Chapter 510 New Director

Chapter 510 New Director

"I support Sir Ho's work, and I even more support the restructuring of the police force."

Kunxian took the lead in saying: "Since the new system is adopted to select the chief, I will no longer serve as the chief. After the new chief of police is elected, I am willing to retire voluntarily and cooperate with the handover of the police force."

"Thank you, Mr. Kun."

Sir He was not surprised by Kunxian's attitude.

Skeming also nodded: "Sir He's opinion is very reasonable, but at the constitutional committee level, one person, one vote, how should the eligibility of the new director be defined?"

"Are all directors at the director level eligible to run for election, or are they at the constitutional committee level?"

If everyone at the director level is eligible to run, there will be more than ten candidates. If it is at the constitutional committee level, there are currently more than 80 people, and there may be as many as 200 people in the future.

He Dingxian said: "As a disciplined force, the police force is an action-oriented force. The election of the person in charge is for the sake of openness, justice and fairness. It is also to introduce more people to supervise the power change of the police force. It will destroy the ethos of the police force."

"If the eligibility for election is delegated to the director level, all high-level work in the future will focus on votes and political achievements. No one will consider the future social development and make long-term plans. Therefore, I suggest that the eligibility for election be locked at the deputy At the director level, only two deputy directors can participate in the election."

The expressions of Kunxian, Skaiming and Ge Bai all changed, each thinking.

There is a saying that small meetings are held for big things, and big meetings are held for small things.

The final decisions on many matters were reached in private conversations between a few people. Originally, the three of them had already guessed that Sir He would elect a new director, completely renew the power structure of the police force, and even thought that Sir He might personally participate in the election.

Became the first Chinese director, the first chief of the disciplined forces elected through the system, but he did not expect Sir He to personally set a hurdle and set the rank as deputy director of operations.

Then the next chief must be Ge Bai!

"He sir, if the qualification for the election is set at the deputy director level, I'm afraid it will not be much different from the previous appointment." Skeming knew that he had no chance to take the position, so he didn't make up his mind. Instead, he said seriously: "After all The Hong Kong government’s previous appointment of a new director also had to consider his resume, prestige, and ability to actually control the police force.”

"As a disciplined force, the police force has always attached great importance to the prestige of the chief. Without a convincing resume, the officers below will not be convinced."

He Dingxian smiled and replied: "The creation of power is from the bottom up, but the delegation of power is from the top. The police force works from the bottom up and obtains the qualification to grant self-power, which is the greatest achievement of the restructuring."

"Although you are right, every officer must be good enough and able to take on the overall situation, otherwise why should we listen to his orders? In fact, every system hopes to elect capable and disciplined officials. It can be the same person, but who has the power to appoint is the most critical."

"It takes two years for one person to serve one term. It is not a big problem to use the wrong person for two years. The power of appointment is ten years, 50 years."

"I understand."

Skeming sighed and understood that restructuring is not a matter of appointing or not appointing, but of who appoints and who obeys the appointment.Moreover, the Chinese faction of the police force is already in power and holds the right to appoint, and [-]% of the future power will be in the hands of the Chinese faction.

In order to seize the power of the police force from the Chinese faction, in the past it was only necessary to overthrow the Chinese representatives. In the future, it is necessary to defeat a whole set of systems, starting with amending the law.This difficulty has increased geometrically, and it is almost an impossible problem.

At least, in the remaining 25 years of the British lease, there is no hope of doing it at all.

"Amazing."

He had to admire Sir He's political means.

However, He Dingxian just implements the idea of ​​being ruthless and decisive in doing things. The longer he spends in the political arena, the more he can grasp the key points of politics.Understand that fighting against one within the system is only the lowest level, fighting against the system is only the middle level, and fighting with the system is the highest level.

Whenever he has the opportunity, he always storms the system, revises the system, and targets the vital points of political opponents.In the eyes of a group of ghost bureaucrats, it is naturally cruel and sharp, and it is in Bakua that it is the truth.Kun Xian answered the words in a timely manner: "Then the next police chief will be born among Sir Ge and Sir Si."

"He sir."

"Who do you think has a better chance?"

He glanced at Sir He.

Skeming did not wait for Sir He to speak, and immediately said: "My ability is not good enough to be the director, and I will voluntarily give up the election."

"it is good."

He Dingxian nodded happily, and said with a smile: "I also support Sir Ge more."

"what?"

Ge Bai was still engrossed in the last round of discussions, his heart was pounding, and he wondered if he would be the next director, right?Unexpectedly, Sir He made a statement on the spot and appointed him to be the next director of the department by default.

With Mr. He's appeal in the police force today, a single sentence can get the constitutional committee to pass unanimously. Opening his mouth to support it is tantamount to being elected.

"what?"

He breathed a sigh of relief again, and just now he came back to his senses, widened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Thank you sir for your support, I will definitely serve the police force well, protect the social order of Hong Kong Island, and the safety of all citizens' lives and property."

"Sit and sit."

He Dingxian waved his hands and quickly asked Ge Bai to sit down. Ge Bai just flew up from the chair, and his hands were already raised to salute. Hearing this, he sat down on his knees very obediently.

"There is still at least more than half a year until the first election of the Commissioner of Police. Within half a year, the police force needs to complete departmental reorganization and internal reforms. It is up to you to lead the relevant work to better accumulate political foundation."

"Sir, you must cooperate carefully."

Skemin straightened his back and said solemnly: "Yes, sir!"

He Dingxian didn't run for the election of the new director, not because he was pure-hearted, but out of emotion, he let Ge Bai sit for one term to enjoy himself.The main reason is that I don’t want to disturb the power class. If the scope of candidates is extended to senior assistant directors, then the future senior assistant directors will likely form their own faction.

Every person who is qualified to be in power is essentially qualified to form political power.

He didn't want the position of director to be held for a few terms, and a large group of deputy directors and senior assistant directors under him would be eyeing them, wanting to be promoted.At that time, the police force will become like an association, engaging in black money and vote politics for a position.

If there is a clear rank now, don't even think about running for the election if you haven't been the deputy director, just obediently do your job well, and obey the orders of your superiors as your bounden duty.

Only such a police force can continue the tradition of the disciplined force and be able to explode its combat effectiveness. The restructuring must be changed for the better, and it is impossible to go back and forth.In terms of Sir He's current influence, it doesn't really matter if he was elected later or earlier, laying a good foundation is more important than rushing to the top.

"Sir Ge, Sir Si, you two should come up with a plan as soon as possible. If it is done well, Sir Si can continue to cooperate with Sir Ge next year." He Dingxian plans to use Skeming for another term, and Skeming will cooperate with the police. The team should do a good job in clearing the colonial faction.

In the future, there will only be one faction in the police force, and that is the Chinese force!The Chinese can be divided into different factions, which is a natural development trend, but Gui Lao can either blend in or get out, there is no second choice.

Even the pro-Chinese faction that is up for grabs will no longer exist. Every British police officer can only enjoy the same treatment as Chinese police officers. In the future, they will even be much more difficult to mix with Chinese police officers. This is the change of the times and affects everyone.

Of course, this process can take at least two to three years, and can take up to five years. The continued appointment of Shi Keming is not because he is obedient, but because he has witnessed the rise of the Chinese, can do things with ease, and will no longer have unrealistic expectations. fantasy.

Seeing that there is still a chance to stay in the post next year, Skeming immediately lifted his spirits, and replied in a solemn voice: "Please rest assured, sir."

"We must do it as soon as possible." Ge Bai turned his head and glanced at Skeming, his eyes had changed from hostility to scrutiny, and they all knew Sir He's idea of ​​restructuring, and then Sir He communicated again and put forward the suggestion Concrete and detailed considerations are naturally the work of the two officers.

Sir He's restructuring plan is also very simple, except that the Director was born by election, the others are all copied from the Hong Kong Island Police Force of later generations.Because the Hong Kong police in later generations is actually a very mature force. As long as the main body of power is ensured, the system can be copied.

"As for the rewards and punishments of the police force, I have made a list, Mr. Kun can refer to it."

He Dingxian took out a document on the desktop and handed it to Kunxian who was in front of him. Kunxian took the document casually and said with a smile, "Thank you Sir, I will definitely refer to your opinion more."

Everyone here knew that Kun Xian didn't even need to read this document because he didn't have the power to change even a word.

He Dingxian said very politely: "The commendation order can be issued as soon as possible, but the award and promotion need to wait until the end of the restructuring, according to the departmental level of the new system."

"definitely no problem."

Kun Xian readily agreed.

"Okay, I've invited a few officers of the disciplined forces to have dinner together in the afternoon, so I'll take a step first." He Dingxian got up and said goodbye when he saw that the conversation was over. Ge Bai and Skaiming also left together, leaving only Kun First, a person stared out the window in a daze.

Obviously, the scenery of Hong Kong Island remains the same, and the furnishings in the office have not changed, but the whole city has changed.

Since the restructuring involves all disciplined forces, it is natural to communicate with the chiefs of other disciplined forces. Apart from the police force, the most exaggerated restructuring is the ICAC. After the entire ICAC was reorganized, a total of 21 police officers were dealt with More than 200 people were injured, and more than [-] people were suspended from duty, waiting for the governor's order.

The rest of the army has clear functions and powers, so there are not many places that need to be reorganized. Apart from the same change to internal elections, the change of the system is not obvious.However, with the internal election decree taking effect, it is only a matter of time before Chinese forces take control of all disciplined forces.

In the future, He Dingxian is fully capable of suppressing other disciplinary force chiefs as the spokesperson of the Chinese forces and acting as an arbiter.The commanders of the various disciplined forces can't do anything to save face, but it is almost impossible to completely control other disciplined forces.Because the political forces that have sprouted within the Chinese cannot unite closely around He Dingxian without external enemies.The police force is at most the chief rudder of the disciplinary forces, while officers of the customs, correctional services and other forces will all play the role of incense masters.

 Chapter 2 will be updated tomorrow. I have been out on errands for the past two days, and it takes a lot of time on the road, but the amount of updates remains the same.
