Scene 238 Compromise, Coexistence, and the Incarnation of God's Will(1/2)
"Is this predicting my death?" Lincoln smiled and put down the tabloid in his hand.
The tabloid newspapers with poor quality are not only dark in color, but also lightly touch the plant fibers that are built into paper, just like a terrified turkey on the eve of Thanksgiving, shedding fur wildly.
Lincoln at this moment has become very different from Lincoln a few months ago.
Although Lincoln now has physical signs, it may have declined a little compared to a few months ago. After all, no matter who it is, the feeling of aging is inevitable.
However, his expression was much more confident than before.
This confidence comes from power.
Although, he was elected by one capitalist after another like Doug.
It seems very unfree.
However, war has always been the best centralized means.
When external contradictions are greater than internal contradictions, it is both a crisis and an opportunity.
Crisis is at this time. If it is too mediocre and too scrutiny, it is likely to directly lead to one's own defeat.
However, the opportunity is that if a person has strong abilities, there will always be more opportunities in times of war than in peace.
The basis of war is politics, and the basis of politics is economy.
The first thing Lincoln did when he came to power was not to recruit soldiers, but to cooperate with Doug to issue greenback dollars, which solved the problems of insufficient metal currency in the north and the chaos in the banking system.
With finance as the core, various materials are allocated.
Let the front-line troops use the best equipment they can make so that they can feel the care of the federal government for them even when they are having a meal.
Of course, at the same time, the side effect is that productivity is fully powered and requires a large number of workers.
The employment of a large number of workers and the shortage of workers in newly built factories have promoted the recovery and recovery of the northern economy.
The most important thing is that ordinary people never care what you say. You just tell them that there is the sea of stars in front of them. As long as you work hard, you can get a planet, which is completely useless.
Even if the planet they were assigned was a planet made of gold, what could it do?
What they need is to eat, live, and live happiness in this world.
Based on the demand generated by the war, while allowing factories to fully generate production, they also make a lot of money.
Although, they don't have time to spend.
However, having money means having confidence.
Having confidence means having hope.
And those with hope are two completely different creatures than those without hope.
Human subjective initiative is reflected to the greatest extent here.
Therefore, they sincerely and sincerely love the great President Lincoln.
Therefore, they believed whatever President Lincoln said.
Even if they go to the front line to die.
Therefore, although they had not contacted black people, after listening to President Lincoln's "Proclamation on the Liberation of Black Slaves", they also felt that black slaves should be liberated.
Because when they think, they ignore the complexion of their skin and put themselves into the perspective of black people.
I thought of them being oppressed by the ruthless manor, just like those hateful bosses who were trying to squeeze them out.
And now, President Lincoln has asked those hateful factory owners to pay their wages one by one.
Why don't they believe and support President Lincoln let those same abominable planters get the retribution they won?
Because of the universal belief in God, many people have even regarded Lincoln as the spokesperson of God.
On this land of sin, perform His judgment on behalf of God.
Judgment those evil people and mention them ordinary people to uphold justice.
Although the power of a single worker is insignificant compared to capitalists.
But almost all workers in the north admired Lincoln as president.
Things became subtle.
Of course, the story of the American Press Group also played a great role.
After all, what the American Press Group did was to portray Lincoln's myth.
Lincoln, who was supported, also had confidence in front of capitalists.
He began to do what he really wanted to do, instead of being willing to be a puppet for capitalists.
Even for Doug, this is an act of shooting himself in the foot.
But, if Doug had chosen, wouldn't he do this?
No, he will still do this.
Why does he still do this?
Because, this is a process of exchange of interests.
Only efforts can reward.
If you think before you give, you may suffer losses after this, then you won’t have to do anything.
Just like, a life is destined to die since birth.
Could it be that all humans do nothing?
Of course not!
Even Lincoln smiled, he also regarded the report in the tabloid as a provocation.
However, he was a little confused about Doug's attitude now.
Because, the media industry in the north has almost been monopolized by Doug.
In such a situation, is it Doug's instructed to appear such newspapers?
After all, the demands of both of them have changed at this time.
Lincoln wanted to try his best to reduce the power of capitalists so that ordinary people can have better living space and then help them fulfill their dreams.
Among them, the one who needs to be suppressed is not someone else, but Doug Clayden.
Why Doug Clayden?
Because, this person now controls the entire federal area and is almost all media publicity.
Because this person now controls the issuance of currency in the entire federal region.
And, his tentacles, his consortium, have reached various places.
To some extent, the Clayden Consortium is not a corporate alliance.
It's better to say it's a country in the middle of a country.
Lincoln knew clearly that the foundation of the regime was based on the economy.
Now the economic foundation of the north is in Doug's hands.
Can he not prevent such an ambitious, capable, and strong capital without precautions and try every means to limit its expansion?
However, although he has a strong desire to do this, it is not easy to achieve such an effect.
Doug obviously felt his intentions.
The two of them worked hard to cooperate at the beginning, and now they need each other and want to weaken each other's strength.
The two groups are now in a very delicate state.
Therefore, the report of this tabloid seems very sensitive.
Lincoln felt that this was a provocation to himself.
Warn him that if you continue to do this, beware of a psychopathic gunman who shoots you.
but……
Why did Doug deliver this newspaper to him?
To intimidate him?
No.
To scare him?
No.
Is that to help him?
Even more unlikely.
Therefore, even Ruizhi and Lincoln still couldn't figure out what Doug was going to do.
Doug was also looking for this report at this time, who wrote it.
