One hundred and forty-two Chinese exclusion trend

Ben's affair really caused a big stir. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info: Before dark that day, the army sent a company of troops to rush into the barley field to capture Ben and the others. During the whole process, the Chinese were very calm and cooperative because they had been mentally prepared, but the soldiers' attitude towards the Chinese was extremely rude, not only took Ben, Shaw, Wood and Boena, but also rushed into the house in the name of searching for fugitives and checking guns, wounded and arrested some people with butts and fists, and Qiao Song was also arrested. In the words of the big eye, these soldiers are here to find trouble, and if it weren't for the Chinese who didn't resist, maybe they would have used their guns.

In fact, I don't need to talk about these things, I know it, because there are TV reporters who followed the whole process and broadcast it live on TV. The mayor then came forward to say that justice had been done. It is very strange that in the whole speech he only mentioned "justice", and did not mention anything about the law.

After the mayor finished speaking, the reporters randomly interviewed the citizens, and of course the citizens reacted hotly, all condemning the racial discrimination of the Chinese, and even the argument of "killing all the Chinese" appeared repeatedly.

As a result, although it was during the curfew, there were many incidents of Asian Americans being robbed and beaten. Many Asians were stoned, broken windows, and even robbed by their neighbors. And the police and the military have turned a blind eye to this, and Asians have nowhere to excuse themselves. The TV station also turned a blind eye to this, and still happily guided public opinion against Asian Americans, as if the riots were completely provoked by Chinese Americans. Under this trend, even Qiao Song and his family were ill-treated in the detention center, so much so that when lawyer Xie released them on bail, Qiao Song went directly to the dental clinic because he had two teeth knocked out by the police.

Seeing this made me very upset. However, I did not expect that the formation of the entire anti-Chinese trend played a role in helping the establishment of the security company. The reality makes the Chinese see that the police can't count on it at all, so they can only protect themselves, and many people who couldn't make up their minds now have to join the hope of the security cooperation organization to keep warm. Uncle Biao is now bent on dealing with the police because of Ben's troubles, so the matter of the Security Cooperation Organization is now Billy. Hu is manipulating. By the end of January, he had more than 800 members signing up. Most of these members have families, so there are more than 1,000 men over the age of 14 in the association.

Big Eyes stayed in the barley field in order to strike while the iron was hot, and organized the men into three corps according to their living quarters, consisting of Bill, Marley, and Billy. Hu served as the captain. Squadron Leaders and Platoon Leaders below the General Captain are elected by the members of the association.

Because the military and police keep a close eye on the Chinese community, often conducting surprise inspections without any reason, firearms training is not possible. Big eyes should first engage in some martial arts, defense and other drills, anyway, let these members feel a little different from participating in the organization. In addition, I arranged for Garland to contact Harrison, one of his colleagues who was primarily responsible for security in the military, to go to Barley Fields and plan the construction of security facilities with the construction industry members of the mutual aid group.

I estimate that if there is a general anti-Chinese trend in the aftermath of the riots, it will inevitably lead to the concentration of Chinese in several communities. I hope to make Barley Field a model for all Chinese communities to adopt this security model. The application for a security company was also submitted, but under this limelight, the shareholders of the security company wrote Wild Boar, Garland and others, and Big Eyes and I could only be at the end.

On February 2, Lavona's ethnic Chinese finally erupted under the weight of tensions, sending representatives to the mayor to submit a letter of protest and announcing the hiring of a team of lawyers to defend Ben and others. Strangely, neither the TV nor the newspapers reported on it. Out of concern for Ben, I called to inquire about Lawyer Xie's case.

Lawyer Xie wrote in a difficult book on the phone: "I think these four children are very smart, and the police have failed to catch them. Because they keep claiming that they learn from those American heroes and say nothing else, it is a headache for both the police and the prosecution lawyers. Ben, in particular, doesn't often describe his motives, citing a bunch of American role models or positive characters from movies to prove how right his actions were. The prosecution lawyers and the police do not dare to challenge the role models of the United States, you don't see the face of the prosecution lawyer, you should really see for yourself, it's wonderful. ”

He laughed a few times and said, "I think it's another Robert!" Clear-headed, too good at exploiting loopholes. No wonder Robert is so interested in him, it is estimated that he sees his own shadow in this child. ”

I asked optimistically, "So there is hope for a lighter sentence for these children?" ”

Lawyer Xie immediately rejected my view: "You think so simply. You haven't seen it yet? When the United States is in trouble, it always has to find someone to blame. But now China's politicians are too strong to provoke, and if Russia is provoked, it may be a nuclear war. Why did this case get the attention of the entire United States so quickly? I suspect that someone will use the power of the state to put the blame on these four children and label all Chinese Americans. ”

At this point he raised his voice visibly, and I could hear his anger in it. "And you didn't notice the election? The Democratic and Republican parties put forward candidates, one is black and the other is Latino! They will not offend blacks and Latinos for the sake of the basic plate of votes, and of course they dare not offend whites. The Chinese will be their target, and both parties will be tougher against the Chinese! Do you think there is a possibility of a fair trial in this case? ”

I asked, "What then?" ”

Lawyer Xie said, "It's okay. Thankfully, the four children are not leaking, and the best case scenario is to be able to drag it out for a long time until the election is over. At the same time, let me tell you, I'm ready to emigrate, and it's no longer suitable for Chinese Americans. ”

I asked, "Which country are you going to immigrate to?" ”

His tone was gloomy: "No decision yet." It may not be clear to you that no country other than the United States needs so many lawyers. ”

Those who have a little ability have run away. I'm helpless, I had a chance to escape from here, but now I'm stuck here and scared.

The thought made me feel bad and left me wandering around the base headlessly. But when I saw the families of the workers enjoying a peaceful time, and the children laughing and running in the warm sun, my mood gradually improved. It is also worth it for my presence to be able to protect some people from fear.

King George greeted me happily when he saw me coming over, "James, come and see our clinic." I've inquired about what you've asked me to inquire about. ”

King George made the black Martin expand the infirmary and turned it into a clinic, and now he is waiting for a batch of equipment to open it. So he has already started to send out invitations to wealthy customers, hoping to get their support. Most of his old patrons were gangsters, and I asked him to inquire about it because I didn't know who Battista was who gathered the crowd to attack the barley fields.

When I walked in, Dr. Wang said, "You don't have to worry about that Batista. He was killed. Just as he sent most of his men out to attack a Chinese community, other gangs took advantage of the situation and did him. Now that his territory has been swallowed up by other gangs, everything about him has vanished. ”

No wonder Batista's people suddenly withdrew, it turned out to be a fire in the backyard. Now that Batista is dead, there is no more trouble, and my mood suddenly improves.

But King George went on to say, "But we're going to have to guard against Popeye Simpson." It is said that he has been asking for news from me. ”

Simpson lost a lot of his men because of Dr. Wang, and it would be strange for Simpson not to inquire about Dr. Wang's whereabouts. However, Dr. Wang is in the base, and if Simpson dares to make trouble, he will not be far from being destroyed, and I am not worried about this at all.

While I was touring his clinic with Dr. Wang, the walkie-talkie rang: "Crow, please go back to Base 1 immediately, please go back to Base 1 immediately." ”
