Shen Chen glanced at the group of guys with a gloomy face, and raised his foot to kick the bodyguard aside.

"Give it to me, kill this bastard." He Precious couldn't hold it on his face, and he howled and waved his hand.

Before the words fell, Shen Chen had already taken the lead, punching and kicking elbows and hitting the top of his knees, crackling and beating, and after a while, several bodyguards fell to the ground, moaning non-stop.

Seeing Shen Chen's expressionless approach, He Guigui's legs trembled in fright, "Don't, don't come here, I, I'm helping, beating me, so you can't eat and walk around." ”

"It's helping, it's amazing!" Katori Shinobu sneered: "It's a pity that this gentleman can't be messed with in Shanghai." ”

Shen Chen frowned imperceptibly, his cold eyes lingered on He Precious for a moment, and then turned to leave.

He Guigui wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Shen Chen's distant back, and felt a burst of relief. The cold stare just now made him feel terrified.

"Okay, it seems to be, it's Inspector Shen." A bodyguard got up with his face covered, and guessed.

He Guigui's eyes widened, and when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed a bit similar, but he was not sure.

"Damn*, you didn't say it earlier." He Guigui poured his anger on the bodyguard and scolded him, only then did he feel better.

Besides, Shen Chen and Katori Shinobi, when they came out of the French restaurant, Katori Shinobu used the excuse of going to Nanjing Road, and they wanted to ask Shen Chen to be their bodyguard.

Shen Chen was indispensable, and he was happy to continue to coax this spy with false feelings.

Katori also knew that men didn't like to go shopping, so he walked casually, so he and Shen Chen went to the Bund Park to sit and rest.

Today is Sunday, and there are quite a few people in the Bund Park.

Katori Shinobu wore a pink and blue cheongsam today, which looked very elegant and beautiful. In the park, which is full of tourists, it really attracts a lot of attention.

But Shen Chen seemed bored, he patrolled left and right with the corners of his eyes, still looking quite cautious and cautious.

"Let's find a quiet place to sit and rest!" Katori Shinobu took the initiative to say, "I'm a little tired!" ”

Shen Chen nodded, and they walked along the causeway, to the end, and found a bench to sit down. You can see the famous Bridge of Sighs here, and there are few tourists, so it is quiet and suitable for conversation.

"Thank you for sending that scoundrel away." Katori Shinobu casually found a conversation and thanked him again.

"Oh, you don't have to be polite." Shen Chen touched his chin and asked tentatively, "That guy won't come to school to harass you, right?" ”

"He didn't dare in the public concession, but he was more rampant in the French concession." Katori Shinobu looked sideways at Shen Chen and said, "In a while, we may have to change places again." ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "It's about the establishment of the school in Chongqing, I've heard a little about it." Fortunately, there are not many students anymore, right? ”

"There were two batches of people left last year and the beginning of this year, and now there are a total of 23 people left." Katori Xiaonin smiled and said, "I don't know how to get to Chongqing now, I heard that some people went to the rear and walked through several provinces, and it took several months to get to the place. ”

Katori Koshinobu was right when he said that after the defeat of France, the passage from Vietnam to Yunnan was cut off, and it was very difficult to get from Shanghai to the rear.

If it is to pass through the war zone, it will not be easy to reach Anhui and Zhejiang provinces, although it does not seem far, but the blockade of the Japanese-occupied area is also very strict, and the danger is very high.

And Shen Chen has already thought of a way, although not all students will be willing to go like this, and they will all be willing to go to the southwest.

Take a boat from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and then fly from Hong Kong to Chongqing or Kunming.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, Chinese airlines had opened three routes in Chongqing.

After the Nationalist Government moved to Chongqing, it further opened up new routes, and by 1940 there were six: Chongqing-Hong Kong, Chongqing-Kunming, Chongqing-Chengdu, Chongqing-Yichang, Chongqing-Leshan, and Chongqing-Kunyang.

And even after the outbreak of the Pacific War, in addition to the "Hump Route", Chongqing also had several international routes connecting with major countries in the world.

At the end of 1937, China Airlines opened a route between Chongqing and Pan American Airlines via Hong Kong. In 1939, the route from Chongqing to Hami in Xinjiang was opened, which was connected with the Hami route of the Sino-Soviet Airlines to Almaty of the Soviet Union, and realized the navigation with Moscow.

After the fall of Hong Kong, Chinese airlines were changed from Kolkata, India, to implement Sino-US joint airlines.

At that time, Chongqing had regular weekly flights to Kolkata, and from there to Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, Brazil, the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom and France.

In other words, what Shen Chen wanted to ensure was the safety of the students who crossed the war zone by land through Shanghai. The rest is just a matter of funding, for him, it's nothing.

Of course, Shen Chen would not tell Shen Lily in front of him about his plan, and his inquiries about her were either tentative or complaining, and they could only be perfunctory.

"I don't know how to get there, but someone will arrange it, right?" Shen Chen paused and said, "Even if you can't leave for the time being, you can stay in the public concession!" Otherwise, I would have gone to Hong Kong, and the Japanese would have dared to challenge Britain and the United States, but I don't think it's possible. ”

Katori Konobu nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. Shen is right, with the military strength of the concession, if the Japanese want to occupy it, it will be easy. It was only behind the concession that the British and American powers did not dare to move. ”

Shen Chen looked up into the distance, stretched out his finger, and sneered: "See the end of the bridge, a few Japanese ghosts with short files seem to be how tall they are." Watching them kill and bully their compatriots, a little bloody will want to kill them. ”

This is more difficult for Katori Koshinobu to deal with, involving the Japanese, is the topic she is most reluctant to talk about, but she can't help but say it.

"Mr. Shen wouldn't be so impulsive, would he?" Katori Shinobu looked at Shen Chen, as if he was very concerned, "You know, with you in the public concession, those villains don't dare to run rampant, and your role is not as simple as killing a few Japanese." ”

There was a trap in these words, and Shen Chen could naturally hear it. He smiled wryly and said, "I'm not as important as you say, but I really wouldn't be impulsive enough to kill a few minions." ”

You must know that what Shen Chen said just now was not entirely impulsive, but mostly from the heart.

There is no such thing as true luck, and there is no real misfortune. The distance between luck and misfortune is very delicate.

So if something unfortunate happens to you, don't complain, let alone be discouraged. It doesn't matter if you get knocked down, because as long as you're alive, you'll have time to get up.

This principle is very suitable for Shen Chen. The sense of fatalism of seeking the truth slowly became faint in his heart, but he involuntarily slowly integrated into the current environment.

With the passage of time, the original bright and ruthless killing machine has become more deep and introverted.

But this is even more terrifying, Shen Chen's physique is far stronger than before, and it will make him run like a good machine quickly when he needs it.

Maybe it's only the highest level of an agent now, and it's basically no different from a normal person who is busy with life.

It is only at the moment of the attack that people will know that this is a sharp blade that has been hidden for a long time, a beast that has been lurking for a long time.

"What does Mr. Shen think about the fact that the Japanese want to compete with you?" Katori continued to probe Shen Chen's thoughts.

Shen Chen didn't answer for the time being, but looked up at the sparse clouds in the sky, as if the clouds were changing their posture.

"Mr. Shen, why don't you speak?" Katori Shinobu was very sensitive to Shen Chen's strangeness, and her heart was even more interested, she leaned towards Shen Chen's side, "Is it inconvenient to say to me?" ”

After a while, Shen Chen pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "To be honest, I don't think it's the opponent of the Japanese." My forte is with guns, not knives and grappling. However, I can't show weakness. ”

Something unclear flashed in Katori Shinobi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Then propose to use a gun, the Japanese are afraid that it is time to back down." ”

"Hehe, you're thinking too simply." Shen Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Since it's called a martial arts, you can't use a gun, and it's not a duel, although it's similar to a duel." ”

"Then, then don't fight him." Katori Xiaoninja was very anxious, grabbed Shen Chen's hand, and said, "There is no chance of winning, and I still fight, but the wise man will not do it." ”

Shen Chen shook his little hand with a smile and said, "The eldest husband has something to do and something not to do." I'd rather be beaten to death than scared to death. Well, don't talk about it. If you want to compete, you have to pass the law, it's not that easy. ”

Katori Shinobu let Shen Chen hold his hand, feeling that his efforts had finally paid off. Man, huh, and cats that don't eat fishy?

Shen Chen sensed that Katori Shinobu was leaning closer, so he acquiesced to this more intimate gesture.

The two sat holding hands, neither of them spoke. It's just that soon someone will come to disturb them.

A pair of Japanese men and women walked over slowly, the man carrying a camera, and the woman in a kimono followed behind with small steps, looking deferential.

"Japanese-" Shen Chen took the opportunity to adjust his posture, squinting his eyes, revealing a look of displeasure.

Katori Shinobu said softly, "They'll be over soon, leave them alone." ”

Shen Chen snorted and said, "Japanese women are really unreasonable, they look like slaves. The Japanese are really brazen, relying on women to sell * spring to strengthen the country, and they still look proud. ”

Katori was stunned, not understanding what Shen Chen meant by this.

From the long history of prostitution in Japan, we can find that the prosperity and decline are closely related to the economy and politics of Japanese society, and also have a certain relationship with the status of Japanese women in history.

Japanese men sacrifice themselves for their masters, while Japanese women dedicate their bodies to men.

Gradually, it became very normal for men to sacrifice for the country and women to sacrifice themselves for the soldiers.

This also laid the foundation for Japanese prostitutes to sell overseas for the sake of the country's economy and to become military prostitutes in order to boost the morale of soldiers.

Japanese women feel that if they can sell themselves for their families, why not sell themselves for their country?

As a result, he willingly became a tool for the Japanese government to revitalize the country's economy. Batch after batch of Japanese women, known as the "Yellow Women's Army", left their hometowns and relatives and came overseas.

These Japanese prostitutes are also known as "Nanyang Sisters".

Around 1830, the slave trade was almost extinct, replaced by the rise of Chinese and Indian laborers.

Chinese and Indian laborers generally travel alone, and where they settle, there is a high concentration of young and middle-aged men, and the ratio of men to women is severely imbalanced. The hard and boring part-time life needs to find an "outlet" to solve the life's rational desires.

As a result, a large number of Chinese and Indian laborers emigrated to form an urban society, which provided a broad market for the existence and development of prostitutes.

Because of this, the expansion of the "Nanyang sister" into the world basically overlapped with the areas where Chinese and Indian laborers were active.

On the other hand, in the eyes of the European colonizers as administrators, the existence of Japanese prostitutes was a kind of "soft" lubricant that could adjust the boring and monotonous life of the laborers and allow them to work with peace of mind.

For this reason, for a considerable period of time, they have adopted an attitude of tacit approval, even welcome, and support for the entry of Japanese prostitutes. At that time, the Japanese media also "organically" placed China, the "world labor country," and Japan, the "world prostitution country," together to explain the "causal" relationship between China and Japan.

That is, during the Meiji period and the Taisho period, it was the time when the accumulated funds for the development of capitalism in Japan were most scarce. At that time, the money from the sale of Japanese prostitutes had an immeasurable effect and influence on Japan's policy of enriching the country and strengthening the army.

That's right, it's a Japanese tradition to start with women.

Sister Nanyang's footprints are all over Nanyang, Malaysia, Singapore, and of course, the Philippines, which has been very fierce recently. In addition to the South Seas, they also reached Siberia in the north, Hawaii in the west, and the Cape of Good Hope in the east. During the Meiji period alone, more than 100,000 women were exported!

It wasn't until after the end of World War I that Japan relented a little and no longer encouraged openly and secretly, and the number of Nanyang sisters slowly decreased.

Why is the Japanese government relenting? But it's not your own reason, it's external pressure.

After World War I, Japan jumped into the ranks of the great powers, and it should always look like a great power, and it had to be more or less cheeky.

Actually, at first, they didn't care, but the other powers really couldn't see it. You rich man who prostituted his own women, and we are on a par with us, and our faces are also disgraced by you.

As a result, under the accusation of the foreign powers, the Japanese government began to implement the policy of restriction and banning, and the "Nanyang sister" was no longer in full swing.

After a large number of Nanyang sisters returned to Japan, they were ostracized by the people of the whole country and even their own relatives, and they had to live alone in remote places.

There was an award-winning movie "Looking Home", which reflected this tragic history.

Although there are few conspicuous records of this group of "Nanyang sisters" who use the world as the stage, people can only learn about their existence on the tombstones of Japanese cemeteries scattered around the world.

But what they show the world is an alternative history of modern Japan's development and an alternative history of Japan's overseas colonization.

It is said that a Japanese woman who studied Nanyang Sister once went to Nanyang to look for the tombstone of "Nanyang Sister".

When she saw that all the tombstones were facing one place, she said happily that it must be facing Japan. As a result, the people who accompanied him took out their compasses and were shocked to find that, on the contrary, they were all turning their backs to Japan.
