Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American Empire, still doesn't know what happened in London, because the mission has not come back and the news comes too late.

To be honest, Li Mengyang really wants to build a telegram cable connecting the Americas and Europe now, because without this thing, the news is really too blocked. But obviously, this thing can't be done now... Well, in fact, this thing was destroyed by him with his own hands.

But Sellersfield did a good job in the Empire. The telegrams have been built to Mexico, and the next step will be to Panama. In that case,...hehe, if the railway progress can be faster, the empire's control over these territories will be greatly strengthened!

It seems that Li Mengyang really has a little bit of an emperor now and knows that he wants to maintain his rule.

After all, he is the emperor, but Li Mengyang's job is really competent, because the current development speed of the American Empire is simply jaw-dropping.

There is no concept of GDP, but it doesn’t matter. In terms of empire, it depends on the operating rate, employment rate, railways, steel output, electricity consumption... looking at these things, which increase almost every day.

In addition, the new car is selling very well now.

Is this thing new? Then new things have room for improvement. It is said that the original one looks like a hand tractor, but later... ahem, the current situation is that there are hand tractors that are very similar to later generations!

Production needs, production needs. Because when this thing is put into actual production activities, everyone thinks that the tractor looks very good, practical, easy to use, and low-cost.

So the cars were diverted, partly becoming tractors, engaged in agriculture, and the other part was used as means of transportation.

As a means of transportation, it naturally needs to have a shell. Because it will rain, the appearance of the car is getting closer and closer to later generations.

The development is really fast. The fundamental reason is because it sells well!

In fact, Li Mengyang underestimated the charm of the car. At the beginning, he originally planned to rely on a large amount of subsidies to open up the market, but the real situation was that he did not take much effort.

On the one hand, production really requires it. Tractors are much better than Ma in reclaiming farmland!

On the other hand, the car is so fresh and novel. If you drive out like this, it will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention!

It’s like in later generations, Li Mengyang watched certain videos, such as driving a Ferrari and then chatting with beautiful women. In places like the United States, 100% of beautiful women will get in the car. They can even spread their thighs easily!

In other words... a car is a powerful tool to pick up girls?

Well, the pure empire emperor really didn't expect this at the beginning, and it really didn't. Of course, I'm afraid this is because there were fewer women in the empire... To be honest, this is really weird.

But the fact is that it happened. Everyone thinks that cars are very noble. Although the cars produced by Hongqi Auto Factory were really bad at the beginning, they basically need to be repaired after driving for more than ten hours. The people of the Empire praised them and said that Hongqi Hongqi is not in a hurry to repair cars... But despite this, there are still many people who buy cars!

Have face! Have inner strength! There is also the imperial emperor himself to advertise for blessing, OK!

Of course, the subsequent improvements are very fast. Nowadays, cars usually need to be repaired once every month after driving, and it is still improving, and more models have appeared.

As for the price, this... I can't help but increase it!

In any case, the great success of the automobile industry will lead to faster development of many industries, such as steel, rubber, etc.... Anyway, there are so many.

As for rubber, this matter seems a bit difficult to deal with, because there is almost no such thing in California and can only be imported from Southeast Asia. Fortunately, people there don’t know the value of this thing, and it’s still cheap.

Anyway, the emperor Li Mengyang is busy with these industries every day. It is really good and has a prosperous feeling, but something big happened on this day!

"Your Majesty! We have captured a big reactionary faction! Now we are bringing it!"

"What? The reactionary?"

When Li Mengyang was handling government affairs, a group of military police came in with a man. It was the meeting, and many imperial officials were there, such as Joshua Chamberlain, Deputy Minister of Education and Minister of Justice, and Lin Xiaoti, Secretary General of the Secretariat, and Mr. Thomson, Minister of Science...

What is this doing? The most important thing is this person... Li Mengyang was shocked when he saw it!

"Why is Mr. Mark Twain?"

That's right, it was not someone else who was taken to the gendarmerie, but the empire's Minister of Culture, and Mark Twain, who is now the interim minister of propaganda!

"You can't be wrong, are you? Mr. Mark Twain is the minister. How could he be a reactionary?" Joshua spoke first, because he is now the new Attorney General.

You should know that the laws of the empire are still being revised, which is a very complicated task. Li Mengyang did not rush to legislate at the beginning, but you always have to do this. So, let Chamberlain do it first and compile more laws, that is, a legal-related issue that arises in real social life, and then everyone discusses it, and finally votes at everyone... Anyway, the process is quite complicated.

Chamberlain is the Attorney General, so he naturally has to express his opinion first because there are any procedural problems in this? Did he wrongly accuse someone?

It turned out to be Mr. Mark Twain? Isn't this too nonsense?

"Your Majesty the Emperor, are you doing this too much?" However, some people were very direct. When Mr. Thomson saw this situation, he immediately looked directly at the emperor Li Mengyang, with an attitude of "You did this?"

"This. This is definitely not me!" Li Mengyang was also very surprised. His previous shock was definitely not fake!

"Mr. Thomson. How could you look at Your Majesty like this?!" Lin Xiaoti was angry at this time, because in his heart, the king is a monarch and a minister, and everyone should not mess with the rules, even if His Majesty the Emperor is relatively enlightened.

Thomson did not give in! He only heard him say, "My suspicion is very reasonable! Because I know some recent articles by Mr. Mark Twain..."

Has he written an article? Li Mengyang has been focusing on selling cars and various industries recently, and his other readings have been much less. But before Thomson finished speaking, the military police spoke.

"Mr. Thomson! Your suspicion is wrong!" The military police were all soldiers. They did not say anything polite or impolite, and the soldiers were all loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, they also had reasons. "The reason we arrested Mark Twain was mainly because of the public's reports!"

"Report from the masses?"

Regarding this question, Li Mengyang also wanted to ask, because this really made him return to his later generations. The aunts in the Xicheng District of the Beijing City helped the police solve many major cases, and that was all reported by the masses!

The gendarmerie over there explained, "Yes! It's the mass report. Some mass reports. Mark Twain, the empire's Minister of Culture and Interim Propaganda Minister. He actually wrote an article to insult His Majesty the empire's emperor! This is unacceptable to the people! So, after the report, we verified that the situation was basically true. So, we arrested Mark Twain, the reactionary faction!"

So that's the case. So what did Mark Twain write? This question was asked by Li Mengyang, but in the current occasion, some people are not concerned about this.

Mr. Thomson said angrily: "Just just because the masses reported you, they arrested Mr. Mark Twain? This is simply unacceptable! I ask you. How many people reported you and did this?!"

Obviously, Mr. Thomson felt that this was a bit of a fuss. Just report it, so what if it is reported by the masses? Could it be that it was just because of this? It was too inappropriate!

However, in the face of Thomson's anger, the military police were unmoved and heard him say seriously: "Mr. Thomson! The police department has received at least two thousand letters of complaint!"

Two thousand seals!?

"..." Thomson stopped talking because the number was really beyond his expectations. He really didn't expect Mark Twain to inflict public anger.

Then this matter... Li Mengyang still wanted to know what Mark Twain wrote, but it was still not his turn to ask.

Chamberlain asked: "So many reports should be investigated, okay, I have also investigated after you. But how can it be the gendarmerie handling the case? What are the police doing?"

Yes, in terms of this matter, it should be that the police should be dispatched. The military police are in charge of the military, right?

But, the military police's answer was also very reasonable, "Comrades of the police said that this matter is very important. As the minister, Mark Twain publicly insulted His Majesty the Emperor, he must be a reactionary leader! Therefore, Comrades of the police need us to assist in handling the case."

It's reasonable and well-founded, then this matter...

"Be careful this time, this procedure is very important!" Li Mengyang finally found the opportunity to speak, "It should be the police's business, it's theirs. Don't worry about such things."

"yes-your-majesty!" The military police saluted.

Li Mengyang ignored this, and he immediately asked, "What did Mr. Mark Twain scold me? As for so many people reporting it?"

Alas, this question has really lingered in Li Mengyang's mind for a long time. What is the answer?

"Hahaha..." He only heard Mark Twain smile, and then said, "I wrote an article saying that you, the emperor, will become a dictator!"

Because of this?

"..." Li Mengyang was a little surprised.

"..." And the others also have different expressions, because some people know, and some people don't.

Now...

What was even more unexpected was that Mark Twain said another sentence.

"Your Majesty! It's nothing to do with me, whether to kill me or imprison me. I really hope to talk to you alone now."

This is like Mark Twain's final request, as if he was on the execution ground... (To be continued)
