Battle of the Third Reich

In fact, just after the wave of Chinese exclusion in California, wealthy businessmen and squires returned to the country one after another. The wealthy grandfathers were not interested in receiving the foreign spirit, and moreover the gentlemen were not standing under the dangerous wall. So after the 1870s, most of the people who went to the United States were ordinary Chinese coolies who were in poverty.

However, at the beginning of the promulgation of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the number of Chinese in the United States did not decrease significantly, but instead increased to a certain extent. Because of the influence of the "Exclusion Act", major Chinese clubs started to smuggle people into smuggling.

Those Chinese laborers who are regarded as "class enemies" by American trade union organizations have always been welcomed by major capitalists and farmers, especially those labor-intensive production enterprises, which desperately need Chinese labor to reduce production costs.

At that time, half of California's textile workers were Chinese, and more than 80% of California's agricultural labor force came from China's coolies. Many of them had just participated in the Pacific Railway project.

The Chinese Exclusion Act actually touched the interests of the big capitalists, who hoped to continue to obtain cheap labor. Therefore, under the planning of the hall and Tangkou, many Chinese workers steal the border from the Mexican side every month.

However, driven by certain politicians and the media at that time, the entire American society fell into a hysterical atmosphere of Chinese exclusion, and squeezing and oppressing the Chinese became a kind of "political correctness". It seems that no one who supports it is not a real American. .

So when the Chinese exclusion changed from a mere public criticism to a substantive violent activity, it was really not surprising at all.

In 1885, the famous "Shiquan Massacre" broke out because Pacific Railway Coal Mine Company had been recruiting Chinese miners with low wages, causing many local white miners to lose their jobs. The 150 white miners in Shiquan City, Wyoming were nationwide. Incited by the trade union organization "Knights of Labor", fully armed destroyed the China Town in Shiquan City.

In this organized destruction and killing, a total of 79 buildings belonging to the Chinese were burned down, 28 unarmed Chinese were killed, 15 were seriously injured, and 26 others fled The nearby mountains and forests were unfortunately hit by wolves and all were killed.

The tragedy shocked American society, but the police only arrested 16 suspects afterwards. Because American law stipulates that Chinese people are not allowed to testify against white people in court, all suspects are eventually released in court because of “insufficient evidence”.

After the strong protests and negotiations of the diplomatic personnel from the Qing Dynasty, the US government symbolically compensated the Qing court with US$149,000, and it was not a compensation for the victims of the tragedy, but a scholarship for the Chinese students studying in the US. It is a pity that those Chinese scholars who have studied abroad will never know that the scholarships they have been trying to get are actually exchanged for the blood of their dead compatriots.

Since then, there have been frequent cases of violence against the Chinese community across the United States, dozens of Chinatowns have been burned down, and thousands of Chinese immigrants have been forced to be displaced.

During that period, the number of Chinese people in the United States began to decrease sharply. In addition to the unbearable laborers returning to China, the Chinese Exclusion Act and the prohibition of interracial marriages also effectively wiped out the Chinese community in North America from the ethnic level.

Because most of the Chinese workers who came to the United States were men, and their wives and children were staying in the country, the Chinese Exclusion Act blocked the path of Chinese workers’ families to the United States, and the decree prohibiting inter-marriage intermarriage cut off the marriage of Chinese workers in the local area. possibility.

In one or two years, the Chinese Exclusion Act expired, but then California Democrat Thomas Gerry proposed the harsher Jerrie Act on the basis of the original Chinese Exclusion Act. In addition to requiring all Chinese to register and receive residence permits, the law also deprives Chinese nationals of their personal security rights, that is, once Chinese are arrested, they will not be granted bail.

The original Gerry Act was also valid for ten years, but by 1902, the US Congress had turned it into a permanent bill.

By 1940, there were only more than 77,500 Chinese Americans in the United States, all of them gathered in Chinatowns around the world to make a living by operating various service industries.

The Chinese coolies are born at the bottom and have never received higher education. The same is true of their children. Not only can they not afford the tuition fees, but also ubiquitous racial discrimination, very few people can stick to high school.

At that time, the Chinese in San Francisco, in addition to operating daily necessities imported from China, were mainly involved in the laundry and catering industries, especially the San Francisco manual laundry business, which was almost monopolized by the Chinese.

The rest are some *** such as gambling stalls and brothels that can’t be brought on the countertop, and each entrance has been involved in the new narcotics business. .

"Marne is respected by all Chinese gangs. He has set rules for them and divided the sphere of influence. No one should break his rules, otherwise he will be severely punished. The Chinese both like him and are afraid He, they gave him the nickname "White Devil." Clay turned the steering wheel, and the car turned a corner and went up a ramp.

Jack Manny is indeed a ruthless character. His "China Town Squad" composed of five detectives is famous for his fierce style.

At the beginning of his tenure, Manny called all the leaders of the Tangkou meeting to ask Tangkou to stop the fighting in his area, especially to prohibit the sale of drugs and prostitution. Otherwise, he cleaned his **** and waited for jail. The government deported.

After the inspector took office, the street gangster fighting gradually disappeared in Chinatown, and the crime rate also decreased significantly. He controlled a large number of informants and monitored the criminal activities of the entire community. This senior US policeman Officials, have become the underground emperor of this community.

The gangster activities in Chinatown have been effectively curbed, and the entire community has gradually prospered. Because of the large number of restaurants, cocktail bars and coffee shops, as well as many underground casinos and strip clubs, Chinatown has become the most famous in San Francisco. Pinjin Cave and An Paradise.

Many years ago, the supervisor of Manny intended to transfer this superior supervision to the head of the General Administration. It is said that this proposal was unanimously opposed by the community of Chinatown. Eventually, the superior had to leave Manny in Chinatown.

"The old guy has been in this business for more than thirty years, of which fifteen years have been spent in Chinatown. Anything happening there can't escape the eyes of the white devil." After the road was clear, Clay My mood has become more comfortable.

"He is sixty-three years old this year. If you are in charge, where are you going to start? Buy him with money? To be honest, he should not lack this." Welbe took out a filter with a filter from the cigarette case. The cigarette, then flicked twice on the silver lid, which was embossed with a tooth claw Hydera.

"He's just an intermediate police officer, there should be a lot of things wanted." Cray answered with a shrug.

"As far as I know, his younger daughter has always wanted to study in Europe, and his elder son is serving in the US Marine Corps in the Philippines." Welbey pulled out the cigarette lighter that popped up and lit the cigarette in his hand. .

"I see, sir." Cray looked suddenly and cheerful.

"Look carefully at the way, Cray, we are already fifteen minutes late. I don't want to completely ruin the day's plan because of the traffic accident." Welbey spit out a smoke, and raised his hand to knock on the side of the door. board.
