Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

Chapter 30 The President (Part 2)

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and most of the media, which have already predicted the results of the general election, have announced the same answer on the radio and in newspapers.

The Republican Party, an emerging political party with a huge advantage in itself, won the final victory in this presidential election in the United States of America.

Because political star Abraham Lincoln announced in the last month of the election that he would renounce the right to be elected and instead fully support Hannibal Hamlin's victory.

Thanks to the collective efforts of all forces in the Republican Party, advantages far beyond the imagination of the Southern Whig Party have converged on this fat middle-aged man who has been called "the lucky man blessed by God" by countless media.

November 14, 1857 AD, was destined to be an extraordinary day.

At noon on this day, the wind was calm and the sun was clear, with no clouds in the sky.

The east lawn of the American Congress Hall, which used to be extremely empty, was now crowded with people.

There are well-dressed gentlemen and women in costumes; there are energetic old men and there are children learning to talk.

On this day, countless people from all over America gathered here to participate in the public inauguration of their new president.

"I solemnly swear!"

Although the official oath of office had already been sworn once in the morning inside the Congress hall.

But at this moment, Hannibal Hamlin, who seemed to have truly reached the pinnacle of his life, still stood on the podium with great excitement, repeating his oath in front of the public just like the presidents who took office in the past.

This fat middle-aged man who had just joined the Republican Party and was promoted to the presidency of America probably never thought that he would have such an opportunity. His face turned red and his tone was excited.

His words were amplified by the microphones that were just born in this era, and reached the ears of everyone present through the speakers scattered all over the lawn.

"As the 15th president of America, I will faithfully perform my duties."

"To do our best to abide by, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States."

A group of Whig members from the southern states, led by Jefferson Davis, sat on the left side of Hannibal's podium and looked at him unwillingly.

Lincoln, who had also been formally inaugurated as Vice President in the Congress hall in the morning, took a group of important officials from the Republican Party and sat in the back right, smiling at the powerful industry with a population of 60 million that they jointly elected.

Leader of the kingdom.

However, what no one knows now is that today is the luckiest day in the life of "Lucky Man" Hannibal Hamlin, but it will also soon become the unluckiest day in his life.

I saw a man wearing a gray hood, and at some point passed through the heavy guards and arrived not far from the podium.

Before anyone could react, he quickly put his right hand into his arms, took out a short-barreled musket, and pointed it at Hannibal Hamlin's chest.

"May the Holy Lord bless you..."

"Bang!"

A piercing gunshot sounded just before Hannibal Hamlin read out the last word of his oath of office!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

After several seconds, the screams of ladies, the shouts of children, and the roars of gentlemen sounded on the lawn.

Vice President Lincoln was the first to react. He rushed forward as quickly as possible and tightly covered Hannibal Hamlin, who was lying on the ground with his right hand. He was about to become the president with the shortest time in office in history.

Bleeding chest.

But it was already too late, the bullet accurately hit the heart.

The unlucky President Hannibal could only look at the sun in the sky with nostalgia and difficulty for the last time, and then closed his eyes forever.

Only then did Lincoln raise his head in grief, glaring angrily at Jefferson Davis and other Southerners who had already put on their hats and were on their way out under the protection of a group of guards with ugly faces.

But didn't notice it at all.

Immediately behind him, Secretary of the Department of Taxation Westem Charlie, also a Republican, had a flash of sneer in his eyes when he saw President Hannibal lying in a pool of blood.

On the east lawn of the American Congress Hall, everything was in chaos.

Even some big business owners who participated in the public inauguration ceremony of the president and were completely unaware of the inside story changed their expressions and looked solemnly at the man next to the president's body.

According to the laws of the United States, if an accident occurs while the president is in office, the vice president will directly take over as the real president without election.

The current Vice President is Abraham Lincoln.

Once he came to power, the United States of America would struggle to maintain a balance between the north and the south.

It will be completely broken...

————————————————

November 15, 1857 AD, the western coastline of the New World.

In the Taiping Fortress not far from the border of Rockfield, America.

"I."

"Abraham Lincoln, hereby solemnly swear an oath!"

It was still the slightly empty conference hall located in the central building of the city.

The Taiping rulers headed by Hong Tiangui and ministerial-level officials from various major departments sat around the conference table, quietly listening to the sound coming from the radio on the table.

"As the 16th president of America, I will faithfully perform my duties and do my best to abide by, maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States."

"May the Holy Lord protect me and the United States!"

On the day after the assassination of the 15th president, after Lincoln's oath of office as vice president, taking office as president, was played, Hong Tiangui pressed the off button of the radio.

"Although we had predicted it, we still didn't expect it to happen so soon."

"The situation in America has reached this point!"

Hong Tiangui, wearing a simple gray tunic suit, sighed while scanning the comrades present.

Compared with those people a few years ago, the biggest difference is that most people have a strong spiritual power of peace.

Except for a few comrades who have not applied for the breakthrough of "bringing Taiping spiritual energy into the body" because their bodies have not yet passed the training, all other senior leaders of the Taiping Society can truly be regarded as "Qi training realm" monks in ancient times.

"Then everyone, follow the plan we discussed before."

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs, withdraw comrades operating between slave states and industrial states."

"Leave this stage of the New World to them for the time being. When they fight until they are exhausted, we will take the stage again!"

The situation in the United States of America has deteriorated to the point it is now, and it is not something that happened in a day or two. In fact, it has long been deduced by many senior leaders of the Taiping Association, and they naturally have corresponding plans.

After seeing the comrades in front of him indicating that they understood, Hong Tiangui looked at the middle-aged man sitting next to him, who was the oldest person in the conference room, and continued.

"Comrade Li Gu, please put the elite squad of the internal affairs troops on standby immediately!"

"One day later, we will go to the city of Colma together."

"Master Miaoshan has determined that there are real noble vampires and lord werewolves there. They must know the truth about the National Railway Alchemy Formation!"

"This time, I will take action myself!"
