Chapter 783: Diamond's Incredible Story (Part II)
The story Diamond told made Ray find incredible!
What did the Black Hat Society have to do with President Lincoln's assassination?
He hadn't even heard of the Black Hat Society or anything about it before today!
"Ray, I know you're hard to believe, and there are some things I had a hard time believing when I first heard them. Diamond had long anticipated the reaction when he first heard the story:
"But if you think about it, there were so many strange factors that came out of Lincoln's assassination. Why did the lock in the president's box break? Why did no one report such a big incident for several days? Why did John Pike, the policeman who guarded the box, go out to drink instead of doing his duty? Where did all the bodyguards around the president go? Why did Booth run away so easily after assassinating President Lincoln? Why was his whereabouts suddenly discovered when he could not be caught anywhere?"
Yes, yes, why?
When Diamond raised so many doubts in one breath, all Ray Huanxi could do was to grab his scalp again and again.
"In fact, even up to now, there are countless mysteries about the assassination of President Lincoln, but there are no more accurate answers to these mysteries. Diamond reopened a can of beer:
"But I can tell you now that the vast majority of the people around President Lincoln at that time were bought by the Black Hat Society, some were bought with money, some were used to threaten themselves or their families, and some were not clean and were caught by the Black Hat Society. The Black Hat Society will not easily have a president who hinders its growth. So after President Lincoln's assassination, Vice President Andrew Johnson took over as president, and the Black Hat Society quickly began negotiations with him. ”
President Johnson succumbed to the pressure of the Black Hat Society and agreed to the vast majority of the conditions put forward by the Black Hat Society.
The first heyday of the Black Hat Society, known as the "Bronze Age", began.
The U.S. government soon allowed the Black Hat Society to monopolize many industries in the United States in a short period of time.
Huge wealth began to flow to the Black Hat Society.
The huge sum of money deposited in the French bank was transferred back to the United States. All the profits earned by the members of the Black Hat Society will be used to supplement the deposit. So this secret money is increasing almost every day.
Because they know that this organization is closely related to themselves.
The hands of the Black Hat Society are getting longer and longer, there are too many industries to monopolize, and as wealth increases, so does the power.
The organization's top brass decided that the name "Black Hat Society" was no longer suitable for today's society, so they changed their name for the first time:
American Free Economic Union.
Then they decided to get involved in politics.
It is well known that the U.S. government is mostly governed by Democrats and Republicans. But before that there was another party that was very influential and launched several US presidents:
Whigs!
i.e. the American Liberal Party.
Black Hat - The American Free Economic Union has decided to reorganize the Liberal Party and help it with huge sums of money to further control the United States.
But this is a huge challenge to the bottom line of the US government.
Full-fledged covert sanctions against the American Free Economic Union began.
It was never a wise decision to engage in an all-out confrontation with a country, but George Ben Armstrong, the head of the American Free Economic Union at the time, was dizzy and resolutely followed the plan.
In the process, Armstrong, as a policymaker, made several stupid moves one after another, allowing the US government to seize the opportunity to chase and fight. The American Free Economic Union (LIBERAL) has been losing ground and has been hit hardest on all fronts.
Especially when it comes to the economy.
The U.S. government froze almost all of their deposits in banks for various reasons.
Once the economy is sanctioned, the American Free Economic Union loses its most powerful weapon.
This organization is about to end its own life!
In such a situation, Armstrong announced his resignation.
And one afternoon he ended his life with a dinner knife.
But the fate of the American Free Economic Union did not end with Armstrong's death.
James Martin Monteveran took over the place left by Armstrong.
This is an extremely clever fellow who has found an opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the economic and political lifeblood of the U.S. government, forcing the U.S. government to reconcile with them.
But the premise is that they need a sum of money, and it must be a huge amount!
The American Free Economic Union, which was once short of money, is now most lacking in funds.
Time waits for no one, and this is a critical moment that has a bearing on the future and destiny of the American Free Economic Union! There is a possibility that this organization will be completely dismantled!
"At this critical moment, a mysterious figure appeared. Diamond paused as if to sell off at this point: "Let's call this man Mr. Q for the time being." Mr. Q met Mr. Montfuran by chance. Upon learning of their plight, he generously offered a large sum of money to the American Free Economic Union. This amount of money was an astronomical amount of money at the time, and with this money, the counterattack of the American Free Economic Alliance has finally begun!"
It was a terrible and sharp counterattack!
The U.S. government's economic lifeline abroad has been hit hard, and at home, the 20th president of the United States, James Garfield, was assassinated, along with President Lincoln.
Vice President Chester Arthur takes over as President of the United States.
What kind of America was the United States of that era?
An industrial revolution pushed the economy of the United States, which was originally dominated by agriculture, into rapid progress during this period. The industrial output value of the United States quickly caught up with that of Britain, France, Germany, and other European powers, and social and personal wealth accumulated rapidly, and people's hearts and minds were also impetuous and mercenary.
The rapid economic development of the United States has not had time to establish a complete legal system to prevent corruption, and it has been quickly pulled into the most corrupt ~ corrupt period of American history by people in the pursuit of fame and profit.
Coupled with the crisis of the foreign economy, the newly appointed US President Arthur is worried about internal and external troubles. In the face of the counterattack of the American Free Economic Alliance, Arthur was already powerless.
He was forced to settle with the American Free Economic Union.
A serious crisis has finally passed.
And the person who should be most grateful is Mr. Q. To express gratitude to Mr. Q for saving the organization, the Free Economic Alliance of America, which originally had only six executive members, created a new executive committee position.
Sitting in this position is Mr. Q.
This position will be retained by Mr. Q in perpetuity, and his borrowing from the American Free Economic Union will be treated as an investment and he will be entitled to preferential dividends in perpetuity.
This is the best reward for Mr. Q.
At the same time, the American Free Economic Union began another new reform! )
