"Come in" Ashton said, Ma Ziqiang pushed the door open and came in, saluted Ashton, no matter how the cooperation between the two people is still very pleasant, Ashton has a lot of things handed over to Ma Ziqiang, Ma Ziqiang's report is submitted to Ashton, basically there is no non-approval, and generally support.

"Sit down, what's going on outside" Ashton asked, the uneasy atmosphere and Ma Ziqiang's gathering of people, Ashton knows,

"Sir, here's the thing,.............." Ma Ziqiang told everything again, Ashton's sweat came down, Patten is really crazy, London will definitely not have such an order, the strength of the umbrella London is very clear, this is completely to let the two sides fight to the death, Patten is a dead chess that makes both sides have no way out.

"What Lin Sheng means is that you can choose freely, however, I don't recommend that you support Patten "Ma Ziqiang looked at Ashton and said, people have feelings, Ashton is good to Ma Ziqiang, and both parties know this.

"That madman, the ghost is with him, but, Ma, I have to report this matter to London, as for how London decided that we can't interfere, I guess Lin Sheng has also made efforts in London, let them talk about it by themselves, let's leave it alone, it's really to a certain point, Ma, don't let me suffer" Ashton closed his eyes and said, there is no way, some things are known to be dead and must die, Ma Ziqiang and him are people who have no choice.

In front of Ma Ziqiang, Ashton's phone call was directly to the Secretary of State for Home Affairs, the direct boss of the Governor of Hong Kong and the Commissioner of Police is the Secretary of State for Home Affairs, after listening to Ashton's report, the sleepiness on his body is not at all, crazy, the Governor of Hong Kong is indeed crazy, after the phone hung up, the Secretary of the Interior directly called the Governor, but unfortunately, the secretary answered, the Governor of Hong Kong did not answer the phone, even if it was the Secretary of State, the Governor of Hong Kong did not answer the phone.

The Minister of the Interior knew that Chris Patten had made up his mind, picked up his coat and went out, and went directly to the Prime Minister's Office, this matter must be reported First of all, the last colony of the British Empire is going to be lost, he knows very well the power of the umbrella, since the governor of Hong Kong has torn his face, then the umbrella will definitely not sit still, and resistance is necessary.

When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, Baird had already arrived, and Mrs. Thatcher had already known everything about the matter, frowning and silent, and glanced at the Home Secretary, "This is the candidate you chose to be the governor of Hong Kong, waste one" It can be seen how angry the iron-fisted female Prime Minister is.

It wasn't very long, the rest of the cabinet ministers came, Baird left the prime minister's office, he was not qualified enough to participate, but when he left, he said, "Prime minister, cabinets, I'll just say a word, Patten must have allies, the United States can't support him, and Western countries can't support him, then the only one left, I hope you think about it clearly, one is not careful, we will stand on the opposite side of the Western society, I hope you can think about it clearly" Baird left after speaking, He has been thinking about this matter, who gave Patten the guts, and the estimation that the whole Southeast Asia can give him guts is the polar bear, and the others don't have the guts.

Mrs. Thatcher looked at the cabinet members, what Baird said just now is exactly what he was worried about, once this really happens, Britain's position will be very embarrassing, and many countries will begin to guard against Britain, which is definitely not in the interests of the British Empire, so what to do now.

"Gentlemen, what Baird said just now is exactly what I am worried about, you can think about it, tell me, what should we do, this stupid governor of Hong Kong, what a madman" Margaret Thatcher really did not have any good feelings, which made the London government too passive.

"Is it possible to take a step back from the umbrella, as far as I know, the chairman of the umbrella is currently in Paris, France," said the foreign secretary, who is more well-informed and knows some news faster than others.

"Now it's going to kill him, you say, it's estimated that no one will put up with it, and the umbrella is not a good thing," said the Minister of War, very straightforwardly, it is not a good bird, it is better to die together.

"Home Secretary, have you contacted the Governor of Hong Kong, let him tell him that those people and equipment have been handed over, and there is room for relaxation, otherwise, this time the British Empire will be ruthlessly disgraced in front of the world" The Foreign Secretary spoke a little yin and yang, and the Home Secretary's face was red

"He doesn't answer my phone now" Although it was embarrassing, the Minister of the Interior still told the truth, but now there is no time to hide anything, and the other people look at him with a look of contempt, and they can't even control their own subordinates, which is really embarrassing.

The heart of the Secretary of the Interior is dripping blood, if Patten can return to London, the humiliation he has suffered today will definitely be doubled for Patten to taste, this humiliation is really unforgettable for the rest of his life.

The gossip began to discuss, but there was no complete opinion, Mrs. Thatcher looked at these people, she really had a headache, knocked on the table, "Gentlemen, what I need now is constructive questions, not useless suggestions, OK" Looking at Mrs. Thatcher's iron face, she was silent.

After a long time, the Minister of the Navy spoke, and he had not spoken just now, "Prime Minister, we will return Hong Kong to the Northern Continent in a few years, and the handover ceremony will be a shame for us in Great Britain, I have a proposal, simply, directly sell the management rights of the next few years to the umbrella, and let the umbrella hand over to the Northern Continent when the time comes, a place that we will give up sooner or later, it is not worth investing in it."

Hearing this proposal, they all began to be silent, it can be described as a shame to return the right to rule, this is something that all the high-ranking officials of the British Empire will not do, whoever goes will be despised, will be deeply remembered by history, and will be the sinners of the British Empire in the future, and now this proposal of the Secretary of the Navy can completely solve this problem, and at the same time can solve the matter in front of him, which is a very good proposal.

"No, this proposal, at least the Northern Continent will not accept it, if the power is to be sold in the next few years, they will also pay for it, the matter of national sovereignty, it is estimated that they will not give in" The Minister of the Air Force said calmly, and the matter was stopped.

The foreign minister thought for a while, "Can we appoint Lin Xiaotian as the governor of Hong Kong and let the Commissioner of Police escort Patten back, how about this", this sentence made everyone's eyes light up, and they all felt that this road was feasible,

"No, Lin Xiaotian, the chairman of the umbrella, is not a citizen of the British Empire, and he holds a passport from the United States," the Secretary of State for the Interior said, and everyone began to ponder again, anyway, now there is a purpose, to completely get rid of this burden.

"It's okay to let the umbrella make its own people in Hong Kong, let's take a name, when the time is about to come, we will throw out the agreement, let the umbrella and the northern mainland go to the skin, we don't care" The foreign minister said, many people began to nod, Hong Kong is too far away from the British mainland, the British is really beyond the reach of the whip, plus now the national strength is exhausted, there can be one less shameful thing.

Mrs. Thatcher remembered her wrestling in Tianjing, and a smile appeared on her face, yes, it is impossible to want the British Empire to bow its head, "In this way, the Foreign Secretary went to contact Lin Xiaotian, the chairman of the umbrella, and the Secretary of the Interior informed the Hong Kong side to control Patten first, and after the negotiations with the umbrella are completed, let the Commissioner of Police personally escort him back to London, and Hong Kong will be handed over to the umbrella to toss, is there any objection" Mrs. Thatcher looked around, everyone had no opinion, and smiled, When everyone thought that this matter was going to pass, Mrs. Thatcher came again,

"Raise your hand in agreement with the opinion just now" After speaking, he raised his hand, and the cabinet ministers all smiled bitterly, this woman is too shrewd, in this way, this matter is the decision of the entire cabinet, not the decision of the prime minister, and no one can say that Mrs. Thatcher is not in the future, she is worthy of being the prime minister, this head is turning too fast.

After everyone came out of the prime minister's office, the foreign secretary looked at Baird, "Baird, you get in the car with me" and said, turned around and left, Baird followed behind, knowing that the cabinet of the London government had already made a decision.

Historically, the British government really had this move, the last few years of Hong Kong's ruling power to sell, when Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and other places of the rich, especially Hong Kong's tycoons once formed a group to buy, but was denied by the northern mainland, at that time, if Britain did this, the northern mainland immediately took back Hong Kong, exercised sovereignty, and did what it said, the troops immediately stationed troops near Hong Kong, so that the matter was finally over, and persisted until July 1, 1997, Hong Kong officially returned, Who came when he returned, only Prince Charles of the royal family, and the last Hong Kong governor Chris Patten, and none of the other high-ranking officials in London, in the eyes of the British, it was the same as Li Hongzhang signing an agreement during the Manchu Dynasty, which would leave a reputation for eternity, but if possible, no one would come.

Now that there is such a freak as the umbrella, history has twisted his waist a little, and Lin Xiaotian would never have imagined that the London government would decide the fate of Hong Kong in this way, it is really not distressing for the colony.

Baird followed the foreign minister into the car, but the foreign minister didn't say anything in the car, and returned to the foreign secretary's office, and the foreign minister told Baird about the matter, and asked Baird to contact Lin Xiaotian under the umbrella, and the foreign minister wanted to talk to Lin Xiaotian in person, Baird was a little confused, was this matter a little too mysterious, why couldn't he see through the things here, and didn't call directly, but looked at the foreign minister and wanted an explanation.

The Foreign Minister explained a little, and Baird suddenly realized, yes, the best solution to this matter, completely maintaining the face of the British Empire, and solving the current problem, the key now depends on how much Lin Xiaotian invests.
