Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

Chapter 29 The President (Part 1)

Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Except for a small group of indifferent spectators, either Southern state legislators or those who supported slavery, fiery applause rang out again and again in the Congress hall following Abraham Lincoln's speech.

"I think God cherishes everyone."

"The basic rights that people should have from birth..."

"In America, they all have the right to vote..."

"I will spare no effort to lead everyone to pursue the pursuit of happiness under the sun..."

Abraham Lincoln stood on the podium in the Congress Hall and delivered his speech on the pursuit of human rights with great enthusiasm.

The Republican Party led by him won election after election.

One of the important ideas in his words, "emancipation of the slaves," originally spread only to the upper class in the nineteen northern states, but now it has become familiar to everyone in the lower class and can be understood by everyone regardless of class.

Political slogan.

"Although he said it in a subtle way, the guy still said the same thing."

Among the small group of indifferent onlookers, the representative of the southern slave states and leader of the Whig Party, Jefferson Davis, said in a low voice to the people next to him.

"I confronted him here four years ago."

"But I didn't expect that today, four years later, the situation would turn around like this!"

At that time, the situation of the slave faction in the South was not as bad as it is today in the halls of Congress, and it was impossible for Lincoln's speech to receive as much applause as it does now.

Sitting next to Jefferson Davis, Alexander Stephens, who also supported black slavery, looked around indifferently.

"Yes, Jefferson."

The number of supporters of the Republican Party continues to increase at an almost unreasonable speed. In just 4 years, the power of the new Republican Party has increased by more than a thousand times compared to the two or three big cats and kittens when it was first founded!

"What benefit did those black people do him?"

Alexander spoke quickly and his voice became louder and louder.

He himself had never thought before that an opponent who was not taken seriously, a new party that had just been established for four years, could actually force the century-old Whig Party, which was established in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, to this point.

"He actually wants to liberate the black slaves so much..."

"That's enough, this is Washington in the north, not the place for us to talk!"

Jefferson waved his hand, interrupting Alexander's increasingly excited remarks, and whispered to him.

"That guy Lincoln has reached his limit when he has come this far!"

"Black slavery is the fundamental interest of our 21 southern states, and we cannot compromise on it!"

"We know this very well, and the Yankees know this very well. It is impossible for Lincoln to finally reach the top!"

“The general election is next month, let’s prepare well!

······

This time, after the meeting in the Congressional Hall in Washington, Abraham Lincoln and his small circle were the first to come out.

"Hannibal, I am very pleased that you can completely break away from the Democratic-Republican Party and become a member of our Republican Party!"

Abraham Lincoln put his right hand affectionately on the shoulder of a fat middle-aged white man, and they walked together to a Republican gathering place in Washington. He said as he walked.

"In this election, although both of us are candidates for the presidential election."

The presidential election is only a short month away, and many previously hidden tactics can now be exposed.

"But at the last moment, I will give up the election and work with the party to use all my strength to help you win!"

Bodyguards stood around, and a group of other Republican political figures surrounded the two people, blocking their conversation.

Although he had heard about this before he fully joined the Republican Party, Hannibal Hamlin was still a little flattered when he actually heard the words confirmed by his leader Lincoln.

"The Honorable Abraham Lincoln."

"Your thoughts are the ideals that meet the expectations of this country and its people."

"You are the real presidential candidate in my mind!"

These words are not excuses, but Hannibal Hamlin's true thoughts in his heart.

Before today, he always thought that he had just joined the Republican Party and became a presidential candidate, which was a way for this party to buy horse bones with a lot of money. He was indeed very impressed by Lincoln's idea of ​​liberating the black slaves.

"Hannibal Hamlin, please don't hesitate!"

Before Lincoln could speak, beside them, Westam Charlie, who had just become the Minister of Taxation of the United States of America last month, spoke directly.

"Mr. Lincoln is so famous for liberating the slaves. He is now the symbol of slave liberation!"

"Those damn Southern slave owners said it more than once."

"If Lincoln comes to power, then they will use force to protect their interests. This is not a threat, this will be a real action!"

With a sneer, Westram Charlie paused here for a moment, while other Republican politicians around him nodded in agreement.

Although Lincoln's name is great, this kind of persona does have advantages and disadvantages. If he really comes to power, even if he promises that he will not forcibly free the slaves, those Southerners will not believe it at all!

At this time, Lincoln also intervened and continued to speak to Hannibal in a gentle but firm tone.

"Although liberating the black slaves has always been our philosophy, we can do it slowly!"

"In this election, you are our focus!"

———————————————————————

As the only industrial country in the New World, it is also the only large country in the world without a hereditary monarch.

Every time it comes to a presidential election.

Not only are the various political parties fighting for it, but it is also an opportunity for the country's media to expose scandals and turn everything upside down.

Especially two years ago, radio and radio, which had a great impact on the media industry, were invented by two white youths who were unknown in the past in Aceriu City, Rockfield State.

The emergence of various new broadcasting companies has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, which has made the media industry's influence on the public ten times and a hundred times more powerful than before!

Xinpingzhiyin Broadcasting and Newspaper Company has caught up with this trend of the times, and in two years of development, it has gradually become a large-scale media company with strong strength in Washington State.

"Look at the message Republican Congressman Royce sent us."

"Let's add more news about Mr. Hannibal Hamlin while covering Mr. Lincoln!"

In this era, being able to successfully become a large enterprise naturally has political power as its backing. From the words of the company chairman Li Wei who is speaking now, it can be seen that the power behind them is the emerging powerful Republican Party.

However, after hearing Levi's words, the company's general manager Merkel's response seemed to cast a layer of confusion on the true identity of the forces behind them.

"The Republican Party's actions are exactly the same as our last prediction."

"This Hannibal Hamlin is the real elector of the Republican Party in this presidential election!"

"But does the family still believe that Lincoln will eventually be elected?"

When they mentioned "home", the conversation between the two of them in the private office of the company's top management changed from St. George's language to the ancient Eastern Daqing language.

A trace of doubt flashed through Chairman Li Wei's eyes at this time, but out of trust in his "family", he still replied in the affirmative.

"Yes, you know the tricks at home."

"They might have some information that we don't even know about!"
