Lotte Theater is located in the center of Xiamen. There is an endless stream of people watching the theater every day. There is a box on the upper floor opposite the stage. Four pots of spider plants are placed in the four corners of the box. The tables, chairs and cabinets are all made of red sandalwood.

Yes, the mahogany table has a pleasant texture, and the tiger chair is exquisitely carved and vivid. The table is placed against the guardrail, and there are various fruits and snacks placed on the table.

In the box, Hong Licheng, the president of the fake Xiamen Chamber of Commerce, was sitting leisurely and contentedly. He was wearing a black brocade robe with dark patterns, and his fat and strong body was leaning on a mahogany chair.

Hong Licheng was holding a tureen, twisting the lid with his right hand, skimming the tea foam with the edge of the lid, and took a sip. At the door of the box, there were two more burly men standing straight with their chests straight.

Their big muscles are bulging high. They all have box cannons inserted into their belts.

Hong Licheng looked at the stage, the expression on his face showing pride and satisfaction.

Hong Tongchang walked in, hugged Hong Licheng and said: President Hong, I'm sorry, I'm late.

Hong Licheng rolled his eyes and glanced at him, and said slowly: By the way, President Hong is highly respected in Xiamen. It's never too late for you to come!

"I have been relieved of my duties long ago. The title of President Hong is really demeaning and I really don't dare to take it."

Hong Tongchang sat unceremoniously at the table in the private room, and someone had already poured tea.

Hong Licheng took a sip of tea and said, "President Hong, we haven't seen you for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you! President Hong has always been absent from the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. He has not been able to achieve great results, so I asked President Hong to give me some advice in person."

"Tell me, I really don't dare!" Hong Tongchang clasped his fists and said: Brother Hong is no longer what he used to be. He can be regarded as a person who wants wind and rain on Xiamen Island. I'm here today just to remind you.

Brother, don't misjudge the situation and go in the wrong direction.

"Oh, how do you say this?" Hong Licheng stood down and asked in surprise.

Hong Tongchang still said unhurriedly: "At present, although the Japanese have strong troops and horses, they are unstoppable and have usurped a large area of ​​China's land. However, China is a huge country with a vast territory and a large number of people. The anti-Japanese craze is getting more and more intense. The people are awakening angrily and one after another.

If we rise up and fight, the Chinese nation will never be destroyed."

Hong Licheng smiled and said: President Hong did not want to cooperate with the Japanese, so he said this. As the saying goes, the wise see wisdom, and the benevolent see benevolence. President Hong is indeed overthinking. There is no need to teach me about this matter. I have already thought about it carefully.

Chairman Hong and I have different conclusions on this matter. From the "July 7" Marco Polo Bridge Incident last year until more than ten months ago, the Japanese were invincible, despite the desperate resistance of the countrymen and the army.

, what will happen? Although the Chinese soldiers and civilians are heroic and tragic, Luo Fanggui at Nankou, Yao Ziqing at Baoshan, Hao Mengling and Liu Jiaqi at Xinkou, Wang Mingzhang at Lincheng, Li Bifan at Heze, and Zhu Yaohua of the Hunan Army at the Songhu Battle all defended their positions.

Defending the battlefield, every piece of flesh and blood filled the ruins, and every drop of blood dyed the scorched earth red. They did not surrender, did not retreat, did not fear, did not run away, and in the end, didn't they stop the Japanese's fierce attack? China is already in danger.

, if this continues, the Japanese will occupy the entire China in less than two years. Japan will win and China will lose.

Hong Tongchang couldn't help but retorted: Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have established a united front, Japan is still our enemy. If we ignore the country's difficulties, live in an ignoble way, turn to the Japanese and work hard for the Japanese, wouldn't it be criticized by thousands of people and hated by thousands of people?

Are you a traitor? How can you have the nerve to see your ancestors again after a hundred years?"

Hong Licheng laughed "haha", and then retorted: "What's wrong with being a traitor? Do you all deserve to die? Didn't Emperor Xuantong defect to the Japanese and establish Manchukuo? A few years ago, Wang Zhaoming also approved the "Ho-Mei Agreement"

"The Qin-Turk Agreement", the sovereignty of North China was handed over to the Japanese. Are they dead? No, they are not living a comfortable and comfortable life, enjoying popular food, drinking spicy food, few can compare with them. Now Japan

In the occupied area, if others listen to what President Hong said and tell the Japanese, it will be a mess, President Hong, please don’t be confused!"

Hong Tongchang deliberately kept silent, with contempt and disdain in his eyes.

Hong Licheng continued: "President Hong, you must also know Wu Sangui. The commander-in-chief of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty guarded Shanhaiguan. In 1644, he introduced Qing soldiers into the customs. Do you think he is a traitor? Yes, he is in the eyes of the Han people.

He was an out-and-out traitor, but in the eyes of the Manchus he was a founding hero with outstanding military exploits. The peasant uprising army led by Li Zicheng in Guan Guan had captured Beijing, and Chongzhen hanged himself. The Eight Banners Cavalry outside Guan Guan was eyeing the people inside Guan Guan. Wu Sangui was caught in the middle.

But later he surrendered to the foreigners and bowed his head. He was named King of Pingxi by the Qing court and enjoyed glory and wealth. Rather than saying that he was a beauty because of his anger, it is better to say that he knew the current affairs and was a hero. This is a world where the jungle is strong and only the strong can win.

To survive in this world.”

"However, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Hiding under the eaves of other people's houses to avoid the rain may not prevent you from getting wet. You have to think clearly!" Hong Tongchang interjected.

Hong Tongchang's words were like a sharp arrow, which immediately penetrated Hong Licheng's hypocritical heart.

Hong Licheng was shocked when he heard this: How can you say this?

Hong Tongchang: I heard that the big boss of the Japanese spy agency, Sawa Shigenobu, is coming to Xiamen. He strongly recommends Hong Chengda to be the president of Xiamen Chamber of Commerce, not you, Hong Tongchang. In a few days, this chamber of commerce president will probably be

You have to give up your position.

Hong Licheng's expression changed greatly, and he leaned forward again and said, "You won't scare me, will you? In this matter, Uchida personally promised me that there will be no other person in Xia Island who can do this to the president?"

"

Hong Tongchang sneered: "You believe in the Japanese so much. You haven't suffered enough yet. Working with the Japanese, there is no reliability and integrity at all. It's just a matter of words to replace you. Isn't this a precedent?"

Hong Licheng suddenly showed a fierce look on his face: "Then I will take action in advance and kill Hong Chengda."

Hong Tongchang smiled calmly and said: "Things are far from as simple as you think. There is no airtight wall in this world, and there is nothing that Japanese spies don't know. If you kill Hong Chengda, and if Ze Shigenobu is angry, you, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, will not only

If you don’t succeed, you may not even be able to save your life. In my opinion, you’d better think of a safe solution as soon as possible!”

Hong Licheng suddenly shrank and asked: What is President Hong’s advice?

Hong Tongchang thought for a moment and said: I have a way to get the best of both worlds. Hong Chengda does not want to be an obedient Japanese citizen and wants to develop in Nanyang. Why don't you take this opportunity to make a favor and help him stay away from Xia Island safely and never come back. That's it.

Hong Chengda has also relieved his worries, so why not!

At this time, there was a burst of applause from the audience, interrupting Hong Licheng's thoughts.

Hong Licheng also shouted: "Okay!"

After all, Jiang is very old, and Hong Licheng's face showed admiration and gratitude.

He raised his fist to his chest again and said with admiration: Thank you sir for your advice, I will make arrangements for the dock immediately.

Hong Tongchang also returned the gift with cupped fists: I wish President Hong immediate success!
Chapter completed!
