Anti-Japanese War: My strategist joins the game and awakens the small map!

Spring City.

In a courtyard, Lin Huchun returned here from Guiyang Mountain after many twists and turns.

The courtyard is filled with the fragrance of books, a screen stands in the garden, and bamboo chairs are placed under the eaves of the courtyard.

Lin Huchun was leaning there, and in front of the bamboo chair was a tea table made of sandalwood, where Lin Qingmei was washing the tea set.

“Merchants have roots…”

Lin Huchun leaned back on a bamboo chair. Before the Japanese invaders set foot on this land, he only believed in letters and believed that profiteering was the essence of a businessman.

Today, the chamber of commerce he founded is still the largest chamber of commerce.

But his control was slipping away bit by bit, and the entry of the Japanese devils made the entire chamber of commerce chaotic.

Lin Huchun had a clear premonition that within three years, the entire Chamber of Commerce would be completely out of his control.

And his grandson, who was inexperienced in the world, was definitely no match for those old foxes. This was just as Lin Tianchen said, businessmen did not consider their roots, which was the biggest scam in itself. Just like the Chamber of Commerce, it was gradually falling into the hands of the Japanese devils.

While Lin Huchun was thinking, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps.

This made Lin Huchun stop thinking and look up at the person who came. He had a young face and was dressed in a well-fitting suit.

"Grandpa, we can't be so pedantic, otherwise the entire Chamber of Commerce will collapse sooner or later. This batch of supplies only accounts for less than 5% of the Chamber of Commerce's inventory."

"But if it is handed over to the Imperial Army, we will be able to expand a lot of business in Spring City, Ice City, Shengjing and other places in the next year."

"Besides, our relationship with them can be further strengthened. It's easier to do business with talented people at the top."

After Lin Shouzhong stepped in, he stood next to Lin Huchun and went straight to the point.

In order to further expand the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Shouzhong fought for a long time before getting this opportunity.

Now, as long as he takes some supplies out of the Chamber of Commerce's inventory and sends them to the Imperial Army, he will be able to get more cooperation opportunities in the next year.

The only thing he lacks now is Lin Huchun's consent, so that he can have the opportunity to mobilize funds and use some inventory.

"Do you know how many people this little bit of food can feed, and how many Chinese people it can kill?" Lin Huchun leaned back in the bamboo chair and glanced at his grandson.

The suit he wore was very fitting, but he looked very unsightly, and even his young face unconsciously corresponded to Guiyang Mountain.

Maybe his clothes are not as clean as his grandson's, but the purity of his eyes is far better than his grandson's.

"Grandpa, it's been more than ten years. Don't you understand the situation?"

"The change of dynasties has always been the general trend of history. We are just a speck of dust in history. What did I do wrong? It's just like the Qing Dynasty entering the Pass."

"Also, Grandpa, don't you know who is responsible for the Chamber of Commerce's survival?"

"You taught me all of this personally. As a businessman, you need to have a long-term vision. I just made this choice because I have a long-term perspective."

"I haven't done anything harmful, nor have I killed anyone. I'm just doing what a businessman should do."

Lin Shouzhong stood up directly, his eyes fixed on his grandfather. It was he who personally taught him all these business principles.

But now, he told himself not to cooperate with those people and to put his country first.

Lin Huchun sighed softly when he heard this, and looked at the young face in front of him with cloudy eyes without saying a word.

This also made Lin Shouzhong look at Lin Qingmei, indicating that she should stand up and say a few words for him.

However, Lin Shouzhong looked at his sister, shook his head slightly, and said something that surprised him a little.

"Brother, I think grandpa is right."

Lin Qingmei washed the tea set and poured a cup of tea for Lin Huchun.

But as soon as these words came out, Lin Shouzhong's face paused, and his face was immediately full of confusion. He was a little confused as to why his sister, who had always stood on his side, had changed so much after going out with grandpa once, and even changed her stance.

"Qing'er, come here." Lin Shouzhong thought about it and couldn't help but speak.

Lin Qingmei subconsciously glanced at Lin Huchun, and seeing the latter nodded slightly, she took a step forward to follow.

Outside the courtyard, archway.

Lin Shouzhong looked at his sister, and said in a restrained and serious tone:

"Qingmei, the Imperial Army is currently negotiating with Hans Tiger. If the two countries cooperate, it will be a great opportunity for us. If we miss this opportunity, there will be no chance at all, and our entire Chamber of Commerce will have a hard time in the Northeast."

Lin Shouzhong saw the figure coming out and said in a serious tone.

The opportunity is right in front of him. If he misses it, the bargaining chips for his cooperation with the Imperial Army will be reduced a lot. From his point of view, he is absolutely unwilling to miss such an opportunity.

What surprised Lin Shouzhong was that Lin Qingmei didn't show much of a stir at his words.

"Do you really think that there is a future in cooperating with the Japanese?" Lin Qingmei asked in a low voice.

From protecting herself at the beginning to seeking profit now, she really feels more and more.

"The future? If we don't cooperate with them now, there will be no future, don't you think?" Lin Shouzhong's voice became a little louder.

Lin Qingmei nodded first, then shook her head. After pondering for a moment, she organized her words and then spoke:

"Although we were hailed as VIPs at the train station on our way to Shengjing, the Japanese soldiers looked down on us from the bottom of their hearts. At the time, I kept wondering why. It wasn't until I met the commander of the Tiger Guard Brigade and he said something that finally dawned on me."

"What?" Lin Shouzhong's eyes flashed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

“Science has no borders, but scientists do…”

"What does this have to do with us..."

“Merchants also have roots.”

Lin Qingmei interrupted her brother and spoke in a low voice. After a slight pause, she spoke again:

"We are not rootless duckweed. Our roots, our home, are here. If our backbones continue to bend, we will never be able to hold our heads up again."

"If the Japanese cooperate with us, we will only be slowly eaten away, and in the end, nothing will be left. The soldiers fought bloody battles on all fronts, but for what? The Tiger Brigade could have lived well inside the Great Wall, so why did they choose the Northern Expedition?"

Lin Qingmei's blunt questioning made Lin Shouzhong, who had originally wanted to refute, gradually fall silent.

After a long time, Lin Shouzhong sorted out his thoughts.

"Do you really think that the Tiger Brigade alone can change the Northeast?" Lin Shouzhong said in a serious tone.

"I don't know. I only know that the Japanese are destroying our nation and our race, while they are defending their country."

Lin Qingmei shook her head. As soon as she said this, the outside of the gate fell into deathly silence.
