On the Xiangjiang side, they didn't dare to manage it at all, although the mainland side had a heart to manage it, but at that time, the mainland itself was fighting and couldn't manage it. This incident highlights the situation of the Governor of Xiangjiang in Xiangjiang, who did not have the ability to grasp a qiē.

And what also reflects the sense of powerlessness of the governor of Xiangjiang is the incident of Guo Yingdong. During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, Guo Yingdong personally led a large group of small fleets to transport a large amount of supplies to the mainland at night.

These include medicines, raw materials and other types of supplies. Even the governor of Xiangjiang at that time was extremely dissatisfied, even the British side at that time organized a large number of patrol fleets.

Even an official of the U.S. Department of Commerce at the time declared that "nothing that can be used by a soldier is not allowed to be brought in." ”

However, Guo Yingdong was still able to find a gap to organize manpower and send a large amount of supplies to the mainland to support the mainland's war in North Korea. But even though Guo Yingdong did these things, he was never arrested.

The Governor of Xiangjiang and the British gritted their teeth at him, but they only dared to embarrass him on commercial matters. Nor did he dare to deal directly with him, or to his assets. This also highlights the ability of the Governor of Hong Kong, and even the British side, to control Hong Kong. Indeed, on the surface, they manage Xiangjiang, but in reality their control is very limited.

"Ready, let's fly back." saw that the old man paused for his dragon head cane, and said in a deep voice: "Just let Zhicheng and them prepare, don't alarm too many people......"

Saying that, the old man snorted coldly: "These cubs, have all their brains broken in just a few years?!" I didn't look for the main owner, but I made a fuss there! ”

At this time, the imperial capital welcomed a guest from afar. Or rather, a wicked guest from afar. But even if the person who came was a villain, the leaders of the imperial capital still greeted the villain with a smile.

The perimeter of the airport in the imperial capital was fully controlled, and all the key nodes were controlled. The convoy and the guard of honor of the three services entered the airport to greet the guest. Several leaders at the top accompanied the guest on the procession.

Subsequently, the two sides set off from the airport and rushed to Ouchi. There, a welcome banquet was set up. The guests were full of confidence, smiling and smiling, and said some official words at the banquet with their entourage and henchmen.

Everyone knows each other that now is the time when it is impossible to tell the truth. It is unlikely that there will be much progress in the negotiations, and this is the time when everyone will greet each other and test it. The next part of the negotiations is the point.

"Jeffrey. Do you think we will be able to achieve the desired results in this negotiation?! Finally returning to the hotel from the reception, the smiling lady at the reception looked tired.

This room has been thoroughly inspected, and MI5 is not a vegetarian after all. The Prime Minister personally came to such a red country, and they couldn't help but be highly nervous.

That's right, it was Margaret Thatcher, the current British Prime Minister, who was known as the Iron Lady, who arrived. And with her to the Imperial Capital was the current Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the British Empire, a member of the Privy Council and a veteran Conservative politician, Geoffrey. Heroic.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is still unknown...... Jeffrey looked at the tired Thatcher and smiled bitterly: "Presumably you know better than me about the situation of the last negotiation......

Thatcher did know better. Because that year, she was extremely tough and encountered a leader who was even tougher than her. If she is the "Iron Lady". Then this seemingly breezy opponent is the "steel company".

Thatcher, who was once extremely tough, seemed to be unable to use any means in front of him. If you are tough, you find that your opponent is tougher than you! And most importantly: the opponent has more tough capital than you.

So, Thatcher was defeated. In front of the negotiation hall, she fell to her knees from the stairs in distraction. The incident became one of the few embarrassing stains in her political career in public.

Thatcher was famously tough, and even on her first visit to China, she expressed her toughness. When most Western leaders come to the imperial capital, they spontaneously lay wreaths at the monument that stands in front of the Great Hall.

Thatcher was the only one who told the Chinese side directly through the foreign affairs department that she was unwilling to lay a wreath. The reason is: there is a relief of Humen gunsmoke on it. She thinks that those anti-British heroes are alive and well. Let she, as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, not be able to pay tribute to them.

Even though Britain's foreign ministry said it was a common practice among Western leaders, she refused to change her attitude. In fact, this was also a message she sent to the Chinese side at that time: I am very tough.

But the Chinese side cannot deny it. She was not required to lay a wreath. Just when she thought that the Chinese side was showing weakness, she was hit hard by the old man known as the "steel company"!

At the first meeting, she insisted that Britain should enjoy sovereignty over Hong Kong Island and Ap Lei Chau, the Kowloon Peninsula and Stonecutters Island in accordance with the Treaty of Jinling, the Imperial Capital Treaty and the 1898 Treaty on the Extension of the Boundary Site of Hong Kong.

Arrogantly proclaim that this qiē belongs to Britain and will always belong to Britain. This attitude stemmed from the two defeats of the Qing court and the cowardice of the national government after World War II.

The Treaty of Jinling, signed in 1842 after the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, permanently ceded Xiangjiang Island, along with Ap Lei Chau and nearby islands, to the British. Year 1860. The Qing Dynasty was defeated by the British and French forces in the Second World War and signed the Treaty of the Imperial Capital, which permanently ceded the south of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula to the British.

In 1898, the Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the "Treaty on the Extension of the Boundary of Hong Kong" with the British, leasing the "New Territories" including New Kowloon and more than 230 outlying islands for a period of 99 years. Thatcher declared that these areas belonged to Britain on this basis.

But what she didn't expect was. The old man said lightly: the issue of sovereignty is not negotiable! Directly crush all her preparations. A word that comes with this: if anything goes wrong, we don't mind taking it back in any other way!

When the Iron Maiden encounters a tougher steel company than her, she can only end up in defeat. Don't blame her for stumbling in front of the Great Hall, because the pressure on her was too great.

The old man in front of her had already tested the combat effectiveness of the army belonging to this country on the battlefield. And what about the British Empire?! After World War II, can you still fight?! Can you travel thousands of miles across the ocean and come from the British Empire to fight in Xiangjiang?!

Will Britain be able to cope with an army that once forced the Americans to sit at the negotiating table on the Korean battlefield?! What price does Britain have to pay to keep Xiangjiang?!

Think of millions of armies, and overwhelming torrents of steel. The lady shuddered, this was not a threat, not a warning. Instead, this old man is simply stating a fact: he has the ability to get Xiangjiang back in any way at any time!

No matter what the British think, no matter what the British do, if you want to keep the last bit of face. Then sign the agreement at the negotiating table honestly. It wasn't until this moment that the lady came to her senses.

What he faced was not the rotten Qing court. It is not a submissive Republic of China. What she was faced with was being able to force the Americans to sign the agreement on the Korean battlefield and easily driving out the French in Vietnam.

Before it became strong, it dared to directly paralyze the British Amester on the river surface of the army and groups. They are no longer the weakness they once were, they are just like Britain with nuclear weapons and as the five permanent members of the United Nations.

And the old man opposite her, decades of killing and crusing. So far, countless political tides have crashed on the shore, and the old man has already looked down on it. Thatcher's style seemed to him to be nothing more than child's play.

The reason why he asked Thatcher to come over was just to tell her the fact that if we didn't return it, then we would be less gentle when we went to get it ourselves. So, please don't misjudge.

Thatcher did not misjudge, she was extremely accurate in judging the meaning of the old man's message. She also accurately judged that if this old man or the mainland planned to do something, the British Empire would be powerless to resist.

Based on these judgments, the "Iron Lady" will kneel in front of the Great Hall. Because she really felt fear and powerlessness, the powerlessness to plan rebellion against the strong.

In this world, after all, a big fist is the last word. Back then, Britain's fist was big enough, even if he used crooked reasoning to snatch it, it was the truth. And now, too, the old man shouted with his fist to the British: Now what I say is the truth.

"We're going to give it a try!" Thatcher summoned up what little courage he had left, and said to Geoffrey: "On the Falklands battlefield, our soldiers told the world that the glory of the British Empire is still there!" ”

"So, I think we can fight for it a little bit. See if you can get the best results. At least...... I hope that we can protect some of our interests in Heung Kong and give us one more outlet to the Far East. ”

Jeffrey couldn't help but bow his head and smile bitterly when he heard this, this lady took it for granted. Can you think of it, wouldn't this old man in the imperial capital think of it?! Those thinkers in the imperial capital, would they not have thought of it?!

Perhaps they know better than anyone what the weakness of the British Empire is now. Indeed, the British Empire's toughness and offensive in the Falklands War bore fruit. But that's just on the basis that the opponent is Argentina.

After hundreds of years of naval accumulation, the British Empire can't even beat a small Argentina. Then the entire navy of the British Empire went home and fed the children.

But what about the opponent for China?! And it's a land battle?! Can the British Empire compare with China, which forced the United States to sit down at the negotiating table, expelled the French from Vietnam, and now beats Vietnam in a daze?!

The answer is obvious, but Jeffrey is unwilling to face it...... (To be continued......)
