Chapter 166 The White House has no choice

"I seem to be getting smarter now."

Although it is a cell used to temporarily detain prisoners, considering Charlotte's identity, the layout inside is still acceptable, and this has made Charlotte, who has been able to sleep on thatch for many days, feel much better... It hasn't been so comfortable and so at ease for a long time. Although Guo Jinzhang and others never said that they wanted to kill him or her after leaving the Donner Tunnel, and no one was too idle to threaten him, it doesn't mean that Xia is not allowed to say anything else.

Lott himself wouldn't think... He knew very well how deep the hatred between him and the Chinese workers was. Originally, when he was "betrayed" by Angelo and others to the Chinese, he had already lost his wish to survive, and even prepared to be tortured by the Chinese. However, at Angelo Ranch, Guo Jinzhang executed Dennis and spared him; in the Donner Tunnel, he said that he was going to cut him, but he spared him... As a result, his deceased ambition was wiped out like this - he wanted to live!

This is a wonderful hope.

Pandora opened the magic box and released countless sins, making people full of despair, but it was precisely because of the last hope that people stubbornly continued in this world.

So, hope is beautiful. But the problem is that sometimes, hope also represents fear!

Because, although the Chinese did not kill him, they would kill him at any time! The feeling of being shrouded in the shadow of death, the nerves were tight, and even unable to sleep well. Even if there was a slight noise, the feeling of being able to wake up quickly was even more uncomfortable than death. Sometimes, Charlotte even felt that it was better to die. However, this feeling often came out and was squeezed aside by the hope of survival... The Chinese had never killed him, and maybe they really didn't kill him?

From the Donner Tunnel to California, the Chinese workers actually only walked for less than two weeks. But in this short period of time, Charlotte lost weight and was afraid of people... The Chinese did not have him or were hungry. He could eat two and a half pieces of uncooked beef every day, but there was no salt. This didn't matter. The mayor usually likes to eat steaks with only five matures. Although the beef given by the Chinese is probably only three matures, it does not hinder anything. The key is fear.

If it weren't for Joni and those guys who had been chattering around him, Charlotte wouldn't know if he could have survived those ten days.

"After that being said, I don't know how those little bandits are doing."

Lying in the clean and comfortable bed without the fear of losing his life at any time, Charlotte was extremely relaxed. However, although he had not slept well for more than ten days, he did not feel sleepy at all, but was very energetic.

"From the perspective of human psychology, consider the problem from other people's perspectives, and use vague explanations to create an environment that is beneficial to me. After this time, I should be fine, right?"

Charlotte did not waste much time on the unlucky cowboys. He was recalling his conversation with the two big men in San Francisco... Having stood at the police station for half an hour was not in vain. Although this period was not long, the time he had been hiking from Chinatown was enough for him to think of many things.

After escape from the Chinese tiger's mouth, he could not fall into another wolf's den... So, before calling the police officially, he began to think about how he should speak to be the best for him and how he could not be liquidated: there is nothing to say about the hatred between him and the Chinese, and it is certain that nothing is useless to say. But that doesn't matter. As long as the white man wins the final victory, no one will use these things to say... Because at that time, neither Washington nor other regions would allow such a matter of Chinese resistance to continue to spread. In that case, there is little chance that he would be accused. Even if there is, the relevant parties will deal with it in a low-key manner, and there is no possibility that he will be severely punished. This is why he has been mayor for several terms.

Therefore, at this stage, what he needs to be cleared most is the charge of participating in the murder of Grant Grant. Yes, this charge has not actually appeared. It was just Angelo and others who were fooling around, arrested him for a crime of sufficient weight and gave it to the Chinese to relieve themselves. But he knew that if the guys in Denver knew that they had survived from the Chinese, they would definitely turn these into facts as soon as possible, and even create some false evidence. He is now in California, and his personal freedom has been affected, and the emperor is far away, so he cannot affect Denver at all. Therefore, he must give people an impression: he has never murdered the governor, although Grant did die under his nose!

"No one wants to take responsibility, especially me, the initiator. If you blame me, you can only blame yourself for being useless. If you can defeat those Chinese people at the beginning and destroy them, how could I have a chance?"

Charlotte slowly let out a sigh. Killing Grant was actually just a sudden idea at that time. He remembered clearly that it was when the Chinese defeated three thousand militiamen, threw away the body of the Arkansas River, and then destroyed Pueblo, set fire to the city, and were about to approach Colorado Prince. At that time, Grant had long been scared by the Chinese's fierceness, and only knew how to run away... The Chinese were still far away, so he had already left Colorado Prince and ran towards Denver.

It would have been fine. Some people act so amazing and powerful when they are fine, but they don’t even use it at all when they encounter something. Although Charlotte doesn’t look down on Grant, he doesn’t want to kill him. The key is that Grant actually asked him to support Colorado Prince!

Go to his m's emperor!

The Chinese had long been so angry that they wanted to kill all the white people in Colorado, avenge their more than a thousand brothers who died, and let him fight those lunatics head-on at that time? Why don't you go?

But he dared not refuse!

Simon Wilson, the state prosecutor, came forward to warn him that if he didn't go, then there would be a trial... They would send him to jail for the rest of their lives!

So, he had to take people to support the city that was already panicked and almost scared by the group. As a result, just halfway through, he met Grant who was running for Denver!

Both of them passed by without saying anything!

Then he sent someone to tell Dennis, who had never been disconnected from him since the beginning of Gunnison, that this was the best time to get pardons, get rid of his wanted criminal status, and even enter the straitor.

Afterwards, Dennis quickly attacked and followed his guidance...yes, it was his guidance. The Chinese were already red-eyed at this time, and after losing 3,000 militias in Colorado, no longer had a built-in team to compete with. Moreover, the Denver militias he led also had extremely fearful memories of the Chinese. Half of the road had been deserted, and most of them were unwilling to go to Colorado Prince to "seek death". So, simply, he ordered that these militias choose to advance or retreat by themselves. As a result, in the blink of an eye, there were only less than thirty people left, and these people were all his former subordinates. What was this enough? To stuff the Chinese people's teeth? So, he also retreated. Without joining the retreating militias, he secretly stuck behind Grant.

After that, it became simple. Dennis received the pardon he wanted, and he also received the news of his political enemy's death.

Originally everything was moving in a good direction: Grant died, and facing the fierce faces of the Chinese, Simon Wilson and others were not in the mood to argue with him anymore, including the lieutenant governor, those people were running away. And he naturally took over the temporary power of Denver and even Colorado! As long as he could withstand the Chinese and keep Denver, everything in his past would be written off and he could still go to another level.

Originally, he had a good chance.

First, he worked hard to protect Denver, and then cooperated with reinforcements from all over the country and the army sent by Washington to encircle and annihilate the Chinese people in a forward and backward manner. He would definitely be a hero who turned the tide. Unfortunately, he did not expect that those reinforcements were idiots with high expectations.

The Army did not say that, but they were captured without a single shot; militias from all over the country were regarded as vanguards of attacking Denver by the Chinese, and eventually he led Denver citizens and the Chinese to "annihilate" them outside the city of Denver.

And he, the mayor who should have become a hero, was treated as an abandoned son by his own people because of his past hatred with the Chinese, in order to use his life to calm the anger of the Chinese.

...

"I don't know how Fihana and Austin are doing at home. Angelo's bastards promised me must have not done anything. The mother and son are definitely not doing well now."

A hint of enthusiasm appeared in the corner of Charlotte's eyes. He now wanted to go back to Colorado to see his wife and children. He was arrested and taken to walk for such a long time. During this period, the two relatives he thought about the most. Unfortunately, he knew that before the incident in California had a result, he would definitely not have the chance to return to Colorado.

"We Chinese have a relatively common execution plan for criminals who are extremely guilty: I am cut into pieces and all the people in the family will be executed! If you dare to ask San Francisco to target the Chinese here, especially those on Chinatown, I promise you will be punished the same."

What Guo Jinzhang said when he released him appeared in front of Charlotte again. This is a very threatening threat. Because the person who initiated the threat is in California. If there is no accident, this person is likely to die eventually... How can the dead threaten others? But Charlotte knew that he was caught.

This seemingly impossible threat made him dare not pass any through any trace of it. He would never reveal all the news about Chinatown in San Francisco. At least, he would never do this until he was convinced that the man was dead. Because he knew that he could not afford the possible consequences.

"I have now pushed all the charges on Dennis, and Dennis has been executed by the Chinese. Although he may still have his subordinates alive, those people may not know the role I played in the murder of Grant. Even if I know, they must not be very clear and cannot form effective evidence. In comparison, although Angelo's people may have mastered something, they gave a mayor directly to the Chinese, which is suspected of murder. Therefore, we should be afraid of each other. Once we go to court, we may suffer both losses. But I am just one person, but they are a group, and their losses will be greater... So, if I show my willingness to reconcile, they will definitely not dare to continue to pursue it. Even if I act a little tougher, they should give some compensation."

Shaking his head and throwing the Chinese affairs aside. Charlotte really doesn't want to consider anything about Chinese people now... because the more he thinks, the more frustrated he feels in his heart and the worse his mood will be. When he thinks about Chinese people, the only one who can make his mood slightly improve and talks about self-deprecating is that his IQ seems to have increased a little after several confrontations with Chinese people... Thinking of this so-called increase in IQ is just a pain after suffering great losses in the hands of Chinese people, and his mood will quickly get worse again.

"It's better to fight against white people. Because at least you can understand what the other party is thinking. Moreover, even if you fail, you won't lose too badly, at least you won't lose your life... Can San Francisco stop those guys this time? If you can't stop it, I'll have to find an opportunity to run faster and not be caught by the Chinese again. Who knows if they will let me go again?"

"But the first two times the Chinese let me go can still say that they just want to leave safely and don't want to stimulate the government too much. Why did they let me go this time? They have obviously killed so many people..."

***************************************

Washington, White House.

President Hayes was staring at his men with a dark face.

The Chinese finally arrived in California! Not only that, they also hid in California... This was contrary to the situation they had originally expected!

According to their original idea, after the Chinese arrived in California, they would immediately attack several major cities in California like they were in Colorado, like they were in prairie fire and crazy wolves!

The consequences of that situation are terrible.

California is the largest state on the west coast of the United States. It not only has the largest economic proportion, but also has the largest population. Once this state is attacked and several major cities are attacked, the entire west coast of the United States will be shocked, and the country's rule there will be severe challenges. In addition, the most important thing is that the Chinese will be greatly supplemented there... San Francisco alone, there are tens of thousands of Chinese; in addition, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, these areas have a large number of Chinese people living in, all of which are no less than 50,000, and it may even reach a huge amount of 70,000 to 80,000!

Seventy or eighty thousand!

Less than a thousand Chinese people have already roamed the Midwest, which has caused their dignified US government a headache. If the Chinese organize a larger team, even if they are only one-fifth or one-tenth of the total number of Chinese people, it will be an unimaginable disaster. Think about the oppression that Chinese have been in the United States over the years. Once those Chinese show their hideous fangs, how many Chinese living in California will participate in them? One-tenth or one-fifth?

Will they face a Chinese army with more than 50,000 people at the end?

The scene was chilling just thinking about it!

You know, the reason why they introduced Chinese workers in large numbers was to build the Pacific Railway. Therefore, almost 100% of the Chinese were adult men, and they were all strong adult men. These are the most suitable sources of soldiers!

Of course, these are just the worst situations. No matter how many Chinese people are, there are not as many white people. Once the Chinese attack, the California government will definitely change its previous careless attitude and take it seriously. The fierceness of the white people in the west is not something that can be concealed. Although they may not be able to stop those guys who walked out of Colorado, they should be more than enough to deal with ordinary Chinese people. As long as there is no big accident, the situation should be finally controlled.

But now the Chinese did not launch an attack as they expected...the guys actually hid.

snake!

Viper!

As soon as he received an urgent telegram from the Mexican Embassy, ​​such a word appeared in President Hayes' mind.

"The Chinese once again escaped our expectations. They are now like a group of dangerous venomous snakes peeking on one side of San Francisco, and they may launch a fatal blow at any time!... This is even more terrifying than launching a direct attack on San Francisco. Because their existence will directly affect the social and economic operations of the entire California. Even if they just stay there, it will cause huge losses to the entire state of California!... Gentlemen, tell me, what should we do?"

"When will the Army arrive in California?" Everte did not look at Hayes, but directly chose Alexander Ramsey, the Minister of War.

"It will take at least half a month. This is the fastest speed. There is heavy snowfall in the mountains of Nevada again, and even God is helping the Chinese!" Ramsey replied.

"Why should the Chinese release the mayor of Denver?" Brian sat on the sofa, and he was the most leisurely among everyone. The Speaker, who is not a member of the government, cannot fall on him no matter how high the responsibility is. In fact, Hayes came to him just to ask him to help coordinate the relationship between all parties.

"If I'm not wrong, the Chinese want to use him to lure people from San Francisco or other places to take action, and then take the opportunity to eliminate them... They don't have many people, this is the most effective, safest and most direct way to shock California. Just like they caught our army soldiers and shocked Denver," Ramsey said with a hatred.

"Did we just have to watch it?" Everet shouted.
Chapter completed!
