What do you mean by quitting the business? I'm not a big shot.

Chapter 648 Horses Trample Hong Kong, Bloodbath on the Long Streets, Personally Leading the Charge?

"The garrison is leaving its camp, military vehicles are going out into the streets, fine, the foreigners want to play, I'll play with them to the end." Yin Zhaotang held the phone, his fierce expression revealed, and said sternly, "Yan sir, organize the police force, guard the headquarters, don't let a single foreigner in, fight them head-on!"

"I have given orders to the Flying Tigers, the Mobile Force, and the SWAT team to prepare to open fire." Ren Darong said solemnly, "As long as the garrison dares to open fire, the Hong Kong Island Police Force will fight the rebels to the bitter end."

Yin Zhaotang nodded slightly: "That's settled then. I'll make a call back home and request support. Ren sir, let the guys know they're not fighting alone!"

"Yes, sir." Ren Darong snapped to attention and saluted.

More than a dozen high-ranking police officers, dressed in uniforms and of varying ages and with diverse expressions, gathered in the office, staring intently at the person in charge. Some looked angry, some were sweating profusely, and some had fear in their eyes.

At this critical moment, Inspector Yam decided to encourage them, but instead of being lenient, he warned: "Gentlemen, the police force has already been stained with blood during the riot control operation at noon."

"The councilor from the education section is still locked up in the detention room. He can't even keep his badge on his shoulder. He'll be waiting to be branded as a member of the Stanley police!"

"Thieves and soldiers, officials and bandits, the truth will be revealed under the bullets."

Talking to management about grand principles is useless; only personal gain can force them to work themselves to the bone. Not for the country, but for themselves; not for the country, but for fame and fortune.

pat.

A synchronized stomping sound rang out, and the officers present saluted in unison: "Yes, sir!"

Ren Darong picked up his sidearm from the table, loaded it with bullets, and said calmly, "Go do your work. Today, I'll share your life and death, and your glory."

"After the mission is accomplished, the glory of the revolution will shine upon every brother."

Police senior officers hurriedly left, ran back to their posts, and immediately mobilized the forces of various departments. Under Ren Darong's command, instead of adopting a defensive strategy of holding the headquarters, they withdrew their lines from the headquarters, set up roadblocks and laid out vehicle chains at the entrance of Arsenal Street, occupied the high ground, and dispatched military and police to intercept vehicles.

Although it is impossible to construct military positions in the short term, and the police force also lacks the corresponding capabilities, the military only dispatched a special company with light equipment to advance into the city. Using existing antlers, car chains, and crash barriers from the warehouse, they were sufficient to achieve the desired interception effect.

Meanwhile, more than 3,000 personnel were fully mobilized, their armories emptied, and they armed themselves and took to the streets. Utilizing buildings and terrain, they deployed a multi-stage fire network.

Fifteen minutes later, when the military troops arrived at the street corner, the battle line had already taken shape, much to the astonishment of the officer in charge.

The lowest-ranking police officers, powerless and without position, seem to have nothing to do with politics. But "politics" is a social movement, and anyone active in society will inevitably be affected by "politics."

They weren't concerned with national interests; they only knew that the garrison's movement outside the camp must never be legalized. Otherwise, the police force would become a mere decoration, and all benefits and treatment would be reduced again and again.

In order to maintain their positions, they had to drive the foreign troops back to their homeland!

Liang Manping looked shocked and couldn't believe it: "The foreigners actually deployed their army in the streets?"

“Youde has gone mad, and the foreigners have become obsessed.” Yin Zhaotang clenched his fist and said, “According to reliable sources, it is a special company that was secretly transferred and will take over the police force and then take military control of the city.”

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!" Liang Manping said solemnly. "I will report this immediately, request support, and put pressure on the British in every possible way." "Wait two minutes, I'll call my superiors."

When Yin Zhaotang heard the dial tone, he knew that the matter had exceeded Liang Manping's authority and that he needed to wait for a reply from the highest authority.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao had already reorganized Wang Zhijun's men, and with the brothers returning to Hong Kong one after another, the available force reached 500 men. Every one of them was a veteran who had received military training and had seen combat, and the command chain had been rebuilt, and they were equipped with weapons and vehicles.

In less than three days, on the very first day of the game, the foreigner had already gone all in!

More than half of the people returning from Port Khomeini are still on airplanes.

You could say the foreigners were tough and tenacious, or you could say they lost too quickly and had no cards left to play?
Thinking of the police force, where his brothers would risk their lives, Yin Zhaotang felt heavy-hearted. He stepped out of his office and went to the statue of Guan Yu in the lobby, where he lit three incense sticks.

He bowed deeply.

"May the Second Master bless us with peace and prosperity, and may my brother achieve great success!"

At this moment, all he could do was draw a fortune stick for his brothers who were risking their lives on the front lines. As the few incense sticks rose, Guan Yu's solemn and dignified eyes seemed to gleam.

Lines of text appeared.

May Guan Yu bless the nation and its people, bringing good fortune and averting misfortune!

[Please select your fortune for this period: One, the fortune of loyalty. A vast army will cross Hong Kong, turning the tide and trampling through enemy lines. This fortune of loyalty requires offering thanks to the gods by 'electing a new Chief Executive'.]

[Part Two: The Righteousness Cycle – Brothers side by side, personally going to the front lines, ascending Victoria Peak, planting the flag at the Governor's Mansion! This Righteousness Cycle requires a 100,000-person sacrificial ceremony to thank the gods.]

[Part Three: The "Brave" Movement, a bloody street battle, with guns blazing, annihilated the rebel army, shocking the world. This "Brave" Movement must be rewarded with 'reforming Hong Kong's legal system' as a way to appease the gods.]

Each of the three fortune sticks represents a life sacrificed; even the scent of incense carries a hint of gunpowder. My gaze, after skimming the inscriptions, immediately settles on the second one, "The Fortune of Righteousness."

This time, the choice of fortune and the conditions for offering sacrifices to the gods were irrelevant, because as long as one wins, what conditions can't one afford? Whether it's electing an administrator, holding a religious ceremony, or reforming the system, the victor is qualified to do it. Therefore, the impact of victory becomes the main factor in the decision-making process.

The first "Loyalty Movement," which was tantamount to a war, had a huge impact on the entire nation and people, and was the first to be eliminated by Yin Zhaotang.

Perhaps because he was born in mainland China and had lived two lives, he subconsciously felt that influencing an entire country for the sake of one city was going too far. Because the country belongs to a billion people, not just him.

The third "Operation Courage" is similar, pitting the police and military against each other to the bitter end, which will affect an entire city. But this city belongs to the five million citizens of Hong Kong Island. Is it acceptable, and necessary, for it to be plunged into endless turmoil because of political maneuvering?

He is well aware that he has become the ruling class of Hong Kong Island, and his relationship with the authorities is a contest of lines, ideologies, and stances, but that does not prevent him from being a beneficiary of the existing interests.

But most citizens are not beneficiaries of the existing system. They remain loyal, just as they were when they first arrived on Hong Kong Island, fighting alongside their brothers. They won't sacrifice innocent lives; they will fight to the bitter end for their ideals and their future!
Even though the fortune slip explicitly stated that he needed to personally go to the front lines and risk his life, with the Second Master's blessing, and acting according to his conscience, what was there to fear?
After selecting the divination slip, the smoke dissipated, and incense was placed in the bronze incense burner as an offering to Guan Sheng. Just as I returned to my office, the phone rang.
