This feeling of being discriminated against will arouse the indignation of the people of California, which will in turn affect the keen "political sense" of Democratic politicians. Finally, it will also attract European powers to take advantage of the situation in the name of "humanitarianism" and "liberal democracy"

, put pressure on the White House and take advantage.

All these things have now begun. What Long Hao will do next is to fan the flames and let them start a prairie fire!

Ordering the army to stick to the city government and letting Chabot's troops do whatever they want in downtown San Francisco is one of the steps to fan the flames;

Assigning troops, dividing the guerrilla forces between Bresson and Giusimi, and irritating the other side is also one of the steps;

In short, Long Hao hoped that the 338e Division would be trapped in a quagmire-like protracted war in California, and would neither completely occupy San Francisco nor retreat from California.

The greater the damage done by the 338e Division in California, the greater the possibility that Long Hao will separate California from the territory of the Commonwealth of America.

At nine-twenty in the evening, the small town of Clinton suddenly became lively. To the east of the town, a small square usually used as a market had an influx of people carrying guns.

They cleared the square, brought in planks, and after a while, they built a small platform. Then, platoons of guns rang out in every street and corner of the town!

"The Earl of Beihai is going to give a speech. If you are interested, you can go and see it. It's in the small square!"

"This is a rare late-night speech. If you want to see the Earl's grace, don't miss it!"

"Are your family Chinese? The Earl is a leading fighter against racial discrimination. Why don't you go and support him?"

The sound of gunfire woke up the residents who had gone to bed early. The violent knocking on the door was accompanied by loud shouts in English, which shocked the people on the bed in the house until their limbs became cold and their lower bodies collapsed...

What? The Earl of Beihai has arrived in our town?

At what time is he going to give a speech?

Who is the person shooting and shouting outside? Are they soldiers of Earl Beihai?

The residents of Clinton Town were confused for a moment. The above thoughts kept coming to their minds.

At 9:45 p.m., the originally empty small square had become a sea of ​​people, buzzing with people.

Oil lamps were hung over the square and torches were lit, illuminating the simple podium under the night sky like day. A tall young Chinese man in a long gown stood in the center of the podium, like a bright moon star, attracting thousands of people.

Gaze.

A circle of soldiers carrying guns surrounded the podium, separating the crowd from the podium and maintaining order diligently.

Everyone in the crowd opened their eyes wide. Through private discussions, they already recognized or knew that the Chinese man on the stage was the legendary Earl of Beihai, Long Hao!

Long Hao stood still with a swaying body. He chuckled and said energetically: "Dear residents of Clinton Town, hello everyone, I am Long Hao! Welcome to listen to my speech..."

"Everyone must be very aware of the current situation in California. Yes, a federal army division has shamelessly invaded California. Not only did they attack San Francisco, but they also sent troops to raid villages and towns around San Francisco...

"

"As far as I know, in five days, this unit called the 338e Division has looted three towns and taken away countless properties from innocent residents..."

"This army is not only shameless. They are also well-equipped in numbers and equipment. They were once fighting heroes on the US-Mexico border, but now, because of the selfish desires of some people in the military, they have turned into bandits. They have turned into waving butcher knives towards their own country.

Citizen's uncorrupted robber..."

"I, Long Hao, have led hundreds of soldiers to deal with them in the past few days, trying to stop their banditry. Unfortunately, we have too few people and cannot completely stop them..."

"Look, the people holding guns under the stage are my heroic warriors. They are all more or less injured, but they have not retreated because they are representatives of justice and must not let the evil 338e Division succeed...

…”

"It's so late today. Why am I giving a speech? It's because I want your help. We are here to protect the town of Clinton. We are here to protect your sacred private property from being forcibly taken away by the 338e Division.

…”

"Some people may ask, the 338e Division is here to capture me. I, Long Hao, am the source of the war. As long as I am handed over, the 338e Division will stop the invasion! But is it really that simple? Dear residents, this is just a superficial phenomenon.

, they regard me as a thorn in their side because I advocate the Anti-Racial Discrimination Act and because I propose to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act. They are afraid. They are afraid that they will no longer be able to oppress Chinese and other people of color in the future, so they

That’s why he used such great force and wanted to strangle my efforts in the cradle..."

"Look down at yourselves, look at your skin color, and think about the unfair treatment you have suffered... The so-called U.S. Congress does not treat you as citizens, they just treat you as objects to be exploited. Look back

Take a look, are there a lot of empty houses in the town? Most of them are white people. They ran away early when danger came, but you still have to work for their factories in danger and continue to create for them.

High profits, haha, what a ridiculous thing this is..."

"I am not saying this to trick you into fighting for me. I, Long Hao, have my own soldiers. I am the Earl of North Sea conferred by the Queen of England and have the right to recruit my own troops! Residents, I don't need you to take up arms to resist the invaders.

Because what I have said is just a foreshadowing, next, I want to introduce to you a person, a Chinese, who is willing to manage the "anti-racial discrimination fund" for me and continue to fight for the eradication of all inequality... Today,

Residents present, no matter what your original position is, as long as you are willing to sign this "anti-racial discrimination" initiative, you will be rewarded by the fund! Haha, don't be excited, the specific reward matter is still

The fund's 'new steward' - Mr. Li Enfu will explain it to everyone!"

Long Hao's speech came to an end. The soldiers below walked up holding a 5-meter-long and 1.5-meter-wide red cloth. Also on the stage was Li Enfu, who held his head high and walked like a tiger.

Li Enfu listened in the audience. He was worried at first, but later he was moved by Long Hao's speech, and then he introduced himself. He couldn't help but feel a little awkward and shy, but... he was worried about the 'reward matter'.

He was so confused that he almost wanted to ask Long Hao: Hey, when did you say you wanted a reward? And this exaggerated red cloth, and you want to sign it so late. Does it make sense? Exaggeration, Earl, your shortcoming is too serious.

No matter where you go, you will create explosive topics, and the content inside is so exaggerated that it is surprising!

Before he could ask a question, Xiaoyu and Xiaoke behind him used their strength together to slap Li Enfu onto the podium with his 'cloud-dispelling palm'. As soon as he stepped onto the familiar podium, Li Enfu immediately tidied up his appearance and arranged himself in a reflexive manner.

The most glorious side was shown to the townspeople of Clinton, completely forgetting the question of 'exaggeration'.

Long Hao moved closer, whispered a few words to Li Enfu, and then stood up straight again.

Li Enfu was stunned by Long Hao's generosity, and generosity is a skill that can be learned without a teacher. So after Li Enfu briefly introduced himself, he said loudly: "The Anti-Racial Discrimination Fund is a reward for those who have done something to fight against racial discrimination."

People who have made outstanding contributions, this time. The Earl of Beihai thinks highly of me, Li Enfu, and specially made a reward offer. As long as you sign, you will get one dollar. If you can get your thumbprint, you can also get five dollars! I hope everyone will be enthusiastic...

"

The power of money is unparalleled. Without Li Enfu's mobilization, the townspeople below were excited: Wow, this is not in vain. Just write your name and you will get one dollar. If you stamp it with your fingerprint, you will get five dollars! Sign it, I want it.

Sign it, stamp it, I will stamp it with my fingerprint! Let those who insist on sleeping regret it!

In Clinton Town, all the people left at the moment are the lower class. There are not a few Chinese, and there are even many blacks. They are not opposed to "anti-racial discrimination" in the first place. What's more, now there is the temptation of money, so the scene has reached a climax immediately.

At the peak of the surge, people crowded together and rushed to the podium with all their strength, for fear that if it was too late, all the bonuses would be given out.

The soldiers tried their best to maintain order and ordered the townspeople to line up. On the podium, the big red cloth was stretched straight and displayed horizontally, and there were people holding brushes and ink pads next to them.

For every signature, Long Hao's subordinates issued U.S. dollars. When they saw the genuine U.S. dollars, the townspeople in the queue couldn't help but become more and more excited: The money signed was genuine, Earl Beihai, what a kind man! As for the objections

What kind of racial discrimination, haha, if it is not dangerous, I will definitely support it!

It's dark at night, but the temperature in Clinton's small square continues to rise. Many townspeople who have received money are still waiting to see if there will be another 'payment' program next, or they are sneaking around.

I got to the end of the queue and wanted to pretend again.

Well, it is. It is crowded with people and there are not many lights. Who can recognize whom?

"Clinton is ahead of us. Major General, do we want to attack?" Three kilometers outside the town, Commander Giusimi reined in his horse and asked Major General Miller.

"Why are you so anxious? Didn't you send a spy?" Miller gritted his teeth and paced back and forth holding on to the reins: "The other soldiers haven't arrived yet. If we scare the enemy and scare away the Earl of Beihai, are you responsible?"

"That's right, it's so late, if we can't form an encirclement, the Earl of Beihai can easily escape!" Captain Bresson echoed Miller.

The number of soldiers led by Major General Miller and the two regiment commanders was about 700. It was enough to rush directly into the town of Clinton. However, Miller's authority was growing day by day. He said no, Bresson

Neither he nor Kushimi dared to make decisions without permission.

This kind of authority was accumulated by burning, killing and looting all the way. Now every soldier of the 338e Division under Miller has his hands stained with the blood of civilians and his pockets are filled with civilian dollars...

Tan Ma came back soon, and the news he brought shocked the three of them.

"What? The town is giving out money?"

"The person who handed out the money is the Earl of Beihai? Are you sure?"

It was almost late at night, and there was actually a carnival party giving out money in the town. Giusimi and Bresson couldn't believe their ears: Is that Earl of Beihai a lunatic?

"No need to look in disbelief!"

Major General Miller remained calm and said with a smile: "You don't have much contact with the Earl of Beihai. He likes to waste money lavishly to support the scene, so this is good news for us, because the Earl of Beihai is indeed in the town.

!”

Tan Ma added: "There are too many people and I can't squeeze in. But I heard that the man who calls himself Earl of Beihai is swaying as if he is injured."

Major General Miller raised his hand and said: "That's even more correct. The Earl of Beihai is injured. He must be treated in Clinton Town. We will kill him right away!"

Kushimi asked: "Don't you have to wait for the soldiers from other routes?"

Miller laughed and said: "No need. The Earl of Beihai is seeking death. Now that he is distributing money in the town, the scene will be a mess. There are more than 700 of us. As long as we rush in at one go, they will have no room to organize defense and counterattack!"

Miller set the tone. The 338e Division broke out of camp and headed for the town of Clinton three kilometers away.

In the town of Clinton, there was no idea that the war disaster was about to come. The "Signature Bonus" activity of the "Anti-Segregation" Fund was still going on. The crowd surrounded the podium. At this time, the number of people was even greater than at the beginning.

Because many townspeople who had not come before were called up to come and collect the "free" US dollars.

Johnny is a black boy. He was born in the United States. His grandfather's father is an indigenous African. Today, his family is a citizen recognized by the United States.

At the age of 18, he didn't understand the anti-racialism theory. He didn't like reading and never went to school. He had been working in a local lumber mill in Clinton for five years since he was 13 years old.

. I earn a few tens of cents a day, but I can live a painless life.

As soon as work was over today, Johnny and the six members of his family had dinner, then went to bed early and went to bed until ten ten o'clock in the evening, yes. It was at this point that Johnny would never forget, this moment that changed his life.

At that time, Branto from next door knocked on the door of his house and shouted: "Some fool is giving out money. Come on, follow me. You all come. For six people, it will be at least 30 US dollars. If you are lucky, you can earn more."
To be continued...
