Chapter Eighty-Five: The Shark Hunt Begins
Hong Kong tonight is exceptionally beautiful, although it is not as dazzling as the future generations, but the future prosperity has begun to emerge. Just look at the Victoria harbour now, the whole harbor is full of people, colorful lights, and melodious music fills the entire harbor. Today's harbor is like a festival, and everyone is immersed in joy.
It turns out that today is the 200th anniversary of the establishment of Hong Kong Hung Mun. Today, all the industries to which Hongmen belongs in Hong Kong have a 50% discount on all consumption.
The soldiers in the harbor, who had already gotten the news, had already found various reasons to take leave and go out. Even a considerable part of the officers in the harbor simply joined the soldiers and ran out of the warship to find their pleasure.
At this time, in the harbor, many sailors have not returned, most of the sailors are sinking in the bright world outside the harbor, there are more than a dozen dilapidated steamers moored in the harbor, but there are also a few good quality, including the Wantong and Wanxian steamers, not far from the two ships, there are two gunboats and two cruisers.
may have known that today was a good day for Hongmen, Hong Kong, and a small group of sailors who stayed on the four warships were also holding a small banquet.
Everyone drank discounted beers, ate sumptuous dinners, and cursed the sailors who had taken leave of absence, and did not take them with them when they went out to play, so that they could only stay in the warship.
On the shore where these warships docked were two makeshift lookouts, which were now empty, and only a few searchlights were still flashing from time to time, sweeping over the warships in front of them from time to time.
By midnight, the harbor was calm, and the sailors, who had spent most of the night on their strength, returned to the cabin and slept like dead pigs. The sailors on duty on several warships also snorted, cursing their bad luck.
In the midst of this tranquility, many blisters suddenly appeared in the bottom of the unnoticeable four warships. Immediately after that, more than a dozen figures emerged from the blister.
The figures gathered together, first carefully looked around to see if there was any movement, and then slowly climbed up to the bow deck one by one, along the anchor chain.
After the shadows climbed onto the deck, they hid separately to make sure that there was no danger, and then dragged several large packages from the sea again. The package was heavy, and when everyone opened it, it was full of twenty box cannons and a large number of grenades.
Everyone took their weapons separately, and then split up under the leadership of the two seemingly leading men, first silently killing the two guards on the deck. Then slowly hide the corpses of two British soldiers in the dark.
One of the gangs sneaked into the cab and quickly took control of it. The other group of men with short guns and daggers began to control the boiler room along the ship's cabin.
Ten minutes later, the cab and engine room, pot and wheel room have been thoroughly controlled. The engine room has begun to be filled with oil, and the boiler room has also begun to ignite, and the displacement of the warship at this time is very small, and it only takes an hour at the earliest to set sail.
Within this hour's preparation time, a second group of black shadows appeared under the surface of the sea, and this group of black shadows was generally tall and tall. If you look closely, you can see that many people have blue eyes, and these people have climbed onto the warship one by one along the anchor chain.
The second group of men on board the ship joined the first group of those who boarded the ship, and then sent out some of the men, armed with weapons, and began to clear the various cabins.
The whole operation was very successful, and in less than an hour, all four warships were fully controlled. All the crew members of the warship were also escorted to a single cabin for unified custody.
In this way, the four warships were silently occupied by a group of strongmen of unknown origin, and all the sailors and crews were taken hostage. This group of unknown people, each of whom was very skilled, did not fire a single shot during the whole operation, and hijacked all the warships with only the daggers in their hands.
However, he encountered some resistance when he occupied the Duke. For some reason, when occupying a shiphold, the four guards guarding the outside of the shiphouse put up a desperate resistance.
Moreover, these four guards are very good, fortunately, the armed elements who robbed the ship are very good, and they put down the four crew members in a few pictures, only causing minor injuries to two of the team members.
However, this has already annoyed Hei Da, who led the team afterwards, and the others led the team unharmed, only he led the team with two minor injuries, which made him very faceless.
So after opening the cabin, the two handsome British guys in the cabin withstood Hei Da's old punches several times, but fortunately, Hei Da still remembered Li Tie's order, there may be big people in this warship, so he didn't seriously injure the two.
When the four warships were all controlled silently, Heida used the radio on the warship to send a telegram to Wang Qi of the Axe Gang, and the first step of the operation was successful. After an hour, the second step begins.
At this time, it was exactly two o'clock in the morning, and the four warships were also ready, quietly anchored in the quiet night, and slowly sailed out of the port.
An hour later, just after dawn, the harbor realized that four warships were missing. So the officer on duty wanted to call the naval base and ask why the warship had not been notified of its departure from the port to their ground crew?
As a result, I found that the phone did not work for a long time, and when I was about to send someone to inquire, the electricity suddenly stopped again, and the staff on duty was so angry that he scolded. All the bad luck has caught him up.
Most of the staff in the harbor were not there tonight, and he couldn't leave his post without permission, so it seemed that he would have to wait until dawn to report.
Who knew that before he could report, he listened to the sound of dozens of explosions in the harbor, and then the attendant saw a picture that he would never forget in his life.
I saw more than a dozen old British steamers parked in the harbor, and even the Wan Hai and Wan Xian ships temporarily docked in the harbor were also in flames.
The sound of a powerful explosion woke everyone in the harbor. But there was no electricity, so everyone could only get up in the dark, and they were at a loss for what to do. The doors of the garage could not be opened, the fire extinguishing devices could not be found, and even the telephones to the various important departments could not be reached.
The ground crew finally opened the distribution box, only to find that the distribution box had been blown up, and all kinds of communication cables in the computer room were stolen.
There was no way, the naval major who stayed in the harbor could only drive to the governor's palace in person to report the situation in front of him, and the ships that were bombed were okay, but the four warships that did not receive the order to leave the port also disappeared without a trace.
Because not only could he not afford the responsibility for the disappearance of the four warships, but even if the two important people on the Duke were even slightly damaged, he and Governor King could not afford it, and it was estimated that they were optimistic that they would be sent to a military court.
The major rushed into the Governor's Palace. As a matter of fact, even the Hong Kong Governor's Office had heard the huge explosion at the military port just now, and many Hong Kong residents had heard the explosion, and many people had already called the Hong Kong Governor's Office to inquire about relevant matters.
By this time, Governor King had already dressed up and was about to go downstairs to check the actual situation, when he heard the major about the bombing of the harbor. When more than a dozen ships were bombed, and to make matters worse, when four warships went missing, Governor King only had time to shout, "Oh, Mogod!"
His legs were weak and he fainted on the stairs, which frightened the staff around him, and they hurriedly called a car to send Governor Jin to a nearby hospital for first aid.
Governor Kim is an old man in his fifties after all. Such a big incident really hit Governor Jin for a while, and made Governor Jin, who was already old and frail, sick.
By the time Governor Kim was lying in a hospital room for treatment, Hong Kong had already blown up the sky. Thousands of people from all over the world came to see the harbor.
Celebrities from all walks of life rushed to tell each other, and major newspapers organized hundreds of reporters with all kinds of cameras overnight to rush to the harbor to take all kinds of photos.
Some of these thousands of people came to help put out the fire. Among them, Hong Kong's largest gang, Hung Mun, arranged for many fire trucks to come to help extinguish the fire.
It's a pity that the steamer fire was too big. The range of the fire truck's water cannon was short, and everyone watched as more than a dozen ships of different sizes sank into the sea and burned out.
The big ship is okay, and it can show a side or something on the sea. Smaller ships sink directly to the bottom of the sea. It would take months for the dozen or so sunken ships to get them all out of the water.
It can be said that Victoria Harbor will not be able to be used within half a year, which is a great blow to the British government and the Hong Kong government.
But the most curious thing is why only British ships were bombed, and many more Chinese fishing boats dozens of meters away were not bombed.
Only a few of the ships that came close had their sails burned by the flames drifting by. This is also a place where most of the reporters present can use their imagination vigorously.
