Chapter 39 - the bandits.
Jim is in a car with Basie and some other people. They are a gang and there are about 8 of them in this car with tonnes of explosives and weapons. The leader of the gang is chinese and he doesnt appear to like Jim and doesnt let him go and do favours for him because he seems to hold a grudge against him, maybe because he is british. The chinese dont seem to accept him even after the british helped defeat the japanese with the americans. Basie doesnt seem to care about Jim that much, and jim doesnt fit in that well. He seems to make several revelations about the war and reflects on his own experience a lot in the middle of the chapter. The car makes various stops and the chapter ends with explosion and everyone running for their lives...
