Chapter 676

In the California State Council Chamber of the State Government, a crystal chandelier swayed in the sound of gunfire. Governor Weller was in the undrying Manifesto, and every word on it scared the California Democratic politician.

"What's going on? How did the anti-China be said to have turned into a revolution?" Weller threw the leaflet on the face of former governor Bigler. "It's the Manifesto again! It's the workers' regime again! Tell me what's the difference between this and Paris in 1848.::::.Who are you working with? Irish unions, or a thug from Europe?"

"This, this...\n...\n:" Bigler trembled and took the flyer that Weiler threw over, and the cold sweat on his forehead also burst out. Irish unions and European revolutionaries...:::.They seem to be the same thing!

Looking back at the European Revolution in 1848, isn’t that the Revolution of 1830 and the Charter Movement of Britain? Carney, a worker leader from Ireland in his fifties, had almost 100% participated in the Charter Movement, and there is still a high probability that he would have participated in the Revolution of 1848.:::

"Damn!" Bigler was so angry that he trembled with anger. "I was deceived by that Irish bastard...:::. He didn't want to disagree with China at all. He just wanted to replicate the 1848 revolution in California!"

When Weiler heard him say this, he happened to see the black smoke rising outside the window and the workers lit the state library with kerosene. The California governor rolled twice and was about to declare a state of emergency, a secretary rushed in: "State, Governor...\n... The union sent negotiators, and the leader of the Irish Brothers union, Carney."

"He should be arrested immediately!" Bigler roared.

But he is not the governor now, so the secretary stood there motionless.

"Please come in!" Weiler was not dizzy at all.

Nowadays, California has the largest Chinese population and the second most Irish people...\n. He is now going to dispel China and has already had a stumble with the Chinese! If the leader of the Irish people is captured, then he, as the governor, will become the first governor in American history to be driven out of the state capital by the states...

Carney looked a little embarrassed. The Irish union president's baseball cap was thrown where it was exposed, with mud on his half-bald head. He seemed to have not expected that the strike would suddenly lose control. Although he called Zhao Si "Gennoser", he did not intend to launch an armed uprising. What he wanted was an economic strike to seek greater economic benefits for his Irish brothers.

But unexpectedly, this worker lost control after giving up and turned into a revolution!

And this time, I really can't blame him for losing control!

When I took the leaflet, the Irish worker leader's fingers trembled violently on the words "Carney, Chairman of the Workers' Committee", and they all sealed him with the chairman! This is to send him to the gallows!

"This is a conspiracy of the Chinese Federation of Workers, I don't know about this..." Carney betrayed immediately!

"Now, it's useless to say this!" Seeing Carney "rebellion", Governor Weiler suddenly became excited.

"Let your workers go back to work!"

"I can't go back..." Carney suddenly pulled her collar open, revealing the purple pinch marks on her neck. "Just just now, I wanted to persuade the workers to go home, but they almost strangled me to death..."

"Strange you?" asked Bigler, "Why? Are you not their leader?"

"Sir, do you know how much flour costs a barrel now? Fifteen dollars! And eggs...:...it's a dollar now!" Carney said, "The prices have risen crazy these two days, and the workers are not going to have enough food!"

"What?" Weiler was shocked, "What's going on? Why are prices so high?"

He, the governor, seems to be a man who doesn't buy vegetables or cook. He has been busy planning anti-China and dealing with the gradually out of control strikes these two days, and has never cared about prices at all.

The loud noise of bricks and stones shattered outside the window. The California Treasury Secretary knocked open the door and reported in panic: "State, the governor's militia fired at the parade! Workers used explosives..."

When Weiler rushed to the window, he saw the state flagpole falling down. More than 20 Irish miners in Hongtou City pushed their carts to the Parliament Square, which were filled with detonators. The rifled guns of the state militia hit the iron sheet of the carts and sparks were splashed everywhere, but they could not stop the group of hungry and red-eyed mobs.

"Stop them!" Weller's roar was swallowed by the explosion, and the closed door of the California Capitol fell down amid the explosion...:::

Carney's trembling voice rang in Governor Weller's ears: "Mr. Governor...:::.If prices cannot be lowered, no one can control the crazy Irish people.::::.The prices in California now remind them of the Great Irish famine! This is a nightmare for all Irish people! We have really been hungry...\n.\n"

Weller trembled and said, "Let's go and invite Mr. Stanford, Mr. Huntington, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Crocker to the state government... hurry!"

When Leland Stanford entered the door, the California mining tycoon was still stuffed with an accountant's report to him this morning. His Stanford company had just made a profit of $100,000 from the price increase of essentials such as flour, eggs, beef, butter, salt, etc.! This price...:::. It's soaring!

By the way, the current dollar is not an unsecured banknote, but a hard currency that is truly linked to gold! Holding the black-hearted dollar you earned in California, you can exchange gold for the Federal Reserve!

"What? To calm prices?" Lelan Stanford was inexplicably surprised when he heard Weller's request, "Governor, this is the United States!"

Collis Huntington, who came with Stanford, was also shocked and said, "Yes, this is the United States... How can you ask merchants to lower prices? Who gives this power?"

Mark Hopkins nodded and said, "Price is determined by the supply and demand relationship, and now it is less than demand...:::. Price increases are spontaneously generated by the market to regulate supply. If you want to stabilize prices, you must increase supply or suppress demand!"

"Increase supply? How to increase it?" Weiler asked.

The big boss of Crocker National Bank said: "More than 70% of the food supply in California is controlled by Chinese people.::::. If beef, milk, butter, and potatoes are excluded, that is 90%, among which vegetables, eggs, chicken, fish, rice, salt and spices are 100%!"

"Chinese..." Weiler gritted his teeth, "How about confiscating the Chinese farm?"

"That's private property!" California's attorney general weakly reminded, "And you don't have the power to confiscate anyone's property, only the court can...

Yi Weiler's anger suddenly burst out halfway---This is the United States!

The government confiscates private property without going through court trials... It is simply a violation of the laws of heaven! Even the private property of Chinese people is also a violation of the laws of heaven. You can confiscate Chinese people today, but you may confiscate white people tomorrow! Are you, the governor, studying the European revolution at home every day?

Of course, the government cannot confiscate it, and white mobs can buy it for zero yuan by themselves... But now there are more Chinese in California than white people, and everyone has guns and is well organized, so it seems that they can't beat it!

"How about wartime requisition?" former California Governor Bigler whispered, "Under Article 7 of the California Militia Act of 1850..."

"Item 7 says that the property of the rioters is requisitioned!" The owner of Crocker National Bank sneered, "The people who are causing trouble now are the Irish people.::::.I am very worried that the next time the Irish people riot again, who else will you collect?"

Crocker's concerns are of course reasonable. One is that the food in the Chinese farm is sold to him and the Stanford family, the Hopkins family, and the Huntington family to sell it at high prices. How can the state government confiscate it? If the state government confiscates the grain and sells it at a fair price, the four major families will lose money!

What are you, the former governor, thinking? Is he a revolutionary?

Weiler wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Then send a subsidy...:::.Reduce the food price first, otherwise those Irish thugs will go crazy!"

"Where does the money come from?" The leaders of the four major families spoke in unison.

"Auction gold mine!" Bigler's eyes were bleeding, "There are many gold mines in Northern California controlled by the people of the True Relations 2

"No court judgment is robbery!" Stanford's civilization stick knocked the marble floor tiles, "Today can the gold mine controlled by the Chinese be confiscated, what about tomorrow?"

Huntington continued this and said, "Can we confiscate the black slaves of the southern slave owner tomorrow?

1

This road is not clear! Southern Democrats must rebel when they hear the "confiscation of black slaves".

"Why would you like to ask the Federation for help?" Mark Hopkins said, "It was originally the Federation that asked us to dismiss China. Now that the anti-China line has become a revolution, the Federation must bear the responsibility...::.\n. Either provide subsidies or take back the Anti-China Act!"

"Retract the Chinese Exclusion Act?" Bigler looked at Hopkins in surprise, "Mark, what are you talking about?"

Mark Hopkins shrugged: "Sir, isn't the situation obvious now? Anti-China has caused prices to soar, and the soaring prices have made the Irish people unable to eat. Irish people who cannot eat want to riot. To suppress the riot, prices must be lowered. It is unlikely that lower prices will be lowered without Chinese...:::. The only way is to take back the "Anti-China Act"?"

"There is another way!" Bigler said, "On the surface, this riot was initiated by the Irish people, but in fact it was manipulated by the Chinese true corps. :::. We can announce that what happened in California was a Chinese rebellion, so that state soldiers could be mobilized to suppress the Chinese. At the same time, we will negotiate with Hong Renzheng to force him to hand over enough food to atone for his sins!"
