Chapter 225 Undercurrents

On May 3, 1908, the US government abolished the Chinese Exclusion Act and relaxed many restrictions on Chinese people, and the speed of Chinese immigrating to the United States increased again.

When the White House in Washington, President Theodore Roosevelt, President's senior adviser Pat Rouse, National Security Advisor James Jones, Secretary of State Roth and other senior government officials finished their work and were bored, they commented on Chen Hao, the strong leader of the Republic of Lanfang, and discussed whether they could cooperate in depth with the Republic of Lanfang.

Secretary of State Luo Tuo obviously had little affection for Chen Hao and sighed: "God, I really can't believe that the Lanfang Republic will allow such a reckless and unaware of the advance and retreat to serve as the Minister of Finance. I even heard that this person will take over as the Prime Minister of the Lanfang Republic, which is incredible."

National Security Advisor James Jones agreed: "Indeed, in public, it is too unconsiderable to confront the Japanese and have violent conflicts. The Japanese are definitely vengeful to treat vulnerable races. Although the subsequent assassination incident failed, such a thing is enough to show that Mr. Chen is really too reckless."

Seeing that someone agreed with his point of view, Luo Tuo became excited and continued to criticize: "In just a few days in the United States, Chen Hao first got into the Japanese who could not afford to offend, causing a disaster. Then, he became flirted with others, jealous, and then took his life away.

Such a person who does nothing but does not have the right to lead a country. If he will serve as prime minister in the future, I don’t think we have to cooperate in depth with them.”

Theodore Roosevelt leaned comfortably on the sofa and saw that Roth was so disgusting Chen Hao, he couldn't help but laugh.

After Luo Tuo finished speaking, Roosevelt smiled and said, "Mr. Secretary of State, I heard that Mr. Chen Hao is a young man who is only 27 years old. A person of this age has great power. If he does not have any blood or motivation, it will seem unreasonable. I believe that as he grows older, Mr. Chen Hao will calm down and become mature and steady."

"Mr. President, what do you mean is to cooperate in depth with the Republic of Lan Fang?" Root heard the implication from Roosevelt's words defending Chen Hao.

Theodore Roosevelt nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Rouse has the same view."

Everyone looked at the President's senior adviser, Pate Rolls, who smiled and said, "Mr. Secretary of State, have you not read the newspaper? In the newspaper, Mr. Chen Hao was portrayed as a promising young man who is kind and brave and brave. Now, he has become a role model for overseas Chinese and praised by all Chinese people."

Luo Tuo frowned and said, "I have always been resisting the sensational things in the newspapers and never trust them."

Pate Rous said, "I won't talk about the rest. Let me talk about Mr. Chen's hygiene measures. Since the Lanfang Republic has launched a national hygiene campaign under the governance of Mr. Chen. So much so that not only the Chinese in the Lanfang Republic, but also the Chinese in the United States have been influenced by him and have become more hygiene than whites.

From this point alone, we can see that Mr. Chen is very courageous and visionary in his work. Moreover, he attaches great importance to the world's advanced technological development. Our intelligence personnel found that he had visited Chinese airplane performances and donated a sum of money to the aircraft manufacturer.

From this we can see that Mr. Chen is not as simple as it seems. Although this person is a little reckless in his work, I believe that after a few years of experience, he will definitely become a wise leader among the new generation of Chinese people."

Roosevelt continued: "Since he has the potential to develop, we can properly support him so that we can join forces with the Republic of Lanfang to jointly deal with the British-Japanese alliance in the future."

.....

Pofilio Dias Mori, the longest-serving president in Mexico's history, was known as the dark Pofilio era 35 years after 1876.

On November 23, 1876, the famous Latin American champion Dias seized the Mexican regime by force and took office as interim president of the Mexican government, and began the dark rule of nearly 30 years in Mexican history.

After Dias seized power, he defected to foreign imperialism and allowed foreign capitalists to plunder Mexico's natural resources at will.

Foreign capital, especially the US capital, poured in in large quantities, controlling 85% of Mexican oil fields. People satirized Mexico under Dias as the mother of foreigners.

Inwardly, Diaz implemented the so-called "bread and stick" policy. He gave bread to all those who supported him, generously distributed the land and wealth of Mexico to landlords, monks, imperialists and their minions, and put his gang members to various departments and local officials.

On the other hand, giving the people a "stick", extremely cruelly exploiting and oppressing the working people, assassinating dissidents, and filling the whole country with hunger, poverty and murder.

Historical scholars say that Mexico under his rule is a paradise for all kinds of exploiters and social parasites, and on the other hand, it is a hell for the working people.

As American businessmen are becoming increasingly influential, Dias hopes to develop agricultural modernization so that Mexican agriculture can enter the international market and reduce its dependence on American funds.

However, Mexico's most landed estate owners were not satisfied. They wanted to maintain the feudal debt serf system and were unwilling to transform into a capitalist economy.

Although Dias hopes to develop modernization, it will not go against the wishes of the owners, because he will also rely on the support of these owners.

In fact, the officials appointed by Dias used local armed police to support the owners in the gradually eroding the collective land in the rural areas.

In the countryside, in order to establish large capitalist farms, the Dias government plundered a large number of lands of Mexican farmers, mainly composed of Indians and Indian mixed races.

Whether it is the commons of the Indian commune or the land cultivated by farmers for generations, it was occupied by government officials, manor owners and land speculators for free because they were unable to provide evidence that comply with legal procedures.

The land merger has reached an astonishing level. More than 30 million acres of land in Baja California are owned by four people, and 15 land in the country is concentrated in the hands of 17 people.

Most of the farmers who were driven out of their homes became serfs of the big manors. The tricks and the bankruptcy of the big manors seriously damaged Mexican agriculture.

A large number of farmers are short of food and clothing and are struggling on the brink of death, and many people are on the road of resistance.

Under such circumstances, it is easy for the Liberation Party to infiltrate Mexico.
