Chapter 1444 Bottom line (third change, please subscribe)

"We're going to lock up every potential enemy, not just for our safety, but for theirs as well."

In the state legislature, when Stanford Jr. gave a speech, he directly supported Governor James Herbert's proposal to arrest the imperial expatriates. Unlike others, his speech was a little bit "human." .

It's for the safety of the imperial diaspora, after all, God only knows what those Californians who are hostile to the imperial diaspora will do at this time.In fact, after the war broke out, some people beat the imperial expatriates and even set fire to their houses.

Of course, all of this is just a reason. These Yankees did what they said. After the governor signed the decree, they immediately summoned the National Guard and the police to notify the imperial expats from door to door. It was not a notification, but a direct one. arrest.Amidst the hooting of police cars, the National Guard in trucks or horse-drawn carriages broke into Chinatown.

Over the past few days, expatriates in Chinatown have been dealt various blows—they were not allowed to leave or work, their shops were closed and their bank deposits were frozen.

Overnight, these hard-working people became "Jews" in the United States—just like the anti-Semitism in Europe, they suffered unprecedented persecution.Faced with these persecutions, the expatriates are as frightened as birds, and can only wait for the disaster to come.

The military and police who participated in the operation broke down the doors of the expatriates and gave them an "ultimatum": to move out of here within 24 hours and forcibly move to an Indian reservation known only to God. What the hell place?

No one knows, but when the expatriates leave, they can only take a dozen pounds of clothes with them, and their belongings cannot exceed $200.In a word, it was a robbery at all-their shops and houses were robbed, even their clothes were robbed, and their bank deposits were frozen, in fact, robbed.

The expatriates who were forced to leave their homes could only bring their luggage and clothes and began the difficult trek.As they walked, trucks loaded with construction materials and barbed wire followed them, and the convoy turned into a wild mountain and forest.Then, under the coercion of the military and police, they set up tents in the desert, built houses by themselves, and surrounded themselves with barbed wire.

In the end, at the request of the Americans, they also set up a flagpole in the camp.Even forced them to raise the Stars and Stripes.When the flag was raised, the expatriates were even required to sing the national anthem and show their loyalty. Although many people directly chose to refuse, there were scum every year and there were so many traitors.Among the tens of thousands of expatriates, there are naturally some scum who chose to cooperate with those foreign devils.

For example, Boss Lin of the Agreement Hall in Chinatown, San Francisco, will proudly stand with Major Henry in the concentration camp.In just 1852 years from 1873 to 21, the Agreement Church abducted and sold thousands of compatriots from China to California to work as prostitutes. Because of this, it suffered the same official attack as other gangs. In the past 20 years, Under the attack of the Imperial Foreign Office and the police, the Agreement Hall, which once controlled half of Chinatown, has become a worthless hall.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and it is precisely because of this that they are full of hostility towards the empire.After the foreigners attacked Chinatown, Boss Lin and his lackeys were the first to stand up. They first attacked the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and then they acted as thugs in the concentration camp, willingly serving as the lackeys of the foreigners.

The foreigners are ruthless, and these lackeys are even more ruthless in their actions. Just like when they controlled Chinatown in the past, they tried every means to bribe the foreigners while doing everything possible to bully their compatriots.This was the case in the past, and it is the same now. When the flag is raised, if anyone does not cooperate, these guys wearing top hats and black silk jackets will rush over and beat them severely to show their loyalty to foreigners.

Accompanied by the sound of the band playing, the Star-Spangled Banner was slowly raised. Ding Lide, who was in the crowd, seemed to be clasping his right hand on his chest and singing "The Star-Spangled Banner", but in his heart, he hummed The national anthem of the empire.

Of course, he knows what it means to be under the roof and have to bow your head.

"Just wait, when the imperial army comes, this ghostly day will come to an end..."

While looking forward to it in his heart, Ding Lide looked at the children who were playing music. When they played the American national anthem, they always had a hint of resignation, even a little anger, but all they could do was be patient.

Seeing the smug faces of Boss Lin and the others, Ding Lide thought to himself.

"Let's see how long you can be rampant..."

furious!

The arrogance of these people is entirely based on the oppression of their compatriots. In order to show their loyalty to foreigners, they even took the initiative to say something-despite the government's treatment of them, they are still loyal to the Stars and Stripes and this piece of land called "the motherland".There are even some people who earnestly suggested that they hope that they can go to the factory or the battlefield to do their best for the United States.

"They're all a group of bastards who have forgotten their ancestors..."

While Ding Lide was cursing Boss Lin and his lackeys in his heart, Boss Lin was in a good mood. Good news finally came from the state today.

Finally, after the flag-raising ceremony was over, and with the consent of Major Henry, Boss Lin walked to the stage with a smile on his face, and said.

"My fellow countrymen, I have some good news to tell you today. Thanks to the favor of the governor and the governors of the state, we and other criminals now have a chance to serve the United States!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his face was full of traitors. Looking at his traitorous face, Ding Lide felt disgusted in his heart. When he couldn't help spitting on the ground, he heard the guy's voice again.

"In order to resist the invasion of the Ming Dynasty, California has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. At present, it has won many battles on the battlefield, captured many enemies, and there are countless Ming people who voluntarily surrendered. After all, unjust wars are naturally unacceptable. It is popular, but because of the different language, there are naturally many inconveniences on the battlefield. Out of humanity, the governor decided to recruit villagers who can speak official language to join the army in the camp, and serve the country with practical actions. I also invite you to sign up , to repay the kindness of the governor!"

When Boss Lin finished speaking, the concentration camp was naturally silent. Words like repeated victories, many captives, and voluntary surrender are simply deceiving ghosts. Who would believe it?The newspaper clearly stated that Washington State had been conquered by the Empire.

Who would believe his nonsense?

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Boss Lin couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He was like the major who had patted his chest and promised.Surely enough translators could be recruited for them.He stared at these people present, and finally he set his eyes on Ding Lide. He is the principal of the Overseas Chinese School. Among these people, his status is very special and he has a high prestige.

As long as he can be persuaded, then this matter can definitely be done.

"Principal Ding, you are a teacher in the school. Not only can you speak Mandarin, but you can also speak English. At this time, as a teacher, you must do your part. Principal Ding, you must know what it means to be a hero by knowing the times."

"Is Junjie a traitor?"

Ding Lide, who was directly named, suppressed the anger in his heart, stared at him and said.

"Boss Lin, we are all Chinese. Why do you have to be so aggressive and force your compatriots to join the army to fight against the empire? Are you not afraid that the empire will come over and prosecute you for treason?"

Then he said bluntly,
"You know, Americans... are nothing but a rabbit's tail, which won't grow!"

After saying these words, Ding Lide looked directly at the other party, with a look of complete indifference.Maybe he can be silent, but it doesn't mean he will choose to be a traitor.

There are some things that absolutely cannot be done.

　Really speechless...
