"Chairman, there is no time. We have to leave. If it is later, it will be too late." Seeing that Taipan, the chairman of HSBC Bank, was unwilling to let the bank evacuate.

Zheng Haiquan, the Chinese with the highest position in HSBC, glanced out the window and found that the tank had arrived outside the building, and the muzzle had been raised high. He waited for the time to come and immediately advised him earnestly.

"You can't leave. This building is the face of our HSBC Bank. Once the face collapses, it will have a greater impact on the bank than the treasury. A run will cause the bank to go bankrupt."

Hearing that Zheng Haiquan asked the chairman to order the employees in the building to evacuate, Director Yiguilao was unhappy and retorted loudly:

After all, this is an empire that cannot be defeated by the sun. Even if it declines, it must maintain the arrogance of a big shot. Not to mention that this is Xiangjiang, a colony where the sun never sets, and the people of the Eagle Kingdom are naturally superior to others.

If you run away after being threatened, you will lose all face as a gentleman.

"The army robbed the vault because of the gold. The gold and foreign exchange in the vault will drive them crazy, but what do we have here? There are so many people in one building. Bombing it will do no harm at all.

If the building is really blown down, the matter will be a big deal. Even if they hide in the ends of the earth and have the support of big shots from the beautiful country, they will be kicked out and used as scapegoats."

"The bombardment of the HSBC Building is indeed unnecessary and the possibility of threat is relatively high.

But a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. If the other party fires a few rounds at the building, we will be in danger. We should let everyone evacuate. There are only a few minutes left. If we don't evacuate, it will be too late."

Seeing that the ghost guy didn't want to back down for the sake of face, Zheng Haiquan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. How long has it been since he still cared about face? The face of the Empire that the Sun Never Sets has long been ruined by you unscrupulous descendants.

In the past, John Bull was so majestic that he would fight whoever he wanted. Even Yingjiang was defeated by his men. He even burned Yingjiang's presidential palace in a battle.

Why is the White House called the White House?

It was because during the War of 1812, the Eagles took advantage of Washington's lack of troops and used their powerful navy to launch a surprise attack, easily occupying Washington.

Because all the Yingjiang officials had fled, the Yingguo people only got an empty city.

Because he suffered some attacks while stationed, General Ross, who led the team, ordered the fire to be set on fire in order to retaliate against the burning of the Parliament Building in Toronto a few years ago.

The fire first burned down the Capitol Hill. At that time, the main building of the Capitol Hill was still under construction, and the interior of the two houses of Congress, including the Library of Congress, was damaged.

Next, the Eagle Countryers headed northwest along Pennsylvania Avenue to the Presidential Palace.

That night, the burning of the Presidential Palace was just like the burning of the Old Summer Palace. In order for the fire to burn until the next day, the British soldiers added fuel. The raging fire could be clearly seen as far away as Baltimore.

Fortunately for the Old Summer Palace, heavy rain fell in Washington the next day, extinguishing most of the flames and thus saving most of the Presidential Palace buildings.

After the war, the Presidential Palace began to be renovated. In 1817, in order to cover up the traces of the fire, President Monroe ordered the exterior walls to be painted with a layer of white paint, thus giving the Presidential Palace the nickname the White House.

The people of the Eagle Country were so powerful at this time, but because of World War I and Hans' struggle in World War II, the Eagle Country declined and became the follower of his former younger brother Eagle Sauce. From John Bull to the Family Portrait Black Pepper Beef Fillet Set, he also had to play tricks.

prestige.

"What Lao Zheng said makes sense. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. Let's go to my house for a meeting. It's more secluded and we can talk freely." I looked at the time and found that the evacuation time given by the robbers was less than five minutes, and I felt in my heart.

The frightened chairman stood up and said.

Going to the chairman's house for a meeting is in Taiping Mountain, thousands of miles away from here. It can be said to be synonymous with escape. It's just beautiful in words, but it's the same in reality.

The chairman's relenting words made the senior executives of HSBC heave a sigh of relief, including the ghost guy who refuted Zheng Haiquan. If Ying Guogao's performance is really as upright and upright as he said, he is not afraid of death.

During the retreat at Dunkirk, the Gallic chickens would not have been allowed to die as rearguard troops.

"Hiss..."

"What sound?"

Just when everyone was about to leave this dangerous place, a very urgent and harsh sound came from outside.

"No, it's a cannonball!"

Xiangjiang has not experienced war for decades, and its response to danger has long been slow.

Although everyone was familiar with the rushing sound, they couldn't remember what it was. Zheng Haiquan, who often watched war movies, reacted.

This was the sound of flying cannonballs in movies and TV shows. He immediately shouted and lunged towards the door with all his strength.

Listening to the sound of the shells, the target should be the office of the chairman of HSBC Bank, which is where I am standing.

In this case, lying down is not an option.

Because this is dozens of stories high in the sky, not on the ground, a powerful artillery piece like a 155-caliber gun will smash the room and people lying on the floor with one shot.

The only chance of survival is to escape from the chairman's room and run as far as you can.

As Zheng Haiquan jumped out of the door, he heard a loud noise, and then a stream of air rushed over from behind, causing Zheng Haiquan's body to roll up like a toy.

It rolled until it reached the elevator entrance and stopped.

"Manager Zheng, are you okay?" Zheng Haiquan, who was knocked dizzy, was lucky. The attack just now only caused some injuries to his back, hands and feet.

Being supported by his subordinates, Zheng Haiquan stood up with great difficulty. Looking at the chairman's office that had become ruins, Zheng Haiquan said loudly with tears in his eyes,

"Get out of here quickly, get all employees off work, and leave the building as quickly as possible. The troops outside will really shell you."

"It was just a test of the artillery. If you don't leave the building yet, don't blame us for being rude. I will give you another fifteen minutes and leave the building immediately. When the time is up, thousands of artillery fire will begin."

Seeing the chairman's office, conference room, and manager's office in the HSBC building ablaze with black smoke, the temporary commander of the tank company shouted through the loudspeaker.

"Run!"

If there were still people who felt that the dialogue would not be open to discussion just now, and the ghost guys above did not say anything, they were worried about losing employees and could only stay at their jobs.

Now, let’s fire!

Although it was not known where the shell hit, everyone knew that the HSBC Building was hit by the shell from the gravel falling like raindrops and the shaking of the building just like an earthquake.

It wasn't just one shell. From the explosion just now, it was estimated that either three or four shells hit the building.

In this situation, who dares to block in the building and wait for death? Of course, they can run as fast as they can.

As for whether he will be fired.

I can't even save my life, and I'm still worried about what I'll do for a job.

"Don't take the elevator, take the stairs. There are too many people in the elevator and you can't get in." Looking at the crowd of people at the elevator door, a smart man shouted loudly.

"Yes, take the stairs. Taking the stairs is the fastest at this time." If you can work at HSBC, there is no one with a low IQ.

Everyone reacted.

The troops outside only gave everyone fifteen minutes to evacuate.

There are at least thousands of people in this building.

Usually, when you go to work, you arrive half an hour early. If you are unlucky, you will be late when you get to the office.

Now that everyone has to go downstairs within fifteen minutes, there is no need to consider the elevator. It is impossible to squeeze in. It is safer to just take the stairs.

"What, the HSBC Bank building was bombarded, and the offices of the chairman and shareholders were hit. Understand, we will go out immediately to bring those gangsters to justice."

After it was confirmed that the HSBC bank's vault had been hijacked, its headquarters building was bombarded, and many senior executives were killed by artillery fire, everyone in Guila, from the top governor to the bottom soldier, became angry.

What a shame!

Thanks to the all-pervasive paparazzi in Hong Kong, the huge robbery in Hong Kong, in which the army drove tanks and armored vehicles to rob the HSBC Bank, has spread all over the world.

This was the first time in peacetime. Even before, it was during wars. For example, the Japanese army robbed major banks in war zones and transported the foreign exchange and gold back to the country.

But this has never happened in peaceful times.

Although I don’t know where this army came from and whether it was the army of the Beautiful Country, the people of the Eagle Country were so embarrassed that they couldn’t pick it up.

In order to save face, we can only let the garrison take action and cooperate with the police to drive these robbers out. Even if they cannot be driven away, they must be trapped. The Zu family has already negotiated with the beautiful country.

Although the beautiful country does not admit that the troops who robbed the HSBC vault and bombarded the HSBC building are theirs, at the request of the ancestors, the beautiful country has ordered the aircraft carrier formation in Japan to dispatch.

It doesn't take much. In just 24 hours, the beautiful country's army can rush to Xiangjiang and cooperate with the Xiangjiang garrison to kill these audacious robbers.

"What's wrong with these ghosts? Why haven't they taken action? It's been almost an hour."

If the army robbed the HSBC bank's vault, and the ghost guy was so bad that he wanted to curse the army outside while eating, then the happiest people were the paparazzi in Xiangjiang and the reporters from major newspapers and TV stations.

For paparazzi and reporters, their favorite events are big events.

In particular, it can be said that large numbers of soldiers driving tanks and armored vehicles to rob treasury will not happen again in ten or even decades.

As long as you can get a little bit of information, it will attract attention. A little bit more important will not only increase the TV station's ratings, but also make the front page of tomorrow's newspaper.

Because now countless people around the world are sitting in front of the TV and paying attention to Hong Kong and the army robbing banks. Many people have even placed bets.

The odds of a successful robbery are three to one, and the odds of a failed robbery are one to three. From the odds, we can see that the bookmaker has no confidence in the Eagle Country people.

In order to obtain first-hand information,

Everyone began to work together separately, and some people were watching outside the vault to see when the gold would come out.

Some people also followed the tank company outside the HSBC Building and saw the army preparing to bombard the HSBC Building with a 155mm howitzer.

Others came to the entrance of the military camp to observe and determine when the ghost army would set off.

soon!

Under the governor's death order, even though he knew that the strength of the robbers was several times or even dozens of times greater than his own, the commander of the Eagle Army led his troops out of the military camp because there were reporters and paparazzi outside the military camp.

All the citizens of Xiangjiang saw this scene. The armored vehicle was followed by military trucks one after another.

"Why are there only armored vehicles and no tanks?" A paparazzi asked in a low voice as he looked at the vehicles driving out of the military camp.

"There used to be tanks. They seemed to be antiques left over from World War II. They were all phased out more than ten years ago. There was no war in Hong Kong, so why raise tanks? It was a waste." The older paparazzi next to him replied.

"Currently, Gui Lao's garrison only has a small number of armored vehicles. According to popular terms, they are light infantry."
