Chapter 3073 Overseas Chinese Street

Chapter 3073 Overseas Chinese Street

All three members of Albert's family died.

He was brutally killed by Japanese soldiers.

Originally, this incident happened before, and all the Filipinos could choose was to endure silently.

The premise of enduring is that although they live like years, they can barely survive after all.

But it's different now.

They couldn't survive at all.

Either be killed by the Japanese or bombed by the U.S. Air Force, even if they can escape the two, they will starve to death in the end.

Left and right are dead, if this continues, what other hope is there?

Might as well give it a go.

It's just that such a thing needs to be organized.

However, the vast majority of Filipinos, that nerve, has jumped to the moment it is about to rupture.

After all, that moment has come.

Manila, Binondo.

This is Manila's Chinatown, which is across the river from the Spanish capital. It was established in 1594 and is the oldest Chinatown in the world.

The area is dominated by four parallel streets, Houjiezai, Zhouzai'an, Zhibinbin, and Wangbin, and there are about hundreds of streets and alleys.

Most of the people living here are descendants of Chinese.

In all fairness, although many of them have lived here for generations, they still have Chinese blood in their bodies.

They possess the wisdom and hard work of the Chinese, and use their minds and bodies to create their own wealth.

However, the arrival of the Japanese changed all that.

They were squeezed and bullied, but they survived tenaciously.

As early as when the U.S. military began to bomb Manila and supplies gradually became scarce, they had already foreseen possible future situations.

Therefore, under the leadership of some prestigious people, more overseas Chinese in Binon began to hoard supplies and put them in secret places for unified storage in case of emergencies.

It turned out afterwards that this decision was completely correct.

After the supplies in Manila were completely cut off, the overseas Chinese living here have not yet reached the end of the mountain.

The leaders of those overseas Chinese secretly distributed food to each family every day to help them survive.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the Japanese still heard the news that overseas Chinese reported to the group to keep warm.

During Masahiro Homma's administration, even though he sent people to inquire and even checked, nothing was found.

But with the promulgation of the food requisition order, the overseas Chinese knew that this day would come sooner or later.

They quickly started holding meetings.

In Binondo, the largest surnames are Wang, Lin, and Zhao.

There are more things than Nong, and the patriarchs of these three families basically have the final say.

"problem occurs."

While the heads of the three families were discussing, Wang Jingming rushed in.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" As the patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Xiongyi frowned.

"Something went wrong." Wang Jingming wiped away the rainwater from his head: "I just heard that just last night, the Japanese killed a family of three. The person who was killed was a local Filipino, who seems to be called Ai Bo."

Lin Zishan from the Lin family sighed: "It's nothing new for the Japanese to kill people, it's rare if they don't kill people."

"That's not the case." Wang Jingming said hastily, "I heard that the reason why the Japanese killed them was just because of two pieces of black bread."

what?

The patriarchs of the three families were stunned.

Killed a family of three for two pieces of black bread?

"Are the Japanese crazy?" Lin Zishan asked in a daze.

"It's not crazy, but anxious." Zhao He, the patriarch of the Zhao family, frowned tightly: "Now, the Americans have completely blocked the sea, and the Philippine supplies are cut off.

The issuance of the food requisition order shows that the Japanese are also at the end of their ropes, and they are also in short supply of food.They are not willing to let go of any supplies.

What worries me is that the Japanese have also found this place before, and although they found nothing, they will certainly not let it go.They can kill us for two loaves of black bread! "

"No!" Wang Xiongyi said decisively: "The supplies we have hoarded are our only hope of survival. There are so many more people than Nong, and this is what they rely on. Being snatched by the Japanese is also death!"

"What should we do now?" Lin Zishan asked nervously.

Wang Xiongyi thought about it for a while: "Old Lin, you should immediately organize people to protect our secret material storage place. Lao Zhao, you should go and inform. If the Japanese come, let them grab what they want. The most urgent thing is to survive." With this batch of supplies, it is our greatest hope!"

This is the most helpless choice, however, it is also the best choice!

……

The most worrying thing still happened, the Japanese were not prepared to let Binondo go after all.

A large group of Japanese soldiers appeared in Zhouzi'an, where the Binondolin family gathered.

The leader is Seren Temple of the Gendarmerie.

He knew a long time ago that the overseas Chinese here possessed a lot of wealth.

Despite being plundered countless times, they have not been squeezed dry.

Especially in the case of such a shortage of supplies, the people here still look ruddy!

"Order, everyone leave the house immediately."

Xi Lian Si really issued an order viciously.

The overseas Chinese who had been warned a long time ago left their houses calmly.

The gang of robbers broke into their house.

Xi Liansi really looked at it coldly.

After a while, a bunch of things were piled up in the open space.

Almost everything is available, but the food is poorly burned.

Xilian Temple really beckoned: "Your, come here."

Lin Zishan was called to the front: "Your Excellency, what's the matter?"

"Are you the person in charge here?" Xilian Sizhen said with a serious face, "I know you are."

"Yes, I am." Lin Zishan did not deny it.

Only then did Xilian Sizhen continue to ask: "Where's the food? Where are you hiding?"

"Food? It's all here." Lin Zishan replied calmly: "You have visited every household. We have lived a very hard life and there is no more food left."

"Oh, is that so?" Xi Lian Si really smiled.

Then, he suddenly slapped Lin Zishan's face heavily: "Baga, you lied to the imperial officers and refused to carry out the grain requisition order. Your conscience is very bad!"

With a slap, blood came out of Lin Zishan's mouth.

He wiped off the blood, and said stubbornly: "Your Excellency, everything I said is true, we have nothing to eat, nothing left."

"I'll let you know the price of lying!"

Under Xilian Sizhen's order, the two young men were pulled out.

Xilian Sizhen stared at Lin Zishan: "I'll give you one last chance, where is the food!"

Lin Zishan just shook his head.

"Stubbornness! This is your lesson!"

Xilian Temple really drew out his command knife, and slashed at a young man's body.

With a scream, the young man fell into a pool of blood in pain. After struggling a few times, he completely lost his young life!
