"President, the British have surrendered!" Lu Kangtian's excited voice was choked, although it was only twelve days of fighting, but these twelve days were more tiring than twelve months on the Korean battlefield, the pressure of the British army and the Japanese pirate group, and the rebels in Korea with cold weapons were not the same concept at all.

Thermal weapons warfare is to burn money, fight for strength, and fight for logistics, and the two sides on this island are almost always decided by a battle, and without strong logistical support, long-term battles, winning or losing, are all a matter of firing a cannon.

is the same as a woman, if you give it to it, you will do it, and if you don't pull it down, you will be happy and ruthless.

Of course, the British army was women.

In the end, it did not resist the heroic and unyielding Chinese army.

President Meng listened to Lu Kangtian's call, and his emotions were difficult to calm down, special mother, what it took a hundred years for later generations to do, it took me two years to do it, Hong Kong was recovered, Hong Kong was recovered, Hong Kong was completely in the hands of the Chinese army!

"Accept their surrender and let the British lay down their arms! Inform the whole of Hong Kong that those who have hidden weapons will exterminate the nine clans! "President Moe gave an order from a very feudal ruler.

"Yes! President. Lu Kangtian hung up the phone happily, although Lu Kangtian was also tired and collapsed, but he was happy.

Princess Katrina Kafu excitedly shook President Meng's hand, "President, we won, such a large urban agglomeration is in our hands, and it is much better here than Danzhou." ”

President Meng smiled slightly, "It's better than Danzhou, but Danzhou is still our capital." ”

Princess Katrina Kafu nodded excitedly, "Yes, all of them, they are all from the president, and they are all from our country." ”

Jiegege looked at Hong Kong, which is composed of Western-style modern buildings one by one, and had mixed feelings in her heart, Jiegege was happy for President Meng, but she didn't want to show it, and at the same time, President Meng's major military victory cast a bigger shadow on Jiegege's heart, worried that President Meng would be on the road to oppose the Qing Dynasty from now on, and it would be difficult to turn back!

It took the Qing court more than 30 years to recover Hong Kong, and it didn't even hit Mao, but President Meng did all this in only 12 days, which made Jiegege's heart shake.

President Meng looked at Jie Gege, who was silent, and smiled slightly: "What? Is there anything you'd like to say? ”

Gege snorted softly, "So many people have died, what is there to say?" ”

President Meng officially moved into the Governor's Palace in Hong Kong.

President Meng is really called a mixed feelings this time.,In modern times,Before he was reborn and crossed.,But I want to die and go to Hong Kong to play.,Helpless to hang the silk wood is rich.,Now he's actually the owner of the Hong Kong Governor's Palace.,This makes President Meng think about it without mixed feelings.。

The Hong Kong Governor's Mansion is the Hong Kong Government House, which is located on Albik Road in the middle of Central on Hong Kong Island, and is the official residence of the Governor of Hong Kong.

Formerly known as the Governor's House, construction began in 1851 and was completed in 1855.

Government House Hong Kong is a British Georgian building with a strong colonial style, introducing large windows and balconies suitable for subtropical areas in British architecture.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of January 20th, after dinner, President Meng sat in the top floor office of the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, and accepted the surrender of Sir Kennedy, the Governor of Hong Kong, and Major General Walkerwolf, the commander of the British Army, and the British also signed the instrument of surrender.

This means that the Hong Kong War, in which the Chinese army and the British army died on a huge scale, with more than 10,000 soldiers killed and more than 100,000 civilians officially came to an end.

Kennedy, an Irishman, was the seventh British Governor of Hong Kong.

As a young man, he served in the army, then left the army to enter politics, served as an administrator in Ireland, and then transferred to the British Colonial Office, where he served twice as Governor of Zambia.

He has also held administrative positions in Canada and Australia. Sir Feng. He was appointed seventh Governor of Hong Kong on 16 April 1872. At that time, with the opening of the Suyitu Canal and the use of telegraph and new steamboats, the situation in Hong Kong took a certain turn for the better. However, because the Qing Dynasty government continued to implement the policy of "blockading Hong Kong" and greatly interfered with Hong Kong's sailing trade, he appointed a committee composed of three people, including Lai Li, chairman of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, to investigate the matter and submit an investigation report. After negotiations between China and Britain, the Qing government acceded to Hong Kong's request.

After the 60s of the 19th century, the Chinese in Hong Kong became more powerful, and wealthy people from the mainland continued to come to Hong Kong.

He was very good at reassuring the Chinese, saying that he could meet with representatives of Chinese businessmen at any time and listen to their opinions; Whenever there is a celebration, the governor invites more Chinese gentry and businessmen to participate; Government officials were also encouraged to learn Chinese, and examination committees were set up to issue certificates to European officials who learned Chinese.

In order to solve the problem of the quality of the police force at that time, he proposed to recruit more Chinese into the police force, increase the salary of police officers, and also implement the policy of deporting criminals to maintain social order in Hong Kong.

In terms of municipal construction, during his tenure, a new water main was built along the coast, and water was planned to be diverted from the new reservoir in Tai Tam to the urban area. 3 lighthouses were erected on the waterway near Victoria Harbour; Land was reclaimed in the Western District and named Kennedy Town.

He paid attention to the development of public education, a number of children were given the opportunity to attend school, and during his tenure, he also approved the issuance of the $1 note by HSBC, which was the first paper money to be issued in Hong Kong.

In order to provide medical services to more residents, a new hospital was proposed, but it was shelved due to financial problems.

In order to maintain stability, and because this Sir Kennedy is indeed capable, President Meng sincerely invited Sir Kennedy, the Governor of Hong Kong, to help with the transition.

If Sir Kennedy returns to England like this, he will have nothing, but if he agrees to President Moe like this, he is not willing, on the one hand, from the perspective of the country, this is a traitorous act, and on the other hand, he does not know whether the Chinese army can gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong.

"I'm sorry, Mr. President, I don't think I can promise you, my country will not be able to tolerate me." Sir Kennedy replied to President Moe.

President Meng smiled faintly, "You don't have to promise me right away, I know it's hard for you to accept, but you have to know that you just helped me manage and be my advisor, and I didn't ask you to continue to serve as the governor of Hong Kong." It's good that you do something that is good for society and that you can use your management skills. ”

Sir Kennedy looked at the little cute president, his heart was in turmoil, he couldn't figure it out, is there really such a prodigy in the world? In fact, Sir Kennedy and most of the Hong Kong residents have long heard of the name of President Meng, and now the three words President Meng are everyone's nightmare.

"Thank you President Moe for your kindness, I think, I'll discuss it with my wife." Sir Kennedy said with difficulty.

President Meng nodded, "Of course, I just made a suggestion, and I didn't mean to force you." If you become my advisor, your salary will be three times as high as before! ”

Jie Gege listened in amazement as Xuan Yuemeng spoke English to the British, and didn't know what else Xuan Yuemeng didn't know.

President Moe and Princess Katrina Kafu both speak Chinese, and only speak English when talking directly to foreigners, which is the first time Gege has heard President Moe's English.

"Your president can still speak foreign languages?" Gege asked Qiu Yun softly.

Qiu Yun smiled indifferently: "Not only will I know, but I can also write it very well." ”

Gege nodded and pouted, "Your president knows foreign language, and Princess Katrina Kafu knows Chinese." ”

That night, Ta Kung Pao in Hong Kong published the surrender of the British.

President Meng changed Ta Kung Pao to Huacui Evening News, the title of the Hong Kong Governor's Office remained unchanged, and everything was changed according to the Chinese system.

The biggest problem?

It is the establishment of the police force, and the establishment of the garrison, in North Korea, because it is separated from Danzhou by a water, the garrisons on both sides have changed guards, and the police system has been established, and there is no problem of manpower allocation.
