Chapter 0774 - Being a Governor of Hong Kong?
Washington.
Office of the President.
After Li Zitao left, the atmosphere did not decrease, but became more dignified.
What to do is the business of the Roosevelt administration, and Li Zitao can only 'add fuel and vinegar,' and being too positive seems to have ulterior motives.
The annexation of Austria by Germany has become a fact.
This incident caused a great sensation in the international community, and Britain, France, and the United States lodged a 'protest against it,' and this shameful drama finally came to an end.
Only the Soviet Union showed its true feelings, strongly condemned the aggression of the German NC and proposed to convene an international conference to discuss the collective response to Hitler's aggression.
It's a pity that it met a group of actors who were completely unwilling to cooperate with its performance.
At this point, the Soviet Union lost confidence in the League of Nations and began to secretly contact the dwarfs.
Everyone is smug, holding the mentality that it is not their business, there will always be a time when they regret it, and this day will not take long.

Far East, southern China.
In Luohu, the Japanese army garrisoned 80,000 soldiers, and the grim situation was about to erupt.
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, most of North China and East China had been fully occupied by Japan, and the eastern coast also fell under the control of the Japanese army.
The coastal areas of South China have become an important base for China to import various resources from other places, and the Japanese army will inevitably cut off this important supply line.
Gangjiang was also actively preparing for war, and the British authorities were well aware that they would eventually have a war with the Japanese army, on the land of the Far East.
Judging by the movement of Japanese troops, this war may be in the near future.
Li Zitao didn't know that this matter also had something to do with him, and Thomson's D1 and D2 appearances on the battlefield in East China threatened the Japanese army.
The Japanese army made every effort to trace the source of these weapons into China, and finally determined that they were transported through the Gangjiang River to Luohu and then to various places.
Therefore, the Japanese army accelerated its military deployment in South China and cut off this 'secret military' supply line as quickly as possible.
............
Early May.
Li Zitao, who was an otaku in the United States, had to come out of his 'snail's house and secretly sail from New York to London.
Visiting Buckingham Palace again, Li Zitao did not feel strange at all.
It's just that its owner, who has changed three times in just a few years, is now the somewhat 'introverted' stuttering majesty, living in this palace, which represents the highest honor of the British Empire.
"Cha, Charlie, welcome, welcome... Arrived, arrived, Platinum ...... "Listening to George VI's more serious stuttering, Li Zitao couldn't help but want to complain, but he had to show a respectful smile on his face, and leaned his shoulders slightly forward to maintain respect.
How to say that he, a marquis, was also canonized by the Windsor Dynasty, and if he does not respect the royal family, isn't it a denial of his own title.
"Your Highness, I wish you good health, Your Highness, your beauty is as good as yesterday. Li Zitao nodded hello to the two.
"Sit down, Charlie, just call me Elizabeth, we're family. Elizabeth, who had been elevated to queen, smiled lightly and invited him to take a seat.
It's still the same reception room, and on the front wall, the huge portraits have been replaced by George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
I don't know where the new king threw his father's portrait, it won't be in the warehouse to fall into ashes!
As for why the two took the initiative to invite him to Buckingham Palace this time, Li Zitao has no idea now.
Since the previous scandal, there has been little contact between the two sides, and when George V's soul returned to God, Li Zitao did not show up.
Mary went to London with her mother, Her Excellency the Grand Duke, to pay her respects.
However, after today's meeting, the two did not mention this matter, and Li Zitao would not be bored.
"Cha, Chacha, Li......" It was very difficult to listen to George VI speak, and in the time he said a word, others were already able to give a speech.
But Li Zitao still has to listen to him carefully, and if he has doubts, he has to ponder repeatedly to figure out what his stumbling pronunciation means.
After 40 minutes, Li Zitao finally figured out his intentions, and the new king, His Majesty, wanted him to go to Gangjiang to be the governor.
This is really beyond Li Zitao's expectations, he has thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't expect this.
Governor?
He was a Chinese with an American ID, a British knighthood, and a Chinese whose ancestral home was in the Far East, and went to the British Chinese colony to serve as the governor of Hong Kong.
Belch...
This is who came up with the idea, stand up, and the human head will beat you into a pig's head.
It's just that although he knew that once he was involved, his own situation would be very troublesome, Li Zitao was still tempted.
If he were to be the governor of Hong Kongjiang, many of the things that had been troublesome before would be simpler.
"Why do you want me to be the Governor of Hong Kong?" Li Zitao looked at George VI in surprise.
Perhaps the Royal Highness of the Kingdom, knowing that he was too troublesome to speak, turned his gaze to his wife, Elizabeth, and asked her to convey his meaning on his behalf.
"As a family member, Charlie, I want to tell you the truth. Elizabeth glanced at her husband, took a deep breath, and said, "We want your S.H.I.E.L.D. to fend off the Japanese on the other side of the river." ”
Ha?
This fucking is looking for cannon fodder, that's why you thought of him?
Li Zitao was almost not laughed at, wishful thinking was the sound of 'bangbang', why is he so smart?
"Albert and I know it's difficult, but the previous promise is not hypocritical, you will get the rights of the Governor of Hong Kong,
While in Hong Kong, you can form your own government, as long as it is not against the interests of Britain, Charlie, and do not forget that you are the noble Marquis of the British Empire. ”
"What about the British army in Gangjiang?" Li Zitao did not rush to answer.
"It's up to you to move. Elizabeth affirmed.
"Fleet?" When it comes to the army, no one in S.H.I.E.L.D. is false, and there are skunks in the Air Force, so he is not worried, the big deal is to spend money out of his own pocket!
The fleet can't, if there is no cooperation of the fleet, the Japanese fleet can blow up the port river into ruins, and the Aegis special guard can't do it even if the bullets will turn.
"The Japanese army will not send a fleet to the port river, that will outweigh the losses, and besides, Japan will not give up other battlefields for the sake of one port river,
The government will send two corps from Canada to Gangjiang to assist you in your work, and your task is to defend against the Japanese attack for as long as possible. ”
"Do you have a map?" Hearing Li Zitao's words, the royal chief guarding the door brought a map and prepared it very well.
Looking at the sesame-sized Gangjiang, Li Zitao rubbed his temples with a headache.
Defending the port and river, this task is almost impossible.
Didn't look at George VI and his wife just said that they would defend themselves against Japanese attacks as long as possible.
Now that the war in China has fully fallen into disadvantage, once South China falls into the hands of the Japanese army, when the Gangjiang is surrounded by enemy groups, how can the Gangjiang be defended?
Looking for him to be the governor of Hong Kong, once Gangjiang fell, Li Zitao was greeted by being captured by the Japanese army, didn't they think about this problem?
Did George VI seriously consider what would happen if he was captured, or was it one of their purposes?
In addition, Li Zitao became the governor of Hong Kong, and for his own safety, he would definitely mobilize a large amount of resources to protect the Gangjiang River and prevent it from falling.
With the power in his hands, he will definitely be able to contain and consume the living forces of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army will not be able to open up new battlefields, which is really a big game of chess.
