Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Originally, due to the Spanish-American War, the Spanish fleet appeared and disappeared on the east coast, which made the tense nerves of the Americans very fragile. This move by the Chinese made the fragile nerves of the Americans collapse. When the news came, how many nervous citizens A great mental confusion and commotion was created in the mind that might not have been commensurate with the attack.

Citizens everywhere imagined that the United States and China were at war, that the two countries were about to start a war, that the coast was bombarded, that the Chinese were sweeping in like locusts, and that both the army and the navy heard the frenzied cries to defend the coast.

Secretary of the Army Russell Alger complained to Roosevelt: "The urgency of the call for immediate action by the War Department against the Chinese fleet in Hawaii is saddening. Telegrams, letters, and politicians representing threatened areas poured in. War Department. Everywhere demanded the issue of guns, and demanded that every river and port that could be found on the map be mined."

Nervous West Coast financiers relocated 50 miles inland for fear of the safety of their investment bonds.

Roosevelt really did not expect the Chinese to have such a deterrent power. On the one hand, he publicized to the public that China and the United States are friendly countries, and China has no possibility of attacking the United States.

On the other hand, he proposed to the government: a large number of old Civil War guns were distributed all over the coast, aiming pointlessly at the vast Pacific Ocean.

While Roosevelt was still thinking about something, McKinley had finished his speech and had already entered the Oval Office.

He looked vigorously at the desk in the corner, and said with a smile to the secretary next to him, "Rearrange the desk, yes, let's put it over there."

Roosevelt was interrupted by McKinley from his reverie, he rushed forward and congratulated: "William, congratulations on being elected president."

McKinley hugged him with open arms, and replied with a smile: "Theodore, my friend, thank you for your support."

"Mr. President, I have to tell you something bad. Eight German warships sailed into Philippine waters." Roosevelt said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Germans, what does William II have in mind? Does he want to reap the fruits of our victory?" McKinley said displeased.

"I'm afraid so, President." Roosevelt said seriously.

"We must send the army to occupy these guys who are taking advantage of the fire." McKinley raised his hand fiercely.

Roosevelt said unwillingly: "I'm afraid not, Mr. President, because our homeland is under pressure from others, and the people may not agree that we don't protect the homeland and invade the Far East."

"Don't talk to me about that piece of shit in the Far East again. If he hadn't staged a coup, we Americans would have already obtained the pearl of the sea." McKinley said bitterly.

Ye Zhikui took the opportunity to occupy Hawaii, as if he had captured the American penis, as long as he pulled it a little, they would feel very painful.

"Does this lunatic have to help the Spaniards deal with us?" McKinley continued to ask angrily.

Roosevelt smiled wryly, and said, "That guy even sent a telegram this morning, congratulating you on being elected President of the United States."

The implication of Roosevelt's words was that Ye Zhikui was a bastard who took whatever advantage he had, put interests first, and would not favor any side.

"If he can withdraw troops from Hawaii, I will be more grateful to him." McKinley vented his depression, and his mood calmed down a little.

"Are we going to bring back the Far East Detachment?" McKinley asked Roosevelt and himself.

Roosevelt shook his head and said: "The Far East Detachment is not the opponent of the Chinese North Sea Fleet, unless the North Atlantic Fleet is dismantled and part of it is sent back to deal with the Chinese together with the Far East Detachment. There's a war between the Spaniards."

The U.S. Navy was caught in a dilemma, and Roosevelt discovered that the U.S. Navy was too weak, and the blame could only be blamed on the previous U.S. presidents, who told them to cut down the Navy’s military spending when they were in office.

"No, Theodore, we must first stabilize the Chinese and settle Spain as soon as possible, so that we can concentrate our forces in the Pacific Ocean." McKinley immediately calmed down and continued: "First of all, we neither recognize the establishment of the Kingdom of Hawaii, nor They did not speak provocatively, but watched with cold eyes. Secondly, we will continue to have good relations with the Chinese."

At this time, the two of them didn't know that Ye Zhikui had not only sent his idea to Hawaii, but also to Alaska.

The city of Yina originated from a gold prospector named Yina, who in 1880 under the leadership of the natives discovered a natural gold nugget the size of a broad bean. A barren land turned into a bustling city.

Huo Yuanjia, Wang Wu, Zhao Sanduo and others walked on the street with their heads down, watching the people coming in and out in front of the shops, banks, bars, theaters and casinos along the street.

The white people did not show any abnormality when they saw the shabby Huo Yuanjia and his party. The gold rush was closely related to the immigration history of Chinese and overseas Chinese. Hundreds of bankrupt Chinese farmers were sent to the western United States and Alaska by selling piglets.

What they were a little curious about was that although this group of yellow people were dressed in rags, they were much more energetic than other yellow and thin yellow people they had seen.

"Boss, are you recruiting here?" Huo Yuanjia saw the recruitment notice of a gold mine, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

The white boss had two revolvers pinned to his waist and was dressed in a western cowboy outfit. He couldn't help but smile when he saw this group of refugees. Yellow people are hard-working and easy to bully, and they are the best targets for exploitation.

He seems to have seen a lot of gold rushing towards him. An accident happened in his mine last month, and he lost more than 100 miners.

"Yes, yes, you can go to work tomorrow, with food and lodging included." The gold mine boss nodded and replied, "If you have no objections, you can go to the mine to get acquainted with the situation tonight."

Huo Yuanjia hurriedly replied: "Thank you boss, we will starve to death if we can't find a job, we have no objection."

"Well, you follow him." The boss called a man and ordered.

The guy looked at these yellow people pitifully. Everyone knows that this boss is the most ruthless person in this town, especially he doesn't care about the life and death of the yellow people. He treats the miners like prisoners. Not only are wages not paid, but freedom is also restricted. If you are sick, you are not allowed to see a doctor. When you are injured, you are directly dragged up the mountain and thrown to wild animals. The food given to you for three meals a day even pigs are not allowed to eat.

"Hey, you guys hurry up and catch up." The white guy soon brought more than fifty people to the mine.

The mine is surrounded by a fence, which isolates it from the outside world. What's more eerie is that the owner of the mine has set up a post at a high place, and militiamen with live ammunition in the post are patrolling vigilantly.

Wang Wu lowered his body and said in a low voice, "This is a mine, no different from a prison."

Zhao Sanduo chuckled, and said indifferently: "This is better, and it's easier to cause trouble."

"It makes sense," Wang Wu sneered.

"You guys, what are you talking about? Once you enter here, you are not allowed to move around or talk freely, understand?" The white man glared fiercely at the back.

A group of people looked at each other a few times, lowered their heads and stopped talking.

However, when he saw the situation in the arena, he couldn't help feeling resentful and angry.

It turned out that there were a few human heads hanging on a flagpole. Judging from the skin color, it was known that they were Asians.

The man turned his head and said triumphantly: "See, this is what happens when you run away. I hope you don't see your heads hanging high next time."

Huo Yuanjia and others held hands tightly without making a sound.

Dirty, messy, with a pungent smell, a series of black and wet low houses lined up side by side, the white man handed them over to a little chief, who led them to the residence with a bad look.

"Go in, this is where you will live from now on, hehe, I didn't expect a few of you to be thin-skinned and tender." The little leader Yin smiled and rubbed his chin.

Huo Yuanjia almost suppressed vomiting. Is this a place for people to live? It is not even as good as a pigsty. There are more than 50 people living in a small house, covered with bedding, and there is almost no place to walk.

These quilts are greasy and tattered, which is really unflattering.

The little leader obviously noticed the ugly expressions of Huo Yuanjia and the others, and said with a sneer: "Just be content, if the owner of this room hadn't died at the same time, you wouldn't have such good luck, well, let go of your Clothes, come with me to the mine, there is a shortage of people."

Huo Yuanjia and his party silently let the little leader lead them to the mine, passing through a dark and damp small well hole, even though the group kept bending over, they still bumped into the wall above their heads from time to time.

At intervals, there will be a small light emitting a yellowish light.

After walking for tens of meters, it finally became a little empty.

Only then did everyone hear the tinkling sound of digging inside.

With the help of the light, Huo Yuanjia saw about a hundred people shaking the mining shovel tremblingly inside, most of them were of yellow race, and many of them had long braids behind them, of course there were also some black people, Behind them, there were several Caucasian men standing, all of them holding whips in their hands. If anyone moved slowly, or if anyone was upset, they would step forward and give him a whip.

During the whole process, no one dared to talk except the sound from the mining. The little leader stepped forward and handed Huo Yuanjia to a little foreman named Johnson.

"You, you, and you, go over there" After each person distributed a mining shovel, Johnson pointed to Huo Yuanjia and ordered them.
