Chapter 138 Raising the prestige of our country (three watches, asking for a monthly pass)
In a Japanese-owned izakaya in Los Angeles, Kishi Seiichi, the president of the Japan Sports Association, was sitting alone, drinking alone.
At this time, Kishi Qingyi was already a little drunk, and if he drank it again, he might be drunk and unconscious. But the owner of the izakaya knew that this guest was a big man from China, and he didn't dare to step forward to dissuade him.
The Japanese who come to the United States to work hard far from their homeland must be at the bottom of the social ladder who are not living well in Japan, but any Japanese who live well in China will never cross the ocean to the United States to seek a living. In the hierarchical Japanese society, the bottom of the society naturally did not dare to talk to the big people, so the izakaya owner could only serve carefully.
Kishi Kishi was indeed drunk, and he really wanted to get drunk and forget the troubles in his heart, but the more drunk and hazy, the more the scene of the daytime game would appear in his mind, and the more sad and sad he felt in his heart.
How could a game that had already been won be overturned!
At this Olympics, the Japanese team hoped to win a gold medal in track and field, but it backfired, and the Japanese team has only won two silver medals so far, namely the silver medal in the triple jump of Tadahei in the south and the silver medal in the pole vault of Shuimo Nishida. It was clear that Japan did not have the plan that had been drawn up before the game.
And the Chinese team, relying on Chen Qiang alone, has already won four gold medals! It also broke world records in four events. Chen Qiang alone compared the entire Japanese team.
It is conceivable that the Japanese track and field team in the future will have the face to claim to be the first in Asia!
As the president of the Japan Sports Association, Kishi felt that he should take the main responsibility, so he had sent a telegram to Japan asking for punishment.
However, the act of pleading guilty did not make Kishi Kishi's heart feel better, and he finally came to this tavern to drink to kill his sorrows.
Footsteps came from outside, and an Asian man walked in, looking like a Japanese.
"I'm so sorry, sir, we're closing!" The izakaya owner spoke.
"I'm looking for someone." The other party said, and went straight to Kishi Qingyi.
When the izakaya owner saw that this person had come to find Kishi Seiichi, he stepped aside with great interest.
"President, a telegram has been sent from China." The man handed a telegram to Kishi Kishi.
"Is it my punishment decision! It came so quickly. The drunken Kishi Kishi Kiyoi seemed very calm, and after he took the telegram, he looked down.
"Huh?" Soon, Kishi Kiyoichi let out a cry of surprise, and at this moment, he felt that his wine had woken up for the most part.
"Go get me a glass of water." Kishi Kiyoshi opened his mouth and commanded.
"This guest, the shop has a special decanting soup, would you like to give it a try?" The izakaya owner asked.
"It's fine." Kishikiyo nodded in agreement, and it didn't take long for the izakaya owner to bring the decanting soup.
After drinking the sobering soup, Kishi Kiyoichi really sobered up a lot, he picked up the telegram again and read it carefully.
After a long time, Kishi Qingyi let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect such an order to be issued in China!" It was really unexpected. But this is also good, if it can be successful, not only can it solve Chen Qiang's big trouble once and for all, but it will also be beneficial to the future development of the empire. ”
Speaking of this, Kishi Qingyi turned his head and said to this subordinate: "You should immediately inquire now, where Chen Qiang of the Chinese team lives, it is best to find out his work and rest time." ”
"Hey!" The subordinate nodded, turned and left the izakaya.
……
In the dead of night, it was already late at night, but Shen Siliang was still waiting for the telegram from China.
Mrs. Shen walked up to the front and said, "You better stop drinking coffee, so you won't be able to sleep." These days, you go to bed so late every day, so it's better to go to bed early today. ”
"I just want to sleep a little later before I drink coffee." Shen Siliang continued: "It's evening on our side, but it's morning in our country, and my telegram should have been submitted by now!" ”
As the leader of the Chinese Olympic team, Shen Siliang will send the latest competition report back to China every day, and report the news of Chen Qiang's victory to China every day. Of course, Shen Siliang is different from those reporters, after all, he is a representative sent by the government, so his telegram is naturally sent to the government of the Republic of China.
However, every telegram he sent was lost, and there was no reply.
Shen Siliang is in the United States, of course, he doesn't know that domestic newspapers have been reporting the news of Chen Qiang's victory, and many people will be excited every day.
At this time, Shen Siliang most hoped to get a reply from the government of the Republic of China, hoping to get the government's approval, so that Chen Qiang, who was still fighting the field, or the entire Olympic team, also had an explanation.
However, what Shen Siliang wanted did not appear, there was no telegram sent back in China, and those bureaucrats seemed to have no concern at all about the Chinese Olympic athletes and the good results achieved by the Chinese athletes in the Olympic Games.
Shen Siliang didn't know that the Ministry of Education in China was still fighting for credit. And the bigwigs at the higher levels are also busy with other things.
Last year's "918" incident was also a political reshuffle for the top leaders of the Republic of China, and the bigwigs naturally wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and consolidate their own power. The senior officials will use this opportunity to compete for power and redivide their respective spheres of influence. At this time, how can those bigwigs have the time to pay attention to the Olympic Games, and how can they care about how many gold medals Chen Qiang has won in the Olympic Games!
Just imagine that the floods were so serious last year, and the bigwigs of the Republic of China were still busy engaging in infighting, just an Olympics, how could they care
Therefore, Shen Siliang's good intentions are in vain, even if he actively sends a telegram to China, the domestic bigwigs will not pay attention to him.
The high-ranking officials are indifferent to the Olympic Games, but the situation among the people is completely opposite, ordinary people are not interested in high-level political struggles, which official goes up, which official steps down, in the eyes of the people is also insensitive, anyway, no matter who is in office, the life of the common people is bitter haha.
In contrast, Chen Qiang's participation in the Olympic Games can resonate more with the people. China has been weak for a long time, and last year it lost the great rivers and mountains of Northeast China, and this kind of exciting news will naturally attract people's attention.
People like to hear some good news, what do those officials in the Republic of China do, they can't make enough money, they are always bullied by foreigners, and the common people can only find some exciting news from the sports field. It's better to have fun in the bitterness than to keep it in the end.
……
At the Shanghai Railway Station, a guest came to the newsstand and asked, "Is there any news of Chen Qiang today?" ”
"Of course there is, guest officer, please see, these newspapers have reported that Chen Qiang won the fourth gold medal! If you want to read it, it is recommended that you come to a "declaration", which is the most detailed. The newspaper dealer hurriedly introduced.
"Then give me a copy of the Declaration." The guest took the money, then took the newspaper and stood there and read it.
"Huh?" The guest suddenly made a voice of reason, and then he said dissatisfiedly: "This "Declaration" is a trick, how can it publish the news of the day before yesterday to fool people!" If it weren't for the fact that the date was today, I would have thought that you, the newspaper seller, deliberately used the newspaper the day before yesterday to trap me! ”
"Guest officer, how dare I pit you! I have been selling newspapers here for six years, and everyone knows that I Zhang Fugui has never cheated people. The newspaper seller paused, and asked: "Guest officer, this is indeed today's newspaper, and it is also full of today's news, how do you say that this is the news of the day before yesterday?" ”
"I read this news the day before yesterday, Chen Qiang won the gold medal in the long jump and defeated the Japanese named Nanfang Zhongping." The guest spoke.
"Guest officer, you misunderstood, the day before yesterday was a long jump competition, and today's one is a triple jump competition, which is different!" The newspaper dealer hastened to explain.
"Aren't they all jumping, what's the difference!" The guests obviously didn't understand the difference between the long jump and the triple jump.
"I don't know." The newspaper seller shook his head, and then said: "In short, Chen Qiang won another gold medal, and it was the Japanese who won!" You see, it says that Chen Qiang is the first, and the Japanese are the second! This time Chen Qiang gave us Chinese a long face again! ”
"That's right!" The guest nodded, then put away the newspaper, and continued, "Just because you won the Japanese, this newspaper is worth buying!" ”
The same thing keeps happening in Shanghai, and there are always people who complain about how the newspaper published the content of the day before yesterday, and there are always people who explain that the long jump and the triple jump are two different sports.
Chinese in this era, even some intellectuals, may not know the difference between the long jump and the triple jump, and those ordinary people with a low level of education will even confuse the two.
In fact, for the majority of ordinary people, as long as they can win, winning the Japanese should be celebrated, as for what kind of competition, it doesn't matter!
……
In Tianjin, Guan Wuye walked into a teahouse with a birdcage and found a good place to sit down.
On the small stage in the teahouse, a man in a long robe is telling a story.
"The book continues, yesterday we said that our Chinese athletes Chen Qiang and Chen Jian will go to the United States to compete in the Olympics, and they have already won three gold medals. But this Olympic competition is not over yet, and Chen Qiang will also participate in the triple jump competition next! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have to ask when you hear this, didn't this Chen Qiang skip the day before yesterday, why did he jump again today? Everyone, don't be impatient, and let me speak slowly......"
The storyteller on the stage actually talked about Chen Qiang's participation in the Olympic Games.
"It's just right to come, and today this 'Iron Mouth Liu' has just started to say." Guan Wuye immediately listened attentively.
Tianjin is the hometown of quyi in the north, Tianjin people also like quyi, the geographical location of Tianjin Dute, and the unique cultural characteristics of Tianjin people, formed the characteristics of Tianjin quyi. Storytelling, cross talk, drums, allegro, single-line, etc., all flourished and multiplied in Tianjin.
During the Republic of China, the Tianjin opera industry was also regarded as a master. Tianjin's quyi has also been keeping pace with the times, with old jokes adding new tricks, and some directly making up new jokes.
This storytelling artist named "Tiezui Liu" likes to make up new storytelling jokes, if you talk about old storytelling such as "Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Sui and Tang Dynasties", Tiezui Liu may not be able to beat those old gentlemen, but if you talk about new jokes, Tiezui Liu is definitely the only one.
This iron-mouthed Liu has a very flexible head, and he is especially good at editing, give him a newspaper, and he can compile a commentary according to the content of the newspaper, so he is also a very popular storyteller in Tianjin.
The story of Chen Qiang's participation in the Olympics was made up by Tiezui Liu reading the newspaper.
Tiezui Liu is a storyteller, where does he know what sports, but he can make it up, Chen Qiang's news report on winning gold, after such processing by Tiezui Liu, is enough to say a large paragraph.
Tiezui Liu has never watched the Olympics, he said that the storytelling is all made up blindly, so the sports in his mouth are different from the sports in reality. But storytelling, is it documentary literature in the first place, it doesn't matter if the storyteller doesn't understand anything, it doesn't matter if he relies on nonsense, as long as he can attract the audience, if you have to understand to be able to comment on the story, then if the storyteller comes to a section of "Fengshen List", he has to be able to spell it?
Mr. Storyteller doesn't understand sports, doesn't understand the Olympics, and the guest officer who listens to the book doesn't understand, everyone listens to the fun, even if someone else really understands sports, and hears that Mr. Storyteller is not right, he can't go to raise the bar with others. Storytelling is a pastime to listen to after dinner, and everyone is happy, eight out of ten sentences are fake, why bother to go up and talk to Mr. Storytelling about the whole right and wrong!
This iron-mouthed Liu can also be regarded as having some skills, he bought a copy of "Ta Kung Pao" in the morning, and saw the news that Chen Qiang won the gold medal in the triple jump, so he immediately went to inquire about what the triple jump was, and then made up a commentary, and said it in the teahouse in the afternoon.
And a few days ago, Tiezui Liu also compiled a commentary on Chen Qiang's gold medals in other projects, so he has gathered a lot of popularity, and when Tiezui Liu performed again today, a lot of spectators quickly gathered in the teahouse.
I saw Tiezui Liu standing behind the small table, holding a fan in one hand, and said while gesturing: "I saw that the Japanese Southern Zhongping, suddenly exerted a force, and then the whole person rose into the air, it was really like Dapeng spreading his wings, and after he landed, he was already a few zhang away, but Southern Zhongping did not stay, I saw the tip of his tongue on the top of the tooth hall, and mentioned the qi of the dantian, which was lucky......
“…… The referee of this foreigner shouted loudly, 15.72 meters, and suddenly everyone was shocked, you must know that Chen Qiang just jumped a 15.67 meters, and the Japanese jumped for his life, and he has already surpassed Chen Qiang......" Tiezui Liu said this, looked at the people under the stands, and found that the audience was all nervous, and some people heard that Chen Qiang was overtaken by Nanfang Zhongping, and they were anxious to pat their legs.
Tiezui Liu felt that it was almost over, and he began to talk about Chen Qiang's debut.
“…… When Chen Qiang appeared on the stage, I only heard him shout; I'm here too! Tiezui Liu said, slammed the eye-catching, calmed his tone, and then said: "Predict what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition!" ”
"Good!"
The audience immediately burst into continuous applause.
Of course, Chen Qiang didn't shout anything "I'll come", this was all made up by Tiezui Liu based on the reviews he usually read, but it won a full house with such processing.
Someone walked into the crowd with a bamboo basket to ask for money for Tiezui Liu. Guan Wuye, who was sitting in the front row, was happy to hear this, and directly took out a silver quill from his arms and threw it on the stage.
"Some of this uncle's rewards!" Tiezui Liu hurriedly thanked him.
Other listeners also donated generously.
I have to say that these storytelling listeners during the Republic of China period are really quite tolerant, Mr. Storyteller is stuck at a critical time, come to a "predict what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition", the audience not only scolded the mother, but also applauded, and some people were willing to pay for it.
If it is placed in the future, if you get stuck at any key point when you pass the level, no one will reward you, and you will have to be scolded as a "broken dog". I had to laugh and call "Wang" twice to pass the customs, which was really miserable.
……
Tokyo, Japan, due to the time difference, will get the results of the Los Angeles Olympics earlier.
"In the triple jump, my country's southern Zhonghei won the silver medal? Isn't the triple jump the strong event of our Japanese team, how can we only win a silver medal? ”
"Didn't you say before the competition that the triple jump is the track and field event where our Japanese team has the best chance of winning the gold medal? It was a disappointment to only win the silver medal. ”
"The silver medal was won by Tadahei Minami, and what about Mikio Oda? He was the triple jump champion at the last Olympics and the world record holder in the triple jump, so how could he have no results? ”
"Minami Tadahei's score is 15.72m, which has already broken the world record for Mikio Oda! broke the world record, but could only win the runner-up, the European and American powers are really powerful! ”
"You look carefully, the gold medalist is not a European and American power, but a Chinese!"
"What? Our athletes of the Great Japanese Empire actually lost to the Chinese! ”
"We lost to the Chinese in the most powerful project! What are we Japanese athletes doing, they should apologize with death! ”
On this day, the entire Japanese sports world was in mourning.
The triple jump is one of Japan's strongest events, and many Japanese people find it difficult to accept that they have won an Olympic title and a world record, but they have only won a silver medal.
More crucially, Japan lost to China this time.
If they lose to European and American powers such as the United States and the United Kingdom, the Japanese may feel a little better in their hearts, but if they lose to poor and backward China, how can this be! In particular, the so-called "elites" of Japan have shown strong dissatisfaction with the Japanese Olympic delegation.
In today's Japan, the whole country is in an atmosphere of victory. Through a war of aggression, Japan succeeded in occupying the entire Tohoku, which was about the size of five Japanese countries. For Japan, of course, this is an unprecedented victory! And the Japanese government is also touting this victory to divert attention from the economic crisis.
Therefore, the current Japanese, especially those so-called "elites", are generally proud, and Japan has firmly established the first position in Asia, since it is the first in Asia, it is the first in all aspects, including the economy, including the military, and naturally also sports!
The defeat in the triple jump at the Olympics was an instant blow to the self-confidence that the Japanese had just cultivated. The Japanese originally thought that Japan was now the first in Asia, and the next step was to rush out of Asia and go to the world, but the pace of going to the world was only halfway through, and when they looked back, they found that Japan had lost to its neighbor China again!
In the eyes of Japan's so-called "elites", China is a defeated country, and it was only recently pressed to the ground by Japan for a while, and now, the Japanese team lost to China in its most powerful competition, lost to the defeated country in the past, and lost the game in front of the whole world, which is really embarrassing!
Perhaps in the eyes of this group of Japanese "elites", this is not just a loss of a game, but the face of the Great Japanese Empire, which has been lost!
The third chapter is delivered, and I said before that the three chapters are completed, and I ask for a monthly pass!
