The matter has been settled perfectly.

Lei Huanxi was finally able to relax for a while, although there was still a shadow named Zhu Jinyan who was always following behind him, and he didn't know when he would suddenly stab again.

But what does it matter?

Aren't people going through so many ups and downs in this life?

Diamond, who had been following the development of events, saw that Ray Huanxi had once again successfully resolved the crisis, and in addition to being happy for his good friend, he was also leaving the country.

Schurrle and his photography team had long since left, but Diamond was concerned about Ray Huanxi, and second, he was really reluctant to leave this beautiful place for so long.

To be honest, this guy Diamond is really good, and he has helped Lei Huanxi a lot, especially in the promotion of pear blossom wine.

Now that he suddenly said that he was leaving, it really made Lei Huanxi a little reluctant.

A farewell dinner lasted almost three hours, and even after eating, Diamond seemed to be unsatisfied. It didn't take long for him to carry two beers and call out Lei Huanxi.

Sitting by Lei Huanxi's fish pond, it was a little cold, but the two guys didn't care about it.

"Hey, my friend, I hope you can go to France when you have time. Diamond extended his invitation: "You will be treated with my greatest hospitality there, and of course I will not ask you for your lodging." ”

Lei Huanxi laughed: "Lao Dai, when you come again next time, I won't ask you to charge for accommodation, I'll treat you." ”

"You're rare and generous, Brother Huanxi. That's what they call you, right?" Diamond laughed too, "You're a good man, I'll always remember you." ”

"Hey, how do you say that we feel like we're going to live and die?" Ray protested loudly.

Diamond smiled even more.

It's nighttime. The moon hangs in the sky, the stars are shining, and tomorrow is another good day.

Diamond suddenly said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, I really don't want to go." Ray, it's nothing anyway, I'll tell you a story. ”

Storytelling?

Our brother Huanxi is the one who likes to listen to stories the most.

So Diamond told him a story.

That's a story about America. It took place during the Civil War in the United States.

The outcome of the Civil War ended with a Northern victory.

And Diamond's story began just before the war broke out.

At the beginning of the war, under the command of Robert E. Lee, a prominent Southern military strategist, and Thomas Jackson, the Southern army continued to win victories, while the Northern army was defeated.

The Southern Army is even already Washington.

The North has to think about the possible consequences of defeat.

At that time, there were 23 states in the North with a population of 22.34 million developed industries, with an annual output value of $1.5 billion, which was a remarkable number.

Some big capitalists secretly contacted and held a secret meeting, at which they decided to continue to support President Lincoln of the North. But it is necessary to consider the possibility of losing the war.

Together, they contributed a large sum of money, which was secretly deposited in a French bank as a fund for the failure of the North.

At the same time, they formed an organization at this meeting:

Black Hat Society.

The name comes from the fact that people at the time liked to wear black tall hats.

At that time, none of the members of the Black Hat Society had any idea what kind of impact the organization would have in the future.

The amount of money that the Black Hat Society was able to gather was quite huge!

While supporting the Northern army with huge sums of money, they sent capable men into Britain secretly to sabotage the British government's decision to support the South's intervention in the American war.

Large numbers of British workers began to support the American North, which forced the British government to abandon its own plans.

And in the end, the North won.

There were many factors that contributed to the victory of the North in this war, but the Black Hat Society also played a crucial role in the support of the Northern government.

The members of the Black Hat Society have decided to enjoy the fruits of victory.

President Lincoln, however, rejected the Black Hat Society's demands.

The reason is very simple. He believes that once the Black Hat Society's request is agreed, then a large number of industries in the United States will be monopolized by the Black Hat Society.

There are many monopoly industries. Wealth will be concentrated in the hands of the Black Hat Society, which is very bad for the United States.

Even now, the Black Hat Society's influence on the U.S. government is too great.

So President Lincoln made a decision to solve the problem of the Black Hat Society!

It's just that he ignored a very important problem, even if it is not so easy to solve a big chaebol, let alone an organization like the Black Hat Society?

The Black Hat Society soon learned of President Lincoln's intentions. They were very angry!

They believed that they had played a decisive role in the Civil War and that they were America's great benefactors, and that President Lincoln was betraying them by doing so.

Therefore, the Black Hat Club decided to start early!

On November 8, 1864, Lincoln was re-elected President of the United States. However, before Lincoln could put his postwar policies into practice, tragedy struck.

April 14, 1865, at 10:15 p.m. Just five days after the surrender of the Confederate Army, Lincoln was shot at the Ford's Theatre in Washington. Sympathetic actor John Booth sneaked into the president's box and shot Lincoln while the president's bodyguards were leaving. On April 15, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States of America, passed away.

"Wait, wait. When he heard this, Ray Huanxi suddenly seemed to understand something: "You, do you say that President Lincoln's assassination has something to do with the Black Hat Society?"

Diamond nodded: "It's not just related to the Black Hat Society, but it's also planned by the Black Hat Society." ”

Lei Huanxi was a little confused.

According to historical descriptions, Booth, the actor who assassinated Lincoln, was born in a famous family in the American theater industry, and his superb acting skills have always been the object of pursuit by female theater fans.

But Booth was playful and worried about his country, and he was unequivocal in his political views: a staunch supporter of the Confederate Union.

After the defeat of the South, Booth decided to assassinate Lincoln.

He calmly entered the president's box at 10 p.m. Originally, there was a lock in the box, but the lock broke a few days ago, and no one reported it.

Since Booth was originally an actor, none of the people who guarded the president embarrassed him.

John Pike, the policeman, was supposed to be on the road leading from the hall to the box, but he had no interest in watching the show, so he hid in another room to drink.

When Booth entered the box, he calmly aimed his gun between Lincoln's left ear and his back, and fired a total of eight shots, Lincoln was hit six times, five of which hit the vital point.

Then there was chaos in the box, and Booth jumped from the box onto the stage, turned around and shouted to the audience, "This is the end of all tyrants." ”

After Lincoln's assassination, Booth fled south.

But as the government launched a nationwide search, Booth was found in a locked pigsty.

In the end, he was shot dead by outside personnel.

In the decades since his death, many people have claimed to be the real Booth, and one has claimed to be Booth twice apart decades.

That's what history says.

But how did it evolve into another version in Diamond's mouth!(To be continued.) )
