong, take him out!"

After receiving the order, Yan Xiong immediately walked into the gate, handcuffed the governor's secretary, and dragged him vigorously out of the office.The governor's secretary twisted his shoulders, struggled vigorously, and shouted: "George sir!"

"grid sir"

Ge Hongliang had a gloomy expression on his face, but he was indifferent to his subordinate being dragged away.

This is the Governor's Mansion!
The official residence that symbolizes British colonial power!

But now it is occupied by a group of Chinese police officers, and the very high-ranking Governor's Office officials arrest it as soon as they say it. It can be seen that the Chinese police officers no longer take the Governor's authority seriously.Although the Governor-General holds the greatest executive power, he has lost control of the largest force.

He understands that the police force is trying to show their prestige on purpose!
"it is good."

Ge Hongliang said: "I'll send someone to prepare firecrackers immediately, and personally deliver them to the restaurant for the Chinese representatives."

"It's hard work, sir."

He Dingxian put down his teacup and agreed solemnly.

Afterwards, the governor summoned an official again to deal with the purchase of firecrackers.

A string of [-] firecrackers can be described as long red, thick and long on the ground, and can be pulled more than ten meters.If it wasn't for some important celebration or festival, very few people would set it off. Fortunately, every pyrotechnic shop will put in two or three bottoms of the box.

The price of one piece is 50 yuan, and there is a chance to sell one or two pieces, and the profit is more than ten strings of thousand-head cannons.

About ten minutes later, a handsome ghost officer in a suit returned to the mansion, bowed and said, "Sir, the firecrackers have been placed in the car."

"He sir?"

Ge Hongliang turned his head to look at the Chinese.

He Dingxian stood up with a smile: "Sir, please go."

Ge Hongliang nodded lightly, took the lead out of the governor's mansion, and then took two assistants to board the governor's car with the crown license plate, and then drove down Taiping Mountain together with five police cars, and drove straight to Chaofu Restaurant.

Five motorbikes of the Mounted Police opened the way ahead with lights flashing.

Although the governor is already under the control of others, there is no lack of ostentation and etiquette.

Baifanyu, Jiang Tiansheng, Chaozhou porridge, Ge Zhixiong, Dabideng and others were on the second floor pushing cups and changing cups, feasting, when suddenly someone saw the mounted policeman clearing the way and driving towards the restaurant, got up incredulously and said, "Jiang Sheng."

"He sir is back?"

Jiang Tiansheng lowered his wine glass, took two steps towards the window, saw the leading car, and said in a daze, "It's the governor."

The crooked chicken swallowed.

Everyone lost all intention of drinking, and it was hard to guess why the governor came to the restaurant.They are just the big bosses of the triad society, no matter how powerful they are in the world, they are dogs in front of the boss of the chamber of commerce and the captain of the police.

What's more, the governor of Hong Kong!

The convoy stopped at the entrance of the restaurant under the shocking eyes of everyone, and immediately a group of plainclothes detectives got out of the car first, and guarded the entrance of the restaurant. After goodbye, Sir He and Sir Jian got off the car together, and followed the governor and two assistants to the restaurant.

Seeing the Governor coming up in person, the bosses suddenly realized Sir He's intention to make them wait. It turned out that he wanted the Governor to come to the scene to make peace.

Baifanyu, Ge Zhixiong, Datoulin, Waiji and others looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't know whether their faces were flushed from drinking too much alcohol or they were emotional. Many people's fingers were trembling slightly.

After Ge Hongliang climbed up to the second floor, without any hesitation, he went up to shake hands with Baifanyu, showing very sophisticated political ability, and said in English: "It's a pleasure to meet you, thank you for your efforts for the security of Hong Kong Island."

He Dingxian introduced by his side: "Everyone, this is Sir Ge Hongliang, the British Governor-General in the UK. Sir Ge Hongliang made a special trip to the restaurant to thank the Chinese representatives for their efforts to calm the social situation, and specially sent a bunch of ten Thousands of firecrackers to thank."

"At the same time, it is also an apology for the improper handling of Hong Kong government officials on Double Ten."

Ge Zhixiong, Waiji, Jiang Tiansheng and others rushed forward and shook hands tremblingly.

Don't look at this group of people swearing at the governor all day long and greeting the whole family. When they really see the governor, they should bend down and bow.People living in the world are all sophistication, as if they were not the ones who cursed the governor before.

Ge Hongliang also has no pretensions. Regardless of whether there are wine or oil stains in the hands of the Chinese representatives, they all clasped their hands to express respect.

After the big bosses shook hands with Ge Hongliang, they didn't even turn their minds, but after listening to Chief He's explanation, they knew in their hearts that the police force was behind the scenes.

The Governor is here to bow and apologize!
The governor wanted to do things quickly, so after shaking hands, he immediately turned around and asked his subordinates to take out [-] firecrackers.After obtaining Sir He's consent, the firecrackers were hung on bamboo poles outside the second floor of the restaurant. The governor himself took out the lighter, lit the firecrackers and threw them out.

"Crackling."

"Crackling."

The firecrackers exploded immediately, creating a cloud of gray mist, splashing red confetti, and hitting many people, but the Chinese people present were all excited except for taking two steps back, looking at the firecrackers with joy on their faces .

Half a day ago, they were prisoners of the military. A few hours later, the governor came to apologize in person.This honor undoubtedly made the bosses feel that it was worth the money. Jiang Tiansheng, Chaozhou porridge and others even felt moved to die for their confidantes.

He Dingxian has no actual benefits to distribute to the club bosses, only by sharing the honor of the winner can he win the hearts of the brothers.Many associations have suffered many casualties, and a bow and apology from the governor is enough to pay back.

2 minute later.

The sound of firecrackers gradually stopped, the governor finished his apology, turned around and went downstairs to leave.He Dingxian asked Jian Baoning to accompany him, while he stayed in the restaurant and had another drink with the club bosses. After seeing the governor bowing his head, the bosses were afraid of the power of the Hong Kong government and naturally afraid of ghosts. ,Disappear.

The authority of the Governor's Mansion in the Jianghu community has completely collapsed. In the future, the community will only fear the police force holding guns, and will no longer be afraid of the Governor who lives on Mount Taiping.If He Dingxian still needs to rely on the power of the community, it will become simple and easy.

The future of the Double Tenth Festival is gone, but until the return of Hong Kong Island, there are still many major events that have not yet appeared.
the next day.

morning.

The governor officially announced the lifting of the state of martial law, and the police force withdrew from Victoria Peak and handed it over to the Military Intelligence Department.Governor Ge Hongliang published a signed letter on the "South China Daily", apologizing to all Chinese citizens in Hong Kong for the improper handling of the Hong Kong government during the Double Tenth Festival.

The director of the Tuzhi District Affairs Office of Li Zhengwu Village and several staff members came to the Tuzhi District building and knelt and kowtowed to the statue of Sun, with thousands of citizens watching.None of the foreign language newspapers reported on this incident of kneeling and kowtowing, but newspapers such as "Oriental Daily", "Wen Wei Po", "Sing Tao Daily" not only reprinted the governor's letter from "Nanhua Daily", but also published the staff kneeling at the same time. Apology photo.

Once the news was published, it became the headlines in Hong Kong.

While the citizens were shocked, they were also very grateful that the turmoil that lasted for five days was finally over.

Nanyang, Taiwan, Europe and the United States have also reproduced this incident.Although the incident did not develop into an international incident after all, Hong Kong Island is geographically important, and local incidents will be magnified and become a small influential international news.

Among them, Taiwan Island is the most popular. When Hong Kong Island was held accountable, Taiwan Island tried its best to clear the blame. When Hong Kong Island bowed its head, Taiwan Island vigorously boasted that the Chinese in Hong Kong Island were patriotic.This move seems to be a hot topic on Taiwan Island, but it has actually caused dissatisfaction among many citizens and many associations on Hong Kong Island.

The Nanyang region firmly supports the Chinese in Hong Kong Island. As long as the Chinese in Hong Kong Island confront the ghosts and aggravate the worries of the ghosts, the Nanyang Chinese will support them from the bottom of their hearts.On the contrary, many newspapers in the north, except for a few mentions of news, did not report the incident extensively.

He Dingxian encircled the Hong Kong Island Police Force as a site, and engaged in Chinese mountainism. In fact, it has the effect of elevating the status of the Chinese and actively striving for national independence and the rights and interests of the Chinese. However, the methods are full of blood and self-interest is the main purpose. suitable for publicity.

Historically, the three-day Double Ten campaign was expanded to five days, 443 people were injured, 59 people died, and 107 people were injured in the police force, which became 2129 people were injured, 230 people died, and 328 public officials were injured.

Among them, most of the public officials were the Marine Police Department, the Office and other departments, and 12 people were injured in the police force.

In the overall injury data, Chinese accounted for only 30.00%, foreigners or those related to British capital accounted for 70.00%, and the death toll even included the Hong Kong Island Garrison.This battle completely wiped out Ge Hongliang's achievements of ten years in power, and strongly interrupted the governor's decision to join the disciplined forces.
