The Japanese devils during World War II were very crazy, and after their successful attack on Pearl Harbor, they successfully angered the United States, but they did not realize at the time that their actions were wrong, and soon in less than a day, they attacked Hong Kong again, and in just eighteen days, they occupied Hong Kong.
This place is related to us, this was originally China's land, but as early as 1842, the Qing government and the British signed the "Treaty of Nanjing", so Hong Kong was leased out, the lease period was ninety-nine years, when the Japanese attacked Hong Kong, although the lease period did not arrive, but our mainland people were also worried.
At that time, Britain was known as the Empire of the Rising Sun, as an old power, it was reasonable to say that the military strength was not bad, but it allowed the Japanese to capture this place in eighteen days, which was also very painful. However, Hong Kong is a city, and there is no danger to defend, the Japanese control the water source, Hong Kong naturally can not hold.
The point is that the British did not care about Hong Kong, the European battlefield was very chaotic at that time, the British could not take care of these distant colonies, and the British Prime Minister Churchill at the time believed that as long as Malaysia and Singapore were there, it was okay, but the result was that these two places could not be saved in the end.
There are many reasons why Hong Kong cannot be saved, the total number of defending troops at that time is only more than 10,000, but the Japanese army has dispatched 50,000 people, and the attack of the devils is very fierce, but there is a problem at this time, that is, Hong Kong is always returned to China, and the mainland has not helped?
Of course, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek also decided to send three divisions of troops to support the British army, and the vanguard troops had already engaged the devils in Shenzhen, and if the British were willing to cooperate and attack the Japanese devils, maybe Hong Kong could still be saved, but Churchill said that he would surrender quickly, so the governor of Hong Kong obediently surrendered.
In fact, Churchill's behavior is to feel weak-minded, after all, Hong Kong has not completely become British, what he is afraid of is that if the Chinese army sets foot on Hong Kong and still protects Hong Kong, then what should be done with the issue of Hong Kong's sovereignty?
And what he thought was that even if it was occupied by the Japanese, then in the future they would fight the Japanese again, but Hong Kong was originally Chinese territory, and if the Chinese army came and did not leave for various reasons, this matter would be more troublesome, and Hong Kong would not come back.
Churchill's behavior, although it satisfied his own wishes, but let the People of Hong Kong suffer a lot, the animal nature of the Japanese devils, has been fully displayed in the land of China, to Hong Kong is no exception, they show their cruel side.
