jun 3, 1925 - Guangzhou Declares its Intent to Retake Hong Kong

Description:

The British Revolution throws its empire into chaos, and the retreat of the East China Station to Australia to put down insurrection leaves its concessions in China largely unprotected. The Nationalist Government in Guangzhou declares its intent to retake Hong Kong, leading Governor Claud Severn to request the German garrison in Guangzhouwan to ensure the concession’s security.
