Chapter 784: Turmoil in the United States
Ferguson, County St. Louis.
"Military struggle against the government! We should withdraw our troops from Iraq and Iran! ”
"Protesting against the serious inflation in the country, the Bush administration will do nothing but go to war!"
"The Bush administration is out of office immediately! End the state of war in the country! ”
"The terrorist attack was a deliberate exaggeration by the Bush administration! Our taxpayers' money shouldn't be spent on war! ”
"Protest against the new tax bill! Protest against the high taxes that even toilet paper is charged! ”
The marching crowds grew and along the main streets of the city, holding signs and shouting slogans.
Recently, the Americans have felt that they really can't get by, mainly because the United States has imposed all-round economic sanctions on China and imposed high punitive tariffs on all Chinese goods.
Originally, the manufacturing industry in the United States, due to the high cost of labor, led to the high price of domestic products, low-priced goods from all over the world, to give Americans the opportunity to enjoy, especially the products from China, good quality and low price, whether it is clothing, department stores, or food, the price is very low, the quality is good, many Americans are very fond of using madeinchina goods.
But now, the high tariffs imposed by the United States on China have made it impossible for Chinese goods to enter the American market, and even if they have entered the American market, the prices are already very high, and Americans simply cannot afford to consume them.
Then you can only consume the daily necessities produced in the United States, supply and demand will determine the price of goods, and it is very correct in a capitalist country like the United States, with the increase in the price of Chinese goods, the price of various goods in the United States has also risen, including all kinds of fast food in the United States, etc., the price has increased a lot.
In contrast, the wages earned by Americans. However, it is declining, because Bush Sr.'s policy is tilted toward the military, while the military industry is at full speed, other aspects are shrinking, especially in the United States, a high-welfare society, and some welfare programs have also been cut by Bush Sr.
And at the same time. The U.S. fiscal deficit is already astronomical, and in order to increase the U.S. treasury revenue, the U.S. government has chosen to raise taxes, raise consumption taxes, and add more tax items.
For example, in the United States, sanitary napkins are taxed because the U.S. government considers sanitary napkins not a necessity to these taxes. Let the U.S. government earn a lot of money, you know, every woman, a few days a month, needs this kind of thing.
And now, it's not just sanitary napkins, but even toilet paper is taxed! In the United States, smart toilets are not yet popular, and toilet paper is also a necessity for Americans! If these things are taxed. Then the cost of living for Americans is even higher.
This recent series of events. Finally the Americans were outraged, and they took to the streets and began to make demonstrations.
In the beginning, the parade was carried out in an orderly manner, and the police were right next to the street, watching it all with their hands behind their backs.
"We needed bread and ham! We need groceries! "In the midst of a demonstration by the crowd. As he approached a store, a black man shouted loudly, and at the same time, a large rock was thrown.
"Wow." As the big stone passed, the glass door shattered. The black man rushed in in stride.
Almost instantly, the black man rushed outside, holding a box of ham sausages and a bag of chicken drumsticks in his hand, and inside, two clerks chased him out.
Seeing this black man burrowing into the crowd, he quickly disappeared, and the rest of the black people were ready to move.
"Let's go, there's nothing to eat anyway, let's go in and get some!" Another black man shouted.
Although the United States advocates freedom and democracy, and advocates equality for all, this is not the case in the United States, there are almost no blacks at the top of the United States, and almost all white-collar workers are white, and blacks are only worthy of doing some manual work in the United States, earning the least salary, and suffering from discrimination.
And now, blacks are at the bottom of society, and they are the first to have enough to eat, and under the American welfare system, Americans almost have no savings.
And in Ferguson, a city with a predominantly black population, violent policing cases emerge one after another, and most of the crimes are black. It's just that usually they only operate at night, and now, in broad daylight, they are openly robbing, and this is really the first time.
However, in the face of immediate interests, no black people will choose to turn a blind eye, they rushed forward one after another, and the two white clerks who chased them out were instantly swept away by the flow of people, and countless black people poured into this store, taking things when they saw them.
"Bang!" Gunshots rang out, guns are legally owned in the United States, and the owner of this store, seeing that his store was being robbed, immediately took out an M1911 pistol and fired a shot into the sky.
"Stop, whoever robs it again, I'm going to kill someone!" The store manager said.
"Kill him!" Several of the nearest black men had already pounced, their fists like hammers, and they smashed into each other's heads, and the store manager was knocked to the ground without firing a second shot, and the gun did not know where it was thrown.
The blacks who grabbed the things were elated, and the eyes that didn't grab them were red, but fortunately, there were still many shops in the whole city!
In this way, the blacks cheered and began to rush the shops, and the procession that had been marching was completely chaotic. Some of the initiators of the march, urban white-collar workers, looked at all this and could not believe their eyes.
The sirens sounded, and the police, realizing that the situation was not good, picked up their batons, drew their pistols, and prepared to deal with the riot, but unfortunately, among so many black people, the power of the police was too small.
The whole city soon became in turmoil.
After turning a few street corners, the black man who was the first to rob walked to a house with ham sausages and chicken legs on his shoulders.
"Sir, I have done as you commanded." The black man looked at the man with his back to him in the dilapidated room.
This is a slum in the city, with chaotic law and order, and many smugglers are hiding here.
The black man didn't care who the person in front of him was, he only knew that he would be rewarded with a thousand dollars if he completed this today.
"Yes, yes." The man said, "This thousand dollars is yours." ”
With that, the man's hand stretched out, holding ten hundred-dollar bills.
"Thank you, sir." As he spoke, the black man stepped forward and took the bills from the other's hands.
As soon as he turned to leave, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the sunlight that came in through the tattered cracks in the roof was reflected on a sharp dagger, and then the black man felt a heat in his throat, and a stream of blood gushed out.
The dollars, suddenly stained red with blood, the black man's hand covered the trachea of his throat, panting heavily, but unfortunately, he still couldn't breathe, and there was a violent cough in his lungs, and he knew that he was going to die soon.
"I'm sorry, but you have to die for the sake of secrecy." As he spoke, the man stood up, shook off his clothes, and walked outside.
Americans, I don't know, right? The terrorist attacks in the United States were just the beginning! And now, it's the real blow! Let the United States be completely in turmoil!
Americans, I don't know, right? To be my jackal Carlos, that's what happened! You killed my daughter, and I want your country to be completely in turmoil!
The same scene is playing out in major cities in the United States. At first, it was just a demonstration of peace, but in the end, there were looting, and even worse, arson and shooting.
For a country like the United States, which allows private gun ownership, there are too many avenues for criminals to get their hands on guns.
In the end, even whites joined in, after all, many whites are not having a good time, although they are all white, there are elites, there are downtrodden, and the economic situation in the United States has deteriorated to the point where people are desperate.
This was the case, and when the intelligence came to the FBI, they realized that something was wrong and immediately reported it to the president, who broke in even though the president was in a meeting.
"In short, the situation is very bad, and many cities are now in a state of chaos, shopping malls have been looted, supermarkets have been smashed, and many wealthy areas have also been affected." "Our police force is no longer able to control the situation," Robust said. ”
"President Bush, come out!" Just then, shouts were heard outside.
"We don't want war, we want bread!"
"The Middle East has nothing to do with us, and we should not drain our blood for the Middle East!"
"Oppose the new GST bill!"
The sound outside, wave after wave.
"What's going on?" Bush Sr. asked.
"It's the crowd of demonstrators, outside our White House!" White House Chief of Staff William said.
"Damn, organize more guards at once, don't let them rush in!" Bush Sr. said: "There must be a mastermind behind this demonstration!" ”
If it weren't for someone to mobilize and organize, and just rely on the people themselves, they wouldn't have been able to make such a big move! Almost instantly, Bush Sr. thought of the Democratic Party, which had always wanted to oust him from power, and the other party would be so shameless and want to make the entire American country turmoil for the sake of the position of the White House!
"President, the situation is dangerous now, I think, you should go to President No. 1 first." This was stated by Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney.
Bush Sr. shook his head, the last time the White House suffered a terrorist attack, he was on the first president, and now, it is just a public demonstration, if this is the case, he will be on the first president, and he must not be laughed at by those fellows of the Democratic Party!
"No, I'm here, I'm going to make a national address, Cheney, conscript and mobilize the National Guard, and forcefully restore law and order in the states!" Bush Sr. said. (To be continued.) )
