Chapter 691: Exhibitions and Memories of Tokushima City Park (Part II)
In the morning in Tokushima City's Zhongshan Park, Feng Longde and a large group of old brothers from the original Iron and Blood Society just wandered around here, plus looked at the surrounding stalls and shops and the various attractions that already existed here—not so much that these guys were visiting the comic convention, but that they were mainly concentrating on relaxing their minds as much as possible now, and then they would think about visiting the comic exhibition, patting the girls, and playing a few mock battles.

Before finding a suitable grass at noon and buying a bento box and sitting comfortably on the ground, Feng Longde and a large group of old brothers from the original iron-blooded society mainly went to the merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel here to play: these two places are a must-visit when they come to Zhongshan Park in Tokushima City to be nostalgic, and only the sightseeing ropeway is unlikely to let them do it directly one by one, so they played in these two scenic spots, and almost at noon, they began to eat first, and then prepared to visit the exhibition in the afternoon to photograph the girls and play the simulation battle。
"According to my godparents, in the 80s and 90s of the last century, the merry-go-round was introduced in Tokushima City's Zhongshan Park, which is said to be the first mechanical attraction in our island town, and it paid off, and everyone wanted to play it. Sitting cross-legged on the grass, Feng Longde poured down most of the bottles of mineral water, washed the food crumbs left in his mouth and wiped his mouth, telling many stories about this place with Hatsune Miku, Caroline, Weisk and a group of old brothers from the former Iron and Blood Society: " From there, the children went straight to the merry-go-round to buy tickets and queue up as soon as they entered Tokushima Nakayama Park, and sometimes there were people in line when it was time to get off work, and if it was the weekend, it would take at least half an hour to queue up to play, which shows how attractive this kind of entertainment was in those days when there were no outdated entertainment facilities......
"Well, by the way, Lao Feng, I remember my grandfather once told me that in 1994, Tokushima Zhongshan Park introduced Tokushima's first Ferris wheel from Shanghai and installed it on the west side of the park. A guy dressed in a full Berghall pikeman costume interjected, saying that he was also a native of Tokushima like Feng Longde and other Chinese Germans, but he was of Chinese descent, "That twenty-meter-tall behemoth immediately attracted the attention of people in my grandfather's time, and as a result, every weekend, a large number of people were crowded under the Ferris wheel, and it took about an hour and a half to queue for a turn." ”
"Coincidentally, my grandmother also told me about Nakayama Park in Tokushima City, which seems to have been built together in 1994, and the 1,000-meter-long sightseeing ropeway that we didn't go to today was built together at that time. Another guy dressed as a Teutonic knight nodded, the guys staying here are all from Tokushima City, and basically all have different memories of Nakayama Park in Tokushima City, that is, Caroline and Hatsune Miku don't know, but this is not realized by anyone else here except for Feng Longde and Weisk and others," There seem to be 110 double chairlifts, divided into two routes from Zhongshan Park to Taiping Mountain and Taiping Mountain to the Botanical Garden, the whole trip takes about half an hour, visitors can enjoy the park scenery in the air, it is more a test of the psychological quality of tourists, and there can be no fear of heights......"
"That's right, I remember Lao Feng, don't you just have a fear of heights? Where did you come back before, but I just proposed that you try the sightseeing cableway, which scared Lao Feng so much that you looked like you would rather jump into the sea. An old brother from the former Iron and Blood Society interjected jokingly, pointing at Feng Longde.
"Hey, I was born with this problem, but I've always paid attention to overcoming this aspect, so I shouldn't be afraid anymore if I'm thirty or forty meters. Feng Longde snorted, his original fear of heights and poor physical balance were well-known in the Iron and Blood Society, but now the latter is completely gone, and the former is still stubbornly remaining, but basically has overcome a lot," Don't talk about the past, even if you let me go now, I will not go, I am afraid of heights, if I really want to go to Taiping Mountain or Botanical Garden, I will walk there directly, I am not interested in taking the rope car, if it is really a 1 in a million chance of an accident and not die and fall on me, then it will be a lot of fun......"
"It's really the same, a group of our old brothers thought that Lao Feng would have quite a earth-shaking change after you went abroad, but I didn't expect Lao Feng that these little quirks of yours are still retained, which is surprising enough. A group of old brothers of the original Iron and Blood Society said in a calamity, when the Iron Blood Society was still in normal existence, although Feng Longde was not usually involved in the management of the Society, he was quite active in both training and playing simulated battles, and quite a few old brothers of the original Iron Blood Society admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Ha, going abroad is not a change of race, can I still be transgender or perverted......" Feng Longde shrugged, he spent most of his time in Gensokyo in the past two years, and chatting with the original brothers was a very pleasant thing for him, and he didn't feel annoyed, "But I remember when we were children, there weren't as many visitors to Tokushima Central Park as there were our parents or grandparents' generation: Tokushima City Zhongshan Park" In 1996, in order to attract tourists, Tokushima City Zhongshan Park introduced amusement facilities such as rotating coffee cups and spaceships, and although many people came every weekend, there was no 'sensational effect' of the merry-go-round......
"In this regard, I have heard my family's comic parents analyze, Lao He. Weisk scratched his head and said, his father is the CEO of the company, and he has always been a veteran in analyzing this kind of situation, and people with so many social experiences don't care who it is, at least they have enough brains and basic deduction and reasoning ability, otherwise it would not be their turn to be in a high position," According to my wonderful father, after the mid-90s of the 20th century, the traffic of Zhongshan Park in Tokushima City was obviously not as much as in the 80s and early 90s, and the emergence of new attractions was of course the reason on the one hand, and the reason on the other hand was that the traffic conditions gradually improved, and it was much more convenient for everyone to go to the old man and Laoshan Mountain than before, and naturally the citizens began to like to go to these places to visit, and even the impact on the Zhongshan Park in Tokushima City was not as lively as before. ”
Feng Longde nodded: "It's still like this, old people, I remember that after two thousand years, there are obviously a lot fewer tourists in Zhongshan Park in Tokushima City." Richard said with a nostalgic expression on his face, when the 21st century first came, Tokushima City's Zhongshan Park hardened a considerable part of the mud and sand roads in its own park, changed the telephone poles to ground wires, and the original tweeters were replaced with lawn horns, and many new flower varieties were introduced...... As a result, there are fewer and fewer tourists in Nakayama Park in Tokushima City, and for several years it has been a place where local old men and old ladies go back......"
However, at the time of the Beijing Olympics, Tokushima City's Zhongshan Park and a number of other attractions officially opened to the public for free, and as a result, the flow of people rebounded significantly. Weisk spread his hands and replied, because he likes to exercise outdoors the most, so he needs to know a lot about these things, "It should be April 12th, the entire Tokushima City Park is full of people, and just like that, there are still many people rushing to Tokushima City's Zhongshan Park, which makes the park gate a mess...... There are buses and private cars, and there are cars parked everywhere near the park, and it is said that some citizens even parked their cars in the Badaguan Scenic Area......
Speaking of this, Weisk was silent for a few seconds, and after clearing his thoughts, he continued: "Although our family, who was also going to come to see at that time, had expected that there would be a lot of people, but who knew that there would be so many people - more than 100,000 visitors on the first day, and 240,000 passengers on the second day...... In the first few days of the free opening, the number of visitors to Tokushima City Park was kept at a minimum of about 100,000 people, so our media here was commissioned by Tokushima City Zhongshan Park to issue a special news release to remind Tokushima citizens to stagger the peak crowd to visit the park......"
"No, I think it was in April 2009 that there was a playground in Nakayama Park in Tokushima City, and this bustle has continued to this day. Lilia interjected, and stretched her arm vigorously, "After all, it is a century-old garden, and that kind of heritage is still there, as long as it can keep up with the current trend in time and retain the corresponding natural fragrance, this place will not be completely forgotten, otherwise Tokushima Zhongshan Park will not have such a terrible flow of people just decided to open for free under the premise of several years of desertion." ”
"That's right. Feng Longde nodded, "In order to modernize these years, and because of a certain catastrophe in the last century, many old things in our Dedao Island are gradually disappearing...... But fortunately, at least there are still many people who pay attention to this, otherwise it would really become a so-called modern city of complete steel and concrete...... I'd rather not come back......"
"Hahahaha......" While laughing, everyone present also understood what Feng Longde meant: the concept of Tokushima City as their hometown is mainly reflected in these attractions that seem to be common but even easy to ignore, because it is these attractions or buildings that carry their memories from childhood to adulthood, as well as the past of the city, if these are gone, then naturally there will be no corresponding sense of belonging.
"Forget it, we've talked enough about Nakayama Park in Tokushima City and our old Tokushima. After opening a can of iced Coca-Cola and drinking it all in one go, Feng Longde scratched the back of his head, which was slightly uncomfortable by the chain mail head and shoulders, "After resting or moving on our own for an hour after eating a full stomach, let's start preparing for a simulated battle - combat skills are still a bit limited to maintaining daily training on their own, and they have to practice or fight collectively to progress, so we can't be lazy...... What's the big guy's opinion?"
Everyone: "Nonsense! We came here this time in full gear, and we didn't have anything to do, we just waited for Lao Feng (Lao He) to say this!"
☆
In the following whole afternoon, Feng Longde and the others had three simulated battles with the old brothers of the original Iron and Blood Society: for these guys who are more or less extremely keen on violence in the depths of their bones, the simulated battle is just the right way to completely vent that kind of violence to the greatest extent of mutual security, and it also saves them from itching and giving Cei at every turn in their daily lives- This kind of thing can't be said to be common, but it is by no means uncommon, at least if you flip through the newspaper or pay attention to the news, let alone in China, this kind of thing happens from time to time all over the world, such as burglary, running into the room of a sumo wrestler, being thrown by the latter, or trying to rob the person in the car with a gun, only to be successfully seized by the other party and killed...... No, this is purely because the criminals themselves don't have eyes and brains to deliberately provoke these people with two brushes, and it is completely different from those who have practiced to take the initiative to find trouble......
In any case, the Iron and Blood Society has corresponding measures at the beginning of this regard, that is, to regularly organize collective training and simulated warfare such collective training activities, so that this group of vigorous guys who are in the prime of their youth can consume their brave and ruthless energy to a certain extent through training and simulated battles with a high safety factor, so as to avoid a lot of moth situations and save any bad impact on the Iron and Blood Society; , is simpler, more direct and effective than all kinds of open and secret battles like regular clubs, so this is the most important reason why the Iron and Blood Society can be reorganized at any time even if it has already been actively disbanded.
In the eyes of these guys whose hobbies are cold weapons fighting against martial arts, when they are young, instead of devoting most of their energy to learning what knowledge they may not necessarily use in this life, or chasing what they don't know about so-called celebrities or other famous figures, it is better to practice this well - not only can temper their minds in this way, but also can also have the effect of strengthening the body, which is definitely much better than doing those things that are not necessarily thankless.
For anyone, the body is their greatest capital, and the ideological quality is their most basic internal, and these guys like the original Iron and Blood Society are more or less aware of this, and continue to train these two aspects through cold weapons and fighting.
