Chapter 26 Act 24 The Trial of McKinley

The scene is the same as Act 1. God Lee: (Stands up, knocks the gavel) Now announce the opening of the 24th Court of the "Last Judgment" (sit down).Biography accused the 25th President of the United States William McKinley (William McKinley). (McKinley stands up.) God Lee: You are McKinley, born in 1843, the 25th President of the United States. McKinley: Yes. God Lee: President McKinley, you are the first president of the United States in the 20th century and the first president to send troops to China.You have implemented American imperialism in the Chinese Empire with swords and swords.

McKinley: Send troops to China?That's right, with 7 other countries. God Li: Do you want to compare the other 7 countries?Austria sent 58 troops, Italy 52, Germany did not send troops, but you, the United States, sent 2,100 troops, and the first to break into the Forbidden City Palace in China was your American soldiers. That day was August 15, 1900. Rob, do everything, you are the president of the United States, aren't you the culprit?In history, it was called the "Eight-Power Allied Forces", don't forget. McKinley: I haven't forgotten that the Boxer Rebellion happened in China. The Chinese hated us and killed us foreigners in China.

God Lee: Have you ever wondered why the Chinese hate you?The Chinese didn't come to your country to kill you, but killed you in their own country, how strange? McKinley: Looks like maybe we shouldn't be going to China. God Lee: The question is what are you doing in China?You are rampant and domineering, and you hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, don't you?You Americans, since the invasion of China in 1900, until today, 110 years, have never thought about this issue. Over the past 110 years, you have followed the example of China and used the method of invading China to invade the whole world successively. This kind of aggression, blatantly and aggressively, started from you, McKinley.You were the first American imperialist to break through the gates of China, the gates of the imperial palace.

McKinley: As I said just now, the Chinese killed us before we rushed over to kill them.We kill others because others kill us. God Lee: You nonsense!You invaded Hawaii in 1897, did the Hawaiians kill you? Did the Cubans kill you during the "Spanish-American War" in 1898?You invaded Cuba, you invaded Puerto Rico, you invaded Guam, you invaded the Philippines, didn’t you?Who killed you before you ran to invade? McKinley: In the Philippines, we also paid 20 million to Spain, which sold it to us. God Lee: Sold to you?Is it okay not to sell?Moreover, the Philippines belongs to the Filipinos, so can you Westerners buy and sell it?You said at the time that the Filipinos were liberated, but when the Filipinos were about to become independent, you started killing and killing for two years in a row.Think about it, you said that before you acquired the Philippines, you couldn't sleep well for several days and nights. You knelt on your knees more than one night, praying to God for guidance.The final decision to act was based on the moral responsibility of the United States—to bring civilization and American ideals to the backward people.Think about it, after you get it, what do you do?You lied to the Philippines, occupied its land, and prevented it from being free.

McKinley: At least we, the United States, do not occupy your Chinese land. God Li: It's not your turn to occupy it, others will occupy it first, and it's your help. McKinley: (confused) Can we help? God Li: The Japanese wanted Taiwan, and China ceded Taiwan to Japan. Didn't you help Japan? McKinley: That's what President Cleveland did. God Li: After the "Eight-Power Allied Forces", it was always you who strangled China's "Gengzi indemnity"?China needs to pay 450 million taels of silver, equivalent to 330 million U.S. dollars at that time, plus 4% annual interest for 39 years, the total is as high as 980 million taels, which is more than twice the 450 million taels up.As the Chinese saying goes, "Eating people doesn't spit out the bones." When you eat China, you can taste the bones in your mouth. It's a bit like how you deal with your murderer Leon F. Czolgosz.

McKinley: He's an anarchist, he's in the electric chair. God Lee: What is curious is that he got off the electric chair, and the body was doused with sulfuric acid. You Americans really know how to kill without leaving bones. McKinley: God Li Zhen will do everything possible to ridicule us Americans. God Lee: I didn't make fun of the murderer.He refused to be represented by a lawyer at his trial because he did not recognize the authority of US courts to try him.This guy has a lot of guts. McKinley: Oh, that's what God Lee sure is American. God Lee: There were still people who were assassins in the United States back then, and there were such people. After 1963, there were no Americans who assassinated the president for their ideals, and Americans were as soft as chewing gum.

Reagan: (interrupting) I met the Assassins, and that was in 1981. God Lee: (staring at Reagan) Is that an assassin?He shot at the president in order to show bravery to the female star, so what is the ideal assassination?Don't be ashamed of yourself.Looks like a 25-year-old psycho who went to kill another movie star for the sake of another movie star. McKinley: By comparison, my murderer was a much more advanced one. God Li: Of course it is much more advanced.He's a 29-year-old hero. McKinley: After he fired two shots, he came to a conclusion. God Li: The conclusion is four words: I done my duty.

McKinley: God Lee knows I also said a word after the injury. God Lee: You said five words: Go easy with him, boys!You asked the left and right not to embarrass him. McKinley: I really don't know why he's trying to get on with him. God Lee: In the eyes of this anarchist, you are too hateful. You are the chief culprit when American imperialism first extended into the Pacific Ocean and into the Far East.How strange, you seem to have a kind of "aggressive obsessive-compulsive disorder", just like your wife forces herself to make slippers at home one pair after another, what is that called? "Obsessive compulsive disorder in making slippers"?And your assassin may suffer from "assassination compulsion".

McKinley: (wry smile) The inside story of Americans, God Lee, knows too much. God Lee: Knowing how much garbage is a basic homework for a scavenger. McKinley: God Lee, I was the first mover. The basic policy of the United States toward China later evolved into "open door" and "respect for China's territorial integrity."The United States abides by this principle. God Lee: Who can believe it?In the "Manchurian reservation case" in the aftermath of the big loan, you in the United States are "the old fox who shows his tail when he is drunk". Who can believe it?

McKinley: "Open doors" are good intentions, even if you take them literally. God Lee: What do you mean? The "open door" has been publicized for a long time, but it is only for development, and it does not prevent robbers or thieves.To put it bluntly, the "open door" is a country that wants to harm China. Don't close the door, you have to let me in the United States, and you have to share it with me.You got shot, so stop talking.Retire from the court (beat the mallet and stand up). (The curtain falls.)
