Chapter 633 The White Beauty Act

"Our boss has known from the beginning that with the current capabilities of the Ottoman Empire, it will be a matter of time before this enclave is lost. Our United Company is a commercial company, and it is neither rational nor realistic to confront a country for a long time. It's just that

It is for the company's development in the Middle East that we accepted the request from Constantinople." Brown was talking eloquently, looking at the beach not far away and changing the subject, "But asking us and the Italians to surrender is a bit...

It's an insult to the dignity of our joint company. After nearly a year of fighting, we know very well the strength of this country."

"Mrs. Anne is a French aristocrat. She is patriotic and knows that France attaches great importance to North Africa. With the approval of the boss, we handed over control of the land we still had to France as a new option. We have two options.

This is a basic requirement. First of all, we hope that the entire Mediterranean route will receive the same treatment as the French company."

"The second is the symbolic military expenditure for the evacuation of the mercenary army. This amount is about three hundred thousand US dollars."

Sheffield has really never thought about being a good person and doing good deeds for once. Furthermore, he just patted his butt and left for sex. What should the French do when they encounter a good thing like pie in the sky but hesitate? There are people all over the world with persecutory delusions.

More often than not, it is more appropriate to wrap things up in a bubble of interest.

After saying this, Colonel Gabriel no longer had any doubts, and he felt that this matter was feasible. It seemed that God had been kind to the great France, and after so many years, he finally had an opportunity to fight without bloodshed.

The slave owners across the Atlantic knew one thing correctly. The French had the ability to take military action from North Africa without relying on the mainland. They had occupied Algeria for more than 80 years.

"Now the Italian government and the Ottomans are negotiating. Of course, they must take advantage of the victory of the Balkan Alliance to obtain favorable terms. However, our army is still in our own hands. The United States is a free country. I think we have the right to choose who to surrender to.

Brown paused at this point and said, "The choice now lies with Paris, Mr. Colonel."

"I am very happy to facilitate this matter. Although I have never been back, I also admire Lady Anne very much, who has been praised by many politicians and enterprises." When Colonel Gabriel spoke, his fists under the table were clenched very tightly. He felt

It seems that he will usher in a new era of French glory.

If this enclave is occupied, the entire North Africa, except Egypt, will completely fall into French hands. The entire North African colonies will be connected together, and half of the Mediterranean Sea will be French territory. This prospect is very exciting.

"If everything goes well, we will complete the handover with the French army. I am also happy that that day will come soon." Brown congratulated with a smile, "Maybe the next time I see the colonel, you will already be a general."

"If there is such a day, I really want to meet Mr. and Mrs. Sheffield." Colonel Gabriel said with a smile, as if he was already delighted by the pie that was falling on his head.

"After my boss is busy for a while, there should be opportunities in the future." Brown nodded and ended the conversation.

Colonel Gabriel also wanted to report the specific activities here to Paris, but Brown would not do so. Sheffield was really busy with things at the moment.

Across the Atlantic, the federal government of the United States is being quarreled by a bill that has not appeared in history.

Protests against this bill occurred all over the country. Even New York, where Sheffield is located, the New York Police Department entered a state of tension and arrested demonstrators into the police station.

As for outside the Congress in Washington, groups from all over the country came after hearing the news, and they also surrounded the place.

Jesra was leaning outside a car, with his hands on his chest and looking around without scruples. Behind him were a group of men wearing black and gold armbands, as well as some FBI agents in suits.

This configuration would not allow the demonstrators to burn the car. Jesra was very confident about this. He looked back at the familiar face and said, "Grant, how was your life in the FBI? Isn't it better than in the FBI?"

Is it much easier when you are in the company?”

"I'm busier than when I was in the company, manager, and the pay is even less." Grant smiled bitterly and pointed at the crowd of protesters dozens of meters away. "It's annoying to deal with these people every day."

"Don't call me manager. You are an FBI agent now. Don't let your director think I'm doing something secretly." Jesra smiled brightly, lit a cigar, and distributed the rest to the other agents.

He said, "Boss and I will never forget you. We will always keep your monthly salary for you. You can go to United Bank to get it at any time."

"I don't know where these people came from. I heard that there were protests in various cities." Grant took a whiff of the cigar and looked at the currently relatively orderly protest crowd and wondered.

Not far away were people holding slogans to protest against the legislation passed by Congress. Jesra glanced at it with disdain and said disdainfully, "There is no doubt that it was brought about by the Republicans. They don't want our country to get better.

This bill will definitely pass. The blame lies with the Republican Party’s own split, which gave the Democratic Party the opportunity to control everything from the federal government to the state governments. This opportunity was seized by the boss to put a nail in Lincoln’s coffin first.”

Inside the Congress, Vice President Thomas Marshall, who had been troubled by the noise for several days, pushed up his glasses, looked at the chaotic Congress and said, "Now let's vote on the amendment to the immigration law."

Everyone passed the vote happily, which is what Marshall wanted to see. However, this vote was different from the past. It aroused fierce opposition from Republicans. First of all, this is a permanent bill, and of course this is not important.

The main content of the bill is that this amendment to the immigration law prohibits the right of immigrants from countries other than Europe to immigrate to the United States. This includes all countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is actually a replica of Australia's White Australia Policy.

In fact, it is more stringent than Australia's White Australia Policy. The reason for this stringency is that residents of American countries are prohibited from immigrating to the United States. The new bill combines all the bills in the southern states that discriminate against people of color. Even the white ethnic groups in Latin America are the same.

I have not let it go. If there is a ceiling for racial discrimination, this bill is it. It is no worse than the similar bill in South Africa now, and South Africa does not exclude people from Latin American countries.

Even mixed-race people in Latin America are excluded, including all non-European ethnic groups. This is the reason why this bill has caused huge criticism. Nowadays, groups protesting everywhere include blacks and Latinos.

Once this kind of bill is passed, it will almost destroy the foundation for Lincoln to be on the altar. This is something that the Republicans cannot bear. The reason why they suppressed the Democratic Party for so long during the Civil War is because of Lincoln's emancipation of the black slaves.

Taking the moral high ground, or so the Republicans thought.

Sheffield doesn't think so. The fundamental reason why the Republican Party maintains its advantage is that it wins. Most people like to stand on the side of the winner to prove that they have been right all along and that the Republicans have a wrong understanding.

Thanks to the split of the Republican Party, Sheffield finally seized the opportunity similar to that before the Civil War, when the Democratic Party in the north and the south each introduced candidates, which led to Lincoln coming to power. The Republican Party had many supporters, but its voice was not as loud as that of the Progressive Party. Roosevelt split the Republican Party

The opportunity was seized by him.

After several months of deliberation, the Immigration Amendment Bill was officially submitted to Congress. After several days of discussion, the Republican and Progressive Party members were too unreasonable, so they had to rely on the numerical advantage of the House and Senate to pass it.

In Congress, where there was absolutely nothing to discuss, Democratic members directly voted to pass the bill, leaving Republican members and members of the Progressive Party aside. Immediately afterwards, the vote on the women's equal rights bill was also passed.

News of the passage of the bill instantly triggered a crowd of protesters outside Congress, who were pushing and shouting to protest against the passage of this retrogressive bill. The police and FBI agents were on standby, ready to disperse the crowd and make arrests.

criminal.

"Boss, both bills have passed." Jesra, who had been watching in Washington, dialed Sheffield's number.

"Okay!" Sheffield weakly stretched out his hand to touch Louisa Morgan's long hair before quickly hanging up the phone. At this time, Louisa Morgan, who was kneeling with her head buried in her head, stood up and winked, "So soon.

Hang up the phone, are you afraid that your loyal subordinates will hear how debauched and unethical your omnipotent boss is in his eyes?"

"You should zip up my zipper first!" Sheffield muttered disapprovingly, "You are not as good as Edith Rockefeller in this regard. It is true that only an older woman knows how to take careful care."

Louisa Morgan was unhappy when she heard this and said dissatisfied, "Has she ever served you like this?"

"There are people more bold than you!" Sheffield sniffed involuntarily as if he was addicted to cigarettes, "Stop it, I am a quiet person, especially I don't want to quarrel. Anyway, Jesla reported it

This is gratifying news. I guess the Republicans are furious, but you can’t blame me for that. If you do, blame Roosevelt for splitting the Republican Party.”

"I'm just afraid of riots!" Louisa Morgan rinsed her mouth and said vaguely, "I also think that this bill is not good for the image of the United States."

"As a friend of the police across the United States, I will support any action taken by the police to deal with protests." Sheffield lowered his voice and said, "There is only one police academy in the entire United States, and I happened to sponsor the establishment."
