Rabe and his safe area, the capital known as the furnace, would have been unbearably hot in summer, but now it is cold winter, and there is still the danger of Japanese troops entering the city.
Every moment, life here is as scary as hell.
"Songhu cannot be saved, and the capital has also fallen under the iron heel of the Japanese army!"
"Do you want to leave? Do you want to leave this devilish place? How is Dora doing now? Has she returned to Berlin safely?"
"After the city here was destroyed, those who took refuge in the international safe zone established by me and others, were they able to escape this disaster safely?"
"There are more and more people fleeing, but food and money are getting less and less!"
"Especially now that Japanese troops are stationed everywhere in the city. Although there are still stragglers fighting against the invaders, how long can they resist? Their main elite troops have been defeated by the Japanese troops, and they are fleeing and evacuating.
If we evacuate, those who die in battle have already died in battle!"
"This place is in a mess now. If it continues to suffer from these inhumane Japanese troops, it may become a ruin! And it will be an uninhabited ruin!"
"These damn invaders are really abominable!"
After seeing that the international safe area that he and other foreigners worked hard to build was becoming more and more crowded with refugees,
Rabe also had a headache. Looking at the refugees who looked miserable, did not have enough to eat, did not wear warm clothes, and had expressions of despair or fear on their faces,
His heart was also slightly sour, he sighed helplessly and muttered to himself.
His thoughts were constantly distracted,
He is even worried about the safety of his wife and children.
Rabe, who was born in Hamburg in 1882, came to China in 1908 and worked and lived for a long time, which lasted for 30 years. He also met his wife in Peiping, and his two children were also born there.
As an agent of Siemens, its main business is to open telephone services in the capital and build several power plants.
Regarding his business ability, business development ability and leadership, he is still very impressive.
However, these aggressive wars launched suddenly by the Japanese army destroyed all his hopes for a career future.
"Mr. Rabe! There is a shortage of medicines, food, and anti-gas belts. Now more and more refugees are entering our international safe area, and some soldiers have even changed into civilian clothes.
, hidden in our place!"
"What should we do now? We can get more food and medicine there. There are many injured soldiers and civilians here, and there are also many sick refugees!"
Just as the safe area that Rabe had established for himself and other foreigners was increasingly lacking in needed food, supplies, and medicines, one of his employees, Li Dechun, also looked anxious and came to his office.
There, reports are being conducted.
"I will discuss it with committee members from other countries later!"
"You go and settle these new refugees here first, and you must pay attention to hygiene. You must not let a plague or the like break out here!"
"Otherwise, the situation here will be even worse by then!"
Regarding my report as a relatively loyal employee,
Rabe also became more and more worried and ordered.
"Yes! Mr. Rabe!"
"You should also take care of yourself, you have lost a lot of weight recently!"
After employee Li Dechun saw his boss looking so troubled,
He is also worried about whether the next situation will become worse.
But he also quickly followed orders.
And before leaving, he also expressed his concern and greetings.
Rabe just smiled slightly at this,
There was nothing more to say.
Then, he also left his office and went to find other members of the Foreign Committee to discuss how to store more medicines and food to tide over the crisis of more and more refugees in the international safe area.
Not long after Rabe left the office,
Suddenly, in the sky, there were bursts of aircraft engine sounds and the sounds of bombing and explosions from aerial bombs.
"Air raid?"
"Are the Japanese planes coming to bomb here again? Damn the Japanese army!"
After hearing these explosion sounds that were completely unexpected,
Rabe also immediately raised his head and stared at the distant sky.
And he couldn't help but cursed the Japanese aircraft group.
But when he saw clearly the types of aircraft groups that were conducting air strikes and bombing operations in the distant airspace,
He was immediately stunned.
"This is not one of those Japanese aircraft!"
"And God, am I dazzled."
"Why do our empire's JU88 bomber groups appear here?"
"And it seems that there are still air raids and bombings directed at the place where the Japanese troops are located?"
"What's going on?"
"Isn't our empire prepared to form an alliance with the Japanese army? And we are not allowed to interfere with the refugee resettlement of the Chinese army!"
"Why are there still the main bomber groups of the main force appearing here to conduct air strikes and bomb those damn invader Japanese troops?"
"??????"
Then, Rabe kept talking with a shocked and shocked expression on his face.
His mind was suddenly filled with doubtful questions.
