1855 United States Tycoon

Because the newspapers in the east made a big mistake recently, they frivolously promoted things with obvious loopholes, and as a result, the local newspapers issued "Low-ranking personnel like Paul Nestor, how can He De get in touch with it?" After questioning about such confidentiality, they immediately became confused when they saw it, either pretending to be invisible, or playing tricks like "We have reliable news sources, but we can't tell you".

Such poor performance has naturally led to a major shift in the direction of public opinion. Although the local newspaper still can't suppress the vote of the New York newspaper due to circulation and other reasons, at least, it is now offensive and defensive. In the past, those newspapers in New York were frantically splashing dirty water, while newspapers in San Francisco were desperately washing the floor. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the difficulty of splashing dirty water is always lower than washing clean. In addition, there are far more people throwing dirty water than people washing the ground, so in the previous period, the newspapers in the west were simply left and right, and they weren't opponents at all. But now, the situation is reversed. It's the turn of the West to pour dirty water and the East to wash the ground. Thanks to the second law of thermodynamics, the smaller Western newspapers have gradually turned the situation around. Look at the surge in these newspapers. The sales can be seen. Well, even guys like "The Sun" have already played in "The Shame Game of Scrooge and Little Dorothea", "The Shame of a Twelve-Year-Old Girl", and "JP Morgan's Haitian Feast" "News reports" that the broad masses of silver people like to hear and see have fallen back steadily. Even the popularity of "Little Girls Have Three Goods" is about to catch up with the use of certain components to propel the small train.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Stanford hurriedly cleansed himself up. He continuously interviewed reporters to refute all kinds of slanders against him. Of course, pushing the minivan, which is not worth refuting at all, would not be included. Anyway, in this more than a week, Stanford has almost washed himself white and fragrant. This has also made Stanford's mood a lot better lately, but in any case, this round of attacks launched by the vampires on Wall Street still disrupted the process of railway construction to a certain extent. Thinking of this, Stanford was in a sunny mood, but a lot of clouds appeared again.

At this moment, his secretary rashly broke in, holding a large stack of newspapers in his hand, and shouted at him, "Mr. Stanford, something has happened!"

"What's the matter! Konnis, pay attention to your image! What's the matter, it's worth the fuss." Stanford said.

"Mr. Stanford, this is today's New York Daily Times." The secretary said breathlessly. "There is a full page on it, a full page of new evidence about Chinese industrial ships."

"What?" Stanford grabbed the newspaper and read it.

"With the help of some righteous staff from the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of the United States, we got the opportunity to board a ship transporting Chinese workers directly at sea..." Stanford only felt bitter in his mouth and his legs started. He was trembling a little, almost unable to stand. He supported the table with his hand and sat down slowly. After a long time, he stabilized his mood again, picked up the newspaper and read it again.

"Under the leadership of First Mate Dunn, we boarded the ship with the translator Mr. Tai Yang, a Chinese immigrant and a veteran who joined the Federal Army and won several medals during the civil war not long ago. Captain. Mr. Schmidt told us that when he set off, his ship was carrying 352 Chinese people, but because his ship was not a passenger ship, 21 cargo ships, the environment was very bad. So along the way Many people died. Until now, there are only 101 survivors left on the ship. The others were thrown into the sea according to sea habits after death. I was able to check the logbook again as a seizure officer. It clearly records how many people are thrown into the sea every day. This is really horrible (there is also a photo of the relevant content in the logbook next to it). The ship doctor also told us that because of lack of preparation and lack of medicine, they simply could not To provide medical treatment for those Chinese people, just take the patients out of the crowd, isolate them, and throw them directly into the sea when they die. The Chinese people on the ship told us through an interpreter that they suspected that the patients were thrown directly into the sea. They were in the sea, not after Death. Of course they thought they were kept in the warehouse, so they didn’t really see this. And because of the misunderstanding caused by language barriers, they had conflicts with the crew, so they Although this statement and Captain Paul Nestor's statement can be mutually confirmed, but we follow the teachings of some media that pay attention to the ethics of journalists to remind everyone that this is still only a possibility and cannot be fully believed.

And through translating Mr. Tai Yang, we learned that these Chinese people are not so-called “free workers” who are hired. Some of them are prisoners bought from local officials or “pig babies” bought from gangsters ( The gang robs the population and sells them to those in need. This practice is cryptically called'buying a pig baby' in China.) There is a gentleman named Shenhelin who can write the Chinese character on the ship, who writes it in Chinese In view of their experience, we invited Mr. Strauss, a professor of linguistics at Harvard University, to translate these texts.

It is understood that most of these Chinese people were arrested in the last rebellion that tried to overthrow the Manchu dynasty. The Chinese officials gave them a death sentence, and then sold them to the Central Pacific Railway Company...Here is a picture of the Chinese version of the situation of the Chinese recorded by Mr. Shen Helin. There are 100 surviving ones on it. For the fingerprints pressed by one person, please refer to the notes to the fifth edition for the relevant translation...

Now the truth is very clear. Just after years of bloody struggle, we finally completely buried the barbarous and backward slave system, but the new poison of slavery has quietly grown in the west. If this behavior is left unchecked Let it grow wildly, so many years later, we may be faced with another war against slavery, and it is necessary for a president to issue a new "Proclamation for the Emancipation of the Yellow Slaves." This situation should appear in a free country like ours where the Stars and Stripes are always flying high, the hometown of warriors? The occurrence of such a thing is simply trampling on the spirit of the founding of the United States, trampling on America's dream, and blaspheming the soldiers who died fighting for the freedom of United States!

We noticed that just a few days ago, the chairman of the Central Pacific Railway Company, a moral role model, humanitarian, and Christian Mr. Stanford, in front of the media, in the name of Sacred’s God, assured us that the Central Pacific Railway Company would never He has never done anything to buy slaves from Manchu and Qing officials with money; he assured us that the Central Pacific Railway Company did not have it in the past, does not have it now, and will not do anything contrary to the spirit of United States in the future. Now, I don’t know, what will our Mr. Stanford tell us? Facing such a mountain of iron proof, what does he have to tell us in the name of Sacred's God? Is it telling us that he is acting as a slave owner under the banner of God, or is it telling us that he doesn't know anything about it? Or simply close your eyes, cover your ears, and shout: ‘I don’t see anything’?

If Mr. Stanford claims that he has no knowledge of these things, then we have to ask, how did Mr. Stanford's chairman become? Why hasn't he rolled down from his chairmanship and cede his position to those who can really effectively manage the company? If Mr. Stanford is willing to confess his deception to the entire United States people and even God, then, although he confessed under the irrefutable evidence, he still has the courage to face his own crimes anyway. But any crime should be punished. Of course, such a slave trader and a hypocrite should no longer stay in the position of chairman of the Central Pacific Railway Company, which is related to the lives of countless people and the future development of United States. Both the federal government and Congress should act urgently to reorganize the Central Pacific Railway Company to prevent similar things from happening again..."

The newspaper slipped from Stanford's hands. This was definitely a heavy, fatal blow. This is true for both Stanford and Central Pacific Railroad. Stanford slumped in his chair and closed his eyes weakly. He knew that he had already lost this round, a miserable loss. There is probably no chance of a comeback again. Those guys who were united around him, when the situation is wrong, they will definitely leave themselves without hesitation and draw a clear line with themselves. And those local media who were still speaking for themselves yesterday will definitely return to the East. The media attacked him with harsher and more vicious arguments to prove that he was a good person who was deceived.

"Dorothea, that Stanford has announced his resignation." Scrooge waved a newspaper and smiled and said to Dorothea who was sitting not far away doing math problems.

"Damn it, don't bother me! It's the last step... Okay, that's it! I did it!" Dorothea cheered, and then she asked suspiciously, "Scrooge, what did you just say?"

"Stanford announced that he has taken the blame and resigned." Scrooge said.

"Is that the bastard who arranged us!" Dorothea's eyes widened, and Scrooge suddenly felt that the indoor temperature seemed to have dropped by two degrees.

"Deserve it! This kind of guy has done a lot of dirty things on his own, and he likes to jump out and pretend to be Sage! That's what it deserves! He is going to die by himself! Oh, yes, Scrooge, now the Central Pacific Railway Company The stock should have fallen in a mess, right? Should we hurry up and get in a little bit?"
