Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 985: Second Visit to Ryukyu
On the west side of Ryukyu, a port was full of people.

Onaga Zhixiong, wearing an "old cadre suit" that was becoming more and more fitting for him, stood on the shore with a smile on his face.

Compared to more than a year ago, the reconstruction of Ryukyu has made great progress, the welcoming team is becoming more and more formal, and he no longer needs to greet people all the time, as someone will naturally do it for him.

The entire team is not only strong in terms of rank and number of horses, but is also becoming more and more formal.

As the current "backbone" of Ryukyu, he was the one who went to Hangzhou to attend the summit after all.

The realm is different!

On the other hand, the royal descendant Shang Zhi has become more mature. As the current "backbone" of Ryukyu, he is just over 30 years old and already has white hair on his head.

Further away, there are a large number of Ryukyu residents, with their families, some standing on the high slopes, and some standing on the roadside.
At a glance, there are hundreds of people, and the number is still increasing.

After standing in the scorching sun for half an hour, I finally saw the ship appearing on the sea surface.

There are twenty or thirty ships at a time, and most of them are warships.

If it was in the past, Onaga Zhixiong's pants would have been wet, but now...
They are all from my dad’s house, a feast for the eyes!
Ten minutes later, a luxury cruise ship first docked, and Onaga Zhixiong's eyes lit up.

According to the prior notification, the warships will not dock immediately, and there is no need for such an ostentatious welcome. They will continue to patrol in the "nearby" waters for a period of time, which is also part of the exercise, and will not go ashore from another military port until a few days later.

But the area nearby is quite large, so I’ll probably have to show off my power for a while.

And there are more people from "Fu Rui Group" on this cruise ship.

Not far away, in front of the Ryukyu specialty event, the girls' high school team, the commander immediately shouted.

"Blow it up! Shake it up!"

"Don't sway side to side! Sway back and forth!"

The band began to play happily, and the girls holding bouquets began to wave their hands constantly. From a distance, it looked very lively.

On the deck of the cruise ship that was getting closer and closer, Zhou Rui looked helpless.

These guys are working on these useless projects again.

However, compared to the last time, the female high school students looked much better. Last time, they felt like they were about to die from playing the flute. It was obvious that they were not getting enough food but were still forced to work.

Han Ziyin put away her parasol. She was confused by the scene, as if she was in a movie. She whispered:

"You're outside. Why is the situation so big?"

Zhou Rui laughed dryly: "It's a local feature. People here like to make a fuss about it."

In addition to Zhou Rui himself, there were nearly a hundred people from the Fu Rui Group on the cruise ship, mainly Taiyi workers.

Including key engineers such as Shan Chunyuan and Che Qian, more will come by plane in the future.

In addition, there are dozens of military teams responsible for coordinating the "joint exercise", led by Bao Guilong, a civilian officer in his 40s.

These people were mainly responsible for coordination and communication, while the real commanders and participants only arrived a few days later.

Bao Guilong looked at the noise below and couldn't help but say, "Boss Zhou is really popular in Ryukyu."

A younger officer nearby said, "Master Zhou has another nickname here, Zhou Hemisphere."

Bao Guilong widened his eyes.

The other party pretended to show off and said:
"It is said that most of Ryukyu's industries are under the name of Master Zhou. Although it is only an island with a population of 600,000, it can almost be said that it is the breadwinner."

Bao Guilong: "Hey! Explain it earlier, or I'll be thinking the wrong thing."

"Uh, what are you thinking?"

"Uh, nothing."

After the gangway was set up, the red carpet rolled to the bottom. The band and cheerleaders stood on both sides, waiting for the guests to come down.

Zhou Rui didn't hesitate and walked down first.

Because there were a large number of cameras, after Zhou Rui solicited opinions, all the beauties in his family, both young and old, chose to join the people from Fu Rui Group later.

Neither Han Ziyin nor Li Wenqian wanted to draw too much attention. They were here for vacation, not for an official announcement.
Zhou Rui and Weng Chang Zhixiong hugged each other, mainly for the camera. In front of the camera, this man was also a local leader.

As for those who came to the port to greet them, they were still familiar faces, including Onaga Zeyu, Nakai Moto, Shingen Yui, and Shang Zhi.

By the way, in principle, they are now called Gu Zeyu, Cai Ji, and Lin Jieyi. Only Shang Zhi, as a descendant of the royal family, has not changed his surname.

However, Ryukyu is currently in the process of transformation, and in most cases, it is more convenient to just treat them as having two names.

These people had just met in Hangzhou a month ago, but they still looked at Zhou Rui with warm eyes. Weng Chang Zhixiong: "Mr. Zhou, the people of Ryukyu have been looking forward to you for a long time, and you are finally here again!"

A silky boss almost said it, then he remembered there was a camera, luckily he reacted quickly.

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Hello, Governor Gu. I'm glad to be in Ryukyu again. Your Chinese is getting better and better."

"We should practice more to return to our cultural roots. It's not just me, the whole Ryukyu Islands are carrying out cultural revival."

Amid the sound of gongs and drums, a group of people headed outside. There were still many people following behind them, but Zhou Rui did not need to wait for everyone to get off the boat. He just waited for the military representative Bao Guilong to come down, and after introducing himself, he set off first.

The red carpet was very long, and the welcoming teams on both sides were very enthusiastic. Several high school girls were waving bouquets, almost reaching Zhou Rui.

The onlookers farther away were even more enthusiastic and shouted from afar.

"Chou Sama! Welcome to Ryukyu!"

"Chow Sama! Look here!"

From a distance, Zhou Rui smiled and waved to the crowd, then got into the courtesy car with Weng Chang Zhixiong.

Hey, it’s also a Red Flag, but it’s just a civilian model.

“This car is a good choice.”

Weng Chang Zhixiong smiled and said, "I bought it when I came back from Hangzhou last time."

As a result, Zhou Rui had good eyesight and saw that the mileage displayed on the dashboard showed 38 kilometers.

Wow. It’s a second-hand one.

We can send a more advanced model later for Onaga Zhixiong to use as a car.

Let’s not talk about whether Onaga Yoshio himself deserves the title. Well, he certainly doesn’t deserve it, but it is a good statement to the outside world.

As we moved forward, Onaga Shio introduced the itinerary.

This time when he comes to Ryukyu, Zhou Rui will no longer stay in the "Old Royal Villa" in the Naha City Park, because the number of his entourage has increased several times, and they will all stay in the seaside resort hotel.

This is the project that Zhou Rui and I came here last time. It is invested by Old Butterfly Khalid. It has five-star standards and very good hardware. It is the starting point for the revival of Ryukyu's tourism industry and has been in operation for only a short time.

The first half of the day was mainly spent inspecting/checking the work done in various places, promoting the next phase of work of the "Ryukyu Investment and Reconstruction Committee", having cordial contact with local people, etc., and then going to the "Kate Rocket Base" for acceptance.

The second half is the "joint exercise". In this part, Zhou Rui mainly acts as a witness and a representative, and contacts the 13 invited observers. The exercise itself does not require him to arrange it, as Bao Guilong and others will do it themselves.

In fact, preparations for the joint exercise had already begun several months ago. After all, the Ryukyu troops were newly formed and trained.

The guns are all homemade.
The real purpose is not to drink. No one would think that the reason why China conducts joint exercises with Ryukyu is because the Ryukyu troops are worth training with.
Everyone knows this, and no one cares.

After driving a few kilometers, Zhou Rui looked at the scene outside the car and found it was much better than the last time he came.

There were no more large debris on the road, and the particularly conspicuous holes had been filled. Zhou Rui also saw an old bus.

Zhou Rui: "It's recovering pretty well. Are the buses running normally?"

Onaga Shio smiled and said, "There are more than a dozen buses on the island that can be used, but currently only three lines are in operation. The main reason is that Ryukyu is long and narrow from north to south, and it is really inconvenient without public transportation."

Theoretically speaking, this bus line can also be regarded as his "Hemisphere" industry. The property rights or income of most of the public facilities in Ryukyu have been mortgaged to the "Ryukyu Reconstruction Investment Committee" in exchange for reconstruction investment.

In the committee, apart from the silent organizational force, there is only the Fu Rui Group.

However, these so-called mortgages are basically not profitable and are currently losing money.

“How is the tourism industry doing?”

"There are already a few tourists coming here, maybe a few dozen a day. Although not many, the momentum is good. Most of them are from China."

Zhou Rui had predicted at the beginning that the recovery of Ryukyu's tourism industry would still depend on Chinese tourists. In terms of origin, the remaining Japanese style is a product of colonialism, but in terms of tourism, it can also be regarded as an exotic style and is still attractive to the domestic market.

"The civil airport has been reopened, although there are only four or five flights a day, all of which are small planes. Some tourism facilities have also been gradually opened, such as the civil docks."

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, the people from the committee said that due to the National Day holiday and your presence here, it is estimated that the number of tourists from China will increase in the next few days. Let us be prepared."

Zhou Rui thought about it and nodded:
"Yes, it will increase. It will increase greatly. You should be prepared for it."

National Day holiday + exotic customs + you can also come and see the joint exercises and the excitement of the rocket base.

I guess not a little bit.

Onaga Shio laughed: "That's great, everything is moving in a good direction, Ryukyu will become better and better..."
