Shen Dong laughed and said, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but the military's bombing of the Central Police Station and the killing of their own people in the struggle for power have left your government with absolutely no credibility in the hearts of the people of Hong Kong. Hong Kong has always been based on the rule of law, but in the end, you yourselves have engaged in terrorist acts. It's ironic."
Angelia stared intently at Shen Dong and said, "Mr. Shen, you should know more about the deaths of those American officials and businessmen than anyone else, right?"
Shen Dong said, "Like the citizens of Hong Kong Island, all I know is that they died at the hands of your own people."
Angelia is known for her good temper in the U.S. government, but this time she was really angered by Shen Dong.
This guy is absolutely shameless.
"So, you're saying there's nothing more we can talk about, is that right?"
Angelia forced down her anger and said...
Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "My bottom line is an armed force of 800 men, equipped with ten helicopters and a number of rockets. You can send people to Tengfei Security Company to monitor them. I guarantee that as long as my safety is not in question, they will not be mobilized."
Angelia said in a deep voice, "We cannot believe your assurances."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I don't believe your guarantees at all. After all, you have a criminal record. Ms. Angelia, this incident won't end here. You think you can just find a couple of scapegoats and be done with it? Don't be ridiculous."
Angelia asked, "What do you want?"
Shen Dong said, "A lie is a lie, and it can never become the truth. I think you should call Chief Executive Vic; I believe he will agree to my request. Otherwise, I will not let Chief Executive Mike step down peacefully."
Shen Dong has the evidence of Vic and Mike's bribery and corruption through Hang Seng Bank.
Shen Dong's last words were for Angelina to remind Vic that if Mike couldn't step down peacefully, neither could Vic.
Angelia gave Shen Dong a deep look and said, "Please wait a moment."
After leaving the reception room, Angelia, led by a staff member from the Pengcheng government, arrived at an empty conference room and dialed Vic's number.
A full half hour passed before Angelia returned.
“Mr. Shen, we can agree to you having your own armed forces on Hong Kong Island, but you must agree to our three conditions.”
Tell me about it.
"First, the number of people cannot exceed five hundred, and their relevant information must be handed over to our Hong Kong Island government for record keeping."
"Can."
"Second, there can be no heavy weapons such as destroyers, fighter jets, bombers, and tanks, and all equipment must be registered."
"That's for sure. The weapons and equipment I buy from the North Soviet Union will not be brought to Hong Kong Island, so as not to cause any panic."
"Third, we need to send an observation team of thirty people. You cannot leave the security company with weapons without the consent of our Hong Kong Island government."
“A 30-person observation team? That won’t do, that’s too many. Our security company can’t handle that many people.”
"These thirty people are divided into three classes, with only ten people in each class."
"You can only observe and report, you can't touch our things. In particular, you must be clean. If even one person steals anything, the entire observation team is fired."
"Can."
"Then let's sign the contract."
Soon, Shen Dong signed an agreement with Angelia, and Shen Dong finally had his own personal armed force on Hong Kong Island.
Despite some restrictions, he is the first person on Hong Kong Island to possess such weaponry.
In the evening, the Pengcheng government hosted a banquet for Angelia, with Shen Dong in attendance.
The two sides drank and chatted happily, showing no trace of the confrontation they had had in the afternoon.
At 11 a.m. the next day, Shen Dong and Angelia rode in the same car back to Hong Kong Island.
The two gave an interview to reporters in front of the Hong Kong Island Government Building.
The Hong Kong Island government leaked the information in advance so that reporters could see the friendly relationship between Shing Tung and Angela's new government.
"Mr. Shen, the government has already released the full story of the incident to the public. What are your thoughts on this?"
"I see with my eyes."
"Pfft"
"Hahaha"
The originally serious meeting was made to laugh by a single sentence from Shen Dong.
Shen Dong said, "I was just joking, mainly to ease the tension. I really admire the Hong Kong government for daring to admit its shortcomings. If it were me, I would never admit it, even if you beat me to death."
"Many people say that the US government deliberately found two or three scapegoats to give the outside world an explanation."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Then I want to know who those three are going to die for? Chief General Mike? It seems he has already resigned because of this. The other American officials simply don't have the ability to make those three take the blame. I think everyone must have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and not just follow the crowd."
“Mr. Shen, some people are speculating that this incident is related to the U.S. government, and it is very likely that they gave the troops stationed here an order to eliminate you.”
Shen Dong pointed to Angelia beside him and said, "I had the same concern, but Ms. Angelia dispelled it for me. She assured me that this incident had nothing to do with the US government, and that she would strictly control the officers and soldiers stationed in the US in the future to ensure that the same thing would never happen again. I believe her."
"Did you return to Hong Kong with the newly appointed Angela Leong to show everyone that you have reconciled with the American government?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "My friend, please don't try to trap me. I have never had any conflict with the U.S. government, so there is no such thing as reconciliation. I am here with Consul General Angela to give you this interview so that I can tell you that I have great trust in the Hong Kong Island government. I also believe that Consul General Angela is capable of leading the six million citizens of Hong Kong Island to build a more prosperous city."
