Instructor Albert Kirchbach the Great, Instructor Albert Kirchbach Jr., Lu Kangtian, Xuan Jianzhang, Luo Guozhong, Wang Dashan, Xue He and other senior officers were stunned and didn't know what President Meng was going to do. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, all the officers had a lot of opinions about President Meng's sudden announcement of the dissolution of Huaguo, the dissolution of the Chinese army and the Huacui Party, but they didn't say it.

Princess Katrina Kafu and Gege didn't know what Xuan Yuemeng was going to do.

"Our goal is Hong Kong, and we are targeting Hong Kong! The sea, the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the Taiwan Sea will all become the footbaths of the Chinese army! President Meng sat in the comfortable cabin, calmly looking at the officers under him, emotional, hysterical voice, like a declaration soaring into the sky.

Everyone was completely confused, and President Meng's emotions fluctuated and turned around, and he had no clue.

Geger stood up suddenly, "You! You're not going to dissolve the Chinese state? Isn't Hong Kong British? Why are you going to fight Hong Kong? You lied to everyone? Are you ignoring the treaty? Have you forgotten that you have just signed the treaty of surrender to the imperial court? ”

President Meng said calmly: "That's right, I haven't forgotten, I just agreed to dissolve Huaguo, I didn't say how long it will take to disband!" I don't fight the Qing court anymore, why can't I fight the British? I and Britain are still at war, hostilities, why can't we strike? What does this have to do with treaties? ”

Gege was completely speechless, "Are you using strong words and reasoning, in the past?" ”

Xuan Jianzhang, Xuan Dali and the others stood up all at once, and their hands were on the handle of the gun!

This time, President Meng brought Xuan Dali, because Xuan Dali asked to follow President Meng, and President Meng was also up to him, and generally the subordinates asked for a transfer, and President Meng would approve it, not to mention people who were close to him.

Seeing the emotions of the officers, President Meng was afraid that Jiegege would suffer a loss and couldn't control it.

President Meng also stood up, "Why can't you say it?" What rule did I break? ”

"I understand, you never thought about disbanding Huaguo from beginning to end, you are a liar." With that, he ran out of the cabin in tears.

President Meng sweated, he didn't expect Jiegege to cry angrily, and motioned to Qiu Yun to follow, Qiu Yun hurriedly followed, the ship was full of President Meng's guards, and a group of professional agents were also trained, don't worry about Jiegege's safety, President Meng can't care about explaining anything to Jiege for the time being.

Instructor Albert Kirchbach is not thinking about moral issues, President Meng does not pay attention to the rules, everyone knows that a surprise attack is not impossible, "President, one of our field brigades plus artillery regiments is very strong, but the British army in Hong Kong is not less than 3,000 people, and it is well-equipped, plus the police force, it should be nearly 10,000 people, and there are batteries, there are more than ten warships, we don't even bring battleships, just these people, what are we going to do?" ”

President Meng smiled faintly and said, "Don't judge things that you haven't tried, I said, we have more than fifty percent chance of winning, it's worth giving it a try!" If you think about it, just because their navy has absolute superiority, we don't take battleships with us, and our ironclad ships with guns next to the ship are taken out, which is simply used as a joke, even if the newly captured British 7 frigates and 2 light cruisers are pulled out, it is not enough for the British naval fleet to plug the teeth, and the British army can block my entire fleet with a single medium cruiser! In naval warfare, strength is the last word, but tactics are secondary. So, simply don't bring it over, do you know why I want to transfer the army on a freighter? ”

Instructor Albert Kirschbach understood, and was speechless, sneak attack, sneak attack, it seems that President Meng has a routine to fight, that is, sneak attack.

"Even if it is a sneak attack, if we can't successfully take the British fortress, there will be no way out! How can we be hidden along the way with such a large number of troops? And the Qing army in Guangzhou, didn't the president think that in case of reinforcements from the Qing army, we would face tens of thousands of enemy troops? You are suddenly interspersed behind enemy lines, and your army will be encircled at any time, won't we go back to Danzhou? "Instructor Albert Kirchbach really can't figure out why President Meng was able to make such a bold plan to sneak into Hong Kong from Tianjin Port in such a short period of time.

President Meng smiled: "Yes, what if you are under siege?" If the fight against Hong Kong goes well, and we have Hong Kong as a backing, are we afraid of falling into a heavy encirclement? Let me tell you, the Qing army doesn't have to think about it, they don't dare to reinforce, from the British army asking them for help, to the governor of Liangguang asking the Qing court for instructions, and then to the Qing court to study, we have already finished fighting! The only thing to consider is how to take Hong Kong smoothly! I'm not just going to defeat the British Army, I'm going to want their fleet! ”

All the officers exchanged heads and ears for a while, they are Chinese, naturally they understand the national situation better than foreigners, not to mention the army in Guangdong, even the Huai army in Tianjin dare not start a war casually!

What President Meng said is reasonable!

The mood of the officers immediately rose high, the army was all fought, and these people fought continuously, and they had already been trained by President Meng like a pack of hungry wolves.

Xuan Jianzhang was the first to stand up, "President, let my regiment be the vanguard!" ”

President Meng smiled and pressed his hand, asked Xuan Jianzhang to sit down, and asked the secretary to hang up the map of Hong Kong, which was a detailed map prepared by the Guangdong Station of the Bureau of Statistics, which marked the deployment of British troops and the location of each battery.

At this time, Hong Kong was already very prosperous, and the British contributed to this.

Before 1840, Hong Kong was a small fishing village; In 1842, China and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanjing, ceding Hong Kong Island to Britain and becoming a British colony.

The Qing Dynasty sent troops to the New Territories in 1662 and ordered the villagers to wear braids.

During the Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong played an important role in foreign trade, because Hong Kong was geographically close to Guangzhou, which was the only commercial port open to the outside world during the Qing Dynasty.

Before the British occupation of Hong Kong, Hong Kong was basically a desert island, with some fishermen living in Stanley, Tai Tam Tuk and Shek Pai Wan in the south of the island and Ah Kung Rock and Shui Jing Wan in the east.

In other places such as Wong Nai Chung, Deng Di Chau, and Seven Sisters, there were some small village bays, and at that time, there were about 3,000 residents on the island.

The British saw the potential of Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour as an excellent port in East Asia until the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the late 19th century, when the territory was ceded and leased to the British as a British colony.

January 26, 1841: After the First Opium War, the British forcibly occupied Hong Kong Island, after which the Qing government tried to recover it by force, and the Daoguang Emperor issued several edicts to this effect, but the Qing Dynasty was never able to defend its territorial integrity.

August 29, 1842: The Qing government signed the unequal Treaty of Nanking (formerly known as the Treaty of Jiangning) with the British, ceding Hong Kong Island to the British.

24 October 1860: China and Britain signed the unequal Treaty of Peking, ceding the area south of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula to the British.

President Meng pointed to a huge map of Hong Kong with a hollow baton, "The British Army in Hong Kong consists of four barracks, plus a naval port!" Hong Kong is easy to attack and difficult to defend, which is why I dare to attack Hong Kong. ”

Everyone doesn't understand, why do you want to lay down a Hong Kong Island that is easy to attack and difficult to defend? If you can't hold it, what's the use of beating it down?

President Meng believes that if he can fight down, he will be able to hold it! As long as he takes Hong Kong, his economic strategy will be fully lived, so Hong Kong is a very important part of President Meng's strategic plan.

"There are more than 8,000 British troops in Hong Kong, and the total number of police forces is about 14,000. There are more than 800,000 people, remember, these people are all Chinese people, although the British army has been entrenched in Hong Kong for more than 30 years, it does not affect the people's feelings for the motherland. President Meng analyzed while moving, more than 30 years, Lao Tzu wants to recover Hong Kong one hundred and thirty years in advance, really one hundred and thirty years later, even if it is recovered, the psychology of the people also needs a long buffer period, and even young people don't know where they are!

Seeing that President Meng's intelligence has been so meticulous, all the officers have increased their confidence a lot, and the officers know the value of intelligence best!

President Meng spends too much money on intelligence, and the Guangdong station alone accounts for half of Jiangnan's expenses. (To be continued.) )
