Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 1164 is ours, no one can take it away
Hong Kong, Hong Kong government!
The afternoon sun illuminates the conference room brightly.

A long table was filled with people of various hair colors and pupils.

Some are old and some are young, some have obvious hooked noses, and some have yellow faces.

These people wear suits and ties, and even have a civilized hat placed in front of the table!

They are the so-called Hong Kong gentlemen, the so-called Hong Kong government elites.

However, at this moment, no matter who it was, they all had a frown on their faces.

Dai Linzhi, who was the first son, had a serious face. His years of cultivation allowed him to hide his thoughts and put on a formal smile.

But the clenched fists under the table showed the anxiety inside!

Look around!

Everyone was silent!
He has made it clear in his speech just now, and he also understands that everyone needs time to digest this shocking news!

The great northern country is going to intervene in Xiangjiang affairs!
This is a heavy topic, and if it’s not done right, it could be a trigger.

Especially now!

Everyone did not dare to speak easily because they were not only concerned about their political future, but also their own wealth and life.

Of course, they care more about the latter than the former.

After all, the greatest sorrow in life is that you have money and status, but your life is gone.

Don't blame them for thinking this way, it's just that the pressure from the northern powers is too great.

A single red bear can make Europa unable to breathe.

Now, the red rabbit, who is also holding a mushroom egg, is equally difficult to mess with when he gets angry.

Everyone understands that Britain is still in the recovery period. Post-war reconstruction, the people's war-weariness, etc. all determine their strategic policy!

All in all, Britain could not withstand any war, not least because thousands of young men became corpses in every battle.

Not even more blood has been shed.

Especially against such a populous lunatic as the big northern country, we cannot provoke!

Cough cough cough.

While everyone was silently thinking about Dai Linzhi's intention, a fat old man sitting in the first position under Dai Lin was covering his mouth and coughing uncontrollably.

The constant coughing made the whole body tremble, and it was not until the phlegm in the throat was spit out that it felt much easier.

Then he quietly cleaned the corners of his mouth without squinting.

This scene immediately made several people nearby frown slightly.

The flu has been very severe recently, and they have all received news about the tragic situation of Japan.

Of course, the garrison soldiers who escaped from the Japanese base became a source of infection, not only causing disaster in Honolulu, but also infected people on the east coast of the Pacific.

They have received the above warning and taken preventive measures in advance.

But as a free port, how is it possible to completely eliminate it?

These people can only protect their own safety and stand at the bottom of the people. What does life and death have to do with them?
"Old William, if you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest."

Dai Linzhi asked with concern.

The old man named William nodded and apologized, then waved his hand, "I caught a cold during the party last night, it's nothing serious!"

"You know, the ladies here are so welcoming that the quilts on the beds aren't even big enough to cover them!"

Hahaha

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Here, they are the best.

How many people are willing to send their wives and daughters here just to curry favor with them.

In the eyes of those noble ladies, a spring breeze is a normal thing.

They understand this kind of communication deeply!
With Old William's interruption, the atmosphere in the conference room became lively, not as boring as before!

Dai Linzhi also smiled, looked at Old William and said apologetically, "Dear Sir William!"

"If it weren't for today's meeting, you should be on the plane back to Tianzhu!"

"I'm deeply sorry for that!"

Dai Linzhi smiled, and Old William smiled and nodded.

He is not a member of the Xiangjiang government, but came back from Honolulu for vacation and came to Xiangjiang to see his old friends!

I just didn’t expect that when I was about to leave, I encountered something like this!

"Dear friend, Tianzhu is much better than this. How long has it been since you returned to your hometown?"

Dai Linzhi showed a nostalgic look, "It's been three years, I don't know what happened to my red river!"

"Oh, the holy river is still the same, flowing endlessly, shining brightly for the crown jewel!"

Old William smiled, and Dai Linzhi also nodded!

Everyone talked for a while before returning the topic to the issue at hand.

"Dear Dai, as an outsider, I still want to make some suggestions here!"

"My distinguished guest, please speak, we are willing to listen."

Everyone smiled and nodded, wanting to hear about this gentleman from Tianzhu.

cough cough cough

Old William coughed twice again, and then looked at everyone with a serious expression!
"Gentlemen, gentlemen!"

"Right now, the international situation seems to be calm, but no one dares to say whether a third war will break out!"

Everyone's heart is tight!
"Everyone knows that the decision-makers in the northern countries are not as weak as before!"

"It is simply a fantasy to think that you can conquer them by just setting up a few artillery pieces!"

"Moreover, during this period, their relationship with the Red Alliance has tended to make amends. Especially when the alliance had food problems, they provided strong assistance."

"And in this regard, our allies are obviously more short-sighted. How ridiculous it is that several years of achievements are ruined in one day!"

Everyone understood what he was referring to, and many people showed sarcastic smiles.

The descendants of those bad-blooded robbers and thieves are always less discerning than the noble Anglos!

"So, we have to treat this incident with caution. It's best if we can't afford to pay attention to it from the top and try to keep it at the local level."

"This way, even if there is a problem, it will only be a local issue and has nothing to do with other politics."

Old William talked eloquently, and everyone kept nodding.

Dai Linzhi smiled even more after hearing this and loosened his palms because he had thought about it this way.After old William finished speaking, at the end of the table opposite, a middle-aged man with yellow skin and a mustache suddenly said, "Mr. Governor, I completely agree with Sir William's view."

"And, I think, that has become a stumbling block to the development of Hong Kong."

At this point, the middle-aged man's eyes became more ruthless, "Since the North wants to manage it, why should we refuse?"

“If it’s managed, it’ll be better for us!”

"Poor governance, haha..."

"Just take this opportunity to isolate it, use walls and fences to separate this smelly land."

"It will also cut off a piece of rotten flesh for the development of Xiangjiang!"

clap clap.

After Dai Linzhi heard this, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Li, your method is very good!"

"In this way, even if the people inside get into trouble and are resentful, it has nothing to do with us."

"They just resent the people who made their lives worse and worse, the people who stepped in to manage them."

"And that's what we want to see."

Everyone around Dai Linzhi nodded.

Conquering the mainland with islands has been their specialty for hundreds of years.

How many years have passed since the continent of Europa was in turmoil? Why were land powers such as France and Germany unable to unify Europe?
That's why they are doing things behind the scenes.

If the North as a whole uses its power to suppress others, they may shrink back and be full of worries, but here, in Hong Kong, in this new world that is changing with each passing day, do those mud-legged people who only know how to farm understand what finance is?
Do you know what prosperity is?
Here, they are home.

Everyone smiled.

In their view, in a country that is so poor that they can’t even afford enough clothes, and whose food is nothing but cornbread, what can they do to feed these people?
Only through contrast can the greatness of their Britain be revealed.

Only then can the people here see clearly who is their savior.

Who can lead them to live a good life.

"Since there are no objections, I will exercise the power of the governor."

Dai Linzhi looked around and asked everyone in a democratic manner.

cough…

Old William covered his mouth and smiled, "This is your right and it is sacred and inviolable."

The middle-aged man named Li crossed his arms over his chest and said, "I am willing to obey your orders!"

Dai Linzhi nodded silently, "As the Governor of Victoria Harbor, on behalf of the Hong Kong government, I agree to the other party's management in accordance with the content of the agreement."

".No visitor is allowed to carry weapons without permission. Once detected, they will be deported immediately."

"Any person must abide by Hong Kong's laws and regulations, and must not act arbitrarily or spread remarks that are not conducive to unity."

"We have the power to enforce the law. Once we determine that the other party has violated our laws, we will have the right to step in and implement the responsibilities conferred by the law."

As Dai Linzhi finished speaking, the reply to the northern power was formally formed.

"In that case, how about we send it out in two days?"

Everyone in the audience smiled, and old William even clapped his hands and smiled, "In this way, we can have another pleasant night."

Hahaha

……

Two days later, in the evening.

"Chief! The Xiangjiang government has responded."

In the room, the light illuminated the old man's books. After processing the documents one by one, they were neatly stacked aside!
Clear your desktop.

At the door, Secretary Tang held a document and whispered to read it.

The old man nodded and put down his pen. In front of him was a newly revised speech.

Every word used here needs to be carefully considered to avoid misunderstandings.

After taking the document, the old man just looked at the document specifications and smiled disdainfully, "It seems that the other party made the decision privately!"

"You don't even have a formal note. How arrogant!"

Secretary Tang nodded, "The other party's behavior just shows that they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

"Otherwise, you won't even dare to show your official name?"

"Yes!"

The old man nodded and read carefully, then closed the document, thought for a moment, remembered the previous arrangement, and then solemnly said, "Reply them like this!"

Secretary Tang immediately took out a pen and paper and prepared to record.

"We have always adhered to the principles of friendship, unity, and concern for people's livelihood, and respect your rights and interests!"

"We will manage our affairs with proper behavior, exercise our rights, and will not interfere in the management of Hong Kong affairs."

"But on the premise of being reasonable, compliant, and in compliance with international regulations, the other party must respect our human rights..."

"We can enter without any weapons, but the other party must ensure the safety of materials entering and exiting. Otherwise, we will take all measures to ensure the personal and property safety of our compatriots..."

The old man just gave a direction, Secretary Tang took notes carefully, and soon handed a polished document to the old man.

The old man took it and looked at it for a while, modified it in some places, and then nodded, "Send it to them on equal terms."

Tang Mi nodded his head south, and the old man put down his pen, then stood up and moved his hands and feet.

Outside the house, an old woman came in carrying a bowl of hot porridge.

"Drink it while it's hot. Your body is in good condition and you should pay attention to rest."

The old man smiled lovingly, "You don't know, these good things are the best medicine."

"Looking at them, it's like seeing factories rising from the ground and cars rushing forward. My heart naturally feels better."

The old woman smiled when she heard this, knowing that the situation in the country was good recently, and she was indeed in a good mood.

"Then you have to eat! People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat, how can you have energy?"

The old man smiled and took the flower bowl, "Yes, yes, madam is right."

Then he took a serious sip and put it aside. Then he picked up a file and said, "One day, I will take it back!"

The old woman nodded seriously, "Don't worry, as long as the revolutionary fire continues, it belongs to us and no one can take it away."

The old man smiled and nodded affirmatively.
