With the fall of Xiamen Island, the offices of Xiamen Anti-Enemy Support Associations from all walks of life were moved to the primary school in Maxiang, where they secretly carried out fundraising activities to support the Anti-Japanese Front. Hong Chengda, the Minister of the Recruitment Department, took the lead in fundraising, and patriotic businessmen and patriotic overseas Chinese responded actively and raised funds.

The work was quite effective.

On this day, Hong Chengda came to the office of the support club and walked into the gate. There were some donated materials piled in the yard, including food, clothing, boxes of medicine and other materials. The staff in the hospital were busy. They had some

We are sorting out materials, some are recording matters, and some are storing money orders, but no one can issue them at the moment.

Hong Chengda walked into the office, took off the account book on the wall, and looked through it carefully. He looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Oh, you have donated so much in just a few days. Your work is amazing!"

The staff member smiled and said: Minister Hong, you are still amazing. Since you took the lead in donating money and materials that day, businessmen, small vendors and citizens in the city have followed suit. Small carts are pulling big carts to deliver, and there are so many that they can hardly fit in. Hong Chengda

He happily lit a cigar, took a long puff, and continued to look at the account book.

At this time, several people from the chamber of commerce walked in in a hurry.

The tall businessman came to Hong Chengda and said angrily: "This Li Zaixin has just become the mayor, and he has desecrated the national system, tampered with the national language, and behaves like a complete slave. It is so outrageous!"

The short businessman also cursed: In order to cater to the Japanese, he asked Hong Licheng to change all the time-honored business names to Japanese names!

Hong Chengda said quite puzzled: This is strange. I understand Li Zaixin. He is just a wallflower, sitting on the fence. And what about Hong Licheng? He agreed to Li Zaixin, so he was not afraid of leaving eternal infamy?

Tall businessman: Hong Licheng is good at adjusting to the wind. Seeing that Li Zaixin has gained power, he now obeys Li Zaixin's words.

Hong Chengda stood up and cursed angrily: This shameful traitor should not have helped him in the first place.

The fat businessman thought: Now it seems that Hong Licheng is determined to be a traitor. He knows a lot about our situation, and he is afraid that he will willingly reveal it to the Japanese and ask for credit and rewards from the Japanese. It seems that we must make plans in advance!

Hong Chengda pondered for a moment and said with a serious expression: It seems that the current situation is more complicated than we expected. We inform Xiamen enemy support associations from all walks of life to temporarily stop fundraising activities. The anti-war materials donated by citizens must be transported away as soon as possible and transported to the Anti-Japanese War.

Go to the front line to achieve the goal of losing money and saving the country, so as not to disappoint business friends.

The tall businessman then said: "Most of the donated anti-war materials have been shipped out safely, and there are still a few parts that are being worked out to be shipped out. Mr. Hong doesn't have to worry."

When the tall businessman said this, he paused again and said with some worry: These supplies are easy to say now, but they have been snatched away by the Japanese. Can you donate them again? What we are most worried about now is the safety of our husband.

The short businessman said: Yes, sir, he is a well-known patriotic figure in the industry and a leader in the business community. He is highly respected in Xiamen and no one can match him. After the Japanese occupied Xiamen Island, people fled one after another, social order was in chaos, and all industries were in chaos.

Withered, the Japanese know your prestige and social status in Xiamen Island. I heard that they intend to replace Hong Licheng as the president of Xiamen's maintenance association. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you, sir, to escape for a while.

Hong Chengda smiled slightly after hearing this and said calmly: I am 70 years old and have established my faith for decades without changing it. Today I will never become a submissive citizen of Japan and collude with the Japanese invaders. Now that bandits are in power, even if I risk

Even if life and death are in danger, even if I sacrifice my life for it, I will never violate my faith and become a traitor.

The short businessman said eagerly: Since you have made up your mind, sir, I think it is best to leave Xiamen Island as soon as possible!

After hearing this, the fat businessman sighed and said: Of course it would be good to leave Xiamen Island, but now the Japanese army has blocked the coast and cut off contact with the outside world. The entire Xiamen has become a dead island. It is difficult to get out!

Hong Chengda stopped pacing and said: "There is always a way, and there will be a way! Don't worry about it for now, and find a way to transport these donated materials as soon as possible."

The tall businessman answered and said: Minister Hong, please don't worry, we have already obtained the pass and good citizen certificate, and can load the ship early tomorrow morning.

After hearing this, Hong Chengda hurriedly asked: It is not easy to apply for passes and good citizen certificates. Who did you ask for help?

The tall businessman quickly said: We asked Hong Tongchang to do it yesterday. Hong Tongchang has changed a lot since he resigned as the chairman of the Enemy Maintenance Association. We really had no choice but to find him, and he actually happily found someone to do it for us.
