Lotte Theater is located in the center of Xiamen, and 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 and chairs are all made of rosewood, the texture of the mahogany table is pleasant, and the tiger chair is finely carved and vivid. The table rests against a railing, and there are all kinds of fruits and snacks on the table.

In the box, Hong Licheng, the president of the pseudo-Xiamen Chamber of Commerce, sat in it leisurely. He wore a black brocade robe with dark patterns, and his slightly chubby and sturdy body leaned against a mahogany chair.

Hong Licheng was holding the bowl, twisted the lid of the bowl with his right hand, skimmed the tea foam with the edge of the bowl, and took a sip. At the door of the box, there were two more big men with tiger backs and bear waists standing upright, with their pectoralis muscles bulging high. They all had box cannons stuck in their belts.

Hong Licheng looked at the stage, and the horizontal flesh on his face revealed pride and satisfaction.

Hong Tongchang walked in, hugged his fist to Hong Licheng and said: President Hong, I'm sorry, it's too late.

Hong Licheng rolled his eyes and glanced at him, and said unhurriedly: "Coming there, President Hong is in Xiamen, and it is not too late for you to come!"

"I have long been dismissed from my post and idle, and the title of President Hong is really old, and I really dare not take it."

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

Hong Licheng took a sip of tea and said: President Hong, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm glad to meet! President Hong has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he asked President Hong to teach him in person.

"Teach me, I really don't dare to be old!" Hong Tongchang hugged his fists and said: Brother Hong is no longer what it used to be, and he can be regarded as a person who wants wind and rain on Xiamen Island.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Hong Licheng stood down and asked in surprise.

Hong Tongchang still said unhurriedly: "At present, although the Japanese are strong and strong, they are unstoppable, and have swallowed a large area of China's land, but China is a big country, with a vast land and many people, and the anti-Japanese upsurge is intensifying, and the people are awakened angrily and have risen up to fight. ”

Hong Licheng said with a smile: Chairman Hong is unwilling to cooperate and work with the Japanese, so he said this. As the saying goes, the wise see the wise, and the benevolent see the benevolent. President Hong did think too much, and there is no need to teach me about this, I have already thought about it deeply, but I have a different judgment from President Hong on this matter. It has been more than 10 months since the "77" Lugou Bridge incident last year, and the Japanese have been invincible, even if there is desperate resistance from the Chinese people and the army, what will happen? Although the Chinese soldiers and civilians were brave and tragic, Luo Fanggui in Nankou, Yao Ziqing in Baoshan, Hao Mengling and Liu Jiaqi in Xinkou, Wang Mingzhang in Lincheng, Li Bifan in Heze, and Zhu Yaohua of the Hunan Army in the Battle of Songhu all held their positions and defended the battlefield, filling every piece of flesh and bone with the ruins, and every drop of blood stained the scorched earth, they did not surrender, did not retreat, did not fear, did not flee, and in the end did not stop the Japanese people from attacking fiercely! China is already in danger, and if it continues to develop like this, within two years, the Japanese will occupy the whole of China, and Japan will surely win and China will be defeated.

Hong Tongchang couldn't help but retort: Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have established a united front, Japan is still our enemy, and if we ignore the country's difficulties, make a living, turn to the Japanese, and work for the Japanese, won't we be a traitor who is scolded and hated by thousands of people? After a hundred years, how can I still have the face to see my ancestors again. ”

Hong Licheng laughed "haha", and then retorted: "What's wrong with being a traitor, do you all deserve to die?" At that time, Emperor Xuantong did not take refuge in the Japanese and established Manchukuo. A few years ago, Wang Zhaoming also ratified the "He-Mei Agreement" and the "Qin-Tu Agreement," ceding sovereignty over North China to the Japanese. Are they dead? No, it's not like living a chic and comfortable life, eating fragrant food, drinking spicy food, a few can be compared. Now that it is the occupied area of Japan, if these words of Chairman Hong are heard by others and told to the Japanese, it will be a matter of losing his head, and Chairman Hong should not be confused! ”

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

Hong Licheng continued: "President Hong, you must also know Wu Sangui's character. The general army of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty guarded the Shanhaiguan. In 1644, Qing troops were brought into the customs. Do you say he's a traitor? Yes, he is an out-and-out traitor in the eyes of the Han people, but in the eyes of the Manchus, he is a founding hero with outstanding military achievements. The peasant rebel army led by Li Zicheng in Guannei had captured Beijing, and Chongzhen hanged himself. The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry outside the gate are eyeing the inside of the gate. Wu Sangui was sandwiched in the middle. But then he surrendered to the alien race and surrendered to the court. He was named the king of Pingxi by the Qing court. Enjoy the glory and wealth. It is not so much that he is angry and angry, but that he knows the times and is a handsome. This is a world where only the strong can survive. ”

"However, if a man has no foresight, he will have near-term worries. Hiding under the eaves of other people's houses to avoid the rain may not be wet. You have to think about it! Hong Tongchang interjected.

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

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

Hong Tongchang: I heard that the head of the Japanese secret service, Shigenobu Ze, is coming to Xiamen, but he strongly recommends Hong Chengda to be the chairman of the chamber of commerce on Xiamen Island, not you, Hong Tongchang.

Hong Licheng's face changed greatly, and he leaned forward again and said, "You won't scare me, in this matter, Uchida personally promised me that there is no second person to be the president in Xia Island?" ”

Hong Tongchang sneered: "You just believe in the Japanese so much, you haven't suffered enough, working with the Japanese, how can you be reliable and honest at all, saying that replacing you is not a sentence in an instant, isn't it a precedent for decay!" ”

Hong Licheng suddenly showed a fierce light: "Then I will do it in advance and kill Hong Chengda." ”

Hong Tongchang smiled indifferently and said: "Things are far from being as simple as you think, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and there is nothing that Japanese spies don't know." If you kill Hong Chengda, if Ze Chongxin is angry, not only will you, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, not only be unable to be the president, but you may not even be able to save your life. In my opinion, you should think of a foolproof plan as soon as possible! ”

Hong Licheng suddenly wilted, and hurriedly asked: What is President Hong's opinion!

Hong Tongchang pondered for a moment and said: I have a way to get the best of both worlds, Hong Chengda does not want to be a Japanese obedient citizen, and wants to develop in Nanyang, why don't you take this opportunity to settle down and help him stay away from Xiamen Island safely and never come back, so that Hong Chengda is not only fulfilled, but also relieved of his worries, why not!

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

Hong Licheng also shouted: "Okay! ”

After all, ginger is old and spicy, and Hong Licheng's face is full of admiration and gratitude.

He arched his fist to his chest again, and said with admiration: Thank you, sir, for your guidance, I will arrange the dock immediately.

Hong Tongchang also returned the salute with a fist: I wish President Hong success!

The big drama on the stage was also played to the fullest, with whistles and shouts, mixed with warm applause.
