Chapter 774 To Be the Governor of Hong Kong?
Washington.
the office of the president.
After Li Zitao left, the atmosphere did not decrease, but became more dignified.
How to do it is a matter for the Roosevelt administration. Li Zitao can only "add fuel and vinegar," and being too active seems to have ulterior motives.
Germany's annexation of Austria has become a fact.
This incident caused a great sensation internationally, Britain, France, and the United States lodged a 'protest' against this, and this shameful drama finally came to an end.
Only the Soviet Union showed its true feelings, strongly condemning the German NC's aggression, and suggested holding an international conference to discuss collectively dealing with Hitler's aggression.
Unfortunately, it encountered a group of actors who were completely unwilling to cooperate with its performance.
At this point, the Soviet Union lost confidence in the League of Nations and began to secretly contact the little man.
Everyone is thinking about it, holding the mentality that it has nothing to do with themselves, and there will always be a time when they regret it, and this day will not be long.
…………
Far East, southern China.
In Luohu, the Japanese army stationed 80,000 troops, and the grim situation was imminent.
After the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, most of North China and East China had been fully occupied by Japan, and the eastern coast also fell under the control of the Japanese army.
The coastal area of South China has become an important stronghold for China to import various resources from other places. The Japanese army will definitely cut off this important supply line.
Gangjiang was also actively preparing for the war. The British authorities clearly realized that they would eventually have a battle with the Japanese army on the land of the Far East.
Judging from the mobilization of the Japanese army, this war may be in the near future.
Li Zitao didn't know that this incident had something to do with him. The Thomson D1 and D2 that appeared on the battlefield in East China threatened the Japanese army.
The Japanese army tried their best to trace the source of these weapons flowing into China, and finally determined that they were transported to Luohu via Gangjiang River and then to various places.
Therefore, the Japanese army accelerated its military deployment to South China, and wanted to cut off this "secret military" supply line as quickly as possible.
…………
early may.
Li Zitao, who was an otaku in the United States, had to get out of his "dwelling house" and take a secret boat from New York to London.
Visiting Buckingham Palace again, Li Zitao did not feel strange at all.
It's just that its owner has changed three times in just a few years, and now it's the 'introverted' stuttering majesty who lives in this palace that represents the highest honor of the British Empire.
"Check, check Charlie, welcome, welcome... Arrive, Arrive, Platinum..." Hearing George VI's more serious stuttering, Li Zitao couldn't help complaining, but he had to show a respectful smile on his face, Keep your shoulders slightly forward in respect.
How can I say that he, the Marquis, was also conferred by the Windsor Dynasty, and disrespecting the royal family is not a denial of his own title.
"Your Highness, I wish you good health. Your Royal Highness, your beauty is just like yesterday." Li Zitao nodded his greetings to the two.
"Sit down, Charlie, just call me Elizabeth, we are a family." Elizabeth, who has been promoted to queen, invited him to take a seat with a light smile.
In the same reception room, on the front wall, the huge portraits have been replaced by George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
I don't know where the new king threw his father's portrait, maybe it was put in the warehouse to collect ashes!
As for why the two took the initiative to invite him to Buckingham Palace this time, Li Zitao has no idea yet.
Since the previous filth happened, the two sides had very little contact. When George V's soul returned to God, Li Zitao was useless.
Mary and her mother, His Excellency the Grand Duke, came to London to pay their condolences.
However, after today's meeting, the two of them never talked about this matter, and Li Zitao will not be boring himself.
"Check, check, Lee..." Listening to George VI was very difficult, and in the time he said a sentence, others were able to deliver a speech.
But Li Zitao still had to listen carefully to what he said, and pondered over where he had doubts, so as to figure out what his stumbling pronunciation was expressing.
After 40 minutes, Li Zitao finally figured out his intention,
The new His Majesty the King wants him to be the governor of Hong Kong.
This was really beyond Li Zitao's expectations. He had thought of countless possibilities, but he did not expect this.
Governor?
He holds an American ID, enjoys a British title, and is a Chinese whose ancestry is in the Far East. He went to the British Chinese colony to be the governor of Hong Kong.
Well...
Whoever came up with this idea, stand up, and your human head will be beaten into a pig's head.
However, although he knew that his own situation would be very troublesome if he was involved, Li Zitao was still tempted.
If he is the governor of Hong Kong and Jiang, many troublesome things before will become easier.
"Why do you want me to be the governor of Hong Kong?" Li Zitao looked at George VI in surprise.
Perhaps this His Royal Highness also knew that it was too troublesome for him to speak, so he turned his eyes to his wife, Elizabeth, and asked her to convey his thoughts on her behalf.
"As a family member, Charlie, I want to tell you the truth." Elizabeth glanced at her husband, took a deep breath and said, "We want your S.H.I.E.L.D. to resist the Japanese army across the Hong Kong River."
ha?
This fucking is looking for cannon fodder, that's why I thought of him?
Li Zitao was almost laughed out of anger, wishful thinking made a sound of 'bang bang', why is he so smart?
"Albert and I know this is difficult, but the previous promise was not hypocritical, you will get the rights that the Governor of Hong Kong should have,
During your stay in Hong Kong, you can form your own government, as long as it does not violate the interests of the United Kingdom, Charlie, don't forget that you are the noble Marquess of the British Empire. "
"Where's the Hong Kong British Army?" Li Zitao didn't rush to answer.
"It's up to you to transfer." Elizabeth affirmed.
"Fleet?" When it comes to soldiers, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not in vain, and the Air Force has skunks, so he doesn't worry about it. The worst thing is that he spends money out of his own pocket!
The fleet can't do it. Without the cooperation of the fleet, the Japanese fleet can blow up the Hong Kong River into ruins, and the Aegis special guards can't handle it even if the bullets can turn.
"The Japanese army will not send a fleet to Hong Kong, the loss outweighs the gain, and Japan will not give up other battlefields for a Hong Kong,
The government will send two regiments from Canada to Hong Kong to assist you in your work. Your task is to defend against the Japanese attack for as long as possible. "
"Is there a map?" Hearing Li Zitao's words, the royal steward who was guarding the door brought a map and was well prepared.
Looking at the sesame-sized Gangjiang, Li Zitao rubbed his temples with a headache.
The task of defending Hong Kong and Jiang is almost impossible.
I didn't look at the George VI couple and just said, defend the Japanese attack for as long as possible.
Now that the War of the Kingdom of China is at a disadvantage, once South China falls into the hands of the Japanese army, the Gangjiang River will be surrounded by enemy groups. How can the Hong Kong River be defended?
They asked him to be the governor of Hong Kong. Once Hong Kong fell, Li Zitao would be captured by the Japanese army. Haven't they thought about this problem?
After being captured, what will happen? Has King George VI seriously considered it, or is this one of their goals?
In addition, Li Zitao became the governor of Hong Kong. For his own safety, he will definitely mobilize a lot of resources to protect Hong Kong and prevent it from falling.
With the power in his hands, he will definitely be able to contain and consume the vital forces of the Japanese army, making the Japanese army unable to open up new battlefields. It is really a big game of chess.
