However, at that time, Italy's national strength was also quite strong, and seeing the dirty water poured on Wang's own side, the Italian ambassador to the United States, Gusani, and Vincenzo, a staff member of the legal department of the embassy, quickly found the fifth deputy of this "nonsense". The fifth mate quickly changed his tune at the hearing, saying that he had guessed the description of the Italian passengers, because the situation was so panicked that it was impossible to tell which passengers were from which country.

Well, the Italians can't be black, and in the end, they are chosen and chosen, and only the Chinese are left. And 6 of the 8 Chinese crew members can survive, which seems to be a very high ratio, and it can even be said to be too high!

Then, those media naturally ignored the question of how the six Chinese escaped, and took the initiative to forget the real situation on the ship at that time, and only took care of the black Chinese crew.

The fact is that after the ship hit an iceberg and it was confirmed that the ship would sink, the crew first informed the passengers in the first class, and even the passengers in the second class did not know the situation at first.

As for the passengers of the third class, they did not know that the ship was going to sink at all, and even if they knew, they would not have been able to escape, because the door to the deck was locked!

“... The hatch was already very critical when it was opened, and people in the third class rushed out. But the problem is that at this time, many lifeboats have been lowered into the water, and although there are still some left, third-class passengers are not allowed to get on board.

At this moment, five of the Chinese found a broken boat on the deck of the big ship, and the others who were running in terror did not expect that it could also be used for survival.

These five Chinese people worked together to throw this small boat, which was actually completely unable to completely get people out of the icy sea, into the sea, and then jumped into the sea, immersed in the water and held the boat.

After the sixth Chinese man fell into the water, he happened to have a door panel next to him, and he relied on this door panel to float on the sea, and he was lucky to encounter a lifeboat, so he was saved.

The six Huaxia people were the last to be put on deck, and they could miraculously survive without being allowed to get on the lifeboat, boss, I personally analyze that there are three reasons. ”

What's with?

William's analysis made a lot of sense, "First, I was lucky to see a broken boat, and second, boss, allow me to pay tribute to your compatriots for their calmness, mutual support, and perseverance in times of hardship!"

If it weren't for the five people with one heart, they wouldn't have been able to overturn the little broken ship into the sea, and the small boat on the Titanic was not light. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Nan was very happy, who said that one Chinese person is a dragon and ten people are insects?

Not to mention anything else, there are only a few armies in the world that can carry shovels to participate in natural disaster relief, except for the Chinese army!

Do you British gentlemen and American GIs dare?!

At this time, Xiang Weirong said: "William, what is the third reason?"

William showed a little sarcastic expression on his face, and said: "Mr. Xiang, this last reason is quite ironic, the first people on the ship to be given a chance to escape are mainly British and American first-class passengers, but because they were too flustered, many people in the lifeboat were put into the water before they were full, but the six Chinese people were rescued and got seats."

If the lifeboat was full, they wouldn't have met it. ”

At this time, Zhang Nan suddenly asked Mark, who was sitting behind him, "I said Mark, what should I do if my family encounters the Titanic?"

Mark was stunned: This assumption...

It's okay that this hasn't crossed this thing yet, but Mark has watched the 30-episode sci-fi TV series "Time Tunnel" filmed in 1966, and the first episode of it is that the protagonist was sent to the Titanic by the time tunnel - Zhang Nan also watched this TV series in his previous life, and it was screened in Huaxia at the end of the 80s, and it was first broadcast in the Zhengda Theater of the Central Ma's Zhengda Variety Show.

It's a pity that because of the deterioration of Sino-US relations in 89, this TV series only aired 18 episodes at the beginning.

After Zhang Nan arrived in the United States, he found a videotape and watched 30 episodes, although the film was shot in the 60s, but even in the 21st century, that film is still very interesting.

Okay, Mark's mind quickly ran out of the plot of the TV series and said to Zhang Nan: "Simple, boss." A lifeboat can seat 40 people, grab one if one is enough, grab two if one is not enough, and kill whoever stops it!

We are bodyguards, and the safety of the boss comes first in any situation, you say yes, Alyosha. ”

Alyosha, who was deadlifted onto the boat, glanced at Mark and popped out a "Hmm." ”

Zhang Nan shook his head and smiled, and said, "Okay, you can become heroes, but you can never become gentlemen." ”

Then after a pause, Zhang Nan said after a wry smile: "I really can't become a hero, I'm afraid of water, I guess if I really encounter that kind of situation, it is estimated that I will be the first to grab the boat, and I will tell you: When Lao Tzu's family is rescued, each person will be rewarded with 10 million!"

Oh, maybe a hundred million. ”

At this time, Xiang Weirong finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, if it is 100 million per person, these guys will dare to kill the whole boat, and then everyone will row a lifeboat to play."

Get down to business, don't go so far. ”

William, Becker and others waited for the conversation between the employer and the bodyguard, and they did not take it lightly: before the real life and death decision, how many people can give up the hope of life to strangers, and face death calmly?

If you ask yourself, the three historians themselves don't seem to be able to do it.

When the Titanic sank, one of the founders of the American "Macy's", the world's richest Mr. and Mrs. Issy Strauss were on the ship, and Mrs. Strauss almost got on the No. 8 lifeboat, but just as her foot was about to step on the side, she suddenly changed her mind and came back to be with Mr. Strauss: "We have lived together for so many years, where you go, I will go!"

She gave her place in the boat to a young maid, and her fur coat to the maid, saying, "I don't need it anymore!"

When someone asked the 67-year-old Mr. Strauss: "I promise that no one will object to an old gentleman like you getting into a dinghy....."

Strauss replied firmly: "I will never get into the lifeboat before any other man." Then, holding the hand of his 63-year-old wife, Ada, the two walked to a wicker chair on the deck and sat down, quietly waiting for the final moments.

Zhang Nan asked himself if he couldn't be as noble as the Strauss, at least not now, maybe he might be able to do it when he reached his age, but now it is absolutely impossible to die as calmly as they did.

I'm not a noble person, or even a good person, this is self-aware.

The topic has returned to the 6 Chinese sailors, the absence of a strong motherland is sad, the Italians are on fire, the British and American media immediately stopped cooking, and what about China at that time?

As soon as the Xinhai Revolution was completed, the land of China was still too busy to take care of itself, and the British and American media had no scruples about smearing the Chinese crew, and they did not have to worry about the kind of thing that happened when they smeared the Italians.

The New York Times on April 21, 1912 also disclosed that in order to prevent the surviving crew from revealing the actual situation of the shipwreck, the White Star Company isolated the surviving crew members into the bilge of a ship, and sent armed personnel to strictly guard them, and also ordered the crew to "keep quiet, otherwise you will lose your job at the White Star Company!"

However, these things to discredit them should not have been known to the six rescued Huaxia people at that time.

Because the people rescued on the Titanic were first sent to an island called Da Ellis, and then to New York. At that time, the United States had a Chinese Exclusion Act, and the six Chinese sailors were not allowed to enter the United States, so they left the next day and boarded another ship to Cuba to continue their crew life.

With the exception of the six surviving Huaxia crew members, all other rescued people were allowed to enter the United States. This is one of the reasons why the US media dared to spread their rumors so violently at that time, because they were working on a ship to Cuba anyway, and it was impossible for them to know what the US media had to say about them.

Even if you do, you probably won't be able to defend yourself because you're not very proficient in English.

And most importantly, no one was going to look for them at all!

At this time, William said: "At the height of the rumors, many of the passengers in the first and second class cabins, even though they had never met them, claimed to have 'witnessed' their 'despicable acts'.

At that time, racist tendencies were extremely prevalent, and many people, out of this mentality, even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, would naturally 'take sides' when people asked.

He was not allowed to get on the lifeboat, and he managed to escape in extreme danger with his ability, and he was said by many people to be a bad person, and he was not allowed to enter the United States.

It's not fair!

As for who they were, and how they escaped from the shipwreck, it was neither important nor worth caring for many British and Americans at the time. Anyway, in the eyes of these people, 6 of the 8 Chinese survived, which alone is enough to prove that they are bad guys, and then it can also prove that all Chinese people are bad guys, which is very much in line with the needs of racial discrimination and Chinese exclusion bills.

Mr. Allen, Mr. Cameron, Goebbels said that a lie repeated a thousand times will become the truth, and the three of us really want to get into the production of this great film and return history to the truth.

For this reason, the three of us have negotiated that we can not be paid a penny during our time as consultants. ”

Zhang Nan nodded and said, "It's my honor to have three more upright people join in to restore the historical truth, but the reward still has to be paid."

Starting this year, the consulting fee of $100,000 a year will increase by 10 points per year until the film is released.

And, three, and Mr. Cameron, you will gain the friendship of me and my family. ”

An additional $100,000 a year in consultant fees is a lot of money for three historians who already have legitimate careers, and the friendship is a big deal!

Yes, if not anywhere else, almost the entire Wall Street wants Mr. Allen's friendship, which is even more bullish than Corleone said in "The Godfather".

As long as luck wasn't too bad, for the four of them and their families, with the friendship of Mr. Allen, it would be a proper prosperity for hundreds of years.

Of course, this also comes at a price, just like what is said in "The Godfather", if others give you friendship, then you also have to pay your own loyalty - not the kind of loyalty of the bodyguards, but to serve Zhang Nan wholeheartedly.

This is not a difficult task for Cameron and the three historians, it is just a matter of course.

Finally, Alfred talked about the only Japanese on the ship: after the sinking of the Titanic, a British passenger wrote in his diary: a Japanese man violently pushed others away and forced them into a lifeboat.

At that time, the only Japanese on the Titanic was named Masafumi Hosono, who was able to escape that year, but he carried the notoriety of "despicable survivor" until his death.

In 1912, Masafumi Hosono was the head of the Japan Railways Institute, and it is also recorded that he was the Minister of Transport and was inspecting the railway network in Europe. After studying and inspecting in Russia and Britain, he boarded the Titanic from the United Kingdom to North America.

At 1:40 a.m. on April 15, the last lifeboat was being lowered to the surface, and legend has it that at this time, Masafumi Hosono disguised himself as a woman and climbed onto a lifeboat full of women and children at the risk of being killed by sailors.

This is the most vicious version, and there is also a theory that he pushed others away, jumped into the lifeboat himself, and then mixed in with a group of women and children and picked up a life.

Whoever let him be a Japanese and survived, the survival rate was 100%, and Japan at that time was not the Japan after World War I, and it was not comparable to the European and American powers - the backing was not strong enough.

No matter what the situation or the facts are, no one condemns European and American men if they survive, but you can't be an East Asian Japanese!

At that time, Japan attached great importance to reputation, and in the face of many rumors and reports against him, Hosono was dismissed from his post as Minister of Transport in 1914, and worked part-time in the office until his retirement in 1923.

In 1939, Masafumi Hosono died in disgrace, but he did not defend himself, supposedly because he thought it was a shame to be alive compared to those in the city.

His diary was later discovered, when Masafumi Hosono was living in second class. According to his diary, he was woken up by the sound of the hatch that night, and he stood on the deck, wearing only pajamas and a jacket, and a waiter threw him a life jacket and ran away.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he followed the surging crowd down to the third-class deck.

When he reached the deck, he found the lifeboat being lowered into the night water, and the fire was so bright that the people were surprisingly quiet, and he wrote: "Not a single passenger wailed or screamed. ”

But he said he was alarmed, and the women were being put on the lifeboats, while the men were retreating at gunpoint.

He wrote in his diary: "I tried to stand calm until the last moment and not to do anything that would degrade the dignity of the Japanese, but I realized that I was searching and waiting for any possible chance to escape." Just then, an official shouted, "Two more!"

In his diary, he said that he was terrified that he would never see my wife and children again, and he jumped into the lifeboat.

Zhang Nan knew that in 1997, Hosono's diary was verified by the American Titanic Research Group and judged to be correct: when the disaster occurred, Hosono Masamune boarded the No. 10 life raft, while the British passenger who accused him of forcibly boarding the ship was on the No. 13 life raft.

It is also said that there were still 2 seats on the No. 10 lifeboat at that time, and among the third-class passengers waiting to be boarded, Hosono was a second-class passenger and had priority.

It is important not to ignore that Hosono Masafumi's diary, which was discovered in the early 40s, was written shortly after the shipwreck, and it is timely, truthful and impartial, recreating that tragic historical scene - in particular, it is confirmed that the crew blocked the passengers of the third class on the lowest deck, leaving them with no chance of survival!

Is the first version or the second version used in Hosono's escape? This is the need to watch the movie, or not at all, this is completely unhappy to see Zhang Nangao - the first version of pretending to be a woman and a child is very shameful, but it seems a bit unbelievable and unrealistic;

As for the second version, it's just a normal human reaction, and if there is a short shot in the movie that depicts this paragraph, the Japanese side will 100% welcome it.

As for whether it is or not, it doesn't matter at all to Zhang Nan and the movie itself.

Restore the historical truth, this is what Zhang Nan has to do, and give justice to the six Chinese crew members who did not die and all the Chinese.

As for the others, the lie that it becomes true after a thousand times is not just a joke!
