    The British telegram, to be precise, should be a diplomatic note, and it is in the form of a formal official document. "Her Majesty's Government of the Queen of the British Empire formally notes to His Excellency Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the Government of the Republic of China, Zi.  I heard that your troops have expelled the Japanese troops and recovered Hong Kong. Our government is very pleased to see that your Excellency, General, has fulfilled the relevant provisions of the Allied Military Mutual Assistance Treaty."

    "Here, Sir Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, would like to express his great gratitude to General Tang on behalf of the British Empire Government. In accordance with international practice, the British Empire Government will resume administrative power and military defense power over Hong Kong from now on. The British Empire  The new Governor in Hong Kong will leave for his post in the near future. General Wang Tang will, in accordance with the principles of international practice and from the perspective of maintaining the internal unity of the Allies, hand over the sovereignty of Hong Kong as soon as possible once the Governor of Hong Kong arrives."

    The declaration of sovereignty made by General Tang before was contrary to international practice and a blatant defiance of international conventions. General Tang should immediately announce it to the world and withdraw the relevant announcement. At the same time, the British Empire government does not want to be involved in the process of handing over Hong Kong sovereignty.  , an unpleasant situation occurred, and it was signed by Sir Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the British Empire.  ¡± Rebirth of the War Years 1665

    Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng looked at the teacher intently, trying to see anger or contempt in his expression. Unfortunately, they were disappointed. They saw nothing on the teacher's face.  It can be seen that he is still as calm as ever, even a little too calm.

    After putting down the telegram, Tang Qiuli didn't say anything. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window. He looked out at the clear water and white sail-dotted Victoria Bay in the distance. The sunshine in Hong Kong's July morning was evenly distributed through the glass window.  Sprinkled on his body, looking from behind, his back was enveloped in a magnificent halo.

    Zhao Yuhe couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Sir, don't you feel angry when faced with the shameless face and rude demands of the British?" 138 Kanshu.com does not skip words.

    Tang Qiuli turned around and said calmly: "Yuhe, why should I be angry?"

    Zhao Yuhe said: "But this telegram is simply a rogue act! It's a shame for the British to resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong! What a bastard!" Zhao Yuhe, the always peaceful and gentle chief of staff,  He couldn't help but use foul language. Chen Feng, the director of the Communications Department, never spoke. Although he was also very angry, with the division commander and chief of staff here, it was not his turn to speak. This was the rule!

    Tang Qiuli smiled, the kind of smile that made him laugh uncontrollably as if he had seen the funniest thing, "Yuhe, since we know that the British are acting rogue, why should we be angry? Hong Kong is in our hands.  If it weren't for a telegram from the British, we would give it up. It doesn't matter if the British Governor of Hong Kong comes, but his status is that he can only enter the country as a tourist, and he must be within the scope designated by us.  After all, Hong Kong needs to restore its economy and cannot close the door!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng both laughed. Thinking about it, how much trouble can a mere commander-in-chief make in Hong Kong? Every move is under the surveillance of Shen Jun's investigation department agents. Besides, he has  Do you have the guts?  There is not a single British soldier in Hong Kong, and it seems that they are throwing themselves into a trap.

    Zhao Yuhe asked: "Teacher, how do we reply to the British? You set the tone, and I will write a reply right away!"

    Tang Qiuli put a sarcastic smile on his lips and said: "What are you replying to? Just ignore it, ignore it, and don't respond. Just think that the British are suffering from collective hysteria. They have a high fever and are talking nonsense. For people with mental illness,  , There is no need to waste energy, but this diplomatic note is really useful. Is it true that Yuhe, the British Embassy, ??sent it directly to me without going through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" 138 Kanshu Zhu.com does not skip words.

    Zhao Yuhe replied affirmatively: "Yes, Commander, the British diplomatic envoy who came to deliver the documents specifically emphasized this point, saying that it was to show due respect to you."

    At this time, Tang Qiuli couldn't help laughing loudly, "The respect you deserve for me? That Churchill, he never forgets to use tricks. Even a useless document has to fan the flames and provoke  The estrangement made Chairman Chiang in Chongqing jealous of me. I really don¡¯t understand. The British have too much time to take care of themselves. How can they still have extra energy to try to get their hands on Hong Kong, which they can¡¯t even get? Maybe the Prime Minister has pink eye.  Come on!"

    Then, Tang Qiuli said to Chen Feng: "Director Chen, your Communications Department will immediately send a special person on a special plane to deliver this diplomatic note from the British to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing as quickly as possible.  , In addition, I would like to convey my opinions to Chairman Chiang, which are related to major diplomatic matters between China and Britain, and involve the unity within the Allies. Qiu Li does not dare to make arbitrary opinions, and it all depends on Chairman Chiang and the National People's Congress.?Decision, Qiu Li himself must obey!  "

    After hearing what Tang Qiuli said, Zhao Yuhe was in awe, "Sir, it's so tall! If we kick the ball to the national government, wouldn't we compete for the mayor of Hong Kong? Let the national government and the British compete in the ring. We are optimistic about it."  The drama is over, sir, I guess, even if they fight back and forth, the mayor will not be appointed. Think about it, all the factions in the national government are vying for the throne of the mayor of Hong Kong, and the British will also send the governor of Hong Kong. It will be a headache.  , It¡¯s Chairman Chiang and the big guys in the government!¡±

    Tang Qiuli, Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng all laughed. This laughter was somewhat complacent or gloating.

    The Chongqing National Government meeting on the candidate for the mayor of Hong Kong was held on time on the morning of July 25 in the large conference room of the Executive Yuan of the National Government. For this meeting, the bosses of various factions did not sleep a wink all night and urgently arranged their troops.  Formation, this is the final competition, a close fight, a fight to the death, and it¡¯s time to show the final trump card. No one is sure which faction will get this piece of fat in the end. After all, only two people can see each other in the water.  Mud feet?

    However, these are the big bosses who have become elites. They instinctively felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the meeting. There was only one reason. Chairman Chiang, who was sitting on the rostrum, had a face so gloomy that he could drop water.  With a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth, he said nothing and scanned the crowd with sharp eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of pity in it.

    Chairman Chiang looked at the people who were eager to try and said: "Very good, each of you wants to get what you need. The throne of the mayor of Hong Kong is so fiercely fought for that it's almost a fight. Even the usual aloof  Several people outside the world have also moved their hearts. It can be seen that the appeal of the mayor of Hong Kong is huge. Today's meeting is to finalize the candidate. Before the meeting, I want everyone to listen to a telegram!  "

    After saying that, with a signal, a young major attendant strode up to the microphone, read a long telegram with a clear voice and clear enunciation, then saluted the leaders with a military salute, turned and walked off the stage.  .

    Quiet, absolutely quiet, everyone was dumbfounded. You looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw the horror in each other's hearts. "How could this British person get in the way? The British request,  It seems reasonable. According to the treaty signed between the Qing Dynasty and the British, Hong Kong still has more than fifty years before the lease expires. It is reasonable for them to demand the exercise of sovereignty. Why didn't they expect it? They just took it from Tang Qiuli's mouth.  Food, and the British thing!¡± Rebirth of the War Years 1665

    If it were just the United Kingdom, it wouldn't be so difficult. After all, the British can't protect themselves now. It's uncertain when the Germans will destroy the country. The key is that there is the United States backing the British. Although the Americans are also  The Japanese were beaten into hiding, but it was a powerful country. Many of the equipment of the Central Army came from the Americans. They were a ruthless character who could not afford to offend.

    Looking at the various officials whose faces were changing and their eyes were rolling around, Chairman Chiang sneered and said: "Mother Xipi! We are all fighting. Now, if anyone else recommends a candidate to be the mayor of Hong Kong, we will do it on the spot.  It is decided that the Executive Yuan will issue an appointment order immediately and take office immediately!¡±

    Who is a fool? Even the British have come out to fight for the throne of the mayor of Hong Kong. It is because they are impatient. Isn't it the first time to confront the British? If the diplomatic relations with allies are damaged, then  But he is asking for trouble. Looking at Chairman Chiang's face and the tone of his words, he probably has murderous intentions in mind. The officials have mixed feelings in their hearts about who will touch this trouble. They are fighting over it and even tearing it apart.  Shameless, in the end, all the joy will be in vain. If I had known this, why bother!

    The farce staged by the Chongqing Government to compete for the mayor of Hong Kong ended quietly. The bosses of each faction quietly put away their trump cards, and the theme of the meeting became  How to reply to this diplomatic note from the British.

    This time, all the big guys said in unison: "Chairman, this is Tang Qiuli's conspiracy to blame the central government. The British diplomatic note was not submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through formal diplomatic channels. We  You can just not express your position and let Tang Qiuli negotiate with the British on his own. There is no need for the government to bear the risk for him! "

    There was no quarrel, no gunpowder, and the opinions of the officials were surprisingly unanimous. Finally, in the name of the government, a telegram was sent to Tang Qiuli, "Vice Chairman Tang Xunjian, regarding the British demands."  The plenary meeting of the National Government decided that the resumption of the exercise of Hong Kong's sovereignty would be handled by Vice Chairman Tang. As for the previous proposal to appoint a mayor of the Hong Kong government, it was revoked because it involved diplomatic relations with allies. Vice Chairman Tang can handle it as appropriate and does not need to report it.  The government!"

    After receiving the telegram from the government, Tang Qiuli slowly read it, shook his head, smiled, andThe sea breeze passed by and the telegram fell to the ground. It seemed that everything was as he expected.
