The sun never sets in America

Chapter 83 Under Public Opinion

"Kill these bastards..."

"Damn it, why didn't you see that these Mexicans were so shameless?" Some people no longer recognize themselves as Mexicans.

"It's better to come from Han. If it weren't for them, we might still be deceived by these bastards!!" In the third row of the opera house, a resident of Shalin Town sighed to his friends.

"Yes, if it weren't for them, we don't know when the road in our town will be repaired." After hearing this, my friend immediately agreed.

In the last row, Erin said to Dave emotionally: "Dave, I've told you a long time ago that none of these guys are good. You just said you wanted to fight back. I think you must be crazy. If these guys come back again, they will definitely harvest our wealth again and take it to the big cities for their enjoyment like the above..." Erin talked to Dave on the side about the scene that had just been performed on the stage, about Han The drama of the Chinese army intercepting the gold and silver treasures of corrupt officials...

It was this play that ignited the anger of everyone in the opera house, including Irene, and the collective anger against the corrupt Mexican officials and the Mexican Republic.

Especially this kind of anger is completely different from what the Han Dynasty did in Shalin Town and even California.

Look at what the Han people did after they came, building roads and infrastructure that the city has not repaired for many years and is almost broken.

Re-drain and build water plants and even water pipes.

You must know that tap water does not seem to be a high-tech thing, but it is not something that ordinary places can have in the entire California area, or the entire Republic of Mexico.

There are some Indian iron mines in Salin Town, and there is a small-scale steel plant, which is somewhat valuable on the territory of California, so there is also a water plant and laid water pipes.

However, it is also in constant disrepair and is about to break down. Because the water pipes are aging, most of the water in the local tap water contains excessive metal.

It's okay once or twice, and people can resist it, but over time, they will definitely not be able to resist it.

Therefore, more than a dozen people die every year due to tap water.

Some families were so frightened that they could only fetch water from nearby rivers and transport it home for use. As for why not dig a well, the most important reason is that this is a mining area with iron ore underneath.

It's okay if you drill one or two wells, and there will be no impact. But if you drill too many wells, and even the whole town digs wells, the consequences will be serious.

And once the well-drilling begins, it will be difficult to finish. When the whole town comes to dig wells, how will they mine and make money?

So it happened that even though a number of people died every year because of the aging of the water pipes and excessive metal, they still had to drink it, for no other reason... the river was too far away.

As for the renovation of the water plant and water pipes, I'm sorry, these are the private property of Mr. So-and-so. If they touch it, it will be an infringement of private property.

And if they complain, the bastard boss will threaten to raise water prices.

So much so that many young people in Salin Town had to go to other white towns to seek life. Everything was forced and helpless! !

"Okay... that's great."

"Finally these bastards pay the price."

"They should have been killed long ago..."

Just when Dave didn't know how to answer what Erin just said, the entire opera house suddenly burst into warm cheers.

The cheers were for nothing else, but because just now on the stage, the Han army sent corrupt officials in Los Angeles to the guillotine.

Suddenly, a large number of heads fell to the ground.

Although they knew it was a prop, the audience in Salin Town in the opera house still cheered enthusiastically.

It was as if this cheering was their victory over the corrupt officials of the Mexican Republic...

The cheers continued intermittently for a few minutes before slowly stopping, but until the end, there were still people enthusiastically discussing what happened today, the abomination of the Mexican Republic, and the changing attitude towards the Han Dynasty and even the Chinese.

It can be said that a drama is better than countless slogans of Han propaganda.

After the repercussions of the drama in other places reached Xijing, Liu Peng immediately issued instructions to increase literary and artistic work, especially the exposure of the dark history of the Mexican Republic and the history of oppression of Indians.

We must let all people in Han, including Chinese, Indians, honorary Chinese, Indo-Europeans, and even whites, see the truth about the Republic of Mexico.

Recognize their evil and expose their ambitions for the Han Dynasty.

And how cruel it will be once the ambition is realized, not only the Chinese, but also Indians, even white people, and people with white blood will be liquidated.

To this end, Liu Peng produced multiple pieces of evidence to expose the fact that the Republic of Mexico intended to cleanse the California region.

The fact that the Republic of Mexico mortgaged the California area to a foreign bank was disclosed in the Dahan Daily, as well as the amount of the mortgage.

On the left side of the newspaper, there is also a comment from Liu Peng.

That is, once the Mexican Republic resumes its rule over California, everyone in the area will fall into poverty or even famine...

The most important reason for this is that the Republic of Mexico is heavily in debt. The fundamental purpose of borrowing money to fight the so-called war to recapture California is not to actually recapture California in the future. It is just to borrow money for them, and then embezzle money after borrowing it. Find a good and appropriate excuse.

Once the Republic of Mexico really resumes its rule over the California region, according to the agreement to mortgage it to foreign banks, the minerals in this area, especially the gold mines, will definitely be owned by the foreign banks and have nothing to do with the Republic of Mexico.

The Republic of Mexico paid such a high price. Although its real purpose in launching the war was to cooperate with the corruption of the aristocratic bureaucrats, the ultimate banner was to defeat the infidels, regain California, and regain Los Angeles.Such enthusiasm will dissipate. Once the war is over, the native people of the Mexican Republic who look back find that they only got a false name to regain territory in this war, but did not get any benefits. Even because of the mortgage, the largest wealth , the gold mine was also lost, so many people died for it, and the pensions owed to so many casualties and soldiers were not paid...

By that time, you can imagine what the Mexicans will do.

The consequences of the war were borne by them, and the funds for the war had to be recovered from the California area. And if there were no gold mines, would California still be called California? ?
For the California region during this period, losing gold mines was like losing its soul. This is no joke. For example, in the current Han Dynasty, at least [-]% of its finances are provided by gold mines mined and replaced in various places. , if there were no gold mines, not to mention military expansion and war preparations, even the money for immigration would probably not be enough.

From this point, we can see how important the gold mine is to the California region that currently has no industry. It can be said that it is the mainstay, without exaggeration! !

And the Mexican Republic, which has no gold mines, cannot get debt settlement, and soldiers' pensions, will definitely get it back from the Californians. This is for sure. You have to believe in the integrity of the Mexican Republic's bureaucrats.

It can be said that this fanciful comment Liu Peng published in Dahan Daily completely detonated the entire public opinion field in Han Dynasty. Everyone is talking about the consequences that will be faced if the war with the Republic of Mexico fails.

Especially those white people who originally hoped that the King of the Mexican Republic would come back directly shouted the slogan, eliminate the tyranny of Mexico, and victory belongs to the big man! ! !
There was even an upsurge of white people joining the Han army, catching everyone off guard.

For a time, the entire California region and the entire Han Dynasty had never been like this before. Public opinion was so directed towards the Han government. This was something that no one had ever imagined...

Later Han historian Luo Lingfeng studied this period of history and said:

"This is a strange history. A country that has just been born, a country with such a complex internal race and ethnicity. When faced with its former ruler, even his most loyal supporters turned away from him and began to hate him. He hates him...I don’t know what kind of power this is. Maybe this is the most puzzling and fascinating part of history.”

Wen Junyue, another history professor who became famous in later generations, said:

"The Second Emperor only used two plays and one newspaper to successfully arouse people's antipathy towards the Mexican Republic and bring about the fateful victory..."

"Throughout human history, we have seen many geniuses who are astonishingly talented, even shining like meteors, and streaking across the sky like meteors, as well as various princes and generals..."

"How to evaluate the second emperor, who used culture to conquer martial arts? He may be number one in the minds of many people, but in the eyes of different people, he is just one of the emperors throughout the ages, but if you ask me to say that he is... a conspirator, a A true conspirator, a complete conspirator!!”

"He is good at using visible and even invisible advantages to defeat his enemies, his competitors."

"In my opinion, manipulating public opinion may be just one of his many methods, or even just one of them!!!"

"The Second Emperor is undoubtedly a genius, a true genius, a genius who plays with people's hearts!!!"

"Of course, I am not belittling the Second Emperor, I am praising him, paying tribute to him, and paying tribute to our glorious and great fathers!!"

At the beginning of the 21st century, history professor Wen Junyue gave a lecture to students in a lecture class at Imperial University.

salsa...

The sound of filing continued in a European-style house built with red bricks.

A young-looking white man stood on a boring machine, constantly measuring to the accuracy he needed, and rubbing a piece of wood that looked like a musket with a file.

"No, it's not like that." Dave looked at the boring machine in front of him and the data he just measured, with a serious expression on his face.

"Damn, what went wrong..." Two hours later, Dave, who was sweating profusely, looked at the densely packed formulas written in his hands and the three-dimensional anatomy diagrams drawn on them.

Although the drawing above looks so lifelike under Dave's pencil, it even has an artistic feel.

But at this time, Dave was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of these drawings. Instead, he was rushing around the room like a headless fly. Even the sweat on his forehead was too late to wipe off, so he could only Watching the sweat flow from the forehead to the neck, flowing into the collar, and merging with the sweat on the body.

"Dave...Dave..."

"Dave are you home?"

Just as Dave was thinking hard, Erin's voice came from the door, waking up Dave who was still thinking hard.

"I'm at home, I'll come out right now." Dave, who heard Erin's voice, packed up his clothes that were wrinkled due to his busy schedule, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then walked out of the door.

"Dave, what are you doing? Why can't I see you these days?" Erin looked at Dave who opened the door and walked out, and immediately asked about recent events.

"I..." Dave was a little unable to speak, "I have been repairing the muskets left by my father recently." Dave couldn't stand being stared at by Eileen, so he immediately lied to Eileen, but after all, Dave was a You nerd, you lied so falsely. As soon as you finished lying, your face turned red and your hands trembled involuntarily.

"Dave, are you really just repairing the muskets your father left behind??" Erin looked into Dave's eyes with a very playful expression and said, "If I remember correctly, your father doesn't hunt much, right?" Eileen then asked Dave again. After she finished speaking, her eyes kept looking at Dave, especially Dave's hands that were shaking even more because of lying and the discomfort of being stared at by Eileen.

"I..." Dave was even more speechless.

"Haha..." Erin suddenly laughed, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore, tell me, what are you doing?" Erin asked Dave sincerely, looking directly at Dave, This made Dave even more embarrassed...

"I...I'm modifying the musket." Dave replied to Erin in a low voice.

"What, a musket?" Erin shouted to Dave in surprise, "Why do you want to modify the musket? Who are you going to kill?" Erin said to Dave in an incredible tone. To her, Dave She is usually a nerd who plays with mechanics, but now that she wants to modify the musket, her first reaction is that someone bullied Dave, forcing Dave to the point where he needs to use a gun to solve the problem.

"No, no..." Dave shook his head in fear when he heard Erin say that he was going to kill someone. "Didn't the newspaper say some time ago that if the Republic of Mexico comes over, once they win, even us white people, We have to be plundered and even bullied by them, so I think we should help the Han country defeat the Mexicans... After all, we are also Han people!!" Dave replied to Eileen with a sincere face.
