In Guangzhou Bay, the destroyers of the Chinese Navy began to approach Hong Kong. This time they came to shell Hong Kong, and they wanted to shell Hong Kong, so that the British in Hong Kong would know how powerful the Chinese were. Of course, this is only responsible for shelling, and it is not necessary to use too good warships. The guns of the destroyers are sufficient, and if the battleships are dispatched, it is a knife to kill chickens, which is counterproductive. This time it was to force the British, to force the British to compromise, so that they would return Hong Kong. At present, in fact, Wang Guorui and the British know that it is impossible for the other party to really go to war with the other party, and in the case of no war, the competition is the spiritual willpower of both sides, to see who can stick to the bottom line more, and then be able to compromise.

The shelling of Hong Kong was a means for the Chinese to express their dissatisfaction with the British, telling the British that China's determination to recover its territory would not change. If Britain does not give Hong Kong back, then Wang Guorui will not be polite.

"Aim at the Shek Kong Barracks in Hong Kong and prepare to shell me! However, the first shell was deliberately deflected. Said the colonel in charge of the shelling.

"Ready!" "Proofreading begins!"

"Boom!"

A shell was fired, and that shell exploded near the British Barracks at Rockhill.

"Boom!" The shell exploded, and it was affected within a radius of more than 60 meters, causing a wave of air.

The British major of the Shigang barracks immediately scolded: "What's the matter? The Chinese actually dare to shell our British Empire, are they looking for death? ”

These British officers were obviously still very proud, and they still considered themselves to be from the British Empire, and although they saw China as gradually stronger, it was far from being comparable to the British Empire. Although China has begun to recover gradually, it is only some powerful ants, at most the ants have evolved into cockroaches, but they are far from the elephants of the British Empire.

So this British major did not expect that the Chinese would dare to really shell them. You know, they have also heard that the Chinese want the British to return this Hong Kong, but these British officers and soldiers are just a joke. The Chinese want to take back Hong Kong, which is a joke for the vast majority of British, who think that the Chinese are looking for death if they challenge the British. If the British exert all their strength, then it is inevitable to clean up China.

However, there is actually no problem with what they said, if the British really use all their strength to attack China, it is indeed impossible to eliminate Wang Guorui. But national politics is not so easy to solve, just like in the future, isn't China also ready to eliminate little Japan and Taiwan? But can they actually do that? This kind of thing involves one link at a time, and it is not so easy to be self-willed. Even if China destroys Japan and Taiwan in the future, what can it do? In the end, there will still be many problems under the influence of each other, so if the root cause of the problem is not solved, small Japan and Taiwan are just the appearance. Isn't it the opposite of trying so hard to make an appearance?

So although the British have the ability to wage war against China, it is not worth it. Will they, the British, fight for China? Just as China will not fight desperately with the United States, in fact, the gains of both sides will outweigh the losses. This kind of war between major powers is actually not so easy, and it may be okay to get some cheapness, but if you really want to start working hard, then any big country will be calm and will not mess around. Wang Guorui was sure that the British would not go to war with him for Hong Kong, but the British were also sure that China would not go to war with Britain for Hong Kong. Therefore, the two sides are nothing more than a competition of willpower, who can persist more tenaciously, that is the final winner.

"Keep bombing me!"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

A series of destroyer guns began to bombard fiercely, and the Hong Kong Shek Kong barracks were immediately covered by firepower. The British troops began to go on the defensive, but their defenses were futile. The number of troops in the British barracks was not large, and in the face of the navy of these enemies, it was simply possible to use army infantry to fight the navy. These British people also had no weapons, they were only symbolic, in fact of no use, only to represent the British occupation of Hong Kong.

If they really want to fight, then they are not enough to stuff their teeth!

"Go and inform the Governor that the Chinese are shelling our Hong Kong, and they are going to war against our Hong Kong!" said the British Army Major.

The Governor's Office soon received the news that they had been shelled, which caused turmoil throughout Hong Kong, because they thought that China was going to war against them. Even this time there was going to be an attack, so the British in Hong Kong began to panic.

"God, are the Chinese going to invade Hong Kong?" One Englishman said excitedly, apparently he thought that China's entry into Hong Kong was an invasion, but did not realize that Hong Kong was originally Chinese territory.

"Oh my God! The Chinese have entered Hong Kong, so what should we do? They've already started shelling, so let's run, right? "Run? Can you outrun the Navy? "Yes! Even if we run, we won't be able to outrun the navy! ”……

"So what do we do? And what about the armies of our British Empire? Our troops of the British Empire, why not strike back as soon as possible? "Forget it! Rely on them, it's too far. If the European Chinese want to attack, those armies of up to a thousand people will not be able to protect us at all, and they will not even be able to protect themselves. They are nothing at all in front of the millions of Chinese troops! "Then the Chinese are not the strength of our British Empire?" ……

"Why don't you hurry up and let the local troops be transferred, and then let the local troops come over to support us!" ……

A bunch of Britons are daydreaming here that they want to transfer troops from their homeland. But in fact, if the British had no troops at all, they would not have much armed force to mobilize in Asia. Even if there is a small amount of armament, it is impossible to mobilize it.

The British Indian fleet, not to mention the strength of their Indian fleet, it is impossible for them to come to support Hong Kong, they will not be able to pass through this Strait of Malacca. As long as Wang Guorui asked the navy to block the Strait of Malacca, the Indian fleet of the British would not be able to pass through at all. If they want to pass, the Chinese Sword-class battleships can perfectly teach them how to behave. So the British had no troops to mobilize, and their huge colonies had devoured a large number of soldiers. They even had to recruit local natives to arm themselves, from the soldiers of the Indian Asan to the Chinese Huayong Battalion, which was actually a sign of their lack of strength. After all, this kind of Britain is an island country, they have a limited population, they do not recruit local officials, and they do not rely on local natives to administer it, which is also impossible to rule effectively.

Even in England, they allowed the local princes and nobles to rule, so that they could rule India in peace. Britain only took the land after the princes and nobles became heirs, and this also caused the Indian uprising that year, isn't this how Queen Zhangxi became famous?

Britain simply did not have enough troops to start a war with China, and although China had troops, it had poor economic strength, so both sides were actually half-hearted.

"Governor, what shall we do? The Chinese may attack at any time, and we can't hold Hong Kong at all! Let's hurry up and ask for domestic support! ”

However, Hong Kong's governor Bu Li saw the situation and said: "Even if the country supports us, we will not be able to come." Especially from the country, we simply don't have time. If the Chinese want to attack, it will not take 24 hours, or even 12 hours, to conquer Hong Kong. So it is useless for us to resist, and we should hurry up and send a telegram to Najurdian, and then let him intervene to mediate. The Chinese only sent the navy to shell, and did not directly land and send the army to attack, which shows that there is still room for negotiation. ”

In the capital, Wang Guorui next said: "Order the Southeast Theater to mobilize a light artillery regiment to further shell Hong Kong." The soldiers of the Southeast Theater are ready to transfer an infantry battalion to me into the New Territories. There aren't many people in the New Territories at the moment, so there's no need to worry about accidental injury. ”

At present, the New Territories was ceded by the Manchu Qing more than two years ago, so there is not much population at present, so the Chinese army will not be afraid of accidentally hurting the Chinese when it enters. So this one was first shelled by the army, and then the infantry battalion was ordered to be stationed, so that it was really going to force the British. If they continue to attack, then Wang Guorui will really use force immediately.

"Then with the various industrial enterprises of our Crown, and then ordered the delay of all the contracts of all our royal industries and all the British ones. The royal family has shares, and the government has a stake in the enterprises, all business dealings with Britain have also suspended all private business dealings with Britain, forcing British industry and commerce to comply. Even, it is recommended that all the businessmen and enterprises in our various industries in China have business dealings with the British, they have also advised them to cooperate with the government, and then suspend business with the British. If this causes damage, the government will compensate for it in the future by reducing or reducing appropriate taxes. ”

"As for those who are unwilling to cooperate, then what to do!"

Wang Guorui's meaning is obvious, if those who are unwilling to cooperate with the government, then "what to do", I am afraid that all kinds of behaviors wearing small shoes can also clean them up. Although it can't be done directly, today's fire inspection fines, tomorrow's health quarantine, they will always be killed. Such fines imposed by local authorities are often more effective than regular laws for those businessmen. Many businessmen are not afraid of any high-ranking officials, but they are most afraid of various business departments in these places coming to find fault. Hades is so good, the little ghost is difficult! If they get the initiative from above, those little ghosts can completely kill them! (To be continued.) )
