While his assistant was busy with publicity, Du Yuxin reported to his superiors about Ralf's forced search of Xia Hua Society.
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xia immediately held a press conference, severely criticizing the actions of the US military commander, Ralph, and demanding that the US government give Xia a satisfactory explanation.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Director of the Foreign Affairs Department held an emergency meeting with the U.S. Ambassador, appearing extremely serious and using unprecedentedly harsh language.
The Xia Kingdom's military also issued a statement to the outside world, indicating that it would make Ralph and the US military pay the price for their actions.
After learning about this from television news and other propaganda channels, people in mainland China were extremely angry and demanded that the government send troops to eliminate the US military presence and take back Hong Kong Island ahead of schedule.
In an instant, Ralph and the US military presence in China became universally reviled.
Mike was shocked that Ralph would do something so stupid, and he gave him a good scolding over the phone.
Ralph showed no leniency towards Mike, stating that his actions were carried out on orders from above.
With such a major incident occurring in Hong Kong, Chief Executive Mike is the first to bear responsibility and must take full account of it.
It's ridiculous that someone about to be fired dares to scold himself.
At 8 p.m., Hong Kong Island Consul General Mike held a press conference.
Hundreds of media reporters from Hong Kong Island have all arrived.
Many media outlets from mainland China, Taiwan, Asia, and Europe and America also came.
For a time, the world's attention was focused on Hong Kong Island, a city known as Asia's financial center.
Mike's expression was very serious, and those sitting next to him were almost all local Hong Kong officials.
The main problem is that most of the American officials are dead, resulting in a serious gap in leadership across various government departments.
Ralph also attended the press conference.
"Thank you very much to all the journalists for being here at this press conference."
"On behalf of the Hong Kong Island Government, I would like to express my deepest apologies for the terrorist incident that occurred last night. As Consul General, I am willing to take full responsibility."
"Next, Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong Island, Joe Ding-an, will brief on the relevant situation of this terrorist incident."
When he received Mike's call, Qiao Ding'an was almost furious.
That old bastard actually made me come forward to report it; it's like putting him on the hot seat.
However, the higher the rank, the more powerless one becomes, and Qiao Ding'an had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.
"At 11:22 p.m. last night, six armed helicopters attacked our Central Police Station. Under the bombardment of six missiles and thirty rockets, the Central Police Station was completely reduced to ruins, with six people killed and twelve seriously injured."
"At 11:26, after completing its bombing mission, the armed helicopter was on its way back when it was attacked by nearly a hundred rockets launched from three directions. The helicopter was shot down and all twelve pilots were killed."
"At the same time, the homes of more than ten government officials and more than twenty business people were attacked by rockets, resulting in 70 deaths and 132 serious injuries, including senior government officials such as the Secretary for Security of Hong Kong Island, the Deputy Secretary for Security, the Chief Secretary for Administration, and the Deputy Secretary for Security."
"After nearly 24 hours of investigation, we discovered that all six armed helicopter pilots were officers of the U.S. military, including two lieutenant colonels and three majors. For some unknown reason, they took off from the military airfield at 11:10 a.m. The service personnel at the time not only did not stop them, but also helped them load missiles and rockets onto the helicopters."
......
Ralph, who was sitting next to Mike, was furious when he heard this.
Damn it, isn't this just digging my own grave?
Qiao Ding'an continued, "Based on reasonable speculation, we believe that the six armed helicopters must have received orders from above to carry out a certain mission. However, whether the twelve pilots were ordered to bomb the Central Police Station or whether they tampered with the mission themselves, we police have no authority to investigate because it involves the military."
"As for who used rockets to attack helicopters, government officials, and business people, we are intensifying our investigation. However, the perpetrators did it too cleanly, and so far, our police have not found any valuable leads."
“Here, I earnestly request all citizens of Hong Kong Island to provide us with clues.”
This report was concise, straightforward, and did not cover up anything; it said everything that should and should not have been said.
Qiao Ding'an's performance was impeccable, winning him the favor of many reporters.
Mike said, "Next, please have General Ralph report on the garrison situation."
Ralph coughed and said, "Wait a minute. I'd like to ask Chief Joe, where did you get the information that the orderly helped transport the missiles and rockets to the helicopter? Did the orderly himself admit it?"
Qiao Ding'an said, "We have all the video footage from 10:30 to 11:10 last night. A total of twenty orderly soldiers provided assistance, and the video footage is very clear."
"General Ralph, we will provide you with their photos after the press conference. Please be able to hand them over to the police."
Ralph was dumbfounded.
He never expected that Qiao Ding'an had a recording.
That doesn't make sense. Weren't the surveillance videos inside the military base deleted a long time ago?
Where did Qiao Ding'an find the video?
Little did he know that these videos were obtained by Zhang Huan, Shen Dong's intelligence chief, through several undercover agents within the garrison.
These undercover agents all had something on them that Zhang Huan could use against them, so they had no choice but to obey his orders.
Of course, Zhang Huan did not treat them unfairly.
After obtaining the video, Zhang Huan gave each of them $100,000.
A reporter stepped forward and asked, "General Ralph, in your interview this morning, you said it was a mutiny in the barracks. But now the police have produced evidence that they were carrying out a mission. How do you explain this?"
Ralph's mind raced, and he said, "That doesn't contradict it. They tampered with the mission."
"What mission are they on? Are they cracking down on pirates? Or bombing the Central Police Station? Or perhaps attacking American government officials?"
Ralph cursed inwardly, but said aloud, "Sorry, this is a military secret and cannot be disclosed to the public."
"General Ralph, your answer is not convincing at all. People aren't fools; they won't believe that twelve pilots would change their mission without any reason, especially since they bombed the Central Police Station. Mr. Shen Dong said that you bombed the Central Police Station solely to take his life. What do you think of this speculation?"
"Nonsense."
"Then why did you force your way into Xia Hua Society this afternoon? Wasn't it to arrest Mr. Chen?"
“We suspect that Shen Dong was responsible for last night’s terrorist attack. Otherwise, how could he have managed to dodge the bombing?”
