At 10 o'clock in the morning, Shanghai Huamao Hotel Plaza.

Because public radio is installed on the side of the square, and information such as finding people and recruiting workers is often broadcast on the radio, and sometimes even storytelling is even heard. Therefore, every time the broadcast time comes, a large number of Shanghai citizens gather in Huamao Plaza.

Although it is not public broadcast time now, there are still many people gathering in the square, including students, workers, white-collar workers, and even wealthy businessmen, but more are refugees!

At this moment, everyone turned their heads and listened quietly to the sounds coming from the radio.

A naughty child just quarreled and immediately attracted the strictest look of his parents. He was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything again! Even the baby in the cradle became particularly quiet.

During the radio, a low Ningbo accent was speaking.

"Comrades, although we won the Wuhan Battle, it is not easy to win!"

"In order to win the Battle of Wuhan, the 200,000 officers and soldiers of our Wuhan Garrison District held Wuhan for two months and paid a heavy price of more than 150,000 sacrifices. Even the just-concluded Xiaogan and Yunwu Mountain Encirclement and Annihilation Battle, we also sacrificed 50,000. The war was fierce and cruel!"

"Our warriors are not afraid of sacrifice!"

"But as living people, we cannot let the soldiers bleed and cry!"

"We cannot let the soldiers' parents lose their support, and we cannot let the soldiers' children be unsupported!"

"Our soldiers have already dedicated their precious lives for this country and this nation. We can no longer let their spirits in heaven be unable to rest in peace!"

"Friends, please lend your help!"

"Please extend your help and do what you can for these lovely warriors!"

"To be honest, as the leader of a government, I feel very ashamed to say such words on the radio. It is the government's responsibility and mission to pay attention to the fallen soldiers and treat injured and disabled soldiers. How can I push this responsibility to the general public? How can I be so irresponsible?"

"Friends, we really have nothing to do!"

"First, the four eastern provinces fell, then North China fell, and not long ago, Central China also fell!"

"The country's financial and taxation sources are almost exhausted. We have done our best to support two million troops, and we have borrowed a lot of foreign debt!"

"Originally, no matter how difficult it is, I wouldn't speak out!"

"But now, we have won the Battle of Wuhan, our army and our country are about to move into a strategic counterattack. At this time, compatriots across the country and overseas Chinese need to work together to concentrate all their manpower and material resources to expel the Japanese invaders from China to restore the sovereignty of our China!"

"Comrades, victory is not far ahead!"

"Friends, please lend your help!"

"Comrades, let us unite, accumulate all our strength, and launch a general attack on the Japanese invaders!"

In an instant, the entire square became jubilant. Whether it was students, workers, white-collar workers or businessmen, they were all inspired by the radio speech, and cheered with their hands looking at the love.

After a while, a student shouted slogans.

"Long live the Chinese nation!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"Punish Japanese invasion from China!"

"The Chinese people are invincible!"

Amid the students' enthusiasm slogans, workers, white-collar workers and businessmen walked towards donation boxes placed on the edge of the square, donating their meager salary or only wages!

But there are also rich merchants who donated huge sums of money!

Among the crowd enthusiastically donating, I saw the socialites dressed up again.

A Western scholar happened to pass by Huamao Square. When he saw this scene, he said with emotion: "If even their prostitutes know how to be patriotic, then this nation cannot be strong even if it is not strong!"

...

It is not only the wealthy merchants in Shanghai, but also the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia.

At this moment, in Singapore, Mr. Tan Kah Kee gently turned off the radio.

After closing his eyes and sorting out his thoughts, Mr. Chen Jiageng opened his eyes and said, "Butler!"

An old butler wearing black framed eyes and older, slowly came to Mr. Chen Jiageng and said respectfully: "What are the instructions for me?"

He patted the armrest of the chair, and Mr. Chen Jiageng said in a gentle but firm tone: "Sell another 3,000 acres of rubber plantation, and exchange the proceeds into pounds and all the proceeds will be transferred to the account of the Nanqiao General Association, and donated them to the Chongqing National Government in the name of the Nanqiao General Association. At this time of great prosperity, we overseas wanderers should contribute to the motherland!"

...

It is 10:00 am Beijing time and 10:00 pm New York time.

The Hongmen boss Situ Meitang is also listening to the Central News Agency radio.

All the members of Anliang Hall in New York were also listened to the radio with Situ Meitang!

As early as when Mr. Sun Wen founded the Tongmenghui, Situ Meitang was a die-hard player of the Chinese revolution and had always had a close relationship with the Kuomintang.

This time, I also learned early that Principal Chang will deliver a radio speech.

Therefore, Situ Meitang summoned all the members of Anliang General Assembly to the General Assembly early!

After listening to the radio, the entire Anliang General Hall immediately became excited. All members, including Mr. Situ Meitang, cheered because the War of Resistance Against Japan was about to win!

Yes, President Chang's radio speech gave them an illusion.

Finally, as usual, it was fundraising. Mr. Situ Meitang took the lead in expressing his position: "The domestic war of resistance is about to usher in a full-scale counterattack, which means that this is likely to be the last battle against the Japanese invaders, so I will take the lead in donating 200,000 US dollars! As for you, please pay attention to it with your own abilities. If you donate too much, we will always be grateful for the fundraising, and if you donate less, we won't bother!"

As soon as the words were finished, the members of Anliang General Hall stood up to express their opinions.

"I donate one hundred thousand dollars!"

"I donate fifty thousand dollars!"

"I donate ten thousand dollars!"

"I donate five thousand dollars!"

...

"I donate fifty cents!"

"I donate twenty cents!"

"I donate twenty cents too!"

"And I, the youngest donated fifteen cents!"

Except for a few big shots, most members of the Hongmen just make trouble at the bottom of the house. They have limited abilities and can basically only donate dozens of cents.

However, the master in charge of registration was not annoyed, and they were registered one by one.

Finally, although the amount donated by each member of the Anliang General Assembly Hall is not large, the number of people in the Anliang General Assembly Hall is large, and in the end, it is even more than two million US dollars!

And this is just a donation from New York!

There are many halls throughout the United States, throughout the Americas!

All the donations at the hall add up to a huge sum of money!
Chapter completed!
