Fang Lang's words made everyone stunned now, they didn't expect that Fang Lang, a Brazilian rear admiral who couldn't beat the eight poles of the port city, would have such an experience, and the other party would actually contribute to the liberation of the port city.

This was really much beyond everyone's expectations, and for a while it fell into a somewhat strange silence.

Of course, the commander of the British Navy stationed in Hong Kong City was aware of this, and noticed that the eyes of several people were unconsciously looking in his direction, and he understood that this was the truth of the news that everyone wanted to confirm from him.

Of course, he couldn't deny this obvious fact, so he could only nod lightly to everyone. When everyone saw this situation, they wisely chose to shut up.

The reporter who raised this question was even more speechless by Fang Lang's question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, you must know that he had not participated in any resistance during the occupation of the port city by the Japanese, and now when he was asked directly, his face suddenly became very embarrassed and embarrassed.

However, the people at the scene didn't have time to care about his feelings, and after listening to Fang Lang's story, many people's attitudes towards Fang Lang changed, and one of the reporters who reacted first directly turned his head to Governor Grantham and said:

"Mr. Governor, I don't know what you think of what General Fang said just now that the other side has no intention of recovering Hong Kong City by force?"

As soon as these words came out, the reporters at the scene also reacted quickly, why did they keep pointing the finger at Fang Lang! On this topic thrown by the other party, we should be more concerned about the views of the Hong Kong Governor!

Therefore, for a while, everyone's attention was diverted, and even the topic that Fang Lang said that the total answer was a question was instantly left behind.

Of course, Fang Lang was happy to see this, and quietly took a step back and gave up the throne to Mr. Governor.

Governor Grantham also scratched his head for a while about the reporters' questions, as the governor of Hong Kong City, of course he hoped that the Hong Kong City could maintain the status quo, so he had to follow Fang Lang's words:

"Of course, we also hope that the other side can exercise restraint and resolve the port city issue through negotiations, and judging from the current situation, General Fang's analysis is not unreasonable.

At present, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also engaged in active negotiations with the other side, and if the two sides can reach an agreement, the issue of our port city will certainly be satisfactorily resolved. ”

Then the reporters asked the naval commander for his opinion on relevant issues, and I don't know if it was for the reason of appeasing the people of the port city, and neither of them continued to deliberately publicize the military strength of the naval warships in the port of the city, but began to analyze the current situation from the perspective of peace.

And this is exactly what Fang Lang wants to see, after all, he came here with the purpose of peace, not to provoke trouble.

Soon, the press conference ended smoothly in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere.

Because of the large number of British Navy in the Admiralty Naval Base, the number of naval dormitories that can be adjusted is limited, and the officers and men under Fang Lang's command can only place some of the naval officers and sailors on the shore, and the other part still needs to be stationed on the warship.

Fang Lang did not have any dissatisfaction with this, this time he was stationed in Gangcheng for a long time, and the officers and men could go ashore in batches to recuperate, and he himself did not use the dormitory arranged for him by the British Navy, but chose to stay directly on the warship to rest and recuperate, which moved the officers and men of the Navy under his command.

In fact, there was another reason why Fang Lang did not live in the naval dormitory arranged by the British, that is, he needed to arrange some other things in the port city, and he didn't want the British to know.

You must know that the British intelligence agency has a long history, and although its reputation is not as famous as the American CIA in the eyes of many people, those who really know it know that Britain is an old intelligence power, and in the two world wars, it has fought with German intelligence agencies and has very rich practical combat experience.

And the port city is also the largest intelligence center in Asia, and the strength of the British here is not small, so there are many things that are better to keep a low profile!

Of course, he will not live on a warship all the time, and the port city is an important part of his business in Asia, and their company's investment here is no less than that of Japan.

In addition, he was preparing for the upcoming war on the peninsula very early on, opening a lot of trading companies around the world under the name of many British. The last time he helped Suleiman Brom transfer treasure from India in the name of transporting cotton, he arranged for a relationship with the big landowner in India.

Much of the cotton that was now shipped from India to the port city was carried by his people, and of course these merchants had nothing to do with his Universal Group or the Fangyuan Group on the surface.

Even if someone finds the heads of these merchants, it is absolutely impossible to contact his heads.

The reason for this is also very simple: the time when the hometown of the Korean Peninsula War participated in the war was in winter, and what the troops lacked most was warm cotton clothes and cotton clothes, and cotton was also a raw material for making medical gauze and medical cotton, and a proper and important strategic material.

Of course, Fang Lang wanted to find a way to send as much as possible to his hometown, so he began to lay out a cotton supply channel from India to Hong Kong City early on, and also opened several cotton spinning factories in Hong Kong City for this purpose.

Since he had done so much to set up in Port City, of course he wouldn't even have a residence, and the only reason he didn't go to live in these places was that it wasn't time yet.

The time soon came to night, the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion held a welcome dinner for Fang Lang in the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, and all the celebrities in the port city were invited.

But Fang Lang didn't have much interest in dealing with these Chinese celebrities, because most of the people invited to come were comprador-born wealthy Chinese businessmen, although they were not traitors and lackeys, but they were definitely not patriots.

After all, it is also unlikely that a truly patriotic person will be liked by the British authorities, inviting them to a dinner party.

Therefore, Fang Lang behaved very low-key throughout the dinner, and tried to reduce his sense of presence as much as possible except for necessary entertainment.

"Fang, you don't seem to like this kind of occasion?"

As Fang Lang's friend, Reinhardt had been paying attention to Fang Lang's feelings, and seeing that the other party was obviously a little absent-minded and not interested in such a banquet, he couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Brother, you know me, I have never liked this kind of banquet, and I want to experience the food stall culture of Hong Kong City more than that."

Hearing this, Reinhardt couldn't help but hold his forehead a little, this good friend of his has indeed never been interested in this kind of drinking party.

He has been stationed in Hong Kong City for a few months, and of course he has a certain understanding of the food stalls in Hong Kong City, and now when he heard Fang Lang say that he wanted to experience the food stall culture, he couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment.

The current security situation in Hong Kong City is not good, and there are often clashes between food stalls at night, and he is a little worried that if he goes out with Fang Lang, it will not be good if there is an accident.

But as a friend, the other party offered to try the food stall, and he couldn't refuse. Looking up, I looked around, and the political and business elites who were dressed well and talking and laughing.

Looking at the good brother who was obviously a little interested, he could only grit his teeth and say:

"Okay, after the banquet, let's change our clothes and experience the characteristics of the food stalls in Hong Kong City!"

Fang Lang smiled when he heard this, patted the other party's arm with satisfaction and said:

"Good brother, that's right! Young people like us, of course, have to have some young people's activities, and if we stay with these old guys for a long time, sooner or later we will become as dull as them. ”

When Reinhardt heard this, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, his brother is really a master who doesn't play cards according to common sense, this kind of banquet is an occasion where many people break their heads and try their best to squeeze in, but he just disdains it, but has a soft spot for the food stalls that these upper-class people despise very much.

"Alright, alright, you better be quiet! You're not afraid of these old guys, I'm going to eat under others! If they listen to me and give me little shoes to wear, I will be uncomfortable. ”

"I said Reinhardt, it's not like your kid at all! The son of the dignified Chief of Staff of the Royal Navy, afraid of these old fellows? ”

Listening to Fang Lang's ridiculous tone, Reinhardt only felt a row of black lines appear on his head, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look around, and found that no one was eavesdropping on the two of them, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Brother Fang, I'm begging you, can you be quieter? It's no longer the case, my father is stepping down as Chief of the Navy Staff after Christmas, and some people are trying to find some trouble for my father and show loyalty to the new commander!

You don't want to make anything happen to my father and make it impossible for me to get off the stage. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang frowned slightly, if Reinhardt's father stepped down from the position of Chief of the Naval Staff, although it would not have much impact on him, it would definitely not be good news.

However, with the status of the Henderson family in Britain, even if someone wants to trouble him, it is impossible to kill him, after all, this kind of old aristocracy sometimes has to talk about some rules.

"Oh! Is Uncle Henderson stepping down?

It doesn't matter, if Uncle Henderson wants to, he can find time to come to Brazil after retirement, and I promise to give him a warm reception and make sure he has a good time.

As for you kid, you are also from the Henderson family, so you don't need to be so cautious! After Uncle Henderson pushes it down, you are the hope of the Henderson family, you can't be cowardly!

Hello brothers, if there is anything that needs my help, just ask, where I can help, I will definitely not postpone. ”

Reinhardt was also a little moved when he heard this, although Fang Lang had just stated at the press conference that he was not here to support the UK, but he was able to take the initiative to support him, and he was still very moved.

"Don't worry! Our Henderson family is not so fragile, my father just retired normally, and he didn't make any mistakes, and besides, our family relationship is good, and my future will not be affected at all. ”

"Then what else is there to say, what is the meaning of this banquet! Walk, walk, let's find a place to experience the food stalls in Port City. ”

Seeing that the other party seemed to be really fine, Fang Lang also relieved his heart, and immediately urged Reinhardt to go out for supper together in good spirits.

In this regard, Ryan Hartton felt helpless, this is a dinner party for you! If the people above knew that you, the protagonist, were taken away by me for supper, I wouldn't have been sprayed to death by my superiors!

Hurriedly reached out and pressed Fang Lang's shoulder and said:

"Brother, go, go, I will definitely take you to experience the style of the food stalls in Hong Kong City tonight, but why wait until the dinner is over! You're the star of the dinner! ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang touched his forehead a little helplessly, threw the wine glass in his hand on the small table next to him, and complained to Reinhardt:

"Alas! You're right, it's really not good to leave at this time, it's a bit of a shame for Mr. Governor. But if we come there later, the food stalls won't close! ”

"Don't worry! As far as I know, most of the food stalls are open until after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and we don't have to go there after the banquet. ”

"No problem, then it's decided, while you have time now, you hurry up and arrange a few cars, and then we will leave directly after the dinner."

Reinhardt saw that Fang Lang had made up his mind, and he also understood that he would definitely not be able to go tonight, so he could only sigh helplessly, get up and say:

"Alas! You're a tough kid, okay, I'll arrange it now, and we'll go straight over after dinner. ”

Fang Lang laughed and got up and gave the other party a big hug, patted the other party's back hard and said:

"Haha...... Good brother, that's right! This is the friendship of the landlord, then I will wait for your good news here. ”

Regarding Fang Lang's rogue behavior, Reinhardt could only smile bitterly and shake his head as he went to arrange the vehicle.

Looking at Reinhardt's departing figure, Fang Lang slowly sat back in the corner, and once again picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips, looking as if he was continuing to taste the wine.

But his eyes had already quietly surveyed the guests at the banquet, and Reinhardt's words reminded him that these Englishmen were clearly not of the same mind.

Today's statement must have aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, and the news of the platform for the British that everyone was looking forward to did not wait, but was directly led to the confrontation between China and Britain in the direction of peace negotiations by Fang Lang's words.

This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among anti-China people in Britain, after all, Fang Lang is only a rear admiral of the Brazilian Navy, and the Brazilian Navy is not a powerful military power. Even in the eyes of many British, Brazil was like a Portuguese colony.

At this time, Fang Lang's self-assertive statement will naturally make these white supremacist elites feel dissatisfied, and it may be followed by hostile targeted actions.

And Reinhardt, who is an Englishman, will certainly perceive this atmosphere before he does, not so much because he is worried about the chain reaction caused by his father's imminent departure.

It is better to say that he felt that there was an abnormal mood among the British in the port city.

Thinking of this, the corners of Fang Lang's mouth couldn't help but sneer, he really looked forward to someone preparing to do something to him, you must know that his current identity is not an ordinary Chinese, but a Brazilian rear admiral, although this identity is felt by many Britons has no weight.

But it is also a diplomatic status, and once someone takes any action against him, he will definitely let him know what is called a diplomatic incident.
