Chapter 572: The Bitter Hawkins

There is a saying among Chinese people called ...... "Why do you put family feuds in front?" This means that many people take family feuds very seriously, and there is an old saying that "the revenge of killing one's father and taking one's wife is painful!" ”

I'm afraid that's what it means. But what if someone is robbing you of your wealth and your wealth? I'm afraid that the vast majority of people in the city are angry, and there must be people in this world who can treat money like dung, but it definitely does not include our Su Dasu's main seat.

In the eyes of the layman of the Su Dynasty, Roosevelt, you and I are both presidents of the same country, if you are afraid of the rise of our China and use means, it doesn't matter, everyone fights each other with their own skills, and the battle between gongs and drums in person depends on their own skills and luck. But now you want to start with my personal wealth and the coffin book for the future pension, it would be too unkind, I, the president, can't refrain from being a lifelong president, you have copied all my family money, and I will abdicate in the future, buddy, you let me take a group of wives and children to the street to ask for food. It's bearable, it's unbearable, since you want to touch my coffin, then don't blame me for being unkind.

Su Tong, who was furious, immediately used the power of the country and began to fight back against the United States, okay, aren't you going to raid my home? Then let's both stop playing and let's go about our business behind closed doors.

Su Tong's hand really went beyond Roosevelt's expectations, he just hinted that the following chaebols and officials slightly suppressed the Shouwang Company and a few Chinese businessmen who seemed to have a relationship with the Shouwang Company, but he didn't expect to immediately attract such a strong counterattack from the Huaxia government, and looking at their posture, it was not unscrupulous to break with the United States. Confused, Roosevelt called Hotline overnight and recalled Dr. Hawkins, who was still on vacation in San Francisco, and was known as an expert on Chinese issues.

The next afternoon, when a dusty Hawkins arrived at the White House, he was blamed for Roosevelt's tired and confused look as he sat on the balcony.

Roosevelt looked at the inexhaustible falling maple leaves in the distance and the chilly autumn wind, his eyes were confused, Hawkins actually didn't speak, "This is standing behind Roosevelt and quietly accompanying him."

After a long time, Roosevelt opened. , but the voice was hoarse, "Hawkins" Why did you say that the Huaxia government would make such a decision? If the tariffs are raised by 300 percent, do they really want to break with us in the United States? Hawkins, you know what? I thought I could ignore the reaction of that faraway land, but I realized I was wrong, and now I'm worried. ”

"Mr. President, the weather is starting to get colder" I'll push you back to the house! Hawkins put his hand on the armrest of his wheelchair, pushed Roosevelt to the fireplace, closed the balcony window, picked up the boiling kettle next to him, and made two cups of coffee.

When Hawkins handed Roosevelt the richly scented coffee, he said, "Mr. President, do you know what you did wrong this time?" "Of course, I knew that I should not have instigated the DuPont consortium to move the watch company." Until now, Roosevelt still doesn't know that the reason why Su Tong reacted so much was because he moved Su Tong's cake, so he would not be Roosevelt.

"Yes, Mr. President, the reason why we are so passive this time is because you touched that gentleman's milk." Hawkins showed off a little humor. "According to my observation over the years, the Chinese people are a very strange people, and they will often do things that we cannot understand, even unthinkable. It's like ......"

It's like this tariff hike, isn't it? Roosevelt interrupted Hawkins with some impoliteness, "Hawkins, please forgive me for my faux pas, but you know what? Just yesterday."

The Huaxia government has announced that it will send their chief adviser, that is, Su Tong's fellow general Bai Chongxi, to Germany for a friendly greeting, which is a dangerous signal from the Huaxia government to the Western world, which means that Huaxia, which occupies the largest population in the world, will have more intimate contact with the empire led by that madman, Hawkins "Do you know what this means? "What? The Chinese government is going to send their advisers to pay a visit to Germany? Hawkins's brows furrowed slightly, but he then thought about it and shook his head and said, "Mr. President, your worries will not be presented, and I think you were scared by them this time." ”

"Oh, can you elaborate on that?"

"Mr. President, this nasal tariff incident is, at worst, the President of the Soviet Union using his power to communiqué and take revenge" At worst, it is his reaction to the fact that you secretly opened the dock to allow Russian arms to pour into Sakhalin. As I said earlier, the Chinese people have some very strange habits or psychology, such as they like to confuse family feuds with state affairs, that is, official affairs and SI affairs.

I think it would be very unwise for you to let people move the Shouwang Company this time, since you know that the boss behind the Wangwang Company is the President Su, and you still have to instruct the DuPont consortium to move the Shouwang Company, this situation seems to imply that the struggle between you and him has shifted from the official business at the national level to the purpose of personal affairs, especially in the eyes of the Chinese people, this is to show that you have decided to tear your face with him endlessly.

Many Chinese people have a tradition that seems to us to be very unfavorable, that is, they tend to regard personal enmity as more important than national enmity, and it is strange that he is not anxious with you if you want to steal his wealth now. ”

Roosevelt couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Hawkins, it's a pity that your proposal came too late, otherwise I wouldn't have committed such a serious mistake." ”

"No, Mr. President, there is a Chinese proverb that says, "It's not too late to make amends," and as long as we work hard to save them, there is still a chance. Hawkins suddenly smiled mysteriously, and he took a sip of coffee from the cup in his hand before saying what he thought.

"Mr. President, I have also carefully considered this matter on the way here, and I think that in order to solve this matter, all we need to do is to instigate the Congress to make a gesture, a sincerity that the Chinese people can feel, like saying an apology!"

"Apologize!" Roosevelt couldn't help frowning: "Hawkins, do you want me to apologize to such a little guy for the matter of the watch company?" You know, that's impossible, and I'm now representing our great United States of America. ”

"No, Mr. President, you misunderstood, I am not referring to this matter, I am referring to the fact that you should announce on behalf of the US government that you will remove the inhumane Chinese Exclusion Act and apologize to the Huaxia government and **."

"Removing the Chinese Exclusion Act?" Roosevelt couldn't help but wonder.

In 1882, the U.S. Congress accepted Republican Senator John Miller (N. MfM

than u) submitted the Chinese Exclusion Act, for which the US Congress was hotly debated. The main arguments for Chinese exclusion are: Chinese people have many vices and prejudices, and they cannot accept the American standards of ethics and morality based on the foundation of Christianity. In addition, the influx of Chinese workers has created a tense situation of competing for jobs with American workers. The reason for the rejection of the Chinese exclusion was that the Chinese exclusion violated the "free" immigration policy in the Sino-American Anson Treaty, and violated the founding principle of "freedom and equality" in the American Republic. Eventually, anti-Chinese doctrine won the support of a majority of votes in Congress.

On May 6, 1882, the U.S. Congress passed the first bill in U.S. history to restrict immigration, and to enforce the provisions of the Chinese treaty, commonly known as the American Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was also the first and only act in U.S. history to pass congressional legislation to discriminate against race.

The "Chinese Exclusion Act" lasted for decades, until the Roosevelt administration, and was constantly amended during this period, such as not allowing new immigrants to come to the United States, not allowing Chinese to become American citizens, not allowing Chinese to marry white people, and treating Chinese women as prostitutes. It is hard to imagine that such a "Chinese Exclusion Act", which violates the spirit of the US Constitution and human rights, can be implemented in the United States for decades.

As president, Roosevelt naturally had the right to submit a bill to Congress to remove the Chinese Exclusion Act, but apologetic to the Chinese government on behalf of the government made him embarrassed.

"Mr. President, the Chinese Exclusion Act itself is a bill that violates the purpose of our Constitution, and now you ask Congress to remove this bill and apologize to the Chinese government will not actually damage your majesty, but it will increase your prestige among the people. Hawkins persuaded bitterly.

"The Chinese people are originally a country that values the so-called "face" very seriously, and now you just need to ask the DuPont consortium to stop suppressing the watch company, and make such a gesture, I think you will find that you have gained far more than you have lost, and you don't want to really push the Chinese people to the side of the Germans, I can't imagine what kind of shock and consequences it will have on the world when millions or even tens of millions of armed Chinese soldiers and that madman's army come together, this is terrible. ”

Hawkins knew that Roosevelt himself was a very good man who could afford to put it down, and as long as he approved of his words, he would make the right choice.

The fireplace flickered on Roosevelt's gray sideburns, and his expression flickered.

After a long time, Roosevelt suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, why not?" ” @
