HKTV: How is the Great Owl made?

Many reporters rushed to the ICAC as soon as possible to interview the ICAC, and the ICAC also acquiesced to the matter.

William, the director of the ICAC, wanted to avoid it as much as possible because it was a complete scandal for them.

But he couldn't lie, otherwise the ICAC would have no authority.

After weighing all the pros and cons, William could only acquiesce.

After these reporters got the news they wanted, they began to publicize it.

These days are completely a carnival in the media industry.

In order to win the most subscriptions, these media reporters in Hong Kong Island began to compete to write all kinds of shocking news headlines.

The more eye-catching the news, the better the effect.

They questioned Peng Modai about the ransom of 140 million, questioning why he didn't follow the normal procedures?

After reading the relevant reports pushed to him by his secretary, Peng Modai immediately terminated the meeting.

He had to explain this matter first.

Otherwise, as public opinion fermented.

If he missed the best time to explain, the matter would be a big deal.

He held a press conference with all the important subordinates who attended the meeting and explained it in person.

Facing the reporters like a machine gun. Regarding the questions sent out, he explained:

"Dear reporters, the use of the Governor's special power to approve the use of funds is in line with the current laws of Hong Kong Island."

Then he began to pass the buck, firmly putting the big black pot on the head of the former Commissioner of Police, Hanks.

He said that Hanks was too incompetent and told him a lot of false information, which made him make a not very correct decision.

But he emphasized again that the entire approval of the use of funds was flawless and could withstand any test.

But it didn't matter!

Although Peng Modai's operation was in line with the current laws of Hong Kong Island, the citizens did not buy it.

To use this special power, the premise is to use it properly.

Obviously, the citizens did not think it was very appropriate in the use of the ransom this time.

Even those media reporters controlled by the foreigners were embarrassed to escort Peng Modai.

About one-third of the media controlled or influenced by Tianyao Group questioned Peng Modai more strongly.

It was said that this law was enacted 60 years ago and has long been outdated.

The top priority is to amend this law.

The Governor's use of this power should be effectively supervised and must not be abused.

This questioning quickly resonated with the general public.

They felt that the Governor should also be supervised, otherwise it would be fair and just?

Isn't fairness and justice what you have always advocated?

What you say and do is completely double standards.

This argument left Peng Modai and his men speechless, not knowing how to defend themselves.

Those British-controlled media reporters didn't know how to escort them.

Peng Modai hurriedly announced. The press conference was over.

He left the scene under the protection of a large number of Flying Tigers members armed with live ammunition.

This scene caused a sensation after it was broadcast on TV.

Even Peng Modai's attendance at the press conference now was like being on the battlefield.

The Governor of Hong Kong was so scared, how could the safety of ordinary citizens be guaranteed?

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Synchronous Belt called Jack to his study.

He first scolded him.

Then he was required to catch the robber within 48 hours. Otherwise, he would be dismissed.

Peng Modai had no other choice, he was under great pressure.

The criticism from the Hong Kong media and citizens made him feel even more overwhelmed.

The most urgent task now was to catch the robbers and divert attention.

But another greater pressure was brewing in Great Britain, and this pressure was aimed at the Modai.

However, Peng Modai was still kept in the dark.

...

London!

On the night when Peng Modai held a press conference.

In the Xiudimei high-end community, several people came to the home of Cabinet Home Minister Carre.

These people claimed to be from the London Information Consulting Company.

Carre knew that such information consulting companies were actually international lobbyists.

Because this international tax company was very powerful, Carre did not dare to be as indifferent as he was to other lobbying companies.

So he invited them to his study, and the two talked for more than 50 minutes in this small study. No one knew what they said?

When the boss of the international tax company left Carre's house, Carre immediately picked up the phone and called an important person, talking for more than ten minutes.

Almost at the same time.

At the residence of the leader of the Great British Labour Party, an international lobbyist also had a conversation with the leader of the Labour Party, Rossleas, for more than two hours.

Before leaving, he gave Rossleas a lot of information.

At midnight that day, Rossleas convened a meeting with other important figures of the Labour Party.

The meeting lasted until 3 o'clock in the morning.

The next morning!

At the meeting of the House of Commons, Rossleas led the Labour Party members to criticize the Conservative Party for major flaws in personnel in Hong Kong Island.

And he took out a lot of information to support his point of view. For a while, the entire House of Commons was boiling!

The members of the Labour Party and the Conservative Party were debating fiercely with each other.

This is still a relatively civilized period in modern times.

If it were one or two hundred years ago, the two sides might have drawn their swords and started fighting.

But with the detailed information and the fact that the House of Commons is now dominated by the Labour Party.

The Labour Party gradually gained the upper hand in the debate.

The motion proposed by the Labor Party is to first remove the powers of the Governor of Hong Kong Island from the last generation Peng.

He also proposed that people be sent to Hong Kong Island on the same day to conduct an independent investigation by an independent prosecutor.

However, this bill requires 2/3 of the members to pass. Although the Labor Party has a numerical majority in the House of Commons, it does not reach an overwhelming majority of 2/3.

So the plan was aborted during the voting battle.

However, the Labor Party has the power to propose the motion again and conduct one-by-one review of each of Peng's officials.

Even if Peng Mozai escaped a disaster this time.

Next, Peng Modai's good days came to an end.

The first brother of the Conservative Party immediately called Peng Modai after the meeting of the House of Commons ended and gave him a mysterious explanation.

After listening to the explanation, Peng Modai realized that there was not much time left for him.

If he does not take a more radical approach, he will return to Great Britain in despair, and his career will be over from now on.

After putting down the phone, Peng Modai paced around the office very irritably, with his hands behind his back.

After pacing for more than half an hour, I finally had a plan in mind.

He immediately picked up the phone and called Jack, the acting commissioner of the police, and asked him to rush to his office immediately.

More than 40 minutes later. Jack walked into Peng Modai's office sweating profusely. It would only take half an hour at most to get from the police station to the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

But these days, Jack has to deal with a mountain of things.

Being able to get there in just over 40 minutes was already the fastest speed possible, and he even ran through several red lights in order to get there as quickly as possible.

After arriving at the office, Peng Modai had no time to chat with Jack, so he immediately told Jack his plan.

After listening to Peng Modai's words, Jack asked with a puzzled look:

"Mr. Governor, we haven't carried out the screening yet, are we going to promote the local landscapes of Hong Kong Island?"

"If they are not loyal to us, wouldn't we..."

Peng Modai raised his hand to interrupt Jack's words and said slowly:

"You have the guts to do it."

"If we arrived at the normal time, it would already be too late. The situation is developing very quickly!"

“This is not my decision alone, it is the result of discussions between the superiors and me.

"You try your best to investigate those who are loyal to us. After promoting them, we can slowly examine their loyalty."

"If anyone does not obey and be loyal to us, we can tell him to get out at any time."

"Mr. Governor, I always feel that time is too late?"

“The most critical thing about testing loyalty is that it takes time.”

"Jack, I have already said, there is not so much time now. We must get this matter done first."

"Let's do this. You will make a list within 10 days, and I will ask people from the Ministry of Justice to secretly review it." Peng Modai frowned and said to Jack.

"Okay, Mr. Governor, I'll do it today."

Seeing that Peng Modai had made up his mind, Jack nodded and said.

"There is one more thing I want to inform you. The words "Agent" in front of you will be removed from now on. You are now the Commissioner of the Police Department."

"Deputy Director Foxon will not move, but he will promote a Hong Kong Islander in charge of operations to this position, but on an acting basis!"

Peng Moda said slowly word for word.

"Mr. Governor, now is the time when public opinions are agitated. Who should be promoted?"

"No matter who is promoted, it will give the media more topics to hype up," Jack said to Peng Modai with some worry.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Peng Modai's mouth, and he continued:

"Wouldn't this be better? It can divert attention as much as possible. The people we promote are not people from Great Britain, but people from Hong Kong Island."

"To a certain extent, it can also ease the mood of Hong Kong Islanders."

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. After promoting this Hong Kong Islander to the position of deputy director in charge of operations, let him be responsible for the implementation of this matter."

"If he is really capable of getting this thing done, then remove the word "agent" in front of him."

Hearing what Peng Modai said, Jack immediately understood that he was looking for a policeman from Hong Kong to take the blame.

If it can be done, of course it would be best.

If it doesn't work out, this big black pot will be put on his head, and Peng Modai and himself will have a shield.

Thinking of this, Jack immediately showed a happy smile on his face. Said to Peng Moudai:

"Mr. Governor, your move is really wonderful. I will do it right after I get back."

After Jack left, the smile on Peng Modai's face immediately faded.

Because he knew it wasn't time to pop the champagne yet.

Although the Conservative Party is now in power in the British cabinet.

However, the Labor Party is getting stronger and stronger and is very likely to come to power in the next election.

If he makes a big mistake on Hong Kong Island, it will drag down the election of the entire Conservative Party. At that time, he will definitely be used as a scapegoat.

In addition, his governance is also complicated.

In addition to the police department, there were still a lot of things in the colonial government that he had to handle personally.

The first brother of the Conservative Party gave him a major task, which is to establish a legislative council.

This is the most critical part.

Once this is done, Great Britain's influence on Hong Kong Island will be long-lasting.

The British presence on Hong Kong Island will determine the layout of Hong Kong Island in the next few decades.

It doesn't matter if Peng Modai messes up in other things.

Because this is the best interest of the British people and what the British capital group has at heart.

In other words, this is also the greatest conspiracy of the British people.

On the other side, after Jack returned to his office, he immediately convened a meeting with middle and high-level managers.

At the meeting, he read out Peng Modai's instructions.

The most important instruction is that he officially took office as the Commissioner of Police and successfully removed the word "acting".

He then announced that Foxon was promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Police.

At the same time, Li Wenbin was promoted to acting deputy director of the police department, taking full charge of the kidnapping case of the M countrymen. Yang Jinrong cooperated with Li Wenbin to fully capture the robbers.

After Peng Modai's order was announced, the dozen or so senior British police officials present were extremely stunned.

At first they thought Jack was falsely passing on the imperial edict.

But after seeing Jack take out the letter of appointment signed by Peng Modai, they thought that Peng Modai had gone crazy?

Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous decision be made?

You know, Hong Kong Island has been a British concession for more than 100 years.

For a department like the Police Force, it is the first time that a Hong Kong Islander has reached the level of Deputy Commissioner.

Although there is the word "agent" in front of it, this has already created the history of the Hong Kong Island police.

In the money empire, even though Lei Huhu is extremely powerful, he only belongs to the middle level.

There are still seven or eight levels left before becoming deputy commissioner of police.

The middle and high-level ghost guys immediately asked Jack, why did Mr. Governor make this decision?

Jack didn't answer at all, but called the meeting to an end.

The others left the conference room, and Jack left Li Wenbin and Yang Jinrong behind.

Jack then brought Li Wenbin and Yang Jinrong to his office.

After sitting down, he took out the cigars and divided them, lit one himself and said:

"You should know by now that Mr. Governor has great expectations for you two."

"If this matter ends successfully under your handling, then Li Wenbin, you will officially become the first Deputy Commissioner of the Police Force to be served by a Hong Kong Islander.

"Yang Jinlong, Mr. Governor and I have revealed that the Police Department will have three deputy directors."

"At that time, you will also be appointed as the third deputy commissioner of the police force."

Yang Jinrong nodded more reservedly. Li Wenbin looked like he was in a heavy mood, but in fact he was suppressing his inner excitement.

Because Gui Lao has fallen into the trap just as Mr. Lin said.

Then, Li Wenbin pretended to sigh, looked at Jack and said:

"It is the responsibility of each of us police officers to have such a bad incident happen to Mr. Director!"

"Don't worry, even if the superiors don't appoint me as the deputy director, I will take the responsibility. I will shoulder the responsibility when it comes."

After Yang Jinrong saw Li Wenbin's statement, he immediately echoed:

"Mr. Director, Wen Bin and I have the same opinion."

"This time I will do my best to cooperate with him in catching those gangsters, and I will definitely bring them to justice."

"Give the superiors and the citizens of Hong Kong a satisfactory explanation!" (End of this chapter)
