Any conqueror who wants to rule a land for a long time must wash away the original national imprint of the people in the conquered land.

It takes a lot of time and a lot of price for people who want a nation to lose their cohesion and sense of belonging to the nation.

For example, using culture to rinse them from generation to generation, and spiritually cut off their identity with the original nation.

The British almost did it in history, that's why there are so many ports. Duyingnu exists, but the road is far away, and he will never let this happen.

Therefore, not only did he execute all the people of the thousands of Victory Society and other organizations before, but now he directly woke them up and let them fight as a Chinese to defend the land under their feet!

As long as they have fought and shed blood for this land under their feet, then they, their families, will never allow those harbors. The existence of Duyingnu, once this kind of person appears, will definitely end up with a situation where everyone shouts and beats a rat on the street!

There will never be again those harbors that were originally in history. Not only does Duyingnu jump up and down, but also often gets the support of many people in Hong Kong.

On the border side, the sound of guns and artillery has already sounded, but it is only a tentative attack by the Japanese army, and now their planes have not been able to mobilize on a large scale, and the artillery has lost everything, and it has to be mobilized from other battlefields to this side, and it will take a lot of time.

This kind of offensive can be easily dealt with by the Anglo-Indian coalition forces.

Lu Yuan's efforts in this regard were only to push the defensive line forward, preparing to closely block every inch of land that the Japanese army had set foot on, rather than concentrating all defensive efforts on the Drunken Bay defense line as the previous British army had done.

His current energy is still internal.

On the one hand, let the bull pimple, the lone wolf, the big dog bear and others conduct assault training for the reserve and the militia, whether it is shooting, throwing bombs, or white blades.

At the same time of training, the instructors were asked to carry out political propaganda and education for these personnel as usual, supplemented by speeches on combat heroes, and these personnel were organized in batches to see the hills on the front line of confrontation, so that they could observe the actual combat situation on the battlefield, so that these people could have a clear understanding of the cruelty of the battlefield.

On the other hand, Lu Yuan convened a meeting of all Hong Kong's celebrities and gentry, and the shopkeepers of the rice shop to buy the food and other materials in the hands of these people at the market price, and then unified control, and at the same time let these celebrities and gentry contact their respective networks to see if they could also guarantee the supply of materials to Hong Kong during the war.

The celebrities and gentry obviously didn't agree so easily, but after Lu Yuan dragged these people and their families to the mountains of corpses of the Victory Society and other organizations that had not yet been buried, they immediately spoke very well.

Of course, Lu Yuan also gave these celebrities and gentry a series of guarantees, such as when they take over the rule of Hong Kong in the future, they will be given certain preferential policies in all aspects.

Collecting the food materials from the shops of the Hong Kong celebrity gentry grain store, Lu Yuan's financial resources are obviously impossible to do, but he also has a way - Sir Yang Muqi opened the warehouse of the British Imperial Bank in tears, and watched the inventory of pounds and US dollars, gold bars and silver coins and other waterways shipped out, with an expression like you have been robbed in your own warehouse.

After dealing with all this, plus the surplus grain collected from the Victory Society, the storehouses on Lantau Island, and the surplus grain from the Hong Kong people's own homes, there will not be a big crisis in Hong Kong in terms of food within two or three months.

Next, Lu Yuan has to solve the problem of water sources.

Drinking fresh water has always been the biggest problem for Hong Kong residents in this era.

More than a dozen large and small pools have been built on the island, but they still cannot completely solve the water problem, especially in the rainy season, the water source problem is quite tight.

At this time, Hong Kong's water supply mainly relied on the Victoria Reservoir in the Wong Nai Chung Shan Gorge.

Therefore, the British army also knew the importance of the reservoir, and set up many fortifications around the reservoir, and would spare no effort to protect this most important source of water in Hong Kong in the event of war.

Historically, as soon as the Japanese army attacked Hong Kong, they concentrated artillery fire on the Victoria Reservoir and bombarded it indiscriminately, and even the first shell hit the defensive settings around the reservoir.

When the Japanese attacked Wong Nai Chung and prepared to destroy the reservoir, the British army could not make effective resistance, and the Victoria Reservoir fell into the hands of the Japanese early, which directly triggered the water crisis in Hong Kong.

Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kongers rushed around in fear for a sip of clean water, which directly played an invaluable role in the rapid fall of Hong Kong.

The little devil's artillery fire is accurate, but if it is so accurate, then there is a problem!

In fact, this problem happened very early, almost 20 years ago!

Twenty years ago in 1921, but still the remnants of the Japanese crown prince of the Emperor's kitchen England, by the way to stay in Hong Kong.

At the grand welcome banquet held by the British generals and officials in Hong Kong, Hirohito made a very strange request - to visit the Victoria Reservoir!

Supposedly, this reservoir is not a place of interest, and most people will never have any interest in visiting it unless they have a pit in their head!

But Hirohito brought it up, and the relationship between Britain and Japan was still very good at that time, and the governor at that time did not refuse and allowed it.

The next day, Hirohito and Prince Zaihito of the Retreat Palace and Shiro Kawako came to the Huangniyong Mountain Gorge, carefully inspected the reservoir that supplied water to the whole island at that time, learned about its pumping equipment and defense facilities, overlooked the surrounding terrain and passages, and asked a crucial question: Can the reservoir be filled with water for several days at a time?

The answer is unreserved: two days!

After participating in the reservoir, Hirohito and his entourage broke the routine and ignored safety issues, and the group hiked down the mountain with great interest!

Why did Hirohito suddenly become interested in hiking? No one knows the answer to this question.

It was not until twenty years later that the first shells of the Japanese artillery hit the fortifications there, and then it became known: it turned out that the foot survey was more accurate than the aerial survey!

During the Japanese attack on Hong Kong, in order to force the British army to surrender, the Japanese army adopted extremely cruel methods against the British troops stationed in Hong Kong, and even skinned many British soldiers alive, which is unimaginable.

Hirohito's visit to Hong Kong and the courtesy of a distinguished guest, but he was not grateful for the detection intelligence that harbored evil intentions, on the one hand, it shows that the Japanese are wolf-hearted, even their emperor, not to mention those Japanese soldiers?

On the other hand, it also shows that the ambition of the Japanese aggression is simply engraved in their bones, and you are preparing for aggression anytime and anywhere!
