"Busses and taxis are being replaced, and new traffic lights, road signs and signs are also being replaced. It is expected to be completed in one month, but the cost is quite high!"
Jian Huizhen said with great distress, "The 300 million Hong Kong dollars prepared in advance are not enough, we need to continue to invest more, and we need to pay for these ourselves."
In order to change the lane from left to right, Sweden spent a lot of manpower and material resources, which involved more than 8,000 officials, more than 150,000 volunteers and a cost of nearly 40 million Swedish kronor.
Note that this was 40 million Swedish kronor in 1967. If it were put in the 1990s, its value would be more than 200 million US dollars.
Even though Xiangjiang is just a city and its area is much smaller than that of Sweden, it has a large population. With a population of millions, Xiangjiang’s population is no less than that of Sweden in 1967.
To transform the entire city's traffic, the cost is not a small amount, and it involves many aspects. Otherwise, the real world will not allow two traffic rules for the mainland and Hong Kong.
And what's even more outrageous is.
When Sweden changes traffic rules, the government pays for it and deducts it from taxes.
And Xiangjiang!
Because of the military control, Xiangjiang's economy has come to a standstill. This year, it will definitely be unable to make ends meet. How can it be possible to spend money to change the traffic? Lei Weidong can only pay for it himself, or at best ask the mainland for reimbursement in the future.
"As long as the traffic rules can be changed from left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic, it doesn't matter how much money is spent. The key is the citizens of Xiangjiang and we cannot let them complain."
Lei Weidong, who has a net worth of hundreds of billions, does not care about the gains and losses of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. What he cares about is the reaction of the people of Hong Kong.
"Most Xiangjiang citizens are opposed to our change of traffic rules. However, because it is now martial law, we have launched a thunderous operation against the associations, arresting thousands of people, and killing chickens to scare monkeys. Even if some people are dissatisfied, they dare not raise their opinions for fear of We raked the grass and hunted rabbits.
In addition, we not only publicized the necessity of changing from driving left to driving right on TV and distributed a large number of leaflets, but also recruited a large number of volunteers to conduct door-to-door publicity to enhance public awareness.
There shouldn't be any surprises in this change. The only thing I'm worried about is the ghost guys. I'm afraid they will do some dirty tricks to destroy it. "
Lei Weidong moved Xiangjiang's traffic rules closer to the mainland. Anyone who is not a fool can see the meaning of this.
With Xiangjiang's small population, once it comes into close contact with the mainland, it will take at most ten or twenty years to fully integrate into it and become the same as the Magic City.
This is intolerable to many banana people.
It's just that they don't have the ability, so they can only hope that the ghost guy behind them will take action.
The "Eagle Country Guys" have to be on guard, but don't worry too much, they will soon be overwhelmed. "Lei Weidong turned his eyes to the west, looking at London thousands of miles away - it's time to use his trump card!
"Shall we summon the soldiers of the United States?"
Lei Weidong took out the system reward, the beautiful country soldier summoning card that had not been used up.
"call!"
Lei Weidong agreed.
"Please select a summoning location?" the system continued to ask.
The last time Lei Weidong took back the beautiful soldiers was on the high seas. If he calls again, he will not appear at the original location, but will appear in various locations around the world as needed.
"Seven Sisters Park, London!"
Lei Weidong thought carefully and chose a Seven Sisters Park that was far away from London and relatively sparsely populated.
This is a famous tourist attraction in Eagle Country and an "old face" in movies and TV series. In particular, the white cliffs here attract countless tourists to visit here.
The reason why I chose this place.
A key factor is that it is close to the sea, which can be said to be the seaside. This time it disturbs the vision of the people of the Eagle Country and makes them think that the soldiers of the Beautiful Country who attacked them came from the sea.
System: "Please enter the task?"
Lei Weidong: "Robbing the Bank of England's underground vault in the old town, taking away all the gold, foreign exchange, and bearer securities inside, and at the same time destroying the aircraft, warships and other weapons and equipment of the Eagle Nation people as much as possible to make them lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time .”
The Eagle Kingdom is an old empire. Even though it has declined, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Compared with Xiangjiang, which has almost no defense power, the Eagle Kingdom itself can be said to have strong troops and horses. Only the most advanced third-generation tank Challenger in the world is Hundreds of vehicles were equipped.
This is a main battle tank that is inferior to the old American MI system in both logistics, armor protection and firepower.
Not to mention the Air Force and Navy, they not only have hundreds of combat aircraft and aircraft carriers, but are also equipped with a large number of helicopters.
Among them, the Bobcat general-purpose helicopter is known as a tank killer because it is equipped with "TAO" 3 anti-tank missiles. In the battle between the Eagle Country and the South American Eagle for the Falklands.
It was by relying on these air knights that the Eagle Nation defeated the South American Eagle Armored Brigade's counterattack against the landing troops and established the victory in the Battle of the Falklands.
Not to mention the Apache helicopter, which is the main helicopter of the old United States. Its comprehensive combat effectiveness can be ranked in the top three among armed helicopters.
With the strength of the Clone Corps, if they could not carry out a critical attack and destroy the Eagle Country's military power from the beginning, it was hard to say whether they could escape unscathed, let alone rob the underground vault of the Bank of England.
"Mission confirmed!"
The system's mechanical voice rang in Lei Weidong's ears, "Robbing the Bank of England's underground vault in the old city, and trying to destroy the armed forces of the Eagle Nation, please release the cloned American soldiers."
Taking into account the strength of the opponent, the scale of the clone army deployment will be expanded from the battalion-level battle group to the brigade-level battle group, and a critical strike will occur at the same time!
Please note!
Because the clone army has been used once, its remaining time is only 14 hours. Beyond this time, the system will forcefully withdraw it, even in combat situations. "
"Understood, release the cloned American soldier army!" Lei Weidong, who was using the clone army for the second time, knew the time limit. He only hoped that the clone army could be powerful enough to complete the mission quickly.
"The clone army has begun to be released, and its destination is the White Cliff area of the Seven Sisters Park in England, England. Congratulations to the army for having a tenfold critical hit when it was released. It has changed from a brigade-level battle group to a tri-service joint army-level battle group.
It includes two reinforced armored divisions, one surface-to-air missile division, and one air force division.
Each of the reinforced armored divisions has 7 brigades, including 2 armored brigades, and each brigade has 3 heavy tank battalions. It is equipped with m1a3 tanks and M113A3 armored personnel carriers that are more advanced than m1a2 tanks, as well as supporting supporting firepower. .
One mechanized infantry brigade, 4 subordinate mechanized infantry battalions, M3 cavalry fighting vehicle, M113 armored personnel carrier, tracked armored command vehicle, Stryker armored vehicle and Javelin anti-tank missile device.
An artillery brigade, with 2 155mm self-propelled howitzer battalions and 2 multiple rocket launcher battalions, equipped with 72 M109 self-propelled howitzers and 64 M142 Seamaster rocket launcher systems and 24 sets of Hawker air defense missile systems, Vulcan high-speed 24 guns and 24 107mm mortars.
An engineering brigade, subordinate to an air defense artillery battalion, a military intelligence battalion, a communications battalion and a logistics transportation regiment, equipped with Stryker armored personnel carriers, M6 field air defense vehicles, 155 mm M109 self-propelled howitzers, and tracked command Vehicles, armored Humvee, medium tactical truck, special tow truck.
There are 2 air assault brigades, each with two armed helicopter battalions. Each battalion is equipped with 36 AH-64 (Apache) armed helicopters and 36 AH-1Z Viper (Super Cobra) armed helicopters.
There are 12 UH-60 utility helicopters, 6 UH-1 helicopters, 3 EH-60 electronic warfare helicopters, and 12 OH-58 Kiowa reconnaissance helicopters.
The surface-to-air missile division includes two missile brigades, one is responsible for air defense equipment, 24 sets of Patriot PAC-3 systems and 12 sets of "THAAD" systems. Each system not only has 32 air defense missiles, but also an equal number of reserve missiles.
One is responsible for ground attack, equipped with 24 sets of Tomahawk Block 4+ cruise missile systems (a total of 720 cruise missiles). This is an improved version of the Tomahawk missile that shined in the Bend War. It can not only hit targets more than 1,600 kilometers away .
It is equipped with a half-ton multi-effect high-explosive warhead, which is effective against land targets, ships and underground structures, and its hit rate is within 5 meters.
The Air Force Division is divided into three large aviation regiments and a support regiment. The aviation regiments are equipped with 72 F15E fighter bombers, known as bomb trucks, and 64 F22 fighter jets that have no rivals even in the first decade of the 21st century.
32 B-1B bombers that can launch long-range air-to-surface missiles and 12 B2 bombers with the nickname Ghost.
The support group includes 12 E-10A early warning aircraft, 12 E-3 early warning aircraft and 32 large tanker aircraft, which can not only meet the 14 hours of combat flight of the clone army aircraft.
The system also equipped the aircraft with sufficient air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, precision-guided bombs with an error of no more than five meters, and logistics personnel. It also presented a complete set of force distribution maps of the Eagle Army, Navy, Army, and Air Force.
"The system is really powerful. With this configuration, not to mention the Eagle Army, even if the old American army is armed to the teeth and encounters it, it will suffer big losses if it is unprepared."
Looking at the troop allocation given by the system, Lei Weidong breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is impossible to destroy the Eagle Country, it is still possible to beat it half to death and rob the underground vault of the Bank of England.
Because the attacking troops were all equipped with American equipment, no one would believe it if they said it had nothing to do with the United States.
Even if the people of the Eagle Country are Lao Mei's younger brothers, born as Lao Mei's cows, and die as Lao Mei's black pepper trench beef tenderloin family photo set, the people of the Eagle Country who were beaten half to death will definitely take out their grievances on Lao Mei.
This was an attack on the mainland of Eagle Country, and it hit the core area like the capital. What did Lei Weidong do in Xiangjiang mean nothing!
"Set off!"
Lei Weidong waved his hand!
Nearly two hundred planes suddenly appeared in the sky over Seven Sisters Park, roaring past!
On the ground!
Hundreds of m1a3 tanks took the lead, followed by hundreds of helicopters and armored vehicles. Under the cover of self-propelled artillery, rocket launchers and cruise missiles, they rushed towards their respective targets.
at the same time!
In London, a large group of senior officials from the Eagle Country gathered at No. 10 Chinatown, and they were all expressing their opinions around the Prime Minister.
Lei Weidong's big move in Xiangjiang has been reported.
Not only will they carry out a devastating blow to the associations in Xiangjiang, but they will also modify the laws in Xiangjiang. What is even more extreme is to change the traffic rules from driving on the left to driving on the right.
If the gentlemen of Yingguo can still endure Lei Weidong's crackdown on associations, amend the law, and increase the punishment of crimes, then Lei Weidong's change of traffic rules and change of driving from left to right will be deeply painful. It hurts the hearts of these gentlemen.
Because everyone knows that if the mainland and Hong Kong implement the same traffic rules so that cars can drive without any obstacles, then Hong Kong will integrate into the mainland very quickly.
Sweden is the best example of this.
Before the traffic rules were changed, Sweden was incompatible with Norway and Finland, and their differences were clearly visible.
After changing traffic from left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic, Sweden's integration into the EU has been rapid, and its ties with neighboring countries have become closer and closer. So much so that when people talk about Northern Europe, they don't mention countries like Sweden, Norway, and Finland. They are collectively referred to as the five Nordic countries.
These are still different countries, but they are all closely connected.
The mainland and Hong Kong have the same roots. Once the transportation barriers are removed and people can circulate more smoothly, the integration speed will be astonishing. Even if some people in Hong Kong hate or look down on mainlanders, it will not make waves in the general environment. Directly crushed by the general trend.
"We can't just let it go, we must retaliate and send warships to retaliate." The middle-aged man with a big belly shouted loudly.
"Retaliation, how to retaliate? Lei Weidong can buy the essence of the Black Sea Fleet, including aircraft carriers and cruisers. Its strength even exceeds that of the mainland. How many warships do we need to send to crush it?" Some people objected to the middle-aged man's proposal.
"What's so great about aircraft carriers? It's not like we don't have aircraft carriers." The middle-aged man said loudly, "Send out the main force of the fleet, and then contact Yingjiang's Seventh Fleet. Mao Xiong's aircraft carrier is nothing, just crush it."
"If we let Ying-chan's Seventh Fleet take action, will Xiangjiang still be our territory?"
"It is no longer our territory. The Governor of Hong Kong and Mrs. M died inexplicably. The society was drained by Lei Weidong. The judiciary has also been taken away. Now even the traffic rules have to be changed.
Coupled with the defunct HSBC Bank, Hong Kong is no longer the jewel in the Queen's crown! "The middle-aged man retorted, "Since it is no longer in our hands and we still care about what to do, why not add more obstacles to the mainland and let them know how powerful the British Empire is - boom! "
Just when the middle-aged man was so impassioned that everyone was excited and ready to send troops to teach Lei Weidong a lesson, a huge explosion suddenly came from outside.
"This, this is!"
Everyone who ran to the windows to look out because of the huge explosion was immediately stunned by what they saw.
London, which had been at peace for decades, has re-entered a state of war. Missiles flying from nowhere roared over London, contacting ground targets from time to time, turning buildings into ruins, and raising dust that covered the sky. Living.
"Where is our army? Where is our army? How can we let the enemy break into London? Quickly, contact the army headquarters and ask them to dispatch immediately to defend our capital." The Prime Minister shouted.
