[69 Book Bar - www.] After President Lin heard this, he seemed much happier. He sighed and said:
"It seems that I really need to be the president. If the Japanese really don't find a bad guy to be the president, then the merchants in Nanjing will be in great trouble. Because he will make the merchants surrender to the emperor every day.
The military pays taxes and donations. They will also send missionaries to the merchants to ask for money at every turn. If these bad guys are allowed to do it, the merchants will have no way to survive."
"So as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, you cannot give in. You must continue to work hard. Try to do more good things for the merchants in Nanjing."
Zhou Qin also answered at this time:
"But the Japanese may not let you do it. If they don't want you to be the president, you can't fight even if you want to."
"If the Japanese don't let me be the president, then I won't fight. I will first see who they let me be. If it's a good person, forget it. If they really find a bad person to be the president, then
Let’s think of other ways to treat him.”
President Lin said to Liu Haisheng again:
"When you meet people from the New Fourth Army about becoming president, you can help me ask whether our idea is correct."
Liu Haisheng said:
"I remember this. If I meet them, I will help you ask. I think our idea is right."
Lin Xiaoqiang and two team members had just walked to a place not far from Tangjiatu Village when they heard several gunshots coming from the village. Lin Xiaoqiang waved his hand and told the team members to take cover immediately while he observed with binoculars.
The situation in the village.
A house was burned down by the enemy, and flames shot out from the eaves, and the fire became more and more intense. Then all the houses in the village were set alight by the Japanese, black smoke rolled into the fire, and the fire engulfed every home. A great village, like this
It was burned to ashes by the Japanese.
A middle-aged woman cried and was dragged out of the village by two puppet soldiers. Before she could be dragged to the edge of the village by the puppet soldiers, she was shot to death by a Japanese soldier who was following behind.
Lin Xiaoqiang turned around and looked at the Nanjing Airport not far away. Japanese planes were taking off from the airport.
Lin Xiaoqiang said to the team members around him:
"This is the Japanese creating a no-man's land around the airport so that people can no longer hide within a certain range around the airport to ensure the safety of their airport."
Team member Peng Junxian said puzzledly:
"The Japanese have been occupying the area for such a long time. In the past, they only strictly guarded the area within the livestock ditch at the airport. Why are they now all outside the airport, and are they creating no-man's land everywhere by clearing out the countryside and destroying villages?"
Lin Xiaoqiang used his binoculars to observe several bungalows inside the airport not far from the gate. He saw that there were fixed sentries and mobile sentries of the Japanese around those bungalows. He looked around again and looked around the perimeter of the airport which had been destroyed by the Japanese.
After missing the villages and woods, he handed the binoculars to Zhang Tao, the team member beside him, and said:
You should also take a good look around the airport, and then take a look at the bungalows inside the airport that are strictly guarded by the Japanese. After everyone has seen it, tell us what you think."
One by one, the team members used binoculars to look at the terrain around the airport and the few bungalows inside the airport.
After everyone finished reading, Lin Xiaoqiang said:
"You've all finished reading. Let's talk about it one by one. Why did the enemy clear obstacles and clear sight lines in such a large area outside the airport? And they also used the method of massacring villages. It's really terrible for the surrounding people.
Why are the Japanese troops heavily guarding the bungalows in the middle of the right corridor inside the airport? The puppet troops can only stay on the periphery and cannot get close."
