Chapter 445: Downtown Manhattan (Part 2)
Actually, what Chris said can't be said to be completely wrong, but it's a bit exaggerated.
During the day, Lin Quan and the others at least didn't feel the danger!
Although the United States is a country where guns are legal and almost everyone owns a gun, owning a gun does not mean that they can carry a gun on the street casually.
Buying groceries on the street and arguing, buyers and sellers took out assault rifles and clicked, the picture was too beautiful to imagine......
In fact, there are relatively strict laws on gun ownership in the United States, some states have strict gun regulations, some states are relatively loose, and because the United States is a federal country, the laws of different states may be different, and it is legal to possess guns in this state, but it may be illegal in another state.
So the probability of encountering guns on the street during the day is relatively low, except for the police, who are simply not called police, they are simply killers.
Their police are responsible for enforcing the law, and their roles are different from those of the domestic police, and if this is the case, Chinese people will definitely not be used to going to this strength.
"No wonder everyone says that the United States is strong, it does seem to be very powerful!"
I didn't experience any bad New York subway, after all, the reputation of this subway was already outside, Lin Quan and they came to another place, a place that often appears on TV or in movies - Manhattan, New York!
There are many attractions in New York, such as Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of New York, and many other famous attractions.
But when it comes to which one is the most valuable to visit, different people have different opinions.
Lin Quan likes to see Manhattan's financial street anyway, there are a lot of buildings here, and it looks very prosperous, from the perspective of modern society, this is an incredible place in the human city, compared with Lujiazui in the magic capital, it only wins and does not lose, and don't forget, the buildings on this side of Manhattan have been basically completed before the fifties of the last century, like the Empire State Building in Brooklyn, which has been completed for nearly a hundred years.
The shock that Lin Quan feels now has been felt by countless people decades ago.
It is no wonder that everyone said that the United States was too strong to defeat, and even many intellectuals and talented people sent abroad by the government tried every means to stay in the United States after graduation, but they were unwilling to return to China.
Lin Quan can probably understand their thoughts now!
More than 30 years have passed, and there is still a big gap between China and the United States, not to mention that more than 30 years ago, when China had just reformed and opened up and had just come into contact with Western countries, the huge sense of disparity was indeed very easy to crush people's confidence.
Was the United States as developed as it is today 30 years ago? The answer is yes, maybe this time will be postponed for a few more decades, and after the end of World War II, Americans have already reached such a place!
The most favored country on earth is definitely the United States, this is indisputable, because its geographical location is really good, the vast land, the wide plains, the protection of the two oceans, can be attacked and retreated, and even if it cannot become the world hegemon, it can definitely protect its own interests from infringement, provided that they do not split.
"I wonder why you gave up this part of North America in the first place, why did you give up such a good land?"
Lin Quan looked at Denise with a smile, and Denise gave him an angry look.
"You ask me, who do I ask!"
This was all hundreds of years ago, and she was not from the era of the British Empire, how could she answer such a question!
Probably the British Empire of that era was short-sighted!
It is also said that the geographical location of Britain itself is relatively poor, which is conducive to the edge of the European continent, and it is afraid of being suppressed by the hegemon of the European continent, and it is afraid of being separated from them and being separated by the other party's economy and military technology, so it has always maintained a distance from the European countries, constantly provoking contradictions among European countries, thus preventing the unification of Europe.
If it weren't for the British, the continent might have stabilized long ago in the Napoleonic era.
And they have been focusing on the European continent, to the overseas colonies to take a blood-sucking attitude to raise the base camp, which led to the Boer War, but also led to the colonies of contradictions continue to backlog, North American independence is the first step, directly down to more than a hundred years, its vast colonies have been separated from their rule, after the ebb tide, the British found themselves only the native British Isles, as a result of Ireland also became independent......
It seems that the conspiracy to engage in secession in other countries has finally turned against themselves......
"Well, it seems to be a bit short-sighted, if the population of the country had been transferred and developed here, there would have been nothing to do with the United States, maybe the British Empire still exists!"
Lin Quan touched his nose and thought about what the world that still existed in the British Empire would be like!
Then he felt that, with the urine nature of the British, if they were still an empire on which the sun never set, then the world would not be as good as the world ruled by the Americans!
If you choose the lesser of two evils, it is better to choose the United States, although the Americans have not done good deeds, but compared with the British, it is still slightly more reliable, gentlemen often only look like gentlemen on the surface, and may be filthy in the heart.
"Wow~"
Maybe it was because it was a little cold, Xiao Sihua, who was sleeping in the stroller, cried at this time.
The two didn't have the heart to chat, so they hurriedly gathered around to take a look.
"I'm peeing my pants again, it's so unruly!"
When I lifted my clothes, I saw that the little guy's diaper was already wet, and the feeling of urine on the buttocks, coupled with the cold wind, must be very uncomfortable, so the little guy probably cried for this reason!
"And said, hurry up and find a place to help her change!
Denise knocked on Lin Quan's head, urging him to quickly push the little one's stroller away, and she was going to find a bathroom to change her diaper.
Lin Quan nodded, looked at it, and found a McDonald's, well, it's you!
I don't know if customers who eat at McDonald's will mind asking about the smell of children's smelly urine, but at this time, I can't care so much!
After entering the store and finding the bathroom, Lin Quan handed over the car to Denise and found a place to sit down.
However, when he saw the clerk looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed, as if it was a bit unreasonable to enter here and use someone else's bathroom for nothing without ordering anything.
There was no way, his face was thin, and he couldn't wipe his face, so Lin Quan ordered some food under the concerned eyes of the clerk.
PS: Can I ask for a little referral ticket......
