Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

At St. Martin's Hospital, Carter met Lan Shian. The guy's eyes were red and his body was covered in blood. It was unclear whether it was his own or someone else's.

Lan Shi'an stood guard at the door of the operating room and did not allow anyone to approach, even if Jimla brought a doctor.

Carter immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that Hu Zhenhua was in surgery meant that there was still hope. He looked at Lan Shian and asked,

"What happened?"

Lan Shi'an ignored him completely and just sat there in a daze. The guards around him were full of hostility towards Carter and his party.

Carter asked several times before Zhuge Lin said calmly,

"The foreigners treated us like slaves, shouting and clamoring for war and killing. The chairman was stabbed with a bayonet by them, almost piercing through him!"

Carter exclaimed,

"How can this be?"

This sentence angered Lan Shian. He stood up suddenly and kicked Carter.

Jimla reacted quickly and helped Carter block the kick, but he was knocked back two steps by the huge force.

"Lan, please calm down, Carter didn't mean anything else!"

Lan Shian's trick was resolved, and instead of being angry, he was happy and shouted,

"Great skills! Lan, I'd like to learn from you!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and threw a punch.

Jimla secretly groaned. In terms of skills, how could he compare to Lan Shian? From the kick just now, he knew that he was no match for Lan Shian.

Although Jimla knew he was no match for his opponent, he still accepted the challenge. It was a matter of man's dignity and he could not afford to be timid.

Jimla raised his fist to protect his head, and after taking Lan Shian's punch, he began to fight back.

It used Western boxing, a straight punch, hitting Lan Shian in the face.

The straight punch is the most basic and commonly used punch in Western boxing. It's delivered straight forward with the arm extended and the fist clenched. It packs a powerful punch and can effectively strike the opponent's head, chest, and other areas.

Westerners have the advantage in size. Lan Shi'an took advantage of Jimla's force and punched Jimla's fist, knocking it off the target. Then he swept across the opponent's lower body.

Jimla quickly retreated and dodged. He kept jumping to avoid Lan Shian's attacks, and hit the opponent from time to time.

Western boxing is a martial art based on boxing techniques, including straight punches, swinging punches, hooks, etc. These techniques are characterized by simple and direct movements, focusing on the use of power and speed.

The swing punch is a type of Western boxing technique that involves bending the arm and delivering an arcing punch from the side or above. The swing punch is powerful and can effectively strike the opponent's head, face, and other areas.

A hook is a Western boxing technique in which the arm is bent and the fist is delivered upward or downward from below. It is powerful and can effectively strike the opponent's jaw, abdomen, and other areas.

In addition to the three basic boxing styles of straight punch, swing punch and hook punch, Western boxing also includes some other techniques, such as jab, combination punches, etc.

Two minutes after the two sides came into contact, Lan Shi'an had already figured out the opponent's moves. He no longer held back and used his speed advantage to attack like a storm.

A series of attacks, such as chopping punch, piercing punch, collapsing punch, bouncing leg and kicking leg, combined with the footwork of moving forward, backward and following, are performed in a variety of ways, making the attacks flexible, changeable and unpredictable.

He used Tongbiquan.

Jimla was overwhelmed and gradually became exhausted.

His reaction was not slow either. Knowing that he could not beat the opponent, he immediately changed his strategy and adopted the method of exchanging life for life.

After being hit twice, Jimla also hit the opponent with a punch.

He suddenly realized that his idea was wrong. Lan Shian's fist was too heavy!

If this situation continues, I will be beaten to death.

Jimla changed his strategy again. He hugged Lan Shian and tried to win by brute force.

I have to say that his strategy was effective. In terms of strength, the two were equally matched.

One of them bent his legs while the other twisted his arm, both of them grimaced in pain.

This lasted for two minutes, and the two let go of each other amid the nurse's scolding.

Fighting can deepen the friendship between each other.

Lan Shian lay on the chair, threw a cigarette to Jimla, and handed another to Carter.

"Mr. Consul, I'm sorry for what I did. I shouldn't have attacked you! But I don't agree with what you said. The foreigners may be polite on the surface, but in reality, they don't treat us as human beings at all!"

The word "ghost" of course also included Carter and Jimla. Although they were unhappy, they did not dwell on such trivial matters.

Carter asked,

"So what happened?"

Zhuge Lin took over the conversation and explained the whole process in a concise manner.

Carter understood.

The last time Hu Zhenhua came to Hong Kong, he was very low-key. Apart from meeting with senior officials of the Governor's Office, he rarely made public appearances, so many staff members did not know him.

In this conflict, the white policeman treated Lao Hu as a fat sheep to be slaughtered, which resulted in tragedy.

Jimla was silent for a long time and then persuaded,

"Mr. Lan, do you think it's possible..."

Lan Shian didn't wait for him to finish his words and shouted in a decisive tone,

"No! If the chairman doesn't wake up, I will massacre this place!"

Carter's chest felt like it was hit by a huge hammer, and he asked nervously,

"How badly is Hu injured?"

Lan Shian waved his hand and handed over an X-ray film.

It can be clearly seen that a bayonet pierced Hu Zhenhua's abdomen!

Carter fell into the chair, he could imagine how dangerous the situation was.

Jimla pondered for a moment and continued to persuade,

"You are going against the government of a gentleman country. The consequences will be very serious!"

Lan Shian immediately retorted,

"If the chairman unfortunately passes away, do you think TA Group can still exist? Is there any consequence more serious than this?"

Jimla fell silent.

If what Lan Shian said really happens, at least the future of the industrial zone will be worrying. The United States has invested nearly 10 billion US dollars in that place.

You know, the United States' aid to Europe after the war was 125 billion US dollars, which is an entire continent!

The industrial zone is just a tiny area. It can be said that the place is paved with rice.

The loss of money was secondary. What worried Carter the most was the possible impact on his foreign policy in the Far East.

Zhuge Lin didn't wait for Carter to come to his senses and started to attack.

"Mr. Consul, I want to protest! Are we criminals? We are being treated so inhumanely! The consulate must seek justice for us!"

Carter felt a headache.

If you hadn't killed people here and shed a river of blood, the consulate would have used the most severe measures to punish those scums, but now, I feel a little lacking in confidence!

What's more, this is just your one-sided statement, not solid evidence.

Carter was afraid of angering Zhuge Lin, so after some consideration, he said,

"I will definitely protest, but before that, I have to find the person on the other side!"

Lan Shian snorted coldly.

"I'm afraid you can't get what you want, because they have gone to see God, no, they have gone to hell!"

Zhuge Lin was more tactful and explained,

"Mr. Carter, it's not that we're bloodthirsty, but the situation was extremely critical. If we didn't resist, we would all be dead! The riot here wasn't intentional on our part, but rather a genuine fight between the two sides, and we couldn't stop it even if we wanted to."

Lan Shian came back to his senses and immediately agreed,

"That's right, our brothers are all here. The gunfire outside is the citizens protesting against injustice! It has nothing to do with us. This shows that the Governor's Office is unpopular!"

This statement can only deceive ghosts!

Zhuge Lin nodded slightly.

"That's right. The United States is the embodiment of justice and freedom, and God's spokesperson on earth. We must take decisive measures to support the people here in their fight for freedom!"

Zhuge Lin suddenly thought of something and said in a low voice,

"The Red Army is pushing southward. According to our estimates, they will arrive here in two to three months at most. What will happen then?"

Carter fell silent. The other side has never been ambiguous about safeguarding national dignity and territorial integrity. Now, the US military is about to withdraw from Qingdao.

Hong Kong is a small country and cannot stop the Red Army at all.

It might be a good idea to follow the example of Chongming County and support a pro-American force.

Carter looked at Jimla and found that he was also moved, so he said,

"The Gentleman State is our ally."

The subtext of his words is: Please give us a reason that we can't refuse.

Seeing that the two were interested, Zhuge Lin immediately said,

"We're doing this for the greater good of the free world! The people here, long influenced by Western culture, will be more inclined towards us. If the people are the ones in charge here, then what reason would the Red Army have to attack? From another perspective, the more trouble the Gentlemen's Country encounters, the more they will need to rely on the United States!"

Jimla immediately raised his concerns.

"There are tens of thousands of troops stationed here. It won't be easy to capture!"

"As long as we provide the citizens with a batch of weapons, those young soldiers will definitely be driven into the sea!"

Among the garrisons of the Gentleman Country at this time, less than half were authentic gentleman soldiers, and the rest were soldiers from British colonies such as India. They were okay at maintaining order, but if they were to fight a tough battle, they would definitely be doomed!

Didn’t you see that after Xie Zhiyu broke through to the hinterland, those guys were trapped in the military camp and couldn’t move.

After some discussion with Jimla, Carter rejected Zhuge Lin's proposal.

They can wait and see, but they must not provide weapons.

The disappointment on Zhuge Lin's face was undisguised.

"Once the free world loses Hong Kong, it will be too late for you to regret!"

Carter didn't say anything either, just shook his head.
