Chapter 683: Disaster Victims Attack the Train
After very sincere consultations, Zheng Xiaji, Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, representatives of the seven major families and others finally formed a Pingjin congratulations delegation and prepared to go south to participate in the return to the capital ceremony.
Lu Chenghua wanted more people, but he didn't have that much money.
Jinling raised certain questions about why Lu Chenghua spent so much money on the event, and Lu Chenghua started cursing.
Do you know how difficult it is for me?
Do you know how difficult it is to invite these important people?
Money, money, money, money is nothing. The most important thing is that we have established a precious friendship with Major Lin!
As the congratulatory delegation headed south, another group of people also left Tianjin.
After Shazi Yuan left, the appointment from the headquarters was officially made, Gangcun was promoted to general and went to Peking to take up the post.
Matsuzaki was finally discharged from the hospital and returned to Peiping with him.
Before leaving, she held Lin Ze's hand tightly and almost burst into tears at the station.
Before he left, he went to the Jinmen Military Police Headquarters to emphasize: Lin Sang's orders are my orders. If I am not in the Jinmen Military Police Headquarters, Lin Sang is the commander-in-chief! Anyone who dares not obey Lin Sang's orders will die!
Lin Ze quickly stated his position on the spot: I am just Matsuzaki-kun's subordinate, and I only manage the daily affairs of the headquarters for him. The decision-making power for all major and minor matters still lies with Matsuzaki-kun.
Matsuzaki was inexplicably moved. Lin-san was good in every way except that he was too cautious and particular!
How can there be such a good person!
Below the stage, the officers stared at each other in amazement.
No, what are you two doing here?
Mr. Lin is the commander-in-chief. In the eyes of the officers, Major Lin is now the real superior, and Matsuzaki is just an accident!
In early summer, the weather gradually becomes hotter.
A big event happened in the Military Police Headquarters: Director Lin’s office was installed with an air conditioner!
Many people think that air conditioners appeared relatively late, but in fact, air conditioners were available in many places at that time, but generally in public places, because air conditioners are usually large in size and have terrifying power consumption.
However, over the past decade or so, there have been more and more home air conditioners.
The one installed in Lin Ze’s office was sent by Dominic and is called York brand.
In order to ensure the normal operation of this large electricity consumer, Niu Saner specially equipped it with a dedicated generator.
Although the current temperature is still not enough to need to turn on the air conditioner, Director Niu still turns on the air conditioner at noon to make the room as cool as possible.
Providing more comfortable working and living conditions for Mr. Lin has always been Director Niu’s first task!
While enjoying the air conditioning and drinking sour plum soup, Lin Ze observed the goldfish in the water tank, wondering if the change in indoor temperature would have any impact on them.
These fish were brought back from Peking, and I would feel a little sad if they died.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Come in!"
Niu Saner looked serious and said hurriedly, "A large number of disaster victims have gathered on the railway line west of Jinmen West Station. A train from outside the Great Wall to Jinmen and about to go to Beijing is full of flour. There are soldiers in charge of escorting the train. If looting occurs, they are likely to open fire."
Lin Ze put down the sour plum juice in his hand, went to the wall and took down his gun, "Let all the military police gather, call Yu Xuecheng, and go to the West Station immediately!"
………………
This is a time of transition.
At the beginning of the year, there was a severe drought in Henan and Shandong, and it seemed that there would be no harvest this year.
People are unwilling to wait any longer for the wheat harvest. Every extra day they wait may lead to more people starving to death!
Even if you are lucky enough to survive until the harvest season, what will happen? In some fields, the wheat seedlings are only a foot tall, and the ears are shrunken!
Run, escape, if you wait any longer you will die, if you run away there may still be hope!
Later people's impression may be more focused on the great famine that occurred two years later. In fact, such famine-fighting incidents occur every year, the only difference is the scale.
Some took boat or travelled by land to the outside of the Great Wall, some went west to the outside of the Great Wall, and some went north and gathered around big cities.
It is best to have relatives to rely on. If you don’t have relatives, you can only beg for food, and if you can’t get any food, you will starve to death.
In desperate situations, all evil is magnified and all good is submerged.
If a looting incident occurs, what will the Japanese do?
Not to mention the Japanese, even the southerners would choose to open fire when faced with such a situation!
Disaster relief?
They only think about how to take advantage of the opportunity to grab land and buy and sell young girls!
On the railway line, a large number of emaciated victims were moving like zombies.
Some of them were still wearing tattered winter coats, which were their last possessions and they were unwilling to give them up easily.
Some of them only wore rags to get by, and some were even completely naked, using mud as their clothes.
Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!
Old man Li is over 50 years old. His son and daughter-in-law were beaten to death by bandits last year. Later, when the Japanese invaders launched a raid, his wife was hit on the head by the Japanese invaders because she was reluctant to leave a chicken at home. She died within a few days.
He was left with only his seven or eight-year-old grandson. There was no harvest in the fields, so what could he do if he didn't go out?
Old man Li stared at the train that was forced to stop. Someone was trying to open the door!
Several Japanese soldiers kept shouting and cursing, trying to stop them. They wanted to shoot, but they didn't dare to.
If they fail to calm these disaster victims immediately, they will be torn to pieces by the endless stream of hungry people even if they have guns!
"Little dog, follow me closely. If I grab something, you must stuff it into your mouth and swallow it down as hard as you can. Got it?"
The little grandson's eyes did not have the innocence that a child of his age should have, but were instead filled with panic and despair.
"Master, I'm not hungry, stop snatching, you can't beat them!"
Old man Li touched his grandson's head and said, "You haven't eaten anything for two days, how can you not be hungry? Don't be afraid, little dog, grandpa is still strong and he is not old yet!"
Finally, the door of a carriage was opened!
Someone shouted at the top of his voice, "It's white flour, it's white flour!"
The crowd suddenly became chaotic!
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out and the crowd suddenly quieted down again.
The Japs opened fire!
They didn't dare to shoot at the crowd, but fired into the air!
A Japanese soldier gnashed his teeth and said, "Baga Yalu! When the reinforcements arrive, I will kill all these locusts!"
"Damn it! I'm starving to death, and I'm still afraid of bullets! I'm going to die a full death!"
A relatively "young and strong" man rushed towards the carriage regardless of anything.
A young Japanese soldier held his gun nervously and kept muttering, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer!"
"boom!"
The bullet went through the man's chest, he staggered twice and fell to the roadbed.
Instead of calming the victims, this acted like a starting gun.
"Being beaten to death is better than dying of starvation. Let's go together!"
When Lin Ze arrived, he saw thousands of victims rushing towards the train.
The situation is out of control!
"Everyone, fire your guns into the air!"
Hundreds of people raised their guns!
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The victims stopped.
If there were only a dozen devils, they would have the courage to charge forward, but now there are hundreds of them, and the number of victims is less than ten thousand.
They all have guns in their hands!
Old man Li closed his eyes in pain. Is he really going to starve to death here?
