Chapter 110: Passport, Isolated Island Macau

Buying a passport is just in case, and there are also considerations for the convenience of travel. Portugal should be the easiest, and you can buy it from Macau.

Shen Chen took it and looked at it, nodded with a smile, "Thank you very much, Mr. Spielberg." ”

"Shen, I think you need one too." Everett groaned for a moment and said, "You know, I'm not discriminating against your nationality. Sometimes, however, it is possible to be flexible for security reasons. ”

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "This can be considered, if you want to do it, I still ask Mr. Spielberg to help." ”

"There is no problem, and there is absolutely no problem if it is handed over to the company." Spielberg had a boyish smile on his face and happily beckoned the waiter to serve the wine.

Vodka?! Shen Chen was a little surprised, but he, Everett, and Jennifer still only drank wine.

After drinking, Spielberg became more talkative and his expression became richer, and his slightly gray face was radiant with excitement and pride.

"My old friend, yesterday we made five thousand dollars." Spielberg described his success to Everett in a smug tone, "Five thousand dollars in one day!" ”

Everett smiled and nodded, and said, "I saw that Isason would be taken over by Chatun, and as soon as the news spread, the stock went straight up." ”

Shen Chen pretended to be envious and listened. He was no stranger to business and speculation, but he was still a little confused about the way around in this era, and he might learn something from being with Jews, who were known for their business.

Jennifer was obviously not very enthusiastic about Spielberg, perhaps because she had only been in Shanghai for a short time and was not familiar with Spielberg.

Touching Shen Chen's arm, and when Shen Chen turned her head, she asked, "How is Dani on the radio station?" Well, I mean, do you think she's usually happy? ”

"I think it's okay!" Shen Chen said: "That Alcote seems to value her very much and gave her a lot of opportunities to broadcast. ”

Jennifer said: "That's fine, I'm worried that she won't fit in Shanghai!" You may not know that she came to Shanghai for a man, a Chinese man. ”

"I really don't know." Shen Chen laughed and said, "It's really romantic to cross the ocean!" ”

"I hope there will be a romantic and happy ending." Jennifer paused, squeezed her eyes at Shen Chen again, and said with a smile: "Don't ask her, I am the only one who knows about this." ”

"Rest assured, my mouth is as tight as a stone." Shen Chen didn't bother to pay attention to this matter, and agreed very happily.

Spielberg began to talk about the Zionist movement, "You see, we Jews have to have a national homeland, and that's why we work to earn money. We want to build our national homeland where there is no Cossack threat. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Shen Chen and asked, "Have you read the magazine we run in Shanghai?" It is the Messenger of Israel. I'm sure you'll love reading it, there are a lot of interesting articles on it, not just Jews, it's suitable for all people, it's the mouthpiece of the Zionist movement in Shanghai. ”

"In English?" Shen Chen asked casually.

"Of course."

"Where then will you establish your people's homeland? Do you buy land with money, I don't think it's realistic. Money is not everything, and it is by no means a guarantee. From my point of view, I don't quite agree with yours, or yours. Jennifer pursed her lips and said cheerfully.

Spielberg's mood changed suddenly, his brows furrowed, he shook his head sadly, and reproached himself in a sad tone: "Yes, we are Jews, miserable Jews, no friends or joy, no hope for joy......

Shen Chen looked at him silently, feeling very confused in his heart, but also a little sympathetic.

But Spielberg's sadness disappeared, as suddenly as he came, and he drank another glass of wine, I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol, and his voice was cheerful again, "By the way, if you have time, you can meet my fiancΓ©e." ”

"Your fiancΓ©e?"

"That's right." Spielberg's dark-colored eyes flashed proudly on his gray-skinned face.

"But I know you're not even engaged!" Everett was puzzled.

"How could you possibly know that we were only engaged yesterday." Spielberg made a big gesture, "Oh, when we get married, you guys have to come." You're not Jews, but you're coming to the feast, okay? ”

Everett shrugged his shoulders and agreed.

Seeing Spielberg's turned gaze, Shen Chen nodded with a smile and said, "As long as you send me an invitation, I think I will go." ”

"I'll send you an invitation." Spielberg said loudly, in a high pitch and passionately, "Mind you, it's not a wedding. You are not a Jew, but you have come to the feast. ”

The next thing is to drink and eat, and Everett also told Shen Chen that his application was approved, and he could apply for the weapons and equipment he needed.

After being full of wine and food, Shen Chen paid the bill, and everyone left the hotel and waved goodbye.

When parting, Spielberg's enthusiasm flared up again, holding Shen Chen's cold hand but not refusing, blinking his eyes and saying, "Have time to have tea together, you are a good person, we should have a lot of interesting topics to talk about." ”

"Okay, okay." Shen Chen was perfunctory and sent Everett and the others away.

Shen Chen got in the car and did not go back to his current home, but went to the Shikumen residence.

For such a long time, he only came back occasionally to take a look, chatted with Lu Shuang and Weiwei and left, and never stayed overnight.

When I returned to the old house, it happened that Lu Shuang and Wei Wei were not there. asked Damei, only to know that Weiwei had a little cold, and Lu Shuang led her to the hospital.

Since it was a small cold, Shen Chen was not very anxious. Besides, Da Mei didn't know which hospital Lu Shuang and the others went to. He had no choice but to sit in the guest room, drink tea, and chat casually with Zhou Qiao.

"Mr. Shen has become famous again recently, and the thugs who smashed the "Damei Evening News" and the villains who hijacked the bus have all been planted." Zhou Qiao gave a thumbs up with appreciation, "There are not many people like Mr. Shen who are as fearless as Mr. Shen and dare to fight against the evil forces." ”

"How can there be so many?" Shen Chen smiled: "If it weren't for those people with a conscience, where would I go to get information?" Thanks to them, I was well informed. Even though they didn't leave their names, I was grateful. ”

Shen Chen has always been suspicious of Zhou Qiao's identity, and can only be sure that he is on the side of the anti-Japanese camp, and the information of the Zodiac Society is also secretly given by him.

So, this is what I mean. As long as you can give me information about the Japanese spies, I can better fight them.

Zhou Qiao may or may not understand, but just nodded and said: "That's right, Chinese with a conscience are still the majority." Otherwise, China will really die. But Mr. Shen still has to be more careful, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent! ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't be like this a long time ago." Mr. Zhou, a literati, probably won't understand my thoughts. ”

"What's wrong with the literati?" Zhou Qiao smiled: "This is a bit discriminatory." Zhou did not dare to compare with those iron-bone literati, but he was also a real Chinese. ”

The patriotic newspaper man on the isolated island is indeed iron-clad. In the bloody terror, he did not give in, used the pen as a weapon, launched a desperate struggle against the enemy and hypocrisy, and watered an oasis of hope with life and blood.

"Who said that scholars are weak and boneless, and their writing is as sharp as a knife." Shen Chen raised the teacup and gestured to Zhou Qiao, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I take back what I just said." ”

Zhou Qiao laughed, also raised the teacup, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." If compared with the brave and fearless Mr. Shen, Zhou really has no qualifications to be proud. ”

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Chen said seemingly casually: "The situation in Huxi is not good, I may be transferred there." The root of Huxi's evil lies in No. 76, if you can get more detailed information or information, such as photos and information of personnel, and dare to enter the concession, I will let them know. ”

Zhou Qiao nodded, and reminded with concern: "I know from the newspaper what kind of organization No. 76 is, a freak composed of a group of spies, villains, and thugs. With the help of the Japanese, they did all kinds of evil. If Mr. Shen is transferred there, he will have to be careful a hundred times. ”

No matter what Zhou Qiao said, Shen Chen thought that he had conveyed enough information. As for the outcome, he didn't really care.

In fact, not only Zhou Qiao, but also Ma Mingyu, Cao Bingsheng, and Xu Huaiyi's gang, all had Shen Chen's explanation, collecting information on No. 76 and the Japanese for him.

One more intelligence and information channel will give us an extra chance in the face of confrontation, and even one more chance to save one's life.

While the two were talking, Lu Shuang led Weiwei back. Shen Chen looked at Weiwei's state, there was no big problem, she was still quite energetic.

"Uncle Shen." When Wei Wei saw Shen Chen, she ran over with a smile, looking very affectionate.

"Hehe, it looks like some meat has grown!" Shen Chen affectionately touched Weiwei's little head, and pointed to the box on the table with a smile, "Look, I brought you something delicious!" ”

"I ate out with Aunt Lu." Wei Wei just glanced at it, but didn't step forward, she was still tired of Shen Chen's side, and asked, "I saw you in the newspaper, very energetic!" ”

"That's, isn't it cool?" Shen Chen made a gun gesture of "eight" in his hand, stopped in front of his chest, and posed in that heroic posture again.

Lu Shuang just smiled and watched, but didn't say much.

She is very concerned about Shen Chen's affairs, and whenever she hears about him, Lu Shuang has to find a newspaper to read carefully and carefully, and make newspaper clippings.

From these reports, she increasingly believed that Shen Chen was a big hero and a fearless man.

Of course, Lu Shuang also took care of Shen Chen. also gradually understood what Shen Chen said about the implication, those traitor spies, but unscrupulous means. If he knew about her relationship with Shen Chen, he would probably attack her and Weiwei.

But what is the relationship between himself and Shen Chen? As soon as Lu Shuang thought of this question, he was both longing and suspicion, sometimes stunned, sometimes blushing and heartbeating.

Zhou Qiao excused himself and left, Shen Chen put his arm around Weiwei's little shoulders, stretched out his hand to beckon Lu Shuang to come over, and sat beside him.

"Don't make a phone call when you come back, wait for a long time, right?" Lu Shuang sat down, a little cramped, and said very ordinary words.

"What's the point of waiting?" Shen Chen smiled and said, "I'll live here tonight, and I have time." ”

Lu Shuang raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chen, happy in his heart. After a pause, he got up and said, "Then Da Mei and I will go buy some vegetables and make a few more dishes in the evening." ”

"No, no." Shen Chen stretched out his hand and pressed Lu Shuang, and said, "When you go out to eat at night, which restaurant do you want to go to, I'll call to book a table." ”

"Is that okay?" Lu Shuang was a little surprised, and he didn't know why Shen Chen wasn't worried about being seen.

"Separate ways." Shen Chen smiled a little helplessly and said, "Book a hotel, let's go separately and meet at the hotel." ”

Lu Shuang pursed the corners of his mouth, feeling that this was not bad, and it was a great improvement compared to before.

"Let's go upstairs, I have something to talk to you about." Shen Chen got up and pulled Lu Shuang.

Although Weiwei was not in a hurry to open the box with snacks, she couldn't forget it now, and jumped to hold it in her arms.

The three of them went up to the second floor, and Shen Chen pointed to the large suite where Lu Shuang and Wei Wei lived, and said, "Go to your house to talk, just put things away." ”

Lu Shuang didn't ask what it was, opened the door, and invited Shen Chen in.

"Weiwei, you play by yourself for a while, eat some snacks, and I'll talk to Aunt Lu about something." Shen Chen was about to leave the child outside first, and he and Lu Shuang went into the inner room to talk.

Vivi pursed her lips, looking unhappy, but sat down obediently.

After entering the back room and closing the door, Shen Chen took out his passport and house certificate from his bag and handed them to Lu Shuang.

"This-" Lu Shuang took it and looked at it, looking at Shen Chen very puzzled.

"You and Vivi's passports." Shen Chen sat down and said slowly: "There is also a house in Macau, although it is not big, it is still very relaxed to live in a few people. ”

Lu Shuang blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Are you asking me and Weiwei to go to Macau?" ”

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, most of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia were invaded by Japan, including Hong Kong, a British colony at the time. However, Japan deliberately bypassed Macao, a small place, so that Macao maintained a rare calm in the troubled times.

At that time, Macao was still a colony of Portugal, and it was said that Japan dared to attack the British, so why was it afraid of Portugal?

The ostensible reason was that Japan had not declared war with Portugal and that there was no state of war, indicating that Japan "scrupulously complied with" public international law.

It's all nonsense, of course. As a matter of fact, if the Japanese wanted to occupy Macao, it could be said that it would be effortless, and they would solve the problem without firing a single shot. So there are strategic reasons for not doing so.

First of all, Macao was too small, less than 20 square kilometers at that time, and even a 1,000-ton ship could not dock.

Since the Opium War, Hong Kong's maritime superiority has been taken over, and Macao's trade economy has long plummeted. Macao, which is a small projectile land, has neither a deep-water port nor an aviation airport, and has no strategic significance, so what is the use of the Japanese coming?
