Red Alert 1895: Chapter 863 Seeds of Hate Part 2
d"Members of Congress, here is an inquiry letter sent by the Chinese embassy. They say that we in the United States have always valued democracy and the equality of all ethnic groups. So they question whether it is legal for us to remove black people from government positions? They are deeply concerned Those Negroes expressed injustice, they thought it would be illegal for us to remove Negroes from office. So they expressed deep doubt that we Americans could govern the country according to the law. So they wanted to ask!"
The members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives immediately became furious after hearing this. Originally, quite a few of them were relatively calm. As politicians, they were much calmer than ordinary people. It's not that they don't know that if black people are removed from government office at this time, the consequences will be disastrous. This has the meaning of "involvement", and this situation is very unfavorable to their so-called rule of law in the United States and the so-called equality of all ethnic groups.
Although everyone discriminates against blacks, ordinary people can say such things, but it is inappropriate for government officials, especially congressmen. If a public figure blatantly discriminates against blacks and makes remarks that discriminate against blacks, it will probably be miserable. Of course they wouldn't be so stupid, and they would definitely not say what they thought in their hearts.
But now, what's the matter? We must know that many congressmen also know that this black rebellion was supported by China. If Wang Guorui did not instruct the General Intelligence Agency to sow dissension, would the black people rise up to rebel? Originally, they were already very dissatisfied with the Chinese government, but now the Chinese legation sent an official letter to inquire again, which really provoked their rebellious psychology.
"Bastard, these Chinese people, their hands are too deep, right? We haven't settled the accounts of our hundreds of thousands of Americans with him, but they came over and extended their hands to us?" Some American congressmen were angry. road.
Last year, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, that "war" was defined as a military conflict, not a war. The British also hope to end in a military conflict, because the scale of a military conflict does not represent a war, and the British can save face. The British failed even in one military conflict. That's not too embarrassing. After all, even if it is as powerful as the United Kingdom, it may suffer some small losses in some "local" conflicts. Such a result can maintain the pride of the so-called British Empire. Military conflict and war are two completely different things. Losing the war is a shame. If it was just a defeat in a conflict, then the British would not be too ashamed. Conflicts are commonplace in military affairs.
So from a "theoretically" point of view, there was no so-called war between Wang Guorui and other countries, it was just a military conflict. Therefore, China and other countries have never declared war. The ministers of various countries have not been expelled, let alone "severed diplomatic relations" because of this. So the Chinese embassy in the United States directly came to change the flag, and it became the embassy of the new imperial court. Even in the early days, it was still a set of people, that is, Wang Guorui just changed a new envoy recently, and almost everyone else No change.
In the absence of a "war" outbreak, the Chinese envoy sent a letter to inquire, that is not impossible. But this angered the US Congressmen, because it made them very dissatisfied.
"Why do they inspect the internal affairs of our Americans?" "Yes! They have no right to meddle in our American internal affairs!" "Who do they think they are? Even the British Empire cannot interfere in our American internal affairs. So We can't listen to them!" …
Those American congressmen were angry. They were relatively calm at first, but they were very upset when they heard that China actually came to intervene with them, thinking that this was interfering in their internal affairs. So they started to get angry one after another, and the US congressmen were very angry, and the consequences were very serious. And they can't do anything to these Chinese people, so they naturally use the "dog legs" of the Chinese people to vent their anger. And the "doglegs" of these Chinese people are the so-called black people. But in the eyes of those white people, this time the black people and the Chinese are so close. Then of course they colluded. So in the case that they also discriminate against black people seriously, this situation is aggravated. Then they started to vent their anger on the blacks one after another, obviously because I have nothing to do with the Chinese, so can I still deal with these blacks?
"I agree. Remove all black public officials in our government!" "Yes, in order to avoid suspicion, these black public officials must be temporarily removed!" "Yes, we all agree."
These members of the US Congress have been looking at China unhappy under their hatred with China. Especially for those hundreds of thousands of Americans, many of them even have relatives and friends. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people. From all over the country, everyone may be related. Even if there are no relatives or friends among these people, but listening to the neighbors cursing China every day, who would have a good impression of China? Everyone, no matter how bad the relationship is, has more than a dozen friends? And a dozen relatives and friends are enough to influence more than ten times the number of people, so the family and friends of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in battle may not be less influential than those capitalists once they collectively influence. This time Wang Guorui wiped out more than 100,000 American soldiers, but if he opened the map gun again, he offended the entire United States.
Therefore, members of the US Congress have long been unhappy with China, but they do not have the strength to organize an expedition. However, China does not have the strength to cross the entire Pacific Ocean to fight a war of annihilation. Last year, the United States did not even think about destroying China, but just hoped to take advantage of it. But the war of destroying the country is different. What the war of destroying the country requires is not so simple, and the resistance encountered is not ordinary. So they knew that Wang Guorui would not make it through, so they naturally had nothing to fear. Now they just hope that by cleaning up these black people, let these Chinese people know how powerful they are!
"Pass, remove all people of African descent from government office!"
After a vote, everyone passed the bill, which means that the blacks in the U.S. government were revoked from public office, and then they were allowed to go home and sell sweet potatoes.
After those members of Congress came out, they immediately looked smug.
"This time, we must show some color to those Chinese and let them know that we are not so easy to mess with in the United States!" "Yes! We revoked all the public offices of those black people, so that they can know how powerful we are !" "We can't deal with the Chinese, can't we also deal with these black people?" "Yes, we just need to deal with them, and use these black people to tell the Chinese that we are not so hot."…
When President McKinley heard the news, he couldn't help covering his head with his hands. This time it was really troublesome. The dismissal of the positions of black people is tantamount to letting those black elites fall from the top of society again, and they are all those black elites! Which of those rulers didn't absorb the elite talents from the poor family, and then deliberately gave them hope, so that those elite talents from the poor family could see a little bit of hope, and then let them have a way to make progress? No matter how narrow the road is, it is still a road!
As long as people have hope, they will not go to extremes. Therefore, many ancient nobles also knew that it was necessary to absorb some bottom-level elites to enter the upper class, let those bottom-level elites see hope, and let them not choose violence to overthrow the government, and then take power by themselves.
During the Tang Dynasty, although Li Shimin vigorously continued the habits of the Sui Dynasty, he implemented the imperial examination system. Although many people agree with it, some smart people commented that the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty not only gave those low-level talents a little bit of hope, but also let them see the hope of becoming a high-class person. Even if there is only a little hope, they will not think that he will rebel through violent means, so as to maintain national security. And once those elites from poor families choose to obtain wealth through this relatively peaceful means instead of taking risks to obtain wealth, then they will definitely choose to compromise. Because the cost and risk of rebellion are too great, now there is a small road, although it is very narrow, but it is also a road!
Why do these parties in the United States appoint some blacks as government officials in accordance with certain traditions after they have gained power through elections? In fact, isn't it to give those black people some "hope" so that they will not rebel through these violent means? And absorbed the elites of those blacks~www.mtlnovel.com~ so that they will definitely make those elites please the whites, and then work hard to get official positions. But now if all blacks are eliminated from public office, then they will despair of it. What do they do when they are desperate? Once the elite talents among the blacks come together with the ordinary blacks, it will really be over.
Even Wang Guorui knows that it is necessary to divide the elite talents of those ethnic minorities in the country, and use various means to give those so-called second-class citizens, third-class meritorious citizens and fourth-class citizens the opportunity to improve, instead of completely blocking their way forward. And there are still many ways to make progress, this is also to divide the elite talents of those low-level citizens, so that they do not gain status through violent means.
But now this group of American congressmen has revoked the public office of those blacks, which means that the elites among the blacks will be completely disappointed, and then what will happen to them? No one can imagine this. In the past, black people could not achieve great things without some elite leaders. But once the elites among these black people become their leaders, their ability to explode in the end will be extremely huge. Never ignore the integration ability of a leader. An excellent leader can integrate the scattered blacks. Once integrated, the blacks will explode with infinite power!
"Now, the seeds of hatred have been planted, maybe a towering tree will burst out at some point!" McKinley smiled wryly. (to be continued.) c
