Wang Xiaoyang went to report the news. Soon, Li Zhen came to the living room to meet Gobard in person. After Li Zhen sat down, he asked: "Your Excellency Gobard wants to see me. What's the matter?"
Gobard raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Dare you ask President Li if he is trustworthy?"
As soon as he came up, he started questioning him.
With a faint smile on Li Zhen's face, he was not affected by Gobard's question and said calmly: "I have always believed that a man is a man who speaks his words and keeps his words. However, listening to Lord Gobard's tone and The expression on his face seems to indicate that I, Li Zhen, have done something dishonest."
Gobard snorted and said angrily: "It's good that you know."
Li Zhen saw that Gobad was still in need of relief, and his expression suddenly changed. He was no longer as kind as before, and said coldly: "If you have something to do, please tell me directly. If you don't have anything to do, you can go back." Bud didn't have any respect for him, but this guy took it too far and really took himself seriously, which made Li Zhen very unhappy.
I only see you to give you face. If you are unhappy, just go back.
When Gobard saw this, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought something was wrong.
Instantly, he realized that his tone was wrong.
Li Zhen is the president of a country with great power, but he is just a British envoy. There is a huge disparity between the two identities. Gobard has no right to question Li Zhen. Even when he asked to see Li Zhen this time, Gobard asked Li Zhen for help.
Gobard not only failed to suppress Li Zhen, but also hit the iron wall. He smiled and said with a smile: "President Li, the purpose of my visit this time is to resolve the issue of the border between Hong Kong and Guangdong. We have reached an agreement. You Give me time to wait for news from Her Majesty the Queen, and I have already reported the news, and there will be results soon."
Li Zhen sneered in his heart and said to himself, you are so stupid, you actually lied.
However, Li Zhen followed Gobard's words and continued: "Your Excellency Gobard reported the news to the Queen of England. This is a good thing, but when will the Queen give a reply? One month, two months, half a year, Or longer.”
"No, no, it doesn't take that long."
Gobard shook his head repeatedly.
Li Zhen immediately asked: "I need a definite time."
Gobard thought for a while and said: "In a month and a half at most, there will definitely be definite news."
"A month and a half."
Li Zhen frowned, looking very unhappy.
Gobard didn't know what Li Zhen was thinking, thinking that Li Zhen was dissatisfied and that he wanted to delay time, so he began to estimate the time in his mind, and then said: "If things go well, there will be news in a month." At this time, Gobad was thinking that if the fleet had not arrived in a month, then he would temporarily agree to Li Zhen and delay further.
After hearing this, Li Zhen burst into laughter.
After a few simple conversations, he had already determined the approximate time of arrival of the British fleet.
Between one month and one and a half months.
The tanks transported by the British will definitely arrive in one and a half months at the latest. Li Zhen put a smile on his face again and said with a smile: "Since you have given a clear time, I will wait for another month." After a pause, Li Zhen was confused. Said: "I don't understand why Mr. Gobard said that I am not trustworthy. I have done nothing during this period and have always abided by the agreement."
Pack.
Try your best to pretend.
Gobard secretly scolded Li Zhen for being thick-skinned, but said with a smile: "President Li gave orders to the troops stationed on the border between Hong Kong and Guangdong, so that the troops stationed on the border were ready to move and had a tendency to attack Hong Kong. President Li Ah, it's not that I don't cooperate with you, I just want to wait for Her Majesty the Queen's opinion. There are still British troops stationed in Hong Kong. If your troops attack, a war will break out immediately, causing countless casualties to the people, and Hong Kong will also be affected. Please President Lee, please be patient and wait a moment."
Li Zhen looked confused and said: "I didn't give the order, why did Qi Zhenhai do this?"
"I believe you, I am a fool."
Gorbad snorted in his heart and didn't believe it at all.
The corner of Li Zhen's mouth raised and he continued: "Don't worry, Mr. Gobard. This Qi Zhenhai is acting recklessly. I will definitely reprimand Qi Zhenhai severely and ask him to lead his soldiers to stop at the border line. It will be a month before we send out troops. You see how."
Gobard felt very unhappy and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this is the best."
Li Zhen said: "That's it, I'll give you a month."
Gobard stood up to say goodbye, and Wang Xiaoyang immediately saw him off. After seeing Gobard off, Wang Xiaoyang came back and said: "President, after your deception, Gobard has revealed their time. You can be sure that the British transport The tanks will take a month, and when the opponent's army arrives a month later, the battle will begin."
Li Zhen said: "After knowing the details of Gobard, we will definitely win. This time we will deal with the British severely."
The two people looked at each other with expectation in their eyes.
After Gobard returned to the embassy, he immediately sent a telegram to Hong Kong, stating that things had stabilized and Hong Kong could remain as it was and that there would be no war for the time being. However, Gobard also reminded Hong Kong Governor Robinson in the telegram that he should Robinson tried to keep a low profile and not cause trouble to avoid any accidents along the way. After passing the news, Gobard began to wonder what else to do this month. After all, once the war started, it would cause a series of changes. Things have to be thought through now.
…
Hong Kong Island, Liu Yongfu’s home.
There are more than ten people sitting around a round table. Most of these people are elderly, with an average age of about fifty. Liu Yongfu is the youngest among them, except Liu Yongfu, who is less than thirty years old.
Liu Yongfu glanced at everyone and said: "I invited all the elders to my home today to discuss Hong Kong affairs. To be honest with you, the last time the doctors came to help us, one of them was President Li of China. He told me that President Lee was going to take back Hong Kong, and coupled with the recent news coming back from the north, President Lee was already taking action."
Liu Yongfu clenched his fists, looked excited, and said loudly: "We Chinese people who have been suppressed by foreigners should unite to support President Lee and make our own contribution to President Lee's recovery of Hong Kong."
Old Uncle Liu said: "Afu, does President Lee really want to take back Hong Kong?"
Liu Yongfu replied: "Yes, this matter has been determined."
Old Uncle Liu said: "I support and am willing to support President Lee in taking back Hong Kong."
The head of another village said: "Old Liutou, don't worry about this. We want to support President Li. How can we support him? We are all unarmed people. If we stand up, we will only be shot by foreigners. We can't do anything."
Liu Yongfu said: "As long as we unite, we are not afraid of foreigners."
"Although that's what I say, we don't have guns or cannons. We are all made of flesh and blood."
"Uncle old man, should we let foreigners bully us? The British govern Hong Kong and don't care about the life and death of foreigners. We Chinese people have become inferior people and are looked down upon by others. I can't get used to living like this. I would rather die. Resist."
Liu Yongfu looked serious and indignant.
The village chiefs of each village spoke one by one, with different opinions, some supporting and some opposing.
"It's not good, it's not good."
When everyone could not reach a unified opinion, shouting came from outside.
