I want to be a good person

The days are calm and pass one by one.

Lu Shaokang returned to Shanghai, and a case happened immediately afterwards. There were too many coincidences, which was not a good thing. The Green Gang Police Station only had porridge and dry rice.

The brothers hid themselves and went completely into hiding. For a moment, there was less contention and more peace in the world.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

With the fall of the tax-collecting center of Jiangnan and the loss of tariffs, the government's fiscal deficit and debt skyrocketed. The economic and military situation was not optimistic and operations were in crisis. The only thing that could be done was to print money.

The main grain-producing areas have either fallen or are in constant war. Prices have tripled and are still rising. Having enough food has become a luxury.

Civilians and soldiers did not have enough food to eat, and even ordinary officials did not have enough food to eat.

The Japanese were not much better either. They began to boast arrogantly that they would destroy China in three months. However, their momentum was gone. Their strategic attempt to control China with China and to fight to support the war was curbed and they were stuck in the quagmire of war.

Guerrillas behind enemy lines are not limited to the Red Force. Blue Force guerrillas also exist. They harass the people and extort supplies, disrupt the economy and finance, and assassinations by the Military Control Commission occur one after another.

Zhang Aiguo gently put down the newspaper in his hand. There are really no secrets these days. People at the bottom of society are poor and unwilling to use their brains, but they are definitely not fools.

The eyes of the masses are sharp. You can hide it for a while, but you cannot hide it forever.

"Shaokang, your behavior is very old-fashioned. You are mature beyond your years. It's not easy to be where you are today."

Old Li glanced at Zhang Aiguo who was drinking tea from the teacup. He did not have the bad habit of being impatient. In one word, he was steady, a steady person beyond his age.

"Master, you are overpraising me. If we make a mistake, we will make many mistakes and it will be hard to recover. There are so many brothers and sisters who have parents and families behind them. We must be responsible for them."

Zhang Aiguo answered modestly.

Since I arrived, I have been doing small things, only doing things within my ability and things that I am sure of. I adhere to the principle of accumulating small victories into big ones, and eat my meals one bite at a time, chewing them slowly.

Without background and connections, if you become arrogant and just eat too much, you will probably not survive past Chapter 199. There are too many capable people and even fewer who cannot accommodate you.

The golden finger is not omnipotent, but without the golden finger, nothing is possible.

Eat as much rice as your bowl can handle. If it’s not enough, you can add more, but you can never exceed the limit.

An unexpected sentence from Old Li made Zhang Aiguo think a lot and triggered a conditioned reflex of self-reflection.

"Shaokang, do we really want to hide away?"

"Master, you and your wife are a little old now, so you should leave many things to the young people. The Japanese are now in a dilemma. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future. The revenge will be too brutal."

"Well, ever since the Japanese invaders forced me to take my ancestral medical books and prescriptions, I felt something was wrong. The Japanese invaders have learned a lot of our ancestors' military strategies and tactics, and they are very cunning."

"Master, we saw it when we came out, and it was also written in the newspapers. The Japanese's "Public Security Rectification Plan" implements the so-called "railway as pillars, highway as chain, and bunker as lock" cage policy. It is estimated that it will be even more difficult behind enemy lines."

"Yes, if it weren't for the ocean, it would be difficult to get out."

Old Li sighed a little, money brings trouble.

The cage and the subsequent Three Alls Policy brought about difficulties, and it was not until the outbreak of the Pacific War that the Japanese transferred their elite troops to Southeast Asia and their military strength was stretched to the limit that they had a chance to catch their breath.

The choices of history can never be changed by human power. It is the general trend and there are no ifs and assumptions.

"Shaokang, is what's published in the newspaper true?"

"It's true. Let's get started. You can't be careless now. If people lose their focus, it will be hard to lead the team."

It's clearly stated in the newspapers, and the facts are out in the open.

At the beginning of the year, the National Government’s military meeting summarized experiences and lessons, adjusted strategic policies, and prepared to launch a winter offensive.

Twenty days later, the Wang Puppet regime will convene a pro-Japanese Blue Party Congress in Shanghai and actively prepare to establish a puppet government. This move will deal a heavy blow to the morale and people's hearts in the occupied areas.

The split of the Blue Team brought about great chaos. The same organization, the same flag, the same military uniform, for a time they were divided into two factions, and Ninghan merged and then split!

Power is really a good thing!

Traitors are more cruel than harsh policies and more severe than taxes.

When the Wang Puppet regime was established, the guerrillas behind enemy lines changed their formations, and various security forces and locust-assistant armies emerged one after another. The number of people increased from 27 in 7 to 8. In 14, the number exceeded 5 million, more than the Japanese invaders, and this record was far ahead.

Has been imitated, never surpassed.

Struggling with livelihood, forced by security, attempting to get promoted and make money, all kinds of thoughts, multiple contradictions, black today, red tomorrow, and blue the day after tomorrow, it's just a clown performance, he will side with whoever is stronger.

What purity are we talking about?

Expanding strength is the first priority. The puppet army is nothing more than a pawn in the struggle for power.

As a latecomer, Zhang Aiguo naturally understood everything.

"Shaokang, when are we leaving?"

"Master, in the next two days, do you and Master's wife want to go out and relax and do some shopping?"

"Forget it. The more I look at it, the worse it gets."

Old Li stood up, his lonely figure made people sad.

Alas, Lao Li is not the only one who has a conscience. It is a pity that he is not in the position to do business and his words are powerless because of his low position.

hero?

Why does it always make heroes cry?

The tea on the table has gone cold. I didn’t expect that so much time had passed. There wasn’t much talk. Just keep silent.

Zhang Aiguo picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

Don’t be sad about the vicissitudes of life, it’s a nice autumn with the cool weather.

"Boom~Boom~, boom"

Without ringing the doorbell, there was a gentle knock on the gate.

Two long and one short.

He paused for about five seconds and repeated it again.

Aunt Wu opened the door and saw a stranger in a suit.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lu Shaokang's home?"

"You go find our master."

"Yes, please let me know, my name is Liu Qinghe."

"Please wait."

The small doors and windows were lowered.

Liu Qinghe waited respectfully.

"Qinghe?"

"gentlemen."

Liu Qinghe was inexplicably excited. He hadn't seen him for a long time. His life now seemed like a dream, something he had never dared to imagine before.

"follow me."

The two walked one after the other. Aunt Wu closed the door and muttered to herself, who is this person?

As a servant, he knew his place, served the fragrant tea, and then left.

"Sir, you are a little late."

"Have some tea first. Did something happen?"

Being anxious won't solve the problem. Don't even think about it. Who else could be causing trouble except the Japanese devils?

Liu Qinghe was a little reserved and took a sip.

"The Japanese asked us to sell our supplies to them, otherwise they would impose a 300% tax on us."

"tax?"

"Yes. It wasn't like this last month, but it started this month."

When doing business, should we avoid associating with the Japanese?

Zhang Aiguo thought about it and thought, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will. They talk big every day but never relax their hands. There are too many people who have two hands.

“Is it profitable?”

“Double the profit.”

"Then sell it."

Is this considered treason?

If you think like that, it's pure bullshit!

Whoever does it knows!

There are always stronger ones among the strong, and they all pee while standing.

I don't submit to anyone but them.
