In every stable and mature system, there are rules and regulations in operation. For example, in Xiangjiang, the Hong Kong government, which is still controlled by Gui Lao, will enter a period of vacation when the senior civil servants of Gui Lao are about to retire.
Going back to Hong Kong Governor David Wilson's routine New Year's Day honors operation in 1992, he was awarded a lifelong nobleman, which absolutely broke the routine, and now it is in a time of peace, so there must be something deep in it!
The reason why it is said that Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin is now honored as a lifelong nobleman is breaking the rules. That is because lifelong nobleman is a ceiling for British civil servants. Mrs. Thatcher, who stepped down from the position of British Prime Minister the year before last, It was only this year that he was awarded a lifelong nobleman.
】
Examining the trajectories of successive governors of Hong Kong, the subtleties are easier to discover.
Wilson's former Governor of Hong Kong was Youde, who died of a heart attack while in office. It is an exception and cannot be used as a reference; the previous Governor of Hong Kong was MacLehose. , about sixty-five years old, reached the limit of the extraordinary retirement age for civil servants in the British Foreign Office, and was not honored as a lifelong nobleman until this time.
It is now January 1992, full of efforts and calculations, and Wei Yixin is only one month away from turning 57. In the position of Governor of Hong Kong, even if he works until June 30, 1997, he will only be 6 years old. Twelve years old, obviously younger than MacLehose's retirement age.
As a result, Wei Yixin has not reached the age of retirement, nor has he retired at this time. He is still full of enthusiasm to work until June 30, 1997, becoming the last governor of Hong Kong and leaving his mark on history. Well, in an unorganized manner, with the meaning of "conclusive conclusion", he was awarded a lifelong nobleman.
Generally speaking, at this time, if No. 10 Downing Street in London really wants to take action, it should be announcing the decision to extend Wilson's post as Hong Kong Governor.
There are sophistication and ways of being an official everywhere. If Wei Yixin didn't notice the slightest abnormality, then all these years would be in vain.
When Gao Xian saw Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin, he didn't seem to notice the unconcealable tangled expression on the other's face, and congratulated the wound with salt: "During the term of office, the Governor can be awarded a lifelong nobleman, which breaks the The records of previous governors of Xiangjiang are really worthy of congratulations."
Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin smiled wryly, "Why do I feel that breaking the record is a bit weird?"
"Could it be that the constitutional governor doesn't know the inside story?" Gao Xian showed a look of surprise just right, and then said to himself: "It's normal, after all, the constitutional governor is far away from London officialdom, and some news other than official documents needs to be time to receive it.”
Gao Xian, who seemed to be trying to find a way for Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin, suddenly realized that it didn't make Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin feel better.
"What news Sir Gao got, please let me know." Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin asked eagerly.
"I heard the news from the circles of the American Council on Foreign Relations and the British Royal Institute of International Affairs." Gao Xian nodded slightly, and calmly threw out two heavyweight circles, which not only showed the authority of the news, It is also inevitable to pretend to be Bo Yin suspiciously, showing that he is taller than Fang Daoxing, "I am sure that No. 10 Downing Street will replace the governor of Xiangjiang. I thought that the governor had already been informed of this decision when he received the lifelong nobleman's award." It's over."
The last sentence of "I thought" was like pouring salt on the wound of Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin, and then pouring medical alcohol. The face of Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin showed a look of depression, "It really is so..."
After a moment of silence, Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin slowly asked again: "Does Sir Gao know who No. 10 Downing Street will choose to take over my position?"
Gao Xian shook his head lightly, "When I heard the news, there was no candidate to take over the constitutional governorship at No. 10 Downing Street."
Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin's expression became even more ugly. He believed the information given by Gao Xian without reservation, because it was really hard to find a candidate for Hong Kong Governor at this stage.
Don't underestimate Hong Kong Governor David Wilson's "China Hands" professional ability. Europe and the United States have considered the center of the world for a hundred years, but there is a lot of difference in the cultivation and reserve of talents who are familiar with Far East affairs.
To put it bluntly, Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin is not arrogant. He believes that the UK currently cannot find a Hong Kong governor who meets his own standards. Correspondingly, Gao Xian's information is absolutely true.
After another moment of silence, Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin laughed self-mockingly, "Sir Gao, since my term of office has entered the countdown, you might as well help analyze openly and honestly, what exactly is it that I lost points that caused me to lose points?" Was it replaced?"
Gao Xian shook his head without hesitation, "I think that the achievements of the governor are at least not inferior to that of his predecessor, Sir MacLehose. After the global stock market crash broke out on Black Monday in 1987, Xiangjiang was inevitably affected. Du Xian boldly promoted the new airport construction plan, which ensured the impetus for Xiangjiang's economic development."
Speaking of this, Gao Xian sighed regretfully, "This year, next year, and the year after that at the latest, landmark projects such as the Xiangjiang International Financial Center Building and the new airport will be opened one after another. I thought Du Xian would also preside over What about those ceremonies with a sense of history."
Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin laughed out loud in comfort, "With a confidant like Sir Gao, even if London has already decided to replace me, it doesn't matter."
Seeing that Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin seemed to be thinking about it, Gao Xian put on a cautious posture, and said in a deep thought: "Du Xian, I haven't finished my news yet, I just don't know, should I say it or not..."
Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin waved his hand, "Our relationship, what should be said or not should be said, Sir Gao, it doesn't matter!"
Gao Xian leaned forward a little, and said slowly: "I heard them discuss that the reason why No. 10 Downing Street decided to replace the governor of Xiangjiang was because the Prime Minister Meijie was dissatisfied with the governor's constitution and felt that the governor's ability was insufficient. Weak, let him lose face..."
"It's unreasonable." Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin's forehead was full of veins, and the suffocation he had been holding in finally burst out. He slapped the armrest of the sofa heavily, "I have always adhered to the working principles since Sir MacLehose's tenure. Why? Is it because of lack of ability? Meijie has been overwhelmed by factional intrigue, election trends, and domestic affairs, so he wants to blame me for the problems in the Far East?"
Appreciating Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin's filial piety, Gao Xian secretly laughed, afraid that you would be indifferent, as long as you are not reconciled to being retired, that's fine!
"Calm down Duxian, it's not worthwhile to hurt your body. I shouldn't tell Duxian these things that add to my troubles." Gao Xian got up in time to leave, "Well, I will choose another time to report this business trip to Duxian results of work."
