Chapter 173: Nissi of America
The United States is a country composed of immigrants, and the native Indians in the United States have been almost killed.
Not only Europeans, but also East Asians, such as island countries, came to this land.
The island countries encouraged immigration to the Americas since the late 19th century to obtain more remittances and alleviate population problems. Before World War II, there were a large number of Japanese residents in the United States, of which 150,000 were in Hawaii. They were called "Nice", which is the homonym of the Japanese "II".
These Japanese people are at least descended from the first generation of immigrants in the United States, so they are called II. They were born in the United States, so they are actually unfamiliar with the island countries, and their values and moral orientations are no different from ordinary citizens in the United States. In terms of their attitude towards island countries, most of the "Nesi" positions are very clear. They are Americans, not islanders.
Unfortunately, from the eyes of Americans who suffered heavy losses in Pearl Harbor, these Nissi are of course harmful!
Historically, before the island countries attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States was already preparing for the war. For example, in 1936, in accordance with Roosevelt's instructions, the United States began to compile a list of dangerous people, including a considerable number of foreigners. By 1940, Congress passed the National Alien Registration Act, requiring all foreign citizens to register fingerprints and not to possess firearms, explosives and wireless transmission devices.
After the war broke out, the United States immediately activated the wartime mechanism. On the day of the Pearl Harbor incident, thousands of foreign citizens were detained, of which 737 were Japanese. These arrested Japanese were mainly leaders of some organizations and Japanese language school teachers.
Later, Roosevelt signed Executive Order No. 9066 in February 1942, so that all foreigners of Japanese descent and American citizens must move from the West Coast of the United States under the name of wartime needs. It is nominally called a resettlement center, but it is actually no different from the concentration camps in Germany.
These Nissi were physically and mentally exhausted. They felt that they were innocent. They demanded to participate in the war and showed their loyalty to the United States on the battlefield. After the US military regained the initiative on the Pacific battlefield, the United States began to allow Japanese people to join the army in order to make up for the shortage of the army. As a result, the Japanese people fought extremely hard. During the entire war, they won 3,600 Purple Heart Medals, 810 Bronze Star Medals, 342 Silver Star Medals, etc. Accompanied by huge casualties, and many troops were even beaten to less than 30% of the remaining people.
They used their passion and life to write their loyalty to the United States. Only after the war did these Japanese regain their status in the United States.
In fact, the island countries did develop their intelligence personnel in Nice, but it is impossible for most Japanese people to live in Hawaii and the west coast of the United States as the US government thought. The island government may want to control Hawaii through Japanese people, and even receive support from these Japanese people when the island countries landed on the west coast.
The current development is not as good as in history. After the Pearl Harbor incident, domestic public opinion in the United States was in full swing, causing many extreme emotions. The American people smashed Japanese-American stores and attacked them personally.
However, the Japanese have not been imprisoned and have not entered concentration camps. Ordinary Japanese people can still move freely, especially on the east coast of the United States, which is not as strong as the west coast.
But now, President Roosevelt was shot by a Japanese in New York! As soon as this incident happened, the United States became even more excited. In their eyes, killing all these Nissi was the best way!
And now, the person involved, Roosevelt, is the enemy in Nice's eyes, the hero of the Americans, and the United States needs Roosevelt!
Roosevelt has been shot, but he is still performing his duties as president. As a presidential candidate, he needs to give a speech!
When Roosevelt arrived at the venue, it was an hour later. At this time, everyone in the venue heard that the president was shot, so when Roosevelt was pushed up in a wheelchair, he attracted the attention of the audience.
There was already a commotion in the conference venue, and many people wanted to express their gratitude to Roosevelt and express their anger towards the Japanese.
"Please be quiet! First of all, I want to ask everyone to keep quiet as much as possible! Everyone knows that I just got shot. But the bullets were not strong enough to kill me. As long as I don't die, I will continue to fight for the United States. The people of the island want me to die immediately because I have seen the conspiracy of the island country. Unfortunately, our people are still immersed in the idea of being out of the matter." As Roosevelt's words, everyone present fell silent.
Yes, in the past few years, the isolationism in the United States was quite serious, and Americans did not want to participate in the war, but now, the war is still coming.
Roosevelt was chosen by God and turned the tide in times of crisis!
"I am lucky and still alive now, just like our motherland. Although the islanders bombed Hawaii, we still stand and we will not fall. We in the United States will persevere and us will usher in the final victory. I also hope that I will lead the United States to the final victory. I firmly believe that victory will eventually belong to us!"
Roosevelt's words made the people present excited. Yes, only President Roosevelt can lead the United States to victory!
"The bullet is still in my chest, so I don't plan to talk for too long, but I promise you I will do my best." Roosevelt took out his speech and began his speech.
Military construction issues, economic issues, campaign programs, and the brief speech that Roosevelt gave for two full hours. In the meantime, due to the pain, he paused from time to time, and sometimes couldn't speak.
But he still insisted.
A president who is tenacious, tenacious and wise will definitely lead the United States well!
After the speech, Roosevelt was finally sent to the hospital. Lying in the car, Roosevelt was still wondering why his experience was so similar to his uncle!
Fortunately, the warhead did not enter deeply. After two hours of operation, the warhead in Roosevelt was removed and the wound was bandaged. Roosevelt's body was still relatively weak.
In the special care unit, Roosevelt saw his think tank.
"Mr. President, the latest poll, your approval rating has increased by at least ten percentage points, especially in New York, with higher approval ratings," Hopkins said excitedly.
Roosevelt felt the pain of the wound and said to Hopkins: "But the price is not small. Hopkins, your plan is really risky."
If the accurate head is almost hitting his head, he will be finished. Thinking of this, Roosevelt was a little scared.
Chapter completed!
