Chapter 511: Negotiating with the Governor
readx; Two days passed, and the Soviet army did not repair the bombed positions, and similarly, Sun Quanbing and others did not find any large-scale Soviet troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It looks like an abandoned military position, but it's a really new one.
This result shocked everyone, the Soviet army spent two days to build a position that cost at least 100,000 people, was it just to confuse Army Group North? Did they divide their forces here?
On the morning of the third day, the Air Force again carried out a second bombardment of the outskirts of Chernogorsk and the towns.
In order to ensure that the Soviets had indeed built an abandoned military position, the scale of the bombardment was larger than the previous bombardment of Abakan.
Bombers alone dispatched nearly 1,000 planes, more than a third more than when they bombed Abakan, and the bombing effect was much better than the first one.
By the time the bombers left, the whole of Chernogorsk had been changed beyond recognition, and if you didn't look at the ruins of the houses, no one would have noticed that it was once a town.
On the afternoon of the third day, the battle began on time, and after a day and a half of fighting, after confirming that the Abakan area was indeed a camouflaged position, a new battle was launched, as usual.
As for why Zhukov built such a large position in the Abakan region, it is not known, but it is certain that there were not many people on the position.
A position that can accommodate nearly a million people is actually less than 30,000 people, and what is this position used for?
Liu Ling couldn't think of any more reasons, for him, it was imminent to launch a new battle, he had to eliminate the main force of the Soviet army as soon as possible, and then occupy the central region as soon as possible.
There are a large number of factories of the Soviet army here, and once this place is captured, the Soviet Union will completely lose the ability to resist, and then the victory in the battle will not be far away.
As for Abakan, let him lie there quietly, the positions that have been completely destroyed, plus the towns that no longer exist, he is no longer a big threat to Army Group North.
To the south, in Sayanorsk, Liu Ling planned to hand over this small town to the expeditionary force of Chairman Chiang to deal with.
According to the air force reconnaissance, this town has a defensive strength of less than 10,000 people at most, which is just enough for Chairman Chiang to train his troops, and then he can move directly to the west and approach the Novosibirsk region with Army Group North.
And the next battle is bound to not be so smooth, because at this point, they are about to enter the dense urban area, where at least dozens of towns are gathered together, and they are completely two worlds from not seeing a single figure for hundreds of kilometers in the Far East.
Although it is good where there are people, this also has a great impact on the speed of the advance of Army Group North, at least it will never be like before, and the front can be advanced a hundred kilometers in a day, or more.
It is even conceivable that here, they will be caught in a battle of all soldiers, and wherever they go, there will be a large number of ordinary people who will rebel against them, and it will be a great test for post-war management.
However, this will not affect their plan to continue fighting, and the capture of most of the Soviet Union is a plan that has been made a long time ago, and no one can change it.
At the same time, thousands of kilometers away, the southernmost tip of the Republic of China and the northernmost point of the Chinese Empire, the campaign to recover Hong Kong has also entered its final stage.
The resistance of the British army was not as fierce as expected, and it can be said that the performance of the British army basically exceeded the previous expectations of the troops, all the battle plans were disrupted, and all the previously formulated plans could not be used.
They had to work out a new battle plan based on the new situation.
At this time, although Hong Kong had been in the hands of the British for nearly a hundred years, its economic development speed was not as fast as that of later generations, and the number of people was far less than imagined.
In later generations, because of the occupation of Guangzhou by the army, a large number of people in Guangzhou were forced to flee to Hong Kong for refuge, although the army also occupied Hong Kong, but the population basically remained in Hong Kong.
And what about this life? The army surrendered without having a chance to capture Guangzhou, so the current economic situation in Guangzhou is even better than that of Hong Kong.
In the past two or three years, Hong Kong's economy has basically been in a state of stagnation, and Guangzhou has long been caught up, and the gap is gradually widening.
As for the specific reason, it is mainly here in Sudao, because of the blockade of the British, cargo ships entering and leaving Hong Kong must pass through the territorial waters of the Chinese Empire, whether it is a detour or a direct passage through the Strait of Malacca, the Chinese Empire is their must pass.
Because of the bad relations between the two countries, British businessmen generally do not go to Hong Kong to trade now, besides, what is the situation now? They lost Australia, and if they went to the Far East, they could only go to India, and then to Hong Kong, it would be a bit uneconomical, and there was a danger of being detained by the Chinese Empire.
But for Canton, this problem did not exist, the Chinese Empire had restrictions on British ships, but not on the part of the Republic of China.
In addition to the trade agreement signed between Chairman Chiang and Su Dao during the previous talks, it can be said that through the in-depth cooperation between the two countries, the economic development of the coastal cities of the two countries is very rapid.
At present, Hong Kong's economy is not as good as Singapore on the side of the Chinese Empire, but in addition to Singapore, Taipei, Manila, Jijin, Kuala Lumpur and other places have also thrown Hong Kong out of a few streets.
Especially in the Kuala Lumpur and Luzon regions, Kuala Lumpur is located in the middle of the Straits of Malacca, and the number of ships passing by is very large, many ships will choose to rest here, or refuel or something, and there are also a lot of ships trading here, and the trade volume is faintly close to Singapore.
Because of the production of rubber and other items in the Luzon area, and the proximity to the mainland, the cost and time are the most cost-effective for ships to and fro, so some powerful large companies have directly set up branches in Luzon, and make acquisitions here, and then the company sets up a fleet to pull goods.
At this time, the route between the Chinese Empire and the Republic of China was basically one of the busiest routes in the world, and the number of ships passing by was also the most, and there were hundreds of ships waiting to enter the port in the most ports during the peak period.
After several years of influence, Hong Kong's economy is nothing to praise, at most it is one of the dozens of most developed cities in Asia, and if the Chinese Empire continues to blockade it, it will not take too long, only five years.
Then Hong Kong's economy will begin to decline, and with the peaceful development of the mainland and the Chinese Empire, it is still questionable whether Hong Kong's economy will rank among the top 50 Asian countries in five years' time.
On the one hand, the British hoped that the Chinese Empire could withdraw its troops, and on the other hand, they hated the Chinese Empire very much, and tried their best to create internal contradictions for them, but militarily, they could not defeat them, so they are currently in a tangle.
However, this did not affect the progress of the Hong Kong side, and the Governor of Hong Kong, Yang Mo-kei, had ordered the British troops to stop resistance and start negotiations with the Chinese Empire on the spot.
Because there was no occupation by the Japanese army, Yang Muqi, who had only been the governor of Hong Kong for three months, is still the governor of Hong Kong, and the reason why the British army was ordered to stop resisting was also because the British troops they sent to Tseung Kwan O to block the attack were captured.
In order not to damage Hong Kong's economy and buildings, in order to protect the lives of British soldiers, Yang Muqi had to order the British army to stop resisting.
But this was only a stop to resist, not a surrender, the British soldiers did not hand over their weapons, they still occupied a third of the territory of Hong Kong, but in the middle of Hong Kong, no supplies, no supplies, surrounded by the 183rd Division.
Even if a full-scale war began, the 183rd Division would be able to wipe out this British army in two days at most.
Today happens to be the first day of the armistice, and it is also the first day of negotiations between China and Britain, and Ho Dacheng will hold initial negotiations with Yang Muqi in the Hong Kong government office building, and if this round of negotiations can satisfy both sides, then the war in Hong Kong can be over.
And He Dacheng can also complete the task four days ahead of schedule, although there is an element of the surrender of the British army, but in any case, it is also the ability of a commander to make the enemy surrender.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was a little tense, and at the oval conference table, there were the generals of the 183rd Division headed by He Dacheng sitting on one side, but in fact, there were not many people, a He Dacheng, a director of the Hong Kong Office of the Special Intelligence Bureau, Wang Qiang, a senior spy officer, and a chief of staff of the 183rd Division, just these four people.
On the other hand, on the British side, there are seven or eight people such as the Hong Kong Governor, which is really quite spectacular, but after seeing these people opposite, Yang Muqi couldn't be happy, and even a little angry.
At this time, what Ho Dacheng held in his hand was the Hong Kong cession agreement signed between Britain and Qing Zhengaxe, which was not cessed until June 30, 1997.
"Mr. General, we have legal documents in Hong Kong, and we are protected by law in the League of Nations, and now your armed aggression against Hong Kong is a provocation to the international order, so please pay attention to your identity, withdraw your country's armed forces from Hong Kong as soon as possible, and return Hong Kong to a peaceful environment."
Feeling that Ho Dacheng had almost finished reading the agreement, Hong Kong Governor Yang Muqi said in Chinese, of course, in Cantonese.
"No, this agreement has lost its legal surname and change of power when the Qing political axe was overthrown more than thirty years ago, and you did not sign a legal agreement with the new political axe, so now it is you Britain who are illegally occupying, not us.
At the same time, on behalf of our country's political axe, I would like to formally inform you that you must immediately and unconditionally withdraw from Hong Kong, and make a formal apology to the Chinese people and the people of Hong Kong for the illegal occupation of Hong Kong for more than 30 years. ā
For this cession agreement, how can He Dacheng pay attention to it?
The above did not attach much importance to this negotiation, and also expected that the British would definitely find trouble, so they did not send negotiators to Hong Kong, but asked He Dacheng to negotiate.
What is the purpose of the above? He Dacheng was clear that He Dacheng was listening to Yang Muqi's words more as a joke, and at the same time secretly said in his heart, sooner or later, one day, I will go to Britain and let you cede a city to us as a colony, and it is also a permanent surname.
