July 28, 1940.

The shadow of the "Asik Island Incident" is still hovering over the heads of China and Britain, and the "Hong Kong Incident" broke out!

The Hong Kong issue has also been a stone on Wang Hengyue's heart, and in the years when the concession issue was resolved, the Chinese government led by Wang Hengyue tried to negotiate on the Hong Kong issue, but the British refused.

At that time, China was not so strong, and many problems could not get rid of the influence of European and American powers, so Wang Hengyue could only temporarily give up the idea of solving the Hong Kong issue.

But only temporarily.

Now, with the outbreak of world war and the deterioration of Sino-British relations, it has become possible to solve the Hong Kong problem and recover Hong Kong.

Wang Hengyue decided not to wait any longer.

As China's national power has grown, calls for the Chinese government to immediately reclaim Hong Kong have also risen in Hong Kong. After the outbreak of the "Asik Island Incident", a wave of protests on Hong Kong Island also began rapidly.

On July 28, a large march broke out in Hong Kong. A large number of workers, citizens, and students took to the streets to demand that the Chinese government take stronger action to uphold national dignity and demand that the British return Hong Kong.

The British colonial authorities would certainly not allow such a thing to happen. Military police took to the streets. While maintaining order, the military and police also received a special order not to take any action against the demonstrators except in exceptional circumstances.

The colonial authorities in Hong Kong were also worried about the "actions" taken during the demonstration, which would once again anger the Chinese government.

After all, Hong Kong is just too close to China. According to the information received, more than three squadrons of divisions and at least one lightly armed brigade of tank units have been deployed in Guangdong and other places, and the Chinese have great intentions to seize Hong Kong by force.

With the current British forces in Hong Kong, it is difficult to withstand the attack of the squadron.

But the development of events completely exceeded the imagination of the Hong Kong colonial authorities, and the disaster still happened.

At first, the march was orderly, but with the presence of the military and police, the procession began to stir up, and the marchers began to chant the slogans "British, get out of Hong Kong" and "Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong".

The slogans are becoming more and more fierce and more radical. The situation is starting to get a little out of hand.

The military police remembered the repeated instructions and tried to control them at first, but soon some people began to turn their attention to the police. //

At first, they were sensible and just shouted slogans at the police, but this scene did not last long, and soon someone threw debris at the police.

The scene quickly spiraled out of control.

More and more people are joining the confrontation with the police, and bricks are flying and wooden sticks are flying. More than 10 minutes later, the police, who seemed to have received orders from above, also joined the crackdown

It's messed up, it's completely messed up. ̈

The scuffle began on July 28

A large number of demonstrators were arrested, and many police officers were injured in the attack. At night, the riots continued, and the demonstrators even used Molotov cocktails.

At 8:00 a.m. on the 29th, Chinese Premier Wang Qinglu sterly warned the British authorities in Hong Kong to ensure the personal safety of the patriotic people who marched, and that the Chinese government would have to consider sending troops to maintain the security and stability of Hong Kong if the safety of the patriotic people in Hong Kong could not be guaranteed.

The threat of war? War threatened!

In the eyes of the British authorities, this is the most naked threat of war by the Chinese government! After the "Asik Island incident" another real provocation of war.

Hong Kong is a place that the British government is absolutely unwilling to give up!

The British authorities quickly ordered Governor Yang Muqi that the whole of Hong Kong must be prepared for war in response to the "invasion" of the Chinese, and that the destructive demonstrations and riots in Hong Kong should be "resolutely and quickly suppressed"! …,

Yang Muqi, who received an order from the British government, abandoned all illusions!

The Great Crackdown began

July 29 was a dark day in Hong Kong's history. The police, the military, showed up in the streets, and at the same time made arrests, they began to shoot at all the targets they thought might pose a threat.

In just one day, more than 200 Hong Kong people were shot and killed, known as the "July 29 Massacre".

The massacre did not extinguish the Hong Kong people's resistance, but instead provoked an even greater wave of resistance among the Hong Kong people. At this time, calls for the Chinese government to send troops to Hong Kong immediately are also getting louder.

Some Hong Kong people ran to the areas controlled by the squadrons in Guangdong and Shenzhen, and with tears in their eyes, they controlled the brutality of the British, and begged the Chinese government to send troops to drive out the British and restore peace in Hong Kong.

But the garrison did not receive orders from the Ministry of Defense, and listening to the fierce gunfire, they could not do anything.

In the 29th year of the Republic of China, at 5:30 a.m. on July 30, 1940, Nanjing.

The parliamentarians were summoned in the early hours of the morning, and in their memory, the last time the Diet was convened so early in the morning, for the purpose of fighting against Japan and recovering the country, was there any special circumstance happening today?

At 5:40, Wang Hengyue, president of the Republic of China, appeared in the Congress.

As soon as the president appears, it means that something big is going to happen.

"Peace is dead." Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, what Wang Hengyue said caused a commotion among the congressmen, and Wang Hengyue calmly waited for the venue to be quiet and then continued:

"Yes, peace is over! After the Asik Island incident, the British once again wanted to impose war on us! Parliamentarians, just a few hours ago, I received an urgent telegram from the Guangdong Provincial Government, in which they told me the sad news that the British authorities in Hong Kong had launched a frenzied and brutal massacre against our patriotic marchers! By the time of the National Assembly, more than 200 Chinese had fallen under the guns of the army and police."

An exclamation of surprise sounded in the mouths of the parliamentarians, and Wang Hengyue said heavily: "I suggest that at this time of grief, all stand up and pay a minute of silence to the victims!" ”

All the councillors stood up, stood up straight, and bowed their heads silently.

"Please be seated." After the silence ended, Wang Hengyue's voice was low: "More than 200 lives have been lost, the blood of more than 200 patriots has stained the land of Hong Kong, and the corpses of more than 200 Chinese are looking at us!" They are asking us, what will the government do? Will the government let their blood go to waste? Will the government let them die in vain? No, never! When our fellow citizens are slaughtered, if we do nothing, we are no longer qualified to sit in this position! ”

His voice suddenly raised: "What is Hong Kong?" That's our land! It always has been! When Hong Kong was ceded by the Manchu government, I was looking at it all the time! In the past, many of us had illusions of peace and hoped for a peaceful solution to the Hong Kong problem, but now these illusions can be abandoned! We have repeatedly warned the British authorities in Hong Kong that if our citizens are massacred, we will not hesitate to retaliate. But the British government turned a deaf ear, and they took our kindness and forbearance as cowardice! They see our peace efforts as a retreat from the incompetent! It's time for them to know what angry artillery fire is! Whoever slaughters our people is our enemy! Whoever acts recklessly on our land will be dealt the most severe blow to us! ”

"Destroy them! Destroy them! A bespectacled MP suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Destroy them! Destroy them! All the councillors shouted.

"Destroy them! Destroy them! Wang Hengyue waved his arm vigorously: "Peace is over, war has come!" I, the President of the Republic of China, Wang Hengyue, now implore all members of Parliament to pass the War Bill, we must send troops to Hong Kong, we must recover every inch of our land, and anyone who is entrenched in front of us will become our enemy! We have the ability to win this war, and we must win this war too! ”…,

Unhindered, driven by endless anger and high-pitched nationalist sentiments, Congress unanimously passed the war bill.

Peace is dead! War is coming! Now, there is no force that can stop China's huge war machine from kicking in!

If you need war, I'll give you war! If you want to see blood, I'll let you see it! You don't need peace, I'll bury it completely!

"I'm going to show you the most exciting moments coming!" When he learned the results of the congressional vote, Wang Hengyue regained his calm and calm:

"The British will also see that our army can defeat the Russians, it can defeat the Japanese, it can defeat the British and the French! Our army will enter Hong Kong and reclaim this land, but our war is not limited to Hong Kong! In any land that we consider to be threatened, the squadron will wage any war without informing any country, and victory will be ours! ”

"Hooray! Banzai!! Long live Victory!! The parliamentarians shouted loudly.

From this moment on, China entered a state of war; From this moment on, China officially intervened in the world war; From this moment on, the whole world will hear China's roar.

Asia will tremble, the world will tremble! This is the day that Wang Hengyue has been waiting for for a long time, and this day has finally arrived. The track of the world order will continue according to China's design.

Peace is dead, war is coming!
