At eight o'clock, it was completely dark, and after a few days of shelling, Hong Kong ushered in a rare calm night. Although the ban was implemented, it could not prevent the natives who were familiar with the land from connecting in private, and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, and the degree of bizarre could make the well-informed survivors staggered, but it was a sure thing that the short-haired bandits had won.

In the backyard of Fu Ji North Goods Store on the east street of Sai Ying Pun, in a side room, several men in their thirties and forties were talking in low voices under the dim candle shadow. Sitting at the top is the boss of Fuji North Goods Bank, Guo Fuquan, the eldest of the Guo family's brothers. Guo Fuquan is 44 years old this year, originally from Hunan, more than 10 years ago because he offended the gentry in his hometown, so he and a few brothers came to Guangdong, and spent ten years to earn a few shops, which is also a small asset. Just now, a few brothers in their own family have already told all the news they have inquired about, although they are all fragmented gossip, but they also let a few people piece together a general situation. Guo Fuquan pondered for a while, and then asked: "This Guangfu army has won a complete victory now, how should my Guo family deal with itself in the future, let's talk about it!" Second, you come first! ”

"I think it's better to wait and see." Guo Fuan, who has been trading foreign goods and has many contacts with the British, said. He had been dealing with the British for seven or eight years and had some knowledge of the situation with the British. Although he didn't know what comprehensive national strength was, he was not optimistic about the Liberation Army, believing that it was just borrowing the advantages of geography and people, and it would not last long. But he also knows that he is cautious in his words and deeds, and some words can't be said indiscriminately, didn't he see that the boss no longer called that gang of anti-thieves short-haired bandits?

Guo Lao Er is sloppy, how could Guo Lao Boss not guess his thoughts! Just as he was about to ask the others again, he heard the "loud gong" outside the house sound again. Every time the Liberation Army occupies an area, a loudspeaker is set up on a high place to broadcast a notice on the people. Because the sound could be heard for miles, people with good deeds gave it the nickname "Da Shenggong", and there was one not far from Fu Ji.

Everyone in the room thought that the Guangfu Army was going to play the notice of Anmin again, but who knew that the voice of a foreigner came from the "loud public", and everyone was confused. In the end, Guo Laoer, who was still a little fluent in foreign language, told everyone that it was the admiral of the foreigners who spoke, and that he himself had become a prisoner of the Guangfu Army, and at the same time announced that the British army had been defeated, and asked the foreign soldiers who were still scattered outside to disarm the Admiralty military camp as soon as possible, and if they did not surrender before dawn tomorrow, the Guangfu Army would be severely punished. In addition, it is necessary for foreigners and civilians to register their identities at the Admiralty Barracks tomorrow, so that the Liberation Army can ensure the safety of civilian lives and property.

After listening to the radio, the people in the room looked at each other, only hearing that the foreign soldiers had been defeated, but they didn't expect the defeat to be so miserable that even the admiral was taken prisoner. In this way, the foreign soldiers are afraid that the whole army has been wiped out, and in their cognition, the officers are always the first to run away. It is said that it is to ensure the safety of civilian lives and property, and it is estimated that it is to skin those foreign businessmen, and the idea that everyone originally beat the first rat at both ends is the best policy not to offend in all aspects, but now it seems that this idea may not work. But only betting on one side, this determination is not easy to make, or the boss Guo Fuquan made a decision and immediately changed the issue. "This time, how much money our Guo family pays, let's talk about it!"

What Spintozi was asked to do was to get the latter to call out, so that the British rangers who were still on Hong Kong Island would see the situation and turn themselves in, unless they wanted to jump into the sea. Although no one believed that the British soldiers had the ability and conditions to fight guerrilla warfare, it was also a safety hazard to let them wander outside.

Recorded Spintoch's speech, and when he was in charge, he asked the general to rest. The heads of the front fingers sitting in the front are not so good, and there are still a lot of things waiting for them.

"The casualties have been counted." Shen Xingshi took out a document that had just been sent below, "From the pursuit in the early morning to the surrender of the British army in the afternoon, the soldiers lost eight killed and twenty-two wounded, six of whom were seriously wounded. "Because the medical level of the Liberation Army is ahead of the times, many incurable diseases at this time are nothing, and the serious injuries mentioned here are all serious diseases such as disability or heavy bleeding, and a few pieces of shrapnel in the body are trivial." We had one man killed and five wounded, and there were no serious injuries. Reading this, Shen Xing's tone and everyone's mood were a little heavy. Although it was common to encounter the sacrifice of companions in the original plane before, this one was the first to die in the new plane. The smooth progress of the war has always made the whole army look down on the British, believing that their combat strength is only twenty (the Qing army is of course the five scum of war), while the Liberation Army is 100. The appearance of the first martyr is also a wake-up call for everyone, the British bullets will also kill people, and it is also a basin of cold water for those who think Lao Tzu is the best in the world.

Seeing that everyone's mood was a little low, Shen Xingshi smiled, "You will always die in battle, what we have to do is not to let the martyrs die in vain, and we must rebuild a new society that belongs to us in this time and space." Then he picked up a second report, "In the past few days, 11 Chinese civilians have been killed, 37 have been wounded, and more than 50 houses have been destroyed. I have taken someone to see the damaged house and made compensation. As for whether these casualties should be compensated or not, and how to determine the amount of compensation, the standard has not yet been set, so everyone will express their opinions! "After all, the main responsibility for the destruction of houses lies with the Liberation Army, some of which were damaged by armored vehicles, and some of them were damaged by the artillery fire of the British Army because the soldiers were using the roofs of other houses as their positions, and of course the Liberation Army should compensate for these losses. The civilians killed and injured in the battle were partly due to the accidental injuries of the Liberation Army, especially the mortars, and this part of the compensation is also justified. The question is whether or not to compensate the civilians killed or wounded by the British army. One is to demand equal treatment, such as the logistics director, whose reason is that "these people are our ancestors, maybe some people's grandfather's grandfather is here, and we should treat them well." The principle of fairness should also be adhered to on the issue of compensation, after all, the main reason for their casualties is also because of our war with the British. ”

Another view was to ask for differential treatment, for example, to teach the commander of the second company. After listening to the words of the logistics director, he immediately retorted: "The method you said is neither fair nor just. If it is our primary responsibility, we will not shirk it; If it is the responsibility of the British, we do not need to bear the blame for them. ”

"You mean it doesn't matter if those people live or die?" The logistics director asked rhetorically.

"I didn't say that." The commander of the second company defended, "It's okay to give them some money, but not in the name of compensation, but aid for humanitarian purposes, and the amount can't be the same, a quarter is about the same." In the future, we will also start a war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, those Eight Banners Green Battalion kill good and risky merits, ** captivity is a good hand, and killing the people is commonplace. If we have to compensate for this part, it is not enough to have gold and silver. Also, these people are your ancestors, not mine. ”

"You ......" the logistics director was on fire. It is still a matter of attitude towards the indigenous people, and it is a matter of principle to deny the ancestors.

"With the butterfly effect, a small fluctuation can make a big difference. Our defeat of the British has seriously affected the course of history, and if there was someone's ancestor here, that person would have disappeared long ago. Now no one has disappeared, which means that this time and space is just a different time and space with the same historical direction, so these indigenous people are not only not our ancestors, but also in terms of cultural education, living habits, values, and identity. Not even compatriots. ”

Seeing that the logistics director had a tendency to go violent, Shen Xingshi immediately asked to end the discussion and hand over the contradictions. "Okay, let's stop fighting! Let the headquarters decide the name and amount! To be honest, he prefers to teach the opinion of the commander of the second company, but as a senior officer, he should not say anything with obvious tendencies, and this kind of compensation may be formulated in the future, and it is better for the headquarters to make a decision, while Li Xiangqian simply did not speak. British civilians were also killed and wounded in the war, but no one cared about their losses.

After talking about the unhappy news, now I want to talk about the happy news. Shen Xingshi picked up the third report, "The spoils of war are still being counted, and in addition to weapons, we have seized about three tons of flour, more than 30 pigs and more than 20 cattle, which are the rations of the British army, but now they are the rations of our army." "Everyone was very excited to hear that there were so many good things, and after so many days of hard work, we could finally have a good meal. To be honest, since the beginning of the cataclysm, basically many people have never eaten fresh beef again, and the fragrance can only rely on memories, but ...... "The general queen has already sent someone to receive this batch of livestock," Shen Xing's words extinguished everyone's excitement, and then another sentence allowed everyone to be saved, "But I have applied to the headquarters to leave a few cows for the troops to sacrifice their teeth." The headquarters just called back and agreed to leave two ends for us to cook a meal of potato roast beef, and let the soldiers enjoy the communist life. In an instant, everyone was filled with happiness, as if they had smelled the aroma of potato roast beef, and the leaders of the headquarters also became the loveliest people.

"And what about the rest?" The commander of the second company asked. More than 600 people were divided into two cows, which made him a little dissatisfied.

"Except for the 1st Infantry Company, 1st Infantry Company, 2nd Infantry Company, and Heavy Artillery Battalion left in Kowloon, the rest of the cattle and pigs must be handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture Farm for breeding." Shen Xingshi explained, lest the subordinates think that the headquarters eats too much. During this time, the food of the survivors has been greatly improved, but in terms of meat, it has always relied on purchase, which is only consumption and no output. According to the investigation of Gao Dawei, the minister of agriculture, the pigs in Xin'an County are almost eaten by the Guangfu army, so opening a farm has become a top priority. When Gao Dawei heard the news of these trophies, he immediately applied for the allocation to the Ministry of Agriculture, and no one could fight the idea of this batch of livestock except for the hard-working and high-ranking troops participating in the war.

Wait for the emotions of the foodie to be vented, and then read down when Shen Xing. In addition, thirteen military horses were also captured...... "The terrain south of the Yangtze River in China is completely unsuitable for cavalry activities, and the British army stationed in Hong Kong has no cavalry. Originally, the Liberation Army also had a few Arabian horses and thoroughbreds, which were toys for rich people in the original time and space to show off their wealth and pretend to be b, because there were no skilled horsemen, and they had been used as pack horses, and no one planned to organize cavalry. Now that there are a dozen horses, some people's minds are moving, and even if they do not organize heavy cavalry to charge, light cavalry or rangers can be considered.
