The massive march of tens of thousands of people and the passionate sentiments of the people greatly boosted morale and awakened the people's sense of resistance. It soon attracted the attention of the Japanese and puppet governments, who held a special meeting to study and plot confrontation and countermeasures.

At the Puppet Xiamen Security Headquarters, Miyata opened the folder on the table sent by Hong Licheng, the president of the Puppet Chamber of Commerce, and frowned as he looked at it, his face full of displeasure.

Consul Uchida was sitting on the spacious sofa opposite Miyata's large desk, his eyes looking straight ahead, his face looking very cold and without any expression.

Miyata handed the document to Uchida and said with concern: Mr. Consul General Uchida, since the liberation of Xiamen Island, people have continued to protest.

Very bad. If this continues, you and I will not be able to repay the Emperor's trust.

Uchida said disapprovingly: "We had expected that the people in Xiamen and Gu would unite to cause trouble, but they were just dissatisfied with our recovery and venting their private anger. Their actions were nothing more than trivial matters in front of the powerful Imperial Japanese Army.

Fish and shrimps, no matter how hard they try, they can't make big waves." At this point, Uchida paused and then said: "It is the economic problem of Xiamen Island that is the biggest problem we encounter."

While they were talking, Li Zaixin, mayor of the puppet Xiamen government, came in cautiously from outside and stood aside with his head bowed.

Commander Miyata glared at Li Zaixin and said unceremoniously: Mr. Si Xian, the Imperial Japanese Army relies heavily on you and does not distrust you because you served as the cultural anti-Japanese committee member of the Xiamen Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Support Association.

Now, the imperial army has appointed you as the mayor of the Xiamen Municipal Government. You should repay the kindness and contribute more to the goodwill between China and Japan and the common prosperity of Greater East Asia!

Li Zaixin quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Yes, yes, the kindness of being acquainted with the Imperial Army of Japan will definitely be reported. I recently plan to take my children to Tokyo to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor on his surrender."

Commander Miyata said calmly: Mayor Li's loyalty is a lesson. Xiamen and Guzhou are not far apart. After Xiamen was captured by the imperial army, the imperial army was committed to "reviving Xiamen". Since most of the residents evacuated, the overseas Chinese

Not being tempted, Zhangquan's cargo transportation stopped, causing Xiamen's commercial economy to plummet, and the market to be depressed. However, Gulangyu Island, a small strip of water, was prosperous, and its level of development actually exceeded Xiamen Island. This made the Imperial Japanese Army lose face and feel ashamed.

Unable to face it.

Li Zaixin hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a humble look: Commander, the prosperity of Xiamen Island is inseparable from three conditions: one is a large population and strong consumption power; the other is remittances from overseas Chinese and flexible finance; the third is Zhangquan mainland and overseas.

Communication of freight. Xiamen is a distribution center. Xiamen itself has no production and no basis for prosperity. Without these three conditions for commercial development, it will inevitably become a dead island of depression and fragmentation.

Uchida couldn't help but interjected: I wonder what Mr. Sixian has to say?

Li Zaixin said in a serious tone: To achieve prosperity in Xiamen, three problems must be solved.

"Oh, those three questions?" Miyata couldn't help but ask.

Li Zaixin continued: "The first is to solve the human problem, bring back some of the refugees in Gulangyu, and invite businessmen from Japan and Taiwan to do business in Xiamen. The second is to realize freight transportation with the outside world, realize navigation and business, and the third is to establish unified taxation and establish

Opium dens were opened, opium dens were opened, casinos were opened, prostitutes were opened, counterfeit currency notes were printed, and a new financial order was established. Another point was to vigorously publicize the changes that had taken place in Xiamen Island after its recovery, and to invite many tourist groups to visit Xiamen Island.

Come and show the achievements of revitalizing Xiamen Island."

"Invite the tour group!" Commander Miyata's eyes flashed brightly and he nodded approvingly: "Sixian's suggestion is very good. We will prepare separately and implement it as soon as possible. If Xiamen Island can be managed well, your contribution will be great.

Yes, and I no longer have to be afraid of the opposition."
