A week passed quickly, in the days of waiting for this epic ransom deal. Li Tie has already arranged all the work in Hong Kong in an orderly manner. The development of Hong Kong Huaxing company has really been on the right track.

Governor King has reported the plan and the planned situation of the deal to the British Parliament. It has received strong support from the British mainland. In this way, it will not violate the rules of the transaction, and it may be possible to seize the other party's plan, which is exactly what the British government wants.

And during the week, the secret base of Lingshui on Hainan Island. Edward and George, with their German Karl instructors, began to make public appearances among the captives as princes and bodyguards.

From time to time, the two encouraged everyone to have confidence that they could return to their motherland safely. The excellent performance of the two was loved and supported by all the sailors.

And so, three days later, when the prince told everyone that their captors had negotiated a ransom with the British government, the British sailors rejoiced.

But before everyone could be happy, the prince told everyone heavily. Someone in the Hong Kong government wants to sabotage the ransom. They had already arranged for men to plant arms on the island where the trade was to be made, and were ready to ambush the bandits.

Originally, the bandits did not want to trade anymore, but they persuaded the bandits that when they came ashore, the sailors would help the bandits to obtain gold. He and his brother will be taken hostage, and after three more days off the island, the kidnappers will release him and George.

So so that all sailors can return to the Motherland. It is also for his brothers to return to their motherland safely. but also for the future of the British Empire. You brave sailors trapped in chains, you will definitely make the right choice.

Prince Edward's words naturally won the support of all the sailors, and they all wanted to be knights to protect the royal family, and never let any conspiracy hurt their Royal Highness.

In this way, everything went according to the script designed by Li Tie.

On October 10, 1926, the Northern Expeditionary Army had just taken Wuchang, and the news had not yet reached Hong Kong, when dozens of large wooden boxes were piled up on the beach on an unknown island off the coast of Hong Kong.

Not far from the shore was a makeshift camp with ten British soldiers guarding the wooden crates.

Two days earlier, the British government had already shipped 200 tons of gold to the designated island. The ten British soldiers were also one in a hundred, and each of them knew about this mission.

On the island, not far from the beach, the British planted enough ammunition and several radios to arm a hundred men in order to arm the sailors and use them against the kidnappers.

Lieutenant John, who led the team, was confident enough to arm a hundred soldiers, and there were twenty elite Marines in ambush deep on the island.

He believed that with these more than 100 Imperial soldiers, they would deal a heavy blow to these kidnappers and dare to kidnap the crown prince of the British Empire. This time, he's going to be a knight to rescue the crown prince.

It was nearly noon, and John's small group of soldiers were in the shade of the trees. In the distance, I saw a dilapidated fishing boat sailing over the sea. On the fishing boat was a pirate black flag that read Base-Place-Organization.

Because the island has long been classified as a forbidden area within a radius of ten miles. John knew that it was **** who arranged for the ransom to come. As agreed in advance. Pay with one hand and deliver with the other.

Ten soldiers, quickly entering the machine gun position. If the people who come to collect the ransom are not trustworthy, they are ordered to kill without mercy and fire three red flares at the same time.

As soon as the signal flare comes out, the marines and the first ships in ambush around will surround the entire sea area. Capture the **** people.

If all goes well, three green flares will be played, indicating that everything is successful. Just wait for his own crown prince and these people to be safe, and all the warships are waiting for the next order.

As soon as the dilapidated sea ship docked, a few big men got off the boat. The men rowed to the shore in small boats, ignoring the ten British soldiers who were waiting on the shore.

Instead, three wooden chests were opened at random. After checking the authenticity of the gold, checking the number again, and getting everything right for a long time, one of them took out a white flag from his bosom and waved it at the fishing boat.

Seeing the signal, the people on the boat sailed the boat to a wooden box by the beach and ran aground. John was still wondering, did these kidnappers have something wrong with their brains? The ship ran aground, how do you drive away?

Although in the afternoon when the tide is high, the fishing boats will be floated. However, with 200 tons of cargo, the fishing boat still couldn't drive away without external forces.

Just when John was still puzzled. Seeing more than 100 British sailors coming down from the fishing boats one after another, John immediately recognized that it was the soldiers who had been kidnapped in the harbor.

Seeing that the soldiers were not even tied hand and foot, John was secretly happy in his heart, "God help me." These kidnappers are also too unprofessional. Even the hands and feet of the soldiers were not tied. Wouldn't it be more convenient for John to free the soldiers?

Just wait for him to save the crown prince, even if the rescue is successful, then these sailors will be called to respond in groups, and there will be more than 100 trained soldiers invisibly. By secretly digging up weapons while the kidnappers are transporting gold, they can counterattack the kidnappers. ”

But what made John more depressed was that until all the sailors disembarked, he still did not see the two crown princes. Could it be that the identities of the two crown princes have been revealed?

Unlikely, right? The terms negotiated with the kidnappers are to release all the hostages at once, which is missing the two most important crown princes, do I send a green signal or a red signal?

Considering the real purpose of this mission, John decided to go forward and ask clearly, if there were only these ordinary soldiers, then he could only send red flares, and two hundred tons of gold could not be exchanged for only these more than 100 ordinary soldiers.

Seeing that the fishing boat had only come down to inspect the gold, John was much more emboldened, and walked up to them with four soldiers and weapons.

And the sailors who were released earlier have already joined the soldiers on the shore, and it seems that so far everything is moving in a favorable direction.

John approached several big men and asked in stiff Chinese, "We still have two soldiers who haven't disembarked, why don't we let them disembark?" John confronted the man in front of him with a very arrogant attitude of a victor.

The man in front of him was sitting on a large wooden box full of gold, muttering a cigarette in his mouth. Instead of answering John, he asked rhetorically, "When the matter is successful, do you send a green flare or a red flare?" ”

"Ah, green, of course." John replied unconsciously.

"Oh, the young master really has a bad history, can you guess this kind of thing?" Hei Da muttered, and then smiled at John and said, "That's fine, in fact, I can guess if you don't say it." Okay, let's do it. As soon as Hei Da's words fell, the three special combat members around him quickly took out the box cannon and put the muzzle of the gun on the heads of several British soldiers in front of him.

John didn't react for a while, and asked angrily: "You guys are too unreasonable." How can you get started before you start trading? Don't you see dozens of fully armed soldiers behind me? ”

Black smiled and motioned for John to look back. John looked back a year and gasped, how could it be?

I saw that the five soldiers on the shore had been pressed to the ground by the many sailors, unable to move. Some sailors were untying the salute ropes that had been thrown on the ground, tying them up one by one. Some sailors also picked up their captured weapons and searched deep into the island.

John exclaimed, "Are you trying to commit treason? I'm here to deliver you. ”

It's a pity that no sailor answered him. What answered him was that a number of sailors came up to him, tied him up and several soldiers around him, and searched for several flare guns on his body, and signaled the guns to Heida.

Heida put away his flare gun and watched Lieutenant John in front of him be kidnapped by more than a dozen wolf-like sailors. is also secretly happy in my heart, this young master is too talented. I have found out all the hearts of this foreigner. Sure enough, after a while, twenty more marines were escorted out by the sailors from the depths of the island.

Seeing these 20 marines, the sailors who had doubts about cooperating with the kidnappers believed the crown prince's words even more, and there were really people in the Hong Kong government who wanted to sabotage the ransom deal.

The Hong Kong government really didn't have any good intentions, saying that it would only bring 10 soldiers to trade, but it ended up bringing a team of 30 people. For the sake of this transaction to go smoothly, they can only grieve Lieutenant John and these people first. Because these sailors knew that everything they did was to rescue their crown prince.

In the afternoon, the tide rose so high that it barely covered the entire beach. According to the previous agreement, Hei Da led more than 100 sailors to nail several layers of thick wooden planks to each box of gold again.

Then put the chains on until you were sure that all the chains were securely fastened. Hundreds of fine rubber airbags were brought down from the fishing boat. According to the prior arrangement, more than 100 sailors fixed these hundreds of airbags around the wooden box.

Heida inspected the wooden boxes and airbags one by one, and confirmed that each wooden box was very secure, and the airbags were also tied very strongly. Look at the pocket watch in your hand, it's exactly ten o'clock in the night. Heida took out his green flare gun and fired three green flares into the air.

The warships and various camouflaged fishing boats around the island all celebrated when they saw the success of the deal, and now they only had to wait for the red signal to be issued, and everyone could start the operation of rounding up the base-land-organization-organization.

Because it was night, all the warships stopped at their designated positions and did not dare to move. As agreed in advance of the ransom deal, the kidnappers would stay near the island for two to three days.

As soon as the morning dawned, several camouflaged fishing boats from various countries quietly approached the island, and found that the wooden boxes on the beach were indeed missing, and it seemed that they had been transported to the boat, and the dilapidated fishing boat was still parked next to the island. For fear of startling the snakes, these fishing boats slipped away quietly.

At this time, on the shore of the island, in the simple British barracks, John was yelling at the sailors in front of him, scolding them for being stupid and impatient, and believing even the kidnappers, and to release him quickly, and that he would dig up the munitions and the hidden radio station, and that he would immediately send a report to Governor King about the situation in this place.

The sailors did not treat John and his party badly. According to the agreement with ****, after the green flare is fired, they will evacuate the beach, and they can contact the British government in two days.

They believed that the British on the island would leave them with a means of communication. Thinking of the hidden radio station that John said, these sailors were even more afraid of the **** people.

I didn't dare to disobey at all, for fear of angering these kidnappers and tearing up the two crown princes. However, he still had the courage to sneak into the beach during the day and find that the wooden boxes in the night had been transported onto the ship at some point.

The boat was parked on the sea not far from the shore, and it seemed that someone was watching the island, and these sailors did not dare to act. Just these kidnappers can unknowingly transport those dozens of large wooden boxes onto the ship, which is not something ordinary people can do.

So these sailors ate the supplies prepared on the island in advance, and really waited until two days later before letting go of John and his party, only to see that the fishing boat was still parked on the sea, and these sailors did not know why these kidnappers did not run away?

John finally regained his freedom, and immediately led thirty of his cronies to dig up munitions, and shouted that the sailors should be court-martialed as he dug up. After the arms are raised, find the secret hidden radio station and quickly report everything that happened on the island to Governor King.

Governor Jin and the two major generals who were waiting for news in the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion were also at a loss. When the three of them heard that the crown prince was not among the sailors, all three felt that the situation was serious. Immediately ordered all the first-class ships to round up the sea ships on the island in accordance with the pre-agreed plan.

Everything can only be further determined until the fishing boat is caught.
