Germany surrendered unconditionally. The newspapers in Peiping did not dare to talk about the reasons for Germany’s surrender, and tried their best to divert people’s attention, saying that the imperial army would fight to the end, even if the Allied forces hit the Japanese mainland, they would never surrender.This "jihad" cliché is played every day, over and over again.The Japanese living in Peiping tried their best to make friends with the Chinese.What they are doing now is not following the will of their superiors, but their own ideas.Some Japanese flattered themselves to befriend the Chinese, and some recognized an old lady from Peking as their "godmother".

At such a time, the Japanese military had no choice but to show tolerance and released some prisoners who hadn't died yet.They also picked out a few scumbags who hadn't broken their bones in the prison, asked them to write a letter of repentance, and then sent them to the interior to inquire about peace and spread rumors of peace.Said: "The imperial army is peace-loving. Wouldn't it be great if China and Japan immediately concluded peace and joined hands to fight against Britain and the United States?" Other than the Japanese, the most busy people are the traitors.They are most attuned to the wind.As soon as Germany surrendered, they were in disarray.Some announce their divorce from their wives, in case they cannot escape the law, at least the property of their wives and children can be preserved.Some secretly send their children to the mainland, stepping on two boats, so as to reduce their guilt of treason.Some sent their relatives and friends to work in the interior, and used the nonsense of "curve to save the country" to cover up their scandal of surrender.

Let’s just talk about the Little Sheep Pen. Director Niu of the Education Bureau lives in a house with four big willow trees at the door.He could no longer bury his head among the piles of books and experimental instruments, trying to sneak out of Peiping.He only walked to Qianmen Station, and the Japanese arrested him and put him in prison. Relying on this wind of tolerance, Fang Liu, the black-haired boy who talked about cross talk, was also released from prison. The neighbors in Xiaoyangquan ignored Director Niu's arrest, but Fang Liu's release from prison caused a great sensation.Everyone surrounded Fang Liu in a swarm, trying to scare him with their tongues.Although everyone didn't have the courage to jointly protect him when he was arrested, but he came out, and everyone must not neglect him.

Fang Liu is no longer the Fang Liu that everyone was familiar with earlier.He has been in prison, and he has seen death and punishment, so he can no longer talk and laugh. In order to earn money to eat, he soon started talking about cross talk again, but when he came and went, he always dragged his head.He couldn't go back to the radio station, and the teahouse refused to hire him again.He can only go to the Tianqiao and the East and West Temples to lay down the ground and earn a few coppers. No matter in Tianqiao or anywhere else, he can always use the sharpest language to vent the resentment in his chest.Not only can he be amusing, but he can also be emotional when he sees the scene, "hanging" current affairs materials into cross talk jokes to arouse the audience's patriotic feelings.

He can strike a chord with his audience with his catchphrases and cynicism.Every time he talks about cross talk, there are three floors inside and three floors outside, and the crowd is so crowded.Cross talk that can arouse people's hatred and give people strength is indeed very popular.He also often went to Ruixuan, asking him to explain new terms in the newspaper and talk about news that he couldn't understand. Ruixuan is willing to be a volunteer teacher, but Fang Liuchang is not allowed to come.It's best to meet Ruixuan on the street when Ruixuan is commuting to and from get off work, and use the aisle to talk.Ruixuan has replaced Mr. Qian and is in charge of editing underground newspapers, so he has to be extra careful.

If Fang Liu came to the house and Ding Yuehan ran into him, something would happen. Ruixuan likes Fang Liu and hates John Ding.Ever since Ding Yuehan heard the news of Germany's surrender, he often came to see Ruixuan.Ruixuan was most afraid that he would encounter him writing a manuscript, but he dared not let him come, so he had to say that he was too busy. In John Ding's view, Germany must have been defeated by Britain.His knowledge of international affairs is very lacking, but he has his own insights. Besides Britain, what John Ding admires most is Germany.He admired the Germans, probably because of the bicycles and chemical dyes made in Germany.He always likes to say one sentence in his conversation: "British products are foreign, and German brands are the most reliable." He said this to show that he also understands international affairs.When mentioning Germany, he must add the word "old" in front of it, as if he and Germany have long been neighbors.

Ding Yuehan had to maintain friendship with Ruixuan, that was his foundation!If the British Mansion reopened again, and Ruixuan ran to tell him that he had a hand with the Japanese——then he could bear it? He told Ray how great Britain was, how much stronger than Germany.He also wanted to draw Ruixuan's point of view, and asked directly: "If Japan is also defeated, shouldn't we kill all the Japanese in Beiping?" Ruixuan didn't say a word, wishing he could kick Ding Yuehan out of the door. Seeing that Ruixuan was silent, Ding Yuehan thought he was right, and quickly added: "I'm in the small sheep pen, and my size is also considered long. Let's see. How about I give those who are number one and number three?" It’s no wonder people look at it. Mr. Qi, you have seen it with your own eyes. I have been from the British government from the beginning to the end. When Mr. Fushan comes back, I will go back to serve his old man. Don’t you think so?”

Ruixuan understood that if he said "yes", John Ding would nod his head and bow down to ask Ruixuan to take care of him, as if whether he could go back to the British Mansion depended on Ruixuan's word; but if he said "no", Ding John would babble again for clarification.He never wanted to talk nonsense with such a lackey. Cheng Changshun brought a message to Ruixuan.He said that the Japanese started selling things.Changshun was not willing to do business with the Japanese, and did not buy anything from them.But they had recruited him, and the other drummers had actually bought Japanese things. "Mr. Qi, so the Japanese devils are really doomed. They are busy selling their odds and ends for some cash to go back to Japan."

Ruixuan thinks Changshun is right. "Mr. Qi, have you noticed that they surrendered from Germany," Chang Shun said with a nose, "the Japanese have changed. They bowed to us and laughed with us. You see, Mr. No. 3 closed the door, as if I'm afraid people will go in and kill them." One day, Ruixuan received a letter unexpectedly. Although it was signed by a pseudonym, he could tell at a glance that it was the handwriting of the third child.He was surprised that the third child dared to send the letter directly to his home.In the past, letters from the third child were always sent through secret channels and never passed through the post office.

After reading a few lines, he was relieved.Even when it comes to inspection, such a letter can't find fault. "I saw Mrs. Fat in Lok Ma Lake. Everything she brought was confiscated, so I had to sell her fat body to survive. She had sores all over her body, and pus was dripping from her fingers. I don't pity her, nor There is no need to scold her, she will rot here." Ruixuan knew that Mrs. Fat was referring to Fat Chrysanthemum, although he didn't know where Luoma Lake was, from the lines in the words he could tell that it was not a decent place.He asked Fang Liu, and Fang Liu told him that it was the most inferior brothel in Tianjin.

The Japanese in Beiping were busy with finding godmothers and selling things, while the Chinese in Japan tried their best to find a way back to China.The Japanese mainland was heavily bombed. The Chinese in Japan, whether they were traitors or students studying abroad, were afraid of being buried in Japan and of losing their money.When they saw the bomb, they thought of their motherland. In Peiping, those who had sharpened their heads and wanted to go to Japan were also afraid of going to Japan for business trips and held meetings.They pushed as much as they could, relied as much as they could, tried every means, but refused to go.Life is the most important thing, you can't go to the place where bullets are raining down to find death.Only Lan Dongyang still wanted to go to Japan wholeheartedly.He was ill for a long time.During his illness, he was guarded by a Japanese doctor and a Japanese nurse. The Japanese doctor was sent by the military and had the power of life and death.If Lan Dongyang said one or two words that dissatisfied the Japanese while talking nonsense, the doctor would feed him some poison, so that his eyes could be pulled up and never come down again.But even when Dongyang was so hot that he was talking nonsense, he shouted "Long live the Emperor!" The doctors and nurses were moved, and they spoke well for him, praising him as the most loyal Chinese to the Emperor.They nursed him with tender care and did everything in their power to cure him.Every part of his body was taken with X-rays, and the pictures were sent back to Japan as scientific research materials to see what special structures his heart, liver, brain and lungs had. How could he be so loyal to Japan. Dongyang was still afraid that Ruiquan's bullet would kill him.As soon as he recovered from his illness, he immediately thought of going to Japan to avoid Ruiquan's guns. Because of his illness, his position as director of the Xinmin Association has been given to someone else.He didn't care about it, because the Japanese doctors and nurses had told him that if he went to Japan, he would become a higher official. How could they not believe it? Director Niu was arrested, and the director of the Education Bureau was vacant.The Japanese thought of Lan Dongyang.He was their loyal servant, their tame dog.He has a track record and is absolutely reliable. Yes, Dongyang is willing to be the Director of Education.But he had to go to Japan first, nominally to inspect Japanese education.If he went to Japan, and Ruiquan was arrested and killed again, wouldn't he be able to come back boldly and be his chief in a peaceful manner?Besides, maybe he could get a Japanese wife in Japan, so wouldn't he be the son-in-law of the Japanese royal family? Lan Dongyang went to Japan. Those who went to see him off were all in vain, because he left Peiping quietly at night under the protection of two plain clothes.He was afraid that if he got on the train station and surrounded by a crowd of people, Ruiquan would recognize him right away and shoot him. Those who bought gifts to see him off all sighed after he left, and said to each other, "Lan Dongyang is the best! Japan is bombed every day, but he still dares to run there. Hmph, look Let's go, we want to eat, but are afraid of being hot. People like us will never be able to post it for the rest of our lives." They never imagined that Dongyang never returned to Japan, and they couldn't even find a piece of bones! Lan Dongyang has nothing to do with the five thousand years of Chinese culture.His cunning and cruelty are pure savagery.He belongs to the barbaric era when people eat people and dogs eat dogs.The Japanese warlord launched the war of aggression, just using his dog-eat-dog philosophy, and he climbed higher and higher because of it.Like the Japanese warlords, he speaks human language, wears human skin, has no humanity, only cunning and cruel bestiality. He never thought about what the world should be like, he was just a fly-satisfied with a drop of blood, or a piece of dung.The world has nothing to do with him, as long as there is a mouthful of stinky meat to eat, the world is beautiful. Science advanced by leaps and bounds, and the atomic bomb was invented.It is the greatest shame of mankind to discover atomic energy and first use it in war.Because of this humiliation of human beings, Lan Dongyang encountered a death weapon that was more cunning and cruel than himself.Instead of seeing the beginning of a new age, he could only be blown to pieces in the old age—the old age of man eating man and dog eating dog.
