Chapter 515: Let's Sign It
readx; Time flies by minute by minute, but Hong Kong Governor Yang Muqi is still waiting for He Dacheng to appear, as if he is telling He Dacheng with his own actions, as long as you don't show up, I will not sign my name on this agreement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And He Dacheng also seems to be unusually stubborn, as long as Yang Muqi does not sign before eleven o'clock, then the troops will attack, and this time, they are rushing to annihilate all the British troops.
As for those ordinary British, He Dacheng had no better solution at this time, so he could only wait for the end of the war in Hong Kong, first arrest these ordinary British, and then wait for the fate of the country.
In the office on the second floor, He Dacheng was drinking the high-quality tea leaves left by Yang Muqi, while enjoying the feeling of a cigar.
The British have been secretly scolded more than once in my heart is really [***] extreme, and in the Chinese Empire, I can't find a person who can enjoy it like Yang Muqi.
Even Emperor Su Dao, the tea he drank in Ping Yue was all tea trees grown by himself, and occasionally there were some tea leaves from other places, but the price was not too expensive.
The cigarettes smoked are also the most popular high-end public cigarettes in the Chinese Empire market, that is, one yuan and one box of Great China, and the most smoked by ordinary people are three cents a box of Chinese cigarettes and five cents a box of Little China.
If converted into the legal tender of the Republic of China, the same amount of money could not even buy a box of camels, which was mainly due to the geographical location of the Chinese Empire.
The climate here is unique, suitable for growing tobacco leaves, and Su Dao personally ordered the establishment of a cigarette factory, and only these three types of cigarettes are currently produced in the cigarette factory.
The low price quickly made them popular with the public, and many people abandoned their original cigarette pouches. And this situation is also due to Su Dao's strong control.
At first, the leaders of the cigarette factory wanted to make money through cigarettes, but after this plan was reported, Su Dao criticized it, and Su Dao knew about the violence of cigarettes, and he didn't want to make too much profit with this kind of thing.
Although the cost price of cigarettes in later generations is Su Dao does not know, but there are still half, or quarters, however, Su Dao directly replied to the cigarette factory that after deducting the cost, the profit earned by each box of cigarettes shall not exceed a dime.
You must know that cigarettes are also fast-moving consumer goods, and they may be nothing at the beginning, but after they are promoted, many old smokers are likely to have a box of cigarettes a day, and ordinary people can also reach a box of cigarettes for two days.
Accumulate more with less, this is Su Dao's strategy, but then again, Su Dao doesn't have much ambition in cigarettes, although this thing is violent, but how much profit can it bring them?
It is estimated that the total amount of shipments in a month is not as much as selling a ship, so Su Dao's focus is on those high-tech aspects, rather than cigarettes, which are directly facing the public.
He Dacheng took advantage of Yang Muqi's light, and took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy himself here, because in a few days, he didn't know if he would be able to enjoy this kind of life.
Although according to the law and military regulations, everything here, as long as it is not related to technical surnames or things related to the state, can be seized by individual soldiers as trophies, and this does not need to be handed over.
But there are so many good things here, and they don't hand over at all, even He Dacheng people feel that they are a little unreasonable, and they can't eat and drink spicy food on the front line by themselves, so that the emperor can live in the back with clear soup and little water, right?
At the same time, contrary to the scene of He Dacheng staying alone in the office and enjoying himself, in the conference room, several British gentlemen sat or stood depressed, frowning tightly one by one, as if someone had died in the house.
"What time is it?"
Yang Muqi was already lazy to stretch out his hand to look at his watch at this time, and now his mind was a mess of porridge.
He Dacheng has not yet appeared, which means that he probably did not plan to show up, at least not until they signed, and it is not in the interests of the British side to do so, or that they have lost too much.
So before he met He Dacheng, Yang Muqi could not sign this at all. But if he didn't sign it, the besieged British soldiers might be wiped out, which was also not the situation he wanted to see.
"There are less than ten minutes left."
A British official looked at his watch and replied helplessly.
"Damn the Chinese, damn He Dacheng."
Yang Muqi slammed his right hand on the conference table in front of him, and scolded angrily with an angry expression.
"It seems that this He Dacheng will not come to meet us, Mr. Sir, I think it is better for us to discuss the countermeasures first, so as not to be in a hurry and don't know how to deal with it."
Another official also said helplessly.
Now He Dacheng refused to show up for a long time, obviously he didn't take them seriously, and the time for the final attack was only ten minutes away.
This means that they will attack in ten minutes, and in those ten minutes, they will not be able to make progress in negotiations, and now they are faced with only two choices, sign or refuse to sign, and then watch the British forces be wiped out.
Yang Muqi and others did receive a lot of pressure in the Hong Kong government, but those British soldiers who were surrounded were also under greater pressure than them.
Although the final attack time was eleven o'clock, the 183rd Division on the opposite side had already begun to prepare for the attack at half past ten.
Tanks are driven to the front line, infantry stands behind the tanks and makes a series of attacks, the turrets of the tanks keep turning, as if to check whether the circuit is normal.
And the most terrible thing is not only these, when everyone was not prepared, the tanks of the 183rd Division suddenly moved, although they only advanced a few dozen meters and stopped, but this still brought a lot of pressure to the British army.
On the one hand, the British commander asked the troops to be deployed, and on the other hand, he stepped up contact with Yang Muqi, and the armistice may be a difficult rest time for the 183rd Division, but for the British army, it is doubly tormented.
Because they don't know when the other side will attack, and the British army, at this time, simply does not have enough ability to compete with the 183rd Division, and it is difficult to even defend, let alone break through, which is simply impossible in the eyes of the British army.
At this time, the connection between the British army and the top level had been completely cut off, and the command system was in chaos, and the troops could not understand the situation in the rear in time, let alone adjust the tactical arrangements in time.
"What I'm thinking is, will our troops not be able to withstand the pressure and surrender?"
After a long time, Yang Muqi said worriedly.
The main reason why they can sit here now is because they still have troops in their hands, although the other party can easily eliminate them, but this does not prevent them from negotiating with He Dacheng.
Once the British surrendered, there was no need for negotiations, which meant that they had completely occupied Hong Kong and did not need to negotiate anything with the British.
This is the rule of the jungle, if the British can defeat the Chinese Empire, or after the defeat of the Chinese Empire in the Soviet Union and other battlefields, the British may be able to take Hong Kong back without blood.
But in the current situation, is this possible? The answer is certainly unlikely, at least there is a 90 percent chance that the Chinese Empire will be the victor.
The war has been fought for so long, and the British have never discovered a series of logistical problems such as the supply gap on the Chinese Empire's side.
What are the signs of a defeat in a battle? It's logistics, and once there is a problem with the logistics of an army, then this army is not far from defeat.
But what does Yang Muqi see now? On the territory of the Soviet Union, it was not the Chinese Empire that had logistical problems, but the Soviet Army, which means that the combat power of the Chinese Empire was very strong, and even a giant like the Soviet Union was helpless against him.
"I don't think so, if Alain orders the troops to surrender, then he will completely lose his dignity and will not be able to gain a foothold in the UK, and his family will suffer unfair treatment because of this, and the time has not yet come, we are also negotiating with He Dacheng, and the outside world does not know our situation here, so I don't think Alain will surrender at least until today."
An official assumed a posture of under-beating.
In fact, his analysis is not false, there is such an unwritten rule in Britain, or in various countries, whether it is defeat or surrender, it is not shameful.
But if the commander of a unit announces surrender without receiving an order from his superiors, or before the unit is exterminated, he will be the target of everyone.
So, no matter what, he thinks that Alain will definitely survive, at least to survive today, otherwise, he will face a worse situation.
"Regardless of whether Alain surrenders or not, we should keep our troops so that they can enter India as soon as possible and take control of our last colonies in Asia."
Yang Muqi shook his head, for him, it was more attractive to the colony, and after a fierce ideological struggle, Yang Muqi had already decided to sign the document.
His signature can be useful or useless, because the Queen of England did not authorize him to sign at all, so this document should be invalid. And even if the Chinese Empire had this document, it would not have been able to take India from the British without blood.
