The Japanese, often referenced as "Japs" and less often as "Nips," blockade and occupation of China's ports is discussed, and the rebuilding of China's destroyed rail system is called the work of "slave labor." The "New China," which refers to the Republican government-in-exile in Chongqing, is shown as connected to the outside world only through the "narrow-gauge" Indo-Chinese railway and the "camel caravans" from the Soviet Union across the Gobi Desert. (The railway is described as "limited" and "too near Jap territory to be safe", but French compliance in closing the line for Japan is omitted.) The construction of the Burma Road between Lashio in Burma and the truck road to Kunming is then described. A task said to have needed seven years with the most modern machinery is shown being constructed with simple laborers in less than twelve months. Japan's assault on the junction of the Pinghan and the Longhair Railways at Zhengzhou (then called "Chengchow") is shown having been prevented by the induced flooding of the Yellow River, but the immense death count involved is quickly passed over as another example of trading space for time. The guerrilla warfare behind Japanese lines is lionized and treated as nearly unique in the war.
