Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the financial world in Shanghai was suddenly wiped out and bankers were hung up on street lights, the remaining financial vultures in Hong Kong were, on the one hand, sad, shocked and angry, but on the other hand, they were secretly celebrating.  Secretly rejoicing - now there is one less competitor!

    Throughout the Republic of China, the most important international financial securities trading center in China and even the East has been Shanghai Beach, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River.  Compared with Hong Kong, which is remote in southern China, it seems to be an inconspicuous little follower.  The bankers in Hong Kong are somewhat embarrassed in front of the tycoons in Shanghai - no way, the market size of the Pearl River Basin is really incomparable with the huge Yangtze River Basin.

    Therefore, the fall of Shanghai and the bloody sea of ??corpses are of course a huge and traumatic loss for the entire imperialist forces in China.  But just for compradors and investors in Hong Kong, it is a wonderful development opportunity.

    Therefore, on the one hand, it is based on the extreme fear and hatred of the "violent" Bolsheviks in Shanghai; on the other hand, it is based on the beautiful longing for the great development of Hong Kong's financial business, and on the other hand, it is based on the hope that it can help it resist the Red Bandits and expand its business in Central China.  During the Chiang Kai-shek regime, Hong Kong's banking community showed unusual enthusiasm. As a result, Minister Kong Xiangxi, who was originally very uneasy and worried about gains and losses, was extremely surprised to find that this time the Hong Kong banking community seemed to be particularly easy to talk to.  The Wuhan National Government behind him just promised a bunch of bad checks and got a full 60 million Hong Kong dollars!  Allowed Chairman Chiang to continue the "War against He (He Jian)" in Hunan and the "Operation Suppression of Bandits" in the Dabie Mountains!

    On the other hand, just as Kong Xiangxi was overjoyed with the huge money order, Sir Humphrey, who had finished this intermediary task, came to the Hong Kong Government House with an invitation he had just received and talked to the Governor of Hong Kong.  Dinner with Sir Belu.

    Because it was just a small private gathering.  Therefore, although the dinner at the Government House is very elegant, it cannot be said to be very luxurious.  In addition to Cantonese dishes with local characteristics such as barbecued pork buns, tomato abalone, Teochew style marinated platter, and hibiscus shrimp, there is also pure British-style grilled fish and French fries, plus three-ripe tender veal steak, and mixed potatoes.  Assorted salad with puree and olive oil.  The drinks served with the meal are authentic British liqueurs.

    Chinese dishes are served in Chinese blue and white porcelain dishes, while Western dishes are served in exquisitely carved sterling silver vessels.  These are beautiful high-end tableware.  Coupled with the colorful and delicious food with rich and attractive aroma, under the illumination of the dendritic crystal chandelier, it reflects the soft luster, showing a luxurious temperament and graceful foundation, making people feel happy.

    ¡°Of course, these two senior civil servants of the British Empire.  The reason why we sit at the same table is definitely not just to enjoy the delicious food. The highlight of the dinner is to exchange some information and intelligence and discuss the current affairs in the East.

    " HSBC is really unexpectedly generous this time 60 million Hong Kong dollars! I bet. This military loan, together with several previous venture investments, will definitely be completely lost in the end. That Mr. Chiang Kai-shek  By then I will definitely not even get a penny out!¡±

    Sir Humphrey muttered to Mr. Governor while cutting the lamb chops on his plate.

    "I think that when HSBC agreed to provide financing to Mr. Jiang, it did not hope that he would be able to repay the loan, but that he would more completely hand over the government's financial power and, by the way, all the assets that could be mortgaged in his jurisdiction.  take it out."

    Sir Bei Lu, the Governor of Hong Kong, replied casually, "Moreover, Mr. Chiang has just achieved a major victory on the battlefield in Hunan. This has given his shaky little government a certain investment value againThe winner is always the winner."  He should be rewarded. What's more, we still need him to help fight against the Red elements - these Chinese Bolsheviks are growing as fast as the plague!"

    Sir Humphrey nodded slightly. After arriving in Hong Kong, he had already heard about this matter - just three days ago, the melee in Hunan, which lasted for about a month, finally settled.  Under the bombardment of the Kuomintang naval gunboats, Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops successfully annihilated the main force of the Hunan Army and then captured Changsha in one fell swoop.  Thus, the overall situation of Hunan Province was basically controlled.  Although He Jian led a small number of remnants to break through the encirclement and fled south to Hengyang in an attempt to continue to resist stubbornly, the entire war situation was obviously over. We just waited for when he would be able to accept the facts and power up and go to the field.

    Through this short war, Chiang Kai-shek finally expanded his actual status from "Mayor of Wuhan" to "Governor of Huguang". He barely had the capital to stand side by side with Wang Jingwei's authorities in Nanjing, and also won the favor of Hong Kong and British investors  But the problem is that while Xue Yue and He Jian were fighting to the death, the Red Army was advancing in Hunan Province.The army's strength also took the opportunity to surge - after receiving reinforcements from the Central Red Army, He Long's tribe marched eastward from western Hunan and captured almost all the land west of Changde in one fell swoop.  Xiang Ying commanded the remaining Jiangxi Red Army and advanced westward along the route of the Central Red Army. He first easily captured Ganzhou and then entered Hunan. He was about to cut off the Guangdong-Han Railway and block all communication lines between Guangdong and the north!

    Looking at the spreading red patches on the map, the British colonists in Hong Kong naturally felt anxious.  What's more, today's Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, under the urging of Shanghai, has adopted even more cruel and destructive policies against the financial and commercial outlets of imperialist forces in China - specifically, "kill all the people and steal the money."  Light, the account books are burned up!¡±  Wherever the Red Army attacks, the imperialist forces will be uprooted Although it has only suffered losses in some less important small and medium-sized cities at the moment, this dangerous momentum must be stopped as soon as possible!

    "I understand that in order to prevent the empire's many years of operations in the East from being in vain, we must provide help to Chiang Kai-shek so that he can protect the empire's interests in Chinaat least to contain the Bolshevik forces and let them  I can¡¯t bear the thought of going south to peek at Hong Kong"

    Having said this, Humphrey couldn't help but sigh, "the Japanese bayonets are obviously unreliable!"

    "Yes, in the past two months, Britain's tolerance for this group of oriental dwarfs has reached its maximum! But as for the tasks assigned to them by Britain, the Japanese have no intention of fulfilling them! Thirty thousand Japanese troops  It has been a month since we entered Nanjing, but we have not launched even a tentative attack on the Bolshevik bandits entrenched in Shanghai! We have not even moved our troops to the front lines around Shanghai!"

    Mr. Hong Kong Governor took a long sip of wine in a depressed mood, "On the contrary, in northern China where there was no Bolshevik activity at all, the Japanese army fought one battle after another and wiped out about 100,000 Chinese ** troops. Since then,  The ceasefire line at the beginning of the year has advanced a full 500 kilometers southward!

    Moreover, they seem to have plans to continue attacking southward and further seize the entire Shandong Province!  Our Minister Cadogan negotiated several times with the Japanese commanders in Nanjing to urge them to start war against the Chinese Bolsheviks in Shanghai as soon as possible.  But this group of Japanese dwarfs made a lot of nonsense, claiming that the time to attack Shanghai was not yet mature and they needed to wait for a few weeks to a few more months.  But in exchange.  They are happy to go west to suppress the Chinese Bolsheviks in the Dabie Mountains, hoping that Britain can provide more support I wonder how the Japanese brains grow?  !  "

    "I can understand this. If there are no visible and tangible benefits, the Japanese will generally not move. But it is not the habit of the Japanese to refuse cleanly. So when encountering this kind of situation,  Sometimes, Japanese people often come up with some perfunctory methods that they think are the best of both worlds, but in fact they do not consider the other party's feelings at all. In the end, they often only end up making both parties unhappy, and they are not human beings inside and outside"

    Sir Humphrey also raised his glass and took a sip of wine, "it was better in the early years, but in recent years, the self-righteousness in the Japanese people's minds has begun to become more and more serious.  It's serious, and it's even reached the point where it's difficult to communicate normally"

    ¡ª¡ªIn fact, the Japanese government in the 21st century is in the midst of the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  It's almost the same performance.  As a result, Iraqis and Afghans generally believe that Japan is also a hateful invader, while Americans are also not very grateful to the Japanese

    "Yes, in order to urge these lazy and unreasonable Japanese to act as soon as possible, we have to have the fleet set off from the Manila anchorage in advance, and go to Shanghai with the French and American fleets, and at the same time demonstrate to the Japanese and Bolsheviks  ." The Hong Kong Governor continued.

    "I've heard about this too." Sir Humphrey, who was about to go to Wuhan to take office, raised his eyebrows, "but as far as I knowthe Royal Far East Task Force's battle in the Shanghai area seems to be going on.  Did it go very badly?"

    "The bombardment of Wusong Fortress went smoothly, but the ground combat was miserable - the landing force was completely wiped out, and we lost two battalions. The French lost three battalions. Plus a destroyer and several gunboats  and minesweepers, and a light cruiser that suffered heavy damage.

    Those cunning Bolsheviks used airships hanging high in the sky as observation posts to guide ground troops to fire rockets at our warships - God knows how they shot the rockets so far and so accurately!  Although our army tried using seaplanes to drive away these nasty airships, no aircraft was able to break through the enemy's fire network, and they were all shot down by Bolshevik anti-aircraft machine guns and rockets.  And the United StatesThe human aircraft carrier is still in Ningbo Therefore, the fleet is currently separated from the battle line, just waiting to join the American fleet, and then go to Sasebo to settle accounts with the Japanese.  "

    Mr. Hong Kong Governor shrugged his shoulders, "How the battle is going in Shanghai is actually none of my business. But the only thing that makes me sad is that the two battalions our army lost at the Yangtze Estuary landing site were originally  "For the troops stationed in Hong Kong, Hong Kong's defense is almost empty now than ever before."

    ps: Alas, Ukraine¡¯s current ¡°public intellectual¡± government really has no limits to its cuteness, and its cuteness index is off the charts.

    The first is the K Facebook recruitment mentioned last time. Although most of the able-bodied men said they were not at home, more than 10,000 people still applied for the draft. It is said that they are mainly college students and unemployed young people, who were in the square a few days ago.  The group of people who cosplayed "Medieval Total War" - This is understandable, but if they regarded the war with the Russian army as the previous gang fight in the square they would probably die miserably.

    Secondly, in just a few days, the new Ukrainian government has made all the unbelievable and unthinkable tricks to kill people. It is sitting on the crater of the volcano, but it still counterattacks without hesitation: forcing the "Golden Eagle" special forces to  Kneel down in public in the square.  Apologizing to the thugs who had been ordered to suppress the previous days, this most elite force was so angry that they dragged their guns and fled to join the Russian army; when the enemy was at hand, they announced that they would cut the salaries of the internal affairs troops and police. As a result, these armed forces  Defection - Putin declared that he was willing to give them a new job; he re-appointed eighteen governors in one day to place his cronies, making the local officials who were fired resentful and rebellious; he canceled the official status of the Russian language.  Anyone with dual nationality will be sentenced to ten years in prison, so the people in the eastern Russian-speaking areas will go to jail if they don't rebel Does it feel like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's Dazexiang Uprising?

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that the new Ukrainian government accepted all the harsh conditions of the International Monetary Fund and ¡°helplessly¡± sold off a large number of state-owned assets at low prices - forcing the army to rebel, the police to rebel, the police to local officials, and the government to rebel.  The local officials forced the people again.  To force the common people to rebel and then declare, "I have no choice but to betray my country" He is really an unprecedented and superb master of committing suicide!  As a result, the former commander of the Ukrainian Navy surrendered to Russia the next day as soon as he received his appointment.  The next commander was put under house arrest by the Russian army. It was said that pro-Russian armed men were watching him when he went to the toilet.

    Faced with such a critical situation.  The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine's interim government solemnly stated on k (Facebook) that in order to curb the trend of large numbers of police defections, he has come up with practical and effective countermeasures - that is, preemptively firing 90% of unreliable police officers!  As long as you fire the police officers in advance, you won't be afraid of police defections Just like unfollowing people online in advance, you won't be afraid of them blacklisting you!

    It seems that this group of public politicians are indeed the elite of "Facebook governance". I guess everyone in the government meeting uses a tablet to chat in a group!

    One point of view on this is: the group of people who came to power are compradors and are accustomed to relying on foreign countries to respect themselves. Of course, they will discriminate against and despise the armed forces of their own nation.

    The neo-Nazi organization in Ukraine is also funny. Two days ago, they were clamoring to kill all Arabs and Jews in Kiev, and they have not stopped their anti-Semitic actions and harassment of "infidels".  At the same time, he turned to the Chechen guerrillas for help, hoping that they would "fight for faith and freedom together" with him. I couldn't help but imagine this picture in my mind: on the smoky streets of Kiev, someone was being beaten and tortured by the Nazis.  The humiliated Arab woman in black robe miserably hugged the leg of a certain Chechen guerrilla fighter, begging him to save her for the sake of God, and then was kicked away by the Chechen guerrilla fighter, "Get out! We  Now we are fighting for the God of Ukraine!¡±¡­That would probably be a masterpiece!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????¡ªIf I wrote this in my novel, some readers would probably yell at me right away: Did all of these villains eat brain fragments?  Where has your rationality gone?  I didn¡¯t expect that what happened in the real world would be even more absurd than my absurd novel!

    Um.  It seems that when I write novels in the future, I need to make the character of a politician more idiotic.

    Next, the Cossack groups along the Don River declared their allegiance to Moscow. Cossacks from all over the country are gathering in Crimea and Kharkov to form a volunteer army, preparing to teach the Lviv gang a lesson with their ancestral Chasik scimitar.  Polish peasantswell, when the authentic Poles come from Warsaw again, they can stage another "Fire and Sword".  I just don¡¯t know if there are any Polish feather cavalry left today?

    Finally, as a counterattack against the large-scale entry of Russian troops and the seizure of Ukrainian military bases, Kiev¡¯s politicians organized a group of soldiers who were suspected of having schizophrenia and asked them to carryThey carried the Soviet red flag with a hammer and sword, sang unknown songs, and without any weapons, tried to take the base back from the Russian army. The specific tactics were that the choir happily crowded into a pile at the entrance of the base.  While setting up digital cameras and tablets, they shouted: "You are being filmed! The video files will be uploaded to the Internet soon! The United States is supporting us!"

    Alas, while carrying the sickle-and-hammer flag of the Soviet Union and shouting "America gives me strength," I thought to myself: The red flag of the Soviet Union, the Apple Computer of the United States of America, and both poles of the world are blessing us.  The next step must be magical body protection, invulnerability It's not even that embarrassing!  Do you think street revolution is a universal model?  Can you be a little more serious? You are at war!

    ¡ª¡ªThe result of this "special operation" was that a group of strong men wearing civilian clothes and without weapons walked out of the base, stood in a row at the door, and glared at these chirping teases with fierce eyes.  , many Ukrainian soldiers immediately pissed themselves off and fled in confusion.

    ¡ª¡ªThe Soviet Union and China are indeed lifelong good teachers and helpful friends. Even after his death, he did not forget to educate China with all kinds of strange and bizarre ways of death: Russia told us what will happen after privatization and oligarchs run rampant across the country; Belarus and  Kazakhstan has demonstrated the consequences of political rigidity and lifelong leadership of leaders; even if those public intellectuals, big Vs, loudmouths, freedom fighters, industry consciences, and street politicians come to power, what kind of chaotic situation will there be? Ukraine also has  I pinched my nose and tried it again to show the Chinese people

    In the past, Ukraine had an inspirational masterpiece "How the Steel Was Tempered", and now it seems that it can write a "How the Iron Was Tempered".
