The platoon movement officially started on a large scale in California!
Without putting myself in his shoes, it is completely difficult to imagine what kind of scene this is and what the situation would be like in such a scene.
And all of this was completely ignited by Peter's speech.
All Americans have pointed their fingers at the Japanese. In their view, the Japanese are the source of the culprits who destroyed the American order and deprived Americans of their jobs and land!
In California, which has the largest Japanese population, the governor ordered the dismissal of all Japanese from public office, revoked their lawyer and doctor licenses, and even banned them from fishing. The California Attorney General’s argument was: “The Japanese in the United States, especially in California,
Although they have not caused any damage to this state, it just shows that they are cunning and cunning."
He even reported to Washington: "The opinions of law enforcement officials in this state believe that Japanese Americans born and raised here are more dangerous than Japanese expatriates."
Insurance companies canceled the insurance policies of Japanese Americans, milkmen refused to deliver milk to them, and grocery store merchants refused to sell goods to them. California even froze the bank deposits of all Japanese Americans, and as a result, banks simply refused to cash their checks.
.
Some Japanese Americans began to leave California, only to find that there seemed to be no place for them in the vast United States.
The Nevada State Bar Association issued a statement saying: "If Japs are dangerous in Berkeley, California, then they are equally dangerous coming to Nevada."
The governor of Idaho said: "Japanese ghosts live like rats, breed like rats, and behave like rats."
Kansas simply ordered the police to ban Japanese from entering. The governor explained: "Kansas does not want Japanese ghosts and does not welcome Japanese ghosts."
Across the United States, signs are hung on the windows of barbershops that read: "Japanese ghosts come to shave and are not responsible for any accidents."
The hotel posted a slogan: "Rat and Japanese ghosts will be poisoned and killed by our restaurant."
Gas stations refused to refuel the Japanese and even refused to give them water. They were even prohibited from entering public restrooms.
In Japanese, "一世" refers to the first generation of immigrants, and "二世" refers to the second generation. In the 1920s, the mainstream of Japanese Americans in the United States was basically "一世" and "二世". Ironically, there are different characters in "一世".
I'm still Japanese...
Five "Two"s came to New Jersey, and a farmer hired them. The local police committee burned the farmer's barn and threatened to kill his young son. A "Two" girl came to Denver,
When she wanted to worship in church, the pastor personally stopped her and said, "Wouldn't it be better for you to go to your own Buddhist temple?"
California's new Senator Cornwell S. Pitt publicly declared, "Japanese ghosts are Japanese ghosts, regardless of whether they are American citizens! We must detain all Japanese who are potentially a threat to the United States!"
There was widespread support for the policy of internment of Japanese Americans, and Pete wrote in the newspaper: "Why should we be so nice to the Japs? They take our parking spots, they queue at the post office, they queue on the buses
They have occupied a seat. Drive them to a remote place to suffer and starve! No one will be left alive!"
None of the Supreme Court justices objected. They avoided talking about whether it was unconstitutional...
The anti-Japanese movement that started in California has finally spread across the United States!
Although the anti-Japanese movement has been carried out in the United States for many years, it has never reached such a scale. The fuse of all this was ignited by a speech by one person:
Cornwell.s.Pitt!
This young political star, who had just entered the political arena but was successfully elected as a local senator, quickly attracted the attention of the entire United States.
Pete's name frequently appears in major newspapers and magazines in the United States. He is described as a staunch patriot, a great American, and a politician who firmly defends American rights!
Some people even judged that within twenty years, he will definitely become the new president of the United States...
In short, there are too many auras surrounding him...
Pete himself didn't show much joy about this!
In his opinion, he does not have much credit for accomplishing all this. All credit belongs to the efforts of the Ivins family and Yu Yun.
What I did was just sitting back and enjoying the results.
The only thing that brought him excitement was the huge cheers brought by his speech at the Pai Ri Sports Club that day. At that moment, Peter was infinitely satisfied.
Rights, flowers, support... are indeed wonderful things.
He suddenly remembered, had his best friend Wang Hengyue reached the highest level of power in China because of this?
Maybe......
Yu Yun stood next to Peter and looked out the window.
Several American youths surrounded an Asian man. Obviously, he was Japanese.
The American youth yelled something loudly at the Japanese, and the Japanese tried his best to defend himself, but everything was in vain. Soon, he was beaten by several American youths.
The American young man knocked the Japanese to the ground, and then his fists and boots fell on him. The Japanese begged and cried loudly, but it was of no use at all...
"Is it cruel?" Yu Yun asked softly.
Peter nodded, but then said: "It is indeed a bit cruel, but these Japanese deserve it. Why do they come here? They should not belong here in the first place!"
Yu Yun glanced at him, as if he recognized this person for the first time. Not long ago, Peter would not be able to say such a thing, but a speech at the Volleyball Sports Club seemed to have changed Peter to a different person?
However, when Peter finished saying that, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face: "If the boss was here, he would definitely be very happy."
"Boss?" Yu Yun didn't react for a moment.
"Wang." Peter was very curious that Yu Yun didn't know who his boss was: "Wang, he hates the Japanese the most. He hates every monkey on that island. He wants to kill them all. But I, but
He’s just doing what he did!”
Yu Yun nodded silently.
Heng Shuai's influence on Peter was too great. Depressed, he suddenly discovered that in fact, every move of Peter was deliberately imitating Heng Shuai. Heng Shuai's attitude towards the Japanese, Heng Shuai's movements when he spoke, and even some of Heng Shuai's not-so-known things.
Little habits to pay attention to...
Perhaps from the day Peter met Hengshuai, he could no longer escape the shadow of Wang Hengyue in his life...
It's just that Peter doesn't even know it himself...
"If one day I really become the president of the United States as you said, I will definitely join forces with my boss to completely wipe Japan off the map!"
Yu Yun was really shocked this time.
Everyone knows that Hengshuai hates Japan, but it seems that compared to Pete, he hates Japanese people even less. Has Hengshuai's influence on Pete really reached such a great extent?
The American youths outside the window seemed to be tired from the beating, and they spat fiercely at the Japanese on the ground, and then walked over here.
After a while the doorbell rang.
Yu Yun went over and opened the door and saw an Asian girl. The American youth was startled for a moment, and the leader asked tentatively: "Chinese?"
Seeing Yu Yun nodding, several American young people showed smiles on their faces: "Ah, Chinese, our friends. Miss, is Senator Pete here? They said they can find the senator here."
Pete flashed out: "I am."
"Hello, Senator Pitt." The American young man in the lead said: "We are from the University of California, Berkeley. We are here to visit you specially. If we are lucky enough to be able to invite you to our school to give a wonderful speech, it will be great."
It’s an honor for our whole school!”
"Please come in." Pete, who has completely regarded Yu Yun's place as his home, invited a few young Americans in and asked them to sit down: "What kind of speech do you need me to give?"
These young Americans seemed a little nervous when facing the senators, but the leader was more courageous: "As for the expulsion of the Japanese, they took away our jobs, took away our land, and destroyed the entire
American order, they should all be sent to hell..."
Pete was very satisfied with their attitude and always had a smile on his face.
Several young Americans seemed very nervous, and they had no idea whether they could invite Peter.
Pete thought about it for a moment: "I just recalled my schedule, and I have two hours the day after tomorrow in the afternoon."
"Ah, Senator, so you agreed to our request?" The American youth suddenly became excited: "Great, this will be one of the most exciting moments in the history of the school. There are a lot of you in the school.
Admirer, once the news spreads that you are coming to speak, the whole school will be in a sensation."
Pete solemnly agreed to these students and continued to discuss the situation on the day of the speech. Only then did the several American youths leave with satisfaction.
"Are you really going to the University of California, Berkeley?" Yu Yun asked after closing the door.
Seeing Peter nod his head: "That is a prestigious school with a glorious tradition. Did you agree to just an invitation from a few students? Maybe I think we should think about it again."
"Even people from Berkeley invited me, which shows that my speech is very inspiring and completely correct. The entire United States has already taken action!" Pete excitedly waved his fist and cheered like a child.
Then he said:
"My name will be left there, Cornwell S. Pitt, and everyone will remember what a wonderful speech I gave there many, many years later!"
