I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 30 Louis XVI was wronged: What does your civil war have to do with me?
[Mercy Lincoln: Huh? Group leader, is there anyone who abolished slavery and led to the subjugation of the country? Didn’t you say before that we would win this war? 】

Zhu Houzhao interrupted, which made Lincoln panic a little.

Because there is no precedent in European history for the abolition of slavery to lead to the subjugation of a country. Later, Alexander II abolished the serfs of Tsarist Russia and was killed instead, so there was such a precedent.

Alexander II, but also after Lincoln.

Therefore, without knowing the subsequent history of this period, Lincoln was a little afraid that Zhu Houzhao would use this to remind him of something.

[Supreme Group Leader: I just said it casually. What I mean is that in the position of emperor, some seemingly inconspicuous actions will lead to unexpected consequences. 】

Zhu Houzhao laughed and passed away. At the same time, he also realized that the emperors of the United States...

It seems that they don't know Wang Mang, so it can be speculated that they may not know much about the history of the Central Plains. After all, he has talked about Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han before, and these people didn't react at all. From this, it seems that this is his advantage.

[Mercy Lincoln: That’s true. In fact, I am not a staunch abolitionist. It’s just that some people in my party have abolitionist tendencies. Those farmers and even voters in the South think that I also have abolitionist tendencies. My heart has always been toward the country, and I have publicly stated that if I could save the Union without freeing a single slave, I would be willing to do so; and if it was necessary to free all the slaves to save the Union, I would be willing to do so. 】

[Mercy Lincoln: But people in the South don’t believe me. As soon as I came to power, they announced their separation from the Federation and established the Confederacy. For me, I could only shoulder the mission of reunifying the Federation. I had no other choice. 】

What Lincoln is well known for, and what makes countless people at the bottom of the United States feel great, is his famous Emancipation Proclamation.

But in reality, Lincoln was a staunch nationalist.

His liberation of the slaves was just his personal slogan and was not passed by Congress and so on.

But under the circumstances at that time, the Northern Allied Forces were in a weak position, and Lincoln's slogan was based on turning the tide of the war and shaking the morale of the Southern troops.

[Louis XVI, Meilizu: By the way, why should we abolish slavery? The existence of this system is reasonable, so why does it trigger a war? 】

Because the abolition of slavery and slavery caused civil war, Louis XVI also found it difficult to understand.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: After all, the reason why this problem exists in our United States is partly due to you, Louis XVI. 】

Jackson interjected.

[Mercy Lincoln: Yes! If we are still looking for the reason for our civil war, the fourth factor is international factors! You can also connect a little bit with Louis XVI. 】

Lincoln also suddenly thought of the fourth reason for the Civil War.

Louis XVI was immediately stunned.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: My reason? Lincoln, your civil war is your own business, what does it have to do with me? In your place, haven’t I been dead for a long time? Are you the devil for blaming the cause of your civil war on me, a dead man? Satan is not as scary as you, right? 】

Louis XVI truly felt the disaster.

[American Taizu Washington: Could this be caused by Louis XVI? 】

Washington was also curious.

[Mercy Lincoln: Calculating it is really... Your Majesty Louis XVI, you have far underestimated the impact of your guillotine. Your French Revolution had a profound impact on the world. The people at the bottom...especially those who were oppressed, now have a reason. 】

The influence of the French Revolution was absolutely unprecedented.

Louis XVI's death by guillotine can be seen as the cutting point between ancient and modern civilizations.

It was because of Louis XVI's self-sacrifice that countless people in countless countries... felt that they could stand up and resist and kill the emperor despite being oppressed.

When looking to blame, it is natural to blame Louis XVI for why he had to die on his own guillotine.

This influence is no less than the slogan shouted by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang back then, no less than Sima Zhao killing Cao Mao in the street and completely trampling on the emperor's authority.

Therefore, the issue of abolition of slavery in the United States was also deeply affected by international influences...especially the influence of the French Revolution.

Even some forces in France and Britain took it upon themselves to guide and fan the flames.

The principle of conduct is simple. Rather than quelling domestic conflicts, it is better to arouse conflicts in other countries.

The United States has also become a good doctor with this trick after a long illness. They have been caught in the rain and have to tear other people's umbrellas. Later, they used this trick and they were even better than their old masters.

[Louis XVI: Our French Revolution? This... I was beheaded by the guillotine! I'm going to crush the guillotine! 】

Louis XVI once again felt the machete of fate hanging around his neck. It was cold and he could no longer sit still.

[American Taizu Washington: This reason... I don’t understand, but I am greatly shocked. 】

Washington felt terrible and did not expect that the execution of Louis XVI would have such a big impact.

[Mercy Lincoln: Haha, Your Majesty Louis XVI, you don’t have to worry about it... Just kidding, just to liven up the atmosphere. The above are considered external causes of the civil war. In fact, it is our own problems that have not been solved after all. 】【Meliezu Louis XVI: Are you kidding, are you polite? 】

Louis XVI was so angry that he almost had a black question mark on his face.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: So...we can't avoid these things, can we only wait for the civil war to happen? Lincoln... No, group leader, can Lincoln really win this war? If we lose such a war, the United States will truly move towards an endless civil war. 】

Jackson was pragmatic. After realizing that he could not avoid the above reasons, he once again wanted to confirm whether the Union represented by Lincoln had won.

They cannot afford to lose this war that can only be won but not lost.

He thought again of Zhu Houzhao's previous spoilers.

[Mercy Lincoln: Yes! Group leader, you said I would win this war. So, what’s the ultimate way to win? 】

Lincoln also paid attention to the outcome of the war again. The Northern Army, which represented central power, could not lose!

[American Taizu Washington: Yes, such a war can only be won! Otherwise, the country we created will really be finished. 】

Washington also realized the importance of this war.

The three of them reconfirmed together, which made Zhu Houzhao feel pressure and regret. He regretted that he should not make rash judgments based on the name of the Lincoln Temple.

But he had already told it before, and now he could only bite the bullet and continue speaking.

[Supreme group leader: Win! Why can't you win? Don't you believe me yet? 】

The temple name of Shizu, if you don’t win, how can you be Shizu?

Why do you want to ensure that they win out of nowhere?

Whether you win or lose the civil war is none of my business!

But who wants to brag?

Zhu Houzhao secretly made up his mind to pay attention to this arrogance problem next time and try not to commit it again.

[American Taizu Washington: Just win! 】

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Win! Doesn't that mean that... after this war, the federal power will expand again, and the southern states will never recover, or even be liquidated? 】

Jackson thought more. They were all from the same country, and he was from the South. From the bottom of his heart, he naturally did not want the South to be completely suppressed by the Federation because of the defeat in this battle. They were all compatriots.

From an ideal perspective, it can be inferred that after the North wins, the South will inevitably be liquidated.

He didn't want either outcome.

[Mercy Lincoln: Mr. Jackson, you are thinking too much. 】

Lincoln also thought of this. To put it bluntly, the Civil War is about one's own people fighting their own people. In a real sense, there are no winners.

[American Taizu Washington: Jackson’s concerns are probably not unreasonable. If the North really wins, the unlimited expansion of federal power...may lead our country to a monarchy with too concentrated power? 】

Washington also conducted some deductions and found that winning might not be a good thing and would go against the original intention of the founding of the country.

[Supreme Group Leader: Are you still worried after winning? Wouldn’t it be nice to win...]

Zhu Houzhao couldn't understand why this group of people suddenly became so stubborn. Do they have to lose?
[Meliezu Louis XVI: You guys really think too much. You won’t know the result until someone new comes in next time, right? Group leader...should this unpleasant chat end? 】

Louis XVI did not feel the same way, but couldn't help but remind him of the time of this chat.

[Supreme Group Leader: Yes! The time is almost over, Lincoln, have you finished speaking... If so, I have one more topic in the last five minutes, so I can end this chat. 】

Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses and roughly summarized that this chat was generally okay and he almost got what he wanted.

[Mercy Lincoln: Although I still have my own experience to say, that’s about it. I don’t have much to say, and it can’t compare to President Jackson’s tortuous experience. 】

Lincoln found there was nothing left to say.

[Supreme Group Leader: Well, the last topic in the last five minutes is: let’s talk about the emperor you think is the greatest, a monarch who is more than a hundred or hundreds of years away from you. 】

Zhu Houzhao immediately raised the third issue.
