Chapter 108: The Fuse of World War—Hong Kong
The defeat of the Allies in this great war caused them to gradually lose the strategic advantage they had previously achieved. And the Soviet resistance began to slowly rise with its victory in this war. As the Allies struggled in Europe, the Allies had a harder and harder time. However, the opponent's troops on the side of the Rising Sun Empire could not be stopped, in addition to facing the remnants of the Rising Sun Empire on the frontal battlefield, Darang, and constantly guarding against the possible attack of the Red Army behind at any time.
The Red Army, which was originally not taken seriously, began to gradually become the number one enemy of the Allies. It is a pity that the guerrilla tactics of the other side made the powerful allied forces helpless, and several large-scale encirclement and suppression not only did not destroy the other side, but lost a lot of troops. What's worse is that this local military force, which suddenly appeared, fought more and more, and the territory became bigger and bigger, and the combat effectiveness became bigger and stronger. Got the Allied Commander Gillis. Pis had a headache.
It's just that his old opponent Dalang is also entangled at the moment, because the Red Army is not only attacking the Allies, but his rear is also disturbed. And what made him even more helpless was that the other party's penetration ability was really terrifying! The more than 100,000 new troops that he had managed to assemble were poached by the other side in less than a month. But there was nothing he could do, so in the end he could only break the can and take some extreme measures. In this way, excessive surveillance and brutal punishment have made the relationship between law enforcement officers and ordinary soldiers more sensitive and delicate. Although the defection was prevented from continuing to occur to a certain extent, this method of quenching thirst by drinking water did not cure the symptoms, but unfortunately we lacked patience, and the overly pragmatic General Dalang did not feel that there was anything wrong.
The Allied peacekeeping operations in the two places (wars of aggression} are still continuing, but they are somewhat overwhelmed by the continuous consumption of military expenditures. Compared to the Chinese state that was outside the world to recuperate, the behavior of the Allies was really a bit stupid. It's a pity that their overconfidence in their own strength and extreme paranoia about victory have made them mired in war.
The protracted war attrition made it increasingly unaffordable to buy expensive and advanced combat equipment from future technology companies, and the originally powerful and wealthy Allied forces began to gradually move towards the dark abyss of no return! Many advanced equipment on the battlefield cannot be effectively supplied once it is damaged in battle. And this indirectly prompted the front-line commanders not to easily use the only trump card in their hands! The excessive consumption of foreign wars made it difficult for governments to quickly fill this fiscal black hole, and this made the domestic situation of the Allied countries gradually collapse, and the continuous rise in prices and crime rates gradually made the originally harmonious social order gradually chaotic.
However, what really made it difficult for the Allies to bear was the all-out economic challenge from China. Shortly after the end of the Battle of Leningrad, under the secret impetus of Li Feng, Huaguo began to carry out reform and opening up according to the development model of the world in which it lived, and with the help of Li Feng, a traverser, Huaguo established a Longteng Group controlled by the Chinese Communist government, and the whole group was involved in a wide range of fields, including industry, agriculture, commerce, and high-tech fields. With science and technology far above this plane. In just a few months, China has completely surpassed the Western monopoly of all walks of life.
Relying on a variety of better products, the price of Chinese cabbage, and free after-sales service for life, Huaguo easily defeated the West and won a large number of orders from developing countries. The original trade surplus gradually turned into a deficit, and gradually increased over time. Due to the mass closure of factories, countless workers joined the army of unemployed, and could only survive on the pitiful handouts issued by the government, which further exacerbated the sharp social contradictions in the Allied countries, and made the social order hover on the verge of chaos.
The Allied powers were caught off guard by the remarkable achievements of China in the field of economic exploitation in just a few months, and the economic plunder, which was originally its specialty, was instead given to the army. At this moment, all the economic countermeasures of the Allied forces have not been effective, and even a frenzied wave of smuggling high-tech products of high quality and low prices has been set off in various countries. High profits make governments helpless. There were some speculators among them, and it is surprising that many large and well-known companies were also involved in the secret investigation that followed. Countries are not unprepared to copycat, but it is disappointing that even future tech companies that started with technology will have difficulty figuring out the mysteries of these products!
What made the Allies even more angry was that the Chinese government, which was originally very talkative, somehow became unobedient. In stark contrast to the previous attitude towards the Allies, Hua's sudden assertiveness prevented the Allies from getting all the benefits they wanted at the negotiating table for the first time. The Allies were embarrassed to find that if this unfavorable economic pattern was allowed to continue to develop, then China would be able to conquer the Allied countries without any military means.
And this also made the Allies seem to return to Japan in 1941, and if there is no war, the US oil embargo will collapse sooner or later, and the war is likely to be lost. How similar is the situation of the Allies now, if there is no war, the domestic economies of the countries will collapse sooner or later, and the governments of the countries will fall. If a war breaks out, it will become a three-front operation, the logistical pressure will be even greater, the domestic situation will be more severe, and it is not impossible that a large-scale riot will occur. However, the lesser of two evils, in the end, the top leaders of the Allied forces decided to launch a war against China after serious consideration based on their own interests.
It's just that there is always an excuse and a reason to fight, after all, to send the people of their own country to death, they always have to find a noble target to deceive these stupid hats. The dispute between China and Britain over the ownership of Hong Kong is exactly what it wants. As a long-standing historical dispute, the question of Hong Kong's ownership is even more complicated than the Anglo-Argentine dispute. First, the Qing government's incompetence in the Opium War led to the British lease of the area, and then in World War II, the Japanese Empire defeated the British and took de facto control of the area, and imposed decades of colonial rule over the area. Immediately after that, the Chinese Communist armed forces in modern China sent troops to recover Guangdong Province during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but for some reason did not send troops to recover Hong Kong. Until the recent Battle of Tokyo, when the Rising Sun Empire was defeated, the British sent an expeditionary fleet to successfully take over Hong Kong, but it was fiercely opposed by the Chinese Chinese government. In this context, the two sides began months-long territorial negotiations, but the differences between the two sides are so great that there is still no final solution acceptable to both sides.
In the absence of support, just when Britain was already considering a compromise to accept the CCP's "one country, two systems" proposal. The Allied countries, which had not supported Britain in the first place, suddenly went against the grain and decided to help Britain solve the Hong Kong problem. EU President Rupert Thornley made a lot of nonsense at the press conference, denouncing China's hegemonism and expressing resolute support for Britain's legitimate rights and interests in Hong Kong. Britain was excited by the collective transformation of its allies, and its attitude at the negotiating table with China suddenly became arrogant. And this also made Li Feng, who had been paying attention to the negotiation process, feel that things were not good, and the allies seemed to be determined to stir up trouble. It seems that the infiltration plan carried out secretly by himself will not be completely completed as planned. However, with the current progress, it is unlikely that they will want to kill the other party, but it is still easy to disarm them. However, as long as the other side does not take the initiative to start a war, Li Feng feels that it is better to delay the war between the two sides as much as possible, after all, the longer it drags on, the more serious the impact on the allies will be.
Originally, the two sides would not tear their faces so quickly, but the proposal that Britain took over made the two sides a little tense. If there is no level playing field, it will be clear what the outcome of the referendum will be. If you advance, war will inevitably break out, and if you retreat, you may lose your territory, lose your rights, and humiliate the country! However, if the other party's proposal is rejected, it will have a great impact on the international community of China's newly acquired status in the world! Moreover, once the war starts, the effect of Li Feng's next infiltration and sabotage plan will be greatly reduced.
Against this backdrop, negotiations between China and Britain on the referendum began intensely, and after several days of consultations, the negotiations were successful. And this also made Li Feng and Xiao Jinguang puzzled, originally thinking that Britain would obstruct the fairness of the referendum in the negotiations, so as to provoke a war between the two sides! However, the result was that the British side not only agreed to all of China's opinions and requests on the referendum, but even agreed to China's reasonable request for a third-party neutral country, Switzerland, to send someone to monitor the votes. It also allowed the Chinese side to send a team of thousands of people to Hong Kong before the referendum to conduct arbitrary propaganda. Britain's abnormal behavior made Li Feng difficult to understand, what did the other party want to do? Are they so confident that they will not be able to turn Hong Kong citizens to the British government in a fair environment?
Li Feng confidently believes that the Chinese in Hong Kong will not continue to choose to be the lackeys and slaves of the British after the motherland becomes strong, but the result of the vote makes Li Feng feel extremely heavy. Surprisingly, the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens did not vote for the powerful motherland, but for the British Empire, the colonizer that oppressed them for nearly a century. No matter how much propaganda the propaganda team sent by Hua Guo does, it is difficult to impress the Hong Kong people's choice, and patriotism is no different from the stinking shit of shit in their eyes than the economic benefits that can be easily obtained. Some propaganda teams were even severely beaten and plotted by the local people, and many people lost their precious lives for no apparent reason! Li Feng's mistake was to forget the history of Hong Kong in this plane and not understand the actual situation of the Chinese here. Li Feng thought that he had won the vote, but the result was a mess of loss, and there was no possibility of a reversal. And the propaganda team incident also caused Li Feng's inner world, which was already a little distorted, to suffer a serious blow again, making the dark side of his personality more and more intense, and killing more and more casual. And this also makes some people who don't know how to lift up taste the wrath of the transformation from angels to devils!
The Allies were unhappy with Britain's unilateral referendum, which required time to prepare for all-out war. At this moment, the Allied combat units from the Rising Sun Empire and the United States mainland are still on the way. It is irrational to provoke China so early, and the result of the referendum is simply the fuse of war!
The Chinese side did not quickly acknowledge the results of the referendum, but the allies led by Western countries praised it, and the mainstream media in the world controlled by them publicized the event. And all the countries in the world are waiting for the choice of the Chinese government. It's just that this seems to be a provocative general behavior, but Hua Guo did not have any violent reaction. Apart from the cookie-cutter protests against tirades, there has been almost no new word in the past few days. On the one hand, they hoped that Hua Guo would not intervene too early, but on the other hand, they were worried about how Hua Guo would end up if he really held back. After all, if Huaguo didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, then his nameless military operation would really become the laughing stock of the world.
At this time, Xiao Jinguang was discussing the solution to the Hong Kong issue with CCP ministerial-level officials. It's just that the solutions proposed by these people are either too weak or too radical! And this is contrary to Li Feng's policy of giving Xiao Jinguang the Hong Kong incident to be delayed if he can. But this matter cannot be dragged on, after all, the patriotic demonstrations in the country have intensified, if there are no tough measures. If you don't wait for the war to start, these so-called patriotic young people will make a mess of the entire national order!
The later the war starts, the better it will be for China, but unfortunately there are very few people who can really understand all this. Extreme nationalism has overwhelmed the minds of most Chinese people, making them only know about the war and ignore anything else. Just when Xiao Jinguang was distressed about this matter, Li Feng's sudden call made him find the backbone. And Li Feng's next words made the head of the republic feel a little chill in his heart. Because Li Feng doesn't seem to care about the life and death of tens of millions of local citizens in Hong Kong, the only thing he needs is to get back the lost land of Hong Kong.
When the meeting ended, Huaguo's next move surprised countries around the world. Because the Chinese government not only recognized the legitimacy of the referendum, but also announced the renunciation of all land in Hong Kong. Is that really the case? The answer, of course, is no.
Because the subsequent measures of China suddenly turned Hong Kong, an extremely prosperous international metropolis with a population of tens of millions, and the world's third largest financial center, into a dead land. And Huaguo's measures are not complicated, except for sending more than 100,000 troops to establish a blockade line, and stipulating that those who cross without permission will be killed without mercy, regardless of age or age. It also completely severed all ties between the city and the mainland. Water cuts, electricity cuts, food cuts, gas cuts, internet cuts, in short, everything that can be cut off is cut off. Before this policy came into effect, another policy was also very eye-catching, that is, citizens who voluntarily arrived in China within 24 hours and renounced their Hong Kong identity. China will provide extremely generous quasi-national treatment, and guarantee that it will use twice the funds to compensate for all economic losses caused by the abandonment of Hong Kong property by the other party, provided that there is sufficient evidence. It's a pity that 24 hours have passed, and there are very few people coming. On the contrary, the number of people going to Hong Kong from China is not endless, which really makes Li Feng feel very disappointed!
Although the Allied forces and the British government were extremely dissatisfied with China's actions, China's actions did not violate any international law. After all, a country has the right to trade freely, and if you have money, you can't force you to buy and sell if you don't want to earn it! It's just that Huaguo's behavior has made the allies suffer, and it is really self-inflicted! Who made them want to be bitches and want to set up an archway, they have to make this kind of fame. It's good now, the war didn't start, but I found a new burden for myself!
But if you say it, you can't take it back. Huaguo's means of cutting off soon had an effect. As a non-self-sufficient island city, its dependence on water, electricity, gas and other resources soon became apparent. At the beginning, out of face, the Allied countries also helped each other with a lot of resources and emergency responses, and maintained the normal operation of the city for a few days. But as time went on, this thankless and loss-making business made it increasingly difficult for the Allied countries to survive. The cost of transportation far higher than that of the interior, the huge consumption of resources, and the disproportionate profits made it difficult for the Allied countries to undertake this business. In many cases, the profit of a round trip of the fleet is not even enough for the fuel money for the round trip!
Soon, many of the weaker countries in the Allied forces could not hold on, and the financial subsidies for each trip to the transport companies were abolished. Because this burden has put the fragile economies of these countries in jeopardy, threatening to overturn at any moment. Hell it would be if the government was not torn to shreds by the angry populace if it went on like this. And the advocates of this operation are also beginning to retreat at this moment, so the materials transported are getting smaller and smaller each time, the price is doubling each time, and finally the last bit of oil and water from the Hong Kong government is also gone.
The British government, left in a daze, faced with tens of millions of hungry mouths, did not know what to do. A few days later, the Hong Kong government, under the instructions of the British, began to limit the supply of food, and at the same time, due to the extreme chaos of social order, the scale of public demonstrations became larger, and finally the Hong Kong government had to impose a military curfew. It's just that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the military pressure without sufficient resources is doomed to not last long. Soon the deadliest food was finally in full supply, and the riots that spread across the city finally broke out! And this riot finally turned the whole of Hong Kong into a port that no one cared about.
The British army stationed in Hong Kong and the armed police composed of Chinese said that there were more than 100,000 people, and the weapons and equipment were naturally the standard configuration of the Allied forces and were very advanced, but they were powerless to maintain normal social order in the face of a mob hundreds of times more than 100 times more almost defenseless. With the first gunshot in the city, the whole situation finally got out of control! The only thing the British army could do was to concentrate on the rapid evacuation of the large number of expatriates with their own nationality. As for the local Chinese, as long as you have enough money, you can naturally leave with them. If you don't have money, then I'm sorry, no matter what noble status you are or have been, how much you have contributed to the development of Hong Kong, and how much you support the British government's colonial rule over Hong Kong, you are not qualified to leave!
The seemingly formidable British army was driven out of Hong Kong, and what happened next was terrible. After losing the only violent law enforcement agency, the once prosperous city suddenly became chaotic, and robbery and murder were everywhere. The Pearl of the Orient of the British Empire suddenly turned into a terrifying sin city, where all crimes were staged throughout the city, and the whole city instantly seemed to become a living hell. The lack of food has led to chilling and horrific cannibalism in many areas. Under the circumstance that their lives were greatly threatened, countless civilians fled to the mainland for this reason, but Li Feng had already given them a chance to change their fate, but they themselves gave up their dignity and were unwilling to return. The result, of course, was mercilessly slaughtered by the clone forces that had been prepared for a long time! It's just that these images will never let the world know that under Noah's unsolvable communication shielding and satellite control, it is as if none of this has happened. As for such a thing as corpses, I think some kind of corrosive liquid invented in the USSR could completely solve this problem!
A few days of chaos turned the whole of Hong Kong from heaven to hell, and when the rebels, the largest force in the riots, stabilized the situation, tens of millions of people were killed or injured in the brutal riots that lasted for days. However, it is hard to believe that the leader of the rebel army is probably a second disease in the fever, not only declaring to the world that Hong Kong is completely independent and state-building, but even leading millions of rebel troops to the side of the Chinese blockade line, wanting to make more territory and hegemony, the result is needless to say, you can also guess what the scene is like. After all, those defenders are not human at all! Subsequently, Hua Guo used this as a reason to announce that due to regional tensions, in order to prevent a possible mob onslaught. Not only did the entire South China Sea Fleet be dispatched in the name of the exercise, but it completely blocked all water passages in and out of Hong Kong from the mainland. In addition, fighter planes were dispatched to blockade the airspace around Hong Kong for 24 hours, not allowing any aircraft of unknown nationality to enter the area, and if there was a violator, they would shoot down directly without warning.
Since this incident, the new leader of the rebel army has finally figured out the situation, lowered his profile and canceled independence, but this guy still wants to gain self-control. It's just that this condition is obviously a bit too high, and the Chinese side will naturally not agree. It took a few days to starve millions of people to death. The new leader of the other side finally decided to return unconditionally, and a new referendum was quickly held under the supervision of the Chinese commissioner. It's just that to the surprise of the rebels, after the voting results came out, Huaguo still didn't accept it, which made these Hong Kong people also baffled, for some reason.
Soon, under the instruction of Xiao Jinguang, the Huaguo commissioner quietly pointed out the reason for the matter, so that these abandoned people who were about to collapse finally understood the reason. It turns out that in this referendum, there are still 10% of the people who do not accept the return and voted against, which makes it difficult to understand that these psychopaths are still fantasizing about the bullshit promised by their British masters before they fled, and they are really a bunch of hopeless fools.
These madmen who insisted on their ideals naturally became a thorn in the side of the rebel army and the broad masses of the people! Soon after two days of bloody battles, the original opponents either gave up their original choice or entered the legendary minced meat buns.
After taking out these brain defects and imbeciles, the new referendum was finally unanimously approved. And Huaguo also decided to reluctantly agree to the other party's request after three shirks. Subsequently, China began to airdrop supplies, sending soldiers into the city to disarm the citizens and restore social order. Hua Guo almost bloodlessly took this city, which was on the verge of destruction. Originally, Li Feng wanted to completely empty the entire city without leaving a single living mouth, but for the sake of his old acquaintance Xiao Jinguang's pleading, he reluctantly agreed to the request not to kill all the remaining people in the city. It's just that this seemingly benevolent decision caused chaos in the rear of Huaguo during the fateful war, and the internal law and order almost did not collapse, which is a later story.
When the Allies learned on television that Hong Kong had voted to return to China, the long-awaited opportunity finally appeared. They had finally found an excuse for armed intervention, which was the specialty of the Western countries, the Allies. Although what they say is somewhat different from the actual situation, some of the stories they have casually slandered do happen.
When the Allies finally could not bear to launch a declaration of war against China, finally a decisive battle for world hegemony was in full swing between the Allies and China. It's a pity that their behavior is really not well considered, and in the end they die quite ugly in this battle!
