On that day, the British and the Japanese fought fiercely in Tianjin. The British did not suffer any loss due to the geographical location and garrison. However, they also believed that the money in HSBC Bank was stolen by the Japanese.

Since the British won the European War, many British people have become aware that although Britain has been in decline, they have never thought that the Japanese would dare to ride on them!

The British were immediately furious, fearing that they would be short of manpower in Tianjin. The British transferred all the manpower and sailors from Peiping. The British Far East Fleet immediately patrolled northern China.

The British Pacific Fleet, and the 3rd and 4th Cruiser Squadrons, which were conducting around-the-world training, immediately approached the Sea of ​​Japan. The British Straits Settlements intercepted all ships coming and going from Japan. This put great pressure on the Japanese government.

During the European War, the British Navy was further developed and strengthened due to the need to blockade and defeat the German High Seas Fleet. By the end of the war, the British Navy once again achieved a position that was far stronger than other naval powers, and was one of its main competitors.

The gap between them has also widened.

At the end of the war, the size of the British Navy was slightly smaller than before the war, but the quality and performance of the warships had been greatly improved. The British Navy had 42 new main warships, nearly half the number before the war. The United States Navy, which ranked second in the world at the time,

It only has 16 capital ships.

Although Britain at this time was no longer what it used to be, it was no longer the Britain after the Seven Years' War and the Napoleonic Wars. Due to financial difficulties, Britain had to announce in March of the eighth year of the Republic of China that it intended to give up the "

The two-power standard" was adopted, and the "one-power standard" was adopted to limit the U.S. Navy from surpassing the British.

Britain is a maritime power with a long history, ruling the world's oceans for more than two hundred years. Although Britain's maritime power declined during the World War, it was still the strongest force in the world until the end of the industrial mobilization of the United States.

, the U.S. Navy is also very different from the British Navy. The British fleet is the only one in the world that has the power to send troops all over the world. British forces and troops are present in major waters around the world. Although the British fleet is in the Far East

The maritime power of China and the Caribbean has fallen behind, but its overall strength and level are still No. 1 in the world.

The British are in a leading position in the world in anti-submarine, escort, transportation, supply, transportation, etc., far surpassing newcomers to the navy such as the United States and Japan. The British fleet can be seen everywhere in all oceans around the world.

Moreover, the overall combat effectiveness of Britain's main warships is no worse than that of the United States and Japan. In the 28th year of the Republic of China, the British fleet included 15 battleships, 7 aircraft carriers, 64 light and heavy cruisers, 119 destroyers, frigates, and submarines.

Minesweepers. In addition, the British Navy is building 5 aircraft carriers, 5 battleships, 23 cruisers, 52 destroyers, and a large number of warships. It is conceivable that once all the warships enter the sea, the British Navy will

How powerful it is.

If Britain, like Japan, devotes all its efforts to building a main battleship, then their main battleships will be at least three times that of Japan. Japan will not even be able to fight back in front of the British. Therefore, Japan faces the British fleet.

, completely incomparable to it.

The Japanese navy is not a red deer on the road, although I don’t know what the Japanese government negotiated with the British. The British Concession in Tianjin was completely unblocked after five days of complete blockade.

The two major Japanese talents in the British Concession in Tianjin were arrested on the second and third days respectively. I don’t know if the news is true. The gossip Wang Wenwu heard later said that the two responsible persons were being arrested.

He committed seppuku before being arrested.

The British did not capture a single person alive. In the remaining days, the British Concession was raked to pieces, and the money hidden by the Japanese was not found.

If it hadn't been for too long of a blockade, the entire British Concession, except for white people, would have been out of food. Maybe the British would have sealed the concession tightly. Now, even if the blockade is lifted, the road checkpoints are still not complete.

Everyone needs to be checked, especially Asians. As long as you have foreign currency on you, no matter how you explain it, you will be detained. The prison is already overcrowded. But even so, the British have no intention of stopping.

During the blockade period, Wang Wenwu was always dealt with by White Russian guards. Fortunately, Wang Wenwu was lucky enough to escape all searches because of the white face of the White Russian guards.

In the eyes of the British, this was done by the Japanese. Therefore, the focus of the search was on the Japanese and Chinese in the concession.

Many of Wang Wenwu's guards were injured, and many of them could not move at this time. Moreover, with such a large amount of money, the place where Wang Wenwu originally hid the money was too small. So Wang Wenwu took Preston back quietly.

I took a trip to Peiping to find a new place to hide money.

The robbery of HSBC was immediately known to everyone after the lockdown was lifted. You know, the front of the HSBC building was beaten to pieces. And it was about time the residents heard about it that night.

What's more, the British reaction was so big afterwards. Ministers from various countries were also investigating what happened in the British Concession that night? So it was not easy to hide it.

There are all kinds of ways to add insult to injury. After all, everyone is jealous of HSBC's business in the north. Now, such a big thing has happened to HSBC. This is something that no one has thought about.

In addition to strengthening their own security, various banks have also resorted to various blackmails against HSBC. Fortunately, HSBC has been operating in China for a long time. Its reputation is not so easy to lose. Coupled with the full support of the Bank of Japan, it is also surprising.

Got through it without any danger.

But now everyone knows that HSBC lost a lot of money. If someone goes to the bank with a large amount of cash to deposit money, isn't this just asking for trouble? You know, there are so many people in the British Concession now.

Little treasure hunter.

There are even a lot of people who fight over a specious piece of news. Of course, Wang Wenwu also contributed a lot. Only by muddying the water will Wang Wenwu, a little shrimp, not attract attention, right?

?

You know, it was Wang Wenwu who caused the beginning of the matter. At this time, Wang Wenwu wanted to draw everyone's attention away from Sun Gongguan. He wanted them to keep pursuing the path of Japan's two major talents.
