Chapter 360

Gradually the word spread that it was possible to escape by train.

But the poor people don’t have the channels or money to buy the tickets.

Zhu Yuyan had long thought of this problem, and she asked Su Chunjun if he had a good idea.

He said, “Don’t worry, there will be a way in time.”

Zhu Yuyan couldn’t guess, so she had to believe him.

But when the people also knew about the train, they had no money, no tickets, but they had simple wisdom.

–The people flocked directly to the train station with their luggage, and as soon as the train arrived, they squeezed on!

The railway station was guarded by Japanese troops. And Su Chunjun sent the police there. The Japanese army was very lazy, they immediately “took over” the police force, and made them work hard, letting the police do all the work that should have been done by the Japanese soldiers, such as standing guard and checking.

The reason why the Japanese soldiers dared to be lazy in such an important place as the train station, on the one hand, because of the lack of Japanese military power.

The Japanese military with the help of the city’s harbor, will be Japanese soldiers and weapons batch by batch to here, but these in the Japanese soldiers and weapons are not all stationed in the city, they are every day through the train, the car to the land within the transfer.

The Japanese regiments stationed locally were not very large and not very numerous.

After all, Japan was a small country and, according to the pictorials and the foreign newspapers available in the hotels and restaurants in the United States and France, Japanese soldiers were involved in the war over in Europe.

Japan’s limited population could not support such a multi-front war.

So the Japanese military’s been also publicizing enlistment, handing out money and food, calling on Chinese men to join the Japanese army and serve the Emperor from then on.

Because there was not enough food, and because the war was so terrible, joining an imperial army that seemed armed and powerful didn’t seem like a bad choice, so there were still Chinese men who signed up.

Of course, because not enough people signed up, the Japanese army also “quietly” arrested people in the city. They had not yet spread their influence over the whole city, so they only arrested people in the fringe areas, and many of the laborers who used to work in the docks were taken away.

However, most of the laborers at the docks had gangs, and when they saw that the momentum was not good, they fled, taking advantage of their position at the docks to run to foreign countries, some to Japan, some to Vietnam.

And on the other hand, it was because the Japanese army would get on board and check the train when it was midway through its journey.

So the check at the train station became watered down.

Su Chunjun instructed the police to guard the train station without checking the Chinese, and to let them pass “appropriately”.

Those who are still willing to stay as policemen nowadays have a little bit of patriotism and love for the people, not to mention that they are also empathetic to the suffering of their compatriots. So most of the police are willing to let the people a way out.

Among them, there are also special stop Chinese people to rob money, there are opportunities to extort.

There are withered branches in a big tree, and Su Chunjun could hardly identify them all and could only sigh.

However, as long as they could get through the barrier and board the train, the people could escape with at least half a life.

The police officers who let the people on the train would remind them never to sit at the station because the Japanese would check the train in the middle, so they would end up jumping off the train when they left the city.

The train didn’t go very fast because it was underpowered.

Even without the police’s reminders, the people had their own survival wisdom.

Some of them found a way to get out of the city first, and when they saw the train stop, they knew it was the Japanese stopping to check, and when the train started up again, they found a way to get on the train, so they could sit all the way to the end.

All in all, things went pretty well.

Although I do not know how many people can eventually escape, escape one is one.

This city, has gradually dying.

The U.S. grain company is looking for Su Chunjun to sell grain, but it wants land rent.

Speaking of rent, Zhu Yuyan, a person who never went to school properly, also knows that Hong Kong and Macau are rented out by the Qing government. Now that Su Chunjun has power in his hands, the U.S. grain company can send grain, but knowing that he can’t get the money, he proposes to use the land to offset the grain.

Of course she is against it.

But this objection could not be uttered.

Every day people starve to death on the streets, and every day children are thrown onto the streets.

The U.S. grain companies coming to the door now are taking advantage of the fire. They’re not even trying to save lives, but they’re just waiting for the city to die, watching it be invaded by the Japanese.

That grain is like hanging ginseng, it doesn’t cure the disease, you eat it, you live two more days.

But don’t want the grain because it doesn’t cure the disease?

Definitely not.

So, Su Chunjun sat in the study and stayed up all night, and she sat in the bedroom with him. She didn’t know what to say when she saw him.

Dawn and darkness, darkness and dawn.

What this city needs is not a little bit of food, not one relief, it needs to be saved.

But saving it alone is not enough.

The country needs saving.

But for the people, having food every single day is the most important thing.

This city was a city of song and dance, but now it’s getting crazy.

There is □□ everywhere. It’s like a sick man who is struggling not to breathe.

The craziness was increasing, and fewer and fewer people were able to keep their cool.

Su Chunjun was finally attacked by an assassin, and a petrol bomb was thrown at his car. At the same time, the Feng family residence was bombed and set on fire.

Zhu Yuyan was entertaining Japanese businessmen in the official residence, hoping that they would open more factories and recruit more workers, when this happened, everyone screamed in fear.

The assassin was not found afterward, of course.

It’s also hard to tell from which side the assassins came.

It is possible that the Japanese wanted to force Su Chunjun to surrender as soon as possible.

It was also possible that the patriots were trying to force Su Chunjun to surrender as soon as possible. After all, Su Chunjun and she looked like they were on the verge of becoming Japanese lackeys.

Both his and her greatest fear was that the Japanese would send troops into the city under martial law on the pretext that the law and order was not good and that there was great hostility toward friendly Japanese people. So far, the Japanese still lacked an excuse to enter the city.

The Japanese want to be good people, they in the grain store banner is what “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity”, that they are here to help the Chinese, and so on.

Because of this layer of skin, so the Japanese can not force to open in, they must have a good reason.

Bad law and order was a good reason.

So Su Chunjun, after this incident, the police were transferred back from the train station without caring about the injuries, and pretended to search for the murderers all over the city. The train station is not in charge of anyone, anyway, the train is free to run, the people are free to escape.

The police have not received a clearer order, so they have to scratch the surface.

Zhu Yuyan can not care about anything else, the first door to door to console the frightened Japanese businessmen, telling them that now outside is very safe, why not open the factory immediately ah, making money does not wait for people ah.

The Japanese military side must have received a report from the Japanese businessmen, and sure enough, they demanded that the prisoners must be handed over, and this threat to peaceful society could not be tolerated.

Su Chunjun ran to Mr. Zhang without saying a word.

Mr. Zhang himself didn’t want the Japanese to enter the city, and with the Japanese in the city, he certainly wasn’t as safe as he is now.

So he pulled the strings and put in a good word for Su Chunjun, saying that the society is still very peaceful and the police force is still very strong, you can see that they patrol the streets every day.

Mr. Zhang himself also has an army, he also knows many Chinese warlords, so the Japanese soldiers in his face, “temporarily” let this matter go.

From the Japanese, Yamamoto’s home out.

Mr. Zhang sighed as he sat in the car and said to Su Chunjun, “They can’t wait much longer. What are your thoughts now?”

Su Chunjun: “Of course I’ll do everything as my superiors arrange.”

Back home, Su Chunjun said to Zhu Yuyan, “Mr. Zhang is going to run away.”

Zhu Yuyan was shocked, thought for a moment, and sighed: “Guessed it. I didn’t expect it to be so fast, it’s less than a year.”

Su Chunjun: “He probably didn’t expect the Japanese to wait so long. I suspect that when the Japanese really rule here, he might come back again.”

There will definitely be a conflict when the Japanese figure out what to do.

Mr. Zhang was shrewd and capable, he would definitely have to leave when there was a conflict, and he would come back again when the conflict had subsided.

Su Chunjun put his arm around Zhu Yuyan, and the two of them sat on the sofa, his shoulder under his palm was so cut and thin that it was so sharp that it could stab a person.

He said, “It’s fine, the Japanese just want to rule here, I guess they will still use a Chinese as the mayor, they will only maneuver behind the scenes, it’s not the right time for them to come out onto the stage.”

Zhu Yuyan gave a heavy hmmm.

It was already an abyss to go down this road, but they could only go down it.

Within a few days, the Japanese counterattack came.

They failed to send troops into the city, but there was a parade on the streets.

A group of Chinese, not knowing whether they were lured or coerced, joined the Japanese immigrants, pulling banners, carrying Japanese flags, holding up pictures of the Emperor, and shouting slogans.

They wanted Japanese rule.

They said the government was incompetent, that the Japanese were friendly, that Japan was strong, that there was food in Japan, and so on.

Then the parade was bombed.

Many people were injured, and again

By the time Su Chunjun got the news, the parade had already been blown into several sections, and there were fires and screams everywhere.

Presumably the Japanese thought that they had already turned some of the Chinese against them, and that it was now a good time for the Japanese to enter the city.

Maybe they were just aggravating the social conflict.

There were many possibilities, but none of them could be resolved.

Su Chunjun, worried that there might be another attack on the Feng residence, sent only some of the police to the streets where the march was taking place to deal with the aftermath, and probably did little more than separate the crowd and carry the injured to the side of the road.

There was no way to even send them to the hospital; the hospitals in the city were now all foreign hospitals, and the pharmacies and drugstores on the streets were barely open.

Some people from the neighborhood helped to take some of the sick and wounded to nearby places where they could be treated.

But the streets ended up with some bodies covered with white cloth.
