America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chen Jianqiu's words were meant for Potter, and of course they were also meant for the Chinese onlookers around.

With him around, at least these San Francisco police officers will never be able to arrest and beat Chinese people indiscriminately like before.

Potter glanced at Chen Jianqiu, and then looked around at the dark crowd around him.

Without saying anything, he left Chinatown with his own policeman and Situ Meitang.

There is no suspense about the final result.

The lawyers' group is dispatched again.

However, due to the schedule, only two people attended this time.

But enough to solve the problem.

Judges in San Francisco now see these litigators with headaches.

He always has a feeling that he has returned to the law school to listen to the professor's lecture.

In addition, the matter itself is very clear, and the evidence is also abundant.

Those gangsters had a lot of criminal records, which made the jury lean towards the defendant.

Situ Meitang originally thought that he would be hanged like the Chinese who killed people in California before.

In the end, he was released from the cell after only two months of squatting.

When he returned to Chinatown, Chen Jianqiu had already left California and only left him a long letter.

Boss Chen has only one purpose. He hopes that Situ Meitang can grow up as soon as possible, take ZGT on the right path, and never forget his own nation.

Whether you want money or someone, just ask.

He will also come to San Francisco from time to time to give enough support to the Chinese here.

Holding the letter, Situ Meitang stood at the door of the Chinese General Association and bowed deeply towards the door.

When he stood up again, tears welled up in his eyes.

Chen Jianqiu returned to Roswell.

Tesla was still working on the alternator.

Preliminary improved models are out.

Chen Jianqiu took the lead in building a power plant in Roswell, and then pulled the transmission line between Lincolnshire and Roswell.

Two places were the first to be connected to electricity.

The phone line went all the way to Santa Fe.

Sanjiang Bank and major factories have installed telephones, making communication much more convenient.

More and more scientists and engineers come here especially.

Now the Roswell Science and Technology Association is full of heroes, and laboratories have sprung up one after another, no less in scale than Edison's invention center in New York.

The treatment and conditions here are really good, not only the salary is high, but also generous bonuses, and most importantly, the investors have been staying in Roswell recently, and they voted as they said, without ambiguity.

The only bad thing is that the president and vice president of the association are obsessed with feasibility research and basically don't care about the affairs of the association.

Holmes was looking for ore all day long, Tesla and Browning were busy working on fully automatic rifles, and changing motors for the factory.

On the contrary, Boss Chen would appear in the association from time to time, chairing meetings and listening to their scientific research results.

Chen Jianqiu really had nothing to do.

It's just that he has a personal matter, a very important personal matter.

So he has to stay in Roswell recently, or he is unwilling to be too far away from Roswell.

Camilla is pregnant.

To Chen Jianqiu, this was not unexpected, but it was great news.

He's going to be a dad.

He was an orphan himself, and so was Camilla.

Therefore, during this period of time, he is more willing to stay with the two women.

In the next few years.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

Mass production of chemical fertilizers has begun. Although the barren Roswell has not been turned into fertile soil, the yield of potatoes and other crops has made a qualitative leap.

Little oases appeared in the wasteland, and those who came to visit were amazed.

Coupled with the promotion of the National Farmers Union and the Populist Party, Roswell's fertilizers began to sell well in various western states.

Mines previously invested in Mexico are beginning to show their enormous economic potential.

Technology gave America the wings to take off in the 19th century.

The silver, copper, and iron produced by these mines were continuously transported across the border into the United States through the railway built by the Santa Fe Railway Company, and at the same time brought huge profits to Chen Jianqiu.

As for the arsenal in Europe, it has completely turned losses into profits.

Whether it is Britain or France, Austria-Hungary or Germany, their emperors are extremely keen on consuming bullets in their colonies in Africa and Asia.

To deal with cavalrymen who like to wield sabers in Central Africa and the Arab world, the Maxim machine gun has become the best choice.

Maxim machine guns and bullets are out of stock in Europe, and those ambitious empires have also begun to order improved machine guns in advance.

As for the United States, the frontier is gradually disappearing.

The western territories of Iowa, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, and Montana are considering joining the federation.

With the increase in the number of people in these western states and the gradual prosperity of the industry, it stands to reason that joining the Federation is a matter of course.

But because these territories are all in power by the Republican Party.

To ensure that power would not be lost, Democrats, who control both houses of Congress, refused to admit their applications for federal membership.

Congress was in a turmoil over this, and President Cleveland was also battered by it.

The applications were not approved until Republicans sent Harrison to the White House in 1888.

But when these states applied to join the federation, the bigwigs in Washington and the east suddenly discovered that the most prosperous places in the west were not in these states.

It's New Mexico!
Unlike other western quasi-states that are dominated by agriculture, there are many factories here!

This is the largest arms production base in the United States!It is also the most prosperous place for import and export trade!

The population here is far beyond their imagination, and a large number of workers work here, including whites, Chinese and Mexicans.

The state government is very rich, and the prosperity of several core cities such as Santa Fe and Albuquerque has even caught up with San Francisco.

This kind of place has not yet joined the Federation? !
Congress began prioritizing the admission of the New Mexico Territory into the Union.

They proposed a plan that would bring New Mexico and Arizona into the Union as one state.

Those in power in Congress also see a problem.

The number of Chinese in New Mexico is beyond their imagination.

Many of the Chinese have joined the Republicans and Democrats, and served in the quasi-state governments, and even state legislators.

At first, people in Congress were puzzled by this.

In the impression of these eastern gentlemen, these western states are anti-Chinese pioneers, and the drafting of the anti-Chinese laws came into being mainly at their request.

God knows why these Chinese are living so well here now.

But to Washington's surprise, the plan was flatly rejected by both territories.

The reason has nothing to do with the Chinese.

The natives of Arizona were afraid of the prosperity and complex ethnic composition of New Mexico next door. The reason for New Mexico was simpler. They were unwilling to share congressional seats with the native hats of Arizona.

For this reason, the governor and the speaker also went to Lincolnshire to visit Chen Jianqiu.

They wanted to hear from the big man behind the scenes in New Mexico.

However, in the study of the villa in Lincolnshire, Chen Jianqiu hugged his son who had just turned one year old, and waved at them kindly:

"You political people can just deal with these things."

"I'm just a businessman and don't understand politics. As long as it doesn't delay my business, you can do whatever you want."

Of course he doesn't need to express too many opinions.

Wang Qingfu led the members of the "Chinese Political Alliance" to overwhelm both Washington and New Mexico.

Their actions represent his will.

Now in the west, Chen Jianqiu leads the Chinese to own the two basic territories of New Mexico and California, so there is no worries for the time being.

But it also gave him a wake-up call.

The frontier is dissipating, and there is not much room to move.

More and more Chinese immigrants entered the United States through California and Mexico.

They need more room to develop.

This is the last chance to seize the living space.

And soon, this opportunity came.

Chen Jianqiu received an important message:

On April 1889, 4, the federal government would open the last piece of virgin land in the entire West: the Oklahoma region.
