Chapter 863: The Seeds of Hatred (Part II)

"Members of Congress, here is a letter of inquiry from the Chinese Legation, saying that we in the United States have always emphasized democracy and the equality of all ethnic groups. So they questioned whether it was legal for us to remove black people from government office? They deeply resented those black people, and they thought it would be illegal for us to remove black people from their positions. Therefore, they have deep doubts about whether we Americans can govern the country according to the law. So, they want to ask! ”

When the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the US Congress heard this, they immediately became furious. Originally, many of them were actually relatively calm, and as politicians, they were much calmer after all, more calm than ordinary people. It's not that they don't know that if black people were removed from government office at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable. Such a situation is very unfavorable to the so-called consistent habit of the United States to govern the country according to law and to the so-called equality of all nationalities.

Although everyone also discriminates against blacks, ordinary people can say this kind of thing, but as a government official, it is not appropriate to say so, especially parliamentarians. If a public figure openly discriminates against blacks and makes discriminatory remarks against blacks, it will probably be miserable. Of course they wouldn't be so stupid, and they wouldn't say anything they thought in their hearts.

But now, what's going on? You must know that many congressmen also know that this black rebellion was supported by China behind the scenes, if Wang Guorui had not instructed the General Intelligence Agency to sow discord, would the black people have risen up to rebel? Originally, they were already very dissatisfied with the Chinese government, but now the Chinese Legation has sent an official letter to inquire again, which has simply provoked their rebellious mentality.

"Bastards, these Chinese, their hands are too long, right? At that time, the accounts of our hundreds of thousands of American soldiers had not been settled with him, but they came and reached out to us? A U.S. congressman said angrily.

And last year's eight-nation coalition invaded China. That "war" was defined as a military conflict, not a war. The British also want to end with a military conflict, because the scale of the military conflict does not mean that the war will be lost, and the British can save face. Even if the British lose a military conflict, it is not too shameful, after all, even if they are as strong as Britain. In some "local" conflicts, there may also be some small losses, and such an outcome can preserve the pride of the so-called British Empire. Military conflicts and wars are completely different things, and if you lose a war, you lose face. If it was just a loss in the conflict, then the British would not be too ashamed, and the conflict was a common thing.

Therefore, "theoretically", Wang Guorui did not break out into a so-called war with other countries, but only a military conflict. Therefore, China has never declared war with other countries, and the ministers of various countries have not been expelled, let alone "severed diplomatic relations" because of this. So the Chinese Legation in the United States came directly to change the flag. It has become the legation of the new imperial court, and even in the early days, it was still a set of people, that is, Wang Guorui has recently changed a new minister, and almost no one else has changed.

In the absence of a "war", the Chinese minister sent a letter to inquire, and that was not impossible. However, this angered the US congressmen, because they were very dissatisfied.

"Why are they checking on the internal affairs of us Americans?" "Yes! They have no right to meddle in the internal affairs of our Americans! "Who do they think they are, not even the British Empire can meddle in the internal affairs of us Americans." So we can't listen to them! ”……

Those American congressmen were angry, but they were relatively calm. But when they heard that China had actually come to ask them, they thought that this was interfering in their internal affairs, which made them very unhappy. So they all started to get angry, and the American congressmen were angry, and the consequences were serious. And they can't help these Chinese, they naturally take the Chinese's "dog legs" to spread anger. And this gang of Chinese "dog legs". That's what black people call it. And in the eyes of those whites, this time the blacks and the Chinese are so close, then of course they have collusion. So this situation is even more aggravated by the fact that they are also seriously discriminating against blacks. Then they began to breathe anger at the blacks, apparently in the spirit of a kind of I can't do anything with the Chinese. Am I not going to be able to clean up these black people?

"I agree to remove all black public officials from our government!" "That's right, in order to avoid suspicion, these black public officials must be temporarily removed from their posts!" "Yes, we all agree."

These members of the US Congress, under their hatred of China and China, have been watching China unhappy. Especially the hundreds of thousands of Americans, and even many of them are relatives and friends. After all, there are more than 100,000 people, from all over the country, and everyone is likely to be related to each other. Even if there are no relatives or friends among these people, but every day they listen to the neighbors cursing China, who will have a good impression of China? Every person who has a bad relationship, no matter how bad the relationship, 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 fallen soldiers, once collectively influenced, may not be worse than those capitalists. This time, Wang Guorui annihilated more than 100,000 American soldiers, but if he fired the map cannon again, he offended the entire United States.

Therefore, the 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 destroy the country, and the United States did not think about destroying China last year, but only hoped to take advantage. However, the war of annihilation is different, and what is needed in the war of annihilation is not so simple, and the resistance encountered is not ordinarily large. So they knew that Wang Guorui would not be able to come, so they were naturally fearless. They now hope that by cleaning up this gang of blacks, these Chinese will know how powerful they are!

"Pass, remove all people of African descent from government office!"

After a vote, and then everyone passed the bill, which was kind of a pass to remove those black people in the U.S. government from public office, and then let them go home and sell sweet potatoes.

And when those congressmen came out, they immediately looked triumphant.

"This time, we must give those Chinese some colors to see, let them know that we America is not so easy to mess with!" "Yes! We're going to remove all those blacks from public office so they know we're awesome! "We can't clean up the Chinese, can't we clean up these blacks?" "That's right, it's to clean them up and use these blacks to tell the Chinese that we're not so hot." ……

When President McKinley heard the news, he couldn't help but put his hands on his head, this time it was really troublesome. The removal of the black man from his position is tantamount to making the elite of those black people fall from the upper echelons of society again, and they are all the elite talents of those black people! Which of those rulers didn't absorb the elite talents in the cold door, and then deliberately hung to give them hope, so that those elite people in the cold door could see a little hope, and then let them have a path forward? No matter how narrow this road is, it is still a road!

As long as people have hope, they will not go to extremes. Therefore, many ancient aristocrats also knew that it was necessary to absorb some low-level elites to enter the upper class, so that those low-level elites could see hope, so that they would not choose violent methods to overthrow the government and then take power themselves.

During the Tang Dynasty, although Li Shimin vigorously continued the habits of the Sui Dynasty and implemented the imperial examination system. Although many people agree, there are smart people who evaluate that the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty is not just a little hope for those low-level talents, so that they can see the hope of becoming upper-class people. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, then they will not think that he will rebel through violent means, so as to maintain national security. And once those elite talents in the poor family choose to obtain wealth through this relatively peaceful means, rather than taking risks to obtain wealth, then they will definitely choose to compromise. Because the cost of rebellion is too great, and the risk is 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, after they have won power in elections, appoint some blacks as government officials in accordance with certain traditions? In fact, isn't it to give those blacks some "hope" so that they don't rebel through these violent means? And absorb the elite of those blacks, so that they will surely be that those elites will curry favor with whites and then work hard to get official positions. But now when all black people are removed from public office, they will despair of it. What do they do when they are desperate? Once the elite of those blacks and ordinary blacks come together, it's really over.

Even Wang Guorui knows that it is necessary to divide the elite talents in those ethnic minorities in China, and give those so-called second-class citizens, third-class meritorious citizens, and fourth-class citizens the opportunity to be promoted through various means, instead of completely blocking their way to advancement, and there are still many ways to improve, 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 that these U.S. legislators have removed those black people from public office, that means that the elite of those black people will be completely disappointed, and then they are afraid of what will happen next? No one can imagine this. In the past, blacks didn't have some elite talent to lead, so they couldn't make great things. But once the elite of these blacks become their leaders, then their ability to burst out in the end will be incomparably great. Never ignore a leader's ability to integrate, an excellent leader can integrate a plate of scattered black people, once the integrated black people will burst out of infinite power!

"Now that the seeds of hatred have been planted, maybe a towering tree will erupt at some point!" McKinley smiled wryly. (To be continued.) )
