I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 154 The French Black Legion Arrives in America
Logan put down the phone and slowly came to his senses. The only group that fit Hoover's description of a "non-white armed threat" was probably Hughie's group in the South.

So what did Hughie and his crew do to get the FBI to take notice of them?

But whatever the reason, he needed to give this "son of darkness" a warning.

“Richard,” he pressed the intercom button, “is there any space on the newspaper’s private jet? Arrange it for me, I need to go south. Hmm, I’ve received word that a storm seems to be brewing in the south!”

Two days later, Han Solo met Hughie again, who had become even more composed.

The latter also happened to want to ask for his help.

Hughie first talked about the situation in Wakanda—the Black awakening organization named after the "Holy City"—and its recent state.

On one hand, under his leadership, Wakanda has consistently used small, elite teams to precisely target and crack down on illegal brewing dens scattered throughout the south.

On the other hand, they used the privately transported liquor from the Venerable One to quickly fill the market gap.

Thanks to their consistent quality and relatively low prices, the white-owned underground bars began to exclusively use their bootleggings.

The flow of funds is much more abundant than before, which has enabled Wakanda to help its compatriots struggling below the poverty line and rapidly expand its influence among the Black working class!
However, the situation on the other front is much more dire.

"Our struggle against the KKK is getting increasingly fierce!"

Mentioning the KKK, a sharp, murderous glint flashed in Hughie's eyes.
"Those damn bastards! They won't even let us help ordinary Black people live ordinary lives!"

Wakanda tried to establish its own black schools, but was threatened and intimidated by the KKK; Wakanda tried to establish its own black "temples," but were burned down by the KKK.

Under Hughie and his group of Black comrades who had experienced the horrors of the European War, Wakanda established a sizable armed force.

They used the KKK thugs as a whetstone to constantly hone their fighting skills and willpower!

Both sides are now caught in a vicious cycle of “you attack me, I retaliate against you, you retaliate back, and I retaliate in blood again”, until one side is completely terrified or has bled to death!

Hughie was unaware that the KKK was already crying out for federal government intervention; he only knew that Wakanda's apparent strength did not come without a price.

No matter how cautious you are, casualties are inevitable in battle.

While Wakanda dealt a heavy blow to the KKK, it also lost many of its own best fighters—including some of Hughie's old comrades.

What troubled Hughes even more than the casualties was the issue of manpower and replacements.

To be honest, it's not that he's criticizing his own compatriots, but rather that most Black people who grew up in America seem to have a kind of ideological imprint on white people.

When you call on people to fight for better job opportunities, fairer treatment, or to resist blatant bullying, many are willing to respond, and some are even very enthusiastic.

But when you ask them to take up arms and engage in violent, life-or-death confrontations, especially against the notorious KKK... sorry, many will choose to back down.

Fear is ingrained in the bones; the enslavement and oppression of more than a dozen generations cannot be easily erased by a few slogans.

In contrast, the new generation of Black people are better off, after all, they are young and energetic, and their sense of resistance is much stronger.

However, young people lack experience, are prone to impulsiveness, and are most likely to be sacrificed in brutal confrontations.

Hughie cannot throw the hopes and future of his people directly into the front lines and waste them.

He preferred that they start by training in relatively safe areas like bootlegging, intelligence gathering, and community organization, gradually developing their skills. This resulted in a shortage of experienced and determined Black soldiers who could be readily deployed to the front lines.

Similar to the KKK, he also thought of "calling in reinforcements"!
Don't get me wrong, "Han Solo" isn't the main character he summoned; the real main character is—

"My French Black friends whom I met on the European battlefield!"

When Hughie participated in the European war, his unit was under the command of the French army, which also had a large number of black soldiers recruited from African colonies.

Black soldiers from the US and France fought side by side, shared hard bread in muddy trenches, charged German positions together, and were even... ignored by their respective countries, intentionally or unintentionally, after the war.

Perhaps the Black soldiers in France are better off?
They and their families were settled in Alsace and Lorraine, which had been reclaimed from Germany, and were even encouraged to intermarry with local German residents.

But is it really that good?

Haha, Weimar Germany has been slandering "militarized blacks as harming whites" every day. Britain and the United States have also put pressure on France, forcing France to terminate its immigration resettlement program in Alsace and Lorraine and resettle blacks who have already lived there but have not intermarried with Germans to other places.

But what other good places are there? In the minds of white people with implicit prejudices, even if there are good places, they won't be given to black people.

Just then, two pieces of news spread like wildfire through European veterans' circles:

One reason is that some European veterans made a fortune as mercenaries in the United States;

Secondly, recent reports in European media have exaggerated the notion that "Americans are foolish and rich," portraying America as an "adventurer's paradise" with lax laws and abundant opportunities.

This is undoubtedly a huge attraction for Black French veterans who are already facing marginalization.

When Hughie recruited them through clandestine channels, they readily agreed, eager to cross the ocean and realize their "American dream of getting rich"!
They had the courage to resist the whites, after all, they had fought against the German whites on the battlefield; their numbers were also quite large, the only problem was that they didn't have enough weapons.

“I plan to recruit a regiment of Black French comrades first,” Hughie said. “So, Your Excellency, I implore you to help resolve the weapons issue?”

The French Black Legion has arrived in America?!
Han Solo was momentarily stunned upon hearing this plan.

French colonial soldiers came to help their fellow Black Americans in their... "liberation" struggle?
Can France's "deep love" for America also be demonstrated in this aspect?
At the same time, he suddenly realized why the Bureau of Investigation was paying attention to Southern Black organizations.

He immediately warned Hughie, "You need to be on high alert! The FBI is watching you! They have a better sense of smell than you think!"

"What?" Hughie exclaimed in surprise. "I just contacted my French friends, they haven't even left yet, and we haven't even found the weapons... How could that investigation bureau, which only knows how to scam and extort money, have found out so quickly?"

But what the Venerable One said is never wrong.

Therefore, Hughie felt even more urgent. "In that case, we need to hurry and arm our French brothers as soon as possible! Hopefully, the Dark Force can lend us another hand and help us get through this crisis!"

Hmm? Is that so?

Upon hearing this, Han Solo realized that he might have misunderstood.

The Bureau of Investigation is not yet capable of extending its reach to France.

So, the Bureau of Investigation probably hasn't discovered that the French Black Legion is about to arrive in America?
But then they just happen to be preparing to use the "threat of illegal immigrants" to attack Black armed forces?
Is this considered a two-way journey?
"Han Solo" certainly wants to make this two-way journey even warmer!
"The dark forces will protect you as always, my child!"
