Chapter 1399 The first drop of blood in New York (Third update, please subscribe)
confusion!
The whole of New York was in chaos, and in this chaos, many people took advantage of it - in the past twenty years, many black people fled from the south to New York through the so-called "Underground Railroad", and they lived in
In the slums, they are either engaged in heavy physical labor or wandering on the streets.
In this chaos, tens of thousands of black people rushed out of the slums. They turned into thugs and began to rob grocery stores. Soon, their robberies spread to wealthy neighborhoods. They not only robbed department stores in wealthy neighborhoods
, looting all kinds of goods in it. After robbing the department store, in order to cover up the crime, they poured oil on the floor, and then set the department store on fire. The shops on the roadside were also damaged. One after another
The building also burst into flames.
Just as groups of black people started "zero dollar shopping" wantonly, the wealthy area on the other side was also in chaos. People hurriedly took their belongings and tried to drive away from this "city that was about to fall."
"Look, Franklin, Third Street seems to be on fire. It must have been shelled. Let's get out of here quickly. The Mingguo guys will take over here soon..."
Franklin Roosevelt shouted as his friend pointed and yelled in the distance.
"Is New York going to fall? Believe me, this is definitely a rumor."
In the chaos, Franklin, who was only thirteen years old, seemed very calm. Looking at the billowing black smoke in the distance, it didn't look like a war.
"The sound of gunshots. If you hear the sound of gunshots and cannons, it must be a Mingguo guy, a Mingguo guy..."
As soon as Lu Xi finished speaking, a policeman ran over and shouted.
"Quickly, get out of here quickly, those niggas are crazy, they are robbing and killing people everywhere..."
Black person?
How could it be black?
What did those people do? Why did they want to rob? To kill.
Although there were many questions and many people were fleeing out of the city, Franklin did not leave. He ran directly into the house, took down a Winchester rifle from the fireplace, quickly pulled the bolt and loaded it.
He rushed out of the house directly.
As soon as he went out, a car stopped in front of him.
"Franklin, what are you doing? Leave with us quickly! The Ming people are coming."
"Mr. Henry, this is my home. I will not leave. People from the Ming Dynasty will not come, at least not now..."
Just as Franklin finished speaking, he saw groups of black people running over in the distance. They rushed into the houses on both sides of the street with knives and sticks, robbed and set fire to them. Franklin almost without thinking raised his rifle and took aim.
The black man who rushed forward pulled the trigger.
In the chaos, the gunshot was not harsh, but it shocked the people who were fleeing their homes. People looked in the direction of the gunshot and saw a young man standing on the roadside, calm and composed.
Shoot with a gun.
When a group of black men were chasing a woman with a grin on their faces, they didn't notice the young man's gun aimed at them.
"boom!"
Franklin shouted as he shot down a black man.
"Mrs. Anderson, come this way."
While rescuing, Franklin was shooting, walking forward, shooting, shooting. After one person was knocked down one after another, the black people noticed this guy and found that he was alone. Groups of black people rushed forward, trying to
To get rid of this trouble. Just when they were about to surround them, several more men rushed over with guns. Those who were about to escape also picked up weapons after seeing Franklin's actions to defend their homes.
"Franklin, stand behind the tree..."
Henry shouted to Franklin while shooting the rushing black people with his pistol. Just as people took up arms to resist the zero-dollar purchase thugs, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance. It was a group of mounted policemen. The leader was not
The other person was none other than New York Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt—whose home was in this neighborhood.
He was riding in front of him on horseback. As soon as he rushed into the street, he shot the thugs with his pistol. The mounted police behind him also opened fire. Under the attack of the mounted police, the thugs who left a pile of corpses were immediately scattered.
, in the shape of birds and beasts.
After the mob dispersed, Theodore on horseback ordered the mounted police to go to other neighborhoods to restore order. He then rode up to Franklin and asked loudly.
"Franklin, how are you? Are you injured anywhere?"
Hearing his uncle's shout, Franklin shook his head and said.
"I'm not injured, uncle, what's going on? People from the Ming Dynasty really..."
Before Franklin could finish speaking, Theodore Roosevelt cursed loudly.
"Damn it, the coastal artillery mistook our own warships for Ming Dynasty warships, and then...only God knows why such chaos occurred."
Why does chaos occur?
The reason couldn't be simpler, it's fear! After the Great White Fleet was destroyed, the fear in people's hearts led to chaos.
"It's probably because of fear..."
As Franklin finished speaking, suddenly, there was an explosion in the distance. The sudden explosion made everyone tremble. Everyone looked at Theodore, their police chief, in horror.
"Don't worry, everyone. This is a Navy warship shelling the rioters. Soon the Marines and troops will enter the city, and order will be restored soon. Gentlemen, everyone can go home now. As long as we are here, the rioters
The atrocities will be stopped soon!"
Everything was just like the draft riots in 1863. After the riots, the US military quickly intervened. After stopping the chaos caused by fear, New York officials took strict preventive measures to avoid another riot. Tens of thousands of people
Infantrymen and Marines rushed to New York from all over the country. The First Division of the New York National Guard also began to perform duty on the streets. The governor of New York State issued a statement, warning citizens to obey federal laws, and demanding severe punishment for the thugs. Tens of thousands of black people died overnight
Arrested, regardless of whether they participated in the riots, simply because of the color of their skin.
However, what awaits these people is not severe punishment from the law. They are required to sign their names or fingerprints on the recruitment notice, and then are thrown into the military camp - now the United States has declared war on the Ming Dynasty, declared war
, there is always a need for cannon fodder. These people... are simply the best consumables.
I have to say that Americans are also very good at calculating.
Of course, no one expected that after the war broke out, the first drop of blood in New York would be shed like this...
