British Straits Colony, Penang, Governor's Office._èng·com has the fastest update-

As usual, Sir Artyang enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea in the bright equatorial tropical sunshine. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth gracefully, and then calmly picked up the Malacca Daily News. This newspaper is the only news daily in the colony, but it is also the worst-selling part of the colony. It is not as good as the "Thames News" copied by the British Post and Telecommunications Company.

However, as the governor of the Straits colony, he must support all local causes, including naturally maldeveloped news and communications. He hopes to promote this colonial newspaper better with his reputation.

Just after Sir Art Yang finished reading the front page news, it was the latest report about the Korean War. A South Asian servant came along the corridor to the balcony near the seaside and reported in a stereotyped voice: "Mr. Governor, Major Rohard, the captain of the Penang Security Team, was waiting in the hall. He said there was something very urgent to tell Mr. "

"Oh? Is it?" Sir Art Yang has heard a lot of "urgent" things recently, nothing more than remarks about the United Legion being in a hurry and India being in danger. But he knew very well that the United Legion was just a trap to lure the Chinese, and only those officers with insufficient authority would worry all day long.

He did not put down the newspaper, and then he slowly said, "Okay, please invite him in."

The attendant turned and left, not long after, he walked in with a middle-aged officer in a short-sleeved naval uniform.

Navy Major Rohard was transferred from India to the Straits Colony a month ago to maintain the security of all military facilities in Penang, but these are just superficial tasks. He had received rumors before leaving and would soon become a liaison officer for Australia. Although he was not sure what kind of contact to establish with Australia, considering the current international situation, this is definitely not a simple task.

At this time, he came to Sir Art Yang with a telegram that had just been copied, and said anxiously: "Sir, something happened, something happened in Hong Kong?"

Sir Artyang frowned slightly, immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Rohard handed the telegram to Sir Art Yang and said, "Yesterday afternoon, the Chinese suddenly launched an attack on Hong Kong. The Governor of Hong Kong has ordered the abandonment of Hong Kong and is currently taking a mail ship to Taiwan for temporary retreat."

Art Yang took the telegram and took a look, then sighed deeply. Although he had heard of the Hong Kong crisis for a long time, he was good friends with the current Hong Kong Governor Mei Hanli, and he had to care about his old safety no matter what. He didn't say anything for the time being, stood up and paced back and forth for a while, his face seemed very worried.

After waiting for a while, Rohard couldn't help it and said, "Sir, the Chinese people's power has penetrated the entire territory of Vietnam. This time the fall of Hong Kong has caused the power of our British Empire in Asia to be greatly reduced. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Chinese people use the springboards of Hong Kong and Vietnam to pose a greater threat to other forces in Asia."

Art Yang stopped, nodded slowly and said, "You are right. It is not scary to lose Hong Kong. What is scary is the further threat from the Chinese. I have also heard that the Chinese army in Vietnam is adjusting the direction of attack to the west, and the next step will inevitably be Myanmar and Siam. Once Siam is lost, our Straits colonies will be in danger."

Rohard said anxiously: "Are we doing nothing now? The Zu family didn't know what they were thinking. The United Legion was defeated and the Japanese did nothing. If this continues, we will definitely lose this war."

Art Yang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, the Zu family did nothing. It's just that it takes time. In short, we must strengthen our guard and also arrange ships to Taiwan to pick up Hong Kong personnel."

Rohard asked strangely: "Sir, what do you mean by the ancestors' family do not do nothing, what does it mean?"

As if you looked at Rohard, Ate Young said seriously: "You don't need to ask more about this matter. However, since you are the highest commander of the security team, it is best to speed up the recruitment of reserve troops during this period. Whether it is to support South Asia or surround our Straits colonies, this is an important matter."

Rohard sighed, his face gradually became solemn. He said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. I just happened to have another thing to notify Mr. I have another thing to notify Mr. The "Declaration on Anti-Collaboration" issued by the Queen of Vietnam has caused a lot of controversy in our jurisdiction. Not only the indigenous people of the Straits colonies have complained, but even the non-British soldiers of our security team have often gathered privately recently. The situation is so turbulent, and we can't believe these non-British people anymore."

After hearing these words, Art Yang couldn't help but be very surprised. As the colonial governor, the most worrying thing was that the colonial people were dissatisfied. This was not only a threat to the governor's authority, but also a threat to the British Empire.

"What? There is such a thing," Art Yang said seriously.

"Yes, sir, I'm sorry for this, but we can't predict this." Rohad shook his head helplessly and said.

Art Yang suddenly remembered that the newspaper of Malacca Daily News had also reported news about the ascension of the Vietnamese Empress ascendance to the throne. He couldn't help but feel upset that his support for the local cause of the colony has caused the bad habits in the colony.

"It seems that this matter cannot be delayed like this anymore. If you arrange the late boat ticket, I will write a letter and give it to you to take to Lion City." Art Yang said in a determined tone.

"Sir, I don't understand. Are you asking me to go to Lion City?" Rohard asked in confusion. This was too sudden for him. Although Lion City is part of the Straits Colony, his position is only the Penang security captain and has nothing to do with Lion City.

"You don't have to worry too much. When you arrive at Lion City, the horse will go to Mantes Naval Base and take my letter to find Major General Joseph. Then you will understand." Art Yang explained solemnly.

"Okay, I get it." Rohard nodded.
