Scene 236: People who cross the border sometimes pay the price of their lives. (Repair)
Although the war continues, the writers in the north never give up any opportunity to make up stories.
These stories are true and false, which makes readers in the north feel confused while those in the south feel confused.
Although it is still the early stage of the Civil War, for some reason, even the so-called chicken soup story in the late stage of the Civil War has appeared:
In the late period of the American Civil War, one night, General Aut was studying the combat plan under the light. At this time, subordinates came in and reported that they had just captured a southern soldier on the battlefield, suspected of being a spy who came to spy on the military information.
Under the dazzling light, the southern soldier was cold and hungry, with a tired face. He kept explaining that he was not a spy, but was just thinking about his homesickness and fled in the night. Unexpectedly, he accidentally entered the enemy camp. General Ultra looked cold and observed carefully for a long time. Suddenly, he ordered his subordinates loudly: "Get some food for this child, put on a blanket, and see what this war has made the child look like!" After the southern soldier ate and warmed up, General Ultra ordered him to be sent out of the front line and reminded him: "Go home quickly and never come back."
Seeing General Ultra's actions, his subordinates were a little confused and said, "General, can we be sure he is not a spy?" General Ultra said meaningfully: "Everything can be disguised, but Sijia Nian's expression cannot be pretended. Because at this moment, I feel the same as him."
On April 9, 1865, Grant, commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, and Robert Lee, commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, led the crowd to the town of Appomattox, Virginia, and signed an agreement on surrender in a two-story building called McLins. At this important historical moment, everyone asked the homeowner McLins for something as a souvenir. After a while, almost all the furniture in the living room was bought, and only the table that signed the surrender remained in place. General Ott also wanted to bring something back, but it was almost impossible to buy the table with a marble tabletop with his underestimated salary.
At this moment, the owner of the housekeeper, McLins, came over and said, "This table is of great significance, so I will give it to you as a souvenir." Ott was surprised and asked, "This is too expensive, why give it to me for free?" McLins said sincerely, "General, do you still remember the Southern Army soldier you let go back then? He is my son."
If such a separate article appears by chance, it is still a matter of time, but when another article about President Lincoln appears in the media, the atmosphere changes a little.
This story was not published in media under the American Press Group.
Even, at the beginning, no one saw it.
But when it began to spread in a booklet, it scared everyone, including Doug.
As for what kind of story this is?
This is a story about President Lincoln's assassination:
In Washington City, a mist-starting night, the comedy staged by Ford Theater gradually came to a climax. In the theater box, President Lincoln was enjoying it with his wife. His nerves were busy with government affairs could only be adjusted at this moment. At this time, a man with a mysterious whereabouts walked through the corridor on the second floor and suddenly entered the presidential box. The man took out his pistol and pointed it at Lincoln's head and pulled the trigger. With a "bang", Lincoln fell down. It was April 14, 1865.
The president was assassinated and the theater was in chaos. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the doctor came to rescue Lincoln, the murderer fled the theater. The guards drove out of the pursuit and the assassin was shot dead. It was later found that he was a fanatical slave-keeping advocate born in Maryland, southern United States. His assassination was a political assassination planned by the owner of the slave-keeping manor in the south.
Why do these manor owners hate Lincoln so much?
It turned out that after independence, the United States was originally divided into free states in the north and slave states in the south. The north mainly developed industry and advocated abolition of slavery, and the south mainly planted agricultural estates. The planting industry, especially the growing cotton, required a large amount of labor. In order to make more money, the owners stubbornly insisted on slavery and used a large amount of black slaves. Black slaves were black people who were sold largely from Africa by Western slave traders to the North American continent by Western slave traders. They were detained in the manors, not only had to do eighteen or nineteen hours of work every day, but were also beaten and killed by the manors, and even sold like livestock. They had no personal freedom throughout their lives, and even their children were born were slaves.
The cruel persecution of black slaves by the owners of the southern states not only aroused the resistance of black slaves, but also deeply dissatisfied the American people, especially the white workers, farmers, intellectuals and citizens in the northern states. These white people with a sense of justice set off an abolition movement and advocated the liberation of black slaves. In newspapers, books, and speeches, abolitionists criticized the cruelty and uncivilization of slavery. They also helped some black slaves escape to the Northern Free State, which advocated the liberation of black slaves. Lincoln was a politician who advocated the abolition of slaves.
In 1861, Lincoln was a Republican candidate who opposed slavery and succeeded in his campaign and became the president of the United States. The owner of the Southern Manor was deeply afraid that the eleven southern states actually united and declared their separation from the United States Federation and established their own "Southern Alliance" government, which also brought out a "president" who stubbornly insisted on slavery. In April 1861, the army organized by the "Southern Alliance" shelled the Sumter Fortress guarded by the Federal Army, provoking the Civil War that split the United States.
In order to maintain the unity of the United States federal government, Lincoln immediately issued a recruitment mobilization order, determined to suppress the "Southern Alliance" rebel forces that split the United States.
Although the Northern Army was widely supported by the people, it was hasty to form. The Southern Army had been planning for a long time and was well prepared. Since 1861, the two sides fought many times in one and a half years. The Northern Army has been defeated repeatedly, and even Washington has been in a hurry several times.
Lincoln was extremely anxious. He discovered the crux of the problem in time: the Northern Army lacked generals who were good at commanding. Moreover, he believed that mobilizing the vast number of black people and devoted themselves to the battle to liberate themselves was the key to winning the war.
So Lincoln presided over the passage of the Homestead Law and the Liberation Declaration. The Liberation Declaration, which was officially implemented on January 1, 1863, declared that black slaves in the southern states will always gain personal freedom from now on. Their personal rights will be guaranteed by the government and the army, and blacks with appropriate conditions can join the Northern Army after freedom.
As soon as the "Emancipation Declaration" was announced, 180,000 black men immediately took up their weapons and participated in the battle to liberate their compatriots. From then on, the Civil War was not only a war to maintain American unity, but also a far-reaching significance of liberating black slaves and safeguarding human rights. At the same time, Lincoln appointed General Grant as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army and promulgated the "Recruitment Law" to ensure the sufficient source of soldiers in the army. The Northern Army gradually gained the upper hand in the war.
On July 3, 1863, in the Battle of Gattsburg, the Northern Army won a decisive victory, with more than 36,000 casualties in the Southern Army. The next day, the victory also came from Vicksburg, and nearly 30,000 soldiers surrounded by the Southern Army surrendered. From then on, the Southern Army embarked on the downhill of passive beating.
The reactionary manors in the south were still struggling to death. They sent spies to plan political assassination and made every effort to save the crisis of the Southern Army's complete failure. This is how Lincoln's assassination happened.
Because of the injury, Lincoln's rescue failed and died the next morning. His assistant faced Lincoln's body with infinite grief. They clearly remembered that more than twenty hours ago, Lincoln was still busy with government affairs:
At 7 a.m., Lincoln appeared in the White House presidential office. He arranged an aide to remind Secretary of Secretary of State Seward to hold a cabinet meeting at 11 a.m.
After breakfast, the cabinet meeting was held. General Grant, who was specially invited by Lincoln, also attended. Because five days ago, on April 9, 1865, the main opponent of the Northern Army, Robert Lee, commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, led 28,000 soldiers to surrender in Apomatoc. The day of victory was in front of him. Lincoln repeatedly expressed not to retaliate and not to persecute the general soldiers of the Southern Army: "The blood has flowed too much... Even those stubborn splitters, let them escape abroad. Open the door, move the fence, and scare them to escape..." Lincoln said while making the move to herd sheep and slaughter.
After lunch, Lincoln signed another document. On a document proposing to forgive deserters, he instructed: "Well, I think this person is more suitable to stay in the world than to be underground..."
It was such a president who mobilized the people to take up weapons to maintain national unity and advocated the liberation of black slaves. When the war was about to win in full, he advocated tolerance for his political enemies. The vicious killer murdered him. Of course, sinful conspiracy could not stop the wheel of history. Forty days later, the last southern army surrendered, and the Civil War ended with the complete victory of the Northern Army, and the inhumane black slavery also declared extinction. The most important declaration in American history, the Declaration of Independence, claimed the right of "everyone is born equal before God" at that time, black people were excluded and had no right to enjoy it. However, through efforts, Lincoln finally returned this legal right to the black people in the United States in the form of law.
In the poem "Oh Captain, My Captain", the poet Whitman compared the United States to a "ship", which is President Lincoln who sacrificed his life to lead the United States to fight for unification and accelerate the democratic process.
Oh, Captain, my Captain.
The voyage of suffering has been completed.
After all the stormy waves,
The song that won today's victory...
He was already cold all over,
Stop breathing.
Such tragic poems have made the United States and even the people of the world unable to forget Lincoln's achievements.
"Where did this story come from?" Doug, with annoyed look on his face, smashed the booklet in his hand on Blair's table.
Blair, president of the American Press Group, is also a big shot, but when he saw Doug's angry expression, he also became nervous.
You know, this is the first time Doug has done this.
"Let's take a look." Blair picked up the booklet on the table and began to read it.
Although the atmosphere is subtle now, he does not read quickly.
Because, in any corner of an article, there may be very important information hidden.
However, the more he read this article, the more he felt that it was wrong.
What's wrong?
The wrong thing is that if this story is a news report, the time has not yet arrived, which can be said to be nonsense.
However, if this is just a simple story, there are nodes about major events, but the place name is clear and accurate to the day.
You know, according to Blair's previous experience.
When he saw such a manuscript, if he changed the date, he would change the character to a person who was not Lincoln.
Then he is very likely to believe that this is true.
You know, no matter how powerful a journalist or editor is, he will never know all the news in the world.
When you don’t know the news, if you want to judge some things, you need to have a judgment system.
Blair's system of judging the pros and cons of the article is very simple, just looking at the details.
If an article has no details, then it is most likely to be problematic.
If the details of an article are contradictory, it is possible that the article was compiled, or it is possible that the author's level is limited and he has written good things poorly.
However, although Blair was not very easy to judge who wrote this "report", he had to wonder why Doug was so irritable.
Which information made him so irritable?
Is it a victory in the north?
No!
Won't!
What the boss always wants to see most is victory in the north.
For this reason, the entire Clayden Group has paid a huge price, and of course, it also has good returns while paying.
So what is the boss angry?
Is it because President Lincoln was assassinated?
oh!
That's right!
The boss and President Lincoln are good friends!
etc!
Something is wrong!
What the boss is worried about is not the assassination of the president!
If this is the case, there is only one truth, and the cold sweat on Blair's head flowed down.
He repeatedly pressed ten thousand sets of "Monopoly" on his body. He raised his head and asked, "Boss, this article..."
"Check who sent it, check who sent it. At the same time, send someone to Washington, and make sure to confirm it and hand it over to President Lincoln."
"Are you worried that there are paragraphs about the assassination of the president?" Blair asked with some fear.
Doug nodded, but made no sound.
"I...I understand...I'll do it now..." Blair suddenly felt very stupid. He wanted to slap himself a few times. Why did he ask such a question?
Assassination...the president...
Even a psychopath gunman, how could it be so easy?
Could it be...
Is it a boss's plan lost?
Otherwise, why is the boss so nervous?
The more Blair thought about it, the more he became scared, and the more he thought about it, the less he dared to think about it.
His heart trembled a little.
Chapter completed!
