Chapter 1131 New Japanese New World (Second update, please subscribe)
“...The following is a news report. According to the Soviet Tass News Agency, Soviet leader Khrushchev will launch an attack on Southeast Asia in the near future. State visit..."
Listening to the news on the radio, Zheng Hanjie was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his expression.
The reason why there is such a difference in performance is because in his understanding, Nanyang and Russians cannot pee in the same pot.
Why are we suddenly visiting each other now?
But after a moment of surprise, Zheng Hanjie seemed to have figured something out in Xinyang City and said:
“I didn’t expect that even the Soviet leaders would go to Nanyang, but it’s no wonder they would go, After all, Nanyang is the third most powerful country in the world!”
The third most powerful country in the world!
I don’t know since when, in Kyushu, when people mention Nanyang, they always describe him as "third in the world".
Not only because Nanyang’s economy is now second only to the United States and Russia. There is also the military strength of Nanyang - it has atomic bombs, rockets, satellites, and has also sent astronauts into space.
Economically prosperous and militarily developed.
In short, the third place in the world is worthy of its name.
“Nanyang, it’s really extraordinary!”
While sighing with emotion, Zheng Hanjie cast his eyes out the car window.
Looking at Fukuoka outside the window, Fukuoka is more prosperous now than it was a few years ago, and the traces of the war have completely disappeared. Not to mention here, even Nagasaki, the city that suffered the atomic bombing, has basically completed reconstruction.
Although these cities are not as prosperous as Chang'an, Zheng Hanjie has witnessed the changes here with his own eyes, and how it has transformed from a ruin into a prosperous city. Of course, he has also witnessed the transformation in another aspect - radio, television The Mandarin spoken in the streets, the Chinese character signs on the roadside, and the Mandarin spoken by people all bear witness to this change.
In the past twelve years, millions of occupying troops and hundreds of thousands of Tangshan immigrants have settled here, married local women and had children. They have thrived here, and because of this, this island Changes have taken place, and now the mainstream of the population here is Tang people - more than 70% of the population are Tang people and their wives and children.
Looking at the city outside the car window, these people in a foreign land have turned this place into a home, Zheng Hanjie smiled and thought to himself.
“Actually, this is quite good.”
Yes, this is also quite good, but it also depends on the person. For people like Zheng Hanjie, life is really difficult now. It is very good. Although Kyushu is far less prosperous than Nanyang, its development speed is astonishing. The economic boom also attracts many Japanese to come here to work. For these Japanese, they have five flavors in their hearts. Miscellaneous.
Because it was a break, Matsushima Jinichi did not work in the factory. As we all know, there are no weekends in factories in Kyushu. The rule here is - work 12 hours a day and only have half a day off every week.
This half day is often when the business of movie theaters, pubs, and food stalls is at its best. Workers in factories will come out to watch movies, drink, and go shopping. Of course, Songdao is no exception. Unlike those who were not used to the high-intensity labor in factories, Matsushima, who came out of the prisoner of war camp, thought that these factories under military management were just like kindergartens, and work was easy.
Even Songdao put forward some management suggestions based on his experience in the prisoner of war camp to further improve the factory's production efficiency.
This also allowed him to be successfully promoted to workshop supervisor, and he would get an extra fifty yuan a month - this is a Kyushu circulation coupon. The exchange rate with the US dollar is fifty yuan to one US dollar, which is much more valuable than the Japanese yen. .
I have to say that these factories run by Tang people are very willing to pay for their meritorious personnel. He only earns 300 yuan a month, and now his salary is increased by 50 yuan!
Because of this, Songdao is quite satisfied with his current life. I can't wait to find out some more details and combine them with the experience in the prisoner of war camp to further improve their work efficiency.
At that time, promotion and salary increase will be completely normal. Of course, workers must have to work harder.
But who cares about those workers?
As long as you can live a good life.
Get four to five hundred yuan a month!
Where can I find such a high salary?
But this does not mean that there are no regrets. For example, now, Songdao comes to this street again, looking at the grocery store not far away, Songdao’s mood is mixed - that The grocery store with "Chen Ji Daily Miscellaneous" written on it once belonged to him. It was a store that had been passed down by the Songdao family for three generations.
But now it has changed to another owner - Chen Renhe. He is a sergeant in the occupying army. Because he is in the reserve force, he does not need to serve in the army. He is now in the store.
While Songdao was looking at his former home longingly, a woman walked outside the store.
"Keiko..."
That was his wife, his former wife, but what about now?
But she became someone else's wife - Chen Renhe's wife, and gave birth to seven children for him. Not only that, even his mother gave birth to two children for him!
It is simply against human ethics. Even if you do it, you have to do it quietly.
But this kind of thing is normal in Kyushu. In order to resist the Allied forces, almost all the men here were killed, and those who were alive were imprisoned in prisoner of war camps. Matsushima's father was killed in the battle. On the battlefield, he was imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp. At that time, he had just married.
Without a man, there is no one to rely on. In the famine after the war, in order to survive, countless women fell into the arms of the occupying forces. There were even mothers, daughters, and sisters. As for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it was normal. , even more common, because there is less psychological pressure. "What a fucking bitch..."
Once again, Matsushima couldn't help but curse. Although he cursed, his heart was still full of reluctance. After all, Keiko was his middle school classmate and his first love.
"Hiichi..."
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind, but it was not Japanese, but Mandarin. Turning back and looking at the middle-aged woman holding the child in one hand and holding the child in the other, Matsushima's expression became a little complicated.
“Ah, mother.”
When she saw her son, Yumei seemed very happy and said quickly.
"Renichi, you have a day off today, right? You're going to have dinner soon, but can you stay for dinner?"
Yumi's invitation seemed a little hesitant, because she knew that, For my son, some things are unacceptable.
"I, I think..."
Just when Songdao was about to refuse, a man's voice came from behind.
"It's Brother Songdao, he's here as soon as he comes. Hurry up and come home. Don't see anyone else. This is your home!"
As before, when he saw Songdao, Chen Renhe was still the same. He enthusiastically took the initiative to invite, and at the same time took the younger daughter from the eldest daughter-in-law, and then invited her again.
"Daughter-in-law, go buy some braised vegetables. Let's go home first. Let's have a couple of drinks together."
Hearing this, Songdao was surprised. Chen Only then did Renhe react and said with a naive smile.
“Look at me, let’s talk about our own things from now on, you call her mother, I’ll call you brother...”
Without even waiting for Songdao to refuse, Chen Renhe pulled him home without giving him a chance to refuse.
After eating this meal, Songdao's mood became more complicated. For no other reason than this, this is his home, his mother, his wife... But all of this is the past.
Yes, he once had it all, but now, it all belongs to the man in front of him.
But despite his complicated mood, he still finished the meal. While eating, he looked at his docile mother and ex-wife, and at the honest and enthusiastic Chen Renhe. Songdao had only one thought in his heart - his mother Yes, who caused all this!
Damn Hirohito, if he hadn't started the war, he would have been locked up in a prisoner-of-war camp in Nanyang for ten years. How could he lose everything?
Not to mention it belongs to him personally, even Kyushu...has become someone else's.
Is this the price of starting a war?
On this day, Songdao was drunk. When he left, he also left staggeringly. At this time, dusk had fallen, and all kinds of neon lights were blooming on both sides of the street. They were red and bright. , jumping like a raging flame in the deserted air, awakening sleeping desires. Under the red neon lights, women wearing various cheongsams and fur coats stood there in the cold wind. They would always stop. Attract guests.
Although "going to Nanyang" is the choice of many Japanese women, not all of them have the opportunity. After all, not everyone can learn Mandarin. Nowadays in Nanyang, even "trainees" have requirements Yes, you need at least a score of 60 on the "Academic Mandarin Proficiency Test", otherwise, you can only hope for nothing.
There are thresholds in Nanyang!
Precisely because of the threshold, some women from this state chose to work in Kyushu due to lack of livelihood. Some women entered factories, and some ended up as street girls, soliciting business on the streets.
Walking under the flashing neon lights and looking at the women on the roadside, Songdao walked over and negotiated the price with her in fluent Mandarin. Soon, they got into a small roadside hotel. The soundproofing in the hotel is very poor, and there are all kinds of sounds, except the breathing of men and women, and the sound of people talking.
"Hey, these Japanese women can be really exciting. When we take them back to the military village this time, Lao Lin and the others will definitely be jealous to death..."
"Haha, that's not true, you said This life is really fucking strange. A few years ago, when we were soldiers, we fought against Japanese women. Now that we are no longer soldiers, we will have to deal with Japanese women every night.”
Although we are in bed. , but Songdao also recognized their identity - veterans of Bay Island. In the past few years, a large number of Bay Island veterans have retired. Most of them are single. There are so many women in Bay Island!
Because the veterans have many compatriots in Kyushu, they all go to Kyushu to find women. Although the economy of Bay Island is not as good as Kyushu, the women who come from the countryside of Honshu and Shikoku do not care about it. After all, the environment of Bay Island is It's better than Japan. Marrying those veterans is at least better than staying in Japan and suffering.
As a result, more and more veterans came to Kyushu, and even went to Honshu, Shikoku and other places to find wives. There were even local agencies specializing in blind dates. Listening to their wanton laughter, Matsushima felt It becomes even more complicated.
This is fucking Japan!
Cursing in his heart and looking at the woman on his body, Songdao felt angry and knocked the woman down violently. When he was cursing, he just wanted to vent his inner dissatisfaction. It's boring.
After everything was over, Matsushima lay down on the bed helplessly, pointing feebly at the money on the bedside table, and then lay there motionless, with only one thought left in his mind - fuck, What kind of ghost world is this!
yes! What the hell is this world? After so many years since the war, Japan still has no fucking hope. Even women are fleeing Japan.
Looking at the neon lights outside the window, Songdao felt more and more disappointed, repeating a sense of pride in his heart... What the hell is this world!
