Chapter 147 (2/2)

Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898, and English can also be used here. This isolated island in the ocean is like a paradise, which is suitable for such a frustrated old man.

Su Ming may have guessed his idea, but as a penetrator and future man, he knows that the fantasy land far away from the world will not last long.

How far is Pearl Harbor from here? 50 nautical miles? 70 nautical miles?

It will not even take that long. Once World War II breaks out, the British navy will call on retired non commissioned officers to return to the army. With his previous position as captain of a destroyer, or at least a major, there will probably be a new ship.

The lack of a leg does not affect the combat effectiveness of the Navy, even if he can still lack an eye and a hand.

If you put on a hook and raise a parrot or monkey, the combat effectiveness may increase.

Parrots, in particular, need the kind of red hair, a mouth is the standard Caribbean accent, double face.

Su Ming laughs and pulls his pants down for him. The English man is just frustrated. He actually wants to return to the sea, but he didn't die before. It will make people lose their way.

”By the way, forget about the past. It's hard to remember the name of this island in Hawaiian.””Well, I can't remember when I first got here. This island is called kahoolawe, which is the eighth largest volcanic island in the Hawaiian Islands.”

Burd wiped his beard with a smile. He had a thick white beard, and he seemed to be well maintained.

Good. Now Su Ming knows his exact location.

It's just that cajolawe is not a tourist destination in the future, but a place where the United States tested bombs after 1950.

Although it was not here to test the atomic bomb, hundreds of thousands of other conventional bombs were tested here, which did not stop until President Bush took office in 1995.

Because there is no water on this large island, it has lost its value.

So...

”you are the only people on this island?” Su Ming is a little curious. In the memory of the death knell, cahor island is an empty island. Although it is true that some people lived on it, they did not expect to be British.

”Yes, I bought it from your governor for two thousand pounds.” Burd nodded with a smile. He liked it here, so he bought it.

Islands without fresh water are not worth the money. There are tens of thousands of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Although the island is larger, 2000 pounds is already a huge sum of money.

The British pound is a gold based currency, and after World War I, the pound is still strong, one pound is equivalent to 7.3 grams of gold.

Burd now looks about fifty years old, but he should have been only thirty or forty when he became captain. He was too young. This should have something to do with his family background or family. Otherwise, the pension for retired officers is definitely not enough to buy the island.

”And these people?”

Su Ming pointed to the people who resisted things on the wharf. Those people had darker skin. He thought they were indigenous people.

”They are my housekeeper, gardener and hired worker. They need to buy enough food and water from Honolulu every week, otherwise they can't survive on this island.”

I want to play escape from the world, but I still have a housekeeper and a gardener.

You know how to play.
