In May 1905, a boat leaned on the dock of Suhuad Port. Now the gold rush in Alaska has passed. Although new minerals, such as oil fields, have been discovered one after another, the development costs are expensive due to inconvenience in transportation, and the oil production in the local area, mainly in the Gulf of Mexico, is sufficient to meet market needs. Therefore, there is naturally no need for large-scale development in Alaska's oil. So when the gold was exhausted, Alaski once again returned to the silence and wildness of the past.

After the gold was mined, the gold diggers that were originally spread along the river were abandoned. Even the gold mines that were heavily guarded were abandoned. The original roads were soon covered with weeds, and the tall guardhouses had collapsed. The roofs of the houses where workers lived had been crushed by the snow in winter. Only four bare walls were left. Even the continuous walls of the mining area were poured out. br Novel/

However, due to the advancement of freezing technology, the port of Alaska is still preserved, but now only fishing boats and whaling ships will stay here. Suhuad Port is close to the Aleutian group, where many whales gather in summer, blue whales, humpback whales, minke whales, and sperm whales. MacDonald built a primary processing plant at the port, which is specifically responsible for the processing of cetaceans, seals, and other seafood. This is almost the last trace of civilization left by Alasky.

The US government has no interest in managing this wild land. When the money bought the land was lent to them by McDonald, the government then collected most of the money by selling some of the land to McDonald, and then blocked the port to collect taxes during the gold rush, making a lot of money. However, a few years ago, the tax bureau, the last government agency, also evacuated from Alaski. Now there is no gold. It is better to wait until these aquatic products are transported back to the local area before collecting taxes, so the cost of collecting taxes is lower. Therefore, although Alaska is still in the territory of the United States, there is no government agency and has become a completely outlawed place.

Every once in a while, a cargo ship would arrive here, transporting seafood, and various items needed by fishing boats and whaling boats. However, after the boat docked, some sailors who happened to be in the port discovered that the boat actually brought a lot of passengers.

It is common for ships to come to Alaska. The workers in the aquatic products factory will be rotated every once in a while, and the same is true for the port staff. So, they didn't care much. The people who came down this time were still slightly different, because a large part of them were Oriental.

"Those guys are getting stingy, and they are only willing to hire Oriental people." A sailor looked at the people who were disembarking from a distance, shook his head and said, "These guys are cheap. I just don't know if they have the strength and skills to stop wasting all the things we have worked hard to get... Hey, Habi, you see, there are women, they are Japanese, right? They are finally willing to do some serious things. This is great!"

Qiu Jin, who was regarded as a Japanese woman, just stepped down from the springboard. She didn't know that some sailors regarded her as a Japanese woman engaged in certain smoke-free industries. In that era, because Japan embarked on the road of industry earlier, in the eyes of Westerners, Japanese people were the representatives of yellow people. When they saw a yellow person, their first reaction would always think that they were Japanese. Japanese women were even more famous in the world because a considerable part of the funds for Japanese industrialization were earned back by Japanese women. At that time, Japan almost talked about exporting women's customs and industries as a national policy. So in the whole world, you can almost see Japanese women engaged in smoke-free industries, so when the people of the world mentioned Japanese women, the first reaction in their heads was the kind of industry practitioners that men liked.

Qiu Jin just turned 30 this year. Half a year ago, she and Tao Chengzhang learned from people from Xingzhonghui that in Manila, there was a senior named Chen Guang who was willing to support the revolution, who could buy various weapons from him at a relatively cheap price. So the two of them immediately looked for Chen Guang's way.

More than a month ago, Chen Guang told them that after research, they believed that the reason why the revolutionary party failed in all the uprisings was that the revolutionary party was very unprofessional and lacked training. Therefore, he deliberately organized a study class so that revolutionary patriots who were interested in revolution could have better professional abilities in advance.

"You know, I worked with Mr. Scourge MacDonald, the number one tycoon in the United States, and worked as his bodyguard. Mr. Scourge has always been very supportive of the national liberation of various countries. The support of Mr. McDonald played a very critical role in Cuba being liberated from the Spanish rule. In fact, my idea of ​​organizing a study class came from Mr. McDonald's support for the Cuban Revolution at that time. At that time, Mr. McDonald organized a similar study class in Blackwater, which cultivated a large number of outstanding political and military talents for the Cuban Revolution. Now, important figures in the Cuban government and the army basically have backgrounds in the Blackwater study class.

So I told Mr. MacDonald whether he could also hold a study class for Chinese revolutionaries. Mr. MacDonald was very interested in this, but he had many concerns. You may know that the MacDonald consortium also had some business in China, so he naturally did not want to offend the Qing government directly. Moreover, the power of the United States in Asia cannot be compared with Britain and France. He was also worried that directly helping the revolutionaries in our country like Cuba would probably cause concerns between Britain and France, and it would be bad. So, he had many concerns. But in the end, he told me that Hei Shui has a training base in Alaska, which is very inconspicuous, but the conditions are particularly difficult. If you are not afraid of suffering, you can send people to study there. But this matter must be kept confidential and not publicize it."

Whether it is Tao Chengzhang or Qiu Jin, they are not afraid of hardships. Tao Chengzhang ran around for the revolution, but suffered a lot of hardships. As for Qiu Jin, for the sake of the revolution, he abandoned his husband and son and took a boat to Japan alone. Because he had no money, he could only stay in the lowest-class treasury cabin. There were mostly rogues and prodigal sons around him. Qiu Jin held a Japanese knife and was independent in a corner for days and nights, without eyelashes, so he was able to protect himself. After joining the revolution, there were all kinds of rumors and discrimination. Qiu Jin could persevere and suffered hardships that ordinary people could not imagine. So in the eyes of both of them, since they joined the revolution, they naturally did not fear death, so why are they afraid of suffering?

"Senior Chen, our comrades from the Restoration Association, for the sake of the revolution..." Tao Chengzhang said

"You want to say that for the sake of revolution, you are not afraid of death. Is there any reason to be afraid of hardship?" Chen Guang smiled and took over his words. "Mr. Tao, you also know that I have worked in the Taiping Army in the past. I don't know how many heroes who are not afraid of death in the Taiping Army, but to be honest, I have never seen many people who are not afraid of hardship. For example, you say that our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, whether it is the Heavenly King, or His Highness Dongwang or His Highness Zhong, is a person who is afraid of death? However, whether it is Dongwang or King Zhong, they all like to talk about pomp and life is very luxurious. When I think back to the past Taiping Army, I think that if the great cause is not achieved, I will start talking about it.

Popularity and enjoyment are one of the reasons why our Taiping Army was defeated in the last defeat. For example, the Heavenly King, the Dongwang and others actually have the habit of fearing hardship. Therefore, it is much harder to be afraid of hardship than to be afraid of death. Moreover, if you want to say the Heavenly King, the Dongwang, you still suffered a lot in the years when you were preparing to revolt. To be honest, I have had a lot of dealings with the revolutionaries. Among them, if you are not afraid of hardship, there is no one compared to the Dongwang and the others. In my opinion, there is no one. The Dongwang cannot have a beginning and an end, and the others... It is not easy to be afraid of hardship for a while, but it is really not easy to persevere and not afraid of hardship. I can't stop it."

Speaking of this, Chen Guang sighed long.

"What the senior said makes sense. It's harder than not being afraid of hardship." Qiu Jin nodded and said. She and Tao Chengzhang knew what Chen Guang said that none of the revolutionaries could endure hardships. Chen Guang had previously dealt with Mr. Sun's Xingzhonghui. There were indeed many people in Xingzhonghui who were not afraid of death, but they had to say that they were not afraid of hardship... In short, Tao Chengzhang has always been very disgusted with those who liked to go to brothels if they were bothered and did not make it difficult.

Fortunately, he even got into a revolutionary patriot who was full of plum and poison. However, Mr. Sun himself was not much better in this regard. He was always surrounded by women, especially those little girls who had not grown up. He also liked to be the true heroes, and he was a true celebrity who was romantic and praised. With such a leading brother, the following trends can naturally be imagined. Qiu Jin even thought that senior Chen Guang found the Guangfu Association, and was afraid that there were reasons for his disappointment in the style of Xingzhonghui people.

"In addition, keeping confidentiality is very important. To be honest, I have seen many revolutionary parties, the gangs in the world have a strong taste, too human relations, too face, and no discipline. Therefore, they can hardly keep any secrets. Xingzhonghui has launched several uprisings in recent years, but there is almost no news that has not been leaked. But even if you die, you can't change it. Why do you say that you believe in comrades!" Sure enough, Chen Guang had a lot of complaints about Xingzhonghui in his later words.
