Chapter 735 Divert to Route 66

Xiao Peng and the others embarked on the journey again, and not long after leaving, they received a phone call, which looked like it was from old Bob: "Bob, why did I call as soon as I left?"

Bob Sr. replied, "Shaw, that's right, a San Francisco Times reporter wants to interview you, but you're already gone, so let me make a call and ask if you can wait for her for an interview." This isn't the San Francisco Express Bichi from last time. ”

Xiao Peng thought for a moment: "Forget it." I don't have anything to say, Bob, it's all in the past, and there's no point in mentioning it again, is there?"

Bob also tried to persuade Xiao Peng, but Xiao Peng insisted on not accepting the interview, and Bob had no choice but to apologize to the visiting reporter.

The reporter who came to interview was none other than Sansa, who had left the San Francisco Express and moved to the San Francisco Times. When the editor-in-chief of the San Francisco Times knew that Sansa had the inside story in her hand and could desperately fight her competitors, he was happy and went through the onboarding procedures for Sansa and asked her to follow up on the news.

Hearing that Xiao Peng had left for an interview, Sansa had to say goodbye to Bob with a sad face, and Bob called Eva "Bichi of the San Francisco Express", which made her feel very happy.

After driving back to the office, Sansa wrote a report with enthusiasm, starting from Xiao Peng's encounter with racial discrimination, how when the shark attacked, he rushed into the sea to fight the shark and save Billand, who discriminated against him, especially his sentence 'Powell, if I can't come back, I must remember, find my body, and bring my ashes back to my motherland!' was rendered by Sansa, and Sansa herself wanted to shed tears.

After narrating the incident, Sansa reported the attitude of the San Francisco Express to this incident, including the words of their reporter Eva in the elevator, and finally came to a conclusion: the Chinese Xiao Peng encountered racial discrimination in the United States, but he rescued the sinner who hurt him regardless of his previous suspicions. Such a heroic feat should have been celebrated, but he was once again subjected to racial discrimination, and his feat was deliberately stifled by Eva, a reporter for the San Francisco Express, and finally Xiao Peng was heartbroken and left San Simeon directly. Sansa couldn't help but ask herself: Why did San Francisco, which has always been famous for its kindness to the Chinese, become the way it is?

You must know that one-fifth of San Francisco's population is of Chinese descent! The Chinese New Year has been a statutory school holiday in San Francisco for more than 10 years, and recently this year, from city officials to community leaders, the proportion of elected officials of Chinese descent in San Francisco has even exceeded the proportion of the Chinese population! It is not an exaggeration to say that the Chinese dominate San Francisco. Why did the San Francisco Express dare to do such an act in defiance of the world?

Sansa's problem has become a problem for many San Francisco citizens with the release of the San Francisco Times. The public's finger is directed at the San Francisco Express. The San Francisco Express was caught off guard by this sudden response, and then they resorted to the stupidest way of dealing with it: they didn't admit it.

In the Stars and Stripes, there is no freedom of speech in the media, and you dare to say that you are racist? If you are shut down in a minute, the San Francisco Express naturally does not dare to put this kind of racist hat on its head, and must not admit it.

Who knows that a video and an audio were directly uploaded on the official website of the "San Francisco Times", the video is how Xiao Peng was insulted, how the shark bit Billand away, and finally Xiao Peng confessed his last words, and the wind and water rushed to the sea to end. And that audio is exactly what Eva said in the elevator, and it is considered her unlucky, after getting out of the car, she coaxed the recorder to Sansa, and when she got on the elevator, Sansa happened to check whether the recorder could be used normally, and it happened to record what Eva said in the elevator, which happened to be posted on the official website together.

This can cause an uproar. Where is San Francisco! Where 22 percent of the permanent population is Chinese, and you racially discriminate against Chinese people in San Francisco? What is this not looking for death?

There are a lot of things that the people of the Stars and Stripes like to do, and the demonstrations are undoubtedly one of them, and so the nightmare of the San Francisco Express began, where a group of people from the Stars and Stripes were demonstrating every day, uh, to digress, 99% of the demonstrations there None of them were Chinese, but whites and blacks, and the Chinese were too busy making money to go to the march, and only the Chinese community leaders and government officials participated in the march, and the reason for the white march was simple: you have lowered the image of our Stars and Stripes, violating the basic rules of journalism, and the blacks are doing for their own benefit, and the favorite thing for blacks to do in Stars and Stripes is to march。。。。。。

The small story of a reporter at this newspaper itself spread from San Francisco to the whole of the Stars and Stripes, and the whole country began to protest against racial discrimination, even if the San Francisco Express Firing Eva and their editor-in-chief didn't solve the problem, Eva had been fleshed out, and her beautiful Z4 was sprayed with all kinds of protest slogans: Don't underestimate the art cells of black people, that graffiti is played, how slippery and slippery, Billand couldn't live in the hospital anymore, every day there were people blocking the door at the entrance of the hospital, and they had to go home to recuperate, and these people went to Billande's house to block the door and scold, uh, this greatly increased the number of tourists in the town of San Simon。。。。。。

In this way, a small news event turned into a national anti-racism campaign in the Stars and Stripes. At the end of the event, many people didn't even know why this incident started and came in to join in the fun.

However, the small town of Saint-Simon has become a tourist hotspot as it wishes.

Many tourists come here to see the place where the heroic Chinese people fight with sharks, and by the way, they go to Biland's house to curse. More people came here to get a fish and chips.

Because of the few small dishes that Xiao Peng left here, the restaurant of the San Simon branch of the Best Western Hotel chain has received an unprecedented five-pronged rating from the Michelin Food Guide. That's the highest standard after a Michelin-starred restaurant! Powell and Judy are busy every day, and now they have three more hired people to have fun.

Of course, despite this, they are not happy. Just look at the silly appearance of old Bob standing next to the beach every day.

And Xiao Peng, the culprit who caused this incident, didn't know that these things had happened, and he was still enjoying the mountains and rivers. All the way forward, he has reached Santa Monica.

Santa Monica is a place he is familiar with, the last time he came to Los Angeles, Ah Can took him here to play, and met Eminem and Escuber, who went to Las Vegas together. Xiao Peng can go directly to Las Vegas from here, but Xiao Peng did not go to Las Vegas, but turned in a different direction to Route 66.

This highway is more famous than Highway 1 in the Stars and Stripes, and is known as the 'Mother Road' by the people of the Stars and Stripes, and this road runs from Santa Monica, Los Angeles, to Chicago, Illinoli, in the east, with a total length of more than 4,000 kilometers, spanning the east and west of the Stars and Stripes.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was this Route 66 that saved the Stars and Stripes.

The construction of Route 66 coincided with the Great Depression in Western countries in the last century. In order to solve the employment problem of countless people, the government of the Stars and Stripes began to build this road that traverses the east and west of the Stars and Stripes. The road was built for ten years and provided hundreds of thousands of jobs for the Stars and Stripes, and countless Stars and Stripes families relied on the construction of Route 66 to survive the Great Depression.

So this road is of great significance to the people of the Stars and Stripes: in the movie "Forrest Gump", the road where Forrest Gump traveled through the Stars and Stripes alone is this Route 66, which is the legendary road in the minds of the people of the Stars and Stripes.

The current role of Route 66 as a traffic artery has been lost, but as a tourist route, it has been exerting its residual heat, and countless tourists travel along this road every year to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

Because of this, Xiao Peng decided to take the Route 66 as well, and Emilia raised her hands in agreement with Xiao Peng's decision.

Compared with the banks of Highway 1, the biggest advantage of Santa Monica is that it can be replenished, Xiao Peng has more eyes this time, and buys a lot of spices and the like, and there are many Chinese supermarkets here, so buying spices is not a matter at all.

Just as he was ready to set off with supplies, he found that there was a fishing tackle supermarket on the side of the road, so he had to go in and have a look.

However, Xiao Peng really didn't go to the fishing tackle supermarket to buy fishing gear, he had to make some other preparations----- fishing tackle supermarket in the Stars and Stripes Country is bigger than people think, this fishing tackle store called 'passproshops' in Santa Monica is at least the size of three football fields.

Although it is called a fishing gear supermarket, it sells not only fishing gear, but also fishing boats, boats, speedboats, etc., to be precise, all outdoor products can be bought here. They also sell hunting rifles, bows and crossbows, including pistols and other firearms.

Xiao Peng casually bought two shrinkable lure rods and went to the gun counter. Of course, Xiao Peng didn't come here to buy a gun------ in fact, he couldn't buy it if he wanted to.

In the eyes of Chinese men, there are two things that are not borrowed, that is, the wife and the car, and in the eyes of the men of the Star and Striped Country, there are three things that are not borrowed, the wife, the car and the gun, especially the gun, if you lend the gun to a friend, if the gun has a homicide, it is the owner of the gun who is held responsible.

Because of this, guns should never be borrowed.

Gun ownership is one of the natural human rights enjoyed by citizens of the Stars and Stripes, whether it is a citizen of the Stars and Stripes or a student who comes here, it is legal to hold a gun, and the freedom to hold a gun is regarded by some people as an important part of the culture of the Stars and Stripes, and it is also an important historical tradition, from the western pioneer era two hundred years ago, to today, the people of the Stars and Stripes have always had the habit of holding guns.

Well, it's because of this that the Stars and Stripes keep shootings.

Of course, the freedom to own a gun does not mean unrestricted freedom----- and the procedures required to legally own a gun are more cumbersome than buying a house in China.

Here, legal firearms must be purchased from a legitimate operator or individual. However, legal operators are all too common here. You can buy it at Wal-Mart and supermarkets! There are also gun shops, shooting ranges, gun exhibitions, and even pawn shops and fishing gear supermarkets and outdoor stores.

However, not everyone can buy a gun, according to the law, you must be a citizen of your country or a green card holder and have no criminal record of level 1 to 3 in history, you must not be an illegal use of illegal drugs, you have not been characterized as having a mental problem, you have not been fired from the army, you must not be less than 18 years old to buy a long gun, you must not be less than 21 years old when you buy a handgun, you must not be restricted by the court, you must not have a history of domestic violence, and so on. Utility or cable TV bills to prove that you have lived in the local area for more than 60 consecutive days, and you must also have an ID with a positive profile photo, etc., etc., and there are a lot of documents to prepare, such as passports, driver's licenses, social security numbers, legal residence forms, utility bills, etc., etc.

It is not enough to prepare these materials, you must also participate in firearms training, fill out the application form for buying a gun after participating in the training, and you must also promise that the gun will not be monopolized, otherwise you will face a fine of up to ten years or 250,000 US dollars, and finally pass the review of the FBI before you can legally buy a gun.

For crooked nuts who want to buy guns here, the review conditions are stricter, and in addition to not being able to buy pistols, the purchase of rifles must also ensure that they can only be used for hunting, so they must first apply for a hunting license. Guns can only be purchased after obtaining a hunting license.

However, despite such strict control, the Stars and Stripes are still in a state of uncontrolled guns, and the gun crime rate remains high.

However, it is not the legal guns that are causing this situation, but the large number of illegal guns in the Stars and Stripes.

Buying a CNC lathe here is more than 2,000 US dollars, and it is not too easy to make a few guns with a CNC lathe!

Emilia saw Xiao Peng come to the gun counter: "Xiao, do you want to buy a gun?

Xiao Peng nodded: "I know, there are so many conditions to buy a gun here, and when I buy a gun, the daylily will be cold." ”

But having said that, in fact, Xiao Peng's desire to buy a gun is really simple, he only needs to take out his Yuntong Centurion card and make a phone call, in the country of stars and stripes, this is called 'the power of capital'.

After all, this is a paradise for the rich, and if you have money, you can do anything.

But Xiao Peng didn't want to do that. Isn't it just a poor trip when he comes out to play this time? What's the point of taking out a centurion card?

"And what are you trying to buy?" Emilia was puzzled.

Xiao Peng pointed to the wall in front of him: "I'm here to buy it." ”
