Chapter 591: I Have Chips

There is not much information about the British army's defensive artillery positions on Battery Hill, after all, you can't expect those indigenous peripheral intelligence agents in the late nineteenth century to provide you with accurate data with latitude and longitude coordinates, right?

However, fortunately, Xu Jing and Feng Lan piloted an F-15E "Strike Eagle" mainly for ground attack missions, and it was not difficult to pull out the British artillery positions from Battery Mountain, which was still a wilderness.

Of course, none of the rough embryos will take the effect of this air raid to heart, after all, in their eyes, this is just a slimming down and reducing the burden of this F-15E in order to land safely.

There was no laser signal to provide guidance for the precision-guided bombs, and the two sisters were in a hurry to return to Dong Wanlu before sunset, and the "gem paths" hanging under the wings of the F-15E were scattered by Feng Lan after the on-board computer estimated the amount of advance.

After dropping the bomb, the two sisters didn't even bother to do an air raid assessment and turned back, after all, in this era when the enemy army did not have any air defense weapons, the biggest threat to them should be to land at the broken airport in Dongwanlu, and land at night at the airport with no radar runway and only sparse side lights, even an old bird like Xu Jing is frightened, and it is more reliable to return to Dongwanlu before dark.

Although the wooden tower of Dongwanlu Airport is now occupied by some air traffic control personnel who used to work in civil aviation, due to the lack of necessary equipment, most of the time they can only rely on "fart chatting" to carry out air traffic control command work.

The "Gem Road", which was hastily thrown down by the F-15E, raised several huge columns of smoke after the explosion on Battery Hill, which was visible to almost everyone in Victoria Harbour, and the rough embryos had no time to care about the effect of the air raid, but the British, whose communications were choked, were anxiously waiting for the North Point Fort to deliver a report on the battle damage.

"General, our artillery position in the North Cape is under attack by the Great Song people!" Locke, then the Auxiliary Secretary of the British Government of Hong Kong, hurriedly walked into the bunker and said to Buli.

"Yes, Mr. Locke, the Great Song people have attacked our artillery position at North Point, and even the American sailors who are watching the bustle from the deck know about it." Brie gave Locke an angry look.

The Auxiliary Secretary is also translated as Chief Secretary in some sources, that is, the Principal Secretary to the Governor of Hong Kong, who is the Chief Executive of the British Government of Hong Kong and oversees all civil servants. In the event that the Governor of Hong Kong leaves Hong Kong or is unable to administer government for any reason, the Auxiliary Secretary shall immediately become the Acting Governor of Hong Kong and act as Governor of Hong Kong.

However, the situation on the British's side is actually the same as that that Bridget talked about when he was chatting with Zuo Hui and them, and after Robinson, the bearded man with blood mold, was caught by the rough embryos, someone immediately started to think about the governor's throne that he had vacated.

Although according to the law, the Vice-Chancellor Locke should replace Robinson to exercise the powers of the Governor, but now that Hong Kong is in a state of war, the commander of the British forces in Hong Kong, who holds the military power, has a reason not to follow the old practice, he feels that as long as he works hard in this situation, he can still hope to sit in the position of the Governor, after all, the Governor is really too much oil and water compared to the commander of the garrison!

At present, the little abacus in Bu Li's heart is to kill the bearded man, and then he will ascend to the throne of the governor of Hong Kong by virtue of his efforts to fight the rebellion. However, Luo Ke, who was closer to Robinson, knew that the old bearded man had already retired, and he had indeed received a promise from Robinson to nominate him as the next governor. Well, it had to be a living Robinson to be able to lobby for recommendations to the colonial minister.

As a result, there was a discordant scene on the side of the British, in which Bully insisted on sending a large number of troops to attack to regain the governor, while Locke insisted on rescuing the governor through negotiations.

Of course, the military power was firmly in the hands of Bu Lier, and he didn't care about the protests of the Auxiliary Secretary Luo Ke, as long as he held the not too wide waters on the east and west sides of Victoria Harbour, those small forces of the Great Song Dynasty that had infiltrated Hong Kong Island would soon be wiped out by the British Imperial Army without follow-up support.

This is really not an excuse made up by Bu Li to fool everyone in order to trap Robinson to death, he really thinks in his heart that he can rely on laying mines and relying on coastal defense artillery to defend Hong Kong, after all, even if Robinson hangs, he must defend Hong Kong before he can be promoted to the governor of Hong Kong.

And the reason why Locke came to emphasize to Bully the well-known news of the attack on the British position in the North Cape was just to knock him down: Your so-called battle plan has been lost.

Laying mines? The warships of the Great Song people have crossed the observation post we set up at Davis Ridge and blocked the sea mouth east of Victoria Harbour, are you planning to lay mines in the bay!? That's a bad trick that doesn't leave you with a back road at all!

Shore defense artillery? The artillery positions set up on the high ground in North Point have all been taken away, and those shore defense guns in the harbor are probably more auspicious, right?

"So let's find a way to negotiate with the Great Song people!" Locke said to Brie.

"Hmph, so far, the Great Song people have not suffered even the slightest bit, even if you have a way to get them to sit at the negotiating table, then what leverage do we have?" Brie said.

"I have enough chips to exchange the Governor from the Great Song people, so that even if the war is unfavorable in the end, we can withdraw from Hong Kong Island with dignity." Locke said.

Buli and Luo Ke both had their own little abacus in their hearts, and for a while, the two of them were arguing and saliva, and they couldn't reach a consensus at all. While the two men were arguing, a white employee of the British government in Hong Kong, who had accompanied Locke to the Buri command post, quietly withdrew and slipped a small note to a white policeman who was acting as an escort.

Not all of the British employees in the overseas colonies were British, and many of them were white people from areas like Scotland and Ireland who were not very concerned about the honor of the United Kingdom, and many of them felt that the gold that Ms. Lu had thrown was a little more tangible than anything else.

"I'll order mines to be laid in Victoria Bay, and those big Song rats that infiltrate will soon be strangled to death by us!" Buli, who was slightly less eloquent, yelled hysterically after being forced by Locke.

"Don't think that the threat inside Hong Kong Island is only those small forces of the Great Song Dynasty that have infiltrated it, once those Americans attack together, then we will not be able to deal with it." Locke continued.

"Americans? Hmph, if they dared to do it, they wouldn't have been detained by us for so long! "Bu Li looks down on Eagle Sauce's fleet that has been detained for a long time from the bottom of his heart.

However, what happened next made Bu Li realize that he couldn't talk too much, and the people on the other side of the harbor who were confronting each other with weapons were all hormonal young people, one side was made a lot of noise because of the gunfire on the island, and the other side was dancing excitedly because of the big attack of friendly forces, this is a situation where a little spark will form a big explosion!
