In 1840, the First Ophiopogon War broke out, and the previous dynasty was defeated and forced to sign the Treaty of Jinling and ced the Port City to Britain. From then on, the Port City became a British colony.

After the founding of the Republic of China, due to its weak national strength, it seemed powerless to abolish the treaties such as Buping, including the Gangcheng, and could only maintain the status quo.

When the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the Hong Kong City became an important external window in the Republic of China. A large amount of materials were transported into the mainland through this place, and the Hong Kong City economy developed rapidly.

But the Hong Kong City society is still clearly divided into hierarchical structures. Not only are there a barrier or chain of contempt between the Westerners and the Republic of China, but also a chain of disdain between the Republic of China.

The elderly look down on newcomers, local look down on those who are not from other places, those who are on duty look down on those who have no status, and those who have rich look down on those who have no money.

With the greedy colonial government, the domineering gangs and the exploitative merchants and squires, the city became extremely chaotic.

The beauty and sorrow are the true portrayal of the Harbor City.

Zuo Chong and Gui Youguang set out from Shanghai on the Yankee. When they passed through Honolulu, they changed their identities and took a seaplane. They took 7 days to arrive at the Sheung Wan Pier in Hong Kong Island. Before they even walked out of the gate, they saw several thefts and violent clashes.

Gui Youguang, carrying the suitcase, became more vigilant and leaned slightly to the left side, while looking at wooden signs with various names written in the distance.

The Sheung Huan Wharf is not only the landing site of seaplanes, but also the destination for passenger ships along the coast of the Republic of China and Aocheng to the port city.

Due to the war, many refugees fled from the mainland every day. In order to find people, their local relatives and friends would write the names of the people they received on wooden signs.

After quickly scanning, Gui Youguang's eyes lit up, pointing to one of the signs and whispered to Zuo Chong. Then the two of them walked over quickly.

The person holding the sign was a young man in his twenties and thirties, tall and handsome. When he saw someone walking towards him, the other party immediately waved excitedly.

After passing through the crowded crowd, the two sides met smoothly. The young man bowed slightly and greeted warmly, with a very respectful tone.

"It's Bruce Lee and Mr. Jack Chen. I am Chao Hou from Wan'an Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Welcome to Hong Kong City."

Chao Hou?

Wan'an Chamber of Commerce and Industry?

When Zuo Chong heard this person's self-introduction, he raised his eyebrows and looked a little strange. Unexpectedly, their joint man turned out to be this future boss of Fenghu.

This person is not very famous, but his sons will be a storied figure in Hong Kong City in the future, especially his fourth son, who is even more famous.

As for the Wan'an Business Association, it is actually the Wan'an Bang. In order to make money legally and avoid being investigated, major gangs have registered legal companies in the Gangcheng Government Affairs Department, and are engaged in selling dog meat with the help of sheep.

In recent years, in order to escape war or find a livelihood, a large number of mainlanders have flocked to Hong Kong City. In just a few years, the population of Hong Kong City has soared by one million, social unrest has intensified, and various gangs have emerged and have gradually penetrated into all walks of life.

Using gangster identity as a cover is indeed a good choice, which not only allows you to arrange your time flexibly, but also makes it easier to collect intelligence.

Decades later, Chao Hou successfully won the Wan'an Gang, becoming a dynamic group with family operations, and also started a big business.

This is normal. It is natural that a professional intelligence officer is very simple to deal with a bunch of short mules. Does the other party have other ideas at this time?

Zuo Chong glanced at the guy who looked harmless and sighed in his heart that no one who could survive after the war was simple.

But this happened decades later. Now Chao Hou is just an ordinary agent at the Military Control Commission Port City Station. He nodded faintly and gave a secret code.

"Thank you, Mr. Chao, for coming to greet you. Are all the goods we need ready?"

"The 30 redwoods you need for your company are ready and you can see the goods at any time."

Chao Hou immediately replied, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. Although he did not know the identity of the visitor, the headquarters asked about the other party’s whereabouts three messages a day, and he was definitely not an ordinary person.

If something happened to the other party on the road, the gateway station must be implicated. Mazu blessed me, and finally Ping'an arrived.

Gui Youguang, who was standing by, quickly inspected the surrounding situation. Except for several Chinese police officers and red-headed Ah San, commonly known as "Big Head Green Clothes", they did not find any suspicion and quietly gave Zuo Chong a wink.

When connecting to a strange place, be vigilant at all times. Even if the other party knows the code, you should not take it lightly, because you cannot be sure whether the other party is a treacherous person.

Zuo Chong was still a little worried when he saw Gui Youguang's hint. After all, this place was the British territory. He pondered for a moment and raised his head and smiled at Chao Hou.

"Mr. Chao, don't worry about the goods. Can you please lead us to take a walk first?"

Chao Hou was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly, turned around and took Zuozhong Erren's dock outside the dock, and called a red rickshaw.

Gui Youguang put his luggage on and followed the coachman, while Zuo Chong and Chao Hou walked towards the eastern part of Hong Kong Island along the gray road marked "Gloucester Road".

"Mr. Bruce Lee, it was the Queen's Hotel next to Morrison Street, and where we are now, ten years ago, was still a vast ocean."

Walking on one side is the sea and on the side of the Western-building side, Chao Hou pointed to the building more than ten stories high in the distance, and then pointed at his feet, and talked about the process of land reclamation in the port city.

The port city has a small area and has undergone land reclamation many times since its opening. Even now, there are still small-scale land construction projects under construction.

Zuo Chong nodded slightly and asked some questions casually. He passed by the Harbor City many times in recent years, but he always came and left in a hurry. He really didn't know much about the local situation.

The two of them chatted while walking and gradually became familiar. Chao Hou was not as nervous as he was at the beginning, and he relaxed a lot in his words.

Perhaps he wanted to please the head of the headquarters, he also took the initiative to tell his experience and basic information in order to leave a deep impression on Zuo Chong.

According to what he said, he was from Lufeng, Guangdong Province. He joined the Military Control Commission in the 20th year of the Republic of China and received short-term training. After the war started, he was ordered to come to the port city to lurk.

His current position is the deputy captain of the Gangcheng Station Action Team. This time, Shancheng asked to send a linker who was familiar with the local situation, and Gangcheng Station asked him to come to greet him.

"Are you a Lufeng person?"

Hearing this, Zuo Chong suddenly asked Chao Hou in Fulao dialect, the so-called Fulao dialect is the dialect in Hailufeng area of ​​Guangdong Province, which was collectively called Chaoshan dialect in later generations.

This language is very difficult to learn. Not to mention foreigners, even people from Guangdong Province are difficult to learn without learning for a long time. There is a local saying, "Fu Lao Fu Lao, learn until you grow old", which is enough to prove the difficulty of mastering the Fu Lao's words.

If there is a problem with Chao Hou's identity, other things can be disguised, and the language and accent will definitely not be disguised, unless the other party is a traitor who rebels after being arrested.

But along the way, Zuo Chong observed carefully. Chao Hou's eyes were clear and his expression was free. No scars were found in his arms, neck and other parts, and there were no suspicious people nearby. The possibility of the other party being a traitor was very small.

So as long as Chao Hou can speak the words of Fu Lao, there will be basically no problem with his identity. Of course, there will be no problem for the time being. All he can trust in Hong Kong City is Gui Youguang.

When Chao Hou heard the familiar hometown dialect, he immediately replied in the skillful Fulao words, and then he realized that it was the head of the headquarters who was testing himself.

"Haha, don't get me wrong. It's not bad to be cautious in our industry. Just call me mr Li in the future, don't mention the full name."

Zuo Chong explained with a smile, then looked down at his watch, and found that he had been shopping for more than an hour. He was tired and wanted to go back to the hotel to rest.

Chao Hou nodded immediately, called three rickshaws and led Zuo Chong and the other two to a mid-range hotel run by the British in Causeway Bay. Fortunately, it was not the "Lijing Hotel" run by locals.

Zuo Chong was very satisfied with this arrangement. The Wan'an Chamber of Commerce was just a small gang in Hong Kong City. If its members arranged for guests to stay in high-end hotels, it would be suspicious.

Living in British shops is also safe. The current police officers in the Harbor City are darker and more greedy than those of the "Money Empire" period, and often blackmail the people who flee.

If you really want to meet a bandit, these people will run faster than anyone else. "ab┴cd, big head, green clothes, can't catch people, and you can't blow it" describes the police officers in this era.

As intelligence personnel, they will definitely not be afraid of wasteful objects without these guns. However, after all, the port city is not the territory of the government, and they have important tasks. It is better to have less than more things.

After registering with a fake passport, Chao Hou led the two of them to the door of the room and immediately offered to say goodbye. Since he had received someone, he must report to the upper level to inform Shancheng immediately.

Before leaving, he left a number saying that if there is an emergency, he could contact us by phone. Compared with Shanghai, Jinling and Shancheng, the telephone networks in Hong Kong are more dense, and communication is much more convenient.

"Mr Li, your friend has prepared a magazine in the room, which may contain content that you are interested in. Goodbye." Chao Hou whispered before leaving.

"goodbye."

Zuo Chong smiled and said goodbye, watching Chao Hou's left behind, then curled his smile, nodded to Gui Youguang with an expressionless face, and the big bald man immediately followed.

After working in intelligence for a long time, I became accustomed to manipulating everything. I suddenly came to a strange place and naturally felt insecure. Although Chao Hou was not suspicious, I had to touch it.

When Gui Youguang disappeared into the corridor, left reopened the door and walked into the room. The first thing he did was to check all the devices connecting wires to see if there were any eavesdropping devices.

After confirming that the room was clean, he pulled the blinds and turned on the table lamp and sat on the stool, hid in the shadows outside the light, and flipped through the newspapers and magazines on the table.

Among them is a slightly outdated book "Time Magazine", with an old man with a Prussian-style beard looking forward with a smile.

"As the 'model governor' of the Republic of China, he actually had an independent kingdom. Although there was still food shortage in the area, he still brought prosperity to 11 million people. In the Republic of China, they were the richest, so he became outstanding."

"His hobbies are not women, wine, opium, or even money, but quality roads, textile industry, army, police stations, cattle, horses, ploughing tools, poultry, fertilizers - everything that can bring direct benefits to his fellow villagers."

Looking at the extremely praising words in the magazine, thinking about Hasegawa Ryosuke's telegram "A guest will arrive in the northwest in ten days, and the destination port city will be in the destination", a sharp look flashed in Left Hung's eyes and he gently closed the magazine.
