In July, there were mass evictions of Chinese workers in the Dominion of Queensland, and white people stormed the Chinese workers' quarters to loot gold and goods and drive them out of their camps on an almost daily basis.

Brisbane, the capital of the Dominion of Queensland, is a port city, and the gold belt in the northern Kinpi area was discovered eight years ago, which is the latest gold mining area in Australia, and the Chinese in Queensland are almost all gathered in Brisbane and Kinpi, about 20,000 people, but now, it has become a thorn in the side of the White Australians, and in just one week, there have been more than hundreds of cases of Chinese laborers being injured, and even Chinese laborers have been shot.

Queensland Prime Minister Cook is the leader of the Workers' Alliance, the predecessor of the Australian Labor Party, and the Workers' Alliance won the parliamentary election the year before, which was also the beginning of the Australian Labor Party's temporary prominence.

Although Cook was also a loyal White Australian, unlike the citizens who were hoodwinked and encouraged by the newspapers, he did not want Queensland's relations with China to deteriorate out of control, so when the Chinese consul in Brisbane, Su Kaiser, began to organize Chinese workers to leave Australia from Brisbane, Cook urgently met with Consul Su, hoping to ease the current tense situation.

However, the appointment of Consul Su on the same day refused on the grounds of "dealing with labor matters", and Cook had no choice but to visit, and in the afternoon, he came to the residence of Consul Su at 143 Gold Coast Road, a deep courtyard of a three-story villa.

China has consulates in Melbourne and Sydney, and the Australian consuls in the rest of the region are all served by Chinese businessmen, such as the Consul Su in Brisbane, who is the most influential Chinese businessman in Queensland, in fact, he has gradually integrated into local life, has a dock and a large area of land in the port of Brisbane, and is also married to the daughter of Miss Australia and a wealthy British businessman, and is very well-connected in Brisbane's high society.

Prime Minister Cook finally met the Chinese businessman in the stained-glass living room, where goblin tapestries, sofa coffee tables and crystal cups hung on the four walls of the living room, completely Western-style decoration, while Consul Su wore a dark gray three-piece suit with a pocket watch hanging from the pocket of his jacket, looking no different from an Australian gentleman, except that a narrow scar on his face revealed his unknown past.

Su Kaize is actually Boss Su, Ye Zhao's brother-in-law, changed his name five years ago, and after marrying Miss Rose, he gradually settled down in Australia, Ye Zhao and the matchmaker also hope that he can live a stable and prosperous life in the second half of his life, but Boss Su took the initiative to ask Ying to join the overseas agency of internal affairs or homeland security, and Ye Zhao did not allow it.

However, Su Lao was naturally an idle surname, and finally took the position of overseas consul from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responsible for safeguarding the rights and interests of Chinese workers in Queensland.

The composition of Chinese labor in Queensland is more complex, there are poor people and even the second generation who were sold as piglets in the early years, there are also gold diggers in Australia after the establishment of the empire, and even the remnants of the Taiping Army who took refuge in Australia with the help of Western merchants after the defeat of the Taiping Army.

Boss Su, because of his special experience, although no one knows his true past, but most of them know that he is a hero who participated in the Heaven and Earth Society in his early years and then got close to the new dynasty, coupled with his pride and righteousness, he is the backbone of Chinese workers in Brisbane and Goldbark, and he is often asked to mediate disputes between Chinese workers or with white employers.

Sitting in front of Boss Su now, Cook seems to still be able to feel the heroic aura of this big man, as if thousands of troops are neighing, making people unconsciously half a cut shorter.

Sipping tea from China, Cook tried his best to hope that the meeting would achieve his goal, and he was very careful with his words: "Mr. Su, I hope you will seriously consider my suggestion and not cause unnecessary trouble because of a small misunderstanding." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Boss Su has a fire in his heart, in fact, in Australia over the years, although he has a lot of money, he can still feel the rejection of him by the white upper class, and a little dispute overseas, Australians are not reasonable, slave traders in the Western world are now the same as everyone shouts and beats, but even so, this conflict has become the fuse for Australian white people to reject Chinese workers.

How difficult it is for Chinese laborers in a foreign country to empathize with Boss Su, the Chinese workers are docile, but such a docile population is now suffering in panic, I am afraid that I don't know when a group of white thugs with sticks and even muskets will rush in and commit violence, and the hardships and sorrows can be understood by the prime minister of Baiao in front of him?

"Mr. Governor, you can't stop them from harming Chinese workers, can you?" There was a slight sneer on the corner of Boss Su's mouth.

Governor Cook was stunned, speechless, and to be honest, he repeatedly ordered strictly, but the local police turned a blind eye to this, and even some police officers joined the team of perpetrators, and almost no law and order forces would really care about these perpetrators.

Boss Su didn't say more, picked up the teacup, and said, "Mr. Governor, please." ”

Governor Cook knew that this was the courtesy of the Chinese to serve tea and send guests, sighed in his heart, got up and said goodbye, he could not say disappointed in his heart, he did his best, and it may not be bad to go on like this, maybe it will be the beginning of preventing Chinese workers from coming to Australia once and for all.

Watching Cook being sent out by the servants from the glass window, a blonde woman stood silently behind Boss Su.

"It's going to be okay, is it?" Miss Rose's blue eyes were full of anxiety, she knew how tense the atmosphere was outside, and she had been warned by friends that someone was going to disadvantage her husband.

Boss Su shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Miss Rose's lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but she lowered her head.

Su Lao Dao: "What's wrong?" ”

Miss Ross was silent for a long moment, and then said, "I see a letter in the suitcase......"

Boss Su was stunned, then sighed, and said: "I can't complain about your restlessness, or not, I wanted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to transfer it to my sister, since you saw it, if something happened to me......" Stretched out his hand and gently covered the red lips of Miss Ross, who wanted to speak, and said softly: "If something happens to me, you give this letter to my sister, she will definitely come to look for you, and you have seen her ......"

Miss Ross's eyes gradually turned red, but she knew her husband's unbending temper, and knew that it was useless for her to say it, and he would definitely not go first now, and would have to wait for the Chinese to evacuate.

However, although the Manila Chinese Chamber of Commerce has assembled more than a dozen passenger ships and made three flights a day from Manila to Brisbane to transport Chinese workers, tens of thousands of Chinese are afraid that it will be impossible to evacuate without half a month or ten days, not to mention that something may happen during the period. And now the richest Chinese businessman in Budapest is his husband, and he must have become a thorn in the side of many people.

Boss Su took his wife's hand and said: "Although you have seen my sister, you don't know that she is the imperial concubine of the Chinese emperor. "Boss Su knows the temper of the matchmaker, although she has cultivated her surname over the years, but she has an accident, I really don't know what she will do, my brother-in-law loves my sister, even if I know that it is inappropriate, it will be up to her, under the thunderous anger of these two, I am afraid that the land of Australia will turn into powder, and then the entire world will be a catastrophe.

Miss Ross was stunned, she had met her husband's sister a few times, and she felt that people were very friendly, but what was it? Imperial Concubine? Yes, I have heard that the emperor of China has a wife who can fight well and bravely, isn't it surnamed Su?

Before Boss Su could say more, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a subordinate hurriedly came in, his face was quite unsightly, and he said urgently: "Sir, some thugs came to the trading house to make trouble and were injured. ”

Boss Su frowned, but he knew that this xenophobic storm would burn on his head sooner or later, and said, "I'll take a look." He turned around and patted his wife's hand, signaled her to be relieved, and hurried out with his subordinates.

Looking at her husband's back, Miss Ross was in turmoil, but she could only muttered a cross on her chest to pray for her husband's safety............ Boris was originally a murderer in London, exiled to Australia, Brisbane was the location of the prison at that time, ten years ago the Australian Autonomous Axe amnesty, Boris really free, but these years of speculation and camping have been repeatedly frustrated, he immediately vented a resentment on the Chinese workers, thinking that it was the Chinese workers who robbed him of his job opportunities, and the bankrupt businessmen and rogue friends around him were also extremely hostile to the Chinese, and had taken advantage of the night to loot the Chinese gathering area several times.

After the "massacre" of Australians on the island of New Guinea by the Chinese, Boris and others naturally became the vanguard of advocating the expulsion of Chinese laborers.

And the department store built by the Chinese on the Bund of Brisbane Port was so eye-catching, it soon became the target of Boris and others, and the department store closed the board, Boris and others went to smash the door of the store, ready to loot the goods inside.

Boris and a dozen other people were driven out and suffered a small loss, so under the instigation of Boris and others, hundreds of Australians gradually gathered in front of the firm, mostly people of bad character and idleness, and their eyes were red when they saw the dilapidated store door and the dazzling goods on the shelves.

I just saw it clearly, and the Chinese employees in the store all took out their short guns and pointed them at the door.

An obese white youth next to Boris shouted: "Get out the Chinese who are blackmailing our blood and sweat!" Australia is a snow-white Australia! ”

"Kick the Chinese out!"

"Bang", a white man shot inside, and then stones and glass bottles stained with fire oil flew in, and the scene immediately became violent. Bang bang bang, the Chinese clerks also began to shoot back.
