Hong Kong General: Undercover and Liansheng, from 49 to leader

Chapter 336: The Last Night of the British Hong Kong Government, Hong Kong Myths and Hong Kong Jokes

A new day, Governor's Residence.

Peng Jiakang was listening to the news reported by Eagle Country Radio.

Although he is in Hong Kong Island, thousands of miles away from the mainland of Eagle Country, as a former cabinet minister, Peng Jiakang is still very concerned about the political news in Eagle Country to avoid being completely marginalized.

Until now, he still dreams of returning as a king and re-entering the Eagle Kingdom Cabinet.

Especially now that he has turned the tables in Hong Kong Island and made great contributions, this dream seems to be possible to come true at any time.

When Peng Jiakang heard the news that the British pound was maliciously sold off by international capital and the exchange rate fell by 9%, his brows slightly frowned.

He was a little surprised that there would be international capital that dared to take action against the British pound. Did he really think that the former British Empire had completely declined?
When Peng Jiakang heard that John Mason had approved the Ministry of Finance to raise the interest rate by 2% to 12% as needed, his eyes became serious.

Peng Jiakang knew very well what this meant. The Bank of England did not have enough "bullets" and needed to raise interest rates to accumulate "bullets".

'Doesn't this tell the world that Eagle Country is in a difficult situation right now?'

A thought came to Peng Jiakang's mind. If he were still in London, he would definitely stop John Mason from doing such a stupid thing.

‘Ring ring ring~’

Just then, a phone rang.

"Mr. Governor, Mr. Chen Kangli has arrived and said he wants to talk to you about something."

After Peng Jiakang picked up the microphone, the voice of secretary Richard came from the receiver.

Hearing that Chen Kangli wanted to discuss something with him, Peng Jiakang's eyes moved slightly: "Bring him over."

A few minutes later.

"Mr. Governor."

Chen Kangli bowed slightly and greeted Peng Jiakang.

"sit."

Peng Jiakang responded with a smile, and then waited for Chen Kangli to continue speaking.

"Mr. Governor, you should also know the news from Eagle Country, right?"

Chen Kangli didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"Are you referring to the news that international capital is shorting the British pound?"

Peng Jiakang asked even though he knew the answer.

"Mr. Governor, I know you were once a cabinet minister. Because you offended the former Prime Minister, the Iron Lady, you were driven to Hong Kong Island to serve as the Governor..."

Before Chen Kangli could finish his words, Peng Jiakang interrupted him: "Advisor Chen, don't mention these things anymore. Just get down to business."

"I think this time, international capital shorting the pound is an opportunity for our Hong Kong government, an opportunity to improve the status of the Hong Kong government."

Chen Kangli said slowly.

"..."

Peng Jiakang didn't say anything, but just looked at Chen Kangli quietly, signaling with his eyes that Chen Kangli should continue speaking.

"Mr. Governor, among the overseas territories of the Eagle Country, Hong Kong Island is the richest one. The foreign exchange reserves of Hong Kong Island alone are 42 billion US dollars. Adding other assets, the British Hong Kong government can mobilize more than 50 billion US dollars."

"If we can give this 50 billion US dollars to our family's Bank of England for operation, and add our family's own foreign exchange reserves, we can take out nearly 100 billion US dollars to maintain the exchange rate of the pound, which will definitely help our family fight off international capital."

"When the time comes, our British Hong Kong government will surely receive rich rewards."

Chen Kangli said these words slowly, causing Peng Jiakang to fall into deep thought.

Although Peng Jiakang is not from the financial field, he is very clear that John Mason has been forced to raise interest rates, which is like drinking poison to quench thirst, indicating that the Eagle Country is really in great difficulty now.

If at this time, Peng Jiakang could help Eagle Country and help John Mason get out of this predicament, the merit he would make would be far greater than establishing a parliament in Hong Kong Island.

After all, in the eyes of the officials of the Zu family, Hong Kong Island is just a colony thousands of miles away. Its importance is thousands of times less than that of the Eagle Country.

At that time, there was a high probability that Peng Jiakang could be directly recalled to the Eagle Country by John Mason to join the cabinet, and at worst he could become a party leader.

After thinking for five or six minutes, Peng Jiakang finally spoke: "Advisor Chen, is your proposal feasible? Once this matter is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Chen Kangli's "proposal" did indeed make Peng Jiakang excited, but he was also very clear that if the people of Hong Kong knew about the misappropriation of foreign exchange reserves, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

"Mr. Governor, the owners, keepers and users of this money are all our own people. I don't know what you are worried about. If you are still worried, I suggest you find professionals from HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank and let them help you solve your doubts."

Chen Kangli replied with a smile.

"..."

After hearing what Chen Kangli said, Peng Jiakang was silent for more than ten seconds before he slowly said, "Advisor Chen, I will keep your suggestion in mind. Is there anything else?"

"Mr. Governor, there is one more thing I need your approval for. It has been almost thirty years since I graduated from university and came to Hong Kong Island. However, my ability is limited. Even in these thirty years, I have not received a knighthood medal."

At this point, Chen Kangli showed an awkward smile on his face: "I hope that after I retire, I can return to my hometown with honor, rather than returning empty-handed."

"Advisor Chen, an official as capable as you has not yet received a knight's medal. This is definitely a 'pearl in the ocean' left by the previous governors of Hong Kong. Don't worry, during my tenure, I will do my best to obtain a knight's medal for you."

A hint of understanding appeared on Peng Jiakang's face.

The Medal of Knighthood is of great significance to the people of the United States. Only those who have received the Medal of Knighthood can be given the honorific title of "SIR" in official documents.

No wonder Chen Kangli rushed to the Governor's Residence to ask me for "advice", it turned out that he wanted the Knight's Medal.

But Peng Jiakang didn’t know that Chen Kangli in front of him was acting the whole time.

Once upon a time, Chen Kangli did desire the medal of knighthood, but after making up his mind to be an enemy of the British Hong Kong government, he had given up his desire for any honor from the Eagle Country.

After all, no matter how attractive the Knight's Medal is, can it be more attractive than the more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in consulting fees that the He family gives him every year? Can it be more attractive than the Repulse Bay seaside villa where he currently lives? Can it be more attractive than the yachts, luxury cars, and luxury watches he owns?

"Thank you, Mr. Governor."

The smile on Chen Kangli's face was particularly natural.

"Advisor Chen, you don't need to thank me. If you can get the Knight's Medal, you only need to thank yourself. This is what you deserve for serving the British Hong Kong government for 30 years."

Peng Jiakang didn't doubt it and replied with a smile.

Then, Chen Kangli chatted with Peng Jiakang for a few more words before he stood up and said goodbye: "Mr. Governor, I will not disturb you from your work. Goodbye."

After Chen Kangli left, Peng Jiakang hesitated for a few minutes before picking up the phone and dialing a number: "Mr. Chief Secretary, this is Peng Jiakang. Please come to the Governor's Residence immediately."

Obviously, Peng Jiakang was moved by Chen Kangli's proposal.

Returning to the Eagle Country and returning to the cabinet is Peng Jiakang's obsession. He longs to return to the core circle of the Eagle Country's political arena. No matter what, he cannot give up this opportunity easily.

However, Peng Jiakang knew very well that if he wanted to use Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves and the pension funds in the Z Fund, he would have to rely on the Chief Secretary, McLeod, to successfully use the money to aid the Eagle Country.

More than twenty minutes later.

"Mr. Governor."

Led by Richard, McGrath walked into Peng Jiakang's office and greeted Peng Jiakang with a smile.

"Mr. Chief Secretary, please take a seat."

Peng Jiakang nodded in response.

After McLego sat down, Peng Jiakang continued, "Mr. Chief Secretary, I heard that after you graduated from Liverpool University with a master's degree in finance, you first worked in the Ministry of Finance of Eagle Country for seven years before coming to Hong Kong Island as the Director of the Commerce and Industry Department at the level of Assistant Undersecretary."

"After that, I spent another ten years as Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Director of the Monetary Authority, and finally promoted to Financial Secretary. Am I right?"

"Mr. Governor, you are absolutely right."

There was confusion in McLego's eyes. He was very curious why Peng Jiakang suddenly reported his resume.

"The British pound was shorted by international capital yesterday. The Zu family is under great pressure. Director Mai, you are an expert in finance. Can you help me explain why international capital can short sell the British pound?"

Peng Jiakang did not state his request directly, but used the excuse of "asking questions" to get the topic back on track.

After hearing what Peng Jiakang said, McLego's eyes moved slightly. After a moment's silence, he replied, "Mr. Governor, I need more information to give a reasonable explanation."

McLego knew that Peng Jiakang would not speak without a purpose, and his meaning was very clear, so he asked Peng Jiakang to reveal his cards directly.

"Director Mai, I don't know much..."

After Peng Jiakang explained in detail what he knew, he continued to ask, "Director Mai, can you now explain to me why international capital can short sell the pound?"

McLego thought for more than ten minutes before he slowly spoke: "The most important reason for short selling currency is that international capital believes that the pound is not worth its current price..."

McLego spoke eloquently for nearly ten minutes, making Peng Jiakang feel a little drowsy. When McLego finished speaking, Peng Jiakang immediately asked, "Is there any way to save the pound?"

"The quickest and simplest way is to use money to attack. We should buy as many pounds as international capital sells, and show the muscle of the Eagle Country to the whole world."

"The second thing is to convince Germany to cooperate with us and maintain the exchange rate between the mark and the pound. As long as we can hold on for a week, we can naturally break down the short selling of the pound by international capital."

Based on its own experience, McLego provided two solutions.

In fact, the Eagles have tried both solutions and spent more than 20 billion US dollars to protect the pound, but it failed to do so. Germany's economy is booming, and it is unwilling to cooperate with the Eagles, whose economy is "deteriorating".

This ultimately forced the Eagle Country to withdraw from the European Monetary Exchange Rate Mechanism and suffered a complete defeat.

After listening to McLego's two solutions, Peng Jiakang pondered for more than half a minute before slowly speaking: "Mr. Chief Secretary, you have worked in the Financial Secretary for so many years. Can our Hong Kong British government use foreign exchange reserves without anyone noticing?"

"?"

McLego's eyes flickered, and he roughly understood what Peng Jiakang was going to do.

Peng Jiakang did not keep McGaugh waiting and directly stated his purpose: "If our Hong Kong British government gives the foreign exchange reserves and pensions to the Zu family for operation for a period of time, can it help the Zu family overcome this difficulty?"

"Mr. Governor, if we do this, once we are discovered..."

Before McLego could finish his words, Peng Jiakang interrupted him: "Mr. Chief Secretary, you just need to tell me whether it is possible or not."

"It is highly likely that international capital will short the pound for a short period of time. If they don't make money in a week, they will start to leave the market one after another."

McGrath said slowly.

"Can we send our foreign exchange reserves to our ancestors without anyone noticing?"

Peng Jiakang continued to ask.

“This requires the full cooperation of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank.”

McLego answered truthfully.

After hearing what McLego said, Peng Jiakang was silent for a moment, then he picked up the phone receiver in front of him and dialed a number: "Richard, notify Mr. Joelen Sassoon to come to the Governor's Residence."

"Yes, Mr. Governor."

Richard's voice came from the receiver.

An hour later, Joelen Sassoon walked into Peng Jiakang's office.

"Mr. Governor, Mr. Chief Secretary."

Joelen Sassoon first greeted Peng Jiakang and McLego, and then looked at Peng Jiakang: "Mr. Governor, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After being "arrested" by the police once, Joelen Sassoon kept a low profile and would never show up in public unless necessary.

Even though the British Hong Kong government has regained the upper hand in Hong Kong Island in recent times, Joelen Sassoon still lives a reclusive life. He fully understands the value of the word "low-key".

"Mr. Sassoon, I want to know how much foreign exchange reserves the Hong Kong British government has deposited in HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank?"

Peng Jiakang looked at Joelen Sassoon who was sitting in front of him and slowly asked this question.

Joelen Sassoon's eyes flickered slightly, and after thinking for a few seconds, he replied: "Mr. Governor, you should ask the Financial Secretary this question."

"Mr. Sassoon, the foreign exchange reserves I am referring to are the foreign exchange reserves that our Hong Kong British government can use."

Peng Jiakang stared at Joelen Sassoon and spoke slowly, word by word.

"..."

A hint of surprise flashed across Joran Sassoon's eyes. This time, he thought for more than a minute before saying, "Mr. Governor, this question needs to be answered by the managers of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank."

"Mr. Sassoon, I just want you to answer this question."

There was no room for rejection in Peng Jiakang's tone.

He was well aware that the more people there were, the worse the confidentiality would be. The fewer people who knew about his plan to use Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves, the better.

"Please give me a few minutes."

After getting Peng Jiakang's nod of permission, Joelen Sassoon took out his cell phone and dialed two numbers in succession.

After some questioning, Joelen Sassoon continued, "Two hundred and thirty-three billion seven hundred million dollars."

"Doesn't the Hong Kong government have more than 40 billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves?"

Peng Jiakang frowned slightly.

"Mr. Governor, part of the foreign exchange reserves cannot be used. Only US$23.7 billion can be used."

Joelen Sassoon's answer was immediate.

The composition of foreign exchange reserves is extremely complex, including cash, foreign bank deposits, foreign securities, etc. Although Hong Kong Island has more than 40 billion in foreign exchange reserves, the only thing that can be used secretly is cash.

"..."

Peng Jiakang pondered for a few minutes, and seemed to have made a decision. He stood up and walked to Joelen Sassoon, and whispered, "Mr. Sassoon, what I am going to tell you next will be the top secret of the Hong Kong British government. Apart from you, me and Secretary Mac, I don't want anyone else in Hong Kong to know it."

"Yes, Mr. Governor."

Hearing Peng Jiakang say this in such a serious tone, Joelen Sassoon's eyes fixed and he nodded slowly.

"Yesterday, some international capital shorted the British pound..."

Peng Jiakang briefly explained the international capital's shorting of the British pound, and then continued: "Mr. Sassoon, what we have to do is to save the British pound and save the Eagle Country."

After hearing what Peng Jiakang said, Joelen Sassoon's eyes were filled with astonishment.

He never dreamed that one day someone would come up to him and say something about saving the pound and saving the British pound.

What a joke, he is a businessman, not a patriot.

Besides, what's the point of telling him this? He is just the head of the Sassoon family in Hong Kong Island. If you really want to save the Eagle Country, you should talk to the top leaders of the Sassoon family.

As if he had guessed what Joelen Sassoon was thinking, Peng Jiakang continued, "Mr. Sassoon, listen to me."

"The British Hong Kong government has entrusted the Z Fund with US$12 billion in pension funds for operation. Together with the foreign exchange reserves that HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank can use, they can come up with US$35 billion."

"After the Zu family gets this money, they can definitely force those international investors to retreat, or even make them leave at a loss."

At this point, Peng Jiakang looked at the Chief Secretary McLeod who was sitting next to him: "Mr. Chief Secretary is a financial expert. He can help you solve all your doubts."

As Peng Jiakang finished speaking, McLego said, "Mr. Sassoon, when international capital is shorting, whether it is shorting currency, oil, or other commodities, there is a rule: get in and get out quickly!"

"Because most of the capital they use for short selling is obtained through borrowing, which means that they cannot carry out long-term short selling because it will cause their costs to explode."

"Once they find that the commodities they shorted did not plummet as they expected, these international investors will immediately cut their losses and leave the market, so as not to suffer too much loss."

At this point, McLego paused for a moment, a smile on his face: "So, Mr. Sassoon, we only need to lend the money from Hong Kong Island to the Zu family for at most half a month, and we can help the Zu family get out of this crisis."

"After half a month, the money will be returned to Hong Kong Island, and no one will notice that the money has ever left."

"And at that time, you, the great hero who saved the Eagle Country, will receive the greatest praise from the Zu family. Think about it, if you have the full support of the Zu family, are you also qualified to compete for the position of the head of the Sassoon family?"

Joelen Sassoon was completely moved by McLego's words. He only needed to embezzle foreign exchange reserves for half a month to gain full support from his ancestors. This business could indeed be done.

At this time, Peng Jiakang said again: "Mr. Sassoon, the British Hong Kong government will issue an official document to mobilize Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves, but you are the only one in Hong Kong who knows the existence of this document."

"..."

After hearing what Peng Jiakang said, Joelen Sassoon, who was already moved, was completely moved.

He knew that if something really happened, the documents of the British Hong Kong government would be of no use and HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank would still suffer a huge impact.

But for him personally, it is a talisman.

After thinking for several minutes, Joelen Sassoon finally spoke: "Mr. Governor, Mr. Chief Secretary, I am also an Eagle countryman. It is my duty to make a contribution to the country."

After hearing what Joelen Sassoon said, both Peng Jiakang and McLego smiled.

At this time, Joelen Sassoon continued, "It's just that, Mr. Governor, it's very difficult to keep such a large-scale use of foreign exchange reserves secret!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Sassoon, this is not something you need to worry about."

Peng Jiakang has made preparations to let the Eagle Country government be responsible for sending Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves to the Eagle Country. The entire process must be kept strictly confidential. Even the executives of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank who are involved in the process will be controlled. The money can only be "freed" after it returns to Hong Kong Island.

"Yes, Mr. Governor."

When Joelen Sassoon heard what Peng Jiakang said, he nodded slightly.

"Mr. Sassoon, you must prepare now and simplify the procedures as much as possible. The fewer people who know about this, the safer it will be for us. When the Zu family arrives, have them take the money away as quickly as possible."

"Also, you can't tell anyone about this before the Zu family arrives in Hong Kong Island."

Peng Jiakang said slowly. "Mr. Governor, I understand."

Joelen Sassoon said slowly.

"Mr. Sassoon, go ahead and do your work."

After giving these instructions, Peng Jiakang waved his hand, indicating that Joelen Sassoon could leave.

After Joelen Sassoon left, Peng Jiakang looked at McLeod who was sitting next to him and said, "Mr. Chief Secretary, I'm going to have to work hard on the Z Fund. I still say the same thing, you must keep it confidential!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Governor, I have thought of a very legitimate reason to invest the money in the Z Fund into Eagle Country..."

A smile appeared on McLego's face, and he slowly told his plan.

"Well, Mr. Chief Secretary, I'll do as you say."

Peng Jiakang nodded, then picked up the satellite phone and dialed a number.

"Jones, it's me. Sorry to disturb your rest."

After the call was connected, Peng Jiakang spoke immediately.

It is now 11:00 a.m. in Hong Kong Island and 3:00 a.m. in London.

"Patton, what's going on?"

Jones Fonda's tone sounded a little tired, and it was obvious that he had not rested and was still working.

"I know that the Zu family is in trouble now. Perhaps we in Hong Kong Island can help you a little..."

Peng Jiakang slowly outlined Hong Kong's plan to use its foreign exchange reserves to help the Eagle Country overcome its difficulties.

"..."

After listening to Peng Jiakang's plan, Jones Fonda was silent for nearly a minute before he said, "Patton, wait a moment. I will report this to the Prime Minister first and call you back later."

After that, Jones Fonda hung up the phone.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, Peng Jiakang slowly put down the satellite phone, but the smile on his face became brighter.

Peng Jiakang is a long-time friend of John Mason. He knows that with John Mason's character, he will definitely agree to his plan.

‘Ring ring ring~’

Within five minutes, the satellite phone rang.

"Patton, a SAS team carrying out a mission in the Middle East will fly to Hong Kong Island soon and is expected to arrive at Hong Kong Island at 8 pm Hong Kong Island time. Mr. Prime Minister hopes that you will make all preparations before they arrive. Our time is precious."

As soon as Peng Jiakang pressed the answer button, Jones Fonda's voice came from the receiver.

SAS stands for Special Air Service of the United States Army. It is the most powerful special forces unit of the United States and also the first special forces unit in the world.

This time, the Eagle Cabinet directly sent SAS to carry out the mission, which is enough to show how much importance the Eagle Cabinet attaches to Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves and the dilemma that the Eagle Country is facing now.

"Don't worry, Jones. I'm ready. We'll take over as soon as our people arrive."

"In addition, I need my family to step in and take out a portion of the public revenue, such as the water company and the power plant, and sign a cooperation agreement with a fund company called Z Fund. The British Hong Kong government's $12 billion pension fund in the Z Fund will be transferred to the Eagle Country."

Peng Jiakang roughly reiterated McLego's plan.

"Okay, Patton, I'll ask a professional to handle the matter you mentioned."

Jones Fonda immediately gave his answer after listening to Peng Jiakang's words. Then, without waiting for Peng Jiakang to speak, he continued, "Patton, your contribution to the Zu family this time will be remembered by the Zu family and the Prime Minister."

"The Prime Minister asked me to tell you that he will give you a satisfactory answer in the general election next year."

Peng Jiakang's eyes lit up: "Mr. Jones, I work for the Zu family without asking for anything in return, just to help the Zu family survive this crisis."

"Patton, if there were more patriots like you in the Eagle Country, the glory of the sun that never sets would surely shine on the British Isles again."

Jones Fonda exchanged a few polite words with Peng Jiakang and then hung up the phone.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

After hearing the busy tone in the receiver, Peng Jiakang immediately said to McLemore, "Mr. Chief Secretary, the Zu family has sent a SAS team to Hong Kong Island. They will arrive at 8 o'clock in the evening. We must make all preparations before then!"

"understand!"

After responding, McGrady immediately stood up and left Peng Jiakang's office.

After McLego left his office, Peng Jiakang picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"General Hawkins, my name is Peng Jiakang, and I need you to do two things."

"First of all, a military plane will land at the Stanley Military Camp military airport tonight. You must keep it confidential."

"The second thing is, I need you to contact Vice Admiral Simmons of the aircraft carrier fleet immediately and tell him that our Hong Kong British government needs help from their navy..."

Peng Jiakang decided to use the power of the navy to help the Hong Kong British government control all the insiders, and then "release" these insiders after the plan was completely completed.

"Mr. Governor, I wonder what kind of reason I should give to Vice Admiral Simmons when I contact him?"

Hawkins' words were very tactful, but his meaning was clear: he needed to know what Peng Jiakang was doing.

"I'm sorry, I can only tell you that this plan was approved by the Prime Minister himself and is absolutely confidential."

Peng Jiakang said slowly.

Hearing Peng Jiakang's answer, Hawkins' eyes narrowed: "Okay, Mr. Governor, I understand what you mean."

Following Peng Jiakang's orders, some of the Eagle Americans in Hong Kong began to work with astonishing efficiency.

……

Also that morning, at the Z Fund headquarters building.

"Lawyer Ma, this is the task assigned to us by our superiors. My boss has personally promised you that after this matter is over, you can leave Hong Kong Island and go to any country in the world with a reward of 20 million US dollars."

Zhou Guorui looked at Ma Zhiyong who was sitting opposite him, slowly told him the plan that Lu Yaowen had told him, and then painted a pie for Ma Zhiyong.

"Mr. Zhou, stop joking. I've offended the Eagles so much by doing this. Is there any other place I can go except to the mainland?"

A bitter smile appeared on Ma Zhiyong's face.

Leaving evidence when the British used the 12 billion pension funds in the Z Fund and then exposing it publicly is basically equivalent to shitting on the neck of the British Hong Kong government, which completely offended the British.

"Of course, there is nothing my boss can't do in Hong Kong Island."

Zhou Guorui also has 100% trust in Lu Yaowen.

"I will do things according to your arrangements, and I hope you can keep your promise."

Ma Zhiyong knew that he was now completely under control and had no other choice but to obey.

"Don't worry, Lawyer Ma, my boss is the most trustworthy person in Hong Kong Island, no doubt about it."

Zhou Guorui thought about the comfortable days he had had over the past few months, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

At noon that day.

‘Ring ring ring~’

Ma Zhiyong's cell phone rang.

"Hello, who is it?"

Under Zhou Guorui's gaze, Ma Zhiyong took out his mobile phone and pressed the answer button and the hands-free button.

"Lawyer Ma, it's me."

Zhou Qiangguang's voice came from the speaker of the mobile phone, causing Zhou Guorui and Ma Zhiyong's eyes to move slightly.

"Mr. Zhou, what are your orders?"

Ma Zhiyong asked.

"Come to my office. I have something to arrange for you to do in person."

After hearing Zhou Qiangguang's words, Zhou Guorui's eyes lit up slightly and he immediately gave Ma Zhiyong a hint with his eyes.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll be right there."

Ma Zhiyong responded immediately.

After Ma Zhiyong hung up the phone, Zhou Guorui immediately said, "Lawyer Ma, my second uncle is looking for you now because the Eagles want to transfer the funds of the Z Fund. From now on, it depends on your performance."

"Ah."

Ma Zhiyong nodded slightly and said "hmm" softly.

Half an hour later, in Zhou Qiangguang's office.

"Lawyer Ma, people from the Hong Kong British government will be here soon. You should do what they tell you to do. Don't have any questions or excuses. Do you understand?"

Zhou Qiangguang looked at Ma Zhiyong standing in front of him and said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, I wonder what the British Hong Kong government wants me to do?"

Ma Zhiyong asked tentatively.

"I don't know either. Anyway, no matter what they do, you have to cooperate with them fully."

The smile on Zhou Qiangguang's face faded and his tone became extremely serious.

"understand!"

Ma Zhiyong nodded heavily.

‘Dong dong dong~’

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Then, the voice of Zhou Qiguang's secretary came from outside the door: "Mr. Zhou, your guest has arrived."

"Okay, bring them here."

Zhou Qiguang responded, then he stood up, walked to Ma Zhiyong's side, and whispered: "Lawyer Ma, you are an old hand. The boss of Z Fund is Zhou Guorui. Do you understand?"

Ma Zhiyong immediately understood what Zhou Qiangguang meant. If anything went wrong, all the responsibility would be on Zhou Guorui.

"I understand."

Ma Zhiyong lowered his head and responded.

"Do your best. Lixin Group will need you to show your talents in the future."

Zhou Qiangguang patted Ma Zhiyong on the shoulder and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Then, Ma Zhiyong followed the two foreigners from the British Hong Kong government back to the office building of the Z Fund. According to the arrangements of the two foreigners, he transferred the funds in the Z Fund to the Eagle Country in the form of investment.

All of this was recorded in great secrecy by Ma Zhiyong.

……

Also on the same morning, in a villa in the East Mid-Levels villa area.

“Henry, Lawrence Lu needs you to help him complete the last mission.”

Xie Tianning looked at his father-in-law Henry and said with a smile.

"Johnny..."

As soon as Henry opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xie Tianning: “Henry, I have said many times that my name is Xie Tianning.”

"Tian Ning, in the past year or so, thanks to Mr. Lu, I have enjoyed wealth and glory that I have never enjoyed in my life. This is enough for me in this life."

"In the time ahead, I just hope to live my retirement life in peace and watch you and Sarah's children grow up."

Henry shook his head and laughed.

“Henry, Mr. Lu will not mistreat anyone who is loyal to him. Your wish will definitely come true.”

Xie Tianning said slowly.

"Tian Ning, are you really going to keep your identity secret and help Mr. Lu for the rest of your life?"

Henry didn't seem to care about his own treatment, but was more worried about Xie Tianning, his cheap son-in-law.

"Mr. Lu gave me this life, so I have to give it back to him. Henry, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, after the Eagles fail in Hong Kong Island, I will give myself an identity that allows me to live in the sun, and let Sarah and my children live like normal people."

Hearing Xie Tianning's words, Henry's face relaxed: "Tianning, I am also infinitely grateful to Mr. Lu. He not only gave me a new life, but also gave me such a great son-in-law."

"Tell me, what does Mr. Lu need me to do?"

Xie Tianning stared at Henry and said slowly: "Henry, this time Mr. Lu will completely overthrow the British Hong Kong government. After that, he needs you to come forward to maintain the existence of the British Hong Kong government."

"?"

"Tianning, you are not kidding me, right?"

After hearing about his "final mission", Henry was confused. Was Lu Yaowen going to make him the "Shadow Governor of Hong Kong"?
"Henry, Mr. Lu told me that there must be a British Hong Kong government in Hong Kong Island, but this British Hong Kong government must be just like the Portuguese Macau government in Haojiang, and can only be a decoration."

"You are the only Eagle Countryman in the whole of Hong Kong who can help Mr. Lu do this."

Xie Tianning spoke slowly, word by word.

"..."

After hearing what Xie Tianning said, Henry fell silent.

He once thought that Lu Yaowen asked him to set up a club to win over the senior foreigners in Hong Kong Island, especially the senior officials of the Hong Kong British government, in order to obtain evidence of these people's illegal activities and stab the Hong Kong British government at a critical moment.

As a result, he never expected that what Lu Yaowen was going to do was to let the club he founded replace the Governor's Office and become the "leading department" of the British Hong Kong government.

After more than ten minutes of silence, Henry came back to his senses and said, "Tianning, please tell Mr. Lu that I will do my best to help him do this."

"Henry, believe in yourself, you can do it."

A smile appeared on Xie Tianning's face.

"Damn it, you still won't call me father?"

Henry looked at Henry deeply, shook his head and smiled.

After hearing Henry's words, the smile on Xie Tianning's face froze, and after a while, he said, "Thank you, father."

"Tianning, remember, children never have to say thank you to their parents."

Henry's face was filled with a bright smile.

"..."

Xie Tianning looked at Henry, who had a bright smile on his face, and also showed an equally bright smile on his face.

……

That evening, a military transport plane slowly landed at the Stanley military camp airfield.

Before the plane came to a complete stop, the tail door had already opened and dozens of soldiers in camouflage uniforms filed out of the transport plane.

The garrison commander Hawkins, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately came forward to greet him.

"I am Major General Hawkins, the commander of the Hong Kong Island garrison. My people have cleared the area here to ensure absolute confidentiality. The vehicles are all ready for you. In addition, I will arrange for my adjutant to accompany you to your destination."

Hawkins looked at a colonel standing in front of him with a very polite attitude.

Hundreds of years of "sedimentation" have resulted in an astonishing number of generals in the Eagle Army. The value of ordinary generals is actually not as high as that of the colonel commander of the SAS.

"Thank you, sir."

The SAS colonel thanked him calmly, then immediately took dozens of his men and quickly got into the car prepared by Hawkins. Under the guidance of Hawkins' adjutant, they drove towards the HSBC Bank.

However, these people did not realize that there were hundreds of intelligence personnel under Xie Tianning lying in ambush on the road from Stanley Military Camp to HSBC Bank. From the moment they left Stanley Military Camp, their every move was under surveillance.

The Peninsula Hotel, inside a suite.

"Brother Wen, half an hour ago, more than ten cars drove out of the Stanley military camp and are now approaching the HSBC headquarters building."

Xie Tianning stood in front of Lu Yaowen and reported to him.

"Tianning, more than a year of preparation is all for this moment. After this night, Hong Kong Island will completely become the Hong Kong Island of us Chinese."

Lu Yaowen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the brightly lit HSBC headquarters building across the Victoria Strait, with a faint smile on his face.

Looking at Lu Yaowen standing in front of him with a calm expression, he thought of Peng Jiakang, who was like a puppet, whose every action was controlled by Lu Yaowen.

Xie Tianning had only one thought in his mind at this moment: "If Lu Yaowen is a legend in Hong Kong, then Peng Jiakang, the Governor of Hong Kong, is a joke in Hong Kong."
