Chapter 1180: 'Buy' Hong Kong!
Chairman Li hurriedly looked at Luo Qinghu, and Luo Qinghu smiled, with a posture that you guess, but you can't guess if you want to break your scalp. Huo Ranwen ???.? r?a?n?? e?n?`org
"Captain Lu, Master Tiger, don't sell it, just say it...... I just can't think of it! Chairman Lee smiled bitterly.
"The head of the regiment sent me to Hong Kong, in addition to purchasing materials to seek assistance, the main task is Hong Kong!" Luo Qinghu said with a smile.
"Hong Kong? What Hong Kong? ”
Chairman Li frowned slightly, then stood up and said, "Head Lu, you don't want to attack Hong Kong, right?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Hong Kong has been my Chinese territory since ancient times, can't I fight its idea?" ”
"Of course, I know that Hong Kong has been the territory of our country since ancient times, but now, Hong Kong is in the hands of the British......
Chairman Lee smiled bitterly: "We are already in a state of collapse just by fighting the Japanese now, and if we add a British Empire, the consequences will be really ...... It's hard not to destroy the country......"
In 1842, after the Opium War, the British government and the Qing government signed the Treaty of Nanjing, ceding Hong Kong.
Fourteen years later, in 1856, the British and French forces launched the Second Opium War, and then in 1860 the Treaty of Peking, which ceded Kowloon to the south.
In 18 years, after the Sino-Japanese War, Britain forced the Qing government to sign a special agreement to expand the boundaries of Hong Kong, forcibly leasing more than 230 large and small islands north of Boundary Street and south of the Shenzhen River on the Kowloon Peninsula and near the vicinity, that is, the later New Territories, for a period of 99 years.
In this way, the entire area of Hong Kong fell into the hands of the British and became a colony.
Of course, Lu Yuan remembered the history of these humiliations.
And Chairman Lee also remembered.
Now the domestic confrontation against the Japanese army has been extremely difficult, and if a powerful British Empire is added, the consequences are really unimaginable.
"President Lee, you're too worried!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "I'm not so stupid, I won't be stupid enough to lead troops to occupy Hong Kong from the British, even if I want to, it is definitely not at this time!" ”
"Then I'm relieved......"
Chairman Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Then besides, does Head Lu have any other way to plot against Hong Kong?" ”
"Under normal circumstances, of course not!"
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "But if there is a large-scale war on the European continent, then our opportunity will come!" ”
Japan is now very powerful, and although this war is almost on the verge of bringing them down, we have to admit that their strength is still super-first-class in the world.
And Britain is an old empire, and it dare not be underestimated at any time.
In other words, the British did not dare to provoke the Japanese easily, and the Japanese would never dare to provoke the British easily.
But if a large-scale war breaks out in the European theater, then Britain must bear the brunt and will definitely be drawn into the flames of war.
And Hong Kong is the main channel for both the government army and the Eighth Route to seek international aid and purchase international anti-Japanese war materials!
When the British were covered, the Japanese did not dare to touch Hong Kong, even if they hated Hong Kong.
But once the war breaks out between Europe and the United States, the British will only be busy with the war at their doorstep, and Hong Kong, a small land, will simply not be able to take care of it!
How could the Japanese let go of Hong Kong, the only port where all kinds of supplies were continuously transported into the country?
"Even if the Japanese occupy Hong Kong by then......"
Chairman Li said: "But the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment of the Commander of the Lu Regiment wants to attack Hong Kong's attention, I am afraid that the Japanese will concentrate their forces against you, although your Sichuan Army Independent Regiment is indeed strong enough, but if you want to gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong, I am afraid it will be difficult......
"I never said I wanted to occupy Hong Kong!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.
Hong Kong is a small place, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there is no precipitous terrain among them, once the troops enter it, it will be simply trapped to death, and he will never be so stupid.
"That ......"
Chairman Li looked at Lu Yuan, speechless for a long time, and said in his heart that you want Hong Kong, and you don't want to send troops to occupy it, so how can you get Hong Kong?
"Buy!"
Lu Yuan said with a strange smile.
"Buy?"
Chairman Lee couldn't believe his ears, Hong Kong's geographical conditions are so superior, no matter who can see that it is a big piece of fat, how can it be bought so easily?
"Of course I know that Hong Kong is a treasure land, that is, a big piece of fat meat, whoever eats it in his mouth, I'm afraid he won't spit it out easily!"
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "However, if the British are entangled in war, and the Japanese army has put on a posture of occupying Hong Kong by force, I think it should be understandable that the British will exchange the land that may be lost at any time into a sum of money in their pockets, right?" ”
Chairman Lee's eyes lit up!
If that's the case, then Lu Yuan's plan is indeed feasible, and he can be sure that the price will be very, very low at that time!
But what if the price is low? That's a whole Hong Kong, with the surrounding islands, covering an area of more than 1,100 square kilometers!
How much money is needed to 'buy' it?
"Chairman Lee, you're wrong again!"
Lu Yuan smiled: "I didn't say that I want to buy all of Hong Kong, I just want his core area, such as a part of Kowloon, part of the New Territories, plus Lantau Island and other largest islands!" ”
"Huh?"
Chairman Li couldn't figure it out, and stammered and asked: "Head Lu, buying and selling plots of land, of course, must be pieced into pieces, so that it can be easy to develop, what is the use of a piece of east and west like you?" ”
"Hahaha, of course it works!"
Lu Yuan opened a map of Hong Kong brought back by Luo Qinghu, circled the plots he was going to buy on it, and said with a smile: "President Li, you see, if we buy these places, although they look scattered and not at all, we will also cut Hong Kong into pieces!" ”
"yes......"
Chairman Lee glanced at the map and was immediately excited!
He is a patriotic expatriate, but he is also a businessman, and he has an extremely keen sense of smell for businesses that can make money.
These plots of land that are ready to be bought look like nothing in normal times, especially when the Japanese army is preparing to attack Hong Kong, and the British men in Hong Kong can't hold it and see that there are fools coming to take over and are ready to take a handful and leave.
But if the situation stabilizes and Hong Kong prepares for all-round development, these plots will be strangled by Hong Kong's throat!
"The Japanese army will inevitably be defeated, that's for sure!"
Lu Yuan said: "Once Hitler and Mussolini start the war, the Soviet Union, Britain, France, the United States, etc., will never sit idly by and form an alliance to fight together, so that sooner or later, the British will be the final winner...... (To be continued. )
