Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 451 Fighting Committee

Whether it was out of duty or his ambition to develop the New Territories, Bai Liji had to fight with the New Territories villagers to determine a winner and loser, and then negotiate.

That night.

Two o'clock in the morning.

The fire brigade of Kowloon and New Territories districts and the Joint Operations Department operated throughout the night and blocked six major entrances and exits in advance.

The next day.

nine in the morning.

The civilian regiments formed by the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions were officially organized. Each group sent a platoon of troops and began to approach the checkpoint. Between 9:30 and 11am, armed conflict broke out between the two sides. There were a total of six checkpoints. More than a thousand people participated in the battle.

at noon.

The Federation of Trade Unions captured four major passes, killing 32 people and injuring more than 100 people.

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 of "anti-British and anti-riot", the villagers enthusiastically supported it, and the power of the people was fully unleashed. With the clan system management, one hundred The number of multiple casualties is completely acceptable.

Since then, the New Territories has entered a semi-military blockade.

As chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, Yang Guang convened the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions Council, united many auxiliary forces, and formally established the "National Struggle Committee", referred to as the "Struggle Committee". The Federation of Trade Unions was further upgraded to a paramilitary organization. In addition to the heads of the top ten clans serving as members, many well-known members of the auxiliary faction in Hong Kong have joined the Struggle Committee as members.

Mr. Chu Weinan, the former honorary president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, also joined the struggle committee to provide basic living supplies such as grain, oil, rice and noodles to the New Territories villagers.

Coupled with the fact that there were many newspaper and media figures among the supporters of the Struggle Committee, many trade union leaflets were quickly spread to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, and unrest began to spread.

"The conflict broke out so quickly."

Chao Fu Restaurant.

He Dingxian invited Lei Luo, Jiang Zuhui, Chen Li and others to drink tea together. Sitting in the teahouse, he saw that the crowd on the street was much smaller.

"A storm is coming."

Chen Li sighed.

"There are now rumors in Hong Kong that the New Territories are supported by the North. They plan to return to autonomy first, and then completely take back all of Hong Kong by the end of the year." Lei Luo looked at Brother Xian with a probing look in his eyes, and asked: "True or false of."

"How would I know?"

He Dingxian smiled calmly.

I would say that there is no support from the north behind the Struggle Committee. Firstly, the Struggle Committee does very good political work. Secondly, the Struggle Committee has sufficient manpower and is very organized. It is not like ordinary organizations. Thirdly, people from the New Territories Without contacting the North, how dare you 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 he cannot handle this drama alone. Everyone is actively involved in the storm for their own benefit.

He just sees things the clearest and brightest, 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 overthinking, according to his judgment, there were indeed people in his hometown who supported the New Territories to play for real, but it was not red, but cyan.

Because the method of play used by the Struggle Committee is not orthodox great-power doctrine, but rather seems like a powerful official seeking credit, hoping to gain political capital through the New Territories. Therefore, the June 7th Incident in history was a huge commotion, which lasted for nearly a year and did not stop until the big boss said something.

In the eyes of senior officials, now is actually not the time to take back the New Territories or Hong Kong Island. Powerful ministers only want to take credit for the present, and the bosses naturally have more structure.

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

"That's good."

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

This time the matter is too big, turbulent, and impressive. Food prices have already started to rise. It is impossible for anyone to stay away from the matter and have to be nervous.

"Azai."

"Let Hai Bo put some grain out to stabilize the market price, and don't make the poor unable to afford food." He Dingxian raised his cup to drink tea, and Lardboy bowed and agreed: "I'm going to make a call now."

"O's, anti-gangsters, and military uniforms of all departments must be stable. They can go out on missions, but no shots are allowed 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 will not 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 of the New Territories fell into the hands of militia groups, and the New Territories entered a state of control. In the Governor's Mansion, Bai Liji was wearing a suit and tie. He stood in front of a phone and bowed: "Hello, sir."

"Mr. Bai, Downing Street is aware of the turbulent situation and is currently negotiating with the North. However, the North has always insisted that Hong Kong Island belongs to its territory in accordance with the unified propaganda caliber."

"Due to the international image, it can only be classified as an internal incident at this time, and the Hong Kong government needs to go all out to solve it." Harold's voice was hoarse and he said in a heavy tone: "After Nanyang, we came to Hong Kong Island."

"The Federation can lose Nanyang, but it cannot lose Hong Kong Island again. Please let the last ray of the sun never set shine on Hong Kong."

Bai Liji puffed up his chest and shouted loudly: "Sir, please rest assured, I will not disappoint the Queen and ensure that the Federation is the last port in East Asia."

Britain's influence in Europe and the United States has weakened. If it could control the Asian shipping lines and exploit third world countries, life would be much easier. Unfortunately, it is destined to be a fantasy.

"I grant you all decision-making powers except mobilizing the garrison, and restore security in the New Territories as quickly as possible. If you need anything, call me." Harold said: "As long as Downing Street and the royal family can agree, I will never refuse."

"The Queen has prepared the medal of a hereditary baron for you."

Bai Liji felt passionate after hearing this, and he already wanted to die for the Federation. He gritted his teeth and said: "Within one month, take back the New Territory and calm the turmoil!"

Harold felt much better, but then he felt sorry for Bailiji. In fact, after Ge Hongliang laid the foundation, Bailiji had the opportunity to lead Hong Kong Island to achieve an economic take-off. Judging from the development reports of the past three years, Look, Hong Kong Island is growing at a very impressive rate.

If this incident had not happened, Bai Liji would probably have been a governor who was supported by the citizens, left a good reputation, and received courtesy in his retirement. But Hong Kong Island is a powder keg, too far from Great Britain and too close to the mainland.

Bai Liji is now sitting on a powder keg, and if he is not careful, he may be blown up and his body will be wiped out. Of course, this is also the responsibility of the governor himself. The more chaotic the situation, the more personal abilities can be demonstrated. If not, what price would there be for a hereditary baron?

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Downing Street hung up.

Bai Liji breathed out, turned around and opened the door. He saw Kunxian and Jiade standing at the door, standing at attention, saluting, and shouted: "Hello, sir!"

"explain!"

Bai Liji invited them in, but he had no more emotions left. After uttering a word, he picked up the coffee cup and drank himself.

Jiade: "Sir, the intelligence officer of Luohu Port reported that a group of suspicious persons broke through the port in the afternoon. The Military Intelligence Department tracked them, arrested five people on the spot, and seized two boxes of medicine. It was confirmed that they were medical personnel who came to help, and they have been transferred to Victoria Prison. "

"Let him go."

Bai Liji became very decisive: "Medical personnel are for humanitarian relief and should not be imprisoned without authorization. They should be released and repatriated immediately, and they are prohibited from entering the country within ten years."

"yes!"

Jiade opened his mouth to agree, then looked embarrassed and said: "Sir, several informants placed by the Military Intelligence Agency in the New Territories were found out and held a confession meeting. The clans in the New Territories are so powerful that any outsider in a village can be recognized at a glance. .”

"I bought several informants with money. As the organization upgraded and the struggle committee was established, I no longer received news. Now the New Territories not only lost control, but also lost the source of intelligence."

Bai Liji had expected it and said easily: "The New Territories is such a big place, and the garrison controls the border ports. Military intelligence can be seen through actions. Other intelligence is public, so the Military Intelligence Department does not have to make unnecessary sacrifices. .”

It is harder to sneak a spy under the nose of the clan system than to enter Buckingham Palace and steal underwear.

As Bai Liji turned his attention to Kunxian, Police Commissioner Kunxian straightened his back and said solemnly: "At noon, the police ordered the Kowloon District Criminal Division and O to go to the New Territories to recapture the road card. A total of 300 troops were dispatched. Twenty police officers.”

"After the police arrived in Luqa, less than 30 rounds of gunfire were exchanged within two hours."

Jiade frowned: "A drill?"

Kun Xian said again: "The Chinese police officers in Hong Kong Island have been subject to political propaganda in the New Territories. They have serious anti-war ideas and are filled with compromise."

"Then don't let Chinese police officers take over." Bai Liji knew in his heart that while the police force hired Chinese people to facilitate the management of Chinese people, it was also destined to no longer be a tool to suppress Chinese people. If Chinese police officers are forced to fight, the risk of military mutiny will be extremely high, and then it will not be a problem in the New Territories.

"Let the Chinese police officers continue to maintain law and order and mobilize the explosion-proof response team!" While expanding the police force, Bai Liji focused on allocating funds to the explosion-proof response team. There are currently 250 members, each of whom uses militarized equipment. .

The operational personnel are evenly divided between British and Chinese. Most of the commanders are British, and a few inspectors or two are Chinese.

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

"Yes, sir!"

Kunxian stood at attention and saluted, opened his mouth and said: "Should we discuss with the local commander whether we can mobilize some Chinese police officers to invade the New Territories? After all, the manpower of the explosion response team is small."

"No need for now, we'll talk about it later." In Bai Liji's mind, the police officers of He Dingxian's group were not subordinates at all, but mercenaries, and using them to fight would cost a sky-high price. Use the power that can be used now first, wait until the situation is sorted out, and then ask them to finish the work. It is much more cost-effective economically.

"yes!"

Kunxian stood at attention, saw the Governor waving, turned and left the office, immediately drove back to the police station, and issued an order: "Order, the explosion response team goes to the New Territories, recaptures the main roads, and re-opens the connection between the Hong Kong government and the New Territories."

"Beep beep beep!"

The chief inspector blew the whistle.

Building D, Tai Kwun.

The police officers, neatly dressed and armed, sat on the bench and immediately got up and ran to the training ground to assemble. More than 200 police officers reported by name, boarded vehicles and dispatched, with well-trained movements, like a majestic army.
