Chapter 426 California Riots

There is nothing that cannot be used for elections. What happened to the natural disaster? What a good cover. Evelyn, who was still in New Orleans, was not slow to respond and directly announced that the Evelyn Charitable Foundation would donate US$200,000 to purchase supplies.

As for what materials to purchase when distributing them to disaster victims, it mainly depends on what materials the United Company has. This is not a big problem.

Starting from Arlington, major companies in the South immediately took action and donated generously. The Edith Rockefeller Foundation also donated $100,000 to the account of the Evelyn Foundation. The Evelyn Charitable Foundation was donated by

It was given to the Rockefeller Family Foundation, and then the Rockefeller Family Foundation donated $100,000 back to the Edith Rockefeller Foundation. After $100,000 went through this cycle, all three foundations donated $100,000 to

Citizens in the disaster area have made huge contributions.

The slave owners, who had long been mentally prepared for the San Francisco earthquake, now urgently need to know the damage to the San Francisco Shipyard. Another important purpose of Jesra taking the Black Gold Company staff is to take advantage of the situation if the damage to the San Francisco Shipyard is not serious.

Make this shipyard more in line with the situation in the disaster area and prepare for the next acquisition.

In fact, for the situation in California, Sheffield's various preparations were not all useful. For example, they found ways to prevent the two railways from being used by the federal government. Soon the two railway giants expressed their helplessness because the railways to California had been interrupted.

Already.

Even the inland state of Nevada could feel the power of this earthquake. The railway to California is no longer usable due to hundreds of miles of stratigraphic fractures. Not to mention that the federal government cannot use it, and the United Corporation cannot use it either.

.

But for Sheffield, this was even better! Because he knew immediately that the Southwest Railway passing through New Mexico was not interrupted, and it was easier to eliminate dissidents on this railway. The federal government could not use it even more!

One day passed, and after the Congress in Washington took the opportunity to accuse and criticize each other, Roosevelt, who was still very clear-headed, quickly gave appropriate instructions, hoping that California would restore order as soon as possible and calm the victims as much as possible.

Said it was considering rebuilding funding.

Finally, President Roosevelt expressed his appreciation to United Company for its commitment to the disaster area first, saying that this is an enterprise with national responsibility, because the expansion of the Hawaii military port will definitely not be completed in a year and a half, and United Company can definitely do it in the future.

For several years, the government and the federal government got along fine by holding each other's hands.

With this premise, President Roosevelt will naturally not do anything to the United Company. He will have to wait until the value of the United Company disappears. However, this is not easy, because another important project, the Panama Canal, cannot be completed in a short time.

.

After entering the border of California, Jesra understood the real situation. He had already seen the panicked people on both sides of the railway, but they still maintained order. Because the southern part of California, close to the border, is where the United Company is deeply cultivated.

Many are employees of United.

Jesra revealed her identity and showed that she was a family member, so naturally she would not be challenged.

"It can be concluded that the situation north of Los Angeles must be very serious. It is just time for us to solve part of the problem and then push all the deaths to the earthquake. Perfect." Jesla said to the subordinate Lao Shenzai of the Black Gold Company, "

If natural disasters like this happen more often, we won't have to see the annoying black anymore. This is the color I hate the most. This time, we will take advantage of the earthquake to clean up Los Angeles and San Francisco."

"Yes!" A cheerful response came from the roaring train carriage.

In fact, after arriving in Los Angeles, a similar operation had already begun. Only after finding the weapons warehouse did Jesla learn that even the rail transportation between San Francisco and Los Angeles was interrupted, so he could only walk there. Taking a car was not a problem.

"You stay, tell other communities that black people took the opportunity to rob banks, start riots, and then lead the people of Los Angeles into the black community." Jesra detached some of his staff to stay in Los Angeles, and he took the bus directly to San Francisco.

The convoy ordered, "I will personally take people to San Francisco, and that's it."

"Public transportation in California is now interrupted, and our joint company is also very worried about the local situation." When Sheffield was asked by reporters, his expression was haggard and full of exhaustion, and he had not yet recovered from the heavy load. Of course, in the eyes of the uncrowned king

, this is a concern for the lives and property of western citizens.

"Actually, the main reason is that I am afraid that some gangsters will use natural disasters to launch riots. It is not that I hope this will happen. But no matter what great country, there will always be such people." The slave owner's eyes gradually became worried.

He said, "Moreover, I heard that many people have never seen this big earthquake in their lives. My friends in Nevada said that the earthquake from the west could be felt locally, which is so scary."

The slave owner shed tears on the spot and proved with practical actions that the big boss behind the Hollywood film industry was definitely not a wasted reputation. At this time, Los Angeles was burning with fire and gunfire, and countless people fell into madness.

The cause was a rumor that a Hollywood actress was attacked and brutalized by black people on her way out after the earthquake. Although it was just a rumor, it was enough to ignite the anger of the citizens of Los Angeles after the disaster.

It doesn't actually matter whether the matter is true or not. Anyway, the traffic between California and the outside world has been cut off, and now is the time for free play.

Even the California government, which was in contact with Washington, did not understand the specific situation and used the term black riot, indicating that things were moving out of control.

The Los Angeles city government did not understand the cause of the incident, but gave a truthful warning to the citizens of the city. This warning had the opposite effect. After hearing the news, countless citizens spontaneously joined the ranks of suppressing the black riots, and responded to

The black community launched an attack.

Disasters are often accompanied by various rumors, which are very normal. The scene in Los Angeles is not surprising. It just proves the normal reaction of human beings at such times. As for the situation in San Francisco, it is even worse. Wait until Jess

After La and others arrived non-stop, the already bad situation became even worse.

"We must help the San Francisco city government restore order and use all possible means to prevent this beautiful city from suffering greater losses." Jesra issued the order with murderous intent. What should be said was in Arlington.

The manor and the train have already said that now they are simply assisting the San Francisco police department to reduce losses.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Mayor Eugene Smith, who listened to the slander, heard another slander, indicating that since there are large private companies willing to take the blame, even if they are investigated afterwards, he will not be the only one to take the blame, let alone

We now know a situation, traffic in California has been cut off from the outside world.

No matter what happens now, no one has seen it. With these two points, tough measures can be taken. No matter what happens, the matter can be blamed on natural disasters. The mayor and the citizens of San Francisco are both victims.

"Let the police department and the Ambulance Corps of the Union Company restore order in the city." Eugene Smith sent someone to notify the Chief of Police of San Francisco. By this time, the fire in the city had been extinguished, and almost half of San Francisco was in flames.

disappeared, and there were countless people buried beneath the collapsed houses and buildings, as well as many bodies buried in the sea of ​​​​fire, and the streets were devastated.

At least half of San Francisco has fallen into anarchy. If the riots in Los Angeles were due to rumors that went awry, the riots in San Francisco were real and were entirely due to the consequences of the earthquake.

Then Eugene Smith officially issued the mayor's order, allowing the United Company rescue team to cooperate with the police and soldiers to restore order, and to directly shoot gangsters involved in robbery and rioting. Whenever there is robbery, there is no need to follow any procedures, and they can shoot and kill directly.

.

Because of the big earthquake, the wealthy people in San Francisco reacted quickly and hid in safe communities, and the factories were shut down. These factories also became the only holy places for gangsters to rob. Jesla took the black gold company's sought-after goods and now wants to

What we do is to help these wealthy people regain their properties.

The San Francisco Shipyard also came to a standstill, so it was naturally the target that Jesla needed to rescue. He dropped two time bombs. He didn't find anything special, so he decided to help the most respectable policeman to deal with the gangsters in the city first.

.

"Most black people are at the bottom of society. They have nothing to lose, so when order breaks down, they are naturally the main force in robbery and destruction." In front of the chief of the San Francisco Police Department, Jesra said worriedly.

While talking, someone came in and reported, "There was a big explosion at the San Francisco Shipyard. I heard it was a black man who did it."

Hearing that this word was used well, Jessla said, "You see what I said is absolutely right," which made the San Francisco police chief make up his mind.

Sheffield finally brought tents, flour and some daily necessities, along with retired soldiers from the Alamo Guard, to escort the urgently needed supplies for citizens in the disaster area and boarded the Arlington train.

Now that outside traffic in California has been cut off, only the Southwest Railway through the New Mexico region has such a large transportation capacity. The slave owners are worried about what if Jesra screws up.
