Act 238 Compromise, Coexistence and the Manifestation of God's Will
"Is this prophesying my death?" said Lincoln with a smile as he put down the tabloid in his hand.
The poor-quality tabloid newspaper, not only dark in color, but also the plant fibers that are built into paper are like a frightened turkey on the eve of Thanksgiving, frantically shedding its feathers.
Lincoln at this moment is very different from Lincoln a few months ago.
Lincoln's physical signs may be a bit lower than they were a few months ago. After all, no matter who you are, the feeling of aging is inevitable.
However, his expression was far more confident than before.
This self-confidence comes from power.
Although, as president, he was elected by one capitalist after another like Doug.
It seems very unfree.
However, war is always the best means of centralizing power.
When external contradictions are greater than internal contradictions, it is both a crisis and an opportunity.
The crisis is at this time, if you are too mediocre and too forward-looking, it is very likely to directly lead to your own defeat.
However, the opportunity is that if a person has strong ability, in times of war, there will always be many more opportunities than in times of peace.
The basis of war is politics, and the basis of politics is economics.
The first thing Lincoln did when he came to power was not to recruit soldiers, but to work with Doug to issue greenback dollars, which solved the problem of the lack of metal currency in the North and the chaos of the bank bill system.
With finance as the core, various materials are deployed.
Let the troops on the front line be able to use the best equipment that can be manufactured, so that even if they eat, they can feel the federal government's care for them.
At the same time, of course, the side effect is that productivity is at full capacity, requiring a large number of workers.
The employment of a large number of workers, as well as the shortage of workers in the newly built factories, contributed to the recovery and recovery of the economy in the north.
The most important thing is that ordinary people never care what you say, you just tell them that there is a sea of stars in front of them, and as long as you work hard, you can get a planet, which is completely useless.
Even if the planet they were allocated was a planet made of gold, what could they do?
What they need is to eat, to live, to live happily in this world.
And based on the demand generated by the war, while allowing the factory to be fully productive, it also allowed them to make a lot of money.
Although, they don't have time to spend.
However, having money is the same as having confidence.
With faith comes hope.
And the person who has hope and the salted fish who have no hope are two completely different creatures.
Human agency is expressed here to the fullest.
Therefore, they sincerely and heartily love the great President Lincoln.
Therefore, President Lincoln said whatever they believed.
Even if they let them go to the front to die.
Therefore, although they had not been in contact with blacks, they also felt that black slaves should be emancipated after listening to President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
Because, when they think, they ignore the color of their skin and put themselves in the perspective of black people.
Thinking of them being oppressed by the ruthless lord of the manor, like those hateful bosses, are oppressing them.
And now, President Lincoln has made those hateful factory owners obediently pay their wages one by one.
Why didn't they believe and support President Lincoln for the equally odious plantation owners to get the retribution they had won?
Because of the widespread belief in God's relationship, many people have even regarded Lincoln as God's spokesman.
In this sinful land, execute God's judgment in his place.
Judge those who are wicked, and draw them to justice.
Although, the power of a single worker is insignificant compared to that of the capitalists.
But almost all the workers in the North admired President Lincoln.
Things get subtle.
Of course, the story of the American newspaper group also played a big role.
After all, what the American newspaper group is doing is to myth Lincoln.
And Lincoln, who was supported, also had confidence in front of the capitalists.
He began to do what he really wanted to do, instead of being willing to be a marionette of the capitalists anymore.
Even for Doug, this is an act of shooting himself in the foot. 、
But if Doug had to choose, wouldn't he do it?
No, he still does.
Why would he still do it?
Because, it is a process of exchange of interests.
Only effort pays off.
If I think before I give, I might lose after this, then I don't have to do anything.
It's like a life is destined to die from birth.
Is it true that all human beings have done nothing because of this?
Of course not!
Even, Lincoln's laughter also regarded the tabloid report as a provocation.
However, he was a little unsure of Doug's attitude right now.
Because, the media industry in the north has almost been monopolized by Doug.
Under such circumstances, the appearance of such a newspaper was instructed by Doug or not?
After all, at this time, the demands of the two people have changed.
Lincoln wanted to reduce the power of the capitalists as much as possible, so that ordinary people could have a better living space, and then help him fulfill his dreams.
And among them, the first person to be suppressed is none other than Doug Claydon.
Why Doug Claydon?
Because, this man now controls the entire federal district, almost all the media propaganda.
This is because this man is now in control of the currency issuance of the entire federal district.
And, his tentacles, his consortium, have reached everywhere.
In a way, the Claydon consortium is not so much a corporate alliance.
It's better to be a country within a country.
Lincoln was well aware that the foundation of power was based on economics.
And now the economic foundation of the North is in Doug's hands.
For such an ambitious, capable, and well-capitalized capitalist, can he ignore it and try to limit its expansion?
However, although he has a strong willingness to do so, it is not an easy thing to achieve such an effect.
Doug, on the other hand, obviously sensed his intentions as well.
The two people have worked together from the very beginning, and now they need each other and want to weaken each other's strength.
The two groups of people are now in a very delicate state.
Therefore, the report of this tabloid is very sensitive.
Lincoln felt that this was a provocation to himself.
Warn him that if you continue to do so, watch out for the neurotic gunman who shoots you.
But......
Why did Doug send this newspaper to him?
Is it to intimidate him?
No way.
Is it to scare him?
No way.
Was that to help him?
More unlikely.
Therefore, even Wisdom and Lincoln still couldn't figure out what Doug was going to do.
At this time, Doug was also looking for who wrote the report.
However, it is very difficult to find.
And the actions of these two sides seem to many to be a signal.
Because, the circulation of this newspaper is very small, and it is controlled by Doug.
So, the others didn't understand what was really going on.
Those who were spying on Doug also began their layout based on their own analysis.
However, most of their analysis is haphazard.
Chase after the wind and catch the shadow.
Doug, he didn't bother with these little flies at the moment.
And even when the high-level game is playing, things are still being done.
Thor's health, compared to a few months ago, is much better.
He is strong, and he can work faster.
However, his health is better and there is hope, although he is very happy, but some things are still bothering him.
For example...... His body ached from time to time.
It's not just his illness, almost all road builders have this kind of pain.
They don't know why it's going to be and how it's going to be cured.
Even, they didn't think about curing because they didn't have money.
Even if they have money now, they don't dare to govern.
Because, no one can guarantee that they will be cured.
However, just when Thor felt that he should endure it any longer.
A team of all white-clad people came to them.
They set up tents one after another, and on top of them there was a cross of equal width and length on the top, bottom, left and right.
They say they are doctors.
It was Claydon Investment Bank, a doctor who had come to solve their problems.
When they said this, Thor suddenly remembered that half a month ago, the foreman came to ask them if there was anything you found troublesome and unhappy.
There are many people who say that their bodies are always in inexplicable pain.
At that time, he thought that the workman was nervous.
After all, not long ago, this foreman still dared to shout and kill them for their attitude.
As soon as they take a little rest, the whip will be whipped on their bodies.
If such a person suddenly comes to you and asks, what do you feel uncomfortable about?
Shh
Even a turkey wouldn't believe him.
The turkey of the letter will surely turn into a roast turkey.
The thought of roasting turkey made a hint of saliva flow from the corners of Thor's mouth.
It wasn't that long ago that he actually had a roast turkey.
The taste still lingered in his mouth.
Claydon Investment Group, in Thor's view, is simply a company built by an angel.
As long as they have a need, the people of Claydon Investment Group will try their best to meet it.
And now, seeing this group of white people, he began to speculate, is this the doctor who came to solve their pain?
Sure enough, he guessed correctly.
It's the doctor.
These doctors look young, but they act in a straightforward manner and look very professional.
First, each worker took turns to check his body.
Determine basic information such as vision, height, weight, etc.
Even, knowing that at this time, these railway workers, who are at least ten years old, know how tall and heavy they are, and why they just can't see what others look so clear.
Although, what has not yet been resolved.
However, it is their set of actions that already make them trust.
In fact, no matter what the end of the year, the fastest way to gain the approval of strangers is to use medical skills.
Regardless of whether this medical technique is true or not.
First of all, as long as you are a human being, as long as you are alive, you will have problems with your body, and you will have diseases.
Even if you don't get sick now, you will get sick in the foreseeable future.
Therefore, as long as it is human, it is natural to have a dependence on doctors.
And if the doctor is more capable and can solve some conditions on the spot.
Then, the probability of gaining trust is even higher.
It is precisely for this reason that in the later years, no matter what kind of country or what kind of political system, the control of the group of doctors must be very strict.
You know, on the other side of the ocean, that ancient country.
Almost every time there is a rebellion, the first way to gather people is to start with curing the disease.
But is Claydon Investment Bank really that kind?
Is the Claydon Group really so conscientious like an angel?
No!
They investigated the physical condition of these workers.
Not for their health.
It's about trying their new medicine.
You know, drug testing is a painful and lengthy process.
Because, people are different from each other.
It is possible to test the drug at the hospital, although it is also possible.
However, those very obvious conditions can interfere with their statistical conclusions.
Therefore, the best way to get more accurate data is to find relatively healthy people and conduct trials on them.
Where can these healthy people be found?
It is certainly impossible to find ordinary people, ordinary farmers or small citizens.
Because, their liquidity is too great, not as well as observation.
And in the words of the workers, there are production tasks.
And now, the most suitable thing is the road builders who are about to complete the construction of the railway and are about to be idle.
However, although they were guinea pigs, they were happy.
After checking on everyone, the doctor began to ask them to continue to line up in turns, handed out small white pills for them to take on the spot, and then recorded the time when they took the medicine, and told them to tell them how they felt.
Thor, too, took two small white pills that looked delicate.
He was curious about what kind of effect these little white pills could have.
However, the effectiveness of the small pill was still beyond his imagination.
It was less than half an hour before Thor could no longer feel the pain that followed him.
This......
Thor was simply shocked.
He felt as if he had been twenty years younger, back to when he was a child, when his body was at its most energetic.
What the hell is this!?
How amazing is it?
Thor grew in awe of the organization called Claydon.
They also began to believe that perhaps they were really the embodiment of God's will.
