Chapter 17: This Age!
The plane landed at Narita Airport, which had just opened for operation this year.
Before landing, Chen Xu deliberately leaned on the window to look at the 17 most famous nail households next to Narita Airport, because at the beginning of the construction of the airport, the government and the airport did not fully communicate with the farmers to start the construction without authorization, and also had a bad attitude and tried to violently demolish and relocate. In order to protect their rights, vegetable farmers in the vicinity of the airport refused to move, and swore to resist the government's forced land expropriation without paying money, so that only one of the three runways at Narita Airport was built.
The spirit of these nail households against the government was strongly supported by the Japanese left-wing movement during this era, which encouraged them to fight against the government and the airport, and until 40 years later, there are still eight nail households still stubbornly surviving.
Qian Junming's nervousness on the road had been replaced by freshness and curiosity at the moment the plane landed, and even regardless of the danger of the plane descending, he just leaned over and squeezed in front of a porthole with Chen Xu to stare outside.
"Where is this? Is this Tokyo? "When I arrived in a strange place, the most popular question for ordinary people is this, if it was someone else, I might not be able to answer it, but Chen Xu is too familiar with this place, and I don't know how many times I have been here in my previous life.
"This is Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, this is a new airport that was just built this year, and it is still more than 60 kilometers away from Tokyo!" Chen Xu put his face on the porthole, looked at the outside world, and explained.
"This Japanese is really weird, why is this county in front of the city?" Qian Junming laughed.
"It's not that people are weird, it's the dual structure of the central-prefecture that they developed by imitating the administrative organs of the Tang Dynasty, and Chiba Prefecture is Chiba Province. In order to better manage the country, it was our territory that was later changed to a central-provincial-municipal triadic structure. Chen Xu pointed out seriously beside him.
Qian Junming rolled his eyes, "Hi...... You kid knows everything about astronomy and geography. ”
"Take! Concession! Chen Xu licked his lips and said triumphantly
"You said that the Japanese had invaded us, would they be vicious to us, if that is the case, I will not get off the plane." Zhong Jian also wanted to squeeze over to see the outside, but the seat was too far away, and he didn't dare to unbuckle his seat belt, so he could only stretch his head in the hope of seeing the scenery outside.
Chen Xu shook his head and said directly: "The times are different, and the people created are also different. The current Japanese people worship Grandpa Mao to the extreme, and you may not know in China that our Grandpa Mao is a great mentor of revolutionary youth all over the world. The left-wing movement that swept through Japan in recent years was guided by Grandpa Mao's thoughts. The Japanese people like us very much and are very friendly to us, so you don't have to worry about these problems. ”
Modern people only know that the Japanese right-wing is the resurrection of militarism, and everyone shouts and beats it, but in fact, it is just dozens of old miscellaneous hairs tossing there. As everyone knows, in the sixties and seventies, the development of left-wing forces in Japan under the theoretical guidance of Grandpa Mao's thought was surging, and it spread to almost the whole of Japan.
Because of the expansion of the imperialist power of the Soviet Union and the United States imperialism throughout the world, the younger generation like Japan is extremely disgusted with these two world powers. Grandpa Mao was the strongest and toughest anti-imperialist leader in the world at that time, coupled with the spread of China's ten-year convulsion movement abroad, these young people began to launch a large-scale revolutionary movement under the influence of the great Grandpa Mao's thoughts.
Among them, the Japanese Red Army, which was formed during the movement, was the most affected, and they took Grandpa Mao as their spiritual mentor and were particularly loyal to China. They opposed the encirclement of China by US imperialism, attacked US military bases with bombs, blew up the tombstones of war criminals such as Hideki Tojo and Ishine Matsui with explosives, and even directly plotted to assassinate the emperor.
At that time, if someone dared to say a bad word about Grandpa Mao in front of the Red Army, these radical young people would really kill you, even more ruthless than the domestic Red Soldiers.
Rather than the nonsense at home, the Red Army fought for China at the forefront of the fight against capitalism. It's a pity that as China and the United States go hand in hand for their honeymoon, this is simply a naked betrayal of the Japanese left-wing movement, leaving these people without spiritual support, and then turning into a terrorist organization......
The charisma of a great leader knows no borders!
The domineering aura he exudes, even if it is far away from the ocean, can affect those young people with ideals.
Any decision made by his old man has its own reason, and history will judge its merits and demerits in a hundred years. In later generations, those people in China, who read little books and were not very literate, casually read a few articles on the Internet, and maybe even the Americans wrote them in the back, so they thought they had learned something inside, and slandered Grandpa Mao everywhere. Obviously he is an oppressed person, he has little money in his pocket, but he wants to help the resurgent magnates and capitalists wave their flags everywhere, and they don't know it when they become dogs, which is really sad!
Even China itself has become like this, and Japan is not to mention it. With the death of Grandpa Mao and the reform and opening up of China, the Japanese left-wing movement lost its spiritual guidance, and the bloody repression of the government soon died down.
Entering the terminal building, almost all the people in the group were not enough to stare around the hall, and this modern building was shocking to them.
The Japanese side has already made reception arrangements, and as soon as the exhibition group got off the plane, there were already two Japanese receptionists who spoke Chinese to lead the way in front, and when they got on the bus, the two receptionists respectfully sent a can of soda to each person.
"Little Five, what is this?" Qian Junming flipped up and down and looked at the cans and bottles and said strangely.
"It's a soda to drink." Chen Xu shook the jar and said with a smile.
"There's no bottle spout here, how can you drink it!" Zhong Jian sat next to him and studied the can, and asked inexplicably.
"There's a pull tab on the top of this jar, just break it open and pull it off." Chen Xu looked at the colleagues in the car holding cans and didn't know what to do, so he had to say it loudly so that everyone in the car could hear it.
Cans were introduced into China in the early eighties, and the famous Jianlibao does not yet exist, and at this stage, the country is dominated by glass bottles, and the members of the group have seen cans for the first time, and it is normal to not know how to use them.
After quenching my thirst with a soda, the bus started and headed for Tokyo.
"Director Chen, where are our things? Let's not look at it, what should we do if we lose it! After getting into the car, Zhong Jian kept looking around, obviously very nervous about the propeller.
Chen Xu waved his hand and comforted: "Don't worry about them, the Japanese side will help us transport them to the exhibition hall intact, they are all ordered in wooden boxes, there is absolutely no problem." ”
"That's it, I hope nothing goes wrong!" Zhong Jian muttered in a low voice, this old man is a manager, and he has been worrying about the propeller all the way.
Entering the urban area, everyone's attention is attracted by the surrounding high-rise buildings, and the modern metropolis is extremely impactful for the Chinese people of this era, shaking their hearts.
Chen Xu didn't feel anything about this, just looked out the window blankly, thinking about his next move.
The three buses stopped at the entrance of Hotel Okura, and when they got off the bus, they walked to the main entrance of the hotel, and the group members were overjoyed to be able to stay in such a luxurious hotel.
"Why did you arrange a five-star hotel for us, is our head so arrogant?" Chen Xu vaguely felt that something was wrong, and Chen Xu asked a middle-aged official standing beside him who was in charge of the management of the regimental members on the plane.
This middle-aged official seemed to know Chen Xu's background, so he didn't dare to be official, lowered his head and said with a smile: "This time we came to the exhibition at the request of the Japanese side, and the Japanese side is responsible for arranging the reception of all the itineraries, and I didn't expect them to be so polite to arrange to live in such a good hotel." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xu's brows immediately furrowed, even if the Japanese are hospitable and generous, they will not arrange a five-star hotel for the Chinese delegation to receive them! This is a bit unreasonable, and there must be a reason why the Japanese side attaches so much importance to this matter......
"I hope it doesn't affect my plans!" Chen Xu narrowed his eyes and thought in his heart.
Plans always can't catch up with changes, Chen Xu has always thought that this is an ordinary commodity exhibition, but in the current situation, it seems that there is something else in it for the Chinese delegation, and it may even be a political task.
Chen Xu and Qian Junming shared the same double room, while Zhong Jian shared a room with other team members.
Qian Junming walked around the room, and couldn't stop sighing at this bed and this sofa, especially for the color TV, and he didn't dare to sit on the neat and snow-white bed.
Chen Xu took off his formal suit at will, took a shower and changed into casual clothes, and then pulled Qian Junming and walked out.
Go next door to find Zhong Jian, the old man is still sitting upright on the sofa with the can of soda, chatting dryly with another member of the group, in the unfamiliar environment they haven't adapted to the surroundings for the time being, and they don't dare to go out and walk around, so they can only sit in a daze.
Pulling Zhong Jian out, the three of them walked to the hall, and Zhong Jian asked, "Director Chen, are you taking us to the exhibition hall of the expo to see the venue?" The head of the regiment wants us to have a good rest tonight and go back tomorrow! ”
"Go to a woolen fair, and today I will treat you to eat puffer fish. Those who come to Tokyo and don't eat fugu are fools. Chen Xu walked out with the two old men in his arms left and right.
"It's too expensive to eat out, it's not good!" Zhong Jian was a little embarrassed.
"You don't have to worry about this, I made a lot of money studying abroad, and I have been saving it useless after returning to China. Eat, drink and be merry, of course. Chen Xu knew that the two old men were worried that they would use the money given by their father to spend it outside, and it would be difficult to explain it after they went back, so they squirmed and refused to go.
This is the first time the two old men have gone abroad, and it is very likely that they will come out for the last time, so it is reasonable for Chen Xu to entertain them and let them return happy.
It was only after going to the street that I found that many of the attractions in later generations had not yet been built in this era, so I walked around the streets of Tokyo for two or three hours, ate a lot of snacks, and finally took two curious old men to climb the Tokyo Tower to enjoy Tokyo from a high altitude.
After eating puffer fish and drinking a little wine, the night scene of Tokyo was blurry and bustling, and Chen Xu accompanied two drunken old men to wander slowly in a small alley.
After the country became rich, it continued to demolish and rebuild, and the city changed every three years and six years, and it was already another place in ten years.
Now the country has not become rich, in Chen Xu's eyes, there are strangers everywhere, none of them are familiar to him, and even the house he lived in before is still just a pastoral.
On the contrary, he went abroad, such as Western Europe and Japan, which has not changed much for decades, which can trigger his previous memories.
I still remember the small park on the side of the road, when Chen Xu and his three comrades-in-arms were on a mission in Tokyo, several people got drunk after celebrating, and walked all the way down the road with their shoulders hooked. Then lie on the grass in this small park and go drunk.
When passing by this small park, Chen Xu even saw that the old telephone pole was still standing there, and it was still very new at this time.
At that time, I was relying on this telephone pole and quietly watching my comrades-in-arms chase and fight everywhere in the park.
These comrades-in-arms continued to sacrifice and parted in the days to come, leaving only memories of sadness.
"If my existence can change the historical trend of this era, your life will be different under this influence! I hope you don't join the army again, in your last life, you have sacrificed yourself for the country at a young age and paid enough, and you will be an ordinary person in this life, until you become an old man and lie down in bed and hang up. ”
Chen Xu squatted under the telephone pole, took out a box of cigarettes from his coat pocket, lit three and inserted them in the grass, and muttered.
