Chapter 207 Cruel Rule
Chapter 207 Cruel Rule
The "Good Citizen Certificate" system was soon fully implemented in the city of Jinling.
The Japanese pirates set up registration points in every neighborhood and forced all citizens to register and have their photos taken.
They recorded each person's name, age, address, occupation and other information in detail, even fingerprints and palm prints.
The "Good Citizen Certificate" also has the eye-catching Japanese pirate logo and the words "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" printed on it.
This is not a certificate of good citizenship at all, it is clearly a mark of slavery!
"From today on, you must remember that you are no longer Chinese, but subjects of our Great Japanese Empire!"
"You must learn our language, accept our culture, and obey our rule!"
"Only in this way can you survive in this world!"
The Japanese pirate officer stood on a high platform and spoke loudly to the people who were queuing up to register.
His words were full of arrogance and conceit, as if they were the masters of this world.
The people dared not speak out and could only endure the humiliation in silence.
The implementation of the "Good Citizen Certificate" system allowed the Japanese pirates to completely control the city of Nanjing.
They can interrogate, search and arrest anyone they suspect at will.
Countless innocent people were thrown into prison or even killed on various trumped-up charges.
Although the people of Jinling City were spared from the massacre, they inevitably fell into the hands of the Japanese pirates!
Jiang Shiyuan can no longer change this by leading the people to rise up in resistance.
Only by expelling the Japanese pirates as soon as possible can we truly save the hundreds of millions of working people in China from slavery.
At the same time, the cultural enslavement of the Japanese pirates began to intensify.
They forced schools to offer Japanese language courses and prohibited students from learning Chinese, attempting to fundamentally eliminate China's traditional culture.
"From today on, you are not allowed to speak Chinese anymore. You must learn the language of our Great Japanese Empire!"
"You must learn our history, understand our great culture, and become outstanding talents of our Great Wa Empire!"
The Japanese pirate teacher stood on the podium and yelled at the students in stiff Chinese.
Students were forced to learn distorted history and culture, and their hearts were filled with anger and humiliation.
“Why do we need to learn this stuff?”
"How are our own language and culture worse than theirs?"
"We don't want to be slaves of a conquered nation!"
The students were silently rebelling in their hearts. They longed for freedom, for light, and for returning to the era that belonged to them.
"Why can't we speak our own words?!"
A childish voice sounded in the corner of the classroom, trembling a little, but also containing unyielding anger.
The speaker was a boy of about ten years old named Chen Hao. His thin body concealed great courage.
"Baga!" The Japanese pirate teacher turned around and glared at Chen Hao, "Do you want to rebel?!"
Chen Hao met his gaze without fear, "We are not rebelling, we just want to speak our own language and learn our own culture!"
The other students in the classroom were inspired by Chen Hao's courage and echoed him, "Yes! We must learn our own culture!"
“We don’t learn Japanese!”
"Get out of our school!"
"Bang!" The Japanese pirate teacher slammed the table, and the whole classroom fell silent.
"How dare you, Chinese pigs, rebel against the Great Japanese Empire?!" He gritted his teeth and roared, "Shut up!"
"Whoever dares to say a word of Chinese again will never leave this classroom alive!"
The threat from the Japanese pirate teacher made the students fall silent again, but the anger in their eyes did not diminish at all.
The cultural invasion of the Japanese pirates is just the tip of the iceberg of their evil deeds.
In the city of Jinling, a more brutal economic plunder is quietly unfolding.
The Japanese pirate army forcibly took over the banks and shops in Jinling City and controlled all commercial and trade activities.
"From today on, all shops must accept the management of the Great Japanese Empire!"
"All commodity prices must be set according to our rules!"
"Anyone who dares to trade privately will be treated as a spy!"
The Japanese pirate officers, accompanied by a group of soldiers, went door to door announcing their "new policy".
The commercial order in Jinling City was completely disrupted, prices soared, and people's lives became miserable.
"A pound of rice is sold for five silver dollars. This is simply robbery!"
"My shop was forcibly requisitioned by the Japanese pirates, and they didn't pay me a penny!"
"All the money we worked so hard to earn was taken away by the Japanese pirates!"
The people complained bitterly, but had no place to seek redress.
What’s even more hateful is that the Japanese pirates also began to levy various exorbitant taxes, further squeezing the people’s hard-earned money.
"What? I have to pay a 'security fee'?"
"We protect ourselves, and we have to pay?!"
"These pirates are even more vicious than bandits!"
The people were forced to sell their property, even their children, to pay these unreasonable taxes.
The greed of the Japanese pirates was like a bottomless pit, devouring all the wealth of Jinling City.
They also plundered various resources in Jinling and surrounding areas, including food, coal, metals, etc.
The looted resources were continuously transported to Japan to power their war machine.
"Load all the food into the car!"
"All this coal belongs to our Great Japanese Empire!"
"Quick! Take away all those metal materials!"
The Japanese pirates waved their bayonets and looted all the supplies in the warehouse.
The gold, silver, jewelry, cultural relics and antiques they looted were shipped to Japan, where they were either enjoyed and squandered by Japanese military officials or flowed into the black market to become a tool for them to make money.
"These are the treasures we stole from the Chinese!"
"Hahaha, with this money, we can live a fairy-like life!"
The Japanese pirate officers looked at the gold, silver and jewelry, their eyes flashing with greed.
In order to satisfy their own selfish desires, they did not hesitate to turn the city of Jinling into a hell on earth.
What is even more outrageous is that the Japanese pirates also encouraged and supported the opium trade, allowing opium dens in Nanjing to operate openly. Countless citizens became addicted to drugs and their families were broken up.
"Come, come, here's the best opium. It's guaranteed to make you feel high!"
"Just one puff and you'll forget all your worries!"
Opium dealers stood in the streets and alleys, shouting loudly, delivering the evil drugs to the hands of desperate people.
The crimes committed by the Japanese pirates are too numerous to list. They wanted to destroy not only the physical body of the people of Jinling, but also their spirit.
However, even in this endless darkness, the vast majority of people in Jinling City still did not give up hope.
They rebuilt their homes from the ruins, and they believed that one day, justice would defeat evil, and light would dispel darkness!
