Chapter 171: Arrival in Tokyo
The calm sea shone golden in the light of the setting sun, the waves gently caressed the beach, the wind blew through the screens of the RV, and the curtains kept swinging, Guo Yu yawned and stretched a big waist, and woke up from a nap. It was really a good sleep, Guo Yu felt like he was full of electricity, and he had nothing to say if he was in good spirits.
He lifted the curtains of the RV and looked outside, the sun was already setting outside, and it seemed that he was about to leave again. Guo Yu hurriedly put on his clothes and got busy.
After putting the RV into the space and releasing the Sea King amphibious plane from the space, he calculated the direction, and then started the plane to rush into the sky again, heading towards Japan.
The sun set much later in the September sky, and after an hour of flight, there was still a misty light in the sky, and the distant peaks and houses below could still be faintly visible, Guo Yu knew that the plane should have flown over the interior of Japan.
After flying for nearly an hour, the sky had darkened, and he could only vaguely see the outline of the distant mountain, Guo Yu saw a high mountain in front of him, wearing a white hat, and Guo Yu was excited when he saw this, because Mount Fuji had arrived.
Guo Yu had to fly a plane to Tokyo on this trip, and what he was most afraid of was getting lost on the road, and now he was relieved to see Mount Fuji, because according to Guo Yu's route, Tokyo is behind Mount Fuji, the distance is only 90 kilometers, and he can reach Tokyo after half an hour of flying over Mount Fuji.
Victory was in sight, Guo Yu jerked the control stick of the plane, lifted the speed of the plane and flew towards Tokyo. This kind of Neptune aircraft is a light aircraft, and the flight distance is short and slow, but because Guo Yu piloted the plane for the first time, he chose this most simple and easy-to-learn aircraft, and it is also a seaplane that can be parked at sea, so the chance of an accident falling into the sea is much smaller. But now this kind of speed makes Guo Yu a little unbearable, the speed of 200 kilometers per hour is not comparable to the speed of a car, this kind of aircraft can only be used as a primary pilot, and when he is familiar with the operation of the plane, he will take out his other plane, and it will take more than 10 hours to fly Japan once. Another small aircraft in the space SkyrocketII can reach a cruising speed of 526 kilometers per hour, Shanghai to Tokyo only takes 4 hours, and there is no need to stop in the middle to refuel, see that you have to learn the driving of various aircraft in the future, so that your own travel is more convenient, you don't have to do yachts in the future from the South Seas and the mainland, you can save a week of sea navigation time in the middle, so you can greatly strengthen your contact on both sides, The province has been on one side for a long time, and there are things that are difficult to manage in the other place.
Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, Guo Yu looked at the lights that had appeared in front of him on the plane, and today's Tokyo naturally cannot be compared to the Tokyo that illuminates the night sky like a city that never sleeps, and can only see the dappled light, this is because it is only the first half of the night, if it is the second half of the night, even Tokyo, the capital of Japan, will fall silent.
At this time, the plane was about two kilometers away from the ground, Guo Yu didn't dare to get too close to the center of Tokyo, he chose a slightly empty place, took out a parachute on the plane and put it on his back, looked at the position again through the glass cover, and then suddenly an idea put the flying Sea King plane into the space, Guo Yu himself was exposed to the air, and his body began to slide rapidly forward without the support of the plane.
The wind brought by the high-speed fall blew Guo Yu's hair scattered, fortunately he put on goggles in advance, so that he couldn't open his eyes now, he was not a professional skydiver and soldier, and he didn't have a professional instrument to measure the distance, so he didn't dare to play any extreme sports, and after sliding a few breaths to adjust his posture, he opened the parachute bag, and a small white mushroom rose in the sky, fortunately, it was dark now, and the sky in Tokyo was not very bright, So no one noticed that there was a person in the sky who was slowly falling down.
According to the requirements of skydiving landing, when landing, you should bend your knees and then roll forward, and your feet, knees, elbows, and backs will land in turn. However, Guo Yu has no scruples in this regard, with his current inhuman system, even if he falls directly from a height of 500 meters to the ground, it may not be fine, not to mention the buffer of the parachute, so Guo Yu only squatted slightly and stood still at the moment of touching the ground.
He unfastened a few locks of the parachute, received the parachute coat and backpack scattered on the ground indiscriminately, and then directly approached the space, he couldn't fold the parachute, he could only use the parachute as a one-time consumable, anyway, there was still a lot of stock in the space.
Guo Yu looked at the surrounding environment, it was now night, it was pitch black all around, only the lights in Tokyo in the distance were still visible, this should be an open place, Guo Yu began to run in the direction of the light, with his speed and physical fitness, the speed of running on the uneven grass was also more than the speed of ordinary people 100 meters, and it didn't take long for Guo Yu to find a big road, although it was still a dirt road, but it also pointed out the direction to Guo Yu.
However, looking at the wooden low houses that are gradually increasing, it is night but there are few lights in these houses, even if there is light, the oil lamp emits an extremely weak light, Guo Yu suddenly has a feeling of returning to the Republic of China, and the current life of the people at the bottom of Japan is not very good.
In fact, Guo Yu is not wrong, although Japan is carrying out its own industry, and has received a large amount of compensation and materials from the outside, especially the Republic of China, but these are controlled by the Japanese government and those chaebols, and the looting of ordinary people in Japan has not stopped, tenant farmers pay heavy land rents, yeoman farmers are often in debt, and the children of farmers are often forced to pour into the cities to become workers.
And chaebols such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Yasuda have monopolized Japan's economic lifeline and have become the four major chaebols that manipulate the country's economic lifeline. At the beginning of the 20th century, while Japan was completing its industry, the main industrial sectors were controlled by monopoly organizations such as Mitsui. These big chaebols concentrated 57.4% of the country's capital, 58.7% of spindles, 69% of copper ore production, and 54% of coal. They also have a monopoly in the financial and other industrial sectors. The feudal aristocracy, landlord bureaucracy, and chaebol combined to control Japan's politics and economy.
At this time, the lives of the people at the bottom of Japan were even more difficult than those of the ordinary people of the Republic of China, and the situation of the Japanese peasants was particularly miserable. They were not only exploited by the landlords, but also enslaved by military service and oppressed by the capitalists. Sometimes we see Japanese people holding a rice ball in the movie, even if it is the best lunch, the best food, in fact, it is just a rice ball, and those farmers who grow rice may not be able to eat a full meal in a year, so there is a reason why Japanese people are shorter.
In Guo Yu's view, the construction of Tokyo is not as heavy as the capital of the Republic of China, and it is not as good as the prosperity of Shanghai, although Guo Yu has not been to Guangzhou of the Republic of China, but according to intelligence information, the development of Guangzhou at this time is also very good, of course, the investment of foreigners also accounts for a large part of the reason.
Walking briskly for a while, the houses on both sides of the street gradually increased, and there were already occasional restaurants, Guo Yu looked at his clothes, the sportswear he wore for the convenience of flying the plane was no longer suitable for wearing now, Guo Yu found a dark place, changed into a suit and leather shoes for himself, and combed his hairstyle that was blown out by parachuting, and suddenly turned into a successful person.
A few minutes later, Guo Yu raised his hand to stop a rickshaw, the rickshaw driver was wearing a hat surrounded by white cloth, a short-sleeved wide cardigan, a pair of shorts surrounded by steps, and an oil lamp hung on the handlebar. When he spoke, he bowed and bowed, very humble.
"Go to the Kamiya Grand Hotel in Chiyoda Noma Street." Guo Yu replied in very pure Tokyo-accent Japanese.
"Yes sir, but this is far from Mustang Street, and it may take a while to walk, so please don't worry." The driver explained.
Guo Yu touched his body and wanted to take the money, only to remember that he had just changed his clothes, this one was a new dress, and there was not a penny in his pocket, Guo Yu quietly took out a few silver dollars from the space and put them in his pocket, took out one of them and threw it to the coachman.
Under the light on the side of the street, the coachman saw a silver light flying towards him, and quickly caught it with both hands, seeing the silver coin in his hand, the coachman was excited, and he couldn't earn this silver coin by pulling the rickshaw for a few days, the coachman cautiously put the silver coin into his underwear pocket, and then bowed to Guo Yu again, respectfully asked Guo Yu to get into the car, and ran happily to Mustang Street.
At this time, Tokyo did not have the scale of later generations, so Guo Yu dared to do a rickshaw to go, later Tokyo is the world's largest metropolis in terms of area, with a total area of 2155 square kilometers.
Chiyoda, on the other hand, is the central area of Tokyo and the location of the Imperial Palace of Japan, and is the center of Japan, with a dense concentration of central authorities. The Diet, the Prime Minister's Office, the Supreme Court, and most of the central administrative organs are located here. It is also home to Japan's commercial centers, with many chaebol headquarters and banks located here, making Chiyoda one of Japan's leading political and economic centers, and of course the infamous Yasukuni Shrine.
Guo Yu sat on the rickshaw, looking at the slowly becoming bustling streets, the high-rise buildings on both sides showed that this was already a fairly developed area, and the purpose of Guo Yu's trip was here. R1152
