In August, the floods in various rivers near Haigu surged. The Japanese Army Secret Service in Haigu was worried that the water would pour into the Japanese concession, so it ordered Wen Peishi to blow up the right embankment of the canal in Yangliuqing Town and Sangyuan, and floods immediately followed.
Run wildly towards the southwest depression area.
However, the water levels in various rivers in the city are still rising, and the right embankment of the South Canal has lost its ability to resist.
Three days later, the floods rushed outside the embankment, which meant that the urban area of Haigu was surrounded by floods.
The continuous floods make everyone worried.
Although Lu Chengzhou is in the British Concession, he is from Haigu. This is his hometown and his fellow villagers and elders live here.
If there was no war, Lu Chengzhou would definitely go all out to control the floods.
However, Lu Chengzhou stood on the embankment and looked at the vast ocean outside the embankment. Lu Chengzhou could only pray secretly, hoping that the water would recede.
"Mr. Lu, if the rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid the embankment will burst." Zhang Guanglin said worriedly.
"It's going to rain, but there's nothing we can do about it. I guess the dike bursting is inevitable. Tell Daxing General Store to prepare more emergency goods. No one knows when the rain will start." Lu Chengzhou
He warned.
Currently, the prices of flour, rice, and cornmeal in urban areas have increased.
The price in the concession is slightly lower, but not much lower.
"Mosquito incense, matches, candles, and even pickles, pickled tofu, and onions are all prepared." Zhang Guanglin nodded.
"You can invest all your funds. If it's not enough, I'll get some more money. The current price is quite cheap. Once the flood enters the city, the price of these daily necessities will be like a flood, going up day by day.
Rising." Lu Chengzhou reminded.
"How can I use your money?" Zhang Guanglin said embarrassedly.
"As long as we sell at a fair price, we can make a lot of money. This is an opportunity to make a fortune." Lu Chengzhou smiled. His superiors never contacted him, so he couldn't provide funds to the organization.
Lu Chengzhou has already accumulated tens of thousands of yuan on hand. If he adds the funds from the military command that he can mobilize, it will be even more.
Of course, under Lu Chengzhou's order, the military commander also began to hoard supplies.
If floods really rush into the city, prices of various commodities will inevitably rise.
Although Fang Nansheng could contact the Haigu City Committee, that was not on the same line as Lu Chengzhou.
According to underground work disciplines, Lu Chengzhou must not have any horizontal contact with the Haigu City Committee.
"Okay." Zhang Guanglin nodded.
So far, he still hasn't fully understood what kind of person Lu Chengzhou is.
On the surface, Lu Chengzhou was very loyal to the Japanese, and what he did was consistent with the behavior of a traitor.
However, Zhang Guanglin did not see Lu Chengzhou's crimes.
Of the 20,000 yuan rewarded by Chongqing this time, Lu Chengzhou kept 10,000 yuan as activity funds, and Fang Nansheng divided the remaining 10,000 yuan into 3,000 yuan alone.
Fang Nansheng was also very excited when he suddenly got so much money.
Chongqing does not agree with United Bank Bonds, and their only preference is legal currency.
Therefore, the money awarded in Chongqing is also measured in legal currency.
The current common currency in Haigu is Union Bank Bonds. Since the Union Bank Bonds were put on the market, they have continued to depreciate. Originally, the Union Bank Bonds and legal tender were one to one, but now they may have dropped to two to one, or even three to one.
Among ordinary people, legal currency is the real currency.
Although United Bank Vouchers can be used in the concession, the Concession prefers French currency to United Bank Voucher.
Therefore, the 3,000 yuan that Fang Nansheng received was at least equivalent to more than 6,000 United Bank coupons.
For the Haigu City Committee, this is a huge amount of money.
Almost at the moment he received the money, Fang Nansheng had only one thought in his mind: give the money to the organization to play a greater role.
As an underground party member of the Haigu City Committee who had infiltrated the military command, Fang Nansheng directly contacted Gu Sanshi, the study room of the Haigu City Committee.
"Secretary Gu, this is the three thousand French currency awarded by the military commander. Please give it to the organization for me as my party dues." Fang Nansheng solemnly handed the money he just received to Gu Sanshi.
"Your performance was also very good this time, and your superiors praised you." Gu Sanshi took the money, held Fang Nansheng's hand tightly, and said happily.
"If it weren't for the flames, I'm afraid Haigu Station would have been destroyed this time, let alone getting rid of Nozaki." Although Fang Nansheng killed Nozaki, thinking about it now, he still feels scared.
Lin Fan was arrested and rebelled. If Huo Yan hadn't found a way to get in touch with the headquarters, Haigu Station might not have done anything, let alone lead the gendarmerie detachment to the Daguangming Cinema, allowing Haigu Station to take advantage of the situation.
"Who is this flame?" Gu Sanshi said strangely.
"I have always been curious, but so far, I don't know his true identity." Fang Nansheng shook his head.
Huo Yan was the station manager who suddenly landed in the air and had little contact with the people at Haigu Station.
Just like the original match, orders are mainly conveyed through the intelligence team.
"As long as he truly resists Japan, that's fine. By the way, what do you think of Huo Huo's attitude towards the CCP?" Gu Sanshi asked.
"No one who is a real military commander will have a good attitude towards us." Fang Nansheng said slowly.
"Secretary Gu, how is the situation at home recently?" Fang Nansheng asked.
"Everything is fine. By the way, according to the decision of the higher-level party organization, from now on, we will stop using the city's secret radio stations. From now on, our contact with the higher-level organization can only be through secret traffic officers." Gu Sanshi asked.
This is an order from the higher-level party organization. Although using the radio is convenient, it is also easy to be exposed.
The radio station at Haigu station was exposed, wasn’t it because it was used too frequently?
Moreover, the conditions of our party are far inferior to those of the military. Even if the secret radio station in Haigu continues to be used, there will not be a radio station on 24-hour standby in the base area.
"What if there is urgent information?" Fang Nansheng said in surprise.
"This is an order from a superior. No matter how urgent the order is, the computer cannot be turned on again." Gu Sanshi said firmly.
"Okay." Fang Nansheng said helplessly.
On August 16, 1939, in the west of Haigu, outside the south embankment, the water depth reached 5.1 meters, and the embankment appeared to be unsupported.
At 11:50 a.m. that day, the Nanda embankment burst west of Chentangzhuang, and floods rushed to the foot of the small embankment.
On the 20th, the river embankment southwest of Haiguang Temple burst and floods entered the city. The water depth in general streets was about 1 meter, and in the area of the new warehouse, it was 1.8 to 2.4 meters deep. The deepest place actually reached 4 meters.
Except for a few highlands, the city is covered with a vast ocean.
On the next day, the floods continued to rise, with 80% of the city flooded, 650,000 victims, and countless houses collapsed.
Prices in the city are rising, the plague is marching, and floating corpses are floating around. It's terrible to see.
In the city, all cars are not allowed to drive, and citizens can only travel by boat.
