At the Prime Minister's Residence in Ottawa, the capital of Canada, the current Prime Minister of Canada, Wilfrid Laurier, is not asleep yet. He is the leader of the Liberal Party and the first French Prime Minister. This man is slender, elegant, very politically charming, and quite charming.
Free thought.
While Laurier was reading the official document, he was still worried about the news that came from Toronto during the day. The Chinese who assassinated former US President McKinley fled to Toronto. Although Canada has had many wars with the United States in history, now because of
The close trade exchanges have made both countries realize the need for peaceful coexistence.
Laurier thought that the reason why Liu Zhenming was able to successfully assassinate Liu Zhenming must be because of the power behind him, and maybe he also had the support of the Chinese society. This was what Laurier was most worried about. Although he had free thoughts, that freedom was only for the white society.
To say.
Really afraid of what might happen, Laurier drank a cup of coffee to refresh himself, but heard an urgent knock on the door.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! Something big has happened!" Not only did the people outside knock on the door urgently, but there was also a bit of anxiety and uneasiness in their words.
Laurier recognized that it was his secretary Mackenzie. He walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward to open the door. He saw Mackenzie holding a telegram in her hand.
"What happened?" Laurier asked with a frown as he took the telegram.
"There were riots among the Chinese in Toronto?" After Laurier glanced at the telegram, the expression on his face became solemn.
"Yes, Sir, they have thousands of weapons. Even the Toronto Police Department cannot suppress them. After killing many civilians, they have hijacked a train and gone west." McKenzie said
After quickly recounting the news he had received, he hurriedly said: "Ontario has requested us to send out troops to suppress it, otherwise things will develop in an unpredictable direction."
"Deploy the troops!" Laurier frowned deeply.
"How many Chinese were there in the riot?" Laurier asked again.
There has been no war in Canada for a long time. The last war was the Northwest Uprising led by the Métis and their allies, which were suppressed by the Canadian militia and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Métis were Inuit and European colonizers.
The people and the descendants of the local indigenous people are a mixed race.
Laurier looked at whether it was necessary to send troops and whether it was making a fuss, because Canada had sent more than 7,000 soldiers to Africa at this time, and the force was already very weak. Any further deployment of troops would affect stability.
Today, Canada does not have a navy, only a small fishing fleet. Its territorial waters are still protected by the British Royal Navy, and with the withdrawal of the British Army from Canada.
The Canadian Army is the Canadian militia. It fights bravely. It once invaded Washington and burned down the White House with the British regular army. Now it has officially become the Canadian National Defense Force.
The Canadian militia (including cavalry, artillery, infantry and engineers) became increasingly important. Eventually, the Canadian militia was reorganized and became a regular army composed of various "regiments".
Today, there are 50,000 Canadian militiamen, mainly stationed in the eastern region. Two artillery positions have been established in Kingston, not far from Toronto.
"It is said that there were more than 800 Chinese rioters. All of them had guns, and some of them even received military training. Your Excellency, I don't think they can be treated as ordinary rioters." McKenzie said quickly.
The Canadian government is very clear about how many Chinese people there are in Toronto. Therefore, the Toronto Police Department does not dare to increase the number of people at will, but it exaggerates other aspects.
"What do these yellow people want to do in the end? Do they want to escape from Canada and go back to China, or do they want to do other things? Send people immediately to negotiate with them, find out their intentions, and dispatch two thousand people from Kingston
Combat troops, go to pursue them and prepare other western states for war." Laurier quickly issued his order...
Since there were only a few hundred Chinese in that group, Laurier felt that he could handle it by dispatching a small force.
Seeing that Mackenzie was about to leave, Laurier stopped him and urged: "Let the states look at the yellow people in their territory and don't let this kind of thing spread."
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Mackenzie took off his hat, saluted, and left quickly.
…
In the White House, Roosevelt was also in grief and anger. After learning the news that his close friend Benjamin had been killed in action, he had been sitting there motionless.
It was impossible for Roosevelt to send troops into Canada to encircle and suppress Liu Zhenming. What he could do was to send a small group of elite Bureau of Investigation agents to cooperate with the Canadians to encircle and suppress Liu Zhenming.
I believe that with so many people dying in Toronto, the Canadian federal government will definitely take this matter seriously.
Roosevelt stood up and after taking a few steps back and forth, he made another decision in his mind. Immediately, he sent for the Secretary of War.
A moment later, Secretary of War John Field was standing in front of Roosevelt.
"Your Excellency, do you mean to ask the Department of the Army to cooperate with the police to conduct an inventory of all Chinese gathering areas?" Field held his hat in his left hand and looked at Roosevelt with a puzzled look.
"Yes, you may not know that the news just came from Toronto. The Chinese there had a riot. They had a large amount of arms. After killing hundreds of people, they broke through the police station encirclement and hijacked a thousand people in the train station.
Many people fled to western Canada." Roosevelt continued with a sad face: "The leader of that group of Chinese was Liu who assassinated the former president, and he killed dozens of agents from the Bureau of Investigation and Benjamin."
This was the first time Field knew about this. He had just found out that Liu Zhenming was not dead. Agents had been leading the assassination before, and the Army Department had not intervened.
"Mr. President, are you afraid that the Chinese community still has a large number of weapons?" Field immediately understood Roosevelt's worries.
"Yes, now I know what kind of energy these seemingly cowardly Chinese can burst out when they go crazy. They may all become terrorists. We cannot let them have any guns.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of this inventory, the cooperation of the military is necessary."
"Your Excellency, please rest assured that our Army Department will definitely make this inspection go smoothly." Field had no other opinions and gave a military salute with a snap.
Countless telegrams began to go from Washington to the states. In the middle of the night, the police stations were brightly lit, and the sound of neat footsteps could be heard on the streets of some cities.
The army began to mobilize from its garrison to major cities in various states. All of those cities had a lot of Chinese living there. Of course, there were not many Chinese in the United States at this time, so this only happened in a few big cities.
It hasn't attracted much attention across the United States.
By daybreak, Chinese people all over the United States will find that they have been surrounded by American troops and police stations.
