Chapter 150: Old things from back then are too painful to look back on

Mu Yuming's father, Mu Qing, as a descendant of the distant branch of the Mu family, originally worked as a technical officer in the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau of Tianmen City.Because he knew and spoke English, he was selected by the court to go to Seif and be responsible for weapons procurement.

At that time, the federal government had just finished fighting the Civil War two years ago. Because the war ended too quickly, many private military factories developed during the war accumulated large amounts of guns and ammunition.With the rapid changes of the times, the pace of human civilization on the road to death has gradually accelerated.This batch of arms that had just left the factory was eliminated by the new generation of domestic weapons, and unfortunately became the tears of the times.

Of course, there is nothing like arms that cannot be sold.War is never unreasonable. After all the tanks and artillery provided by allies have been squandered, it is not impossible to pull out five pairs of T34 wheels to fill the lines in the museum.

It's nothing more than selling faster and slower.

But for the owners of military factories, only by selling their goods as soon as possible can they control their cash flow and earn more profits.Selling slowly is a disguised loss.

At that time, the imperial court was at odds with Tsarist Russia in the north and was preparing to form a new army to use troops in the northwest.It just so happened that someone else was pulling the strings on Saifu's side. Under Lang Qing's concubine's will, the two parties hit it off and quietly negotiated a large arms order worth several hundred thousand taels of silver.

For such a large order, even if the guarantor's character and force are excellent, the court cannot be completely reassured and must send personnel to supervise it.

Mu Qing was responsible for such a job, and he had been doing it for more than [-] years, and he had never returned to his hometown once.

But luckily, not long after he came here, he found the woman of his dreams, got married and started a business, and his life was peaceful and uneventful.

In that era, the status of overseas Chinese was far less prominent than it is now.

Except for a very small number of Chinese who took the initiative to go to sea to make a living, the vast majority of Chinese gathered in Saifu were poor villagers along the coast. They were coaxed onto ships and then sold to the west coast of the Federation to build railways for foreigners and earn meager wages. .

When the railway was repaired, they were fired on the spot.Most people’s saved wages couldn’t even afford a return ticket, and the railway companies turned a blind eye.

Anyway, the railway is finished, and where these people die is none of my business.

A large number of Chinese are stranded in the local area and have to do everything possible to find jobs in order to make a living. This behavior undoubtedly seizes the living space of the original white people at the bottom and further aggravates racial conflicts.

Although keyboard historians in later generations have a hundred reasons to elaborate on this from different angles, they have never experienced this era anyway, so they can make up whatever they want.

As for Mu Qing, who was involved in the incident, he didn't have that much insight. All he felt was the shame that he would never forget.

"Your grandfather went to a restaurant to eat. He just arrived in Seif and didn't know where he could go or where he couldn't go. He randomly found a foreign restaurant and wanted to try the local specialties. As a result, the owner kicked him out and said that the restaurant We don’t accept yellow people here.”

"He was also very angry at the time, so he came back and told his friend about it. His friend took him to the restaurant again. Because his friend was very powerful in the local area, the restaurant owner did not chase people away this time. But after serving him the same dish, he made the same dish and fed it to the dog at the door in front of him.”

"He encounters this almost every day."

"Another time, because of work, he took a train to another state where there were very few Chinese people. He got off the bus and walked not far when he was surrounded by several country cowboys who took out their guns and tried to rob him. Even after he paid, the men refused to let him go, forcing him to kneel down and smearing the shit on their boots."

"This kind of thing would happen to a decent person like your grandpa, let alone the lower-class Chinese."

Mu Yuming put his hand on his daughter's head and sighed silently in his heart. He actually didn't want to tell Li Mumu these disgusting things.

"Do you know why this is happening?" Aren't the Angsa people just like this? What else could be the reason?
Li Mumu tentatively answered: "Because we were weak at the time?"

"This is one answer. There were actually two opinions at the time."

Mu Yuming said with a smile: "Back then, overseas Chinese were also thinking about how to change this harsh living environment. Some people felt that we were too weak and did not know how to resist, so foreigners would push forward and bully without restraint. us."

"But some people think that we ourselves are not doing well enough, we are not advanced enough, and we are not civilized enough. In the eyes of foreigners, we are cannibals, barbarians and backwards, so we are rejected by them."

"Judging from your answer just now, you prefer the first answer?"

"Isn't the second kind of person stupid?"

"They're not stupid."

Mu Yuming shook his head and said: "Actually, these two ideas have the same problem, that is, we always want to find the answer from ourselves. We Chinese have always been gentle and kind to others. When we encounter problems, we should first reflect on ourselves. Whether we feel that we are too weak, It’s still too backward, and there is actually no difference in essence. But look at those foreigners, when will they take the problem on themselves? Just repent if you do something wrong, and then do whatever you want.”

"No matter how hard your fists are or how famous your reputation is, you will always meet someone who doesn't know you. He doesn't know who you are. He only knows that you are as funny as a yellow-skinned monkey."

"No matter how standard your kneeling posture is or how humble your licking attitude is, foreigners can always find excuses if they want to cause trouble for you. They don't necessarily regard their own people as humans, let alone dogs?"

"This is not a personal issue, but a racial issue."

"A wolf will not respect a sheep."

"Even if Sun Wukong becomes the Monkey King, the monkeys on the ground will still be monkeys."

Mu Yuming looked at his daughter and said sincerely: "The reason why we can enjoy the same status as white people in Saifu today is not only the hard work of the overseas Chinese led by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce over the years, but the most important reason is because of us. The strength of the motherland.”

"We defeated Tsarist Russia in the northwest frontier, defeated Britain in the South China Sea, defeated Frank in the outer island chain, and defeated the Federation in the New World..."

"It is precisely because of these victories that when those proud foreigners communicate with us, they first eliminate the option of war in their minds."

"On the other hand, if our motherland is poor and weak and suffers repeated defeats, will our living environment still be as relaxed and bright as it is now?"

"Actually, there is no need to imagine. Are there only two ethnic groups in Seif, the Chinese and the whites?"

"Those Africans and Americans, some are immigrants who came by boat, and some are refugees who fled. Where is their motherland? No, they don't even have a motherland. Their hometown is a colony of the great powers."

"Can they be considered human beings? Mumu, tell me, when I asked you this question just now, did you regard them as foreigners in your mind?"
