"You don't know yet, in the Northwest Territories, there have been ?????"
Situ Nan dipped his fingers in the water and wrote the word "starving"! His face was solemn, and he suddenly thought in his heart: Maybe only the bitter cold northwest is suitable for the tenacious G party! They should really be allowed to start there, and it's not bad to teach those bastards in Beiyang some lessons!
Mu Xianming's face changed, he hadn't returned to China for too long, and his relatives at home either immigrated to the United States or went to South China. In his impression, the situation in the north was almost blank, but it felt like it was chaotic.
Seeing a trace of worry flashing in Situ Nan's eyes, he vaguely caught the other party's worry. Now in the United States, he is a diplomat in South China, and he is not in a position to worry about the far northwest.
"Hey, what are you muttering?"
Situ Meideng got out of the group of excited villagers, and when he saw Situ Nan and Mu Xianming sitting in a relatively secluded position talking something, he walked over with a smile.
He just used a lot of words to introduce New Tangshan, and encouraged the Chinese in Chinatown to go to New Tangshan. This has resonated with many people, especially the elderly, some of whose descendants had previously participated in the Nanyang War, and have now settled down in South China, and have written many letters asking their relatives in the United States to migrate to South China.
"Didn't say anything." Situ Nan said with a smile, not wanting to sweep away Situ Meiden's excitement. There are some things that can't be rushed.
Thinking of the deal with the Mellon family, Situ Nan said: "I just wanted to talk to you about Chinatown, about the Chinese Exclusion Act." Xianming, you come along. "On the issue of Chinese exclusion in the United States. He already had some clues.
Situ Meiden and Mu Xianming nodded. His expression became solemn.
The "Chinese Exclusion Act" is like a heavy black net hanging over the heads of hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the United States, weighing them down. The establishment of Nanhua finally tore open the corner of this black net slightly, and a ray of dawn illuminated the hearts of Chinese Americans.
The South China delegation stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, a landmark building located on the bustling Fifth Avenue, with a height of 28 floors and an area of 30,000 square meters.
The owner of the hotel is naturally Situ Nan, and the land was purchased from the Roosevelt family. The hotel also has a share of the Roosevelt family.
It cost $15 million and took three years to build, causing a small sensation in New York. Due to Situ Nan's personal taste, the style of the hotel is as good as his name. Full of mystical oriental colors.
The lower 20th floor is operated as a hotel, and the upper floors have used business offices, including the New York branch of the American Chinese Company, the American office of the American Chinese Bank, the American Liaison Office of the South China Ministry of Commerce, and other units related to Nanhua are concentrated in the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, which can be said to be the representative of Nanhua's economic power in the United States.
Because it is located in the center of bustling New York, which is very conducive to the economic cooperation between South China and major American conglomerates, there are gradually more yellow faces coming in and out here, and Chinese businessmen will choose the Oriental Mandarin Hotel when they come to New York.
"Every time I stand here, looking at the nearby Robles Company building and the humble William Financial Company, I feel a little uneasy, and I feel that my efforts are far inferior to Mr. Situ's efforts." Mu Xianming said with emotion.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the Chinese Exclusion Act. This is also a ditch between South China and the United States, and if you work harder, you will be over. Situ Nan was a little excited, and glanced at the dozen pairs of excited and slightly apprehensive eyes in the conference room.
In addition to the large South China delegation, a large number of Chinese elites in the United States, such as Xu Zhouyang, chairman of Cummins Electric, Huo Zhiting, a gambling king from Guangdong Province who is starting a gambling business in Nevada, Wang Chen, a killer doctor in Chinatown, and Chu Fu, chairman of the South American BP Fruit Company, also gathered in New York to strive to break the discrimination against Chinese in white American society and improve the living conditions of Chinese in the United States.
"The first thing I want to say is that we live in a world described in Darwin's theory of evolution, where nation-states interact, compete, and even fight. That's the law of the jungle.
Sometimes it will show the brutality of the open fire, and sometimes it will have the slightest hint of warm hypocrisy, no matter what, if you want to win the respect of others, strength is the most important thing.
The good news. We have achieved remarkable results in Nanyang, with companies operating in New York, Los Angeles and even Europe. We have a certain strength to build national industry, which is the invincible position of the Han nation in Nanyang. Here, I have to thank those soldiers who fought bravely for the independence of South China and the staff who worked silently behind the scenes, everyone is a hero. That's why we have the opportunity to come together here and discuss how to improve the living conditions of Chinese Americans. ”
Situ Nan was excited and bowed to the South China delegation represented by Situ Meiden, and the scene resounded with warm applause.
Everyone here knows Situ Nan and knows his efforts for this, so most of the applause is for Situ Nan.
Looking at those excited, excited, and even adoring eyes, Situ Nan felt a sense of satisfaction, he was fully qualified to enjoy these applause.
This meeting is also a meeting of the Chinese people in the world, and more than half of the delegates are members of the Han-Ming Freemasonry, which can be regarded as an enlarged meeting of the Han-Ming Freemasonry.
"Get back to business-" Situ Nan pressed his hands weakly, the scene immediately quieted down, he smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to Situ Meiden beside him, "How to deal with the discrimination against Chinese in American society?" This question is answered by Prime Minister Szeto! ”
On this issue, Situ Nan, Situ Meiden and others have discussed it in private and have reached a consensus.
Situ Meiden stroked a long beard, and a slightly reserved smile appeared on his face, a bit of a big man's demeanor: "Although in fact, Chinese exclusion in American society is no longer as strict as it was more than ten years ago, and many local states have become more tolerant of Chinatown, but the Chinese Exclusion Act is a permanent law passed by the US Congress, and the only way to overturn it is to make China strong." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene cooled down a little, and many people showed disappointed expressions in their eyes, but they still patiently listened to how Situ Meiden explained.
"For the established facts. We have more to do. It is a matter of great discourse to overturn this unjustified decree with greater conviction. The problem at hand is that the Chinese Exclusion Act is mainly aimed at Chinese nationals, which does not include South Chinese nationality, and we can take roundabout measures on this issue. ”
Situ Meiden laughed.
Hearing him say this, everyone came to their senses and showed excited expressions. In fact, the exclusion of Chinese and Chinese has no vital interests with the compatriots on the mainland of the motherland, and it is only the hundreds of thousands of Chinese who are stranded in the United States who suffer as long as they become South Chinese citizens. Naturally, this question does not exist.
Both South China and the United States recognize dual citizenship, and Situ Nan talked to Andrew on this issue, and also consulted the opinions of his politician friends Wilson, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Congress, Senator George of California, and Dennis Mayor of San Francisco, and they all believed. Given the close economic relationship between South China and the United States, they welcomed hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the United States to become South Chinese citizens.
The equal treatment accorded to Chinese in the United States is just an acknowledgment of the current facts. For the United States, which has a population of hundreds of millions, the influence of hundreds of thousands of Chinese is not as threatening to American society as some politicians with ulterior motives have described.
The only problem is that in the future, Chinese from China will be severely restricted from entering the United States, which means that South China will ensure that there will not be a large influx of more Chinese immigrants into the United States. Of course, Chinese people who study abroad and do business are not affected by this.
At this point, there is no pressure on Nanhua, because Nanhua itself does not have enough Chinese population, so naturally it will not let a large number of Chinese immigrants flee to the United States.
Shortly after World War I, Situ stopped organizing Chinese immigration to California. San Francisco and Los Angeles accounted for more than a quarter of the Chinese population, and after extinguishing the racial power led by the Ku Klux Klan, in California, where Anglo-Saxon whites do not make up a majority, this proportion was enough to ensure the legal survival of Chinese in the western states.
In the future, the direction of the development of Chinese in the United States will be high-quality talents, and professions such as businessmen, engineers, skilled workers, and lawyers will become the first choice for Chinese employment, while the proportion of traditional Chinese farmers will be less and less after the commercialization of gangs in Chinatown.
As long as they can play an increasingly important role in the construction of society in the future, the shackles imposed on them will naturally be gradually broken.
Situ Nan's investment in a large number of industries in California provides a good opportunity for the improvement of the Chinese population. For them personally, self-reliance and self-improvement not only satisfy their own development, but also contribute their own strength to South China or the motherland.
"In the future. The Chinese will not immigrate to the Americas on a large scale, but the Chinese forces in the Americas should unite in South China to build a strong country together. After all, America is a white man's world, and the rear of the Han nation is in the South Seas! There are infinite resources, and the vast land provides us with survival and development. Nanhua is strong. The Chinese people in the world have also stood up! ”
Situ Meiden said, loudly. A majestic face.
His words expressed Nanhua's attitude towards the United States, and according to his thinking, instead of being angry in the United States, the Chinese should all move to South China and build the country together.
It's a bit unrealistic. However, a large number of Chinese intellectuals were more than willing to return to South China.
The fact that the South China government consciously guided Chinese to immigrate to Nanyang and restricted ordinary Chinese from immigrating to the United States does not mean that the power of Chinese in the United States will weaken.
On the contrary, with the development of South China and the increasing economic prosperity of the United States, more Chinese will immigrate to the United States in the future, but they are all well-educated, talented or wealthy Chinese, and they will become an important force in American society.
To put it bluntly, the United States' exclusion of China is only discriminating against the poor, otherwise it would have annexed Mexico long ago.
There is no doubt that South China will become a link between China and the United States, integrating China's population, American capital and technology in Nanyang, and it will undoubtedly be Nanhua that will dominate the exchanges between the Han nation and the West in the future, and the protection of the Chinese people in the world will also be Nanhua.
"This is great news! We'll have something to rely on in the future. With Nanhua behind us, we have a lot of business in the United States and Canada. ”
Ma Decai of the M Ji fast food chain praised it.
"That's right! Recently, Canada's attitude has also changed a lot, and they originally wanted to study the "Chinese Exclusion Act", but after the establishment of South China, a large number of Chinese immigrants left Canada, and they didn't need to take great pains at all. There were no Chinese immigrants, and now the economy of Western Canada has been depressed all of a sudden. ”
Xu Zhouyang said with a smile.
"Is there such a thing?" Situ Nan asked curiously.
"Hmm. This is a concoction by several states in western Canada. But they suffered a dumb loss. Xu Zhouyang said. He has been in California. Cummins Inc. also operates in the Seattle area in the northwest corner of the United States, so it knows a lot about Canada.
"Oh!" Situ Nan nodded, thinking to himself, Canada is rich in resources, and there is an opportunity to invest in it. The western region is vast and sparsely populated, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so it is impossible to say that you can fish in troubled waters.
As for Chinese exclusion, that's not a problem at all.
In this way, the issue of Chinese exclusion in the United States was skillfully solved in South China, but it was not until after World War II that the decree was overturned. Realizing the importance of China's cannon fodder, the Americans made up their minds to cancel the Chinese Exclusion Act.
(Or the situation in China has made better progress than it has historically, such as early reunification.) )
The fact that there are hundreds of thousands of overseas citizens in South China is both a pressure and a driving force. When it comes to implementation, the most important thing is that Chinese immigrants must be angry!
Come to think of it. Situ Nan couldn't help but add: "Premier Situ is right! In recent years, the Chinese have enthusiastically participated in American social affairs, purchased a large amount of US war bonds during World War I, and contributed to the United States' victory in the war.
The good example of the Chinese has won the support of a group of righteous people, and their attitude towards the Chinese is different from the past, and many members of the National Assembly have recognized the injustice of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
This dissenting voice is an encouragement to us, and we need to continue to work hard to strengthen ourselves and increase our influence in American society.
As long as we argue with reason. Actively integrate into the local society, treat others with an equal and friendly attitude, and always receive kindness from others. Of course, we must also fight against those who are extremely racist.
Jews, Catholics, Italians, blacks and other discriminated races, women who have been deprived of their political rights, we should also actively help others, and sometimes help ourselves.
It's important to preserve our culture. How you get along with other races in the U.S. and how you fit in with the local community is just as important.
Equality and freedom can only be achieved through positive action, and there is never a pie in the sky, and you can't just complain about it. Standing by and watching, it is even more indifferent to the surroundings. ”
Situ Nan's words made Ma Debao and others think. After all, their careers are in the United States, and integrating into the local society is just as important as serving the motherland. The balance should be grasped together.
Situ Nan's admonition is reasonable, overseas Chinese have suffered too much and are not united enough, and they do not take the initiative to associate with other ethnic groups and others reject them.
On the issue of Chinese immigrants in the United States, Stuart and Secretary of State Dawes reached a consensus that Chinese immigrants in the United States could apply for South Chinese citizenship, and the U.S. government recognized them and guaranteed that they would not be restricted by the Chinese Exclusion Act.
In fact, it is equivalent to the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in disguise.
Radio New York announced the news, and listening to the English of the announcer with a Russian accent on the radio, Situ Nan's heart was full of smiles, even though he had already received the news from Washington.
In those days, in order to reward Kuzdova well, he sent all the essence he had accumulated for a long time into Kuzdova's hot and soft cavity.
In this way, the more daring Kuzdova squeezed Situ Nan for several days in a row.
This result was also manipulated by him behind the scenes, and the William Consortium, the Mellon Consortium, the Rockefeller Consortium, the Morgan Consortium and other large conglomerates with close interests in South China were all pushed behind the scenes.
Except for a very small number of Democratic congressmen who shouted that the Republican government was too superior to the Chinese, the American people acquiesced to this result.
Of course, there are also some people who are worried that the influx of Chinese immigrants will rob them of their jobs, and in this regard, South China Prime Minister Stuart Meden explained in detail South China's policy on Chinese immigration in an interview with the New York Times. He called on American entrepreneurs with foresight and courage to invest in South China, hoping that American investors would buy South China's railway bonds.
A series of reports on the industrial construction of Nanhua were also published in heavyweight newspapers such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, which attracted a lot of attention and made a successful publicity for Nanhua.
"The situation in South China is very similar to that of the United States in the sixties, they are ambitious to build national railways, cultivate farms, and a large number of farmers are coming to South China from their home countries to find their South China dream. It's very similar to Europeans immigrating to the United States.
Worrying about Chinese immigrants to the U.S. is unnecessary, they have a better place to go. In the past two years, the number of Chinese in the United States has been gradually decreasing, and it is said that companies in San Francisco have moved their factories to South China. With the loss of these builders, I'm worried about California's economy going down.
Legend has it that South China is a hot land, and if I have the chance, I want to see what the new world of those Chinese is like. ”
This is a commentary written by a well-known columnist in the Los Angeles Times, starting with the development of sulfonamides by the Chinese scientist Li Renqiao, and at every critical moment, he will be the first to write accurate reports about the Chinese, and has a large number of fans.
Still, his article drew a lot of opposition, with an Italian farmer writing: "Hell! Yesterday a group of yellow people came to my farm, and they were gesturing in a language I didn't understand, but the lawyer sued me that the damn farmer had sold the land to these newcomers. I'm sure I've lost my beloved farm! ”
The Italian farmer's reply was also published in the Los Angeles Times, causing a stir among local farmers, who had more or less encountered something similar.
All of a sudden, a storm broke out...... When Situ Nan heard that he had disappeared, he was on the ship that had just returned to Los Angeles, but he arranged it freely. Stopping in Georgia for a few days on the way, he went to visit Franklin, who was suffering a lot of damage? Roosevelt.
It's better to have a broken leg than a broken leg, at least you can't go out to mess with flowers and grass. Eleanor, who originally had thoughts of divorce? Roosevelt dispelled the idea and accompanied Roosevelt, who could not be a "playboy", to become a lifelong partner.
"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you for your sympathy and help to the Chinese who have suffered injustice. "As soon as we met, Situ Nan thanked Eleanor? Roosevelt.
"God help the self-helper! It's all God's arrangement. "Eleanor? Roosevelt laughed. Thinking of what happened to her husband, her face couldn't help but darken.
Roosevelt was moved by Situ Nan's arrival, and on his recommendation, a Chinese medicine practitioner who was skilled in acupuncture came to Georgia to do health care for Roosevelt. (To be continued) RQ
