Hong Chengda spent a lot of effort to find the home of Hong Tongchang, the former Xiamen maintenance president. When Hong Chengda came to the door, Hong Tongchang was sitting quietly and listening with a serious expression.

Hong Chengda took a sip of tea and said: Mr. Hong used to be the president of the Sustaining Association, and he had to do it as a last resort. Although he worked for the Japanese, he also secretly helped many people. We all can see this clearly. Now, my brother has received

Due to the coercion of the Japanese, some refugees were unwilling to become obedient Japanese citizens, and some refugees were willing to go abroad to Nanyang with their brother, hoping that Mr. Hong could help.

Hong Tongchang declined and said: I have been idle at home for a long time and have little contact with the Japanese puppet government. I may not be able to help Brother Hong!

Hong Chengda smiled: I know you still have a grudge against me. In the past, I did a lot of things poorly, and I hope you can understand. The pass for going out was issued by Uchida. Everyone knows that Mr. Hong has a relationship with the Xiamen Consulate General.

Uchida has a very close friendship. If you personally take action on this matter, you will have a chance of success.

After hearing this, Hong Tongchang still said expressionlessly: "That is all in the past. You also know that the Japanese talk about interests rather than feelings, and I am of no use to them now, so why talk about feelings."

As he spoke, Hong Tongchang took a sip of tea and said with a troubled face: "It's not that I won't help you. Based on my previous contacts with the consulate, it is still possible to get a few passes, but now the situation has changed, and Uchida's attitude

It has also changed drastically. It is very difficult to release a traffic ship. This not only requires application from the Consulate General, but also needs approval from the Japanese Navy Headquarters. I am afraid there is nothing I can do. I hope you will forgive me, sir!" He looked impatient.

Shaking his head.

Hong Chengda paused and said, "How can you know the result if you didn't try it? This matter involves the names of hundreds of business people, and it is also related to your reputation in Xiamen. If you succeed in this matter, it will also be for yourself."

Leave a way out!"

Hong Tongchang thought for a while and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I'll give it a try!"

"Then please!" Hong Chengda stood up and shook hands with Hong Tongchang to say goodbye.

After watching Hong Chengda leave, Hong Tongchang put on his clothes, walked out of the small foreign-style building, got into a car parked in the yard, and drove to the Puppet Xiamen Consulate General.

Hong Tongchang took a black car to the front of the Puppet Xiamen Consulate General on Lujiang Road and was stopped by two Japanese sentries.

Hong Tongchang rolled down the window and showed a blue ID card. The Japanese sentry took it and looked at it carefully. He said unceremoniously: People can enter, but cars cannot.

Hong Tongchang had no choice but to get out of the car at the gate and walked into the office building of the Consulate General very unhappy. He was stopped by the plainclothes Japanese spy on duty: "What are you doing?"

"I'm here to see Consul General Uchida!" He angrily showed his blue book again.

A Japanese plainclothes agent looked at the blue book, looked him up and down, and said in Japanese: "Mr. Hong, please follow me."

Hong Tongchang followed the plainclothes agent to the second floor. He turned into a long corridor and was walking angrily when a Japanese employee suddenly appeared from the front office with a stack of documents in his arms.

Hong Tongchang couldn't dodge and collided with the Japanese employee. The documents in the Japanese employee's hand were scattered on the floor.

Hong Tongchang was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Taijun. I was too blind to recognize Taishan. I bumped into you. Please forgive me!"

The clerk raised his eyes and was about to get angry at Hong Tongchang. When he saw the person standing in front of him clearly, he suddenly screamed: President Hong (Japanese).

Hong Tongchang was stunned after hearing this.

"You don't know me anymore, I'm Oshima Nishikawa!" the clerk explained in blunt Chinese.

"Da...dao...xi...chuan!" Hong Tongchang muttered to himself and quickly searched for memories in his mind.

He paused for a moment and then shouted: "Oh, I remember, Oshima-kun, you were the one who was in danger that day!"

"Yes, I have been looking for you to show my love for saving my life!" After Oshima Nishikawa finished speaking, he turned around and said in Japanese to the plainclothes agent next to Hong Tongchang: This gentleman is here to see me, please come back!

"Hai!" The plainclothes agent turned around and left knowingly.

Oshima Nishikawa said: Mr. Hong, please come with me.

Hong Tongchang followed Oshima Nishikawa into the office.

Oshima Nishikawa closed the door, asked Hong Tongchang to sit down, and asked in blunt Chinese: Mr. Hong, why are you here? Do you have anything to do?

Hong Tongchang said frankly: I was entrusted by a friend to come to Consul General Uchida to handle matters.

"Consul General Uchida has gone to the city hall. If you have anything, you can tell me and I will try my best to help you!" Oshima Nishikawa said eagerly.

"This, this matter is rather important, I...I have to find Consul General Uchida!" Hong Tongchang felt nervous and hesitated when speaking.

Oshima Nishikawa lowered his voice and said: "Consul General Uchida will not help you. I know you are a conscientious Chinese. I am the only one who can help you here."

"Ah...this...!" Hong Tongchang didn't know what to do.

Oshima Nishikawa lowered his voice and said: "President Hong, you still don't believe me, do you know about Chinese and Western Kung Fu, Nishili Tatsuo..." He became anxious and realized that he had said too much, so he stopped hastily.

Hong Tongchang said dubiously: "You know them, you are together..."

Oshima Nishikawa said helplessly: It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me, Consul General Uchida won’t help you anyway.

After some ideological struggle, Hong Tongchang made up his mind and said: "Okay, let me tell you, a friend of mine wants to apply for a transportation ship to go to Nanyang!"

Oshima Nishikawa asked again: "What is your friend's name?"

"Hong Chengda!" Hong Tongchang said truthfully.

"Mr. Hong Chengdahong!" Oshima Nishikawa looked surprised.

Hong Tongchang couldn't help but ask: "Well, it's him. What's wrong? Do you know him?"

"Look at this!" Oshima Nishikawa handed a message to Hong Tongchang.

Hong Tongchang looked at the telegram, and Oshima Nishikawa said: The telegram just sent by Sawa Shigenobu has already appointed Mr. Hong Chengda as the president of the Xiamen Chamber of Commerce at that time, and instructed the secret service to strengthen the surveillance of Hong Chengda to prevent him and his family from leaving Xiamen Island.

.

"Who is Ze Chongxin?" Hong Tongchang asked curiously.

Oshima Nishikawa said with a serious face: "Sawa Shigenobu is the general person in charge of the Japanese military's army and navy spy system in the southeastern coast of China. He has long worked in the 'Great Japan Southern Branch Dispatch Secret Service' headquartered in Taipei.

The general person in charge of the coast!”

"Oh, it's quite big!" Hong Tongchang was shocked when he heard this.

Oshima Nishikawa opened the drawer, took out an ID from the drawer and handed it to Hong Tongchang.

Hong Tongchang took a look and saw on the document: "List the reason for the voyage, the applicant's name, ship number, ship type, load capacity and number of crew members, name and company name of the company."

Oshima Nishikawa again warned: Remember Mr. Hong, don’t make a mistake. Five days later in the morning, there will be a "Fengqing" sailing to the Philippines. Let your friends leave on this ship. Mr. Hong Chengda wants to

I'll use a pseudonym. As for the matter at the dock, it's up to you to find a way to pass it through. I will withhold this telegram first and wait until Hong Chengda gets on the ship before sending it to Consul General Uchida.

Hong Tongchang nodded.

Oshima Nishikawa: "Then I won't keep you. Get out of here while Consul General Uchida is not around!"
