Chapter 521 What a big card(1/2)
Yokohama, Japan, after many reclamations, the land area has increased a lot.
The Terrance docked at the port to replenish supplies.
Since the day when Samuel Goldberg asked Zhao Chuan for a fortune with a dollar, he no longer bothered Rachel Kervis.
When he arrived in Yokohama, he said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Let's go to Yokohama. It's not far from Tokyo. We can also go to Tokyo to see it. I heard it's very prosperous there."
Zhao Chuanxin said: "You go ahead, I will guard the house."
Samuel Goldberg then turned his attention to Rachel Kravis.
Rachel Kervis nodded: "Okay, let's go together. Sister Hua, will you go too?"
Miao Cuihua shook her head.
Jiang Bo geared up: "I'm going, just in time to see what Japanese tailor shops are like."
Why doesn’t Zhao Chuanxin go?
After all, his body is still weak, and he is the mortal enemy of the Japanese. How can he penetrate deep into the enemy's cave at this time?
Miao Cuihua thought so too.
The Japanese hate every resident of Lugang Town.
Because they all hate the Japanese.
Although he did not get off the ship, Zhao Chuanxin still stood on the deck and looked at Yokohama.
The last time he came to Japan, he didn't have enough time, otherwise he would have gone to Tokyo for zero-yuan purchases and withdrawals.
Zhao Chuanxin was wearing a Panama hat, a duffle coat, and a cashmere scarf around his neck. He had a cigar in his mouth and looked at the gloomy sky. Not long after, snowflakes fell.
Miao Cuihua is also wearing a coat, a long skirt underneath, warm pants on her legs, and suede boots at her feet. She is standing next to him with excellent temperament.
She said: "Japan's economy is indeed more developed than that of China, which can be seen from this port. But the people at the bottom are no different from those in China. They are all very poor."
Zhao Chuanxin said: "Then you haven't seen the farmers yet. Japanese farmers have been squeezed so hard that they can hardly survive, so they are rushing to immigrate."
Immigrants from every country will eventually face embarrassing situations.
But Japan is particularly embarrassed.
At this time, many Japanese who came to the American continent wanted to return home during World War II, but the emperor felt that they might become spies for other countries.
And locally, because the Japanese and Germany are allies and both are fascists, the indigenous people don't want to see them either.
In the end, some Japanese had no choice but to join the American army and set up a force composed mainly of Japanese. They joined the European battlefield to help fight against Germany. They fought very hard.
The purpose is to get rid of the embarrassing position.
It can be said that since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese have been destined to embark on the path of external expansion.
Their domestic conflicts must be transferred outward.
But at this time, the Qing Dynasty could not see this. Many progressive people in the country clamored to learn from Japan all day long.
This is what they did when they called out.
Japan has become the most popular country for studying abroad.
Miao Cuihua saw that not far from the port, there were pottery and porcelain for sale, there were craftsmen making tooth carvings on site, there were monks dragging loose robes and long sleeves that were only used by Taoist priests in China, and there were two large wooden wheels pulling carts on the post road.
The old lady...
Bustling, very lively and prosperous.
She pointed at the haggard old lady with a stooped back and gray hair who still pulled the cart and said: "The so-called prosperity is supported by these people."
Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips: "It's not pitiful, you deserve it."
It is nonsense to say that women and children are innocent.
This country should be wiped off the world map.
Miao Cuihua did not refute.
She knew very well that the Japanese at home were very cruel. During the Russo-Japanese War, they held bayonets and used their lives to block the artillery fire of Tsarist Russia. In the Liao region, they did a lot of harm to the local people.
After watching for a while, Zhao Chuanxin turned around and said, "We're going to have hot pot tonight. Let's go down and buy some beef. While there's no nuclear wastewater in this sea, hurry up and cook the seafood here."
At the beginning of the 20th century, Japan aggressively planted spies in China, including Southeast Asia.
However, there are not so many spies in their home countries.
The captain of the Terrance was white, the crew were white, and the passengers who disembarked were also white. The white man was the Japanese father, so there was no suspicion at all.
After all, it is not unloading, it is just replenishing supplies, and no customs inspection is required.
In the evening, everyone had a hot pot meal on the boat, and the next day the boat left Yokohama and headed southwest.
During this journey, there were many seabirds, circling around the Terrance every day.
The crew members cursed and sometimes fired guns into the sky to chase them away.
Because they had to wipe the deck, the seabirds pooped too much.
We often encounter various oncoming ships, some of which are passenger ships and some of which are cargo ships.
The boat bypassed the bay, passed by the Dongsha Islands, and headed straight for Hong Kong Island.
Zhao Chuanxin originally planned that "I" had better return to the city-state to get the reward before arriving in the country.
But until I arrived at Hong Kong Island, "I" was still on the way.
Without the damage caused by the war, it will be difficult to move forward.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at the Victoria Harbor getting closer and closer, and felt a little disturbed in his heart.
He has never been a fan of foreigners. In the 21st century, when he was only in his early twenties, he had a fight with an American while traveling in the south.
The American was the boyfriend of a Chinese girl who opened a clothing store. At that time, his girlfriend went to the clothing store while Zhao Chuanxin was smoking outside and waiting.
The American devil did nothing, and relied on his Chinese girlfriend to eat and wait until death. He raised a hamster. He let the hamster out to look for food, but Zhao Chuanxin was so frightened that he did not dare to leave the cage.
The American soldier then yelled at Zhao Chuanxin, cursing with a high amount of "f".
Zhao Chuanxin didn't say anything, he just went up and fired an electric cannon.
At that time, he was physically weak, but the American was also a pretty boy. The two fought evenly, with bruises and swollen faces, and were eventually pulled apart by their girlfriends.
But Zhao Chuanxin doesn’t think that learning from other people’s strengths is tantamount to being unpatriotic. Can’t you see the consequences of the Qing Dynasty that closed itself off to the country?
Thinking of the past, Zhao Chuanxin showed a smile on his face.
Miao Cuihua was also a little excited, maybe because she missed Jiang Mingxin. She hadn't seen her daughter for more than half a year, and this was the longest separation between mother and daughter.
But the most exaggerated ones are the three foreigners Samuel Goldberg, Rachel Kervis and Jiang Bo.
They stood on the deck shouting and waving towards Victoria Harbor. Unexpectedly, they thought they had relatives and friends on Hong Kong Island.
"Hello, I'm here."
"There is such a beautiful port in the East!"
"It's a worthwhile trip."
On the surface, Victoria Harbor is calm and calm, and the two sides of the river are busy.
But there is an undercurrent.
When we were in Yokohama, Japan, no one noticed the small Terrance.
But upon arriving at Hong Kong Island, everyone on the pier immediately noticed the ship.
Among them are people from the Xuantian Sect, police officers sent by the Governor of Hong Kong Island, Luard, and of course... Japanese spies.
As for who disclosed the news?
Of course it was Francis Fuller, the American diplomat who saw Zhao Chuanxin board the ship.
When the Terrance slowly entered the port, Samuel Goldberg, Rachel Kervis, Benjamin Goldberg and Jiang Bo discovered a commotion at the port.
Then a group of men wearing uniform work uniforms began to maintain order and opened a passage.
When the police on the pier saw them, they had to politely step aside or cooperate with their actions.
Rachel Kervis was a little worried: "Is there going to be another accident?"
Samuel Goldberg recalled his experience of being intercepted by armed men in Central America. Although there were near misses, it was always scary.
He pretended to be calm: "The British territory should be fine."
Zhao Chuanxin smiled and corrected himself: "No, this is Chinese territory."
When the Terrance enters port, lower the gangway.
The visitors were guests, so Zhao Chuanxin asked Samuel Goldberg and his family of three to disembark first, followed soon after by Jiang Bo.
Under the boat, a group of strong men in uniforms were crowded.
Samuel Goldberg and the others are not necessarily afraid. At this time, white people have a strong sense of superiority and feel that no matter where they go, no one should make things difficult for them.
But I still feel a little uneasy.
