"Your Majesty, the Governor, is in trouble. Our positions were destroyed in many places. The Tenglong Army's warships were too thick and they were hit by one of our coastal defense guns. It's like nothing happened."
"Their warships are running so fast that we have no way to aim at them."
"It all depends on luck!"
"Robert, didn't you vow an hour ago that you would teach the Tenglong Army a lesson?"
"Didn't you say that your troops can hold on for a year?"
"It's only been an hour, can you tell me?"
"It's all my fault, Lord Governor. I underestimated our opponent. The Tenglong Army is too powerful. We have suffered thousands of casualties."
"Those Chinese soldiers have asked for a ceasefire. They don't want to fight. They are willing to surrender!"
"Our British soldiers have suffered more than 500 casualties."
"Forget it, order a truce and discuss with the other side. It seems we can't defend this island."
"yes!"
…
"There is a truce across from the Grand Governor. He should be negotiating with us!"
"Why did you go there earlier? Now that we want to negotiate, you better do it. I'll go to the back and wait for the results of your negotiation."
"If they want to leave at their own expense, we will find an English merchant ship for them to take them home."
"The premise is that they leave all their property behind and pay the freight themselves through negotiation with the merchant ship."
"If they don't agree, we'll keep fighting."
"yes."
Soon Kennedy personally brought people to the battleship Zheng Chenggong.
"Hello, I am the British Ambassador to Hong Kong. My name is Arthur Edward Kennedy. You can call me Kennedy."
"Hello, I am Zheng Yong, commander of the Taipei Fleet of the Tenglong Empire."
"You are Zheng Yong. I have heard many stories about you."
"The first total annihilation of the French Cochin China Fleet and the second total annihilation of the French Cochin China Fleet seemed to have your shadow."
"The last time your Tenglong Kingdom signed an unfriendly treaty with Japan, it was you who signed it."
"It seems that His Excellency Governor Kennedy knows me very well. Since you know me so well, you also know that my appetite is not small."
"Tell me, what do you want to do with the truce this time? Hurry up and agree to go back. I don't agree with anything you say. I just want to continue fighting."
"I guess there aren't many of you on the island, right?"
"How long can you say you can hold on? Everything you have on the island belongs to us."
"Commander Zheng, you don't have to scare me."
"I'm not afraid of war. I used to be a soldier. This ceasefire is just for the sake of the lives of my soldiers. It's not that I'm afraid of you."
"Oh, then please come back, Your Majesty the Governor, our soldiers are going to continue the attack."
"you……"
"Your Majesty the Governor, what's going on? If you're not afraid of us, just keep fighting!"
"Hmph, Commander Zheng, please tell me how we can stop attacking our Xiangjiang."
"Bah, shameless, how dare you say that, you Xiangjiang."
"This is our Xiangjiang. It has been here since ancient times. Damn it, a bandit stayed in someone else's house for two days. Does he really think he is the master?"
"Aren't you English so shameless? In my opinion, you Chinese shouldn't be cunzai!"
"Commander Zheng, after all, you are the commander of a country's naval fleet. Please don't be so reckless and don't speak dirty words!"
"That's all I want you to take care of!"
"Kennedy, let me tell you, you have only one choice today, surrender unconditionally. We will find your English merchant ship for you, and you can negotiate the cost of return."
"Except for two sets of clothes, you can take away nothing else from Xiangjiang. We will search you."
“All jewelry must be left on everyone’s body.”
"If you agree, we'll sign the treaty. If you don't, we'll continue fighting."
"You have been a master for so long, I really hope you don't agree, so I will let you go to the construction site to experience the fun of moving bricks."
"You are left without enough to eat, without warm clothes, and ordered around by people you once looked down upon."
"Hahaha, I feel happy just thinking about it."
"Asshole, you are an asshole. I didn't expect that the commander of a country's fleet would be such an asshole."
"Commander Zheng, let me tell you right now, it is impossible, absolutely impossible for us British people to surrender unconditionally."
“Not only will we not surrender unconditionally, we will not return Xiangjiang Island and nearby islands.
"Xiangjiang Island was ceded to us by the Qing government with a signature and a pledge, and it is already our inherent territory."
"We have occupied it for so long and done so much infrastructure construction, there is no way we can just give up."
"Jennedy, let me tell you, Xiangjiang and its affiliated islands are the inherent territory of our Tenglong Empire."
"We will resolutely safeguard territorial integrity and national dignity. If you don't agree, we will beat you until you agree."
"Okay, let's wait and see!"
Both parties had their own opinions during the negotiations and could not reach a consensus.
The atmosphere gradually became tense and the negotiations reached a deadlock.
In the end, both sides decided to abandon negotiations and continue to use force to resolve the dispute.
Kennedy and his negotiating team left the battleship Zheng Chenggong and returned to the bank of the Hong Kong River in a small boat.
Soon the Tenglong Army continued to bombard the British artillery positions.
After Kennedy returned to his position, Robert asked: "How are the negotiations going, Commander?"
In fact, they knew something was not going well when they saw Kennedy's expression.
Kennedy saw that there were Chinese soldiers here, so he said in Chinese: "The person I am negotiating with is Zheng Yong, the commander of the Taipei Fleet of the Tenglong Empire."
"He asked us British people to withdraw from Xiangjiang unconditionally and confiscated all our property in Xiangjiang."
"You can only take two sets of clothes, and the clothes cannot be any cultural relics."
"In addition, all Chinese soldiers will be held as prisoners and used as free labor to build roads for the Tenglong Army."
"I can only wait to die on the construction site for the rest of my life."
"His family property will also be confiscated."
"I did not agree to their request. Soldiers, let's fight for ourselves and our interests."
"Fight, fight, fight..."
"fight, fight, fight..."
After Kennedy finished speaking, both the British and Chinese soldiers were very angry.
Rather die than surrender and fight to the end.
There are not many coastal defense forts in England, and many of them are very old.
Most of the forts were destroyed by the Tenglong Army.
The two fleets have arrived at the port and are guarding the vicinity of the port. The troop transport ship is quickly approaching the port.
Li Feng, commander of the 18th Army, led a division and began to land on the beach.
Kennedy called on the other side to start a strong attack and asked Robert to organize his forces to counterattack.
We must not let the Tenglong Army go to the island.
But the Tenglong Army was covered by warships, as well as heavy machine guns and light machine guns.
The forces organized by Robert were driven back again and again.
Seeing more and more people landing from the Tenglong Army, Kennedy began to panic.
The combat strength of the Tenglong Army is so abnormal that they are simply inhuman. How can they be so strong?
