When Eugene uttered the words "Political Department," even though he had prepared himself mentally, his expression still changed slightly.
The Special Branch was of extraordinary significance to the British Hong Kong government and the Governor of Hong Kong.
Throughout Hong Kong Island, there are two departments that report directly to the Governor: the ICAC and the Special Branch.
The ICAC operates openly, while the Special Branch operates covertly. By utilizing these two departments, one overt and one covert, the Governor of Hong Kong was able to effectively control the entire Hong Kong Island.
Now that Li Jun wants to deal with the Special Branch, it is undoubtedly to cut off the Governor of Hong Kong and the British Hong Kong government. Even Eugene, who has now completely come to his senses, would not agree to this.
"Yes, I don't know what the point of this department is that it disregards human life and tramples on citizens' rights."
Li Jun nodded directly.
“Li Jun, you should know what the Special Branch means to our Hong Kong British government.”
Eugene said quietly.
“Mr. Governor, I know what it means to your British Hong Kong government, which is why I did this.”
Li Jun replied with a smile.
“Li Jun, we’ve already laid our cards on the table, so let’s be honest with each other. Tell me what you’re going to do next. If you can scare me, then I’ll agree to your terms.”
Eugene said slowly.
“Mr. Governor, what I’m about to do is actually quite simple.”
'Pat pat pat~'
At this point, Li Jun clapped his hands.
Soon, Li Wang handed a stack of papers to Li Jun.
Li Jun then pushed the stack of papers directly in front of Eugene.
Eugene immediately began to peruse the papers, and the more he looked at them, the worse his expression became. By the time he had finished reading all the contents of the stack of papers, his face had turned ashen.
“Li Jun, you should know that if these things get out, it won’t just be a matter between the Hong Kong British government and you, it will be a matter between the Eagle government and you!”
Eugene stared at Li Jun and spoke slowly, word by word.
"So, Mr. Governor, let me show you these things first."
Li Jun smiled.
"..."
Eugene looked deeply at Li Jun, and after much contemplation, slowly said, "Li Jun, you win. I agree to your terms and will disband the Political Department!"
After saying this, Eugene seemed to age ten years. He leaned heavily against the back of his chair and slowly closed his eyes.
“Governor, this is a wise choice. The presence of such an institution on Hong Kong Island will only tarnish the reputation of your British Hong Kong government.”
At this moment, Li Jun's smile was extremely 'bright'.
Perhaps, after dissolving the Special Branch, the Hong Kong British government would have reorganized other departments with similar functions, such as the Investigation Department, which no one could have prevented.
However, what Li Jun dismantled was the legitimacy of the Political Department. From today onwards, no department on Hong Kong Island can arrest people or search any place at will simply on suspicion.
Of course, most importantly, Li Jun's move dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of the Hong Kong British government.
A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole. If this happens a few more times, Li Jun can find a way to completely undermine the Hong Kong British government and become the de facto controller of Hong Kong Island, just like He Xian.
However, it's too early to talk about these things now. What Li Jun needs to do now is enjoy the victory in the present.
The next morning, a bombshell announcement shook the entire Hong Kong Island.
Governor Eugene of Hong Kong issued a public decree dissolving the Special Branch.
The Special Branch, a shadow that had loomed over the heads of all Chinese people on Hong Kong Island for decades, vanished from that night onward.
However, as the biggest contributor to removing this shadow, Li Jun did not return to Hong Kong Island to celebrate, but instead took a plane from Macau to Luzon.
After dealing with the foreigners in Hong Kong, Li Jun's next target was the Malayan monkeys in Southeast Asia...
……
10 o'clock in the morning.
Dart Airport in southern Luzon.
A small private jet slowly landed on the runway.
"Ah Jun, wake up, we've arrived in Luzon."
After the plane came to a complete stop, Huang San smiled and woke Li Jun up.
"Okay, thank you, Third Brother. It's kind of you to come with me again this time."
Li Jun opened his eyes and smiled as he spoke to Huang San.
Last night, after finishing my business with Eugene and signing the secret agreement, it was already past midnight.
Eugene returned to Hong Kong Island without stopping, and Li Jun was equally busy.
He first instructed Ye Qiu to make 'proper' arrangements for the people from the Political Department and the foreign agents from MI6.
Then, he summoned all 100 newly added non-commissioned officers who had been promoted to division commander and handed them over to Ah Wah, who rushed to Macau overnight, so that Ah Wah could take them back to Hong Kong Island. In the future, these 100 non-commissioned officers would become the 'backbone' of law enforcement agencies such as the police force, correctional services, and customs.
In other words, the ICAC only selects its personnel from a group of traitors, such as students studying in the United Kingdom and students at the University of Hong Kong. Otherwise, Li Jun would definitely have to provide talent for the ICAC. Otherwise, a department without advanced talent would eventually end up like the political department, disappearing from the historical stage of Hong Kong.
Finally, Li Jun instructed Ahua to start hiring people to dismantle the equipment at the Saigon shipyard, ready to transport it to Southeast Asia at any time, to "add bricks and tiles" to Li Jun's first naval base.
In addition, Li Jun asked Ah Hua to prepare the workers at the Saigon Shipyard, whether by giving them money or by using other methods, so that they would be ready to fight for Li Jun's cause.
After arranging all these tasks, it was already the early morning of the next day. There was no time to rest, so Li Jun boarded He Xian's private plane and went to Luzon.
"Haha, Ah Jun, why are you being so polite with me?"
Upon hearing Li Jun's thanks, Huang San burst into laughter.
At the same time, he was thinking to himself that he must not let Li Jun go this time in Luzon, and he had to make this kid one of his own.
Ten minutes later.
"Brother Jun, Third Uncle, over here!"
It was still Huang Xiaoqi's energetic voice as she stood at the airport exit, waving to Li Jun and Huang San.
In fact, Li Jun also brought Wang Jianjun, Wang Jianguo, Feng Yuxiu, and Li Wang with him this time, but in order to keep it a secret, Li Jun did not let the four of them leave the airport with him.
"Xiao Qi, is your wrist feeling better?"
Li Jun looked at Huang Xiaoqi's still slightly red wrist and asked with a smile.
"It's all better now, Jun-ge. Last time I treated you to Dart's special breakfast, and this time the timing is perfect, so I'll treat you to Dart's special lunch..."
Huang Xiaoqi waved her wrist heartily, indicating that she was fine.
"Xiaoqi, let's have the special lunch another time. First, let me check your inventory."
Li Jun said with a smile.
To do business in Southeast Asia, weapons are essential. However, the weapons from Russia will take three days to reach Luzon, and the weapons from Siam will take two days to arrive. Therefore, Li Jun needs to acquire some weapons locally first.
As a prominent Chinese family in Luzon, the Huang family could obviously meet Li Jun's needs.
This was also Huang San's excuse for accompanying Li Jun this time.
"Brother Jun, why the rush?"
Huang Xiaoqi asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, time waits for no one."
Li Jun nodded and said with a smile.
"Okay, get in the car."
Huang Xiaoqi waved her hand and, with Li Jun and Huang San, got into her Mercedes-Benz.
Half an hour later, Huang Xiaoqi drove his Mercedes-Benz to a warehouse on the outskirts of Dart.
As soon as Huang Xiaoqi stopped the car, a young man immediately opened the car door for Li Jun and Huang San.
"Uncle Three!"
The young man first greeted Huang San, then looked at Li Jun and said with a smile, "This must be Brother Jun, right? I'm Huang Xiaoliu, Brother Jun, hello!"
"Hello, Xiao Liu."
Although the Huang family's naming rules were indeed a bit funny, Li Jun still managed to suppress his laughter and replied to Huang Xiaoliu.
Subsequently, Huang Xiaosan, Huang Xiaowu, and Huang Xiaoba greeted Li Jun and Huang San one after another.
When the last man, around 50 years old and bearing a striking resemblance to Huang San, walked up to Li Jun, Li Jun knew without explanation that this must be Huang San's younger brother, Huang Si.
"Hello, Ah Jun, I am Huang Si. Welcome to our Huang family."
Huang Si looked at Li Jun, nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile.
"Fourth Brother, hello."
Li Jun also greeted Huang Si with a smile.
"Alright, five men, taking so long to just say hello."
After Li Jun and the five men of Huang Si's family finished greeting each other, Huang Xiaoqi gave a concluding speech, scolding his father, three older brothers, and one younger brother until the five men could only lower their heads and admit their mistakes. Then he turned to Li Jun with a smile and said, "Brother Jun, come with me. We have a lot of good stuff in this warehouse."
