Chapter 203: Running for Governor (6)

"But speaking of which, this Mark Twain is a little annoying, and he may be a threat to me!" Hoffman said with a sudden frown.

"Huh?! Does he still have this advantage? Why didn't I see it? The assistant asked curiously.

Hoffman glared at the assistant dissatisfied, and then said two words lightly: "Fame!" With that, he turned his head away from him.

The assistant was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, yes, reputation is indeed a big advantage of Mark Twain, although he is also a little famous, but it seems that there is never negative news about him. And the negative news of your own boss is too much to count, but this can't be blamed on him, because in this kind of fight, don't say that you have some big or small problems, even if you don't, your competitors will make it up for you, but a lot of negative news can't be explained at all, and even the more and more black, it's no wonder that the boss's face became so ugly when he said these two words just now, it seems that he did say the wrong thing!

Thinking of this, the assistant said with the intention of making up for the merits: "Boss, you don't have to worry about this, I'll send someone to investigate his past, I don't believe that he hasn't done anything wrong before, and as long as he has done it, I can dig it out for him!" ”

Just as the assistant was inviting credit, suddenly the door was pushed open from outside, and one of Hoffman's men hurriedly ran in, whispered a few words in his ear, and then saw Hoffman laugh and said: "Okay, my lovely Bill, you don't have to send someone to find Mark Twain's black history, this guy has directly sent a big handle to our hands!" Do you know which group he plans to woo next, apart from the Veterans Association? ”

Assistant Bill thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "I really can't think of this." ”

"I guess you can't figure it out, because the people this guy wants to woo are actually black people, the guys who were slaves a few months ago, do you think he's crazy?" Hoffman said excitedly.

"Negroes? Why did Mark Twain woo them? Aren't they without voting rights, and it's useless to win them over? Bill asked, puzzled.

Hoffman replied disapprovingly: "Who knows what he thinks, aren't they all like this, they are young, unconventional, and think they are different, but in fact, they can't integrate into society at all, so they will do some inexplicable things!" ”

Then the conversation changed: "But anyway, this is a good thing for us, because this time we don't need to make a move to put him to death!" ”

"Don't you need us to do anything? So who will deal with him? I don't think he has any enemies, huh? Bill asked curiously.

"You idiot, he's openly supporting blacks now, so who do you say hates blacks the most now?" Hoffman prompted.

Bill thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Ah, I know, it's the 3 Klux Klan, it must be the 3 Klux Klan!" Then he frowned and said, "But aren't the Ku Klux Klans all active in the South?" Didn't you hear that we also have a Ku Klux Klan party in New York State? ”

"Wouldn't we be in touch without us? Who else is openly supporting blacks now, but our President Lincoln? After Mark Twain publicly declares his support for blacks, we don't need to agitate, I believe that the Ku Klux Klan will kill him by any means, so all we need to do now is to pass on the news to the Ku Klux Klan and let them be prepared in advance. Hoffman said triumphantly, and then added: "By the way, don't touch Mark Twain until then, you have to let him send this death statement smoothly, otherwise we will have to waste our own strength against him!" ”

"That's certainly fine, but I'm afraid Mr. Woodford might strike first." Bill said worriedly.

Hoffman waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I know that Woodford guy, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to kill people with a knife." Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment, and then muttered: "But this guy's news may not be so well-informed, forget it, let me remind him, rather than let Mark Twain be destroyed in the hands of Woodman, I would like to see him get headshot by the Ku Klux Klan!" ”

Just as Hoffman sent someone to inform Woodford and the Southern Klan, Downing, Mike, and Nicole had left the Veterans Association, and on the way Downing asked Nicole, "Nicole, do I remember that Mr. Morgan is not a Democrat?" How did you join the Independence Party? ”

In fact, after learning that Nicole is JP Morgan's future sister-in-law just now, Downing wanted to ask her, but it didn't seem appropriate to ask this in front of Adams, so it dragged on until now, you must know that there is such a rumor in later generations that "the Democratic Party is Morgan's, and the Republican Party is Rockefeller's!" This shows the Morgan's control over the Democratic Party.

Unexpectedly, Nicole shrugged her shoulders disapprerovingly and said, "I just met him this year, how can I change my party for him?" And there is no need for this, in his eyes, I am just a child who doesn't understand anything! ”

Listening to Nicole's explanation, Downing reacted, but yes, although Tracy is married to Morgan, she was not a member of the Morgan family before she got married, so it is very normal for the Morgan family to join not a political party, and now Morgan has not reached its peak, so his control over the Democratic Party is not so strong, so he should not care about future relatives joining other political parties, of course, This is also because Nicole is a member of a small party with no influence like the Independence Party, and if she joins the Republican Party, it is estimated that things will be completely different.

But even so, Downing was still a little worried, so he continued to ask: "Then do you think Mr. Morgan can agree to arrange for veterans to work in his property?" ”

"Why wouldn't he say yes? These soldiers are heroes, and their injuries and disabilities are all paid for the unity and peace of the country, so why not help them when you can? And John: Didn't he go around all the time during the war? So I don't think he will refuse, not to mention that there is still me, he will not give me face for such a trivial matter! Nicole replied confidently.
