Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Arrival in England

Many people know why the Huaxia government came here to negotiate, because after the announcement of the time and place of the negotiations a few days ago, the newspapers in Huaxia have begun to speculate a lot, no matter what, everyone agrees that the Huaxia government is repeating the events of 70 years ago, but this time the roles are completely reversed.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the Huaxia delegates who came out in a hurry, only those newspaper reporters with huge cameras were shooting at the Huaxia delegates with huge cameras, and some reporters rushed up to surround them.

"How's the negotiation going?"

"Why are you so angry when you look at everyone?"

"May I ask what benefits will I get from Huaxia this time?"

"What is the attitude of the UK?"

“……”

These reporters kept asking questions with their notebooks, but the deputies did not speak, and they slowly broke away from the encirclement of reporters under the protection of the guards, and when they got into the car, Wu Yanfang turned back to the reporters behind him and said: "The British have no sincerity at all, and they still treat us as cowardly Manchus, and there is no point in talking about it any further." As he spoke, he turned around and got into the car in a chic manner, in fact, this was what Qin Yu asked him to do, and he wanted to give Britain a fierce medicine.

As soon as the reporters heard this, they swiped through their notebooks and wrote down that they finally had something to explain to the editor, so they were very satisfied, but they also had to interview the British negotiators.

Suddenly, the British representatives came out, and the reporters under the depressed British surrounded them frantically, and even the guards could barely stop them.

"What do you think of this negotiation?"

"What is the bottom line of the British negotiations?"

"May I ask why the representative of Huaxia left the scene in anger?"

"I heard you're not sincere at all, are you?"

“……”

The reporter's questions made Zhu Erdian speechless, they didn't know how to answer these questions, they knew that the conditions put forward by their side were really insincere, but negotiations were bargaining, who knew that the representatives of Huaxia would be so unexpected.

Zhu Erdian and the others left without speaking, and the ambassadors of the four countries behind them walked out, and the reporters immediately surrounded them again, and before the reporters could ask questions about the German ambassador Hanmi, he said loudly: "Both sides feel that the other side is not sincere, and the negotiations have been postponed, so everyone disperses." ”

Many reporters also heard a little meaning from Hanmi's words, so they dispersed, and they had to hurry back to sort out the newspaper, and whoever hurried would make more money.

In the afternoon of the same day, the major newspapers published photos of the Chinese delegates leaving the scene in anger yesterday, and when the people saw these pictures and Wu Yanfang's words, they were very angry, and they knew that this might be the same invincible victory as after the war with France, so they were very angry. An atmosphere of boycott of Britain was brewing, and as soon as there was a fuse, it would erupt violently.

The next day, the Huaxia Daily published the British negotiation paper, which suddenly became a fuse, and the people of the whole country were running to tell each other, the British were so shameless, it was obvious that China had won and they actually put forward these conditions, was it really good for me to bully China?

"Boycott British goods! Pay me back the tariff! ”

"Take back the British Concession! Take back Hong Kong! ”

"Shameless Britain, the Chinese government is not the Qing government!"

"Shame on you, compatriots! This is to be defeated without defeat! ”

"Support the central government! Long live Huaxia! Fight to the end! ”

“……”

The angry youths who knew about this basically marched on the streets, and the demonstrations were not good, they raised money to buy a large number of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables and threw them frantically outside the British Concession, and the guards in the British Concession came out to confront the people, but after a while, the Huaxia police came, and they warned the patrol officers of the concession not to shoot, otherwise they would fight back, and the Huaxia police asked the people not to throw those patrolmen in order to prevent bloodshed.

The British in the concession did not dare to come out, but it was so smelly that they couldn't resist running out, and the people did not deal with the British. The British consulate was surrounded by three layers inside and outside, and Zhu Erdian and they waited helplessly for the telegram from China inside, and they did not dare to go out now.

Soon the demonstrations began to turn into the smashing of British goods, everything that was British on the street was smashed, all the major restaurants and shops hung signs that British people were not allowed to enter, and those trading houses that sold British goods quietly changed their signs to those of other countries.

Even the rickshaw puller will ask if you are British? If you answer yes, you will leave empty, so the British in China now generally say that they are German or American.

The factories opened by the British went on strike directly, and no matter how the British threatened or tempted these workers to resume their work with firing squid or raising wages, these workers just didn't move, they didn't dare, and now they are all boycotting the British, and once someone says that so-and-so is still working for the British, they will definitely be abandoned by the masses.

The movement to Britain has affected the daily work of the Huaxia government, but Qin Yu has no intention of stopping it at all, which makes the high-level of the Huaxia government very puzzled, in fact, it is not that Qin Yu does not want to stop it because the time has not come, and the dissatisfaction of the Chinese people with the foreign powers accumulated over the years has risen to an extreme, and they need to vent now, and Britain is a good pumpback this time.

The British Arrival Movement spread throughout the country, even the three northeastern provinces were affected, and now China is full of people marching with banners, they are like a perpetual motion machine tirelessly walking, this Arrival Movement is no worse than the boycott of Japanese goods before and after the end of World War I, and even more powerful than it.

The British government received a telegram from Zhu Erdian, and they were silent for a while after seeing Huaxia's demand, wasn't this pushing them to step down? They are not sure that they will not be torn alive by the people if they agree to this.

When Herbert Henry Asquith saw this, he immediately summoned people to negotiate, and he had to deal with the negotiations, and he could lower his demands, and ceding India was a very big matter, and they couldn't decide on it. When he was urgently discussing with everyone, the British merchants in China were frantically sending telegrams to the British country, they were about to be bankrupted by the people of China, a large number of goods were destroyed by the angry Chinese, the factory workers went on strike, and the restaurants and noodle restaurants did not let the British in, in short, the British were very unpopular in China now, they did not even dare to return to the concession, and a large number of British began to run to Hong Kong, because Hong Kong is still in the hands of the British. And it's also the safest place in China in the UK.

Just when the British in China were pouring into Hong Kong in large numbers, the Huaxia fleet had already sailed their warships to the waters near Hong Kong, and they received Qin Yu's order to encircle Hong Kong, and they wanted to encircle but not attack, so as to put pressure on the British. At the same time, the IDF in Bengal and the militia that had just arrived began to concentrate near Sadekila, and the IDF in northern India also had a tendency to cross the Ganges, which shocked the British army in India.

China's invasion of Britain is still heating up, and it has begun to spread to the people of other countries in China, but as soon as Qin Yu found out, he immediately asked the police to stop it, after all, Huaxia does not have the strength to fight against the whole of Europe alone, and the impact is also very great.

The nationwide movement of the British invasion began to sweep Hong Kong, and the workers in Hong Kong began to strike in response to the domestic movement, and the workers of the local British-owned factories and shops gradually went on strike, and the workers of the wharves and waterworks also went on strike, but the strike was not as strong as that of the mainland. The procession in the streets was small, with only a few dozen students marching, and slowly began to expand, and after a few hours the number of marchers increased to thousands, and Hong Kong's patrol police had to be dispatched to maintain order and, if possible, suppress it.

The British Governor in Hong Kong, John May, was now very busy, the workers' strike in Hong Kong had caused a large number of businessmen to call the Governor's Palace in the hope that the Governor would come forward to help solve the problem, and the people marching in the streets also made him sweat profusely, and he also received reports of a large number of Imperial citizens in China pouring into Hong Kong, and he could not imagine that the defeat of the Imperial fleet would bring so many things.

Just when Mei Hanli had a headache, a patrol officer ran into his office in a panic without even knocking on the door, "Your Excellency Governor, it's not good, Hong Kong is surrounded by Chinese naval warships, and they said they want to ...... Envelope...... Blockade of Hong Kong and prohibit the entry of imperial merchant ships. ”

Mei Hanli suddenly stood up, grabbed the collar of the patrol officer, and asked nervously: "Are you sure that today is not April Fool's Day, how dare Huaxia do this, are they not afraid of the wrath of the empire?" After finishing speaking, Mei Hanli seemed to think of something and quickly let go of his hand, he thought in his heart: To hell with these gentlemen's manners.

"Ahem, really Lord Governor, I don't lie to you, you can go out and have a look." The patrolman rubbed his neck with his hand and said.

Mei Hanli hurriedly walked out of the office, and then walked up the stairs, when he came to the top of the building, he saw a lot of warships at a glance towards the open sea of Hong Kong, and some of the warships were very advanced, his eyes widened when he saw a few 'Dreadnought', and when he saw the 'Xianyang', his mouth was even wider, he dared to swear that he had never seen such an advanced warship in Britain, how could this be.

After seeing these warships, Mei Hanli knew that the situation was not good, and what the patrol said was true, so he immediately ran downstairs and went to the telegraph room to ask the telegraph operator to send a telegram back to China.

After sending the telegram, Mei Hanli immediately asked to see the person in charge of the Huaxia Navy, and now he does not know why Huaxia surrounded Hong Kong, but the Huaxia Navy refused to meet him, and the soldiers of the Huaxia Navy only brought him one sentence: "Hong Kong is the territory of China, and it was and is and will be." ”

After listening to this, Mei Hanli knew that Huaxia was preparing to take back Hong Kong, relying on the British troops now stationed in Hong Kong were not Huaxia's opponents at all, and he had no choice but to wait for the telegram from China, and he knew that he must not suppress the citizens who went on strike and marched now, otherwise he might not be able to leave Hong Kong, so he urgently ordered to warn those patrols and British troops not to attack the Huaxia and let them go.

The retreat of the patrol police made the people who marched more and more, and the cries of support for the Chinese government rose higher and higher, and the movement to the British gradually spread to the whole of Hong Kong, and finally spread to the opposite Macao, and the procession in Macao also began to be lively, and the Portuguese governor of Macau did not dare to let people suppress it, and he also knew that China was strong now, so he had to let these people march.
