Chapter 1060: Set up a feast

That night, Mr. Liao set up a few tables of banquets at the Palace Hotel for Chief Chen and them to practice, the banquet was attended by local Chinese business representatives and those media friends, at the beginning of the banquet, Mr. Liao asked the media friends to keep the practice of the matter secret, Chief Chen came all the way to Nanyang this time, in fact, it is for the great cause of our motherland's War of Resistance against Japan, I hope that media friends can focus on the overall situation of the nation and do more things that are conducive to the War of Resistance.

Most of the media friends here are also Chinese, and they naturally agree with Mr. Liao's proposal, and they are willing to use the propaganda power of the media to do more things for the motherland's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, publicize the Japanese invasion of China to the local people, and support the motherland's arduous and bloody war of resistance with practical actions.

After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Liao toasted one by one as the host, and when he saluted Han Fei, Mr. Liao patted Han Fei on the shoulder and said: "The future is terrible, you have spoken out for us, the Chinese and overseas Chinese here are grateful to you, I hope to come to Penang again when I go back, the donation raising situation is better than we imagined, and this practice banquet is also a donation banquet." ”

"Okay, I'll be sure to come and have a look when I go back." Han Fei nodded hurriedly.

Han Fei knew that he couldn't drink too much, and there was still a lot of distance to go to Singapore, and he didn't know what would happen to him on the way, if he got drunk and broke off, then who would protect Chief Chen.

Liu Ruye's amount of wine is really good, not only bear Han Fei's amount of wine, but also take the wine jug to toast with the other guests at the banquet, those overseas Chinese saw that the heroes against the British army came to toast, and suddenly felt supremely glorious, and they got up and drank it all, the more this is the case, the more Liu Ruye drank happily, and continued to drink several glasses of white wine in a row, still his face was not red and his heart was not beating, his pace was steady, and his speech was clear, and Han Fei wondered: When did this kid have such a good amount of wine?

Han Fei saw that it was not good to go on like this, and he had to get on the boat to hurry, it was not good to be drunk, so he persuaded Liu Ruye to drink less, and he could do his best, and he would have to get on the boat and hurry later, he never thought that Liu Ruye would drink too much wine, and his courage also grew, and he said indifferently: "It's okay, even if you drink two more bottles, it's okay." ”

It was still Chief Chen who got up and said, "Xiaoliu, it's time for us to go!" Thanks to the warm hospitality of the fellows, Chen will say goodbye, and often come to Singapore in the future, let's meet again! ”

Seeing that Chief Chen had spoken, Mr. Liao and the others quickly got up and sent Chief Chen out, Liu Ruye stopped shouting for a few more drinks, and followed Han Fei to say goodbye to those overseas Chinese, although his mouth was full of wine, Han Fei found that Liu Ruye was still walking steadily, without the slightest intention of getting drunk, and he was also very impressed in his heart.

Boarding the merchant ship, a sailor on the deck was already on standby, and a Chinese who looked like a captain in the lead said to Han Fei: "This sir, I am the new captain of this ship, my surname is Cai, just call me Xiao Cai, I have been in Malaya for 30 years, and I have been a boatman for 30 years, these sailors are my brothers, and if the commander has anything, just give orders." ”

Good guy, a captain with thirty years of sailing experience was so respectful in front of him, Han Fei felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Captain Cai, I don't know anything about sailing experience, and I have to rely on you and my brothers to go to Singapore this time." ”

"The chief is polite, Mr. Liao has already explained to us, and we must ensure that you are sent to Singapore safely, this is our job, there is nothing to rely on and not rely on, but the sir's words, we are very useful to hear." Captain Cai is a cheerful person, unlike the previous captain, who is always yin and yang, beating around the bush, I don't know how the underground party comrades found him?

After settling Chief Chen and them, Han Fei asked Captain Cai, with Captain Cai's shouting, the sailor brothers untied the cable tied to the dock, the ship's engine began to roar, and the ship slowly sailed away from the dock towards the open sea, and Mr. Liao, who came to see him off on the dock, was still waving there.

There are still hundreds of nautical miles from Penang, Malaya, to Singapore, and with the current speed of merchant ships, it will take two days and two nights to get there, and this sea area has always been rampant with pirates, which is very unsafe, but Mr. Liao told Han Fei that as long as the merchant ships fly their small flags, they can ensure the safety of their trip to Singapore.

Han Fei didn't understand the mystery of this, and secretly thought to himself: In this way, does this Mr. Liao still have a connection with pirates?

However, Chief Chen told the secret: pirates are rampant here, in view of the lack of effective crackdown by the colonial authorities, those pirates want to get a lot of money, and the local Chinese businessmen have a lot of business, always robbed, people do not dare to run, in this way, the pirate's business is slowly decreasing, but it is not conducive to the survival of the pirates, the Chinese businessmen see that the sea route is not safe, then take the land route, although the distance is farther, carry less things, but after all, it is better than being robbed by pirates at sea, Later, when the pirates saw that this could not go on and that they were about to starve to death, they sent men ashore to find the local Chinese merchants, claiming that they would guarantee that they would not rob the Chinese merchant ships departing from Penang as long as they paid them a certain amount of protection money.

Mr. Liao, they totaled, feel that this condition is still reliable, rather than give the colonial authorities protection money to the pirates, at least they can ensure the safety of the sea route, and the colonial authorities only know to collect money but do not do anything, business must be done, otherwise so many Chinese can only drink the northwest wind to go, so Mr. Liao They tried to give the pirates a protection fee, the pirates really kept their promises, and did not intercept the merchant ships from Penang to and from the South Seas, so that the two sides reached a tacit understanding, as long as the time came, The Chinese merchants took out the protection money, and the pirates sent a few flag-like things and hung them on the ship, so that they could sail safely on the South Seas, but they were all right.

"Damn, it turns out that the foreign devils here are not even as good as pirates!" Han Fei scolded, and after scolding, he felt that he was not very good in front of Chief Chen, and he blushed a little.

"Foreign devils are almost the same as Japanese invaders, and our China is now reduced to the current point, wasn't it thanks to them back then? How was Hong Kong cut out? How the two Opium Wars were fought, how the Old Summer Palace was set on fire by them, and the Eight-Nation Alliance, etc., the sins of foreign devils are too numerous to mention! Xiao Han, after you go back, you must work hard to defeat the little Japanese devils as soon as possible and drive them out, so that we in China can have hope of standing up and building a new China! Chief Chen sighed as he looked in the direction of the motherland.
