Chapter 72 Slicing Sausages
Subtitle of this chapter: The historical trend is vast and powerful
………………………………………
"Mr. President, what do you want to do? Hahaha..." Mr. Doherty, who can be the Attorney General, is naturally qualified to be a lawyer. He replied with a smile without thinking: "This guy is leaving himself out. What he means is that he is not drinking heavily in public."
That’s right, this is what our Master Yuan means. And from a legal perspective, he is talking about “facts”.
He did not organize so many people to watch the duel, and he did not publicly call on everyone to watch, nor did he charge tickets. Of course, it was a little bit more forced to say "coincidence", but Yuan Yanshu could have argued that he didn't know so many people were here in advance.
So anyone who has some legal knowledge here praised his statement.
"Yes, the weather is so good today, so I took my family out for a walk."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Yuan is right. Is it a complete coincidence that we meet here?"
"That's right, if Mr. Yuan needs proof, I voluntarily testify in court."
How to say it, in fact, there are "heroic complexes" that challenge public power deep in human beings. This is why "Water Margin" can last forever in Cyris, and this is why the American people like or even worship criminals like Al Capone.
So when faced with such an occasion, the American people naturally stood on Master Yuan’s side.
Yuan Yan suddenly raised his hand and said, "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for your honesty..."
When the noise around him was not so loud, he spoke again: "Then I will honestly tell you the cause of this duel. The cause is that Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander and I both think that the other country is not civilized enough."
"There are many people, including the respected President Harding, who can testify for me. I admitted on the spot that my country is indeed not civilized, but Lieutenant Colonel Alexander refused to admit that his country was barbaric, even if the tragedy of "Bloody Sunday" occurred in Ireland, the hometown of Lieutenant Colonel, not long ago. So today's duel came."
"I think a true patriot not only needs to safeguard the honor of his country, but also face the shortcomings of his country. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander is undoubtedly a patriot, but he can only do the first half. This is the biggest difference between me and him... Well, there is another difference that I drink better than him."
"Hahaha...she...she..."
Our Master Yuan’s “sincerity” speech immediately aroused laughter and applause.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I believe that all of you are real patriots, so you can definitely listen to some criticisms from me, the Chinese, about your country... Of course, if any of you are not convinced, we have to have another duel."
"I want to tell you a story that happened in our Chinese history. About 1,700 years ago, when Caracala and Geat jointly ruled the Roman Empire, there was a monarch named Bei-Liu in China. At that time, a drought occurred in his country, which caused a food shortage. In order to ensure the supply of food, all by-products related to food, especially wine, were all prohibited, and brewing wine was a criminal act."
"However, there has been an excessive phenomenon in the implementation of this decree. If officials search for winemaking tools in the homes of ordinary people, even if there is no winemaking behavior, they must be dealt with according to law. This practice naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the people, so Yong Jian, a minister of Liu, wanted to dissuade him from this decree."
"One day, their monarch and ministers went out together and saw an unrelated pair of men and women walking on the road. Yong Jian suddenly said, "This pair of men and women is suspected of being injustice. Why don't you tie them up quickly?" Bei-Liu was stunned. He asked, "One man and one woman walk on the street in a proper manner, and no one is offended. Why do you say that people will be injustice?"
"Yong Jian immediately said something very inspiring: 'Because they have equipment to commit adultery, is this different from having tools to make wine at home that may lead to illegal winemaking?'"
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is certainly no problem in pursuing virtue. The problem is the way we pursue virtue. Finally, I want to give this sentence to everyone."
"belch!"
Yuan Yan suddenly burped a big hiccup, and he said in an apology: "Sorry, I drank five bottles of whiskey, and my mind was a little confused."
"Now I'm going to go to the police station to have a sleep. There is definitely not as comfortable as my hotel rooms, but they must be more quiet. Thank you!"
As he said that, he bowed a few times to the surroundings, and then walked towards the police in Fort Myer.
Why did our Master Yuan suddenly fire at the Prohibition?
This was not his whim, but he had such an idea very early on. However, he never encountered the right opportunity, and now it is a god-given opportunity.
The reason is that the more he studied American political context in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the past few months, the more he discovered that the water behind the ban on alcohol was deeper.
He came to a very important conclusion that the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Prohibition of Wine, two things that seem to be incompatible, are actually inseparable from both sides of the same body.
It can even be said that the pre-emptive assignment to abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act is to overturn the ban on alcohol.
Yuan Yanshu believes that the Chinese Exclusion Act and the ban on alcohol are actually both xenophobic and anti-immigration policies promoted by WASP. Of course, the former is very obvious, while the latter is relatively obscure.
The Seris said that the country would not enter a dangerous country, and the country would not live in a chaotic country. The Europas were not Shabi who could not see the direction of the wind. They did not know that the battle would be so tragic, but everyone could smell the smell of gunpowder between European countries at that time.
In fact, more than ten years before World War I, America ushered in another climax of immigration. This time, the people who came mainly from Southern and Central and Eastern Europeans who were "lower" than the Irish people.
You should know that Germans who had previously immigrated to the United States were basically oppressed Protestants, and Anglo, Saxon and Germanic were a family of 1,500 years ago.
Although the Irish, that is, the Celtics, believe in Catholicism, they speak at least English. After so many neighbors have come to this stage, many cultural customs are similar to WASP.
However, no matter in terms of appearance, language, custom, and especially religion, the later new immigrants were even more different from WASP.
Therefore, WASP is even more dissatisfied with this group of immigrants and discriminated against them. The subsequent immigration policy will naturally be tighter. After 1925, any foreigner who goes to the United States must first go to the local consulate to apply for a visa, and no longer can be on-site visas like before.
The prohibition of alcohol is actually a means to suppress foreign immigrants and Catholics, and it is also the final struggle of WASP to prevent America from changing its transformation... Well, the color change.
In the 1930s, the FDR lifted the ban, which meant that the "100-year sausage cutting movement" had its first cut. At that time, WASP had to accept that other white people would become the American nation that could still be called white.
In the 1960s, General Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, and blacks finally became a member of this "imagined community."
By the time of Bill Clinton's reign in the 1990s, the Mexicans officially joined the American family.
Obama came to the stage and explained that this sausage has almost been cut to its roots. The American nation has completed its historical mission and ushered in a "new life". They will "sublimate" to global citizens who have no national identity at all but only value identity.
However, if you step too big, it is easy to pull the eggs. No matter how good the world is, it will not have the function of bleaching. So in the 21st century when white Americans are about to become ethnic minorities, the descendant of my Emperor Trump, the German descendant, became the last hope of the American white-skinned red-necked people.
