Chapter 44: Boxing Match (Recommended, Collected)

  ument.write(

  Spent two days at the base in Washington, on the third day went to New York with Hughes to watch a boxing match, also accompanied by three old friends plus Reed this 'old young'.

  Ruid finally regained his mood after being depressed for a whole day, after all, being defeated by his own apprentice twice was really embarrassing. In the bar, Sun Xiang smiled and clinked glasses with Ruid without saying anything, Ruid looked at Sun Xiang's smile and slowly opened up his own smile, sometimes men are just that simple.

  Arriving at the station, he saw Shirley and Rita standing there, looking radiant. Sun Xiang couldn't help but smile proudly, feeling that having two beautiful girls with him was a real boost to his ego. Eric and others looked on enviously, thinking that Steve had really lucked out, managing to bring not one, but two beauties along.

  Many people boarded the train to New York, and on the train, Sun Xiang carefully told several people about his Chinese plan.

  Sun Xiang: "This time I came back to the US is to find some students with excellent flying skills to go to China with me, now the Chinese air force is no match for the Japanese side at all, and needs me to lend a hand."

  "Then when will you set off?" Eric asked.

  Sun Yat-sen replied: "After a few days and Hughes finishes his round-the-world flight, we will set off."

  A trio of sworn brothers, including Reid, all had their eyes wide open in an instant.

  "Alright, alright, I'll tell Hughes."

  Huse laughed and said: "You are all the best pilots, I was worried that there were not enough crew members, let's go together!"

  Several people burst into laughter, and Sun Xiang asked with a smile: "Now? Are you going to China with me?"

  Three sworn brothers immediately agreed to Sun Xiang's request and decided to go to China with him.

  Rui De thought carefully for half a day and still decided to discuss it with his wife, after all he was not like these three happy bachelors.

  "Steve, are you going to take a plane this time when you go to China?" Eric asked.

  Sun Hai replied: "Not necessarily, the Chinese side has already let Drake go negotiate, I estimate there will be a batch of military orders coming down, Hughes are you ready with the planes?"

  Huse smiled and said: "As long as it's just a one-time thing and doesn't exceed 100 planes, there won't be any problem."

  Sun Xiang rolled his eyes: "Do you think everyone uses money like you do?"

  "Are you going to help their army in China fight against Japan?"

  "Right, Japan invaded my motherland, I certainly can't just stand by and watch."

  Rui De smiled and said: "That's something to play with. In Japan, there is a guy named Funakoshi who claims to be the karate champion, and he is also in New York."

  Sun Xiang looked at Hughes, who nodded awkwardly: "That guy is challenging in New York, seems like he wants to have a match with the boxing champion this time."

  "Okay, I know."

  Hues saw Sun Xiang's reflection and felt a bit cold and strange: "Don't you want to meet him?"

  Sun Xiang lowered his head and thought seriously: "I'm afraid I'll lose control and kill him in Taishan."

  Richie shuddered, never having seen Xiang Sun look so serious before, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Sherry pulled on Xiang Sun's arm and gave everyone an apologetic smile.

  "Hughes let out an excited whoop: 'Steve! Let's go meet them, and after the boxing match, we'll take down his arrogant swagger.'"

  Sun Xiang glared at Hughes: "You're really a guy who's afraid that the world isn't chaotic enough."

  Xue Li looked at Sun Xiang worriedly: "Will it work? In karate, can't you use your feet? Your kicks are so powerful, what if you can't use them?"

  "Hughes smiled and explained: "Dear Shirley, it's not like that. Except for boxing, which can't use feet, other techniques can be used with feet."

  Xun Xiang was amused by Shirley's question: "Don't mention being a karate champion, even the current heavyweight boxing champion wouldn't be my match in a one-on-one situation."

  Hues looked skeptical: "These boxers are fast and punch hard, how can you fight with just your hands?"

  Sun Xiang proudly said: "Fist striking is also a project of combat, I started practicing stance and fist method."

  "Hughes ventured to ask: "Or else come with him? This hero, if he gets on the boxing ring, I'm afraid the New York audience will go crazy."

  Sun Xiang: "This, I really have no interest in it, just go take a look and that's it."

  Hues chuckled twice...

  The arrival time in New York is 1:00 pm, the boxing match will not start until 7:30 pm, Sun Xiang has been to New York before, but last time did not have a good trip.

  For Hughes, this is his home turf, and the first thing he does when he arrives in New York is to visit the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building.

  They had a sumptuous French dinner at the Top of the Empire State Building, and after eating their fill, the group moved to Liberty Island where the Statue of Liberty is located. Hughes brought three Ford Galaxies from his company to serve as their transportation.

  Hues and Herb in one, Sun Xiang with two girls in the second car, Damage Friends trio and Lieutenant Reed in another. They soon drove to New York Harbor, boarded a ship on the shore and headed to Liberty Island.

  On the steamboat, Sun Xiang looked at the Statue of Liberty in front of him, a 90-meter-tall copper statue that seemed like a giant scanning its surroundings.

  The goddess has her lips tightly closed, wears a radiant crown on her head, is dressed in an ancient Roman toga, holds aloft a torch that reaches 12 meters high with her right hand, and clutches a tablet symbolizing the United States Declaration of Independence with her left hand.

  The date of the Declaration's adoption, "1776. 7. 4", is inscribed beneath it. The base of the statue features a broken shackle and chain, with an inscription of the phrase "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants Thereof".

  On a granite base stands a statue inscribed with one of Emma Lazarus's sonnets.

  Send me those tired and poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free

  The wretched crowds abandoned on your bustling shores

  Those homeless people who have experienced many hardships

  Hand in hand, I stand at the Golden Gate, holding high the torch of freedom.

  Xun Xiang looked at it for half a day and didn't think the poem was well-written. Compared to China's poetry culture, oh, there's no comparison. From the bronze base of the goddess' skirt entering the building interior, take the elevator directly to the top of the base, surround the rotating staircase up to the crown on the goddess' head.

  Looking around, to the east can be seen the high-rise buildings of Manhattan Island, known as the "Iron Babylon"; to the south is New York Bay, with waves and boats reflecting each other; to the north is the Hudson River, stretching far into the distance.

  Xun Xiang hugged the two girls and whispered: "Being able to hug you and see such a beautiful view is my greatest happiness in this life. As long as you don't leave me, I won't let anyone take you away from me, not even the god of death."

  Sun Xiang's words were more intoxicating than any fine wine. The two little girls, regardless of the strange looks from passersby, tightly hugged Sun Xiang from both sides.

  Starting from 6 pm, a large number of boxing fans gathered at Madison Square Garden. A group of people who had dinner in New York Harbor drove to the destination. Hughes arranged for everyone to sit down in the front row. Hughes' reputation made many boxing brokers and journalists come forward to greet him and take photos with him, as if he were the most popular person at the moment.

  Sun Xiang found that the only people sitting in front of them were referees, which was a great location. The scene was somewhat chaotic, with half-grown children holding cigarettes and peddling them to people everywhere.

  Sun Xiang noticed that some middle-class people were discussing betting issues, and it seemed that they were going to try their luck tonight.

  In a corner of the boxing ring, several brokers were discussing the division of the match, which was indeed a bustling picture of the floating world.
