Alex somewhat understood why Chuck had become so crazy, completely different from what he usually was.
They are releasing the pressure and trying to vent the way guò smokes and drinks and plays with women. Life on tour is boring and boring, and it's so long that if you don't find something to distract you, you'll end up going crazy.
Alex is okay, his own physical and mental strength is stronger than ordinary people, and he can barely withstand this kind of physical and mental torture.
The next morning, after they had eaten, they had to go to the venue to rehearse. This kind of work is necessary, and sometimes it is not a problem if you don't rehearse it yourself. Usually some of the problems are equipment, and there is also the problem of personnel scheduling.
However, this time it seems to be a little unusual. As their car passed by the stadium, a group of people had gathered outside, and these people were holding signs protesting something. Alex just glanced at it, not seeing who it was or what he wanted to do.
After a while, the manager of the gymnasium came over, and he found the person in charge of the touring team to report some information. After a while, Chuck and Little Richard are called out, as if to ask some personal question.
Alex didn't take such a small thing to heart. He thought it was because some white people were not used to black singers that some people would come to the band to protest. When they performed elsewhere, they had similar problems, and eventually they didn't do it.
"What? Someone is going to arrest Chuck and Little Richard on charges of adultery? ”
When Alex heard the news, he thought it was incredible. He looked at Chuck and Richard, who looked indifferent, and asked, "Did you do something angry?" How can so many people come running and demand to hand you over? ”
Chuck scratched his head and said, "Maybe, who knows." ”
Little Richard shrugged his shoulders and explained, "It may be that some of the girls we played with ended up getting married, and then their husbands showed up, and then they ......."
"Don't you let go of those who get married and get married?" Alex was taken aback, he didn't expect these guys to be hungry for food.
Chuck smiled and said, "I said before, don't get anyone over the age of 2o involved." Who knew that little Richard had such strange tastes and liked mature women. He said that the little girl was not sensible and that it was too troublesome to teach......"
"Hey! Aren't you on it too? Looks like you'll have fun with all the girls after they come! ”
Alex didn't want to listen to their nonsense here, and he interrupted the two guys' argument: "What do you say about how to solve it!" Everyone came up to the door. ”
"What else can we do, they don't have evidence, what can they do with us?"
"yes, do you want to hand me over and Chuck both? Oh yes, and Buddy. Why didn't they mention Buddy? It's weird. ”
At this time, the person in charge of the gymnasium said softly beside him: "I know the person who is in the lead, it is a guy named Forrester. He seems to be a Ku Klux Klan, and from this point of view, it is understandable that they are specifically looking for trouble with you. ”
"3, 3Klan party?"
After hearing the name, Chuck and Little Richard's faces turned white with fright. As black people, they have heard adults say how evil and terrifying the Ku Klux Klan is since they were young, and this name can simply make black people tremble after hearing it.
The Ku Klux Klan is the oldest and largest white supremacist racist organization in the United States. It has a history of more than 100 years, and at its peak, it had as many as 5oo members.
It has been banned by the U.S. government several times, but has often been able to regain legal status. Especially now that the United States has not experienced a movement against racism, the Ku Klux Klan is still thriving. In 1871, President Grant ordered the dissolution of all Ku Klux Klan parties in the South. In 1915, Colonel Simmons of Georgia reinstated the Ku Klux Klux Klan.
After World War I, the Ku Klux Klan was unprecedented, and in 1924 the Ku Klux Klan had 5oo members, including many politicians. Truman paid $1o to join the Ku Klux Klan, but at a meeting, Ku Klux Klan officials demanded that Truman stop hiring any Catholic officials if he was re-elected as a county judge.
Truman refused this request because many of his comrades-in-arms were Catholics. In the end, he was forced to quit the organization and was refunded his membership fee.
During World War II, the Ku Klux Klan announced its dissolution. In April 1944, the event was resumed publicly. After World War II, the Ku Klux Klan took aim at **, progressives, and the black masses, and regarded Catholicism as a "forgivable object" and no longer objected to it.
Since then, the Ku Klux Klan has gradually gained legal status in California and Florida, and has been active in 18 other states. Affiliates of the Ku Klux Klan include the Columbion Society in Georgia, the Ku Klux Klan Knights and Women in New York, and the United Sons of America.
For blacks in this era, entering the sights of the 3 Klan Party is equivalent to being targeted by death. Chuck and little Richard weren't afraid, they didn't want to be dragged out of the house one night and tied to the cross and burned alive.
"What then? What are we going to do? Do you want to stop touring right away? ”
"Or simply hire more bodyguards and don't give them a chance."
Chuck and Little Richard were really panicked, and even had the idea of turning around and running away immediately. There is no shame in this choice, and in the face of the threat of terrorist groups, individual power is small. Someone who knows that there is an abyss in front of him and keeps rushing forward is a fool, not a hero with courage.
Alex didn't know what to do, he didn't want to put his own people in danger, but he thought Chuck was making a big fuss.
In the end, it was the person in charge of their tour team who slapped the board: "Even if you run away now, it won't help, the 3 Klux Klan really wants to kill people, and no one can stop it." I think I can only send someone to negotiate with them, and maybe there is some way to appease their feelings. Also, don't look for a woman during this time, settle down. ”
Chuck and Little Richard nodded yes, and they made up their minds that they would not have any unobstructed conventions until they left Atlanta.
"What about ......security," Alex asked.
"I'll send a few more people to protect you. Don't worry, there are so many bodyguards, they won't break in. The Ku Klux Klan people like to do sneak attacks, and as long as they don't give them a chance, nothing will happen. ”
After hearing what the person in charge said, Chuck and the others were a little relieved. Indeed, every time the Ku Klux Klan Party makes trouble, it is strong and weak. For them with bodyguards, there is still security.
At this night's concert, Chuck and his performance were a little abnormal, and he couldn't play at the same level, but overall it was successful. Amid the cheers of the audience, they carried out the performance to the end. Fortunately, there were no accidents, and there were no Ku Klux Klan riots.
The news from the person in charge is that his people are negotiating with the Ku Klux Klan, saying that the other party wants to ask for compensation. It's just that the other party is offering a price all over the sky, and now they are negotiating the price little by little.
Hearing such news, Chuck and Little Richard were finally completely relieved, and they thought that maybe the Ku Klux Klan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail, so they would use the topic to wave. As for adultery or something, who knows who those women's husbands are, do they have to ask each other's husbands if they are 3KKs gangsters?
"I'll do it! These guys are so poor and crazy that they blackmail us like this! ”
Chuck was a little indignant, he felt innocent and hurt. I want to find a place to vent, but unfortunately, no one has arranged for a woman to come over tonight, they don't have to think about finding a woman, now is a sensitive time.
looked at the bodyguards in front of them and behind them, even if they wanted to find women, it was impossible to bring so many people. It's really nothing like this, and I don't feel it.
"Why don't you go to a bar!" Little Richard said.
"Okay, I have a few bottles of red wine hidden there, you can drink them too." Chuck replied with gusto.
The two good brothers returned to their place of residence with their shoulders hooked up in this way, ready to get drunk and rest, but the province was always frightened and couldn't even sleep well. Fortunately, in the next few days, it was safe and sound, and there were no accidents. Gradually, they relaxed.
For Forrester, these past few days have been like hell. He felt like he was about to blow up, and Jenny came back, packed up her things, and left.
"You can live with your comrades! I'm not going back to this home again! ”
"Yes, you're right! I'm in a relationship with a, what can you do with me? Are you going to kill me? Come on, come on! ”
"To hell with it, Forrester! I hate you, I hate all of you! ”
"Bang!" The door was closed, and Jenny would never return.
Such a result, he did not unexpected. It's just that there is a cloud of anger in my heart, and I don't know who it burns to. It's my fault, Jenny's fault, but it's the who are the most wrong. If they hadn't seduced Jenny, she wouldn't have run away from home.
"Yes, it's the who are wrong! Not us! ”
Forrester finds his own organization and speaks out his bitterness and resentment. After listening to this, the party leader asked him: "Then what do you want?" ”
"I want revenge! I want them dead! I will wash away my shame with their blood! ”
"You'll get it! You'll get it! ”
The party leader patted Forrester on the shoulder, and then said to the people next to him: "We can act now, the negotiations have dragged on for too long, and there is no way to continue to be paralyzed." I guess they're almost coming to their senses. ”
"Well, we've figured out where those two lived, and what they did every night."
"How sure are you?"
"I guess there's an eighty percent chance of getting them out."
"Well, that's already fine."
"So tonight?"
"Act tonight, remember to be quiet and fast! We have to settle this matter before they react and give Forrester an explanation. ”
