instead of the "Refugee Circuit Court?"

Don't be stupid.

"War Area" sounds like

it's a big, proper court.

"Refugee Circuit Court" just sounds bad.

You see?

That's right.

Stick with Old Ma, boys,

and you'll be officials

once the famine's over.

Yes sir! We'll be good!

Hear ye, hear ye!

The 9th Circuit Court of the 1st War Area

is now in session!

KneeH.

He was carrying a concealed gun

in violation of wartime regulations.

It's not mine...

my landlord bought it three years ago.

We're at war. Do you understand?

Old Ma,

do what you like,

but don't take the gun.

We need it for protection on the road.

Protection?

L...

From who?

Chinese people?

Why not use it on the Japanese, tough guy?

Want to carry a gun?

Okay.

Tie him to the cart and

take him to the frontline.

Master Fan! Master Fan!

- Save me, Master Fan!

- Old Ma.

Sir! Sir!

Old Ma.

Old Ma.

Three pints of flour for

him and the gun. Deal?

We know each other.

You can either donate money,

or donate manpower.

Everyone has to do their part.

Thank you, sir.

Three pints of flour for him.

We keep the gun.

Fine.

Release him.

Leave the gun.

Three pints of flour?

Bread for lunch, boys!

Dismissed!

Peiji.

Generalissimo. Peiji...

Governor Li.

As for Burma,

a telegram from LuoZhuoying:

We suffered heavy casualties

west of Mandalay yesterday.

More than 800 men were killed

in a gas attack by the Japanese.

I've told Luo

you'll be there today.

The Japanese led a stealth

attack on Yenangyaung last night.

More than 7,000 British troops

and trucks are trapped.

Field Marshal Montgomery sent a telegram

asking us to send troops from Mandalay

to rescue Yenangyaung.

President Roosevelt's private secretary

has arrived in Chungking.

He asked to see you,

but I told him you'd be going to Mandelay.

As for Nanking,

Zhou Fohai sent a secret envoy

that he is setting up a covert

radio station at his home

to evade Wang Jingwei.

Dai Li met with the secret envoy yesterday.

Please advise.

As for India,

Gandhi's hunger strike was successful.

Hindu and Muslim

leaders have agreed

to stop the bloody conflict and

are on a path of reconciliation.

How long was the hunger strike?

Seven days.

Hitler and Mussolini met yesterday.

They said that in three days

the German army will occupy Stalingrad.

Our embassy in the Soviet Union, however,

says the outcome of the battle

of Stalingrad is far from clear.

Please tell the British embassy

that when I visit India next month

I would like to meet Gandhi.

As for northern Henan,

General Jiang Dingwen sent

a telegram yesterday.

Most of our troops have crossed

the Yellow River and are in position,

but the Japanese have not yet made a move.
