Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 437 Real-life version of "Roman Holiday"

With 1.5 bullets in ten boxes and 80 grenades, Chu Xiangqian now had enough bullets to practice his marksmanship.

The shooting skills of the Garand rifle, fed by 3 boxes of 4500 bullets, are now able to hit wherever you point.

Even moving or even running wild boars, bears and other wild animals can be killed with one shot.

Moreover, due to the enhanced eyesight and the fact that his physical strength is more than 10 times that of ordinary people, his eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people. He can hit targets three or four hundred meters away without using high-power lenses.

With a pair of naked eyes, you can achieve the effect of a 4x or 8x lens.

When it comes to long-range sniping, he is better than professional elite snipers.

On the contrary, it is the marksmanship of automatic rifles. Because there are not enough bullets, I have not practiced much.

In a happy mood, Chu Xiangqian put the 75 tons of breadfruit and 150 tons of rice stored in the warehouse this month on the open space.

After thinking about it, I took out 3 kilograms of dried fish and 100 wild boars that I had kept for the past few months.

By the way, the wild boar was also cleaned using gathering techniques, leaving all the meat, bones, and pig heads.

In fact, 100 seems to be a lot, but now 10 wild boars are refreshed in Xinshou Village every day, and 10 wild boars are only enough for [-] days.

But the weight of the meat and bones weighs more than 3 kilograms.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian simply took out 10 live cows and 50 live sheep and tied them to trees with leather ropes.

I also lost a lot of fodder beside the cattle and sheep.

Then we swam back to the yacht and sailed back to Hong Kong Island.

Xue Jianrong and the army leaders were all very happy after receiving these supplies.

If it weren't for the head of the army, and we still don't know who sent the supplies, we might have to thank him in person.

So just 20 AKs and [-] rounds of ammunition are nothing.

Chu Xiangqian wanted more weapons and ammunition in the future, at least a company's worth of weapons, which he could easily get.

In addition to food, China's foreign aid these days also includes a lot of weapons.

In the global arms trade, the 5 permanent members have always been the largest.

And these days it’s basically all for free.

The United States and red polar bears often give away tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons.

Otherwise, North Vietnam and South Vietnam would not have that many weapons and ammunition to sustain a war that would last 20 years.

Those weapons dealers who wander in the dark sell weapons every year that are less than a fraction of those sold by the United States and Red Polar Bear.

In mid-August, Chu Xiangqian had to fly to Rome to watch Margaret participate in the equestrian competition of the 8th Olympic Games.

Chu Xiangqian had previously thought about participating in the Olympics, but Hong Kong Island is still controlled by the British.

If he participated in the Olympics and won a gold medal, the British national anthem would be played. Chu Xiangqian instantly lost interest.

In addition, the flag being raised was a colonial flag. Chu Xiangqian would rather not participate in the Olympics than see that scene.

Otherwise, given his strength, in swimming, archery, and sports shooting competitions, basically as long as Chu Xiangqian participates, everyone else will run with him.

Being suppressed by Chu Qianqian all his life, he could only compete for No. 2 and No. 3.

At this time, the Olympic Games did not attract as much attention as they would a few decades later.

Many countries were unwilling to host the Olympics at all.

The reason is simple. At the very beginning, the Olympic Games followed three basic principles: non-professionalism, non-politicization, and non-commercialization.

But this principle was idealistic from the beginning and could not be realized at all.

However, for many years, it has been true that the costs of hosting the Olympic Games have been borne by the host city and the government of the country where it is located.

This is a huge burden for many countries and cities

It was not until the 84 Los Angeles Olympics that Los Angeles was forced to go commercial due to huge financial pressure.

Let many Olympic projects be run by a businessman.

Unexpectedly, what everyone thought was a loss turned out to be a huge profit after commercialization.

After that, countries became very active in applying to host the Olympic Games.

In the 60s, more than 9% of those who could compete were wealthy.

Otherwise, it will not be able to support the huge consumption of funds caused by training and off-duty work.

The influence of the Olympic Games in this era was limited. After all, televisions had not yet entered every household.

This means that the broadcast revenue is very small, which means that sponsors cannot use the Olympics to expand their influence, and the sponsorship fees are naturally not much.

During the Olympic Games, there were actually not many foreign tourists, and the economic improvement to the host city was very limited.

If you want to make money, you might as well dream.

When Chu Qianqian arrived in Rome, he got off the plane and entered the exit, and saw Nata holding a sign to pick him up.

When Nata saw that he was just pushing a suitcase, she immediately knew that he was troublesome and wanted to buy a change of clothes while in Rome.

While wasting away in the secret passage, he suddenly discovered that Chu Qianqian was pushing the box instead of carrying it.

Could not help the eyes light up.

The trolley case was sent to London last month, to Margaret and Norton, for advertising.

But there were only 100 in total. Margaret and Norton randomly gave them to some relatives, but found that they were running out of money.

Naturally, Nata had no chance to ask for one.

Nata rushed to Chu Qianqian, hugged him, put her feet up and kissed him.

After a while, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she hugged his arm with a charming look on her face. As she walked, she said that she also wanted a trolley suitcase.

Chu Qianqian laughed and said, "After staying in the hotel, I will call back to Hong Kong Island and have ten or eight boxes shipped to you by air."

Nata was overjoyed, then rolled her eyes and whispered, "My dear, I can't wait any longer. How about we go back to the hotel where His Highness is staying?"

Chu Xiangqian knew what this girl meant as soon as he heard it.

After leaving the airport, I got into the car that picked me up. As soon as I entered the center of Rome, I saw a hotel that looked pretty good.

Let the driver stop at the door, take Nata to a room, and teach this little girl a good lesson.

By the time the two returned to Margaret's hotel, it was already past 5 p.m.

As soon as she saw Chu Qianqian, Margaret walked over excitedly and wanted to jump directly into his arms.

But seeing Chu Qianqian smiling and shaking his head slightly, Margaret could only hold back her excitement, slowed down and walked to Chu Qianqian and stretched out her hand gracefully.

Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at the girl, then bent down to hold Margaret's hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand.

"Long time no see, Your Highness."

Margaret smiled, covered her mouth and whispered, "We haven't seen each other for 12 days and 15 hours, my dear."

Chu Qianqian was stunned, and he suddenly felt Margaret's love and attachment to him.

The two people's behavior of spreading dog food also made Margaret's entourage roll their eyes.

It's a pity that even if some people are dissatisfied, Margaret's sister, brother-in-law, and mother don't care about her emotional problems now.

No matter how dissatisfied the people around Margaret were, they could only keep this thought in their hearts.When they had a secret tryst with her at night, Chu Qianqian called her tenderly, which made Margaret even more excited.

He pestered Chu Xiangqian to work out three times in one night. If Chu Xiangqian hadn't had a physique and endurance far beyond ordinary people, he really wouldn't have been able to handle this little girl Margaret.

In the next few days, I accompanied Margaret to train at a rented horse farm in Rome in the morning. In the afternoon and evening, the two of them put on a little makeup and traveled around Rome.

When he saw the 'mouth of truth' on the wall of a Roman church, Chu Xiangqian instantly recalled the movie "Roman Holiday".

Margaret pulled Chu Qianqian and stood next to the Mouth of Truth, and asked with a smile, "My dear, do you love me?"

Chu looked forward and knew what this chick was thinking.

Simply put his hand into the mouth of the truth, looked at Margaret with an expectant face and said, "In the name of my ancestors and surname, I love the beautiful lady in front of me."

Margaret immediately raised her feet excitedly and hugged Chu Qianqian's neck tightly with her hands, "I love you too, love you very, very much."

Chu stepped forward and put his arms around Margaret's waist, and started to kiss her.

However, this is a popular classic, and there are still many non-Roman residents who come to Rome to travel and watch the Olympic Games.

When they heard someone applauding them, Chu Qianqian and Margaret separated and nodded to the applauding crowd.

After leaving the church and sitting on the steps of the Spanish Steps, Margaret leaned on Chu Qianqian's shoulder and said with a smile, "My dear, can we go on a trip every year from now on?"

Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "No problem, I will take you to Tianchao to escape the summer next summer. In winter, we will go skiing in the Alps.

Go hunting in the African savannah and surf on the beaches of Hawaii.

Go scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef and see kangaroos and koalas.Go to Antarctica to see penguins and whales. If you want to go, I will go with you. "

The more Margaret listened, the more she looked forward to it, and the more she fell in love with Chu Qianqian.

Holding his arm tightly with both hands, he murmured with a longing expression on his face, "I want to take pictures of everything we go to.

When we have children in the future, when we grow old, they will not only be beautiful memories, but also witnesses of our love. "

Chu Qianqian laughed, women are sentimental, but since he has money and enough free time, he can indeed go out with Margaret for a while every year.

While chatting, Margaret felt a little dry when she happened to see a mobile ice cream stand in the square not far away.

She held Chu Qianqian's arm and shook it a few times, then pointed at the mobile stall. Chu Qianqian immediately knew what she meant.

I bought two cones and a Coke and came back.

The two of them were smiling while eating cones and drinking Coke. Chu Xiangqian suddenly thought that the movie seemed to be filmed on the Spanish Steps.

After thinking about it, I still want to tell the plot of Roman Holiday.

If it is made into a movie in the future, it can also be said that Margaret is the prototype of Princess Anne in the movie.

"Dear, I suddenly thought of a story. Maybe it will be liked by many people after it is made into a movie."

Margaret was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Chu Xiangqian was not only the boss of a film company, but also the owner of 8 cinemas on Hong Kong Island.

I heard that the two movies produced are very popular in Southeast Asia.

He hurriedly asked, "What story?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the heroine of this story is not only a princess, but she is also based on you."

Margaret was now more interested.

The plot of Roman Holiday is very simple. A young princess from a certain European country travels to various countries on behalf of her country.

After arriving in Rome, I was under too much pressure due to too many schedules, and the people I came into contact with every day were well-dressed but cold-hearted politicians and senior officials.

Her mood suddenly collapsed, and the housekeeper had no choice but to ask the accompanying doctor to give her a shot of diazepam.

But the princess pretended to be asleep and sneaked out of the station quietly, traveling around Rome at night.

The entourage around Princess Anne was so frightened that they almost suffered a heart attack.

Princess Anne was playing in the city of Rome, and the diazepam began to take effect, and she actually fell asleep lying on the curb outside the temple.

The male protagonist was sent to Rome by the United States in a hurry. He played cards with his friends at night, and all he lost was his travel expenses, so he had to leave early.

While walking home, I happened to meet the heroine.

I kindly wanted to ask the heroine why she didn't go home late at night, but I didn't expect that the heroine was confused.

Not only did he not answer the questions asked, he also followed the male protagonist without any awareness.

At first, the male protagonist thought he had encountered a fairy jumping around, but when he looked around, there was no one there.

In addition, the heroine was following him all the time, so he was really worried about it, so he planned to take a taxi to take her home.

But subconsciously, the princess didn't want to go back to her residence, and actually said that the Colosseum was her home.

The male protagonist has no choice but to take her home temporarily.

When we arrived at the rented house, the princess said, "Is this an elevator?" ’ Chu Xiangqian felt funny when he thought about it.

One night passed, and the hero woke up while sleeping on the bed but leaving the princess on the sofa.

When I went to the newspaper office at work and was scolded by the editor, I saw the photo of the princess on the front page of the next day's newspaper. She looked exactly like the woman he brought back last night.

The hero's heart suddenly beat wildly with excitement.

While the princess was still sleeping, after a few test sentences, and through the sleepy princess's answers, the male protagonist was now sure that the woman he had picked up was actually the princess.

As a reporter, the hero's first reaction is to lie to the princess to get breaking news.

I found my best friend, who is also a friend of the photographer, and when the two of them took the princess around, they took the opportunity to take a lot of photos related to the princess.

If this was published in a newspaper, it would probably earn thousands of dollars in remuneration.

This was definitely a huge sum of money at the time.

When Chu Chu Xiangqian was funny, the 3 lire in the movie was only worth 50 US dollars.

When the male protagonist and the female protagonist are wandering around together, the male protagonist is inevitably attracted to the beautiful, kind and lively princess.

When he finally had to say goodbye, the hero also realized that it was impossible for him and the princess to be together.

It is this regret of not being able to love that makes this movie remembered by countless people who have watched it.

This kind of regret is also the most hopeful and saddest place in the hearts of countless ordinary men.

The so-called classics all end in tragedy.

As Chu Xiangqian talked, he quickly realized that the ending was really similar to the situation between himself and Margaret.

As a royal princess, Margaret could never marry an Asian, nor could she marry someone who was not an Anglican.

If Margaret hadn't been in her 20s, she might have been like Princess Anne in the movie, with everything controlled by the housekeeper and attendants around her.

Not even a little bit of freedom.

After Margaret heard the ending, she just felt sorry at first, but then she hugged Chu Qianqian's arm and asked him to change the ending.

Suddenly I thought, aren't I and Chu Xiangqian the ending of this story?
They unexpectedly met and fell in love on Hong Kong Island, but they had to worry about the opinions of the royal family and the outside world and did not dare to be together publicly.

Let alone get married.
