Zhang Lisheng's words were sharp, but Allison easily found the loophole in his words. "You're changing the concept to avoid the most essential problem, Dr. Zhang. The ancestors of the American Indians or our African Americans were indeed in a primitive society 200 to 300 years ago, but they were all Earthlings while the natives of Shrimp World No. 2 were not. This is the most critical problem!"
Zhang Lisheng had already considered the 'US 51 State Plan'. Upon hearing Allison's doubt, he smiled and said, "Miss Officer, your so-called most critical problem is actually a kind of arrogant prejudice.
At the end of the 18th century, the US began to move westward. At that time, the white people still did not treat the Indians as' people 'in the true sense. Otherwise, they would not have openly used spears, caravans, and fast horses to plunder their wealth and land without any uneasiness.
In the middle of the 19th century, before President Abraham Lincoln signed the Abolition Act, blacks were still used as livestock slaves in the US. As for the racial segregation system, it even lasted until the 1960s and 1970s of the last century.
In that case, what was the reason that made the white people in the US miraculously willing to treat other ethnic groups as equal citizens in just a few decades? Was it the progress of civilization? Or was it the kindness of God that made all the white people in the US suddenly become enlightened?
Everyone who liked to think independently and had a slight understanding of US history would understand that those Ku Klux Klan thugs who wore black hoods and loved to choose an oak tree to hang on the street when they were young, please forgive me for imitating their tone and using this inappropriate term. The Ku Klux Klan thugs would not suddenly become non-prejudiced against people of other skin colors after they became old.
The reason for all these changes in reality was that with the acceleration of the immigration process, the total number of ethnic minorities in the US has already surpassed the white people. The power of these people could even elect a black person as the president.
In this case, racism has become a 'street rat.' It's the change of the situation, not any 'civilization' or religious reason that made the Indians, black people, Chinese, and Mexicans to become the 'people' of the US.
What's the current situation? Our Earth has become a 'Colossal World' and the humans on Earth have become a veritable minority in this' world 'in this broad sense. In such a situation, I think the answer is self-evident whether the US should be complacent or open its mind! "
"Wow! You were born in the US, right, Doctor?" After listening to the young man's impassioned statement, Allison asked with a long sigh of relief.
"I'm Chinese, but I was born in St. George Hospital in Brooklyn, New York."
"Oh, it doesn't matter where you're from. What's important is that you're born in the US," the black female officer shrugged. "I almost treated the carriage as the Congress Hall when I heard your words just now. Perhaps 20 years later, you'll become the leader of the Western free society. Erm, no, it's not 'perhaps' but it 'is very possible.
You're young, smart, calm but passionate when you speak, and open-minded. More importantly, you have a net worth of tens of billions of dollars and a background of a top biologist. The US people like you … "
"But the number of Chinese in the US is too small, so I can never be elected as the US president," Zhang Lisheng interrupted Allison with a smile. "Don't be naive, Miss. There's no absolute 'democracy' in this world. There's only a competition of forces."
"Who knows what will happen in the future? Besides, even if you can't become the US president, you'll definitely become an influential big shot. Or rather, you're already a big shot now." The female captain smiled and her tone changed as she said sincerely and affectionately, "Doctor, the US has given you so much, so I hope you won't hurt this motherland that has treated you with kindness …"
"I won't, Miss Allison. I won't," Zhang Lisheng became silent for a while before replying seriously.
"Thank you, I'm done asking." The female officer nodded to the young man gratefully and smiled wryly at James. "Mr. James, I'm done asking. Looks like 'language' can't deter 'wealth.' We should send our billionaire to the town and let him have a good rest."
"Miss Allison, there are many billionaires being tried in the US. It's not that 'language' can't deter 'wealth.' It's just that other than normal business competition, I've never taken the initiative to harm anyone's interests and rights. I have no enemies, only friends. Not only that, but everything I think about is for the benefit of the majority of people. This is the key point," Zhang Lisheng interjected with a smile.
"Perhaps, Dr. Zhang. Perhaps one day, your Shrimp B1 Island can really become the 51st state of the US, and those short indigenous people who worship you can really become US citizens." Allison nodded again and casually replied.
"Oh, Miss Lieutenant, it sounds like you're still prejudiced against the natives of Shrimp World No. 2. Okay, I'll tell you something more practical.
The trees on Shrimp B1 Island are more resistant to burning than coal, and the heat generated is also higher than the best coke. On top of that, there will be a magical moonlight that falls on this island every 30 to 50 years, catalyzing the birth of thousands of supernatural creatures. The side effect is that dense vegetation will grow on the bare woodland. Do you know what this means? "
"A natural coal mine or even an oil field with an area of 30,000 square kilometers that can be regenerated once every 50 years!" Allison was stunned and could not help but blurt out.
"I have to admit that your brain works really fast, Miss Officer," Zhang Lisheng said with a smile. At this time, the car suddenly stopped. James, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up and opened the door. With a blank expression, he said, "We've arrived at Feren City. You can leave now, Mr. Zhang."
"Alright, goodbye then, Agent James." Zhang Lisheng smiled at the middle-aged white man whose eyes were still filled with anger. Standing up, he finally glanced at the beautiful female captain beside him. "The Shrimp B1 Island Comprehensive Development Company under my name has already begun to carry out preliminary energy mining on Shrimp B1 Island. If you're interested, you can learn more about it.
I sincerely hope that more and more people can understand my thoughts. Goodbye, Miss Alison. " After saying that, the young man jumped out of the SUV in two steps and took a few deep breaths outside the door before walking away quickly.
Looking at his disappearing back, James said coldly, "What a bombastic visionary. He even wants to use us as propaganda for his absurd delusions. My intuition tells me that he must be hiding many secrets that no one knows."
"Sir, I think that Dr. Zhang's 51st State of the United States Plan is very creative." The only female agent in the car hesitated for a while before whispering.
"Then you've been bewitched by him, Jenny. I admit that this guy's words are very provocative, especially to a young man like you who likes to come into contact with new things. However, think about it carefully. I can't think of a more bizarre solution to the problem than letting the supernatural realm's people become the citizens of the United States of America.
Those aborigines of Shrimp World No. 2 can't even be considered as' human ', "James said in a low voice and turned his gaze to the female officer who had a thoughtful expression on her face. James said in a low voice and turned to look at the female officer who had a thoughtful expression on her face. "Captain Alison, I'll suggest in the report to raise the target's attention level from C to B. What do you think?"
"You're a senior agent of the FBI, so I can't comment on your attitude. However, Mr. James, I need to remind you that the reality is that even if we raise the attention to A, it's still difficult for us to grasp Dr. Zhang's weakness. He's too cautious. Almost everything he does has sufficient reasons to support it …"
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to let it go and do nothing even though we know that there's something wrong with him?" James could tell that Alison was being tactful, but her actual attitude was already leaning towards Zhang Lisheng. For this reason, he interrupted her and asked with a deep frown.
"I don't know, Mr. James, I don't know …" After a moment of silence, the female officer sighed and turned her gaze to the outside of the car. Staring at the night sky, she fell into deep thought. At the same time, Zhang Lisheng, who she did not know how to deal with, was staring at the cold wind on the dark street while talking to his professional manager on the phone. "I can't recognize where I am, Charlie. There are only simple prefab houses on both sides of the road.
What the hell? I don't know if I'm in New Mexico or a slum in Mexico. There's no electricity here, and I even saw people burning dead trees in the desert to keep themselves warm. "
"Don't worry, boss. It's okay if you can't recognize where you are. You just need to keep walking north along the road and you should be able to meet us soon," Charlie explained on the phone. "Feren City used to have less than 10,000 people, so the load of the city's power grid is very small. When added together, it's just enough to meet the airport's operation.
After the municipal government voted with all the citizens and decided to sell electricity to the airport at a higher price, we can only burn wood for heating and lighting at night. However, it's said that a new power grid can be laid in winter. By then …
Oh, I see you, boss! I see you … "
After a shout, the phone next to the young man's ear was hung up. Then, he saw a large off-road jeep slowly driving towards them in front of the road. The back window of the jeep was rolled down, and a white man with a fat round face who looked between middle-aged and old stretched his head out. "Here, boss. We're here."
"Stop shouting, Charlie. Your face is not as inconspicuous as you think." Zhang Lisheng waved his hand and walked quickly to the jeep. Just as he was about to open the door and get in, he saw the door being pushed open all of a sudden. Maddie stretched her body out and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Lisheng?"
"Of course, I'm fine. Those federal agents are fine too. Everything's fine, Maddie," Zhang Lisheng replied with a smile.
