"On behalf of the country and the people, I would like to thank Mr. Xu for your profound understanding of righteousness!"

Xu Cun has always listened to the right ear for such a fake high hat. Xu Cun would not believe any words of any politician, even if it was his own politicians, rather than listening to what they said, Xu Cun prefers to see what they do.

In addition, it is emphasized that the reason why Xu Cun is willing to help China take back the Hong Kong is because, as a Chinese, Xu Cun is willing to see and hopes to see China unification - that's all.

Another way of saying it is, I am happy, I am willing, I am rich and self-willed!

As for Xu Cun's character, Ji Pengfei, who has been dealing with Xu Cun for nearly ten years, knows better.

Seeing the faint hint of impatience in Xu Cun's eyebrows, Ji Pengfei immediately gave Lu Ping a wink, signaling Lu Ping to stop and talk about business.

With Ji Pengfei's suggestion, Lu Ping also vaguely understood Xu Cun's stubborn personality, so he put aside the bureaucratic routine and said directly: "After the last domestic riot, the UK seems to be very concerned about the 1984 Twelve I regret the joint statement on the Hong Kong issue that was officially signed in May. The British side wrote to us saying that it is ready to reconsider the arrangements for direct elections in Hong Kong, and at the same time asks us to postpone the promulgation of the Basic Law. In the talks with the Communist Party of China, it was stated that if the two sides can reach an understanding on the Basic Law and the issue of direct elections in Hong Kong, the door to the restoration of good relations between the two countries will be open. This is obviously a prerequisite for the restoration of bilateral relations with the election of Hong Kong. At the end of last year, After the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, according to this change, the British authorities believed that the agreement on the Hong Kong issue signed with us was a loss for the United Kingdom to make too many concessions, and wanted to take the opportunity to 'reverse the verdict'. During the critical period, the government indicated that we would not accept the British plan, but the draft may still be revised. The two sides can further discuss to ensure that the door is not completely closed. Now, the two sides are still in dispute over the number of directly elected seats. The central government hopes Mr. Xu, can you come forward to help us, and reduce the number of directly-elected seats to less than 18, the fewer the better, and it would be best if it can be set as the ten seats that we originally agreed with the British side."

Xu Cun didn't understand: "Why are you mobilizing so many people for more or less directly-elected seats?"

Lu Ping explained: "Actually, what we are fighting with the British side is not just the number of directly elected seats, but the dominant political system after the return of Hong Kong. During the more than 100 years of Hong Kong's colonial rule, the United Kingdom has always adopted the The political system in which the Governor is appointed by London to exercise sole power. The Governor has two bureaus, the Executive and the Legislative Council. As an advisory body, members are appointed by the Governor of Hong Kong. This is an executive-led system. After the joint statement was signed, we started to work on it. Formulate the basic law of the future Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and design a new political system that can reflect "one country, two systems". The British side attempts to use the period of Hong Kong's transition to step up the implementation of the so-called "representative political system reform", in order to create an established system before the promulgation of the Basic Law. In order to influence the arrangement of the future political system by the Basic Law. The goal of "representative political system reform", to put it bluntly, is to change the leadership of the executive to the leadership of the legislative, to restrict the executive by enhancing the power and status of the legislature, and ultimately return to the Hong Kong after China has become an "independent entity", isolated from the motherland, forming a country within a country, in order to facilitate the long-term maintenance of British political and economic interests in Hong Kong."

After a pause, Lu Ping added: "In terms of the selection of members, our basic principle is that members must support the Basic Law and be willing to be loyal to the regulations formulated by the SAR government. The most worrying thing is that members are unwilling to be loyal to the SAR government and do not support the Basic Law. They even oppose the Basic Law and one country, two systems. If there are too many members of this kind, Xiangjiang will not be able to transition smoothly and achieve a real return. Mr. Bai Teng, who was expelled by you just now, Mr. Xu, has already come to Xiangjiang. And privately met with the Director of Trade and Chief Trade Negotiator Zeng Yinquan, Hong Kong businessman Li Jiacheng and other people who have a pivotal position in Hong Kong. These people have a close relationship with many directly elected members, and even some are If we expand the number of seats and include these directly elected members, then we risk losing the power to dominate the political system, and we will not be able to truly unify China.”

Xu Cun thought about his temple for a while before saying, "It's not convenient for me to directly pressure the UK to reduce the number of directly-elected seats. After all, I still have a lot of business in the UK..."

Hearing Xu Cun's refutation, Lu Ping immediately felt a trace of disappointment, and secretly said, "Could it be that Xu Cun is a villain with a different heart..."

Fortunately—

Lu Ping is also a senior politician, and he did not express his thoughts.

Otherwise, Lu Ping will definitely regret it!

Because, Xu Cun quickly said again: "However, no matter who is elected as a directly elected member, I can help you win five more members who are loyal to the country."

Speaking of this, Xu Cun looked at Lu Ping and asked, "Can this solve the problem you encountered?"

Hearing Xu Cun's remarks, Lu Ping's old face was instantly filled with joy!

If according to what Xu Cun said, then the parliament of Hong Kong must be determined from the inside, and then the political system of Hong Kong will be dominated by the mainland!

Yes, directly elected members are appointed by the Governor of Hong Kong.

But this does not mean that these directly elected members will listen to the Governor of Hong Kong. After all, the United Kingdom is bound to lose its power in Hong Kong. There are still many people who are aware of current affairs, and there are indeed a few real patriots.

In addition, using some extraordinary means, the mainland can also win a few directly elected members.

Of course ~lightnovelpub.net~ There are not many directly elected members of the mainland who can be sure of influence, otherwise the mainland would not want to reduce the number of seats to win.

but--

No matter how small the number is, there will always be seven or eight seats.

On this basis, plus Xu Cun's five seats, the mainland can be said to have a solid victory in the parliament - you must know that there must be a few neutral members among them. What else can be turned upside down?

At the same time, Lu Ping finally knew Xu Cun's strength in Xiangjiang - those parliamentarians who were unable to win in the mainland, the designation and the word "patriotism" were missed. Moreover, even when Xu Cun didn't know who they were, he dared to make at least five parliamentarians elected by the British "patriotic"! This shows how terrifying Xu Cun's influence in Xiangjiang is!

From that moment on, Lu Ping's respect for Xu Cun also rose to the height of Ji Pengfei...
