Chapter 1942: Arrived in Hawaii

Among all the countries in the world, the star-stripe country has the largest expansion after the founding of the country. At the earliest, only the 13 eastern states belonged to the Stars and Stripes. Later, East Florida and West Florida were snatched from Spain, and Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee, Atlanta, Alabama and other states were snatched from the "Paris Peace"; Louisiana was purchased in 1803; Oregon was acquired in 1846; Texas was annexed in 1845; New Mexico and California were stolen in 1848. . . . . . Only then has the Star-Stripe Nation as big as today.
Hawaii is the youngest of all states in the Star-Spangled Nation. The Star-Spangled Nation, which did not join until 1959, became a state in it.
At first, Hawaii was an archipelago. Later, the Republic of Hawaii was unified and it was also a constitutional monarchy. But their geographical location is really great, it is a relay station for the east-west route in the Pacific Ocean! Occupying here means a lot of wealth, so it has become a battleground among the great powers: first the Eagle Nation said that Hawaii belongs to them, then France came out and said that this place belongs to them, and finally the Stars and Stripes Nation also came forward, and they even more. Simply send troops here to actually occupy the country. By 1898, Hawaii became an overseas possession of the Star-Stripe Nation.
It has to be said that Hawaii is a place where you lie down and earn money. Almost all ships on the east and west sides of the Pacific Ocean have to transit here. It is one of the most important ports in the entire Pacific Ocean. Therefore, the economic level here is quite high and it is called by the locals. It is the'pearl of God'.
This is not without reason. In the news, we often see Hawaiian volcanoes erupting and local residents have been transferred urgently. In fact, the entire Hawaiian Islands are volcanoes, all emerging from the bottom of the sea. Before humans arrived and lived on the island There are no mammals except seabirds. The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has been erupting continuously for more than 30 years from 1983 to today.
It’s also interesting to say that the earliest overseas immigrants in Hawaii were Chinese. Long before the founding of Hawaii, Chinese people went to do business here. Sandalwood trees are abundant here, and many Chinese people import sandalwood here before returning home. Selling money, so it is called "Honolulu" by the Chinese.
And to this day, 10% of the canteens in Star-Tangled Country are from Hawaii, and this industry was first created by Chinese people. At that time, a Chinese named Chen Guofang sold porcelain and opened a sugar factory. He also became the capital of Hawaii and even became the wife of the king's sister.
With his help, Hawaii at the time did not collect taxes on all Chinese merchants. As a result, more Chinese businessmen went to Hawaii to do business, including Sun Mei's brother, Sun Mei, who is a well-known wealthy man in Hawaii. The "Xingzhong Club" founded by Sun Guofu in Hawaii was funded by Sun Mei.
Although it seems that the Chinese mix well in Hawaii, at present, it is the Japanese who actually "rules" Hawaii! It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is the back garden of the Japanese nation. The largest ethnic group on the island of Hawaii now is of Japanese ancestry. At most, 40% of the residents of Hawaii are Japanese. In almost all Japanese dramas, just mention
vacation
. The first choice is always Hawaii.
Just like "the most terrifying elementary school student in history" Conan, people ask him, where did you learn to drive a yacht? Hawaii; you are in
Where can I learn to drive? Hawaii; where did you learn to shoot? Hawaii; where did you learn to fly a plane? Hawaii. . . . . .
Xiao Peng and the others felt that they had reached a strange place when they were supplying Horunu.
They thought that they would be in the Stars and Stripes, but now Xiao Peng only feels that he is in the Wa:
There are Japanese people everywhere on the road, and the tram is also Japanese, and shops are also open by Japanese people. The first thing I hear when I enter a store is almost always ‘buckle your seven babies’.
The reason for this situation is also related to Brazil.
At that time, Brazil overthrew Portuguese colonial rule and established the Republic of Brazil, but since the abolitionist movement started in Brazil in 1850, Brazil was severely short of labor, and large areas of plantations and farms were deserted. So they want to attract cheap labor immigrants globally.
They first wanted to introduce labor from China. At that time, the Brazilian government sent representatives to negotiate with the Qing government, hoping that the Qing government could organize immigration to Brazil.
But they put forward three requirements. First, immigrants must be Brazilian nationals. In addition, they must drag their families with their mouths, and they must also have a legitimate career in China.
However, at that time, the Qing court still regarded itself as a supreme country, so it rejected Brazil's request on the spot. The Brazilian representative moved to the country of Japan, but the country was very interested in this. At that time, the country’s economic conditions were extremely poor, and a large number of people were displaced. Superstar Neymar, his grandfather is a Japanese.
The ship from the Japanese country to Brazil would transit in Hawaii. Many Japanese people got off the boat and chose to live in Hawaii. In the end, Hawaii became what it is now, and the Japanese people became the largest ethnic group in Hawaii.
It's not easy to find Xingtiao country to visit here, but there are Japanese restaurants everywhere. It is obviously a place that produces seafood, but you can rarely see seafood restaurants here.
The most important thing is that the prices here are really expensive! A bag of Hawaiian sweet bread, buy fifty cents in Los Angeles and four dollars here. It is said that the origin is cheap, but here is the other way around!
Before coming here, Xiao Peng thought it was a tourist paradise, but he really took a look. Hey, poor transportation, poor sanitation, and a world of difference from the imagined Hawaii. The famous Waikiki Beach is in Xiao Peng’s eyes. Li still can't keep up with Qindao No.1 Bathing Beach, and there are many drug addicts who are obviously high in drug abuse. . . . . .
This is not surprising, because the Star Striped Nation, drugs like ‘BING’, are all imported into the mainland from Hawaii. As a transportation hub, it was once the first stop for drugs to enter the Stars and Stripes. It was a little bit of decline until the sudden emergence of Mexico. Of course, it was only a little bit. The average number of drug addicts here is still the highest in the Stars and Stripes. One of the states.
Even Yang Meng's motivation to move forward along the way, the beautiful hula girls, only discovered after arriving here, um, all of them are a little bigger. . . . . . . Regardless of whether the aboriginal people here or the white people, they are all of the kind who are oversized, each weighing the same as Yang Meng's, but there are some skinny girls, but they are all Asians with Western makeup. How awkward. Incompatible with the oriental
Aesthetics. . . . . .
All in all, Xiao Peng found out that there are still more ingredients in some places! Xiao Peng understood that those beautiful spots are always living in photos.
But the interesting thing is: Xiao Peng even saw his own photo here! On a billboard on the edge of the beach, the photo shows me when I was surfing in California.
After all, Hawaii is a world-famous surfing destination, and Xiao Peng, as a ‘surfer expert’, is the target of countless surfers here, so it’s not surprising to see his photos here. However, his veiled S2 image at the time made Yang Meng and others laugh.
"Hey, Xiao Peng, should you ask for their endorsement fee?" Yang Meng discovered that the billboard was an advertisement for surfing goods and used Xiao Peng as their endorsement.
Xiao Peng was also helpless: "My face-covered image has not applied for image protection, so why do I have to endorse fees? It's okay if people don't recognize me?"
Yang Meng shrugged and said, "There are profiteers all over the world."
Xiao Peng laughed: "At least I don't look like Daluo. I have been a free image spokesperson for more than a year with a bunny tooth grin. People don't know if my face is not?"
"Xiao Peng, what is that stuff?" When several people were at the beach, Sun Pengcheng suddenly discovered something interesting: a group of people were diving with strange equipment on their backs, saying that diving was not appropriate, they were standing in waist-deep water. There, they only lie on the water with water glasses, and they also have strange long pipes in their hands.
Xiao Peng smiled at a glance: "You don't even know this?"
Sun Pengcheng shook his head and said: "How do I know? So why are there blisters in the sea? When I look at the turbid sea water, is it pumping air into the sea? No, the machine on the shore is a pump? Don't tell me they are there. Pour water into the sea, is this Nima's brain flooded?"
Xiao Peng replied: "You are really right this time, they really poured water into the sea!"
Sun Pengcheng widened his eyes: "Is anyone really doing such a stupid thing?"
"You don't think they are stupid after seeing their gains!" Xiao Peng smiled.
After hearing Xiao Peng's words, the two became interested and went to the beach together to take a look, only to discover what these people were doing: They were fishing for ivory mussels.
Ivory mussel is also a favorite seafood of Huaxia people. Because it looks more like a little brother, in the eyes of Huaxia people who pay attention to "complementing shape with shape", this is an aphrodisiac food. In China, any food just needs to be followed by aphrodisiac If the word is put on the hook, the supply exceeds demand and the price is high.
In fact, don't look at the filthy ivory clam, but it has a nice name called "Goddess Clam", a marine creature belonging to the goddess clam family. But think about it from another angle. It's not surprising to have this name. Behind any goddess, there is one or countless little brothers accompanying her. . . . . .
Yang Meng suddenly slapped his forehead: "Fuck, I just remembered seeing them, can the goddess clams of our fishery be produced? I didn't see these people working here, I have forgotten this!"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "If you count the time, it can be produced, but the ivory clams there and the ivory clams here are not actually the same thing!"
