Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

"What's the matter? How did Bailiqu come?"

"Did Sir McLean also invite Bailiqu?"

The sudden appearance of Bailiqu caught everyone on the scene by surprise, especially Henry's group, who were still pleading guilty to Mai Lihao just now, and they kept smearing Bailiqu, but the person involved appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye.

"The murderer you mentioned just now, and Pujiezi is the one? Are you talking about me?" Bailiqu took off his top hat and handed it to the people around him. He raised his civilized stick and pointed at Henry's nose.

Henry shivered with fright, his face pale and dare not say more.

The others were all silent, and looked at the scene in front of them with some puzzlement.

In the end, it was Mai Lihao who stood up to smooth things out, "I'm sorry, dear friends, because I have important matters to discuss today, so I also invited Sir Bailiqu! Do you mind?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I feel like I was put together by this future Hong Kong Governor and invited you, why didn't you say it in advance, and have to wait until they make a fool of yourself?

Mai Lihao was happy in his heart, and he had long wanted to teach these **** a lesson.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

As the initiator of the conference, Lihao Mai invited everyone to sit down again.

Henry, Mike, Allen and the others sat down uneasy, but they didn't dare to look at the stern Bailiqu.

Bailiqu also gave Mai Lihao a lot of face, no longer chasing and fighting, and also found a seat to sit down.

When the coffee was served, the atmosphere eased a little, and Baili Qu, the judicial magistrate, asked on behalf of everyone what Mai Lihao was looking for.

Mai Lihao smiled, looking a little mysterious.

The secretary next to him stepped forward and distributed the documents that had been copied earlier according to Mai Lihao's instructions. One copy was placed in front of the elders.

Bailiqu hesitated for a moment, and reached out to open the file to read.

Others did the same, curiously looking at the contents of the file.

It's okay for everyone not to see it, they are all stunned when they see it!

ICAC? !

Mai Lihao actually wants to set up an anti-corruption organization, and this organization is not controlled by the Hong Kong police department and belongs to an independent and clean government organization, which is unique in the world!

Bailiqu was also taken aback by Mai Lihao's generosity, and felt a little hot when holding the document.

As a Hong Kong judiciary for many years, Bailiqu has seen the matter of bribery and bribery in Hong Kong. He has long known that this custom is fatal and deeply rooted! If he wants to eradicate it, he must have a major operation, but he never imagined that Mai Lihao would have such courage!

According to Bailiqu's calculations, what Mak Lihao should do when he becomes the governor of Hong Kong is to maintain stability, not to make drastic reforms, especially the police sector that is the most difficult to control in Hong Kong!

Thinking of this, Bailiqu had several thoughts in his heart, and he fully understood why Mai Lihao would take the initiative to invite him to discuss countermeasures this time, because without his help, Mai Lihao would not be able to set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption at all!

In fact, it was the same in the last time and space.

At that time, Mak Li-ho was the governor of Hong Kong to clarify his ambition and set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption, requiring corrupt officials to explain the ins and outs of abnormal assets. Those who cannot explain clearly will be punished by the Hong Kong government. In addition to the vigorous and resolute actions, Hong Kong people call it a storm of clean government. Corrupt officials are afraid that clean government officials will come to the door, so please go have a coffee and explain the situation.

Prior to this, various departments of the British Hong Kong government had established anti-corruption departments for a long time. However, these anti-corruption departments are all deaf ears, and they are only good-looking.

The fuse was ignited on June 8, 1973, when the corrupt official Ge Bai successfully absconded, detouring to Singapore to return to his hometown in the UK. The news spread all over Hong Kong immediately, and Hong Kong citizens, who had already suffered from the scourge of corruption, were furious when they heard the news, and their confidence in the government's anti-corruption work fell to a new low. Citizens from all walks of life took to the streets to protest, and the slogans of "anti-corruption, catch Ge Bai" came up one after another.

In order to quell public anger, the then Hong Kong Governor Mak Li-ho had to join forces with his political opponents. Baili Qu, who was then the Secretary of the Justice Department, set up an investigation committee to thoroughly investigate the reasons for Ge Bai's escape and review the anti-corruption work at that time.

In a short period of time, Bailiqu put forward a "Bailiqu Report" investigation report. In this report, Bailiqu repeatedly emphasized that Ge Baian had already filed a case two years ago, but for a long time, there has not been much progress. One key reason is that the anti-corruption office is affiliated to the police department. It is impossible to conduct independent investigation at all, and it is constantly restrained by all parties.

Some of this elbow restraint did not even come from Ge Bai, but from within the police. In the report, Bailiqu analyzed in detail the pros and cons of the anti-corruption department existing within the police agency, and therefore suggested the establishment of an independent anti-corruption agency and the implementation of stricter anti-corruption laws. Governor Mai Lihao attached great importance to this report, and the "Baili Canal Report" was published.

On October 17, 1973, Mak Li-ho again submitted to the Legislative Council to agree to establish a dedicated and independent anti-corruption agency at the Legislative Council meeting. On February 15, 1974, the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption was proclaimed, and the funds were audited by the Secretary for Home Affairs. The Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is appointed by the Governor and is directly under the Governor of Hong Kong and is accountable to the Governor. No one in any other institution has the right to interfere with the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

This determines the supreme power of the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption. Except for the Governor of Hong Kong, no one is within the scope of its investigation and will not be interfered with. After the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the files about Ge Bai were quickly transferred from the Anti-Corruption Office of the Police Force to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which was also the first case of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The final arrest of Ge Bai also established a reputation for the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Therefore, regardless of the previous life or this life, Mai Lihao can't do without the help and assistance of Bailiqu when he wants to set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption!

In fact, Bailiqu is also an advocate of the "ICAC", but Shi Zhijian took the lead in this life, making Shi Zhijian the founder of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

"What do you think when you read the documents in your hands?" Mai Lihao folded his hands and looked at everyone with burning eyes.

Henry, Mike, Allen and the others look at me, I look at you, other judicial chiefs, and high-ranking government officials all looked at each other, and no one spoke.

It's a big deal!

Pull the whole body!

Besides, there are many of them themselves and they are very greedy!

They often take bribes from others. Is it possible to set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption and let the Commission investigate itself?

"I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!" Old Ghost Henry couldn't help but speak.

A month ago, he bought an office building in Mong Kok with greedy money, which has not been renovated yet.

"Yeah! Yes! Hong Kong's economy has just recovered, and everything is mainly about stability. I think it's better not to make it too big!" Ghost Old Mike quickly echoed.

Last week, he collected a Mercedes-Benz sedan owned by a Hong Kong rich man. The first maintenance has not been done yet.

When the other ghosts saw this situation, they were afraid that the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption would cause fire, so they hurriedly followed suit. The general idea was that the establishment of a new department would take a lot of exams, so take it slow and not be too hasty. All government departments voted for Yunyun.

According to what they said, the Independent Commission Against Corruption may not be established in ten or eight years.

Although Mak Lihao had already guessed that the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption would encounter obstacles, he just did not expect that the obstacles would be so great. Almost everyone is against it. How can this work continue?

Mai Lihao had to turn his attention to Bailiqu, who had been silent for a while.

Bailiqu crossed his legs, took a sip of coffee, put it down, and then looked up at the crowd and said, "Is the Independent Commission Against Corruption set up? Well, I support it!"

With a bang, everyone was stunned and looked at Baili Canal in disbelief.

Bailiqu and Mai Lihao are not on the right track. Everyone knows that they are political enemies. Everyone thinks that he will choose to oppose it!

"What, is it unexpected? Or do you have a ghost in your heart?" Bailiqu's sharp eyes swept across the faces of Henry and the others.

Everyone didn't dare to look him in the eye, and they avoided him, typical of a guilty conscience.

"To be greedy is to be greedy, what's there to fear?" Bailiqu's mouth showed a hint of rebelliousness. "The Chinese have a saying that people are doing it, and God is watching! You know how much you are greedy, and how much you are greedy!"

Henry and the others didn't even dare to look up.

The entire conference room was dead silent.

"But don't worry!" Bailiqu looked away from everyone's faces and landed on Mai Lihao, "I believe that our future Hong Kong Governor will punish your crimes lightly! After all, the law does not blame the public! Besides, corruption is not One or two days, everyone is greedy, there is nothing to explain!"

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and look at Mai Lihao together.

Mai Lihao smiled: "Sir Bailiqu is right, the law does not blame the public! So I have prepared a proposal. Those who support the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and those who support the eradication of corruption and corruption, will be forgiven for their past mistakes!"

As soon as Mai Lihao's words came out, they immediately aroused everyone's discussion.

Forget it?

Does that mean no accountability?

But no one dared to take the risk.

After all, it's just word of mouth.

"Of course, there is no basis for words! If you can trust me, Mak Lihao, Sir Baili Qu and I will draft an outline for the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and we will clearly write this commitment in the outline! Our British Empire is most about the spirit of contract and faith is supreme I can assure God that everything I said today is true!"

In order to win the support of everyone, Mai Lihao even used the oath. This shows how strong his determination to set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption is.

Henry and the others were silent again.

In this era, interests are paramount, and sometimes even God can’t be trusted!

Bailiqu laughed and said: "What are you still hesitating about? I don't understand other things, but I can be sure that the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be established no matter now or in the future! As long as corruption is not eliminated, Hong Kong will be in a haze. At that time, when the people protest and complain, it will be difficult for everyone to escape safely!"

Hit the snake and hit seven inches!

Bailiqu's sentence hits the seven-inch point of Henry and the others!

The ghost old Henry rolled his eyes, yes, let it go when it's good, and can't play with fire any more, he immediately raised his hand and said, "I've figured it out clearly, and I support Sir McLean's suggestion!"

Not to be outdone, Ghost Old Mike quickly raised his hand: "I support it too!"

When the other ghosts saw this situation, they raised their hands in a hurry, for fear that if they raised their hands too late, they would be "settled after the autumn"!

"I support!"

"We all support!"

...

These ghosts in the UK are all old fritters in the political arena, and they have extraordinary skills in steering the rudder.

At this moment, all of them expressed their willingness to support Mai Lihao to set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption, eliminate corruption, and return Hong Kong Xintian.

The words were unfounded, and Mai Lihao took the opportunity to take out the joint document and ask everyone to jointly sign the letter, which can be directly submitted to the UK at that time, and the ICAC can be formally established with the approval of the Congress there.

It was okay to talk about it, but when it was really done, everyone hesitated. In the end, it was Da Lao Bailiqu who came forward and was the first to sign and sign on the joint name.

With Bailiqu taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated and signed.

Seeing this, Mai Lihao felt a big rock in his heart.

When he raised his head and was relieved, he happened to see Bailiqu looking towards him.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

It turned out that Mai Lihao had already negotiated a deal with Bailiqu by phone.

Bailiqu supported the New Deal of Mai Lihao, especially the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Mai Lihao continued to hand over the judicial power to him, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which was established at the same time, could give half of the power to Bailiqu.

As for the other half of the power of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Mai Lihao already has a candidate, and that is Shi Zhijian.

After all, the suggestion of the Independent Commission Against Corruption was proposed by Shi Zhijian. In addition, Shi Zhijian has recommended several very good people to Mai Lihao to serve as the backbone members of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

In addition, Mai Lihao also has a little selfishness, that is to use Shi Zhijian to check and balance Baili Canal, and at the same time use Baili Canal to check and balance Shi Zhijian, so that the two of them will not sit together~www.wuxiamtl.com~ When all the signatures are completed Afterwards, Mai Lihao took the document and looked at it carefully, and was very satisfied.

Henry and others made a decision, and a stone fell to the ground and began to make a noise.

"I don't know who came up with the concept of the Independent Commission Against Corruption?"

"Yeah, it looks great no matter how you look at it!"

"It should be Sir Bailiqu, he seems to be very convinced!"

Seeing that Bailiqu not only did not lose power, but because of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in the future, they could not help but start to curry favor with him.

Bailiqu listened to the compliment, and the feeling of "reunion after a long absence" in his heart came back.

"It's not me! I don't have the ability to make such a good suggestion!" Bailiqu rarely takes credit, looking at Mai Lihao and said, "It was proposed by our future Hong Kong Governor!"

"Wow, it turned out to be the work of the Governor of Hong Kong! It really is extraordinary!"

Everyone was flattering again, and they flattered Mai Lihao.

Facing the crowd, Mai Lihao just smiled: "I'm sorry, in fact, I didn't propose this ICAC! There is someone else who makes a great contribution!"

"Who is it?"

"Which elder?"

"Shi Zhijian!"

puff!

The old ghosts almost spit out the coffee!

"Shi Zhijian? He proposed the Independent Commission Against Corruption?"

Everyone looked at each other, and even Gui Lao Bailiqu's eyes widened.

Immediately afterwards, Bailiqu began to feel guilty and panic! Having played against Shi Zhijian for so long, he knows a truth, Shi Zhijian never does nothing in vain!

So will the ICAC be another trap for him?

Bailiqu subconsciously looked at the joint letter, and at this moment there was an urge to grab it!

"I won't be trapped by Shi Zhijian again?" Bailiqu asked himself.
