Chapter 1205 Liu Yongfu takes the initiative to attack
Jardine's Lookout, brightly lit at night.
Li Zhen knew that the result would be tonight, so he did not sleep and was waiting for news in the command post.
Yang Banhou escorted the coalition forces from various countries to Jardine's Hill. It was already around four o'clock in the morning. He settled the troops and then escorted the commanders of various countries to the command post. Adams, Russell and the commanders of various countries stood in a row. Seeing the majestic Li Zhen, his cheeks were burning and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
No matter which country's commander he was, he was a person in a high position. Now he suddenly became a prisoner. It was unbearable in his heart. Among them, Adams and Russell were even more embarrassed.
Li Zhen held his head high, his eyes calm, and said calmly: "Mr. Adams, Mr. Russell, we meet again after many years. There is a Chinese saying about the four great joys in life, one of which is meeting an old friend in a foreign country. We started dealing with each other in Shanghai. We have been old friends for more than ten years now, but it is a pity that old friends meet under such circumstances, which is really not good news."
The corner of Adams' mouth twitched, and his heart was burning.
Rachel also lowered her head and felt heavy.
Li Zhen knew the mood of the two people, and his eyes swept over the commanders of each country one by one. Wherever he passed, the commanders of each country lowered their heads consciously, not daring to look directly into Li Zhen's eyes. At this moment, everyone not only felt uncomfortable in their hearts, but also felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Worried about my inner safety.
Li Zhen went on to say: "You are lucky that I won't kill you."
"Huhu,."
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately relaxed.
Li Zhen continued: "You come to attack China. This is impossible to forgive and must be punished."
Russell raised his eyebrows, with a cold expression, and said loudly: "President Li, as the saying goes, Taoists can be killed but not humiliated. Although we have lost, we are still the commander of France and cannot be humiliated."
Adams continued: "I don't have much time left in this old life. If President Lee insists on humiliating me, I would rather die than not be insulted by you. Please consider President Lee."
The commanders from various countries spoke one after another, all with cold and solemn expressions.
Li Zhen turned his eyes to Yang Banhou and ordered: "Take the commanders of various countries into custody and let the soldiers rest for a while. At noon tomorrow, the army will go to the governor's mansion and take Hong Kong."
…
Hong Kong, Governor's Residence.
When the news of the failure on the front line came back, the British envoy Gobard was dumbfounded, as were the other envoys, and the Governor of Hong Kong, Robinson, was even more so. His eyes were stunned and he didn't know what to do.
Until then, all the news coming back was good news.
In the blink of an eye, everything has changed.
The envoys gathered in the lobby of the Governor's Residence and remained silent. After a long time, the Governor of Hong Kong, Robinson, took the lead to break the calm and said loudly: "Dear envoys, the matter has come to this, we should consider our options. If we delay, I will I believe that the Chinese army will soon arrive at the Governor's Palace. By then, just relying on a few police officers in Hong Kong will certainly not be able to stop the Chinese army's attack. Therefore, ambassadors, please make a plan as soon as possible."
French envoy Frankfurt said: "The army has failed. How can we change? We have failed."
There was endless loneliness hidden in his tone.
This time he participated in the war to attack China. He wanted to use this opportunity to expand France's interests. Unfortunately, he did not expect that not only did he not reap the benefits, but he also let the French army fall into trouble again. As long as the news of the French army's defeat was spread back to the country, , he will definitely bear the greatest responsibility, and will even have a certain impact on France.
Ma Hui, the U.S. federal envoy, looked sad and sighed: "I can't touch the tiger's butt. I was bitten when I touched it. Now I have the courage to touch it again, and I was bitten again. This time, I don't know how to tell him." Mr. President explains.”
The Russian envoy Stopsilin said: "You are lucky, but I am miserable. When he was in Vladivostok, His Majesty the Emperor was threatened by Li Zhen, so that he lost the area north of Heilongjiang, and even Vladivostok and other surrounding islands. It was taken back by Li Zhen, and now he is involved, and the country's army has been defeated again. This time, it is really difficult to deal with it."
The British envoy Gobard could only sigh and look lost.
Compared with the United States and Russia, the losses suffered by Britain were huge. Countless tanks were destroyed and the army was defeated. Even after the defeat of this battle, the British army controlled on Hawaii Island was also in a dilemma.
All the envoys sighed.
Hong Kong Governor Robin-Cham said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me. Now is not the time to complain. It is not the time to complain. We should consider the next response. If we let it go, not only will the commanders of various countries be arrested, but also the commanders of various countries will be arrested. We will also be arrested. The situation is urgent and worrying."
"Report."
At this moment, a loud voice came from outside.
A guard ran in, saluted Robinson, and said: "Mr. Governor, we have just received news that the Chinese army in the direction of Jardine's Hill has set off and is heading towards the Governor's residence."
"brush,."
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Robinson waved his hand for the guards to retreat and said: "Gentlemen, ambassadors, it's time to make a decision now."
He looked at Gobard and motioned for Gobard to speak first.
This time it was led by Britain, and it was natural for Gorbard to set an example. Unfortunately, Gorbard didn't seem to see Robinson's eyes and didn't speak at all. He couldn't retreat at will. Gobard was able to remain calm after making a decision, but that did not mean that the envoys from other countries could persist.
Russian envoy Stopsilin was the first to say: "Retreat, we will evacuate immediately through the port. We cannot be caught. Now the commanders of various countries have been arrested. If we are also arrested, then things will be very difficult, even for our own people." The country is also very disadvantaged."
Immediately afterwards, the French envoy Frankfort spoke.
Frankfurt continued with a straight face: "I agree with the withdrawal. The warships of the coalition forces from various countries are still docked at the port. Although the soldiers on all the warships have gone to the front line to fight, the captains on the warships are still there. As long as we It is completely possible to retreat immediately after boarding the ship. Lord Gobard, I think this is the only thing that can be done, retreat."
Ma Hui continued: "If we continue to stay, the entire army will be destroyed. At least, if we leave, we can guarantee a part of our escape. It is the lesser of two evils. We are indeed facing the most difficult situation, but we cannot If you can save a part of the situation, you have to save a part of it. Let’s retreat. It’s too late to retreat now.”
One by one, the commanders offered words of persuasion.
Robinson nodded slightly, and when he looked at Gobard, his eyes wrinkled unconsciously.
Gorbad, why are you still dawdling?
After thinking for a while, Gobad continued: "Withdraw, everyone quickly go and pack up your salutes."
The commanders of all countries stood up in unison, and there was no one in the hall. Gobard looked at Robinson again and continued: "Mr. Governor, you have to prepare, let the Chief Secretary and the Financial Secretary, All the other officials in Hong Kong gathered up and bowed for one hour, and then all retreated."
Robinson nodded and immediately sent someone to deliver the message.
…
By the pier, in the village.
In the room where Liu Yongfu lived, the chiefs of each village and some key members of Liu Yongfu's subordinates gathered together. Everyone gathered together, and one of them reported: "Brother Afu, there is news from the Governor's Mansion, Governor Robin Chen, Assistant Chief Secretary Chang Masha, all the police officers in the police station, as well as the U.S. federal envoys, British envoys, French envoys, and envoys from various countries who are staying in Hong Kong are packing their luggage and preparing to leave Hong Kong on the warships in the port."
Liu Yongfu was the first to speak and said in a deep voice: "They want to run away, but the President's army has not arrived yet. We cannot let these people run away. Although the people who contacted Commander Qi last time came back and said that we do not need to take action, but, We cannot sit idly by and ignore this. This time, we must use the power of the Chinese people in Hong Kong to let foreigners know that we cannot bully them."
After a pause, Liu Yongfu asked: "Ji Xiaoer, have you gathered all the weapons?"
Ji Xiaoer is a burly man in his early thirties. He has made a living by fishing for generations. Later, he was organized by Liu Yongfu and became a main force under Liu Yongfu. Ji Xiaoer looked serious and nodded and said: "Brother Afu Don’t worry, everyone is equipped with a gun. This was bought by the villagers with the money from the last disaster relief. It was also thanks to the foreigners’ desire to make money that we were able to collect thousands of guns.”
Liu Yongfu stood up abruptly and said: "Very good, we have enough weapons so that we will not suffer a loss. Before the foreigners noticed us, we went to the port to ambush, and waited for Governor Robinson and the envoys from various countries to arrive. Take them all down.”
Immediately, Liu Yongfu left with Ji Xiaoer and the other village chiefs.
Not long after, thousands of people gathered in the village. All of them were carrying guns, with cold and solemn expressions on their faces. Before that, Liu Yongfu had served as a general of the Black Flag Army. He understood According to the training regulations, the soldiers he trained are also extremely tough and powerful in combat.
Liu Yongfu stood in the center of the training ground, looked at all the militiamen, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the president came with his army and defeated the foreign army. Now, Hong Kong Governor Robinson and the other foreign envoys want to They want to leave by boat, do you think we can let them leave?"
"cannot."
A loud roar could be heard in the venue.
Liu Yongfu took a breath and continued: "If you can't, then pick up the gun in your hand and keep all the foreigners behind. When the President comes to Hong Kong, we must capture alive the envoys and Governor-General Robinson of various countries and present them to the President."
"Capture Robin Chen alive, capture the foreign envoys alive."
Liu Yongfu roared, his cheeks turning red.
"Capture Robin Chen alive, capture the foreign envoys alive."
Countless people began to shout, from chaos at the beginning to orderliness at the end, with powerful voices and an indomitable momentum. They already wanted to rush to the port immediately.
Liu Yongfu waved his hand and rushed towards the port with his men.
