Marvel Reverses Wolverine

The grand and lively banquet quickly entered the next stage after President Lincoln's toast.

The ladies were still dancing, tasting desserts, comparing their jewelry, and talking about the few words about the war they had heard from their men in a serious manner.

O'Hara is very uncomfortable with such an environment. She is a simple country girl. Although she yearns for the bustle and bustle of the city, she also deeply understands what it feels like to be out of place.

Fortunately, Mary, the wife of the president, kept her with her, introduced O'Hara to others, and blocked many unkind questions, which attracted many ladies with profound backgrounds to be interested in O'Hara.

The men, the real holders of power, moved to the side hall in twos and threes with a tacit understanding. It was not a big hall, but it was very comfortable. There were elegant leather chairs scattered around, and the middle was slightly empty. A place. There are not many waiters, but they all look very capable and the service is particularly good.

President Lincoln patted the chair next to him, motioned for James to sit next to him, and chatted with him in a low voice while the crowd was still a little noisy and not yet gathered.

"I ordered the troops in each theater to inspect, and there was no news about Mr. Rogan. He did not appear on the battlefield. We have a trade office in Kenya, and I personally asked the secretary to issue instructions at the White House command level. They I will take care of your friends, don’t worry.”

James was silent for a moment, and said sincerely to Lincoln: "Thank you for your help, Abraham. I have to solve Victor's matter by myself. You have to be more careful on Adam's side. Get information from the vampires' mouths. Pure Silver is against him." There is almost no harm. I have fought against him, and he is completely different from ordinary vampires, not to mention the large number of inferior blood slaves on the battlefield."

Mr. President smiled broadly: "Haha, don't worry. By the way, how is your factory doing recently? Although you are rising quickly now, these old guys have been in the industrial field all their lives. They can They say that America's capital industry was created by them, and it will not be easy to compete with them in the future."

Lincoln pursed his lips and pointed at a group of tycoons with beards and rosy faces. James seemed a lot more relaxed and said casually: "The main energy and funds are focused on the research of some new power machines. In the past two years, France A scientist named Lenoir and a scientist named Rosa have made considerable progress and research on this. On this basis, I have recruited a lot of talents in Germany and the United Kingdom. Currently, my mechanical experimental factory is very busy. , just burning money.”

"This is a good direction for you! Modern industry relies on the continuous updating and progress of technology. There is——"

"Mr. President, everyone is here." The secretary had to interrupt the conversation between President Lincoln and James. This somewhat private small gathering was about to officially begin.

James nodded to Lincoln, and then looked around the entire room. There were about thirty people. Except for the top brass of the military, all the political and business dignitaries of the American Federation were here.

President Lincoln walked to the open space in the middle and gently supported a brown-black solid wood antique table with his fingers, initiating today's conversation.

"Gentlemen, there is no need to go into too much detail about the specific subsequent developments of this war. At this moment, I would like to hear everyone's opinions on matters related to black rights after the abolition of slavery."

"Abraham, you know very well why all of us here are fighting this war. What we in the north want is development and the strength of American industrial capital! The south? Haha! Those rich locals just want to sell their cotton. This tariff has been going back and forth for more than ten years. Can we do it without imposing it? As for the black slaves, hey!"

This fat, somewhat bald man took a puff of his cigar, shook the finger wearing a golden heraldic ring, and continued with a somewhat rough voice: "Everyone knows what's going on, so if you want to abolish slavery, we will all I support it, but you want to say that the gang of niggas who will be punished will eat in the same room with me in the future? Hehe, don’t even think about it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room was whispering to each other. From time to time, some people spoke out in support, while some people frowned and shook their heads.

James smoked his cigar silently, smelling the suffocating smell, and looked at the helpless Mr. President. He was even surprised that Lincoln would raise such a topic here, a very unpleasant topic.

The American Civil War seemed to be a just war about the progress of human social civilization, but in essence it was just a struggle between the fundamental interests of two capital groups.

After the independence of the United States, the South and the North began to develop along two different paths. In the North, the capitalist economy developed rapidly. From the 1920s onwards, the northern states began the Industrial Revolution, while the South practiced plantation black slavery. , which seriously stifled the development of northern industry and commerce.

The newly incorporated land in the west became the soil for the growth of conflicts between the interests of the north and the south. In addition, in order to compete with British capital industry, one side hoped to increase tariffs. The South, on the other hand, proposed low tariffs or even tariff-free free competition for the sale of cotton and various planting commodities, completely making each other the biggest enemy.

As for the original sin of black slavery in the South, it was just a nominal means for the North to flaunt its progress and the correctness of the war. These blacks fled to the "free" North and faced sweatshops that were as miserable as those on the plantations.

The topic quickly turned to the issue of profit distribution after the war, which was nothing more than making it easier for northern capital to enter the south, opening factories, selling goods, and the strength of external tariffs.

James also raised some of his own demands, regarding the issue of land sales in the South. After his new power machine is successfully developed, the resources deep in the large southern land will become the blood of the world.

As for the current rights and interests of black people, James has no idea. What he can do is to give them relatively better treatment in his factories or industries.

In such a context, modern attitudes toward racial equality are a big problem.

In today's world, to be honest, there are all kinds of people. In addition, there is a war. People with broken arms, legs, and weird shapes are not uncommon. But this was the first time the people of Jacksonville saw a "man" like the troll in the circus story.

With a height of over two and twenty meters and a body like a water tower, the surrounding townspeople consciously gave way to a large area of ​​​​the road for him. This man in a huge cloak covered his eyebrows, with only his long brown hair hanging down on both sides. His chin was broad and his beard was wild and thick. Walking towards the edge of town.

A few smart people hurriedly ran to inform the mayor and police chief that people often disappeared in the town these days, and those they occasionally found were corpses, and they were mummified.

Of course, people don't know who is responsible for these terrible disasters, but seeing such an outsider with a terrifying image, they naturally try to blame him for all kinds of bad things.

Victor didn't know where Adam was, but he had an instinctive and special sense of Adam's location. He walked in the general direction to the south. The closer he got, the stronger this feeling became. After arriving in this town, Victor could not only feel it, but even clearly smell the scent he left behind.

Adam, right here.

There has been quite a lively discussion these days, with many concerns and criticisms about the plate. In fact, I am very happy. I'm glad that everyone has been paying attention to the work, and I want to say to everyone, don't worry, just a few chapters will reveal all the issues you care about, such as why the wolf claws are not used, the development of power, etc. It can be said that the current predictions for wolves and tigers are only slightly different, but only a little bit. After two chapters are released today, there will still be many speculations, which may be overturned tomorrow.

The first volume is coming to an end soon, and I will open a single chapter to talk about it in detail. Finally, thank you all again, love you, rub.
