Chapter 54 Black! too dark! Four Reasons Why Lincoln Must Die

Lincoln suddenly guessed why Cleveland said this.

But when the truth came out, he felt that the world was dark and cruel.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: It seems that President Lincoln, you may have guessed something. Please calm down first. Let me talk about these reasons first, and you can see if they are correct. 】

Seeing Lincoln's reaction in the group, Cleveland probably knew that Lincoln's mentality was somewhat unbalanced.

Therefore, he directly answered everyone's questions without waiting for Lincoln's reaction.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Why do I say that? The following is just my opinion. First, this civil war is a civil war among our own people. President Lincoln also said at the dedication ceremony of the Gettysburg Memorial Cemetery... Those who fought on this land, living and dead, all We are citizens of the United States. 】

[In this civil war, from the beginning to the end, out of the 350 million people who participated in the war, 75 soldiers were killed, 40 soldiers were disabled, and an incalculable number of civilians were killed. We later estimated that there were about million people. died or were disabled as a result of this war. 】

[The civil war has been won, and we are one country again. 】

[Who will be responsible for the dead? Living people, how can they resolve the hatred and resentment they have gathered? 】

As soon as this reason came out, everyone in the crowd was undoubtedly punched in the heart, especially those from the United States.

Yes, strictly speaking, these were chosen by their own people.

Are you sure it's to appease public dissatisfaction?

What a set of high-sounding reasons!

Zhu Houzhao didn't find it strange. If someone wanted to die, he would stand on the moral high ground in advance.

These people in the United States are not new to their game.

However, eight million people died in the civil war. Such a high casualty ratio made Zhu Houzhao curious.

Eight million people, how many large-scale battles would it take?
The American Civil War is more tragic than I imagined.

[American Taizu Washington: This civil war is more tragic than we imagined. So many people...so much hatred...】

Washington couldn't help but sigh.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: The second reason is...the privileged class in the South! They still have the strength to fight. Although we have won militarily, we have not yet won politically. Although this war caused considerable damage to their property, they had many seats and political parties behind them. If the Republican Party wants them to truly admit defeat or be convinced and continue to lead the United States, a complete America... they must also show enough sincerity. 】

Cleveland went on to give a second reason, and as soon as this reason came out...

So reasonable!

It’s too dark!

Because the first reason above is high-sounding, this reason is the truth!

[American Taizu Washington: This is too dark! It's so dirty! 】

[American Xuanzong Jackson: So, enough sincerity, is Lincoln’s life? This is dirty politics, right? 】

Isn’t this exactly the same as Shang Yang’s death!

Did Shang Yang’s reforms harm the people?
No, it is hurting the interests of the Qin nobles, so...

The new king came to power, and in order to give an explanation to these nobles, he must kill Shang Yang!

Cleveland pretended to be a ghost for a long time, and Lincoln's death was just a replica of Shang Yang's fate.

[Supreme Group Leader: Haha, what’s so dark about this? This is very common in Eastern history! For example, Shang Yang, a certain reformer, also ended up like this. His death must have been worse than that of Lincoln. Lincoln was overly conceited, but Shang Yang was cut into pieces by five horses! 】

[The history of your United States is too short. The leader of this group allowed the Emperor of the East to come in to increase your knowledge! 】

[As long as he is here, there will be nothing wrong with Cleveland. 】

[The next reason is simply that Lincoln stole the limelight from others, and there is no price to pay for killing Lincoln, right? 】

Seeing Washington and Jackson being stunned, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but interrupt Cleveland's pretense of mystery.

These things are really common here.

Not to mention him, even when Yu Wenyun came, he could easily find three or five examples of killing people.

Killing a donkey is an old traditional art in the East.

The history of the United States is too short, and they are indeed inferior to them in terms of technology, but when it comes to playing with people's hearts, the East is really far ahead of them.

[American Taizu Washington: Huh? This...group leader, is this the reason why you pulled the Emperor of the East? Is this next, Cleveland? 】

Washington was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao predicted it directly.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Uh--it seems to be similar to what the group leader said. ] Cleveland paused before continuing: [The third reason is... within the Republican Party, will they allow a president whose authority is enough to threaten them to exist? As the group leader said, President Lincoln had too much limelight, not to mention... President Lincoln did not show enough opinions in liquidating the southern states after the war. He was neither a radical liquidator nor a conservative liquidator. Want to be a middleman? 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: There is one last reason, which is almost what the group leader said, there is no cost to killing him. President Lincoln... his background was too humble, and he did not have enough power or big names to protect him. Killing him would not stir up any waves. Probably just have to endure the abuse from some ignorant people...]

It was all spoiled by Zhu Houzhao, and Cleveland also said the final reason in one breath.

Sure enough, there is nothing new under the sun.

I saw Cleveland pretending to be a ghost for a long time, talking about these old dramas.

Zhu Houzhao felt that he had a deeper understanding of the United States.

It just found a key called "technology" that allowed it to become powerful without relying on invasion modes such as engulfing the sovereign state. The rest is no different.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes and struggles.

The United States has not escaped from this struggle circle.

As for the current Ming Dynasty, he only needs to master the key of technology, and he will definitely become more powerful...

This made Zhu Houzhao's eyes turn cold. Before, he was worried that fighting too hard with the civil servants would bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty.

But now, he has found this technological key. As long as a common person can farm two hundred acres of land a day, as long as he can increase Ming's steel output.

How many troops do those guys who only engage in internal fighting and corrupt Confucian culture have?

Zhu Houzhao's thoughts were flying, but... Lincoln in the group was a little... broken when faced with this revelation of the truth.

[Mercy Lincoln: Stop talking! Cleveland! do not talk! I beg you, stop talking! 】

Lincoln was finally torn off all pretense and was completely struck down by the cold and dark reality.

His so-called ideals and dreams were completely shattered under the iron fist of this cruel reality.

This truth was like a sharp knife, cutting him into Ling Chi, and all the will to safeguard national interests was blatantly shattered at this moment.

[American Xuanzong Cleveland: Sorry... President Lincoln, this is just my personal speculation. The world is not necessarily so bad. What's bad, maybe the actor himself is too evil, or maybe it's really just his personal behavior. 】

[ Mercer Lincoln: Stop it, don’t say it. I beg you. 】

After Lincoln said this, Zhu Houzhao was brought back to reality by the prompt.

[Supreme group leader: Lincoln is offline. 】

He directly discovered that Lincoln's portrait was pressed down.

This Lincoln's mental capacity is so poor?
No, that's not right either.

Anyone who discovers that he is a pawn may not accept it so easily.

He understood Lincoln again.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Those people are so dirty! This does seem like their method! The cost of this civil war is too great. They are using people and throwing them away like garbage! 】

[American Taizu Washington: I can't think about it...it seems almost, just a little bit, that he became Lincoln. 】

Washington felt even more frightened. He had no doubt that he would be assassinated if he wasn't smarter.

[Medicine Jefferson: Cleveland, you think of us too dirty. Could these methods be used by us Republicans? 】

Jefferson, who was born in the elite class, felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that Cleveland was criticizing others.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: So, I said that I am not suitable to be a king. Repairing locks and making locks is so simple. I really just want to be an ordinary locksmith...]

Louis XVI was scared, and he had seen this thing too much, so he was not smart and chose to immerse himself in repairing locks, hating that he was born in an imperial family.

[Supreme Group Leader: Okay, now that Lincoln is offline. He will ask for help later. Are there any group members who need help now? 】

No big deal, the political knowledge of this group of people is too shallow.

Of course, maybe they can’t be blamed.

It is true that they have not been cultivated by the emperor's mental skills.

The presidents of the United States are elected once every four years. Most of them come from wild backgrounds and have not received systematic political education. They may not be able to accept it for a while.

Zhu Houzhao continued to maintain the rhythm of chatting.
