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

Alande was forced into a corner. He was like a cooked duck and could only talk tough!

The combat effectiveness of the garrison can only be described in one sentence: nothing!

What frightened Aland even more was Carter's attitude.

If there is no American presence here, he would never believe it even if he is beaten to death.

Seeing Guo Da Chong's stubbornness, Alande turned his gaze to Carter, who quickly said,

"I'm only the Consul of the Magic City. I'm here only to investigate Chairman Hu Zhenhua's injuries. As for other matters, please talk to Mr. Cullen, the Consul of Hong Kong."

Allies are allies, and interests are interests.

You must fight when it’s time to fight!

Another reason why Carter was unwilling to intervene was that this was not his jurisdiction.

The knife struck by Guo Dachong just now made Carter see the determination of the top management of TA Group. If something really went wrong with Hu Zhenhua, then Guo Dachong would be his successor. Now, Carter had to stand on the same front with him to ensure that the policy of the industrial zone would not undergo a major shift.

It is better to provide timely help than to add icing on the cake!

Alande turned his gaze to Jimla again, who said calmly without waiting for him to speak.

"An ordinary American citizen walking down the street was beaten with batons and then stabbed with a bayonet by police. I can't help but ask: What kind of security environment is this?"

Alande roared with anger in his chest,

"That's just your one-sided account. The police enforce the law in a civilized manner! Even if there are bad apples, they are just individual cases!"

Zhuge Lin immediately said sarcastically,

"How could such a case happen to us by chance? It seems we can only consider ourselves unlucky!"

Alande had no idea what was happening at the time, so he was seriously lacking in confidence when he spoke. A good politician must know how to avoid the important issues. He pointed at Guo Dachong,

"Mr. Guo, you just stabbed Hull with a bayonet. How do you explain this?"

Guo Dachong said indifferently with a blank expression,

"You can catch me, if you can."

Alande was furious.

The entire police system has completely collapsed, and the garrison is powerless. It can be said that the Governor's Office has become a tiger with its claws plucked, leaving only an empty shell.

How to arrest someone?

Just when the three parties were in a stalemate, the traitor Xu Daguo ran out and shouted,

"The operation is over, the chairman is out of danger for now!"

Everyone was overjoyed and rushed to the operating room.

Hu Zhenhua was hanging an IV drip and had an oxygen tube in his nose. His face was bruised and swollen, and he looked badly beaten.

Carter wanted to get closer, but was stopped by the nurse.

"The patient is very frail and cannot be disturbed at all."

Jimla pulled the doctor aside and asked him many questions to determine the extent of Hu Zhenhua's injuries.

Seeing Zhuge Lin's calm eyes, Guo Dachong became suspicious. After Hu Zhenhua was settled in the intensive care unit, he pulled Zhuge aside and asked in a low voice,

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Seeing that no one was around, Zhuge Lin said in a low voice,

"This is a big drama, the chairman only suffered minor injuries!"

Guo Dachong: &%

"How is that possible? When those two foreign doctors were answering Jimla's questions, they said the small intestine, the liver, and other organs were damaged. Did you bribe them?"

Zhuge Lin shook his head slightly.

"No, it was a ploy to replace someone else. The guy who performed the surgery was a bully, and we actually stabbed him! To prevent the doctor from recognizing him, didn't you see that his face was swollen and smeared with blood?"

Guo Dachong: &%

"What if that bully dies? How are you going to proceed with your play?"

"There's more than one bully who was stabbed, there must be one who can be saved!"

Guo Dachong: &%

"Why is there no trace of blood on Zhenhua's face?"

"The whole play was played out, the chairman was bled!"

Guo Da Chong kicked Zhuge Lin's butt. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed someone coming from behind and changed his words.

"How the hell did you protect the chairman?!"

Zhuge Lin was terrified and quickly admitted his mistake.

It was Carter, he whispered,

"Mr. Guo, Cullen is here and brought a videotape. Let's go watch it together."

Guo Dachong slapped Zhuge Lin on the back of the head and said viciously,

"I'll deal with you later!"

Zhuge Lin was dissatisfied and retorted in a low voice,

"Boss Guo, I'm an assistant, not a bodyguard. You should punish Lan Shian. He said Mi and Ying are one family, and as long as we tell him our nationality, there will be no problem! It was his misjudgment!"

Guo Da Chong raised his arm and threatened,

"You think you're right? There were so many people, but only the chairman got stabbed."

"We have other brothers who were stabbed!"

"Stop the bullshit and keep an eye on the chairman. If anything goes wrong again, I'll give you a slap in the face!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

……

In the small conference room on the third floor of St. Martin's Hospital, Alande's face was so gloomy that water could be squeezed out of it.

The video recorded the entire process of Hu Zhenhua and his team from being beaten to fighting back.

It can be said that Lao Hu is completely right!

The fire in Carter's heart burned fiercely.

After being beaten, Lan Shian shouted "We are Americans, we are Americans", and the police beat him even more fiercely.

This scene made Carter, Cullen and Jimla very angry.

Guo Da Chong slammed the table and stood up, shouting,

"Alande, how can you be so barbaric? TA's company has made outstanding contributions to local economic development, yet our chairman has been subjected to inhumane abuse by you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nurse from the hospital pushed the door open and whispered,

"Gentlemen, Mr. Hull was seriously injured and died despite rescue efforts!"

She was a Christian and made the sign of the cross on her chest.

Guo Dachong's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, and he waved his hands.

"Got it. Thank you!"

Alande clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles crackled.

Guo Dachong attacked the top leaders in public, which was absolutely intolerable in the Gentleman Country, but now that the videotape incident had happened, Alande had no choice but to compromise.

He decided to take this opportunity to deal with TA company first.

"When it comes to barbarity, Mr. Guo, you're no less! According to the law, murder means death!"

Guo Dachong lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Jimla's eyes were fixed on the film, and the scene of Hu Zhenhua being stabbed with a bayonet was blocked by someone.

Jimla could only judge the location and depth of Hu Zhenhua's wound by the length and height of the bayonet.

The preliminary judgment is that it is indeed as the doctor said.

After a long time, Guo Dachong made a decision.

"The Governor's Office can arrest me anytime they want. However, you must give me a satisfactory explanation regarding the Chairman's matter, or I will release this videotape to the public!"

Carter naturally couldn't let Guo Dachong get into trouble, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to Hu Zhenhua, so he said firmly,

"Mr. Alander, I will report this matter truthfully to my superiors. It is unimaginable that the safety of life and property of citizens of the United States cannot be guaranteed!"

Alande was shocked.

No matter what, they are in the wrong in this matter. If the video is released, it will cause a huge blow to the image of the Governor's Office and the country of gentlemen. Everyone will think that Hong Kong is a barbaric place where life is not guaranteed at all. Who will come here to invest in the future?

Alande calmed down and said,

"Even if the police officers are guilty of a thousand offenses, their company shouldn't resort to violence. Look at the mess it's become now. I wonder how many people have died because of this!"

Of course Guo Dachong would not admit it and retorted,

"It was your brutal rule that triggered the popular uprising. Mr. Alande, I warn you once again: the gunfight outside has nothing to do with TA! Please don't make such irresponsible statements without proof! Don't you have many colonies? You can mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them!"

Now it was Alande's turn to have his mouth twitch.

He would never admit the word "rebellion".

"Mr. Guo, let's let bygones be bygones. How about we forgive each other and not hold each other accountable?"

Guo Dachong took a deep puff of his cigarette and felt extremely regretful because his recklessness might have ruined Hu Zhenhua's plan.

He didn't know what Lao Hu's real intention was, but one thing was certain, TA's company would gain huge benefits from this incident.

"Mr. Alande, I have no right to decide on your proposal!"

Kulun didn't want to make a big deal out of it. This was his jurisdiction, and he was the one who was most responsible for what happened to Hu Zhenhua.

Cullen thought for a moment and said,

"Mr. Guo, you are the second-in-command of TA Company. When Chairman Hu Zhenhua is unable to perform his duties, you should take over!"

Guo Dachong took another puff of his cigarette and said calmly,

"If the Hull incident hadn't happened, I would have the right to make the decision. But now, I'm the person involved and must recuse myself! Let Assistant Zhuge Lin handle the discussion!"

After saying that, he stood up and left.

About ten minutes later, Zhuge Lin appeared in the small conference room. He immediately stated his attitude.

"The company agreed to a settlement. But I want to make one thing clear: the gunfight had nothing to do with us, so the company can't help us calm it down!"

Alande knew that the conditions were not met.

Negotiations require bargaining chips.

Arend warned,

"Peace is the most important thing in everything. We have already mobilized a large force from Malacca. Once the army arrives, we will destroy everything together!"

Zhuge Lin shrugged.

"Then I wish you a speedy cessation of hostilities!"

After saying this, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Cullen.

The Gentleman State may have the military strength to quell the conflict, but resorting to force is the last option, because once the war breaks out, the entire city will be reduced to ruins.

Cullen pressed Zhuge Lin onto the sofa and said with a smile,

"Zhuge, Mr. Alande and I both believe that TA had nothing to do with the shootout. There's no doubt about that. I'd like to ask you for a favor. Could you please communicate with General Xie?"

Zhuge Lin pretended to be confused with him,

"Mr. Cullen, do you want to ask General Xie for help in sending troops to quell the conflict? I can certainly help! How about this? I have some respect with General Xie. I'll get everyone together and you can discuss it yourselves. How about that?"

Alande clenched his fists again. He had understood that Zhuge Lin's words had two meanings.

1. The gunfight had nothing to do with Xie Zhiyu.

Second, you need to pay money to appease him and invite him to send troops.

Especially the invitation to send troops is extremely insulting!

Alande felt aggrieved because the people who attacked the military camp were dressed in all kinds of clothes, no different from ordinary people, and their organizational structure could not be identified at all!

Because of this, some tabloids have begun to report publicly that the people can no longer bear the oppression and are rising up in anger.

Xie Zhiyu's troops were extremely poor and had no time to wear uniforms.

This has become his biggest cover.

Alande took a deep breath and compromised.

"Mr. Zhuge, thank you for your help!"

"Okay, okay! But I can't guarantee it will work!"

How could Alande not understand the meaning behind his words? He was asking for money for running errands.

Cullen quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"No matter what, Chairman Hu has been wronged this time. Shouldn't the Governor's Office express its gratitude?"

Alande forced himself to calm down.

"Mr. Zhuge, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask!"

Zhuge Lin was too lazy to pretend to be polite and said directly,

"Two requests. First, we hope the Governor's Office will treat all companies equally. Second, to prevent the senior management of TA from repeating the Chairman's mistakes, we will set up a security company here. We hope the authorities will approve our possession of various weapons. The company must have no more than 1 employees!"

Alande refused without a second thought.

"The first condition is fine, but the second one is not!"

What do you want to do by establishing such a powerful company?

Zhuge Lin smiled.

"Mr. Alande, I have a condition. If the Red Army ever arrives at the gates of our city, our company can help mediate. If we can't save Hong Kong, our security company will be closed! Please consider this!"
