Chapter 623 The purpose of the Hong Kong Governor

After a long silence, Grantham suddenly showed a smile, looked at Fang Lang and laughed loudly:

"It seems that General Fang understands him. He is indeed not optimistic about that plan. In his view, Hong Kong City is fundamentally different from other colonies and cannot be confused at all. It is even more unreasonable to choose to be independent like other colonies.

and autonomy, which will not solve the problems of the port city.

On the contrary, it will create a powerful enemy for the British Empire and Hong Kong City, and even Hong Kong City will have no chance of independence."

Fang Lang smiled, put a mouthful of food into his mouth, and continued to speak unhurriedly:

"Since Mr. Governor knew it well, why didn't he pass on that idea? Don't you know that the plan is dangerous?"

"Haha... General Fang asked Minghong. He is the colonial governor of the British Empire. He is responsible for the British royal family. Some things cannot be decided by him alone. He must obtain the approval of the superiors before he can decide.

Implement.”

Grantham smiled bitterly and placed his elbows on the dining table, while crossing his legs and fingers and clasping them in front of him.

Fang Lang looked at Grantham in front of him and murmured in his heart, what's going on? The relationship between him and himself is not that good! That's a bit superficial!

Bu Nao, since the wrong party has expressed his difficulties so frankly, Fang Lang certainly can't turn a deaf ear, and then smiled and said:

"Then I wonder how Governor-General Gongdong views the problem of Hong Kong City?"

Hearing Fang Lang's question, Governor Grantham's clasped legs unconsciously exerted force. He looked at Fang Lang across the way who was still slowly eating sumptuous food. His lips were slightly opened, as if he was gently

After taking a breath, he slowly said:

"He believes that Hong Kong City is different from other colonies. Whether it has a lease agreement or not, it is not a simple colony, but a concession. In the past, it must have been resolved through diplomatic means."

That statement made Fang Lang look sideways. He looked at Grantham in disbelief and said:

"Then, is the Governor-General willing to start negotiations on the Hong Kong City issue and the differences?"

"Then it means that his private views do not represent the attitude of the British government. Just like the general's opinion that the enemy will not use force against Hong Kong now, they are not private views."

Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but show a knowing smile, and said pointedly:

"It seems that the views of Governor Ge Dong and Zaidong are quite similar!"

Mistaken by Fang Lang's eyes, Grantham couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile and said:

"As early as when General Ge Dong boldly expressed his wrong view on the future of Hong Kong City, he had already discovered this. He will not have the opportunity until tomorrow to discuss it alone with General Ge Dong."

"Does the governor-general have any intention?"

Fang Lang vaguely guessed Grantham's intention and couldn't help but test it out.

"General Ge Dong said that you can come forward and talk to the wrong person. I don't know if this is true."

That time Fang Lang didn't answer directly, but after thinking carefully for a while, Fang Lang slowly said:

"Does he mean that he can send a message to the wrong side through some friends? If both of us have the will for peace, he is very willing to contribute to peace."

It's true that Fang Lang didn't want to bring the two parties together to meet and negotiate, but after living in Hong Kong City for that period of time, he discovered that the situation in Hong Kong City was far more complicated than he imagined.

For example, he had never heard of the "Yang Maqi Plan" mentioned earlier in his previous life. Although that plan has not been successful now, part of it has already begun to be implemented in Hong Kong City.

In fact, Hong Kong City has already set up a parliament that is largely elected by the people at the guidance of that plan, with the intention of cultivating the democratic consciousness of Hong Kong City and preparing for the future independence of Hong Kong City.

Once the British government's plan to go east is implemented, it will definitely cause a strong backlash from my hometown.

More importantly, Fang Lang discovered that there was a loophole in the plan that could easily be caught by his hometown. That is, there was a group of people in the democratically elected parliament who spread the ideas of his hometown. It can be seen that the plan had already caused a stir.

Attention from home.

The reason why Grantham did not agree with that plan was that he was unaware of the risks involved in that plan.

If I had stood up at that time and directly expressed my willingness to help both parties negotiate, it might have disrupted my hometown's plans.

In addition, he discovered that the British government has not completely severed diplomatic relations with his hometown. The two sides have actually maintained diplomatic ties. If they really wanted to express their peaceful wishes to Hong Kong City, there was no need for him to convey it.

Therefore, he was very suspicious of Grantham's suggestion to contact his hometown. He suspected that there was a connection between himself and his hometown, and wanted to grab some clues.

That forced him to remain vigilant enough.

His answer obviously disappointed Grantham. He slowly relaxed his legs in front of him and sighed slightly dejectedly:

"Forget it, the current issue of the port city is no longer up to him to decide. The Colonial Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are already communicating with him. If he gets involved again at that time, Coco will

Counterproductive.”

Looking at Grantham's expression, Fang Lang was a little unsure for a moment as to what the wrong person meant. One moment he told himself that he wanted to talk to the wrong person, and the next he said that he was not suitable to get involved.

Could it be that his ideas are inconsistent with those of the people currently responsible for negotiating with his hometown?

"Hongdu Gedong, as the governor of Hong Kong City, I should be the person who knows the situation best in Hong Kong City! At the same time, your opinions should also be the most valued!

He thinks that if you really want to maintain the peace of Hong Kong City, you should take the initiative to express your thoughts to the superiors. That is not my duty, isn't it?"

"You are right. He also knows very well what he should do. In fact, he is working hard on it, but now it seems very difficult.

If according to his prediction, the current direction of Hong Kong City will definitely return to the embrace of the wrong side, the only thing they can do is delay that time.

But that is obviously not what we are willing to see. If they were destined to be unable to control Hong Kong City in the past, we would rather promote the independence of Hong Kong City than give it to Hong Kong easily."

Grantham's words were very candid. His views seemed very advanced for that period and were infinitely close to the reality proven by history.

As the current governor of Hong Kong City, if he really has such a clear understanding, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to the future of the entire Hong Kong City, which means that they will not deny a colony that is destined to be lost and face the problem.

Fight to death!

His statement made Fang Lang's eyes narrow. In order to further confirm the wrong party's attitude, Fang Lang couldn't help but confirm again:

"Do you mean that the port city will be taken back by the wrong side sooner or later?"

Faced with Fang Lang's repeated temptations, Granthhong did not choose to evade, but said directly and frankly:

"No, he thinks that would deny the future of Hong Kong City!"

Such an attitude completely confused Fang Lang, and he was completely unable to understand the purpose of Ge Lianghong. If he was not British, and the wrong party told him like that, could it be considered a frank exchange of opinions.

But he is a Brazilian, and he is not a Chinese. Moreover, his relationship with him is definitely not close enough to be said to be unreasonable. This makes Fang Lang have great doubts about his purpose, and he can't help it.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Dongdu Pavilion, he doesn't know how to be red, why do you want to talk to him about that!"

Seeing Fang Lang's puzzled expression, Grantham finally showed a hint of a faint smile, facing Fang Lang's probing eyes and said seriously:

"Because he thinks that I, like him, hope that Hong Kong City can be peaceful!"

Fang Lang looked at Fang Fang's meaningful smile. He did not directly admit or deny it, but shrugged and said:

"He feels that he is not the only person who hopes for peace in Hong Kong City, but all the people in Hong Kong City hope for peace. Why does the Governor-General want to ask for peace and say that to him?"

Although Fang Lang had been avoiding Grantham's words, Grantham was not angry. He picked up the wine glass by his leg with a smile, took a sip gently and said:

"Because, during that period of tense situation, all businessmen were shrinking their industries, and even a lot of funds were trying to escape. General Fang was constantly increasing investment in the wrong port city.

Even now, I am asking to build my own private museum in the port city! Doesn’t that explain the problem?”

Dongfang Lang really didn't know how to refute. After all, when he met with several group company leaders in those days, he told everyone not to restrain their legs because of the current tense situation in the port city.

Otherwise, we should take advantage of this opportunity to acquire a number of high-quality industries at low prices from companies that have given up high-quality assets.

Now it seems that the wrong party may have discovered his wrong view of the situation in Hong Kong City from the recent actions of his group company.

In times of tension, companies that are willing to invest money and continue to be optimistic about the development of Hong Kong City naturally firmly believe that a war will not break out in Hong Kong City.

Seeing the determined expression on Grantham's face, Fang Lang didn't know what to say for a moment. He asked if he was really optimistic about the long-term development of Hong Kong City. That was not wrong.

But in the short term, is Hong Kong City really suitable for development? In fact, this is not the case. I want to know whether the confinement period in Hong Kong City was not easy during the Peninsular War.

Because the port city is close to his hometown and there are many smuggling businesses between the two sides, the entire port city has been added to the blockade list by the Americans, and the economy of the port city has also been severely hit.

Therefore, although Fang Lang begged the company behind him to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire high-quality assets at low prices, he also emphasized that he did not want to rush the process as the whole process could be completed in four years.

That order puzzled many people in charge of the company, but everyone obeyed Fang Lang's order and began to look for valuable high-quality assets, and took the initiative to start negotiations with the wrong party.

Now it seems that the actions of the group company have caused some misjudgments in Grantham. He thinks that they are now seeking to expand investment in the port city.

But the actual situation is different. Just start asking for prices now. Real negotiations or acquisitions will take a long time.

Of course, those Eastern and Western waves will not talk to Grantham, and they can just make mistakes:

"He is indeed very optimistic about the future of Hong Kong City. He has never denied that. From the moment he set foot in Hong Kong City, he has been emphasizing that point.

In those two days, he did have some doubts about whether the harbor city could truly be at peace. He even had the idea of ​​whether he could lead the fleet to escape in time.

But no, the words of Governor Gedong tomorrow made him realize that the person in charge of Hong Kong City kept a clear head. He believed that with the existence of such a clear-headed leader, the future of Hong Kong City would not change. And he

A wavering heart naturally seeks stability.

If there is anything Mr. Governor needs his help with, please feel free to ask, and he will definitely not refuse within the scope of his ability."

Grantham was shocked when he heard Fang Lang say that he had considered taking away three warships of the Brazilian Navy. That was not good news.

Although he also wants to seek a peaceful solution to the port city problem, who can guarantee that there will not be any risk of war! Once a war does break out, maybe the three warships of the Brazilian Navy will not play a big role, but the Brazilian Navy’s participation in the war will

Political corruption is not something the British are willing to lose.

In addition, it was originally agreed that the Brazilian Navy would visit the port city for a month, but now it has only been about a week. If the Brazilian Navy is allowed to leave early, the outside world may have questions about the wrong thing.

That is also not what Grantham does not want to see.

Fortunately, that incident did not happen, and after he talked with the other party tomorrow, the other party seemed to be more confident in the peaceful settlement of the Hong Kong City issue, which made him let out a long sigh.

"Haha...Thank you to Jiangjunge Dongcuo for his trust! I also want to thank Jiangjunge Dongcuo for his optimism about the future of Port City!

If General Pavilion Master is willing, he really needs your help on something!"

When Fang Lang heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the guy would not say those words to an unfamiliar person like him for no reason.

Therefore, he deliberately offered to help the wrong party because he wanted to test the wrong party's true purpose. Now the wrong party was really following suit, which made him couldn't help but his eyes flashed and his mind was spinning.

"Haha... Governor General, please rest assured that Mr. Fang will never refuse where he can help. But please also ask Governor General Minghong to ask whether he, a Brazilian Chinese, can do anything that is beyond his capabilities."

There is nothing we can do.”

Unfortunately, Fang Lang's words were obviously evasive. Grantham surprisingly did not show any anger, but continued to look at Fang Lang with a smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said slowly and unhurriedly:

"Don't worry, General Fang! They are friends, and he will never let his friends do anything embarrassing. That matter will be easy for General Fang."

Seeing the nonchalant appearance of the wrong party, Fang Lang couldn't help but become more curious, wishing he could immediately find out what the wrong party was asking him to do for help!

However, the years of training in high positions abroad in Brazil made him clearly focused on the pursuit of values ​​and values, and he also clearly understood that the seemingly simple things are often the most complicated.

This allowed him to suppress his eagerness and prevent him from falling into the trap of the wrong party due to his impulse. After taking a deep breath, Fang Lang slowly picked up the wine glass on his lap and gestured to Grantham.

Yidongdao:

"Dongdu Pavilion, since I consider him a friend, then please tell me what you have to say!"
