After being rescued, Yang Muqi, the governor of Hong Kong, returned to his position as governor. He was very grateful to the young commander. If he had not led the troops to fight in time, he might have been escorted to the Northeast prison camp. At the funeral, he deeply paid tribute to the martyrs.
They bowed and looked at the rows of rescued people from various countries and Japanese people, standing quietly in front of the tombstone to say goodbye in silence.
"Where do you think the future of Hong Kong will be?" Meng Da is good at capturing people's thoughts. He saw an elusive deep thought on Yang Muqi's face and couldn't help but ask.
"The way out? Hong Kong is currently in a predicament of hunger, disease and war. There is no way out here. I really don't know what to do! All the major banks have been robbed by the little devils. All supplies are lacking. 1.6 million people
The food problem cannot be solved."
"Surrounded by Japanese occupation, Port
Mr. Governor, with your ability, is there any way to solve the current predicament?"
Meng Da's tone was calm, but his words were like needlepoints piercing Yang Muzhi's heart. He shuddered and said, "As you expected, Hong Kong has the possibility of being abandoned! They only saw benefits, and they didn't expect that it would become a hot spot now."
If the war continues, I’m afraid you won’t be able to pay your military expenses!”
"Hahahaha, my military expenses must be paid in full before I can defend Port
He is one of yours, do you have a way to solve his food problem?"
Yang Muzhi shook his head with a sad face, and sighed again: "My whole family has no way to survive!"
The government of Country Y has a dispute over the issue of Port
How long does the fight last? If this continues, the entire country will be brought down.
Churchill regretted very much. Why didn't he listen to Roosevelt? He had deeply realized that after the end of World War II, Hong Kong would also change. Because Country M, Country D, and Portugal all had commitments
Abolish all unequal treaties and return the concession to the Republic of China government. Can Hong Kong be the only one that can stop the army from pressing down on the border? Isn't this the last year of the Qing Dynasty? Isn't it beneficial to go to war with China?
One billion U.S. dollars and a large amount of military spending have shocked him. If this continues, he will become a sinner of the people of country y! After thinking about it, he decided to see the queen. He must cut the knot quickly and deal with this troublesome matter. The queen is also working for x port
The foreigners living in Hong Kong are on the verge of collapse.
"Give up, we can no longer afford huge losses!" The Queen expressed her opinion first without waiting for Churchill to speak.
"Your Majesty, are our businessmen just throwing all their buildings to the Chinese?" Churchill was unwilling, but had no suitable solution.
"Hong Kong
They were disarmed. Only one Y** ship tried to escape from the Huangpu River, but was sunk by the Japanese. Another M** ship surrendered. The streets of the Shanghai Public Concession were full of Japanese soldiers standing guard.
Soon they took over the French Concession, and the entire Shanghai became an occupied area."
The Queen spoke dullly about what happened on Chinese territory, and then sighed: "Those who don't want to leave can stay. Tell them that we cannot provide protection!"
Churchill couldn't help but shudder. He had received a telegram. Before dawn on December 8, 1941, the Japanese army in North China occupied the British Concession in Tianjin and the Military Barracks of Country M. They also occupied Country Y in Beijing.
The national army camp disarmed all the local M and Y** people who had not evacuated and took them as prisoners of war. At the same time, they also gathered the Y and M army residents in the city and sent them to concentration camps.
Thinking of this, he secretly felt lucky for the overseas Chinese in Hong Kong. If Meng Da had not sent troops in time, I am afraid that the more than 10,000 people captured by the Japanese army would never have survived! He whispered to the queen: "Leave this matter to the
The ambassador of country m will handle it. We must bring the overseas Chinese to Myanmar as soon as possible and then return to the country from India."
"You should let Yang Muqi come forward to negotiate with the commander of the People's Army Meng Da. During the unexpired lease period of the New Territories, Meng Da will be the agent to operate the x port. We cannot give up in vain and collect a lease fee of 100 million US dollars per year." The Queen is very smart.
I quickly thought of a way to reap the benefits.
"Hi, Her Majesty the Queen is really smart!" Churchill smiled. Country y can earn five billion US dollars, which will be of great benefit to the development of country y in the future.
After the Japanese army occupied Port
The secret service camp and the guard camp that arrived early were taken back.
Meng Da returned to the military camp and took Liu Tai and other officers to inspect the huge amount of funds and various rare treasures. The young commander said calmly: "X Hong Kong is in the most difficult period now. We must reach out.
To rescue them, we should first organize two regiments of transportation teams to go to Zhejiang, Fujian, and Hunan to buy grain and meat animals."
"Commander, this won't solve the problem. Hong Kong has a population of 1.7 million, do we have to support it?" Liu Tai was a little angry. Country Y is a government agency, but it makes things difficult for them.
"Restore the shipyard, develop the offshore fishing fleet, and turn the habit of relying on entrepot trade into industry and handicraft development. We have no retreat, we can only go all out to manage it." Mengda did not explain much and said to everyone: "Everyone
As long as you focus on defense, I will take care of other things."
"Report, the government of country y has sent Governor Yang Muqi as a negotiator to negotiate with the commander about the x port issue."
"Oh?" Meng Da smiled slightly and said, "Negotiate with me? Are the people of country y ready to hand over port x to me?"
"You guessed it right!" Yang Muqi saw Meng Da walking out of the headquarters and said with a smile on his face: "To make a long story short, the Queen and the Prime Minister intend to give up Hong Kong. However, they will not hand it over to the National Government, but will leave it to you to manage it.
The lease expires. The British side demands a commission of US$100 million per year. Do you dare to agree?"
"Let's talk in the living room." Meng Da couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He knew the opportunity had come. The two of them walked into the living room and sat down. Yang Muqi hurriedly took out the contract sample. He took it and looked at it and laughed; "
Do you think there is still interest in Hong Kong now?"
"This -" Yang Muzhi said straightforwardly; "In my opinion, it's a burden."
"I never like unrealistic negotiations. If you are sincere, come up with conditions acceptable to both parties. Mr. Governor, let alone 100 million U.S. dollars per year, do you dare to agree to it even if it is 10 million?"
Yang Muzhi shook his head: "I don't have this ability."
"You can tell Prime Minister Churchill that when the lease period expires in 1997, I can give you one billion U.S. dollars. If you can't make a deal, please hire someone smarter."
Using retreat as an advance, the people of Country Y were pushed into a desperate situation. They were very panicked. More than one million people were hungry for food, and every day they consumed hundreds of thousands of oceans. The Queen gritted her teeth and said to Churchill; "
Promise him, if this drags on we will suffer even greater losses!"
The signing of the treaty was extremely smooth, and the Y country people began to retreat. The Canadians and F country people also hurriedly followed suit. Suddenly, the people of
.Liu Tai led the troops to clear up the Japanese bridge and return to Japan.
In the White House of country M, Roosevelt was always watching the changes in Hong Kong. Marshall said worriedly: "If this continues, there will be chaos, and Hong Kong will never have peaceful days again."
"No, the situation will get better and better, and it will be very beneficial to us!"
"Oh?" Marshall looked at Roosevelt in confusion.
"We will sell a lot of things to Hong Kong, such as grain, cotton, steel, machinery and equipment, medical equipment, teaching equipment, etc. I dare to say that he will continue to request transport aircraft and will contact you soon." Luo
S Fu's tone was coherent and he said a lot of what was on his mind.
Marshall was about to speak when he heard a report from outside that Song Ziwen asked to see him. Roosevelt smiled slightly and said: "Here, Mengda agrees to all his requests and tells this capable young man that we support him as governor and will make him the governor."
Banks in Hong Kong and the United States will continue to operate."
Country m is in a period of economic depression. Meng Da's request for help actually solved the problem of surplus people and materials and an increase in the unemployed population in country m. Song Ziwen opened his mouth to test, but Marshall just kept nodding. He was surprised. Roosevelt and
Meng Da can always urinate into the same pot, and the two of them understand each other very well.
Meng Da requested to increase the number of C-47s to twenty, requested to recruit pilots in country m, requested to quickly fly to port
But he promised that everything would be done within a week.
"Minister Song, our twenty fighter jets and four bombers are about to arrive at x port. All transport aircraft and cargo will arrive at the same time. The second batch of technical talents and teachers will also be arranged soon to ensure that x port
Keep prospering.”
Song Ziwen was extremely puzzled that Roosevelt would look at Meng Da like this. He asked cautiously: "Do you think he can handle this matter that is a headache for people in country Y?"
"Do you think there is anyone smarter than him?" Marshall asked back, and said to Song Ziwen humorously: "This is called each getting what he needs."
In x Hong Kong, the government headquarters is located in the Hong Kong HSBC Head Office Building in Central, Hong Kong Island. The Peninsula Hotel was changed to the military headquarters. There are x Hong Kong celebrities in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Finance, Transport, Economics, Reporting Department, Management Department and Foreign Affairs Department.
To step forward to take charge, we require people who are honest, dedicated and able to do practical things to step forward voluntarily.
The second action is that all schools must open. Each student can receive one pound of rice, two taels of flour, and a considerable amount of oil, salt, and sugar. Textbooks and tuition and fees are free, and two school uniforms are given to teachers every year.
The salary is funded by the government, and their qualifications and contributions ensure that they can live and work in peace and contentment. Of course, education must be in both Mandarin and English.
Shipyards, canneries, clothing factories, footwear factories, fishery processing plants, beverage factories, furniture factories, bamboo weaving factories and other small industries and handicrafts all show their talents, including HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Benefit Bank and the newly established
The Industrial and Commercial Bank of Hong Kong provided loan support to start production.
In terms of household registration management, the new resident card not only has an anti-counterfeiting mark and a photo of the person, but also a family photo. When the police check the household registration and find strangers who cannot give a reasonable explanation, the whole family will be deported. x Hong Kong currency can
It is illegal to use Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, pounds, silver dollars, gold, etc. and other currencies.
Meng Da shrewdly thought of something, and vigorously encouraged local artists to set up film companies, football games, basketball games and theatrical performances. The prosperity of Hong Kong is inseparable from this group of people. The radio station is constantly promoting, and applicants for government jobs
As people gradually started to work, what should the remaining people do? He had a new idea.
"Assemble troops and prepare to attack!"
"Ah!" Liu Tai exclaimed, "Can these people fight?"
"War will make them grow up. In order to give them a way to survive, I must do this!"
