The situation became more and more urgent, and the anti-Japanese soldiers on Ha Island became even more anxious, and they were trying to break the Japanese blockade by all means.

In the morning, the rain and snow began to clear in Xiamen, and the sky was glowing blue.

In the tea restaurant in Nanhu Park, Wang Ping picked up a table by the window and sat down. On that day, she was wearing a gorgeous dress, looking graceful and luxurious, and generous.

Wang Ping asked for a pot of tea and drank it quietly, and looked out the window at the South Lake from time to time, the lake water was colorful and colorful under the gorgeous sunlight.

Wang Donghai walked over with a newspaper in his hand, and he walked straight to the position opposite Wang Ping and sat down. The newspaper prominently published the following head: "Guyu is full of Japanese military posts, and the whole city is in a state of terror."

"Hello!" Wang Ping took the initiative to say hello to Wang Donghai.

"Hello, thank you for coming to the rescue!" Wang Donghai replied.

"It's all for the sake of resisting Japan, don't you have to be polite!"

Wang Ping looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "Now the Japanese army has cut off all communication between Gulangyu and the outside world, and on the night of the incident, the Japanese police arrested more than 10 people and escorted them to Xiamen, one of whom is a British national, and his life and death are unknown. The Japanese side blocked grain transportation and suspended water supply, causing drinking water difficulties on Gulangyu Island.

Wang Donghai listened, and a flame of hatred appeared in his eyes.

Wang Ping went on to say: The consuls of Britain, France, and the United States are powerless to deal with the blockade and sabotage by the Japanese, the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of Gulangyu is no longer able to exercise administrative power, public order on the island is chaotic, most of the shops are closed, and the relatives of British and American overseas Chinese are extremely frightened. ”

"I didn't expect that these imperialist powers, who usually flaunt their might, are still afraid of this little Japan in the end!" As he spoke, Wang Donghai shook his head helplessly.

Wang Ping looked at Wang Donghai and said: "The 'Jasmine Blossom' plan formulated by the Japanese is to invade and occupy Gulangyu Island, which is not far off. ”

"Did the British, French, and American empires give up their interests in China so easily?" Wang Donghai asked puzzled.

Wang Ping continued: "Of course they don't want to, but after the outbreak of the European war, Britain and France are trapped in it, and it is difficult to take into account their interests in China, and their marines will also withdraw from Gulangyu, and there will be only one United States left on the island, and it will be even more difficult to speak alone, and the final result will still be the victory of the Japanese!" ”

Wang Donghai couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Wang Ping also said worriedly: "If Gulangyu Island is occupied by them, the anti-Japanese activities behind enemy lines will become more arduous and dangerous!" ”

"What do you think?" Wang Donghai asked.

"Now Xiagu is like a sea ship in the wind and rain, and we are the sailors of this ship with thousands of holes and scars, in order for this ship to dock safely, we must keep filling the leaks of this ship, keep sailing, keep playing the distress signal, keep adjusting the course and compass, the slightest carelessness, the ship will be destroyed, there can be no mistakes."

Wang Donghai listened and subconsciously touched his pocket.

Wang Ping took out a pack of cigarettes from Kun's bag and asked with a smile, "Do you want this?" ”

Wang Donghai nodded.

Wang Ping handed over the cigarette, Wang Donghai opened the box and took out one and put it in his hand.

Wang Ping then struck a match and stretched it out.

Wang Donghai hurried over, and lit a cigarette with both hands.

The flames reflected his hands, trembling slightly.

Wang Donghai lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, and spit out a puff of smoke rings, the cigarette curling around his face.

He explained to Wang Ping: "I don't usually smoke, but this is the second cigarette I smoked, and the first one is in front of Yunfei's grave. ”

Wang Ping smiled at him and said, "Mr. Wang, you feel uncomfortable, just smoke, smoking is also a kind of emotional relief." ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Wang Donghai's face showed a hint of emotion.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a question?" Wang Ping took the opportunity to say.

"If you have any questions or ideas, you can put them up, and I'm willing to listen." Wang Donghai said very politely and took another puff of cigarette.

Wang Ping said unusually calmly: "According to our strength, we need to join hands to open up a new situation in Xiagu. Only by working together can we survive and better fight the Japanese to the end. ”

Wang Donghai pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, we have already started to join forces, and we have a very tacit understanding, don't you think so?" ”

"I agree with you, and it's mostly unsolicited and uninvited. However, it is thanks to our joint efforts that we have achieved so much success! Wang Ping spoke in a very light tone, and her face showed a gentle smile in the reflection of the sun.

"You mean, we're going to have more teaming up?" Wang Donghai asked rhetorically, with an elusive expression on his face.

Wang Ping said quietly: "In the past, we were unanimous, and now we must work together." ”

Wang Donghai thought for a while and said, "But we belong to two parties, two different organizations!" ”

Wang Ping smiled and said: "Our Mao ZX once said that the anti-Japanese 'regardless of party and political opinions, unite with the outside world; Regardless of the army and the people, the whole people participate', the Chinese people can defeat the little devils by resisting foreign insults. ”

Wang Donghai thought for a while, picked up the tea on the table and said, "I have such a cup of tea with you, harmonious but different." ”

Wang Ping smiled and said: "Harmony and difference, there are two sides to everything, and people are the same. We will not force you to cooperate with us. ”

She turned her face to look at the calm lake outside and said, "I remember that Chairman Jiang also said that there is no distinction between north and south, and people are young and old, and they all have the responsibility of resisting the war and defending the land. What reason do you have for refusing to cooperate in the War of Resistance? ”

"However, our Chairman Chiang put forward the principle of 'dissolving the Communist Party, limiting the Communist Party, and preventing the Communist Party.'" Wang Donghai answered.

"This is Chairman Chiang's passive resistance against the war in disregard of the general interests of the country and the nation." Wang Ping said sternly.

Wang Donghai thought for a while and said, "What if I didn't plan to cooperate with your party? ”

Wang Ping smiled indifferently and said: "You don't talk about cooperation against your will, I know that you are afraid that you will get too close to us unknowingly." Near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, you are afraid of being red by us, in fact, this kind of worry is not necessary, your stationmaster Zhang is our good friend, harmonious but different. Her words were plain, homely, but the meaning was beyond words.

Wang Donghai wanted to say something, but opened his mouth and didn't say it.

Wang Ping stood up and said calmly: "Harmony and sameness, harmony and difference, in short, everyone is in the same boat, facing the dangerous waves, we should be on the other side of the boat and help each other in the same boat." After she finished speaking, she looked out the window again.

Outside the window, there is a pleasure boat on the lake, walking slowly .......

When Wang Donghai heard this, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke, and he was a little dazed and at a loss.

He really didn't understand that Professor Zhang, Liu Zifeng and Miss Wang Ping, their image, their demeanor and conversation, were really far from the legendary "bandits". He had a strained face, but in fact his heart was hanging. He was a little afraid to have more contact with them. However, there is a sense of affection for them in his bones, which is not as simple as curiosity.
