I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 53 The truth about Lincoln’s assassination!
"The end of the civil war will be the day of my death?"

In the office, watching Cleveland's revelation in the group, Lincoln stayed for a moment, his head buzzing.

He was only 55 years old, still young, and to be honest, he was even prepared to die for victory in the civil war.

But after being spoiled, I was still a little at a loss.

But after all, he had suffered a lot, and he only stayed for a moment. He looked at Cleveland's words carefully again and felt that his death seemed abnormal.

What does it mean from a personal perspective not to end the civil war so quickly?
[Mercy Lincoln: Cleveland, could you please make it clearer, what do you mean by not ending the Civil War so quickly? If the victory of this civil war requires my life, I will give my life without hesitation. If my death can save the American people from dying, I would rather give my life. 】

Lincoln took a deep breath and asked directly.

He mustered up the courage to face even the worst outcome.

At this time, Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and even Louis XVI were all attracted in the group.

Will the dignified Mei Shizu die at the end of the civil war? Become the first American emperor to die in battle?

Zhu Houzhao was a little more curious. This ending was worthy of this temple title.

An emperor who died in battle should be respected no matter what, just like Taizong!
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Lincoln unconsciously. This man also had the consciousness of dying in battle.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Mr. President Lincoln, you think too noblely. You don’t need to die on the battlefield! You were assassinated, and the time of death was unexpected. On the fifth day after the Confederate rebel leader, General Robert Edward Lee, formally led his troops to surrender to our 18th president, Ulysses Simpson Grant, who was the commander-in-chief of the Union at the time, You became the first president of our United States to be assassinated while in office! The previous president who was stabbed in the back was President Jackson, but President Jackson escaped. 】

[The murderer who assassinated you was a professional actor named John Wicks Booth. He was considered an ordinary person. Afterwards, investigation revealed that he was instigated by the Confederacy. 】

[But President Lincoln, you are in our northern range! 】

[Thus, in a sense, you will not die until the civil war ends. 】

Cleveland told the general story of Lincoln's assassination, and also mentioned the assassination of Jackson.

[American Taizu Washington: What? Will our President of the United States be assassinated? 】

Washington was surprised.

[American Taizong Jefferson: Not one, or two? Jackson, Lincoln, are you going to be assassinated later? Why? 】

Jefferson wondered, how could the president become a high-risk profession?
The two people in the group were about to be assassinated before they got acquainted with each other.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Tsk, what a coincidence, this must be your retribution. Who told you to kill other people like this? 】

Louis XVI was completely in a state of feeling that he deserved it. Of course, the assassination of the king was not new to them.

what?
He didn't die in battle, but was assassinated?
Zhu Houzhao was so surprised!

But soon, I became acutely aware——

Is it true that killing a donkey is a waste of time?
Zhu Houzhao did not express his opinion rashly. He wanted to see what the situation was first.

After all, the assassination of emperors is not new in history. The famous Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin and Zhang Liang assassinated the First Emperor of Qin!

[American Xuanzong Jackson: I was indeed assassinated. When I was attending a funeral on Capitol Hill last year, I was shot by a painter, but I was not hit. After investigation, they said this person was mentally ill, haha, didn’t I know? This is probably because the guys at the Second National Bank are afraid that I will abolish the Second Bank and give me a warning. I just harmed the interests of some people. 】

Jackson was naturally aware of his assassination and did not shy away from speaking out his speculation.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: However, Lincoln’s assassination was indeed a bit bizarre. The war has been won. You are supposedly a great hero of the United States. Who will you offend? The enemies have all surrendered. Is it really because the stubborn enemies are unwilling to give in? Moreover, the assassination was only five days after the total victory. The assassination was not over before the war was over. The war is over, what is the use of assassinating you? 】

Then, Jackson speculated based on common sense that Lincoln, the greatest victor of the war, would be assassinated, and found that it was untenable. [Mercy Lincoln: This...I was assassinated after I won? This...why is this? 】

This matter also made Lincoln somewhat unacceptable. He could accept dying for peace and ending the civil war, but after the war was won, the victor was assassinated. What did it count?
His death like this is simply worthless.

After the work is done, take off the grindstone and kill the donkey!
Can't wait!

Zhu Houzhao was suddenly convinced!

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Lincoln and the others are equivalent to the prime ministers of the empire in a sense, and cannot be treated as the emperor stabbing him in the back.

If you think of Lincoln as a prime minister or a general, it is easy to understand.

For example, Shang Yang, who initiated the Qin Dynasty's political reform, was punished and killed after the success of the reform.

Also during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Chao Cuo made plans to reduce the vassal status. After Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty completed the reduction of the vassal status, he directly killed him!
However, he did not interrupt. He did not know the situation in the United States and wanted to learn more about it first.

If it is really what I imagined, then there is nothing new under the sun.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: The specific reason... this is a mystery! Thirty years have not come to the truth. Anyway, many people were angry at the time and wanted to dig out the truth. Some people even suspect that it was your Vice President Andrew Johnson who instigated it in order to gain power. There are different opinions. 】

Cleveland also did not say a motive or reason.

This surprised everyone in the group even more. This was simply too confusing to understand.

[American Taizu Washington: How is it possible that the truth has not been found out for thirty years? Does anyone want to prevent this truth from being exposed? 】

Washington immediately had to resort to conspiracy theories.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Yes, if one of our presidents is equivalent to the death of a country’s king without knowing why, wouldn’t the reasons behind this make people even more frightened? 】

Jackson also had to conspire.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Who says otherwise... However, this cause of death is a secret to the outside world, but it is not a secret within our party. I personally speculated... The following is purely my personal opinion, President Lincoln must die! Because you have a reason to die! It’s the majority of people in the United States who want you dead! 】

Cleveland told another shocking secret.

[American Taizu Washington: What? A reason to die! And most Americans want Lincoln dead! ? 】

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Isn’t this right? He has won the war, he is a hero, and yet someone wants him to die? Did your own people let him die? Are you Americans okay with your brains? 】

Both Washington and Louis XVI were shocked.

Haha, sure enough!
After Lincoln, Chao Cuo was left behind, and Shang Yang was left behind after Lincoln!
What other reason to have to die!

There is nothing new under the sun. Some people in the United States are also playing with people's hearts.

Washington, Jackson and others, aren’t they veteran politicians? Have you never seen this?

Seeing that the situation was similar to what he had guessed, Zhu Houzhao felt that Washington and Louis XVI were too exaggerated.

[Mercy Lincoln: This...this reason, I...]

Lincoln's hands and feet felt cold for a moment, as if a bolt of lightning had struck him.
