Whether it is out of duty or ambition for the development of the New Territories, Bai Liji must fight with the villagers of the New Territories, divide the winner or lose, and then negotiate.

Night.

Two o'clock in the morning.

The Kowloon and New Territories Fire Brigades and the Joint Operations Department operated through the night to block the six main entrances and exits in advance.

Following.

Nine a.m.

The militia groups formed by the Hong Kong Island Federation of Trade Unions were formally reorganized, and each sent a platoon of troops to begin to approach the pass, and armed clashes broke out between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m., with more than 1,000 men participating in the battle at six passes.

Noon, twelve o'clock.

The Federation of Trade Unions captured four major passes, with 32 casualties and more than 100 wounded.

Since the development of the New Territories involves the interests of the villagers in the New Territories, coupled with the slogan of the Federation of Trade Unions "anti-British and anti-riot", the villagers enthusiastically supported it, the strength of the people was fully brought into play, and the clan system was managed, and the figure of more than 100 casualties was completely acceptable.

Since then, the New Territories have been under semi-military blockade.

In his capacity as chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, Yang Guang convened the Council of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, united many factional forces, and formally established the "National Struggle Committee", or "Fighting Committee" for short. The Federation of Trade Unions was further upgraded to a quasi-military organization, and in addition to the members of the ten major patriarchs, a number of well-known people from the Hong Kong Island faction joined the Fighting Committee as members.

Mr. Chu Wai-nam, former Honorary President of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, also joined the Fighting Committee to provide basic daily necessities such as grain, oil, rice and noodles to the villagers in the New Territories.

In addition, there were many newspaper and press figures among the members of the Fighting Committee, and many of the Hong Kong Federation leaflets soon spread to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, and the turmoil began to spread.

"The conflict broke out so quickly."

Chaofu Restaurant.

He Dingxian asked Reluo, Jiang Zuhui, Chen Li and others to drink tea together, and sat in the teahouse, seeing that the crowd on the street was much less.

"The storm is coming."

Chen Li sighed.

"Now Hong Kong Island is spreading that the New Territories is supported by the North, and it plans to return to autonomy first, and then completely take back the whole of Hong Kong by the end of the year." Lei Luo looked at Brother Xian with an inquiring look in his eyes, and said tentatively: "It's really fake." ”

"How do I know?"

He Dingxian smiled calmly.

First, the political work of the Fighting Committee is very good, second, the Fighting Committee is well-staffed and does things in a very orderly manner, unlike ordinary organizations, and third, the people of the New Territories have not contacted the North, how can they dare to fight with arms?

Although He Dingxian is the driving force behind the whole drama, I also believe that there are comrades from his hometown who are working hard and adding fuel to the fire. Because, this big drama is not something he can do alone, everyone is actively involved in the storm for their own interests.

He just sees the most clearly, knows the most, and has the ability to pick peaches.

Moreover, his brothers all knew that he had a good relationship with the north, and even suspected him, but after thinking about it too much, according to his judgment, there were indeed people in his hometown who supported the New Territories to play really, but not red, but cyan.

Because, the set of games used by the Dou Committee is not orthodox great-power, but rather like a powerful minister asking for credit, hoping to win political capital through the New Territories. Therefore, the June Seven incident in history made a lot of trouble, and it was not stopped until the big guy spoke.

In the eyes of the high-level, now is actually not the time to take back the New Territories, not the time to take back Hong Kong Island

"Don't worry, Britain is in the wane, but the north also needs to recuperate, Hong Kong Island has the ability to serve as a trade window, and Hong Kong Island will remain for the time being until the international blockade is lifted." He gave his brother a reassurance pill first.

"That's good."

Jiang Zuhui, Cai Zhaoguang and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, the incident was too big, the wind was in full swing, and the grain prices had already risen, and no one could stay out of the situation, so they had to be nervous.

"Ah Tsai."

"Let Haiber put some grain out, stabilize the market price, and don't make the poor unable to eat." He Dingxian raised his glass to drink tea, and the lard boy bowed and agreed: "I'll call now." ”

"The O-mark, anti-black, and military uniforms of each department must be stabilized, and they can go on missions, but they are not allowed to shoot without my order!" He Dingxian said.

Lei Luo, Jiang Zuhui and others solemnly agreed: "Yes!" ”

"Sir!"

"As long as we don't shoot, the Hong Kong government won't dare to force us to do it."

After all, the police officers are also Chinese.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, all entrances and exits in the New Territories fell into the hands of the militia group, and the New Territories entered a state of loss of control. In the Governor's Palace, Bai Liji, dressed in a suit and tie, stood in front of a telephone, bowed, and said, "Hello, sir." ”

"Mr. Bai, Downing Street has been informed of the turbulent situation and is currently negotiating with the North, but the North has always insisted that Hong Kong Island belongs to his territory according to the unified propaganda tone."

"Due to the international image, it can only be determined as an internal incident at this time, and the Hong Kong government needs to make every effort to solve it." Harold said in a hoarse voice and in a heavy tone: "After Nanyang, I went to Hong Kong Island again." ”

"The Federation can lose Nanyang, but it can't lose Hong Kong Island again, please let the last rays of the sun never set shine on Xiangjiang."

Bai Liji puffed up his chest and shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, sir, I will not disappoint the empress and guarantee the last port of the Federation in East Asia." ”

Britain's influence in Europe and the United States has weakened, and if it can control the Asian shipping lines and rely on the exploitation of third world countries, life will be much better, but unfortunately it is destined to be a fool's dream.

"I give you all the right to decide except for the transfer of the garrison, to restore law and order in the New Territories as quickly as possible, and call me if you need anything." Harold said: "As long as Downing Street and the royal family can agree, they will never refuse." ”

"A hereditary baron's medal, the Empress has prepared it for you."

Bai Liji listened to the fire for a while, and he already had the heart to die for the Federation, gritted his teeth and said: "Within a month, take back the New Territories and calm the turmoil!" ”

Harold felt a lot more comfortable, but then felt sorry for Bai Liji, in fact, after Ge Hongliang laid a good foundation, Bai Liji has the opportunity to lead Hong Kong Island to achieve an economic take-off, from the development report of the past three years, Hong Kong Island's growth rate is gratifying.

If this did not happen, Bai Liji would probably be a governor who was loved by the citizens, left a good reputation, and was honored with honor. But Hong Kong Island is a powder keg, too far from Britain and too close to the mainland.

Bai Liji is now sitting on a powder keg, and if he is not careful, his bones will be blown up. Of course, this is also the responsibility of the governor himself, and the more chaotic the situation, the more he can show his personal ability. If not, how can there be a hereditary baron?

"Good work!"

Downing Street hung up.

Bai Liji exhaled, turned around and opened the door, and saw Kunxian and Jiade standing at the door, standing up and saluting, shouting, "Hello sir! ”

"Say!"

Bai Liji invited them to enter the door, but there was no extra emotion, spit out a word, and took the coffee cup to drink.

Jiade: "Sir, according to the intelligence officer of Luohu Port, a group of suspicious people broke through the port in the afternoon, and the Military Intelligence Department tracked them, arrested five people on the spot, and seized two boxes of medicines. The medical staff, who were confirmed to be the ones who had come to help, have been transferred to Victoria Prison. ”

"Let go."

Bai Liji became very decisive: "Medical personnel are humanitarian rescue, and it is not appropriate to imprison without authorization, immediately release and repatriate, and ban entry for ten years." ”

"Yes!"

Jiade opened his mouth to agree, but his face was embarrassed again, and he said loudly: "Sir, several informants planted by the Military Intelligence Department in the New Territories have been found out and confessed their mistakes. The power of the New Territories clan is too strong, and any outsiders in a village can be recognized at a glance. ”

"I bought a few informants with money, and with the upgrading of the organization and the establishment of the fighting committee, I can't receive any news. Now the New Territories is not only out of control, but also out of intelligence. ”

Bai Liji had expected it, and said lightly: "The New Territories is such a big place, and the garrison controls the border ports, and the military intelligence can be seen by actions, and other information is public, and the military intelligence department does not have to pay senseless sacrifices." ”

If you want to insert an agent under the nose of the clan system, it is more difficult than entering Buckingham Palace to steal underwear.

As Bai Liji turned his attention to Kun Xian, the Commissioner of Police, Kun Xian, straightened his waist and said solemnly: "At noon, the police force ordered the Kowloon District Crime Unit and O Kee to go to the New Territories to recapture the road card, and a total of 320 police officers were dispatched. ”

"Two hours after the officers arrived at the roadcar, there were less than 30 rounds of fire."

Jia De frowned: "Drill?" ”

Kun Xian continued: "The Chinese police officers on Hong Kong Island are subject to political propaganda in the New Territories, and their resistance to war is serious, and they are permeated with compromiseism. ”

"Then don't let the Chinese police officers get on it." Bai Liji knew in his heart that while the police force was appointing Chinese on a large scale to facilitate the management of Chinese, it was also destined to no longer be a tool for suppressing Chinese. If the Chinese police were forced to fight, the risk of military mutiny would be extremely high, and it would not be a problem in the New Territories

"Let the Chinese police continue to maintain law and order, and mobilize the explosion-proof response team!" While expanding the Force, Pak has also focused on allocating funds to the Explosion Response Unit, which currently has 250 members, each of whom is equipped with militarized equipment.

The operatives were split between British and Chinese, with most of the commanders being British, and a few inspectors being Chinese.

And the explosion-proof response team itself is a rapid response force, a sword specially prepared for large-scale riots.

“yes，sir！”

Kun Xianli saluted, opened his mouth and said: "Do you want to discuss with the commander of the country, whether you can mobilize some Chinese police officers to attack the New Territories, after all, the anti-explosion response team has few manpower." ”

"Not for now, I'll talk about it later." In Bai Liji's heart, the police officers of He Dingxian's family are not subordinates at all, they are mercenaries, and it is necessary to use them to fight at a sky-high price. It is much more economical to use the power that can be used now, and then ask them to finish it when the situation is sorted out.

"Yes!"

Seeing the Governor waving his hand, Kun Xian stood upright, turned around and left the office, immediately drove back to the police station, and gave an order: "Order, the explosion-proof response team will go to the New Territories, take back the main roadblocks, and reopen the connection between the Hong Kong government and the New Territories." ”

"Dididi!"

The Chief Inspector blew the whistle.

Building D, Tai Kwun.

The officers were fully dressed and firearmed, sat on the benches, and immediately got up and ran to the training ground to assemble. More than 200 police officers reported by name, boarded the car and set out, and their movements were well-trained, like a majestic army.
