If this matter had been left before the Japanese invasion, it would not have been a big deal. It's just a few dozen cabbages, which are not worth a few silver oceans. Today, however, this is different. All the farmland villages around Shanghai Tang and the output of cultivation are basically controlled by the Japanese. If you don't have the consent of the Japanese, let alone get dozens of cabbages, even one will have to take a big risk. Where do these cabbages come from? Absolutely suspicious!

After this information was reported, Nanzo Yunzi was also shocked, and after checking the income and expenditure of various logistics departments in Japan, he found that no transport ship had ever lost these dozens of cabbages for no reason, and all the income and expenditure were normal. And the only one that can't be on the right list is the Daimyo Pill that has exploded in the Shen River!

The Japanese are not stupid, so they naturally know that this matter is not right. There are always coincidences in the world for a reason, and these dozens of cabbages that appear in the Huangpu River can at least prove that some accidents have happened on the Daimyo Pill that they are not aware of.

As a result, a group of Japanese elites were mobilized. After carefully simulating the transportation process of the Daimyo Maru, the Japanese were keenly aware that the boxes used to carry vegetable supplies were also a little too large. And these dozens of cabbages are exactly the size of an adult man. If this adult man was hiding in a pile of cabbage, no one would have found out. After all, the materials are already counted before they are delivered, and because the person responsible is clear, they will not be carefully counted before they are transported to the ship. As long as the number of boxes and the items in the boxes appear to be generally normal, no one will suspect them.

According to the speed and direction of the river's flow, these dozens of cabbages were thrown into the river about ten hours before the Daimyo Pill exploded. In other words, this adult man was mixed into the box at this time.

The only thing that makes the Japanese wonder is that there are hundreds of catties of cabbage in this big box. In the process of handling, it is inevitable that when the center of gravity is biased to one side, how did the man who mixed into the box withstand the squeeze of hundreds of catties of cabbage?

After the intelligence analysis was handed in, the Japanese did not announce it, but still insisted on the original punishment, and determined that the explosion of the Daimyo Maru was an accident caused by an operational error. It's not that the Japanese can't face reality, but once it is announced, the Chinese will also know that there is such a national hero who is equally skilled and resourceful, and has good intelligence. Once the Chinese became interested and adored in this person. Aren't all the things that the Japanese have done to buy people's hearts in vain?

But, secretly, the order has already been given. The Japanese Army will send a few experts to Shanghai, find this bold Chinese, and kill them on the spot!

*******

Since traveling to this era, the rest of his life has always thought that he is actually very low-key, but there are some things that really make him low-key.

In 1943, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed. Repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, which had been in force since 1882. After Roosevelt's proposal, the U.S. Congress and the general public began to discuss it on a large scale. In this era, Chinese are still a minority in the United States. Moreover, because of the traditional posture of the Chinese who tolerate not to fight. Few people pay attention to the rights and interests of the Chinese.

At this time, although he has not been in the United States for a long time, he is actually the most famous Chinese in the United States. So, when Americans start a discussion about the rights and interests of Chinese people in the United States. The rest of your life is the first thing people talk about after dinner.

In fact, it was the first time for a Chinese to set foot in the United States as a laborer. Until the Americans began to discuss whether to repeal the "Chinese Exclusion Act", the time interval was nearly 100 years.

Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the former Qing Dynasty was highly evaluated in later generations. Historians also think it is very significant. However, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom swept through South China, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army was full of corpses everywhere it went. Although most of the people who died were wealthy families or Qing soldiers, the natural economic system of the former Qing Dynasty was extremely fragile, and too many people did not own land, and relied on working for landlords in exchange for money and food to support their families.

After these rich families were exterminated by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in various names, they inadvertently always implicated some innocent poor people and lost their source of livelihood. In the midst of war, many people have lost not only their livelihood, but also their lives.

However, at the same time, the Great Powers had opened the door to China, found that the Chinese labor was cheap, and began to trick the Chinese to go abroad to work. At this time, the best choice for Chinese people to go overseas is the United States. The gold rush in California, which began in 1848, not only attracted a large number of Americans to take risks in an attempt to get rich overnight. In addition, it has attracted a large number of migrant workers.

Moreover, at this time, the Americans had already begun to plan the construction of a transcontinental railway artery. This kind of low-paying and tiring job no one likes to do. Except for some low-level people in the United States who have difficulty even eating, and have to do this job as a last resort, the vast majority of the labor force is Chinese. For the Chinese, although they left their homeland, they managed to escape the war and have a bite to eat. Although the environment is harsh and the work is hard, it is no worse than in a country where wars are frequent and you can lose your life if you are not careful.

However, the hard work of the Chinese was not valued by the Americans of that era. After the gold rush in California ebbed and the abundant surface gold was exhausted, the Chinese who came to work in California were no longer seen by Americans as cheap and beneficial labor. Tolerance, low pay, and hardship became their original sin, and many groups of American nativists began to claim that California's gold was American's.

Subsequently, the Chinese were forcibly expelled by the Americans and moved into the city. The Chinese forcibly moved into the city, due to their low level of education and rejection by the Americans, were forced to work in some low-paying jobs. Moreover, these Chinese do not enjoy the right to public facilities such as schools and hospitals. But even so, Chinese laborers are seen by some Americans as the root cause of white unemployment because of their cheapness and hard work.

In this case, the Chinese do not even have a way to speak out. In 1878, the U.S. Congress decided to enact and pass the Chinese Exclusion Act. But it was rejected by President Hayes. In 1881, the U.S. state of California declared March 6 a holiday to celebrate a large-scale parade in support of the Chinese Exclusion Act.

In 1882, the U.S. Congress accepted Republican Senator John Brown. Miller submitted the Chinese Exclusion Act and debated it.

Advocates of Chinese exclusion believe that Chinese people have many vices and prejudices, and it is impossible for them to Americanize their lives, let alone accept the ethical and moral standards of the United States based on Christianity. And there is a massive influx of Chinese laborers. This has led to tension with American workers competing for jobs.

Opponents of Chinese exclusion argue that Chinese exclusion violates the free immigration policy in the Sino-US Treaty of Anson and the founding principle of "freedom and equality" of the Republic of America.

In the end, the founding principles of the United States are not worth the jobs of Americans. On 6 May 1882, the US Congress passed the first bill in the history of the United States to restrict immigration, the "Act on the Enforcement of the Provisions of the Treaty Concerning the Chinese." That is, the American Chinese Exclusion Act, which was criticized by all Chinese in later generations.

The bill prohibits Chinese laborers employed as miners from entering the United States for 10 years or faces imprisonment or deportation. A small number of non-working Chinese who want to immigrate to the United States must obtain a permit from the Chinese government. In addition, any Chinese who leaves the United States and wants to re-enter the United States must obtain a permit.

Most intolerably, the bill deprives Chinese immigrants of their U.S. citizenship rights. Chinese are not allowed to buy land in the United States, will not be accepted by social groups, and are not allowed to naturalize. There is no right to vote. As a result, the Chinese were permanently isolated in the United States.

In 1892, the Chinese Exclusion Act was extended by the Giri Act for ten years. However, at this time, the Qing court was powerless to take care of it at all. Nor can they afford to take retaliatory measures, so they can only let it develop.

It was not until 1904 that the US Congress passed a bill to extend all Chinese Exclusion Bills indefinitely, angering all Chinese. In 1905, the boycott of American goods broke out, causing Americans to suffer certain losses. It forced the U.S. government to order a relaxation of entry restrictions for teachers, students, businessmen and tourists.

Americans' wariness of the Chinese seems to have existed since Chinese workers entered the United States. It continues to be the afterlife. This vigilance is so strong that even later generations of Chinese people cannot understand it. After all, in the era when the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in the United States. It is the most powerless era in the thousands of years of Chinese history. It is simply impossible to threaten the Americans with anything.

The only thing that can have some impact is that the wages of Chinese workers are too low. Compared with those who don't like to work but want to get a high salary, the high-quality and low-cost labor of the Chinese is of course the first choice of capital. So, even at the same time that some Americans reject the Chinese. There are also many Chinese who have been blessed by American bosses and have been able to survive.

And this is the way for the Chinese to survive. As stated in the Tao Te Ching. There is nothing softer in the world than water, and the strong can win! For these entrepreneurs, exclusion is illusory, but benefits are tangible and tangible.

Perhaps, it is the strong adaptability of the Chinese to the surrounding environment that makes people feel threatened and feared. Later historians have also analyzed that if the United States had not passed the Chinese Exclusion Act that year. Then, with the adaptability of Chinese, perhaps when the second generation immigrates, these Chinese can perfectly integrate into American society and have children.

Without the Chinese Exclusion Act, the number of Chinese entering the United States would be hundreds of times greater than after the ban. Emigrate and integrate at this rate. In the 21st century, perhaps the Chinese and Americans with Chinese blood will reach more than one-third of the total population of the United States! Perhaps, in a century or two, there will be no need for war, and American society will become a Chinese-dominated society......

Of course, immorality is immorality, and no excuse will be justified. Americans actually know very well what their founding spirit is, and they also know what they do, right. After the passage of time, the Americans found that the Chinese did not seem to rise as quickly as they expected, on the contrary, in the toss of Lao Chiang, the national strength deteriorated, and even Little Japan could not fight, so they relaxed their vigilance.

After the passage of a new immigration law in 1930 to restrict the entry of Chinese, there was no longer much provocation to Chinese.

After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the Americans carried out corresponding retaliatory actions, as shown in the later movie "Pearl Harbor", and bombed the Japanese mainland. The plane landed in China. And the rest of his life at this time, as a Chinese, gave Americans a real documentary and a bunch of delicacies that made Americans drool. The Americans suddenly discovered that China was a very important ally in the war with the Japanese.

After all, the Chinese involved the vast majority of the Japanese forces. Moreover, the Chinese do not seem to be as bad as they think. After "The Sound of Music" swept the United States and conquered the hearts of most children and parents, many Americans' wariness of the Chinese was also greatly weakened. For many Americans, most of the Chinese vices are hearsay, but the image of the Chinese is really visible in the movies. It is self-evident which one to believe.

And under this trend, Yu Sheng naturally has to take the initiative to stand up and say to the public media: "Of course I don't like the Chinese Exclusion Act." Of course, Mr. Roosevelt's proposal has proved that the United States is a country that dares to admit its mistakes. So, I am very confident in the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act. ”

Yu Sheng felt that such an assessment was quite pertinent for Americans. In later generations, it was compared to the Asian countries that the Japanese did not intend to apologize to the invasion in World War II.

In 1988, the U.S. government apologized for incarcerating Japanese Americans in concentration camps during World War II and paid $20,000 in compensation to each of them. In 1993, Clinton apologized to the Hawaiian natives for sending troops to support the overthrow of the Native Hawaiian dynasty. In 2006, the U.S. government apologized to African Americans for its former slavery. In 2010, the U.S. government again apologized for the unfair treatment of the Indians.

On June 23, 2009, the California House of Representatives Judiciary Committee passed an important proposal, number ACR42. The content of the proposal is to urge the California government to solemnly apologize for the Chinese exclusion bill that has historically discriminated against Chinese in the United States.

On June 18, 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives voted unanimously to formally apologize in the form of legislation for the Chinese Exclusion Act passed in 1882.

Although, the apology is not very sincere. The motion passed was voted on by secret ballot, and the original English word was "regret" instead of "apology", but compared with the comparison of the various comprehensive strengths of China and the United States, a superpower can say sorry to a developing country, and it is really a bit open-minded.
