"The United States did not use force against Mexico, as the empire had envisioned, and they held back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Non-violent non-cooperation, they will do it that way."

"Mexico has had a huge appetite lately, and I'm afraid one Louisiana won't be able to satisfy them."

"If you can't let the United States rise again, then let them pinch it, anyway, the dog eats the dog."

Inside the Empire State Building, members of Congress debated the Mexican invasion of Louisiana.

Since the attitude of the Chinese empire on the US-Mexico issue is itself to instigate the contradictions between the two countries and create obstacles to the re-emergence of the United States, the strategy of the congressmen in dealing with this matter is to secretly continue to instigate and further aggravate the US-Mexico contradictions.

However, the United States took Mexico to the League of Nations tribunal, which created a huge problem for the League of Nations. The League of Nations, Britain and France were naturally dissatisfied with the Mexican army's invasion of the United States, and strongly criticized Mexico at the League of Nations Congress. And put pressure on Mexico, trying to force the Mexican army to withdraw from the US state of Louisiana. However, the Mexican army did not pay attention to the British and French complaints at all, and saw that the attitude of the Chinese Empire was ambiguous, so Suo Xing did not leave, and the League of Nations had no way to do it, because the most important army of the League of Nations was cut down when the League of Nations was established, and there was no army in the League of Nations, so there was no way to take the Mexican army.

In this way, the United States adopted a strategy of non-violent non-cooperation, and the Mexican army was cheeky and did not leave, and de facto controlled the whole of Louisiana.

Mexicans were already deeply discriminated against by the Americans, and after the Sino-American war, this discrimination turned into hatred, and with the Mexican army's blatant invasion of Louisiana, the entire American nation was immediately outraged.

The United States at this time, after the defeat in the Sino-American War. The land has been lost, and the sovereignty has been humiliated. The war wreaked havoc on the U.S. homeland economy and the huge post-war reparations. As a result, the U.S. economy collapsed, society was unstable, and people were living in dire straits. At this time, Mexico continued to invade the United States, which made the American people extremely angry. A group of unambitious politicians in the United States suddenly saw an opportunity.

February 3, 1919, George? Lincoln? Rockwell and a group of disgruntled youths who admired wartime Washington founded the National Socialist Party. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, and with just 10 members, the party headquarters in Zhongyang turned out to be a café and bookstore selling political and economic theories. Their call was largely based on the doctrine of racial superiority. They believe that the "superior American race" has the right to enslave and even exterminate the "inferior race", and the inferior nation in their program is aimed at the Jews of the United States. At the same time, they believe that the fundamental reason for the rapid rise of the Chinese Empire to become the world's number one power in a short period of time is that the Chinese Empire has a powerful ducai emperor, Wang Chenhao, who can concentrate all the forces of the entire country together and play an important role. Thus, their own programme also emphasizes the principle of "leaders" in all areas, declaring that the "leader" is the representative of the will of the state as a whole, and that state power should be held by one person.

But. Rockwell had little leadership, and his National Socialist Party had no money. The second has no appeal, it has been established for nearly a year, its members are only 50 people, and the funds are less than 200,000 US dollars, which is only equivalent to 30,000 dragon coins under the huge inflation. People and money can't do anything at all.

When the hot summer is over, some remnants of the flu virus that have been hiding in the shadows make a comeback as the chill of late autumn rolls in.

In late October, just a few days after Russia defeated the White Russian army and unified Russia, a large-scale flu epidemic broke out again. This outbreak is different from the last Spanish flu pandemic, which is unprecedented in terms of scale and fatality. After the first BO epidemic passed, Soviet Russia imported 50 tons of Shennong antibiotics to the Chinese Empire as a reserve, but these drugs failed to work when the second BO epidemic struck, because the first batch of residual influenza viruses mutated and were extremely destructive to the human body.

In just one month, 70% of the country's population was infected, the mortality rate soared to 25%, millions of civilians died, Soviet Russia was hit hard again, the economy regressed to the 1880s, and the society was even more uneasy.

In November, the pandemic spread across Europe. At this time, European countries were still basking in the joy of the victory over the Spanish flu epidemic last time, believing that there were large reserves of Shennong antibiotics and aspirin, which were enough to deal with any epidemic. At the same time, the Virus Laboratory of the Imperial Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention has used the influenza antibodies in the human body that survived the last Spanish flu to replicate and produce a large number of antiviral agents, which have provided reassurance to European countries.

However, what they did not expect was that after the influenza virus was introduced into Europe from Soviet Russia, it mutated again after combining with the pollution source of the influenza virus chain caused by the chemical weapons left over from Europe after the war, causing the failure of the antiviral agents that had just been developed, and as a result, the epidemic broke out almost simultaneously in various European countries, more than half of the Europeans were infected, and more than 20 million people died in two months, more than the total number of casualties caused by the world war, and the European economy that had just been in the mood collapsed again.

In 1920, the second major influenza epidemic spread to the territory of the Chinese Empire in Yadong. Although the Chinese Empire has not relaxed its vigilance, but limited by the medical level of this era, the mutated virus has infected hundreds of thousands of Chinese Empire citizens, but fortunately, the Chinese Empire has a considerable number of antibiotic drugs, and the people have been taking antibiotics since the outbreak of the last Bo flu, and the body's own immunity is quite high, coupled with the Chinese Empire's sound medical security system, 90% of the infected people have been able to recover and be discharged. But most importantly, thanks to the regional quarantine measures adopted by the Chinese Empire, the majority of the population was able to isolate themselves from the outbreak area in a timely manner, thus reducing the area of infection and the number of infected people.

Although the Chinese Empire finally managed to control the epidemic to the greatest extent possible in the second major influenza epidemic by virtue of its strong national strength, efficient Zhengfu operations, and advanced scientific and technological capabilities, the Chinese Empire also paid the price of more than 20,000 deaths of its citizens.

On February 2, 1920, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire Wang Chenhao decreed that this day was mourned for the whole country, and all flags were lowered at half-mast for the victims of Zhengfu organs, armies, and public places, and this day was also designated by the League of Nations as the global mourning for the victims, and the League of Nations also lowered the flag at half-mast to mourn the victims.

In the last episode of the Spanish flu, there were not many people infected and not many people died in the Americas, but this time it was not, and more than 10 million people died in the Americas, with Americans being the biggest victims. Due to the defeat of the United States, in order to pay the huge war reparations to the Chinese Empire, all Americans were burdened with heavy debts and had no money to buy medical treatment, and the United States, with a population of 100 million, was infected by more than 60 million people, of whom more than 9 million people died, which made the collapse of the American economy and the turbulent society even worse.

The Americans, whose lives and lives had been battered, completely collapsed, and their hatred of the country deepened, which made the Americans quite dissatisfied with the zhengfu, which attracted the attention of one person.

Franklin, then Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Navy? Franklin Roosevelt, after his repeated campaigns for Woodrow's New Deal were frustrated, saw the opportunity available to him in this serious national crisis.

By chance, Roosevelt met the depressed Rockwell, and the two seemed to be old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and they immediately talked about each other.

After digging deeper, Roosevelt found that he had found an organization, and he believed that Rockwell's National Socialist Party was the best solution to America's current national crisis, so he applied to join this small party of fifty people.

After Roosevelt joined the National Socialist Party, he used his position in the Minzhu Party and his authority and prestige in Zhengfu to quickly recruit a large number of well-known figures from the military, political, business, academic, and industrial circles to join, and in less than three months, this small party of only about 50 people became the largest party in Virginia, and its membership expanded to 3,200.

Roosevelt threw himself enthusiastically into the work of the Party, engaged in a wide range of social interactions, published Party notices in the Statist New York Times, organized mass rallies, made speeches to promote himself, and did his utmost to expand the Party's influence. Roosevelt flexed his oratorical talents at mass rallies, trying to incite hatred against the New York Peace Treaty, Jews, and Mexicans among the college students, small proprietors, and military officers in attendance. His speeches were easy to understand, so that his audience, especially the soldiers of the Great War, felt very familiar, and thus kept them in a high level of fanaticism. In this way, the mass rallies organized by Roosevelt soon became famous. The content of his speeches, the brilliance of his language, and his eloquent arguments soon attracted a large number of followers, and the party was so impressed with him that the party chairman appointed Roosevelt as "propaganda minister" against public opinion.

With power in his hands, Roosevelt set about further consolidating his position in the party, and he rearranged the party's regular management. Then he and the party president drafted a new 35-point party program, the tone of which was anti-Mexicanism, anti-Semitism, nationalism, and "social demands," the content of which could be sweetened by almost everyone except Jews and Mexicans. In order to attract the masses, he took advantage of the two currents of nationalism and socialism that prevailed in the United States at that time, and officially changed the name of the National Socialist Party to the "National Socialist American Workers' Party", and the party program and the new name of the party were announced to the world at a mass meeting on April 24, 1920. As a result of a brief report on this matter in the press. So Roosevelt became famous in this part of the area
