This gunshot made Situ Ba's heart sink suddenly, and the more he was afraid, the more he came. He was most afraid of the expansion of things at this time, but now there is no way to expand it.

Seeing the police inspector who was still stunned, Situ Ba was even more furious: "Won't you pig go out to see what's going on?" ”

The latter hurried out.

In a tall building next to the Governor's Palace, a young man quickly put away the Enfield rifle in his hand, opened a secret compartment on the side, skillfully put the rifle into it, closed the concealed compartment, and carefully destroyed the evidence of his existence. After that, he walked downstairs calmly and joined the procession, and saw the panicked crowd on the opposite street, and showed a strange look.

"Is your stomach feeling better? Why do you suddenly have a stomachache? A man next to him asked.

"I don't know what's going on, maybe I ate something unclean yesterday, but now it's much better. By the way, what's going on over there? It seems to be very confusing. The young man said.

"You don't know, not long after you left, there was a gunshot and it looked like someone was injured."

"Do you know who fired the shot?"

"Who has guns here but the British, and who will shoot but them." The man who spoke looked angry.

When the young man heard this, he was also angry.

At this time, in the crowd of people who were shot, several men lifted the middle-aged man who was shot aside, and the person who was shot was Wang Xing, although all this was directed by the director, but the bullet was not faked. The young man who fired the shot had good marksmanship, and the lethal area where the bullet hit was far away, just hitting the shoulder. At this time, Wang Xing only lost too much blood, and his face was a little pale.

The gunfire had a great impact on the marching crowd, and they did not point the finger at the military and police who confronted them. If it weren't for the fact that many people were appeased by the crowd, the angry crowd would have rushed into the Governor's Palace by now.

"Return Hong Kong and hand over the murderer. Return Hong Kong, hand over the murderer..."The demonstrators shouted louder and demanded the surrender of those who had just been shot.

At this moment, another gunshot rang out, and this time it was really a weapon in the hands of the British ** police. A policeman was so nervous that he accidentally pulled the trigger, but his gun was pointed at the sky and did not hurt anyone.

The police inspector who had gone out to check on the situation walked in again, and before he could speak, Situ Batto asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It was our military police who were so nervous that they accidentally pulled the trigger." In fact, the police inspector did not find out who put the first shot, and the second shot was found out at once, and he directly counted the two robberies together and said.

"What are you doing here, why don't you go to the doctor to see the injured man, if the man dies and the situation is out of control, I will take you to die." Situ Ba, who was furious, saw the police inspector in front of him, and his mood became more and more unhappy.

When the police inspector approached the demonstrator with a few doctors, the demonstrators were not moved at all and treated them as air. Now Wang Xing has been sent to a nearby Chinese medical center for treatment.

Half an hour later, seeing that he could not hide, Situ Bab walked out of the governor's palace and kept comforting the demonstrators, but to no avail. A brigade of British troops had already arrived on the periphery of the demonstrators, but there was nothing they could do but stand aside to prevent the demonstrators from wreaking havoc.

By noon, the crowd had slowly dispersed, but the matter had only just begun.

――――――――――

This morning, Chen Shao received a report of the demonstrations in Hong Kong, and in response to this, he only ordered to make a big noise on the radio so that the whole country of China would know about it. And if there is any new situation, we must notify the broadcast as soon as possible.

After the Sino-Japanese War, more and more people were accustomed to listening to the radio, and the previous Sino-Japanese war, once there was a new development in the war, it would be broadcast on the radio as soon as possible.

Today, those who are accustomed to turning on the radio are the first to hear about the demonstrations in Hong Kong.

The short four words of "return to Hong Kong" immediately entered everyone's sight, and the original topics such as the imperial system and the republic quickly cooled down after the news was broadcast, and now people are more discussing the problems of Hong Kong, or the problems of the concession.

When it was reported on the radio that the British police had shot and injured a Chinese who was demonstrating, angry voices in China were everywhere, accusing Britain of violence.

Hundreds of students from Nanning University took to the streets, demanding that the motherland's army recover Hong Kong and liberate the oppressed Chinese.

Students from Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Peking also took to the streets to petition the Chinese government to take the matter seriously and punish the British atrocities.

After Chen Shao learned about it, he only instructed Zong Li and Weiren to take out a strongly worded protest letter to the British side. At the same time, Chen Shao personally rushed to the broadcaster, and he wanted to speak in person.

When the news came on the radio that Chen Shao was going to speak on this matter, people stopped what they were doing and listened attentively to the radio, and the discussion in the teahouse also stopped. Everyone in front of the radio held their breath, they all wanted to hear how Chen Shao planned to deal with this matter.

Not long after, Chen Shao's voice came from the radio: "Fathers and fellow villagers from all over China, I am Chen Shao, and I am here to convey a message to you: At 8 o'clock this morning, the compatriots in Hong Kong, in order to resist the tyranny of the British, tens of thousands of Chinese compatriots spontaneously organized themselves to march and petition outside the Governor's Palace in Hong Kong. However, the other side not only ignored the demands of our compatriots, but also boldly shot and wounded one of our compatriots. This is the second time that Western countries have raised the butcher's knife of killing on the heads of our Chinese, and some people have already been injured under this butcher's knife.

As the supreme leader of the Chinese Provisional Government, and as the supreme leader of the million-strong army, I must be responsible for all the sons and daughters of China. Here I want to tell all the Chinese, no matter where you are, as long as you are Chinese, China is your strong backing. Our military is not a threat and has the courage to face any challenge.

Finally, I will make another decision on this matter, if the British side cannot give us a satisfactory explanation on this matter, I will not agree, hundreds of millions of Chinese will not agree, and our army will not agree. The Chinese Association will respond to this matter by any means, including war. I would like to take this opportunity to tell the world that we Chinese are not an inferior nation, and we will never be bullied by others, and that China is no longer the sick man of East Asia. ”

In the impassioned speech, although no one could see Chen Shao, every Chinese was deeply shocked by Chen Shao's words. Everyone thinks that with such a leader who serves the country and the people, China will not want anything else, and this is enough.

As soon as the British ambassador to China learned of the situation in Hong Kong, he immediately contacted Stuart and inquired in detail about the whole story. Before the British ambassador could figure it out, he learned that Chen Shao was going to make a message on the radio, and after turning on the radio, he listened to Chen Shao's words. Before he could return to China, Zong Li arrived as promised, and as soon as Chen Shao's words fell, Zong Li's feet had just stepped into the British Embassy in China. Zong Li just handed over the credentials to the British ambassador and left without saying anything.

After reading the credentials submitted by Zong Li, the content of the book was even tougher, not only demanding the surrender of the British, who fired the shots, but also demanding that the public opinion be followed on the issue of Hong Kong. The British ambassador was stunned all of a sudden, what is this? The British side will not agree to the matter of handing over the shooting police, because this is tantamount to slapping Britain in the face. What else is there called following public opinion on the issue of Hong Kong, and what does it mean? Could it be that China now wants to take back Hong Kong? Britain would not agree to this.

Although the contents of this letter seemed to the British ambassador to be very arrogant, he did not dare to say anything now, but urgently sent it to China by radio.

At this time, the British Isles also had a heated discussion on this matter, and when the credentials sent by the British ambassador appeared in the conference room, the entire conference room was silent. Everyone in the conference room was taken aback by this credential, and they all admitted that after the war against Japan and the continuous appearance of weapons and equipment, China was indeed the first in Asia. Although Britain has gone through World War I and lacks national strength, in their eyes, China's weapons are advanced and battleships are also very powerful, but in Britain's eyes, these things can be caught up, as long as the Washington Naval Treaty is relaxed, Britain will immediately be able to build battleships that are more powerful than the Chinese Kunlun Mountain class. At this time, the new warship was already being designed, just waiting for the treaty to be lifted.

Now after seeing this national letter, many people secretly scold China in their hearts for being too arrogant. But there were also many people who were worried, and Churchill, the colonial minister at this time, was a little worried. Britain no longer takes the threat of China seriously, but Hong Kong and Guangdong are linked, and the Chinese Army can take the whole of Hong Kong at any time.

Churchill would never have believed that a garrison of 10,000 men could hold Hong Kong unless the Chinese army still had broadswords and spears. But this is absolutely impossible, Churchill knew that the current Chinese army is not only advanced in weapons, but also has just defeated Japan, and the morale is like a rainbow at this time.

In the event of a war, the outcome is clear. It was a miracle that the 10,000 British defenders could hold on for two days, but Churchill knew that the Japanese 200,000 people did not hold a single Taipei for a few days, and the Chinese army had to rush to land on the beach at that time. But as for Hong Kong, the other side only needs to send troops to attack from the land.

In addition to the Chinese navy, although Britain is now developing a new generation of battleships, the performance will far exceed the Chinese Kunlun Shan class, but far water can not save the near fire, it will take at least two or three years to build a powerful battleship, and the other side now has two powerful battleships, as well as many cruisers and destroyers. Relying solely on Britain's naval power in the Far East at this time was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Churchill was strong, but not blindly. From this national letter, Churchill found that the original upstart of the Far East had the same personality as himself.
