In the official residence of the Governor of Hong Kong, Masha is handling official business in his office.
Cosey walked in, head bowed.
Masha stared at Kexi with a serious expression and asked, "Why are you alone, Liu Yongfu?"
Kesi replied: "I didn't bring it back."
"waste,."
There was a loud noise, and Masha slapped the desk. He stood up angrily, pointed at Kesi, and roared: "You brought more than thirty policemen there, and you didn't even bother a small country villager. If you can't bring him back, is there anyone who can do things like you? Removal, I will remove you from your position today, go back and reflect on your own."
Kexi quickly said: "Director, there is a reason for this."
"What's the reason?" Masha asked.
Kexi arched his back slightly and answered truthfully: "I took people to see Liu Yongfu at that time, but I didn't expect that Liu Yongfu actually organized a force, which was all composed of villagers. These villagers were armed with sticks and looked fierce. Everyone obeys Liu Yongfu's command, and as long as we take action, Liu Yongfu will order the villagers to resist."
After finishing speaking, Kexi relayed what Liu Yongfu said.
After hearing this, Masha frowned tightly, with astonishment in his eyes. He didn't expect that a young Liu Yongfu could have such knowledge. It was really extraordinary. Masha made a fist with his right hand and punched it on the desk. He punched, but finally sat down slumped. Just as Liu Yongfu said, the current Masha does not dare to take risks. Once the troops stationed at the border are dispatched, he cannot afford the consequences.
However, the final result was not decided by Masha. Masha ordered: "This matter is here for now. I will go to see His Excellency the Governor first and report the news to the Governor, who will make the decision."
Kexi nodded and exited the office in a polite manner. Masha also stood up and walked towards the office of Hong Kong Governor Robinson. This matter must be discussed with Robinson to determine whether to capture Liu Yongfu.
Outside the governor's office, Masha knocked on the door.
Immediately, Masha entered. After Masha sat down, he recounted the story of Liu Yongfu organizing the villagers to resist arrest, and said, "Your Excellency, Governor, what do you think about Liu Yongfu?"
Governor Robinson put down the pen in his hand and said seriously: "Stop the action."
Masha was stunned and didn't understand. If he stopped taking action, wouldn't it mean that he would not provoke Liu Yongfu?
According to this decision, the government has relented.
Robinson sighed lightly and continued: "I just received a telegram from Lord Gobard from Guangzhou, saying that the situation is not good for us and asking us to keep a low profile during this period and not to provoke Li Zhen's army. Liu Yongfu saw this clearly and dared to cause trouble during this period. He ignored Liu Yongfu for the time being and allowed him to be arrogant. After our tanks arrived and Li Zhen was dealt with, we would deal with Liu Yongfu, a small villager. Even if he was a little bit Little cleverness is of no use."
"Yes, I understand."
Masha nodded, still feeling a little unwilling.
It will definitely not be a good thing for Hong Kong if Liu Yongfu is allowed to act up and down.
…
In the blink of an eye, twenty-five days have passed since the originally scheduled January period. It is already the end of April, and the weather in Guangzhou is already quite hot.
Outside the city, thirty miles.
This is a mountainous area, which belongs to the garrison of the Guangzhou Army. At this time, martial law has been imposed around the area. Army soldiers are stationed everywhere, strictly controlling this area. On a hillside in the mountainous area, Li Zhen, Wang Xiaoyang, Huang Qiang, Dai Yuanhua and others had looks of anticipation on their faces, looking at a cannon at the foot of the hillside.
This cannon is an anti-tank gun developed by Dai Yuanhua.
During this month, Li Zhen often visited the arsenal to discuss the manufacture of anti-tank guns with Dai Yuanhua and experts from the arsenal. In a short period of time, he created a shell that could restrain tanks.
Dai Yuanhua stood on the slope and shouted: "Load."
After giving an order, the soldier standing next to the cannon picked up a spool-shaped armor-piercing projectile and loaded it.
In an instant, there was a loud bang.
A ball of fire suddenly appeared, and the armor-piercing projectile flew out and went straight to an iron plate erected five hundred meters away. In the blink of an eye, a deafening sound rang out, followed by an explosion. After the fire, everyone's eyes were fixed. Looking at it, because the distance was too far, it was hard to see clearly. The group of people walked towards the iron block.
This piece of iron is ten centimeters thick, and when the armor-piercing bullet hits the iron piece, the penetration distance is about 30 millimeters. Such penetration power far exceeds the defense thickness of the tank. Although Li Zhen has never seen the British tanks, but the tanks that have just been developed are definitely not up to the standards of later generations of heavy tanks, and the armor thickness of current tanks is not enough.
The penetration capability of 30mm is enough.
Li Zhen praised, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Mr. Dai, you have done a great job this time. With such an anti-tank gun, we are more than enough to deal with British tanks. This time, we will make it impossible for them to come and go."
Huang Qiang said: "Gobard thought he had hidden it from the president, but he didn't know it had already been exposed."
Wang Xiaoyang smiled and said: "In a few days, it will be the scheduled January period."
Li Zhen nodded and said boldly: "The anti-tank gun has been developed. Now everything is ready. We are just waiting for news from Gobard." After a pause, Li Zhen's eyes fell on Dai Yuanhua and said seriously: "Dai Sir, the artillery shells have been produced, and the next step is up to you. You must produce a large number of anti-tank guns in the shortest possible time to ensure the success of this war."
Dai Yuanhua raised his hand in a military salute and replied loudly: "President, please rest assured that now that the final anti-tank gun situation has been determined, everything will be easier to handle. Next, the production of the assembly line will be completed soon."
After the experiment was completed, the scene was dealt with, and the group returned the same way.
…
The January period arrived in a blink of an eye.
At this time, it was already May 2nd. Early in the morning, Li Zhen got up, washed up, and came to the office. Li Zhen simply arranged the things that needed to be dealt with today, and then called the soldiers, preparing to send someone to notify Gobad. At this time, the soldiers came to report that Gobard had come on his own initiative. After hearing this, Li Zhenwen's face suddenly became happy.
Finally reaching this point, it's the final confrontation.
Li Zhen waved his hand and said: "Please."
Gobard came to Li Zhen's office, saluted, sat down, and said loudly: "President Li, I have received a reply from Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty the Queen was very angry when she learned that you wanted to take back Hong Kong, and said that since Hong Kong It was ceded by the Manchu Emperor, so it no longer belongs to China, but to Britain. Therefore, I can only say sorry to you."
Li Zhen said calmly: "In that case, prepare to start a war."
Gobard said: "There must be a battle."
After a pause, Gobard said: "Since the two sides are at war, and I, as the British envoy, am still under the control of President Lee, if the President wants to execute me, he is completely capable, and it is entirely up to President Lee to decide."
Li Zhen laughed heartily and said: "If the two countries are at war, the envoy will not be killed. Since you are the British envoy, I will not kill you. Go back and tell the Governor of Hong Kong, Robinson, that my army, Li Zhen, will march to Hong Kong soon." "
Gobard stood up to say goodbye and turned to leave.
Li Zhen looked at Gobard's leaving figure and smiled coldly. He knew that this was a British-made tank that had arrived in Hong Kong, so Gobard dared to express his attitude.
