Episode 88. Taking control of Guangdong Province

Hong Kong International Airport.

Early in the morning, just before the sun rises.

“As you all know, special management routes will be operated for approximately one week starting today.”

Airport staff gathered for a brief briefing.

“People who aren’t assigned to something should stay away and focus on their assigned tasks. Do you know what I mean?”

“Yes~”

“Okay. Let’s all work hard today too.”

After the briefing, the employees gathered in the cafeteria.

Bustling and bustling.

“I heard that this route is operated by North Korea’s Air Koryo. Why would anyone come all the way here from North Korea?”

“That’s right. The traffic volume is quite heavy… To be honest, it’s a bit burdensome.”

In total, the number of trips per day exceeds 80.

It is said that the original discussion was held up to 100 times, but even though it was an order from the party, there was also the airport’s position.

“They told me to completely ignore the immigration procedures and let them in. Is that okay?”

“It’s an order from on high, so if you’re told to do it, then you have to do it.”

“Well, it has nothing to do with us anyway.”

However, they had a unique feature in that they did not use gates. Since the passengers were moving secretly in the first place, not using gates would not have been more noticeable.

Since it was a secret order of the party, only a limited number of people were selected, so most employees did not need to pay attention to it.

Swoosh.

The first aircraft to arrive from North Korea.

The aircraft, which had reached the back of the airport, had a step car attached to disembark the passengers.

Above, an airport employee climbed up to guide the passengers.

Finally, the airplane door opened.

“illusion….”

The employee, who was about to greet me as he usually did, was momentarily flustered and barely managed to continue speaking.

“…do.”

The reason was because there was a fully armed soldier standing there.

Shh.

“Thank you for your hard work. Could you please expedite the instructions a bit? The plane needs to be rerouted, so if you don’t get off quickly, you’ll get in trouble, haha.”

A soldier who speaks with a cheerful smile. His tall appearance and fluent Cantonese make the staff let down their guard.

“Yes, please follow me.”

The staff led them through a quiet route in the airport.

The number of people moving in this way per day is close to 20,000. The Hong Kong Police Force was the first to notice this trend.

* * *

Hong Kong Police Force.

“Director, isn’t there an airport incident that was ordered from higher ups this time?”

“Oh, okay.”

This is an incident in which, not long ago, there was suspicious activity at the airport, and after investigating, it was revealed that it was the work of a high-ranking party official, so no intervention was taken.

According to a secret inquiry conducted among the staff, there were soldiers on board. I heard there were quite a few of them.

“I asked the Southern Theater Command and they said they had no idea about it.”

“…Who confirmed it?”

If a high-ranking member of the party was directly involved in the work, it was highly likely that even within the headquarters, many people were unaware of it.

“I don’t know about that.”

An unidentified military transport that had been going on for several days, and that too from a civilian airport.

Even if you roughly calculate it, the number is likely to be in the tens of thousands.

The police chief’s mind began to spin quickly at this puzzling situation.

His left hand stroked his messy beard. It was a habit that came out when he was deep in thought.

Let’s think about it.

A secret order issued within the party.

Why on earth would so many people have to transit through North Korea to enter Hong Kong?

And this is a military action that the Southern Theater Command is completely unaware of… Is there any reason to transport soldiers to a civilian airport?

At this point, with Chairman Shi Jinchang dead… I have an ominous feeling.

“No way! Go right now and investigate his whereabouts. Finish it within an hour and report back!”

“yes!”

Since they moved dozens of times a day at the airport, it was not difficult to figure out their movement routes.

Soon after, all their movements were tracked and reported.

“It seems like they’ve moved to the northern part of Hong Kong’s New Territories. There’s a large warehouse facility there, and the complex is so large that it seems like it could accommodate that many people.”

To be honest, it was an ambiguous size for everyone to fit in and stay in, but it was certainly big enough to fit everyone in.

What was clear was that their path had definitely led them there.

“okay?”

The soldiers did not go to the military camp but gathered somewhere else. Was this as expected?

The manager was troubled.

Should I report this to the security service? Won’t that make things too big?

Previously, since it was something that was done by the party’s high-ranking officials, it was passed over without even being reported to the Security Bureau, but when I started to suspect something, my thoughts changed.

To be honest, I really wanted to pretend not to know, but what if I knew and ignored it and ended up taking responsibility for the problem?

Let’s check it out first. It won’t be too late if you check it out yourself and decide.

“Inspector Wang, you lead your men and go check it out yourself. Just go and find out who is responsible.”

“Yes, I understand.”

* * *

Late evening.

A time when the number of people coming and going has already begun to decrease.

Sergeant Wang led his men to the northern part of the New Territories in Hong Kong.

Boooooooo.

A facility surrounded by a fence.

As they entered the main gate, a tightly shut iron gate greeted them.

“What are you guys?!”

Two men walked out of what appeared to be a small security office, shouting.

Managers walking out, shouting confidently, even though they were accompanied by police vehicles. It was a rare sight since the Hong Kong security law was implemented.

Of course, King Gyeong-sa also asked cautiously, knowing that this was possible only because there was support.

“I’m from the Hong Kong Police Force. Excuse me, may I see the owner of the establishment?”

The man who shouted was clearly speaking Beijing dialect. At least it was clear that he was not a local.

These days, being able to speak Beijing dialect is a basic promotion factor in the police department, so even Inspector Wang was able to try to have a conversation.

“Who are you to order people to come and go? Did you bring a warrant?!”

Under the Hong Kong security law, warrantless arrests and searches are now possible in Hong Kong.

The opponent’s continued harsh reaction.

King Gyeong-sa’s patience was starting to run out and he eventually gave in.

* * *

“Brother! I’ve already subdued them as soon as possible, but what should we do?”

“What are you so anxious about?”

His junior, Wang Chunming, approached him, making a fuss.

But Hu Chun-Yan answers without losing her relaxed smile.

“Isn’t the matter urgent?!”

“Don’t worry too much. Hmm… Let’s see.”

Hu Chun-Yan looked at his watch. The event would take place at dawn the next day.

So it was just past midnight, with only a few hours left.

“Good. It won’t make a difference if we move it forward a few hours. Let’s proceed with the operation in an hour.”

“Yes, brother!”

Only then did Wang Chunming respond with a smile.

In any case, the android forces had to subdue the Southern Theater Command headquarters located in Guangzhou City.

Since it was quite a distance to Guangzhou City, it wasn’t a bad idea to proceed with the operation now.

* * *

It’s past midnight.

Oh my… Subduing the Hong Kong police. What are these people trying to do now?

Inspector Wang was held captive by the Chinese soldiers he had heard about earlier and was under surveillance in their office.

They came rushing out in an instant and attacked, leaving no room to escape.

The soldiers’ strength was so great that even Inspector Wang, who was famous for being tough in Hong Kong, was captured without even being able to fight back.

Ring ring ring. Ring ring. Click.

A man who suddenly answered the phone ringing in his office.

“Yes! Yes! I understand!”

The man nodded repeatedly while talking on the phone and then hung up.

“The timing has been brought forward. The operation must be carried out immediately.”

A giant…?

Wang Jing and the captured Hong Kong police officers looked at them with bewildered expressions.

“Everyone, let’s go right away!”

“yes!”

The other men inside answered in unison at the words of the man who answered the phone.

They ran out in a hurry. I could see the men heading towards the warehouse all at once outside the window.

The office was left with only the arrested Hong Kong police officers and the soldiers guarding them.

That was when.

The doors of the large warehouses visible outside the window began to open simultaneously.

Click! Click!

All the lights in the warehouse came on.

Chuck. Chuck. Chuck. Chuck.

And the soldiers poured out. The soldiers who had filled the warehouse came out and started heading somewhere.

“What…what is that?”

King Gyeong-sa was looking at it.

What on earth is going on in this Hong Kong, no, this land of China… .

Android’s capabilities were more amazing than I expected.

We tried to secure vehicles to ensure mobility, but it is not easy to prepare vehicles to move 100,000 people at once.

Following the advice of the PDC’s representative, I trusted Android’s self-starting ability and got to work, and it turned out better than expected.

They reached Guangzhou within two hours, captured the Southern Theater Command headquarters, and all major military facilities in and around Hong Kong and Macau.

There were about 100 military facilities, but there was no need to occupy them all individually.

In fact, securing the Southern Theater Command Headquarters would not have disrupted the chain of command, but it was a measure taken because it was difficult in case a military conflict occurred and led to civilian casualties.

Since this would be the main base for these public hearings in the future, it was also very important not to lose public support.

Southern Theater Command Headquarters, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City.

“Comrade Hu Chun-Yan! Was it you?! What is this! This is treason!! Do you think you can get away with this?!”

Wang Shujin, commander of the Southern Theater Command, was subdued by an android.

In addition, several other deputy commanders and vice-commissioners were arrested.

Hu Chun-Yan looked around at them.

Nod nod.

Hu Chun-Yan nodded with a satisfied expression.

“General Wang, will you join us?”

“Huh! Don’t talk nonsense! If you think that anything will change just because you caught me, you’re mistaken!”

Nod.

Hu Chun-Yan nodded as if she had expected this and made no further suggestions.

“Make sure these people are comfortable.”

“yes!”

The soldiers dragged out the commanders of the Southern Theater.

It is not an empty promise to keep them without inconvenience. In reality, since they are targets of inclusion, it is better to keep them under constant direct management.

It wasn’t that they gave up so quickly because they originally belonged to the Shijinchang faction, but rather because they had no intention of persuading him.

By the way, I was very fortunate that Android’s capabilities were better than I expected.

Who would have thought that we would be able to take control of the Southern Theater Command without any casualties…

Taking control of the Southern Theater was a matter of enormous significance.

Most of the units of commanders close to the Gongcheongdan were under the Southern Theater Command. Securing the Southern Theater Command system seemed to buy them considerable time before they could gather in Guangdong Province.

The problem is that there are units that can ignore the chain of command and act unilaterally. If they leave the command of the Southern Theater Command and directly communicate with the central government, it could hinder the unification of the Gongcheongdan forces.

However, it is clear that they will be in great confusion for the time being, so if we move quickly here, we will be able to minimize the damage.

“Chunming.”

“Yes, bro!”

“Contact our commanders immediately and tell them to move their units.”

“yes!”

“And when the sun rises, spread the word that General Wang, the commander of the Southern Theater Command, has surrendered to our public hearing.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Now when the morning dawns, the whole world will know that the world has been divided in two.
