Chapter Five Hundred: Infernal Affairs
"Oppose violence! Oppose the Chinese Empire to take back Hong Kong by robbers!"
"Oppose war! We need a peaceful home!"
"Oppose Su Dao! Support the British Empire to defend Hong Kong's sovereignty!"
On the streets of Hong Kong, thousands of people gathered, waving small colorful flags and pulling huge banners, and directly ran through the entire Hong Kong. They first passed through the most prosperous streets in Hong Kong, then went to factories, commercial areas, schools, residential areas and other places, and finally arrived at the Governor's Office to make a request.
Since the Opium War in 1841, the British have actually occupied this land. Although the Qing Dynasty had launched several wars to retake Hong Kong, it ended in failure and had to sign the Treaty of Nanjing with Britain in 1842 and ceded Hong Kong to Britain.
In 1862, Britain once again forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Beijing with it, and this time the British expanded the territory they occupied.
In 1898, the British still refused to give up and continued to use force to force the already strange Qing government, signing the "Opinion of Hong Kong Borders" and renting the entire Hong Kong for 99 years, ending on June 30, 1997.
It is June 1942. During the ups and downs, Hong Kong has been in the hands of the British for a hundred years. Many Hong Kong people are looking forward to returning to their motherland. Of course, many people have basically completely integrated into British society.
They even regarded Hong Kong as the territory of the British, and the people who ran to the streets at this time were the people who regarded themselves as British people.
Some of them think that the British are very strong and can give them a stable life. As for returning, that's not something they can manage, they just want to live a stable life.
Some of them have completely become the tyrants of the British. There are many such people everywhere. If you don’t talk about the British, the Chinese Empire alone has a lot of tyrants in Australia, Japan, North Korea and other places.
The people in Hong Kong looked at the crowds marching in the middle of the street. Some supported and supported them, but did not join the marching team. Some people kept shaking their heads. They cursed these traitors in their hearts. Of course, the majority of the people cursed were the ones, and some people were not concerned about their own affairs, so they did whatever they should do, and they didn't care about what they were doing.
At a corner next to the street, two middle-aged men sat in a street stall drinking morning tea and eating some breakfast, looking like an office worker. They watched the huge crowd passing by, but there was no sign of any statement.
"There are a lot more people today than yesterday."
A man ate a snack and muttered in a low voice.
"Well, I guess they won't stop. How are you doing there? Have you found anything?"
A man on the other side nodded and drank a tea ceremony.
"Not yet, but the general direction is there. The news came from Taiwan. The British bribed a lot of civilians there to act as spies, and arranged for Hong Kong tyrants to quietly cross the border when we were recruiting troops. Then they joined us from Guangdong. They didn't know where the files of these people were placed. But this time the news was probably released by these people."
The man who spoke before said in a low voice.
"Okay, you can continue to investigate and remember to pay attention to your own safety. I will report your situation to the above."
The man who was drinking tea nodded quietly and frowned tightly.
Not many people know about sending troops to Hong Kong. Except for the senior executives in Teran, only the commanders and brigade commanders of a division that will be dispatched in Taiwan know that the brigade commander had no idea what happened.
So if the news really came from Taiwan, then this time the incident would be a big deal. A spy actually became a brigade commander or division commander. This is the first time in the history of the Chinese Empire.
Although they had long been suspicious of this and had closely monitored everyone who knew the news, and even if they went to the toilet, they did not let them out of their sight. Everyone's behavior was normal and they strictly prepared according to the above orders, and they were all very serious.
This makes it difficult for their counter-espionage work to continue. Without obtaining files from Hong Kong, once the spy lurks, the chance of turning them out is basically zero. Attacking Hong Kong is imminent. If these traitors are not caught, there will be no accidents.
"When is the general attacker? My status is not high. When I was pursuing these, they have already doubted them. I need to know the specific time and arrange the next work."
The soldier asked in a low voice.
"I don't know either. Only Your Majesty himself knows the specific attack time. You can do your best. Once your identity is exposed, just find a safe place to hide it immediately."
The man who drank tea was shocked and felt a little suspicious.
His intelligence personnel have been closely trained and know what to ask and what not to ask. If the superiors do not take the initiative to say important information such as general attack time, the following will not ask at all.
Although his questioning method was clever and seemed to be mainly about work, it was this simple sentence that made him feel a little suspicious of this subordinate.
Afterwards, the two of them didn't say anything more, and then paid the money and left the stall. The younger young man went straight to the Hong Kong government. The older ones knocked on the door of a family after a long journey.
Half an hour later, he walked out of the yard and returned to his base directly. Everything that followed was settled. He didn't know where the problem was, but he basically understood it.
He also had a preliminary judgment in his mind. Now he has only waited for one result. Once it is determined, he can determine the specific time for attacking Hong Kong.
Although the Hong Kong people's class responded strongly, this does not hinder their plan to regain Hong Kong. Besides, do they need to pay attention to those bad-legged ideas?
"Director, it's confirmed that your guess is correct."
A man in black entered the house from outside, holding a letter in his hand.
"Hmph, I'm really blinded. I didn't realize he was a double-faced spy. Xiaowen, go and stare at Abe, don't let him discover it. After taking back Hong Kong, I'll see how I deal with him."
The man known as the director had anger on his face.
"Director, why don't you kill Abe directly? It's a critical moment now, so as to avoid long nights and dreams. And the letter has been confirmed, and Abe's identity as a double-faced spy has basically been confirmed."
Xiaowen whispered directly.
"No, it's useful to keep Abe. I can't touch him for the time being."
The director rejected Xiaowen's suggestion and continued to speak: "Hmph, Abe asked me about the general attack time today. Tomorrow you will tell him that the troops will log in at Tseung Kwan O in a week and ask him to arrange the subsequent work. We should pay attention to evidence when doing things. After we have grasped the actual evidence, we can see what else he has to make arguing about."
"Director, is this person reliable to write a letter?"
Awen continued to ask.
"Absolutely reliable. This person is one of our seniors. He was in charge of intelligence work when he was in Northeast China in the early years. After arriving in Hong Kong, we have never contacted him. Even on our side, only the Minister of Intelligence knew his identity."
The director nodded and said that Awen was his confidant and loved, and he had followed him for several years, so some issues were not shy away from him.
But please don’t underestimate the head of an intelligence leader. Being cautious is essential. If you are not careful, you may lead to the annihilation of the intelligence network.
Although Awen was his confidant, he still concealed him on some issues. Although the communication work with Awen was left to Awen to solve, the director tampered with this information. For example, the time for the troops' attack was not a week later, but in the early morning two days later.
The place where the landing is not Tseung Kwan O, and the specific landing is a place that no one can imagine, and there are as many as three landing sites. It can be said that once the troops successfully land, the recovery of Hong Kong will be half completed. This shows the importance of these three landing sites to this battle.
He was speechless all night. The next morning, Awen went out to contact Abe, and the director continued to coordinate the work of the entire Hong Kong. While there was no one in his hometown, the director sent the situation of the British military station that had been quietly inquired to Taiwan.
As the landing time gets closer, the director's energy has to be scattered in many aspects. In addition to controlling the overall situation, he also needs to observe whether the British army has begun to deploy troops to Tseung Kwan O.
The result was surprisingly that the British army did start to move towards Tseung Kwan O, and basically transferred half of the British army, and carried a lot of weapons and equipment. The British army seemed to know that this battle was crucial and intelligence work was also very important. Therefore, the British army was basically carried out at night, and the barracks were still the same as before, training and doing whatever they should do, giving people the appearance of the army still in the camp.
In fact, the British army who were still staying in the camp were only a small part, and most of them were composed of the army of Ah San who temporarily played the role of the British army.
"Director, it's not good. Abe disappeared."
Awen hurriedly entered the house and hurriedly reported.
"What's going on?"
The director asked anxiously that the time for Abe to disappear was so good. He only told him yesterday that the troops landed in a week and that the British army had also been mobilized, but now Abe suddenly disappeared. This undoubtedly confirmed his identity as a double-faced spy. After finding out the news, he couldn't wait to disappear, thus ensuring his personal safety.
"Abe told me in the afternoon that he found the files of British spies and stole some of them. When I went there in the evening, I didn't see Abe. The one who came to meet me turned out to be the British army. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been killed by them now."
