The sun never sets in America

Chapter 42 Port of Los Angeles

Port of Los Angeles——
As the largest port city in California and currently the largest on the West Coast, although the port of Los Angeles is not as good as that of Europe or even some small European countries, it can still be regarded as one of the largest ports in North America except for a few historic ports. One of the best ports. The reason why it is used is because the current development speed of the United States is too fast... A large number of immigrants from Europe need to enter the Americas and the United States from the port, which forces the United States to need more Large and new ports, the birth of these ports has brought more emerging port cities...

Although the construction intensity and construction capabilities of the United States during this period were not as powerful as those from the late [-]th century to the early to mid-[-]th century, they were still considered relatively strong construction capabilities on a global scale.

The United States today is not the United States of later generations, with old infrastructure and rats running in the subway. The United States of this period is like the almost unparalleled national fortunes of every superpower when it was born and grew up. They all reveal a sense of prosperity. Of course, the contradictions in the development of the United States have gradually emerged, that is, the dispute between the North and the South, and the dispute between industry and agriculture. However, it is now covered up by the rapid development of the United States and has not exploded. Once it breaks out, it will sweep across the entire United States like a stormy wave, taking away countless lives... But before that, the first to disappear are the Indians! !
woohoo...

A sailboat docked in the Port of Los Angeles. A loudspeaker sounded from the dock. Under the command of Old Loew, skilled dockworkers quickly helped the British sailing freighter flying the Mizi flag to dock safely. The ropes on the ship are firmly tied to the stone pillars on the pier to prevent the ship from deviating from its original track due to sea winds and any unstable reasons... causing losses to other merchant ships in the port.

A white man stepped off the boat with gold-rimmed glasses, a black dress, crocodile leather shoes, an ivory-handled civilized walking stick, and a black top hat. He had a hooked nose on his face and a sharp Eyes like blades were constantly looking at everything in the port, until they saw the black and red snake flag hanging on the pier, [it was actually a dragon. 】The pupils obviously retracted for a moment, and then he walked into the port without leaving a trace. Behind him, followed a few tall sailors. The sailors had a musket on their waist, telling everyone on the dock all the time. , they are not easy to mess with! !
"Mr. Harlin, long time no see, my old friend..." Old Love, who was left by Liu Jiabao to continue to be responsible for the management of the Los Angeles dock, saw Harlin, the well-dressed white man, walking into the port with the sailors. , greeted him warmly, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years, "How is it, how is your business in Canada?" Old Loew looked at Harlin and continued to greet with a smile.

"There is no business. You know, there are very few white people in Canada, and the local indigenous people do not have as much gold as the west coast and east coast. Except for the garrisons from England, there is basically no business." Harlin said with a wry smile. He replied to Old Loew that compared to Canada in later generations, which was pretty good, Canada at this period was a complete desert. It needed population but no population, and industry but no industry. The only significant local industry was still primitive logging and so-called logging. maple sugar, or simply to serve the ship repair industry of the British Royal Navy, or even the service industry serving the local British garrison, and to maintain the small-scale industry needed locally, and due to the cold climate in most parts of Canada, the land is not suitable Farming, so most of the population is close to the area where the United States is located, even in later generations. This is also the reason why the United States wanted to annex Canada in history. For no other reason, it is too tempting.

It's like a deer in a tiger's mouth. If the tiger didn't think about eating it, it would be impossible. The United States did the same thing before. In the end, it was hit hard by the antlers, and even the White House was burned down. You know, because After burning, the black color produced was painted white with white paint. This is also the origin of the White House. Although Canada received help from its suzerain, the British Empire, in this war, it was enough to prove that the resistance consciousness of this land was How strong, after all, there are many French-Canadians living in Canada. France at this period was not an insult to later generations. The French, who had not been away from the Napoleonic War for too long, still retained the martial spirit of the French Empire...

"Yes, compared to the United States, Canada is indeed too desolate." Old Love agreed with Harlin's words. In his opinion, compared to the booming United States of America, this British Canada is indeed too desolate. Too late.

"Mr. Loew, when did your country change its flag, or is this a bad idea of ​​an official at the dock?" Harlin first nodded at what Old Loew just said, and then pointed to the clock tower hanging on the dock. The black and red dragon flag asked old Loew. In his opinion, this was probably a prank by some big shot.

"This..." Old Loew changed his expression after hearing Harlin's inquiry, and he hesitated a bit when he spoke, "This is the flag of the new owner of Los Angeles." Old Loew then said to Harlin with a very complicated expression. He replied that the reason why it was complicated was that he hated the Liujiabao pagans for taking away the white people's Los Angeles, but he also thanked the other party for allowing him to continue to work on the dock. You must know that when the war first started, the entire Los Angeles The price of food has increased at least ten times. You must know that many white Mexicans like him living in the city do not have land. They did not bother to engage in agricultural-related work at the beginning. Coupled with the atonement system promulgated by Liujiabao, everyone The white Mexicans handed over a certain proportion of their wealth to Liu Jiabao based on their family assets. Among them, the poor at the bottom paid the least, and the rich and nobles paid the most. The worst thing was that he, who was neither above nor below, had no choice but to give up his family. Most of the cash was used to atone for sins... Soon there was a famine due to rising food prices. As for selling real estate, because it was during the war, no one would buy it if you wanted to sell it. In the job of managing the dock, he might have to learn from those people and sell their sons and daughters. Among these people, the ones they sell the most are their daughters.

This kind of imagination was also deliberately created by Liujiabao, in order to cause a reshuffle of wealth and social influence in the entire Los Angeles, and even the entire California region. After all, Liujiabao will expand externally in the future, and it is easy to lose people's hearts through massacres alone. It is better to slowly use various policies to slowly devour these white people who occupy a lot of wealth and have a lot of influence after they are conquered, and they are not killed at once. The rich people will lose a lot of wealth for a long time. It will be difficult to recover, so that they will not be able to compete with the Chinese forces in Liujiabao for some time in the future, and the main wealth of society will be firmly in the hands of the Chinese themselves, and those Mexican whites at the bottom who have few friends will not stand up because of this. In the rebellion, as for who is the target of sacrifice, of course it is people like old Loew.

"What, Liujiabao?" Hearing the name Liujiabao, Harin was still a little unfamiliar, but he quickly thought of something, "Is it the Liujiabao who sells Fortress wine?" Harin suddenly remembered that he once I drank a kind of wine that tasted pretty good. There seemed to be such a pattern on that wine. Harlem looked at the black and red dragon flag on the clock tower. The more he looked at it, the more he felt it was similar. Then he asked Old Loew.

"That's right, it's the Liujiapu." Old Love replied categorically to Harlin, "They occupied Los Angeles and the surrounding towns more than 20 days ago, and also defeated the organized groups throughout California. The coalition forces..." Old Loew slowly told Harlin when Liujiabao began to occupy Los Angeles and the stories that happened there. Especially after talking about the reasons for the failure of the coalition forces, Old Loew started to curse.

"It's all the fault of Governor Joaquin Covia. If it weren't for this bastard who betrayed us Los Angeles people twice, how could those Liujiapu heretics take Los Angeles so easily and defeat the army led by Baron Roman with so many troops? Allied Forces..." When Old Loew mentioned Governor Huaco Covia, an angry expression immediately appeared on his face, as if Liujiabao's victory was all due to the traitor, Huaco Covia. "It's a pity that a hero like Baron Roman died in the hands of his own people because of this bastard." The death of Baron Roman in the hands of his own people in Old Loew's words was completely made up by Liu Jiabao in order to weaken the resistance of white Mexicans. , and self-confidence. After all, if it is said that Baron Roman committed suicide under siege and was not afraid of danger, it will easily ignite the fighting spirit and even the will of resistance among the white Mexicans under the rule of Liu Jiabao. In order to eliminate as much as possible the white Mexicans' hatred of the Liu family Liu Jiabao's resistance to the rule of Fort. After the war, senior Mexican white officers like Commander Walter, who were the first to surrender, were directly promoted as typical examples. Even some desperate white Mexican militiamen who surrendered were promoted by Liu Jiabao as a pre-battle uprising. Liu Jiabao was also portrayed as a hero who resisted the tyranny of the Mexican government...

Such brainwashing remarks, true and false, flooded all the places ruled by Liujiabao. Even the Indian tribes came up with a theory that Chinese and Indians have the same origin, and they had the same ancestor many years ago. , among which the most testimonial is the statement that children’s buttocks are blue and wait for a series of physical characteristics.

Within Liujiapu, under the instruction of Liu Peng and Liu Yan, several so-called historians, what Liu Peng privately calls historical inventors, are compiling a story about the Chinese ancestors' eastward journey to America during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The story of crossing the Bering Strait, as long as it seems reasonable, as long as the publicity in the future is in place, and more importantly, Liujiabao will be strong enough by then... Who said that Chinese and Indians are not the same family, be the first to jump out Those who retorted were those Indians who had long been naturalized.

Repeat a lie a thousand times and it becomes the truth! !
"It's a pity that Baron Roman was betrayed by a villain." Although Harlem sympathized with Baron Roman, in fact, he was laughing at these Mexicans who have no backbone and betrayed their own people. How are they like the British Empire? They English people have never They were the ones bullying the natives and those yellow-skinned monkeys. How could the pagans ride on their heads? "I don't think these Liujiapu pagans know how to manage the port. Otherwise, old Loew, how could you still do this?" In office, shouldn't they have been replaced by one of their own earlier?" Harlin looked at the Indo-European mixed-race workers on the dock, as well as the old Loew who remained in his original position, and laughed at those Liujiapu people, not even the port. Management must be returned to them white people in the end...

"They do need us for port management, but they don't need our help for merchant ships." Speaking of the port, Old Loew's face was full of pride, but when it came to shipbuilding, he especially thought of the port that was being taken over and renovated by the Liujiapu people. At the Los Angeles Shipyard, Old Loew's originally proud face immediately turned a little bitter - at first, after seeing the Liujiapu people stationed at the Los Angeles Shipyard, the group of Mexican whites gloated that this was another disaster. The Port of Los Angeles, but unexpectedly, the other party quickly dismissed the person in charge of the shipyard - and named a Chinese named Lin Zhaolong as the director of the shipyard. When this man took office, he established many rules for Mexicans to manage the shipyard. There are rigid requirements such as not being late, and work must be assessed, etc. If you make a mistake, your money will be deducted. You must know that for these lazy Mexican boat workers, what cannot be late, what assessment, even if there is any, they are just a fart. , they don’t take it seriously at all, but for those ferocious Liujiapu pagans, they can’t muster any courage to resist and work honestly. If nothing else, look at the hangings on the city walls of Los Angeles. It was densely covered with heads chopped off for resisting the riots... Everyone knew that being honest was better than anything else.And soon the shipyard resumed production under Lin Zhaolong's organization. It is said that large ships that can accommodate many immigrants are being built recently, which puzzled some white Mexicans who did not know the truth. Only some smart white Mexicans learned the news. I instantly understood the meaning, and immediately fell into deep worries about the future of white Mexicans in California and the Americas. Then I prayed to God more than once to ask the Republic of Mexico to quickly drive away these Liujiapu pagans. , to save them from the fate of being swallowed up step by step by the Liujiabao pagans...

"How long do you think these Liujiabao pagans can stay in Los Angeles and California?" After hearing Old Love's evaluation of Liujiabao and the shipyard, Harlin changed his initial arrogance and revealed With a very interested expression, he immediately asked Lao Fu about Liujiabao's deeper issue, which was the survival issue of a new ruler. After all, rule must exist for a long time, not just dozens of days or even a few years. Months, this is not a rule, this is only a temporary occupation.

"As a Mexican, of course I hope these infidels get out of here as far away as possible, but reason and reality tell me that this is impossible." Old Love sighed to Harlin, with an expression of struggle and pain. , I don’t know where my future, or even the future of all white Californians, lies. Even at night, Old Loew once issued similar words of resignation.

"Why, aren't they going to be defeated by your army soon?" After hearing this, Harlin asked the old Loew with great interest, and even showed a puzzled expression on his face, as if he didn't understand. It was something Harlem never imagined that Old Love, a Mexican, a white man, and a pagan who didn't know where he came from, could rule Los Angeles, and even rule the entire California region for a long time.

"The reason why I think so is not only because of the victory of those infidels in the two wars, but more importantly, we Mexicans, or our country, have already stopped these infidels..." Old Loew felt very uncomfortable. replied, his tone full of dissatisfaction with the Republic of Mexico and his hatred of iron. "Do you know what those pagans did? They almost brought all the Indians in California under their command. In the last war, There are Indians serving them, which means that even if we send a large number of soldiers, as soon as we step into California, there will be forces resisting us everywhere. California is no longer the California of us white Mexicans... "The mature old Loew is different from those politicians who only know how to shout and kill. Having lived in California for many years, he knows very well that the white people do not rule the area with guns. Guns are just a means. What is important is the Indians. Disunity, or disunity between tribes, gave the whites an opportunity to take advantage of them. Once the Indians resisted, not only would these Indians not become a chain reaction of resistance to the white Mexicans, but they would It was a tool to kill chickens and scare monkeys. The Shanyan tribe resisted from the beginning, but most of the Indian tribes were waiting and watching. It was not until the white Mexican radicals in California wanted to kill all the Indians in California that these tribes stood up to resist. From this point on It can be seen how loose and disunited these Indians are, otherwise they would not have been oppressed by white colonists for so many years.

But things are different now. This group of Liujiabao pagans don't know how to really organize the scattered Indians. Although they still rely on Liujiabao's command, Old Loew is sure that once the Mexican Republic If they really tried to fight over there, it would end in the same failure as the previous two times. For no reason, because Old Loew was an authentic Mexican white man, and he knew the peeing habits of those people above him very well. In a word, he was right These upper-class bureaucrats and aristocrats in Mexico have no confidence. If they had confidence, Los Angeles and even California would not be what they are now.

"Then do you think those Liujiabao pagans are easy to deal with?" After hearing this, Harlin touched his slightly bearded chin, and then continued to ask Lao Fu about Liujiabao.

"Although they are sometimes overbearing when dealing with people, these Liujiabao pagans are still very disciplined and very trustworthy when purchasing supplies. I have heard many businessmen in Los Angeles say that the credibility of Liujiabao pagans is better than that of the original Mexicans." The Los Angeles government is much better, and they even regret why these Liujiapu pagans didn't come earlier..." Old Loew replied in a mocking tone, not only mocking those businessmen for their lack of spine, but also mocking the corruption and incompetence of the Los Angeles government. Even they themselves can't stand it. As long as the pagans are a little bit normal, they will become honest and civilized in the propaganda. Isn't this the sorrow and shame of the Mexican Republic and even all white Mexicans?
All this was not caused by Liujiabao, it was the white people themselves who caused all this. This has to be said to be really sad! !
"You just said that these Liujiapu pagans are still doing business with Mexican businessmen in the Los Angeles area, right? Does that mean these pagans are very rich?" As a businessman, Harlin's focus on this matter is completely related to Old Loew was different. He was very interested in Liujiabao's wealth. This was a businessman's instinct and Harlem's innate instinct. So after learning that Liujiabao was rich, he immediately became interested in the old man. Loew asked.

"They have exploited the wealth of almost all white people in Los Angeles and even the surrounding female areas. How can they not be rich!!" When Harlem asked about Liu Jiabao's wealth, Old Love immediately showed a look of pain and resentment. Don't Not to mention, even he himself paid two thousand pounds in redemption money. If he hadn't accumulated some wealth over the years, it would have been empty.

"And it is said that on the way to escape during the first Los Angeles War, the wealth of the fleeing rich and nobles was also seized by these Liujiapu pagans. It is said that there are also several carts of gold left by a gold mining businessman... "Old Loew told Harlin all the half-true and half-false information he had heard, "Don't you mean that?" After saying that, Old Loew seemed to realize something, and he gave Harlin a tentative look in surprise. He asked, with a complicated expression on his face. He had almost guessed what Harlem was going to do.

"Lew, I plan to discuss some business with these Liujiapu pagans. Please help me for the sake of our old friends. Once the matter is completed, you will benefit..." Harlin changed to another one. He replied to Old Loew in a flattering tone.

"You..." Old Loew looked at the money-obsessed Harlin with complicated eyes. For a moment, he was speechless. "Okay, I can take you there." Old Loew finally agreed. , after all, he himself is working for the Liujiapu pagans, so what face does he have to accuse an Englishman?
Could it be because he is white? Don’t be kidding, they are the ones who beat white people the hardest! !

On the dock, after Harlin got the answer he wanted, he immediately continued talking with Old Loew. Most of the questions he asked were about the rules and living habits of Liujiabao people, and even the preferences of those in power.

In the words that Old Loew later scolded Harlin, it was...

"You are truly a natural businessman!!"
