Volume IV Boom 1: Welcome to Hawaii!

How big is the Pacific Ocean?

I haven't seen land since I left Tokyo, and for more than two weeks, the Wilhelm has been driving at high speed, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sea is blue and the water is blue, but seeing the same scene every day makes people upset.

In the depths of the vast ocean, man is lonely and fearful, which is the instinctive fear of being away from land for too long. Thinking about the European navigators who led a group of sailors to wander on the vast ocean for many years hundreds of years ago, Situ Nan couldn't help but admire. It is not without reason that modern Westerners are superior to other racial civilizations.

Ah, the ocean! Beautiful and magnificent words! How many human beings and how many past stories are buried in that deep blue!

That's what it fell from in the first place, right?

Situ Nan leaned on the railing, looking at the blue water, lighting a cigar in his hand, and the rich aroma of tobacco dispersed with the wind.

"Whew! It's been so long, and now that I think about it, God is still not bad for me. He threw the cigar into the sea, turned and went back to the cabin, dealing with the telegram from China.

According to the plan, the William will arrive in Hawaii in the evening, and then San Francisco. Before that, Situ Nan spent his free time on the deck's special basketball court.

God appreciates the face, and there is no wind on the sea.

With a "bang", the basketball crossed a beautiful parabola in the air and fell steadily into the basket. With a smug smile, a sturdy figure leaned back sharply in the air, landed on one foot, and stepped back two steps to stand firmly on the deck.

There was a sparse applause next to him at the right time, and little Andy clenched his fists and screamed excitedly, but it was a pity that he was tightly held in Laura's arms.

During the long journey, in addition to having time to talk to Lu Bicheng about the rather gimmick of "The Rise of a Great Power", Situ Nan likes to play basketball on the deck with a group of bodyguards, which has become a unique scenery of his sea journey.

"How? Xiao Sun, although you are 5 cm taller than me, my move to lean back is Master Jordan's unsolvable stunt! Situ Nan smiled and looked at the unconvinced young man in front of him.

The tall figure, about 1.85 meters, stands out from the crowd in this era when the average height of the yellow race is 1.6 meters. The skin is a little dark, and the sunny and slightly green smile is very tempting for those little girls who love to dream!

"One more!" The young man on the opposite side picked up the basketball and threw it to Situ Nan, but he didn't expect that his dignified national player would actually lose to a half-foreigner in a bullfight! How can I say that I am also the best basketball player in Tsinghua! This face cannot be lost!

The bodyguards standing next to him looked at the new sparring youth playfully, and it was not the first time since they got on the boat. They were a little envious of this lucky young man.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Situ Nan dribbled quickly, deliberately showing off, and made several crotch changes in a row, as if the ball was stuck in his hand, and he looked indescribably chic.

The young man who was defending him stared at Situ Nan's shoulder, and he used his strength to eat milk, which was able to block in front of Situ Nan.

Situ Nan smiled slightly, took a step with his left foot, made a gesture to break to the left, and when the opponent stepped forward to block, he suddenly copied the basketball, his body suddenly turned to the right, threw off the opponent, and came to a beautiful back to change hands to the basket.

"Huh!" Basketball hollow into the net.

Situ Nan turned his head and glanced proudly at Sun Liren, the Tsinghua basketball player who was abducted by him. "Boy, you're still tender!" Walk away.

"What a steady dribble speed! What a quick change of direction! Dazzling feints! Why is it that he breaks through every time? Sun Liren looked at Situ Nan's back with some annoyance, "I will definitely defeat you next time!" He grabbed the basketball and jumped high, slammed the dunk with one hand, and the special hoop took his impact very steadily.

This is what he just learned from those bodyguards, and every time he dunks he has a cathartic pleasure.

"What are your plans for the future? Listening to me talk about so many episodes of "The Rise of Great Powers", you have to have some understanding! ”

Situ Nan took a bath, drank freshly squeezed juice, and looked at Sun Liren, who was a little restrained at this time, with a smile. It was in Situ Nan's room, and after coming down from the basketball court, Sun Liren realized that the mysterious man in front of him was the king of this dream palace on the sea.

A month ago, Sun Liren represented the Tsinghua school basketball team in Shanghai to play a game against the St. John's University basketball team, and it is said that a foundation in the United States sponsored the competition.

After the game, a young couple walked over from the audience, and their husband, wearing sunglasses, smiled and asked Sun Liren if he wanted to study in the United States.

Sun Liren has been studying in Tsinghua School for 6 years, and the foundation has been almost laid, and he has long thought about studying in the United States, but the number of places in the school is limited, and it has not been his turn for a while. Unexpectedly, a basketball game would have the opportunity for him to realize his desire to study abroad in advance.

Sun Liren was determined to go abroad to learn advanced technology and come back to serve the motherland, so he naturally nodded and agreed. It's just that the shipping schedule is a little urgent, Sun Liren turned around and asked the teacher who led the team, only to know that the couple is the William Foundation who often sponsors Tsinghua School, and the specific identity is not clear, but if you go to the United States with them, you can transfer to William University.

In this way, after Sun Liren went to Shanghai to play a ball game, he wrote a letter and went home directly on the William.

He didn't know that Situ Nan had already "recognized" him, and Situ Nan had a good impression of this one of the few ** generals in history who could win battles, and pulled him on the boat on a whim, because he could find someone to play with him, those bodyguards, Situ Nan was tired of playing with them.

After boarding the William, Sun Liren understood that he had met a nobleman! At least he hadn't heard of any other rich man who could drive a cruise ship around the world.

When Sun Liren recalled the experience on the ship, Situ Nan's voice sounded in his ears: "I think your kid is in good shape, and he has studied civil engineering well, and if he goes to a military school, he may be able to become a general in the future!" ”

"You think I can be a general?" Sun Liren looked at Situ Nan with some excitement. Xindao: This guy always emphasizes the rise of a great power, and there must be a war! Sun Liren, who was young and vigorous, was a little moved.

"What's so hard about this! Mix a graduation certificate from an American ** school, find a good unit after returning to China, stay up for three or five years, be a regiment commander and battalion commander, and see the opportunity to win two battles, won't you become a general? Studying in the United States is better than those non-commissioned officers who wash horses in Japan, right? ”

Situ Nanman didn't care about the Tao.

"Of course, you kid and I have a lot of appetite, you have a bit of capital, momentum, and brains, if you are interested, I can send you to military school."

Situ Nan let out a puff of pale blue smoke, and the air was filled with the scent of tobacco.

That's a good one, but this guy has a big mouth!

Sun Liren thought to himself, a little angry at the old-fashioned appearance of this man who was not a few years older than himself, but now he is just a poor student, so it is not good to offend him. Hearing Situ Nan say this, it seems that he has a really promising future in the army.

"Can I go to West Point?" Sun Liren asked. There are no famous military schools in the United States, Sun Liren only remembers that there is a military school called West Pastry, which sounds like making cakes. West Point is a school in the U.S. Army that specializes in training senior officers, and it is very strict and not easy to enter.

"Pastry isn't something you can just get into, at least at your current level! You'd better go to William's University for a while, learn English well, lay a good foundation, and send you to West Point in a year. ”

Situ Nan shook his head and glanced at Sun Liren angrily.

"Oh!" Sun Liren was a little disappointed, but after getting Situ Nan's promise, he thought that he could enter William University immediately, and his mood became cheerful again. It seems that there is a scholarship, so you don't have to wash the dishes yourself, right? He excitedly went back to his room to review his homework.

Looking at Sun Liren's satisfied appearance, Situ Nan thought: I seem to be a little thirsty? But it seems to be quite good to be able to accept a little brother who can play and fight.

Sun Liren seems to be mixed with Sun Ziwen, and now that Song Ziwen is mixed with himself, it seems reasonable for Sun Liren to become his little brother. Anyway, the little grandson can fight better than those Whampoa student soldiers! However, now that Guangdong has been seized by Chen Jiongming, with the Meihua Company and the Zhi Gong Party behind them, Sun Wen and the Kuomintang should not have almost returned to Guangzhou. Where do they go? Will it collapse?

Thinking of this, Situ Nan's smile was a little mysterious.

From the first time he saw her, Situ Nan fell in love with Hawaii.

Sunlight. Sand beach. Ocean wave. Dry coconut palms. It would be nice if you added a bikini.

Hawaii is really beautiful, with white sand, clear sky, clear blue water, white waves, pristine and without a trace of impurities, a soft and soft, refreshing and tranquil ????? There is indescribable beauty, just like love at first sight, in an instant you just want to look at her quietly, and her smile makes you have endless aftertastes.

"The pearl that God has sprinkled on the Pacific Ocean, my dear, she is as beautiful as you!" Situ Nan couldn't help but pick up Laura's beautiful face and gnaw it.

"Yes. Are we going to spend a few days here? How about a vacation? Laura looked at Situ Nan expectantly with a pair of beautiful eyes, how could Situ Nan say no?

"Of course!" Situ Nan nodded, "I have decided, I will go on vacation here every year in the future!" ”

Hawaii is now a quasi-state of the United States, although it is only the last step to officially become a US territory, but looking at the large and small warships in Pearl Harbor, you know that this is the lifeblood of the Yankees, and it is impossible to let go of the territory no matter what.

Hawaii Island is the largest island in Hawaii, covering more than half of the state's area. The island is volcanic, and when the William is close to Hawaii, the island spews smoke from time to time, which is spectacular.

"Oh! Oh my God! Did the volcano erupt? Laura hugged little Andy and exclaimed as she looked at the puff of gray smoke in the blue sky.

"Bang Bang!" Situ Nan took several photos in a row before turning around. There are many volcanoes in Hawaii, many of which are active volcanoes, and the volcanoes in front of you are erupted from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean 10,000 meters down. ”

The essence of Hawaii is concentrated in Oahu, the third largest island, which is home to 80% of Hawaii's population and is the economic and cultural center of Hawaii.

There are two important ports on the island, Honolulu (called Honolulu in Chinese) and Pearl Harbor, the U.S. naval base Pearl Harbor is a closed area of its own, and Honolulu (the name is good!). Let's call it that way! ) became the only civilian port for Hawaiian civilians and the only transit point on the Pacific route to the West Coast of the United States.

When the USS William entered the harbor, many American GIs on the shore were laughing with women in thin clothes in their arms, and some of them were indescribably frivolous and debauched, and I don't know if they had smuggled out of the nearby Pearl Harbor base.

"It's really unproductive! Prodigal Americans! Situ Nan scolded in his heart, no wonder he was crippled by the Japanese!

However, in such a beautiful place, people are in a relaxed mood and want to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, and it is normal to be debauched and frivolous. Thinking of this, Situ Nan immediately forgave those lovely American GIs.

As soon as Mr. Stuart got off the boat, he saw a playboy jump out of a new Chrysler and walk over with a couple of Asian men.

"Stoney? William? He shouted.

Situ Nan looked at the white young man in front of him, tall and thin, a little dark, wearing toad sunglasses, smoking a pipe, and smoking batabata. Dressed in a fancy Hawaiian shirt and stepping on slippers, it makes people feel dazzled.

"Stoney? William? It asked, looking at the William at the docks. I'm Mike? Brown, I'm here to pick you up. Welcome to Hawaii. He bared his white teeth.

"Hey! Mike! Am I Stoney? William. Looks like you're doing well in Hawaii! Is old Brown okay? Situ Nan said with a smile.

He remembered that the young man in front of him was his old friend Henda? Brown's only son recently came to Hawaii to work as the deputy manager of the Hawaii branch of the American Chinese Company. It's just a soy sauce character, because this guy was emotionally traumatized and went to picturesque Hawaii to heal.

"I've already arranged it for you. I believe that Hawaii will make you unforgettable. Let's go, beautiful Miss Laura and handsome little Mr. Andy. With a wave of his hand, the Chinese worker behind him stepped forward to carry his luggage.

That night, Situ Nan and the others stayed at a hotel in Honolulu, and Mike had already booked it in advance. There is no industry on the island, rich in pineapples, sugar cane, good taste, processed and exported to Los Angeles, San Francisco and other places in large quantities.

After a long journey onto land, little Andy jumped up and down with excitement. The hotel prepared a Hawaiian special meal, and Mike thoughtfully arranged a lot of items, so that Situ Nan had a good impression of this seemingly frivolous South China Sea.

"I heard you've been here for half a year? Not ready to go back to work at the oil company? Situ Nan asked Mike with a smile.

"Nope. Mary always liked to arrange for me to meet the young ladies, but I didn't like it very much. Unless you meet a beauty like Laura! Mike shook his head, "I think I've fallen in love with this place, it's free, it's free, it's free, it's a place where the blue water washes away a lot of trouble." ”

Situ Nan nodded. The next day, he made an appointment with Mike to surf.
