The 1940 Olympic Games were first held in Tokyo, Japan, but after the "77 Incident", Japan invested all its national strength in the war of aggression against China, especially after Japan's plan to destroy China in three months went bankrupt, Japan has fallen into the quagmire of war, and it has become impossible to hold the Olympic Games.

Moreover, at the 1938 IOC meeting, representatives of the Chinese Olympic Committee protested against Japan's invasion of China, undermining world peace and violating the Olympic spirit. It also demanded that the cities of Tokyo and Sapporo be stripped of their right to host the Summer and Winter Olympic Games.

Japan also knew that it would not be able to hold the Olympic Games, so it simply found a step for itself, saying that in 1940 Japan wanted to commemorate the 2600th year of the Jimmu Era, so it would hold large-scale military exercises in 1940, so it could not hold the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) also announced that the 1940 Olympics would be held in Helsinki, Finland.

Finland was originally the younger brother of Tsarist Russia, and it was thanks to the Russian Tsar that Finland was able to become independent from Sweden, and Finland thus became a buffer zone between Russia and Sweden. During the First World War, Finland took advantage of the collapse of Russia and gained independence from Russian control.

However, a more powerful Soviet Union appeared in the east of Finland, which did not want to be controlled by the Soviet Union again, so it has always been the vanguard of the anti-Soviet war in Europe, fighting against the Soviet Union in all aspects, and also seeking the support of Britain and Germany militarily. At that time, Finnish weapons were supplied by the British, and Finnish soldiers were trained by German instructors.

Unfortunately, Finland was too close to Leningrad in the Soviet Union, that is, St. Petersburg, which was the largest city in the Soviet Union at that time and the center of Soviet industry, and the Soviet Union did not want an anti-Soviet regime to be so close to St. Petersburg.

On the one hand, they are working against you, and on the other hand, they are so close to your largest city, but they are a fighting people, so war is inevitable.

When the Soviet Union and Germany signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact", they also divided their respective spheres of influence, among which Finland was turned into the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. Not long ago, the Soviet Union took advantage of the situation to bring the Baltic powers to their knees, and Finland was the next target. The Soviet Union demanded that Finland cede part of its territory, and also demanded a concession of Finnish land in order to serve as a barrier to St. Petersburg.

This war broke out in the winter, so it is also called the Winter War. Both countries are close to the Arctic Circle, so you can imagine how cold it is to fight in that kind of place in winter! It is estimated that both the Soviets and the Finns were frozen into Alaska and Husky.

Regardless of the course and outcome of the war, the 1940 Helsinki Olympics were wiped out. Helsing was basically the receiver of Tokyo, and at this time the war in Europe had broken out, and it was difficult for the IOC to find a second receiver, so the 1940 Olympic Games could only be ignored and completely cool.

Chen Qiang has long known that the 1940 Olympic Games will not be held, and the 1944 Olympic Games will not be held, and the next Olympic Games will not be held until London in 1948. So since he came to the United States, Chen Qiang hasn't done much formal training, anyway, the Olympics can't be held, what else to practice!

And now Chen Qiang also has his own career, that is, the gym, and Chen Qiang's main energy on weekdays is also on the gym.

For the elite athletes of various countries, the cancellation of the Olympic Games is undoubtedly a shocking news, many people are still gearing up to make a big splash in the Olympic Games, but the Olympic Games are directly gone, and years of preparation and desire for the Olympic Games have also come to naught.

For example, Esther, she is still looking forward to participating in the 1940 Olympics with Chen Qiang, which has been her wish for many years. As a result, now the Olympics are gone, which makes Esther unhappy.

The woman was unhappy, of course she had to coax, Chen Qiang had to coax Esther, and finally made a wish to take Esther to watch the NFL Finals, and Esther became happy.

……

In the last month of 1939, except for the Soviet Union and Finland, which were fighting, the rest of Europe was peaceful, and even Britain and France had declared war on Germany, but the war had not yet broken out. Both sides seem to have a tacit understanding and have no intention of having a substantial exchange of fire before Christmas.

At sea, the British Navy sank a German U36 submarine, the first German submarine to lose in World War II.

On land, Corporal Thomas Pridy of the British Expeditionary Force stepped on a French mine, inflicting the first casualties of World War II on the British.

At this time, Chen Qiang took Esther to Milwaukee to watch the 1939 NFL Finals.

In the future, rugby is the number one sport in the United States, and the NFL league of football is also the number one sports league in the United States, and the NFL finals are often scheduled in February, which is called the "Super Bowl" and is also called the "American Spring Festival Gala" by Chinese fans.

In 1939, the NFL finals did not reach the level of the "American Spring Festival Gala", and the time of the game was not February of the following year, but December of that year. There was no "Super Bowl" at that time, and the NFL finals were called the "National Football Championship".

In 1939, there were only 10 teams in the NFL, and each team only had to play 11 regular season games, which would take less than three months to complete a season based on one game per week.

And many of these ten teams are familiar teams in the future, such as the New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Washington Redskins, and Philadelphia Eagles. In addition, the Pittsburgh Steelers were still called the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Rams were still in Cleveland instead of Los Angeles.

The 1939 NFL Finals were the New York Giants vs. the Green Bay Packers, and those who are familiar with the NFL are certainly no strangers to these two teams, even in the future, this team is also a giant team in the NFL, with many superstar football players.

The future New York Giants and Green Bay Packers are both teams in the National League and are unlikely to meet in the finals, but the 1939 NFL was not divided into the American League and the National League, so the two teams could meet in the finals.

Seeing this match, Chen Qiang couldn't help but think of the 2012 NFL playoffs, when the division playoffs of the National League were also the New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers, that year's Green Bay Packers were really invincible, the star Rogers just won the MVP, and the Green Wan Packers also had the highest call to win the championship, but unfortunately, in that playoffs, the Green Bay Packers were comprehensively crushed by the New York Giants, and Manning, who was still at his peak, led the New York Giants to defeat the Packers, And in the final Super Bowl, they knocked out Tom Brady's Patriots and won the eventual victory.

And the New York Giants in 1939 were also unprecedentedly strong, when the New York Giants were the defending champions, so more people were optimistic about the New York Giants, even in Milwaukee, there were still many fans cheering for the New York Giants.

However, the Green Bay Packers fans are not far behind, the Green Bay City where the Packers are located, which should be the smallest of all the teams in the four major sports leagues in the United States, but the Green Bay Packers have the most loyal fans in the United States. If the future New York Knicks can have three generations of fans, then the Green Bay Packers have four generations of "diehards" It is no exaggeration to say that in the small city of Green Bay City, almost everyone is a fan of the Green Bay Packers, and it has never changed for decades.

Blessed by some of the nation's most loyal fans, the Packers also went from strength to strength, completing a touchdown with just seven passes in the first quarter, and kicker Paul Engebrisson hit an extra ball to give the Green Bay Packers a 7-0 lead.

In the second quarter, both sides scored, and in the third quarter, the Green Bay Packers hit a 29-yard free kick and then completed a touchdown to make it 17-0.

In the final quarter, the Green Packers replicated the offensive of the third quarter, first hitting a 42-yard free kick and then completing a touchdown to make the score 27-0.

This result surprised everyone. After all, the New York Giants are the defending champions, and the Green Bay Packers are just a small city team, even if the New York Giants will lose the game, they will not lose a 27-0, this kind of game can be said to be a one-sided crush, and the New York Giants have no power to fight back at all.

The fans in New York are very disappointed, including Esther, although she is not a New Yorker, but she has lived in New York for most of the year, and she also has feelings for New York, and now that the New York Giants have lost, Esther will of course be very unhappy.

Not being able to participate in the Olympics has made Esther sad, and now even the team she supports has lost, and the little girl always has a drooping face on the train back.

In order to make Esther happier, Chen Qiang had no choice but to take Esther to visit the shopping mall, and came out of the shopping mall with a large bag and a small bag, and Esther instantly became the cheerful and lively little girl.

So in the future, some people say that the best way to make a woman happy is to buy her a bag, and if one is not enough, buy two.

At this time, it was almost Christmas, and Chen Qiang originally planned to take advantage of "Black Friday" to go shopping, but when he arrived at the mall, he realized that there was no "Black Friday" in this era.

The shopping street of "Black Friday" began in the 50s and became popular in the 60s, and it really became a shopping festival in the United States in the 80s, so Chen Qiang has to wait another 40 years if he wants to experience the real "Black Friday".

At this time, Billy Rose's water show was also temporarily suspended, firstly, Christmas was approaching, and Americans also had to celebrate the New Year in the country; Second, it was winter, and it was snowing in New York, and the water was starting to freeze, so there was no way to perform water shows.

So Esther also suspended her work on water performances and taught aerobics at Chen Qiang's gym all day.

Louis Williams, who was far away in Los Angeles, also wrote to Chen Qiang, asking Esther to go home for Christmas, and inviting Chen Qiang to come to Los Angeles for Christmas, which made Chen Qiang hesitate for a long time.

Chen Qiang and Louis Williams are friends who share hardships and hardships, Chen Qiang was reduced to performing in the circus to earn the passage back to China, and Louis Williams also had a career because of the economic crisis, and the two wrote hand in hand through the most difficult time.

And Chen Qiang and Esther became a couple, Louis Williams, who is a father, doesn't know yet, and Chen Qiang doesn't know how to explain to Louis Williams, I can't say that I kidnapped your daughter! In case all the way, Wiss Williams thinks that I treat you as a brother and you my daughter, that is not good!

But Chen Qiang thinks about it carefully, this kind of thing has to be known to Louis Williams sooner or later, and Louis-Williams and his wife are also in their fifties, if their eldest son is still alive, he is older than Chen Qiang, and it doesn't seem inappropriate for Chen Qiang to be their son-in-law.

So Chen Qiang simply bought a train ticket and returned to Los Angeles with Esther.

……

In Los Angeles, the Louis Williams family has been replaced with a bigger house.

Esther's older brother and sister are already married, and Americans in the old society also married early, and it was not uncommon for women to marry and have children at the age of eighteen.

In the room, Louis Williams looked at Chen Qiang with a serious gaze.

"Are you serious about Esther?" Louis Williams asked.

"Of course. Luis, you know me and know I'm not the kind of person who is irresponsible. Chen Qiang nodded seriously.

Louis Williams let out a long sigh, although he never thought that this kind of thing would happen, but since his daughter was willing, he couldn't stop it. Moreover, Louis Williams has known Chen Qiang for many years, and he still knows something about Chen Qiang's character and ability, and it is better to entrust his daughter's lifelong happiness to a person who knows the roots.

But from the bottom of my heart, Louis Williams is still a little difficult to accept, when he was in New York a few months ago, he asked Chen Qiang to take care of Esther, but he didn't let Chen Qiang take care of Esther to bed! Louis Williams has a feeling that her daughter was abducted by Chen Qiang!

Fortunately, Americans' concept of marriage is different from that of China, and they basically don't pay attention to what parents do, as long as the child likes it, what status, status and age are not a problem. If it were in China, Chen Qiang would probably be kicked out with a broom by his future father-in-law.

After Christmas, Chen Qiang came to Los Angeles' Chinatown again to visit those acquaintances back then.

When Chen Qiang came to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics, the Tang community in Los Angeles gave Chen Qiang a lot of help, and now Chen Qiang has come to Los Angeles again, of course, to see those overseas Chinese who have helped him.

Returning to Los Angeles' Chinatown, Chen Qiang was also treated like a hero. Chen Qiang's performance in the Los Angeles Olympics made the Chinese in Los Angeles raise their eyebrows, and many overseas Chinese still remember the scene of the year, and for many young Chinese, Chen Qiang is their idol.

Under the influence of Chen Qiang, there are many Chinese teenagers in Los Angeles who love sports, but due to the low status of Chinese in the United States, these Chinese teenagers do not have access to professional sports training.

So Chen Qiang decided to come to Chinatown every day during his stay in Los Angeles to give these Chinese teenagers some formal sports training.

……

In a park near Chinatown, Chen Qiang corrects the long jump posture of a Chinese teenager.

"Ambassador Hu, Jian Chen is there!" There was also a voice, and a few people came in the distance.

Chen Qiang took a closer look, and the person who came was a Chinese from Chinatown, and there was a person among the Chinese, it turned out to be Hu Shi!

Chen Qiang immediately greeted him: "Sir, why did you come to Los Angeles?" ”

"It's a long story!" Hu Shi sighed and the reporter said; "Pack up and take me on a trip to San Francisco! The specifics, we said on the road. ”
