Chapter Forty-Seven: Brutality and Strength Endures Humiliation to Survive
The county seat of Lin'an County. No. 29 Longqing Street. Fang's compound. Large living room in the front yard.
"Yes, as Mr. Fang said, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Therefore, you China need the help of our Great Japanese Empire, Japan and China to work together to drive out the Western powers, coexist and prosper, establish a new order in Greater East Asia, and establish a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere. ”
"Stop, stop, stop. Captain Nakagawa, we talked about it beforehand, I don't understand politics, so let's not talk about politics. Let's talk about something else. ”
"Good, good. Don't talk about politics. Mr. Fang, I feel very honored and benefited from meeting us today. It can be said that a conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years. Thank you. Mr. Fang, I want to make friends with you, and I believe that we can definitely become good friends. I also want to worship you as a teacher, and I will always come forward to ask for advice. The courtyard house of the Fang family is beautifully built and very good, bringing together the exquisite skills of Chinese architecture, and all the furnishings of this living room exude a strong cultural atmosphere. I like it so much that I can't bear to leave. In order to concretely reflect the goodwill between Japan and China, I have decided that I will move to your house in the afternoon. ”
Qian Wanlin, who had been standing, had long had a sore back, weak legs and weak feet. At this time, he let out a long sigh of relief, and muttered silently with resentment: Hey, I've been talking about it for a long time, and after going around such a big circle, I finally got to the point, it's really hard, tired, and troublesome. Wouldn't it be okay to just bring the troops to move over and live, there is really no need to waste time here, and I have to accompany the punishment station.
"Inconvenience! Inappropriate! Captain Nakagawa, you can't move to my house. Fang Daxian unceremoniously and mercilessly refused.
"Huh? Mr. Fang, are you rejecting me? ”
"Yes. I repeat, you can't move to my house. Inconvenient! That's not right! ”
"Inconvenience? Inappropriate? Is that why you rejected me? Mr. Fang, what are the inconveniences and inappropriateness of me moving to your house? You'll have to make it clear to me. ”
"Okay, then I'll talk about it. Let's start with this inconvenience. Captain Nakagawa, I'm Chinese, you're Japanese. Although your Japanese culture originated in China, and the cultures of China and Japan are quite similar and similar, there are still some differences and differences. China and Japan have very different national personalities, different living habits and habits, different ways of thinking, different angles of looking at problems, and different ways of dealing with people and things; if they live together, it will be difficult for them to adapt to each other, and they will certainly disturb each other, and there will be disagreements and contradictions, and in the end, no one will be happy. That's the inconvenience. Again, I'm not right. From the Lugou Bridge incident to this year, the Sino-Japanese war has reached its fifth year, and the fighting is getting bigger and bigger, and the more chaotic it becomes, you Japanese soldiers carrying guns and guns and driving tanks to gallop north and south, crisscrossing east and west to attack our China, which has long aroused the anger and hatred of the Chinese people, and also gritted your teeth and hated those Chinese who ran before and after running for you. At this time, if you move to live in my house, all the people who know and know me and my family will mistakenly believe that I am a traitor, and they will definitely do everything possible to kill me and my family regardless of life and death, so as to vent the hatred of the nation and relieve the hatred of the country. I'm so wronged. Besides, if you live in my house, your life may also be threatened. That's not right. So, Captain Nakagawa, don't move to my house. I'm doing this for your own good. ”
When Nakagawa Rongyi heard Fang Daxian's words, he was quite shocked and surprised: Fang Daxian definitely did not understand politics and military affairs as he himself said. Although he said it politely and tactfully, it was secretly sharp and sharp. Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that in Fang Daxian's words, a kind of unyielding and strong spirit and fearless temperament are clearly revealed. Although there are many slaves like Qian Wanlin who can be arbitrarily driven and reprimanded for the sake of glory, greedy for money, lustful, greedy for life and afraid of death, there are thousands of Chinese who go forward and succeed, disregard life and death, have the courage to dedicate themselves and resist stubbornly, and there are many people like Fang Daxian who are respected and looked up to with profound and proud cultural background. Alas! How could such a nation be conquered? How can such a country rule? However, now, at this moment, I must take a tough attitude, completely overwhelm Fang Daxian in momentum, and make him completely subjugated to me without force, even if it is superficial, even if it is against his will, I must achieve the purpose of my coming.
"Hmph." Nakagawa Eichi narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Daxian, and said with a sneer:
"No, no, no. Mr. Fang, what you said is completely wrong. There is no inconvenience at all as you say. I admit that differences in national character do exist. However, even the personalities of people of the same country and nationality are very different and very different, and differences do not prevent them from living in the same place. As for life habits and habits, there will be some differences. I believe that Japan and China are both East Asian peoples, and their cultures are very similar, and in some respects they are identical. Therefore, living together cannot reach the point of incompatibility and rejection of opposition. It is also normal to have different ways of thinking, looking at problems, and dealing with people and things, and this can be changed. You see, Qian Wanlin and Captain Qian have changed very well, you can completely emulate and learn from him. Mr. Fang, there is nothing wrong with what you said. Now in its fifth year of war, the Japanese Empire fought a holy war to liberate China from decline and save the Chinese people from fire, water and suffering. Now, more than half of China's territory has been included in the territory of our Great Japanese Empire, everything above and below China belongs to the Great Japanese Empire, and you Chinese are now all people under the protection and blessing of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan. This statement is false. You should have seen that these two ideas and ideals of our Japanese Hachiyu and you Chinese are gradually merging and converging. Although we are not one nation and have different identities, I believe that we can live next to each other with respect and courtesy. Mr. Fang, isn't that bad? ”
"Hmph." Fang Daxian looked at Nakagawa Eiichi contemptuously, and said awe-inspiring and cold:
"Captain Nakagawa, what you said is getting more and more outrageous, to put it mildly, it's just ridiculous. Now is a period of tragic war, China and Japan are at war, at a time when the life and death of the country and the nation are at stake, you insist on moving to my house, can we live next to each other with respect and courtesy, and get along amicably? I refuse you to come to live, you have to come to live in my house, is this what you mean by respecting and treating each other politely? Captain Nakagawa, if it were the other way around, and I forced you to do this, would you agree to me willingly, without any worries, and without scruples? ”
"Yes. Mr. Fang, I will agree to you willingly, without any worries, and without scruples. Because, in the course of the war, sometimes, some people should and can temporarily forget about the war, forget the bloodshed and death, find a corner of peace, and seek temporary peace and tranquility, which is also a way of life and a way of survival. Mr. Fang, you can do this. ”
"Alas! Captain Nakagawa, you touch your upper and lower teeth, it's simple and easy to say. Realistically speaking, in the past few years, smoke has been rising all the time, and wars are burning everywhere, how can it be possible to find a corner of safety? How can it be possible to seek peace and tranquility for a while, it is impossible. Unless, unless, you, the Japanese troops, leave China, the broad masses of our people will have eternal peace and tranquility. ”
"Mr. Fang, you are making anti-Japanese communist remarks! It's all Communist propaganda, and I could have executed you right away! However, I don't want to do that. In fact, our Imperial Japanese Army was still benevolent and tolerant. So, I don't care about what you just said. We have long known that your second brother Fang Daxin was once a colonel officer of the Kuomintang army, and was killed in the battle between Taierzhuang and our imperial army. Since our imperial army came to Lin'an County, it hasn't made things difficult for you and your family, right? Didn't arrest and execute anyone from the Fang family according to the anti-Japanese family, right? This is enough to show that we are merciful and forgiving. Today, I made a special trip to visit, I want to worship you as a teacher, I want to make friends with you, am I not sincere enough? I'm moving to your house to live in order to ask for advice and communicate conveniently. Mr. Fang, why do you keep refusing? ”
Hearing Nakagawa Eiichi talk about Fang Daxin, the second brother who bravely resisted the enemy and sacrificed his life for the country, Fang Daxian was really a little scared at this moment, as if Nakagawa Eiichi found his shortcomings and was caught by Nakagawa Eiichi in his weakness. Fang Daxian didn't dare to speak upright anymore, he knew the tigers and wolves of the Japanese and their brutal killing methods. He wants to protect his family and business, and he also wants to protect the lives of everyone in the Fang family. What to do? Fang Da first remembered what his wife told him: if you can bear it, you can bear it, and if you can, you will let it. You can't go head-to-head with the Japanese, let alone directly confront them. Fang Daxian pondered anxiously and worriedly......
Nakagawa Eiichi saw that Fang Daxian was silent, thinking that he was still going to refuse, and said forcefully:
"Mr. Fang, now that I am the supreme military and political governor of Lin'an County, I have the right to make any decision, the right to requisition everything I need, and the right to decide the life and death of a person or some people. However, I would like to salute before I fight. Mr. Fang, let me say one last time, I will move to your house this afternoon. It's not about your consent, it's my command. ”
It's over, there's no way back. It seems that it can only be subservient. Fang Daxian said timidly:
"Captain Nakagawa, if you want to say that, I, I won't dare to refuse anymore, I and my whole family have to save our lives. Then, then you can move to my house, and I will vacate the outer yard and the front yard for you......"
"No! Mr. Fang, I want to requisition the front yard, middle courtyard and east courtyard of your house, you and your family can only live in the west courtyard and the north courtyard, and you can only go through the back door in the future, and you are not allowed to come to the front yard, the middle courtyard and the east courtyard. If there is disobedience, it will be severely punished! Do you understand?! ”
"Huh? Oh, oh, I get it, I get it. That, so be it. ”
Japanese Second Lieutenant Hirochi Takagi walked quickly into the living room and walked in front of Eiichi Nakagawa.
Seeing Takagi Hiroshi walking in, Fang Daxian was shocked and his heart jumped.
