The essence of British politicians is engraved with business and reality, and their external performance is their great negotiation patience and skills. Mai Lihao, a diplomat, was better at this. After a while, he reached a consensus with Gao Xian, which made Gao Xian promise to use his own resources to help the Hong Kong government deal with the energy shortage crisis. With the deepening of the conversation, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose asked anxiously, "David, judging from what you saw and heard during your trip to the Middle East, how long will the oil embargo that triggered this energy shortage crisis last?" Gao Xian has an obligation to keep the inside story of his trip to the Middle East, but he can still talk about people at Mai Lihao's level.
"It depends on the progress of US Secretary of state Dr. kisinger's peaceful mediation." Gao Xian pondered: "the strongest faction in the Arab world demands that the middle east be restored to 1948. In fact, in the mechanism of" governor in Council ", as long as the Hong Kong Governor is willing, he has the final decision-making power, and others are the foil of the role of adviser. There are four ex officio members in the Hong Kong Executive Council, including the commander of the British armed forces in Hong Kong, the chief secretary, the financial secretary and the attorney general; the rest are appointed by the governor and are divided into "official" members and "unofficial" members. The identity of Gao Xian after being pulled into the Executive Council by governor MacLehose is that of "unofficial" members. His size is about 10 people, and none of them is not a well-known social figure in Xiangjiang. As long as Gao Xian is appointed by the Executive Council, the word "Your Excellency" will be added to his official title.
