Chapter 307: It was the Governor who did it
The Governor's entourage must have been the biggest in Hong Kong, with six Toyota motorcycles from the Traffic Police District, flashing police lights and honking their sirens, clearing the way and escorting him.

The driver was a white mounted policeman from the VIP escort team. Each of them was tall and strong, wearing a helmet and a traffic vest, and looked very majestic when they appeared.

Five Mercedes-Benz sedans formed a convoy, following the Governor's Rolls-Royce.

The passengers in the car were from the Fourth Group of the Special Branch of the Police Force, commonly known as "G4", a paramilitary combat force called the VIP Protection Group.

After the motorcade drove into Apliu Street, six VIP escort police officers first stopped their motorcycles in the middle of the road, lowered the kickstands, turned off the engines and lights, leaving only the sirens still flashing, the sound echoing throughout the street.

Five G4 agents' work vehicles stopped. Twelve G4 agents wearing suits, wired headphones, and guns on their waists pushed the doors and got out of the vehicles one after another with straight postures. They looked around and arranged their positions.

Chief Inspector Vincent, the leader of the G4 operation team, trotted forward, opened the door of the Rolls-Royce, and bowed to invite the Inspector to get out of the car.

Deputy team leader, Senior Inspector Fang Zhixing, with a gun in hand and a serious look on his face, led his men to clear the way in front of the red carpet for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

With the cooperation of the local military uniforms, not all G4 agents had to be sent on board. Six were assigned for close protection, three were on guard in the outer circle, and three were left behind to guard the car.

The reporters were agitated, holding up their microphones and asking questions loudly. The questions were very sharp. Some questioned whether MacLehose resigned to avoid the "Sino-British negotiations", some accused him of being "weak and incompetent, not daring to promote democratic governance", and some asked about the next governor of Hong Kong Island.

It turned out that at the end of 1981, after ruling Hong Kong for ten years, MacArthur submitted his resignation letter to Downing Street. This was generally seen by the outside world as a signal of avoidance, avoiding the "Sino-British negotiations" that were being promoted by the victory of the Conservative Party of his family and the rise of the "Iron Lady" Thatcher.

As a "deputy officer" who was a diplomat, MacLehose was not a politician, but was appointed by the royal family to manage the leased land.

It is a professional instinct for an administrative officer not to get involved in sensitive events. You can't expect the branch manager to take the blame for the chairman.

During his ten years in power in Hong Kong, he has seized the historical opportunity to improve Hong Kong's foreign trade economy and financial markets, and also balanced Sino-British relations and saved Hong Kong from war.

Decentralize political power, promote Chinese people, take in immigrants, and enrich the population.

Hong Kong Island is well governed and its economy is growing at the fastest rate. He has become the longest-serving governor in Hong Kong Island with the best reputation among the people.

Although they did a lot of things like colluding with real estate developers, letting in foreign capital to stir up trouble, manipulating the financial market, and accepting Vietnamese refugees, when Hong Kong's economy was booming, it achieved a multi-winged takeoff with soaring housing prices, soaring commodity prices, and soaring leverage ratios.

But Hong Kong people are finally taking off, with employment rates and incomes rising, and they are living a much better life than in the hard times of the 1950s and 1960s.

Even if there are historical laws and the trends of the times, if one can seize the window and take advantage of the situation, he can be considered a capable official.

If we replace him with a governor who comes from a military or bureaucratic background, it is not certain that he will be able to achieve such political achievements.

It is actually very easy to understand the relationship between Hong Kong people and him. If a godfather can feed you, you should say a few good words to him, but you cannot expect him to pay for your education or help you buy a house!

After Downing Street approved his resignation, the renovation and reconstruction project of Apliu Street became the last "new town construction" project promoted during Governor MacLehose's term of office.

With economic growth in his first two terms, promoting urbanization in Kowloon and the New Territories was what MacLehose attached great importance to in his last term.

Gradually demolishing the old and dirty Apliu Street and renovating it to create an electronics commercial city will not only promote infrastructure, but also develop the electronics street into a true electronics distribution center.

Strengthen the sales of Hong Kong's electronics industry and add momentum to the development of the electronics industry. With such a commemorative project, the Governor will definitely attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony given his affection for Hong Kong.

After all, Mac was a foreigner who disobeyed the British government's ban and went to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the first Chief Executive. The ten years he spent in power in Hong Kong Island were his pride, and if he worked for another ten years, he would probably apply for naturalization. What other foreigners saw as a loss of power and territory, he saw as an adopted son looking for his parents, and he still burst into tears.

Lin Jiang supported himself with his cane and managed to stand steadily. His eyes were red and bloodshot as he cursed, "If you don't pick that star and poke the sky to pieces, the big circle dragon won't have fun!"

The Sham Shui Po gang leader Wei Lao B looked anxious. He felt the cigarette was too hot, so he threw it away hastily. He said with a face full of fear, "Xiang Sheng, you are harming the foreigners, not the governor. You can't play with me."

"Those who are going to die will be finished."

Mule, a thief in Mong Kok, quickly chimed in: "Xiang Sheng, you are helping Daquan Long, not being his scapegoat, Xiang Sheng!"

Du Lianshun looked panic-stricken. The famous tiger of Tsim Sha Tsui was like a cat that was afraid of strangers.

Four-eyed Dragon made up his mind and said solemnly: "I am the fish and others are the butchers. Brothers, everything has been arranged. If you don't do anything, you will be shot!"

Wei Lao B said, "At worst we can just run away, sir."

His branch in Sham Shui Po was the first to be hit and was the most fearful, but Lin Jiang, Du Lianshun and others were still rational. They knew that they were already on the edge of a cliff and had to venture into either the dragon's den or the tiger's den.

"Damn it!" Four-Eyed Dragon snatched a folding knife from the henchman's waist, pressed the spring, and stabbed the knife into Wei Lao B's back. Blood immediately splattered all over him.

Du Lianshun and Lin Jiang had blank expressions on their faces. Muleboy was trembling with fear and dared not say a word.

"If you keep talking nonsense, don't wait for 97, I will enforce the family rules first." Four-eyed Dragon took off the silk handkerchief on the chest of his suit, wiped the blood off his hands, and then wiped the collar casually, but it didn't wipe it clean at all.

"The Governor is the Governor, it's not me who wants to kill him. Just do things according to the plan, and it's the Governor who is doing the job!"

Being able to lead tens of thousands of people in Xinji, Siyanlong must be very courageous. If he wants to be a gangster, then he should be a gangster. If he wants to be a thug, then he should fight like a thug.

It would definitely take a lot of effort for Daquanlong to arrange his people in. If he does nothing, the entire genealogy of the Xiang family will be cancelled.

Wang Zhijun was lurking in Baoxing Building on Keelung Street, 200 meters away from Yau Ma Tei Street, eating a chocolate bar and observing the scene with a telescope.

"Call Brother Tang and tell him that the governor of the foreigners is here. Ask Brother Tang if he wants to bring a gun!"

Zhang Wansheng was slightly stunned, and said excitedly: "Fuck, what a big devil. Brother Jun, here comes your chance to become famous."

Wang Zhijun was wearing a black sportswear, with a calm expression on his face. He shook his head and said, "He only looks impressive. What's the point of fucking him? It's better to save some energy and fuck that girl!"

Yin Zhaotang was playing mahjong with Zuoshou, Danta and Dapao in the VIP room of the King of Mahjong Club on Bolan Street.

After Sha Hui handed over the mobile phone, everyone stopped playing cards. The game continued only after the mobile phone player spoke and put down the phone.

The three of them were undoubtedly secretly observing the boss's expression, but Yin Zhaotang was lost in thought, his brows furrowed, his face solemn, yet it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
