Chapter 822 Interests

Chinese and Indians.

The Indians actually need this apology more than the Chinese.

What was the worst and largest genocide in the world? Nazi's massacre of the Jews? No, it was the massacre of the Indians by white Europeans and Americans.

Since Columbus discovered the New World, Spain, Portugal, Britain, France and other Western European countries began to actively expand their colonies in the Americas, and Spain relied on the advantage of the invincible armada, almost the entire small half of North America and the entire Caribbean into its colonies, and at the same time carried out inhumane massacres of Indians in Central and South America.

With the decline of the Spanish Empire, the countries of Central and South America became independent one after another, and in 1776, the United States of America was founded, and in just a few decades, tens of millions of Indians were slaughtered.

The most outrageous thing is that until after the Civil War, the blacks were liberated, but the Indians were still living in the shadow of the slaughter.

Lincoln, who was widely praised by later generations, was responsible for the largest massacre of Indians in modern times.

In addition to direct slaughter, in order to completely exterminate the Indians, the U.S. government hunted and killed bison on a large scale.

In two decades, thanks to the efforts of the U.S. government, the number of bison has rapidly decreased from more than 10 million to less than 1,000.

You must know that the North American Indians are inseparable from the North American bison for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they eat beef, wear cowhides, and live in cowhide tents. Without bison, the Indians would have to survive on the so-called Indian reservations designated by the U.S. government, which were so barren that the Indians could not survive at all, and a large number of Indians died of starvation due to lack of food and shelter.

The number of North American Indians varies, but there are at least 10 million people, and by the end of the 19th century, under the encirclement and suppression of more than 1,000 military operations by the United States, the number of Indians in North America has been no more than 300,000, and it is on the verge of extinction.

In terms of misery, no race is more miserable than the Indians, who are the direct victims of the United States, and certainly have a reason to get an apology.

But the fact is that until the end of the nineties of the twentieth century, the U.S. government and Congress have never apologized a word for the plight of the Indians!

In this way, if it is just one of the two, the US Congress seems to have more reason to apologize to the Indians than the Chinese.

Zhang Chen threw out this topic, of course, not to make wedding dresses for others.

He had already calculated that the US Congress would rather apologize to the Chinese than to the Indians!

The United States can apologize to blacks, it can apologize to Chinese, but it will never apologize to Indians, and there is a reason for this.

On the one hand, the United States claims to be a human rights defender, and the massacre of Indians is an indelible stain and a crime against humanity, which is not at the same level as black slavery in terms of cruelty.

On the other hand, the issue of Indians is sensitive because of jurisprudence.

The massacre of Indians in the nineteenth century was unjustifiable.

In 1851, the United States signed the Treaty of Fort Laramie with the Indians, stipulating their rights and obligations, but after disarming the Indians, the Americans did not stop the massacre, but used various excuses to violate the treaty and slaughter the Indians who were already defenseless with greater efficiency.

This is not only illegal, but also unconstitutional!

Once an apology is made, in the most serious case, the legitimacy of the legal existence of the United States will be questioned, and this is the fundamental reason why the United States is deaf and dumb.

Of course, by '09, the U.S. Congress did make a vague apology bill for the massacre of Indians in the United States. In this bill, the U.S. Congress, fearing that Indians would apply for compensation from the U.S. government under this bill, specifically stated that Indians could not claim compensation under this bill.

It was such a weak-hearted and insincere apology bill, which was not reported by any mainstream media, and the average American did not know about it.

Shameless.

However, this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Chen at present, he has always believed in how much ability he has to do great things, and put himself before others, regardless of whether the US Congress apologizes to the Indians or not, he apologizes to the Chinese first.

Sure enough, there was almost no suspense about this either-or, and Xiao Bushi immediately agreed that if he raised more than $5.5 million in campaign funds from PayPal, he would persuade Congress to introduce a bill to formally apologize for the Chinese exclusion bill introduced a hundred years ago.

Zhang Chen had a meeting the next day, and since he had already gotten what he wanted, he and Tang Miaomiao got up to say goodbye and returned to the Bay Area by helicopter.

"Do you really think this little Bushi has a chance to become president in the next general election? How do I think he is a little stupid?" Tang Miaomiao took off her makeup in front of the washstand while chatting with Zhang Chen, "At the Yale dinner last month, we also met Crichton, compared to Crichton, he is too much worse, right?"

Zhang Chen did one-handed push-ups on the ground with only three fingers behind his back, did six or seven, and when he heard Tang Miaomiao's question, he bounced up from the ground and took two breaths, "Fools have foolish fortunes, and the strength of ability is not important for the presidential campaign, at least not the most important condition." Compared with Gore, I think Xiao Bushi still has an advantage. ”

Tang Miaomiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Why do I think Gore has a better chance of winning than him?"

Zhang Chen nodded with a smile and said, "From now on, this is indeed the case, but since you want to do this strange business, the income of burning cold stoves is definitely much more than chasing popularity." Last time at Yale's dinner, you also saw how many people circled around Gore, I saw that Crichton's face was green next to him, we don't need to join in this fun, the cost performance is too low. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Chen stretched out one hand to Tang Miaomiao's chest.

"Oh, don't make a fuss, you're sweaty, take a shower!" Tang Miaomiao opened Zhang Chen's Lushan Claw, and asked again: "You are doing so much to help him, just to make the US Congress apologize?"

Zhang Chen smiled but said nothing.

It is not only Tang Miaomiao who has this question, but also Rice.

Rice did not return to the Bay Area with Zhang Chen, but stayed in Sacramento and continued to discuss his candidacy with Boushi Jr.

"I found Zack's previous assessment of Zack inaccurate, I used to say that he was a pure businessman, but now, his maintenance of the dignity of the community really made me look at him, he is a wonderful young man. Rice leaned back on the couch in the hotel lobby and tilted her head to the little cloth.

Xiao Bushi blinked and showed a euphoric smile: "Liza, do you really think that he made this request for the sake of the dignity of the race?"

Condoleezza Rice was stunned: "Of course, he will not participate in any election, and there is no need to win over Chinese votes, which does not seem to have any personal interest for him." ”

Little Bushi laughed, "There is no personal interest, Liza, this is not like what you should say. ”

After that, a hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Bushi's eyes, but he still maintained a smile on his face: "The interests here are very big." ”
