Within the Tengshe Legion Command, Li Pinxian introduced Wang Maoru to the military deployment of Dongji Province, and introduced the situation of the Japanese army to the west, and how China could annihilate the Japanese army stationed in Dongji Province in one fell swoop if there was a war against Japan.

Li Pinxian believed that the Japanese army was extremely honest in winter. Because winter battles were not good for Japan, after the Americans handed over Vladivostok to the Chinese, Japan had to carefully consider the possibility of capturing Vladivostok. Of course, it was not a matter of friendship for the Americans to hand over Vladivostok to the Chinese army. The fourth fleet of the Japanese Navy was stationed here, which led to a serious uneven firepower comparison between China and Japan. If they handed over the fortress to the Japanese, once China and Japan started a war, the Chinese army would be blown into pieces by the huge fortress guns and naval warship guns. Therefore, in order to cause trouble between China and Japan, the Americans handed over the Vladivostok fortress half sold and half sent to the Chinese side.

Of course, China has taken a big advantage. With this fortress, the Japanese fleet and the Chinese army are considered to be half a dozen in firepower, but when it comes to real fighting, the fortress cannons are long but cannot move. The Japanese Fourth Fleet can move, and China does not even have a torpedo boat in Vladivostok, so the winner is not decided. However, after winter, the situation will become different. The warships in winter are slower in speed, and Crab Port is not an unfreezing port. If the Japanese fleet really stays here, it will become a living target for the fortress cannons. Therefore, for safety, Japan will also transfer the Fourth Fleet back to Japan's mainland.

Li Pinxian believed that if China and Japan had a battle, Japan would definitely choose to take the summer in this battle. If China had a battle, it would definitely take the winter, and the Japanese fleet could choose to land in many places. China was not able to defend it. In addition to defending Vladivostok at the beginning of the war, the Japanese army would enter Chiang from the north and then defend Dongji Province. Therefore, it is crucial to defend Miao Street. If Vladivostok guards the south and Miao Street in the north, the Japanese fleet would not be able to enter. But the reality is that the Russians spent a lot of money to build a fortress in Vladivostok. However, it was not built on Miao Street. If China wanted to build a Miao Street fortress like Vladivostok, it would have to spend more than 20 million silver dollars.

After hearing this, Wang Maoru shook his head repeatedly. Now the government really can't afford this money, so let's forget it. Li Pinxian then said that there is another way to set up mines in the fortress, which is to lay out mines in the Huntong River. The mines are cheap, and killing an opponent's warship with one shot is absolutely cost-effective. Wang Maoru said you can do the specific method. But remember one thing: Save money, save money, or save money.

At this moment, the general strike that had been brewing for a long time in Hong Kong began. It turned out that the Chinese seafarers in Hong Kong had been doing the same job as the crew of other countries for a long time. However, their salary was pitifully low, especially the lazy and stupid Indian seafarers, not to mention the white seafarers who were tall and only knew how to command others. Their salary was less than 1/5 of that of white seafarers. They were often humiliated, beaten, scolded, and deducted wages. They were threatened with no reason at any time. Therefore, the Chinese seafarers in Hong Kong were unreasonably rejected for the third time to make an offer to increase their wages to the investors. The Chinese seafarers in Hong Kong could not bear it anymore and began a general strike under the leadership of the joint seafarers of the joint seafarers. In just one week, the scale of the strike expanded rapidly, and seafarers returned to Guangzhou from Hong Kong. The various trade unions in Guangzhou gave Hong Kong seafarers active support and assistance.

The British Hong Kong government obviously did not expect that seafarers would react so much. At this time, Wang Maoru went south to inspect, which made Chinese seafarers more courageous. In order to avoid criticism at this time, the British Hong Kong government promised a salary increase for Hong Kong seafarers.

However, after Wang Maoru inspected Sichuan, the British and Hong Kong suddenly repent, especially China's decision to send troops to intervene in the Russian civil war to attack Talizin. This move further aroused the British government's great dissatisfaction with the Chinese government. This dissatisfaction eventually led to the British authorities' use of discord, intimidation and threatening measures to treat the strikers' seafarers, declared the seafarers' union an "illegal group", sent armed military and police to implement martial law, closed the seafarers' union club, and arrested the strikers' leaders, which further aroused the righteous indignation of the seafarers and the vast majority of workers.

On October 1, 1922, workers from all walks of state-owned enterprises, banks, shipbuilding and other industries in Hong Kong jointly held a general alliance strike, with the number increasing to more than 100,000. This is the highest strike in Hong Kong since March. The strike struggle has paralyzed all shipping in Hong Kong, interrupted traffic in the city, and production has stopped. On October 4, the strikers returned to Guangzhou and passed through Shaguo Village, and were shot and attacked by British military and police, killing 6 people and injuring hundreds of people, creating the "Shatin Massacre" that shocked the whole country.

Although the Shatin tragedy was postponed seven months from history, the conflict between the British and Hong Kong governments and Chinese workers has been accumulated over a long period of time will eventually erupt, just because China's unified relationship has been postponed.

After the Shatin tragedy, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Chinese government. Chinese Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, contrary to the norm, directly announced to the outside world that he would support the strike activities of all sectors in Hong Kong and condemn the Shatin tragedy. They condemned the Hong Kong and British governments and asked the Hong Kong and British government to apologize. The Kirin Corps stationed in the Guangdong-Guangdong Military Region also immediately sent troops to the Sino-Hong Kong border to accept fleeing workers and refugees. Chinese Ministry of Defense spokesman Zhang Kui'an declared to the outside world that the Ministry of Defense absolutely supports the reasonable request of Chinese workers, and they will support the 200,000 silver dollar living allowance for strikers, hoping that the strikers will continue to fight.

At the same time, Fang Hongxin, the Youth Promotion Association, seized the opportunity and believed that when it was seized at this time, the development of the Youth Promotion Association in the lower class, especially the workers and handicraftsmen, imitated the Russian Bolsheviks, grasped the hearts of the vast majority of the people, and absorbed party members. Uraji felt that there was great potential, so he agreed with Fang Hongxin's suggestion. Therefore, Liu Enge, the leader of the Youth Promotion Association, announced his support for the strike workers in Hong Kong on behalf of the six million members of the Youth Promotion Association. At the same time, the Youth Promotion Association hoped that workers from all over the south could unite and boycott British goods, and all staff working in British companies went on strike at the same time.

A public speech by the Youth League Promotion Association immediately resonated with many Chinese workers. They had no way to support Hong Kong workers. Under the advocacy of the Youth League, the boycott activities against the UK gradually began. This was a boycott activity that swept across South China. After boycotting Japanese goods, the Chinese boycott movement seemed to be more mature and clever. They did not marche and demonstrate, nor did they destructive activities, but just quietly bypassed the shops opened by the British. China's boycott activities unexpectedly gave Japanese merchants a surprise. After all, some instruments cannot be bought from the UK and must be purchased from other countries. American goods are too expensive, German goods cannot be bought in China because of sanctions, and French goods are not as good as Japanese goods, so Japanese goods suddenly come back to life, which many Japanese people did not expect.

Wang Maoru, who was in Vladivostok, was extremely angry after hearing the news about the Sha Tin tragedy, but he could not speak nonsense at this position. If he impulsively spoke irrationally, it would likely cause diplomatic conflicts between China and Britain. Therefore, Wang Maoru secretly sent Zhang Kui'an to represent the National Defense Forces to express his support for Chinese workers to fight for rights in Hong Kong for the second time, and strongly condemned the rude and cold-blooded Hong Kong and the British government, demanding the Hong Kong and British government to compensate the families of the murdered workers. He secretly called on the Chinese people to reject all British products - instead, it brought a glimmer of vitality to Japanese goods. The Japanese government is worried that it will not open the Chinese market.

In fact, whether it was Tang Shaoyi's or Zhang Kui'an, the object of their condemnation was very clear, Hong Kong and British local governments. Yes, they did not directly attack the British government, but instead issued the Sha Tin tragedy around the world and published it in newspapers from various Western countries, especially in the United States, which aroused great dissatisfaction among the American people with Britain. As a former British colony, the United States was very sensitive to the title of colonial government. Of course, the dissatisfaction of the Americans was limited to cursing. In the eyes of the Americans, the whole world was hell, as long as the United States was on earth, it was enough. At this time, the isolationism of the United States had gradually been revealed.

Instead of using force, the Chinese government adopted a peaceful approach to oppose the British government - this seemed as timid as a mouse, but in fact, compared with the strength of the British Empire at this time, it was as if the American Empire in the past century had too much difference in national strength and was incomparable to Pakistan.

However, the current China is completely different from China in history. China has already gained a certain voice in the world through negotiations, treaties, and war means - a country with a population of 440 million, the power after the reunification is very terrible. (In history, the rise of the Soviet Union and the rise of the republic after the reunification mark the huge power brought by the unified country) The first reason why China can achieve its current status internationally is because China's stability is the result of checks and balances between all parties, and the second important reason is that China helped them resist the progress of the Bolshevik Party. Only the Chinese army went deep into Russia and fought a fierce battle with the Bolshevik army.

The large-scale protests finally achieved results, and public opinion in Western countries began to support the experience of Chinese workers. British Prime Minister Andrew Bonalau called Stubb Stubb to Hong Kong Governor Stubb Stubb for smearing the British Empire and asking him to deal with the matter immediately. Stubb then felt that the situation was not going well. He didn't care about the feelings of the Chinese, but the British Empire's attitude towards him made him extremely nervous. So Stubb immediately stated that he would increase the wages of workers by 50% and equal the salary of Indian workers, and reimburse the wages of workers during the strike, compensate the families of the dead workers for fifty pounds per household, equivalent to 400 silver dollars, and told the injured that all medical expenses would be paid and 40 silver dollars per person for nutrition.
