On May 1, 1869, Philadelphia was still a little cool, but the weather was clear, cloudless, and sunny.

"Ladies! Gentlemen! ”

Such good weather can be said to be quite rare, and such a good day naturally has to be used well, there are many, many Philadelphia people gathered before the independence hall, and there is also a podium, the senior officials of the Lincoln administration have come out, and on the podium is President Lincoln himself!

Obviously, the president is going to give a speech today, and Lincoln is a master of speeches, which is true, but the speech in front of the Independence Hall today is unusually heavy.

"First of all, I want to apologize to all the people of the United States of America! I didn't do a good job as president! I am remiss in my duty! ”

"Oooooooooo......oo

“NONONO！ ……”

After President Lincoln's words came out, they immediately caused a great reaction from the people of Philadelphia, and everyone said that President Lincoln was not bad and did a good job, of course, there were also boos, but very few.

The United States is basically this kind of culture, as long as you give a speech and talk about something in front of the public, then everyone will support you to a great extent, even if it is that kind of evil person, as long as it is not too bad, it will be right, because coming out like this and standing in front of everyone is a kind of bravery in itself.

However, this culture is obviously useless at this point, as Lincoln says next.

"The main reason why I am here today to give a speech is to say one thing, because of my personal governance problems, I have caused many, many bad consequences, so I am here. I announce my resignation from the post of President of the United States of America! ”

"Ahhh

"Oooooooooo......oo

It turned out to be a resignation?!

All the people of Philadelphia are stupid. None of them could accept the sudden news. Because this thing is just unexpected...... So why exactly?

"Don't! Mr. President! You don't quit! You lead us into battle! ”

"Yes! Mr. President! We all listen to you! We will do what you command! ”

"That's right! The liberal democratic United States should not bow to that empire! ”

The people are not fools, although they love to make noise and watch the excitement, but at this time, almost everyone understands that Lincoln's sudden resignation is likely to be his surrender next!

Of course. There are also many people who can't see this, but they shout and follow the crowd, but are they really going to surrender?

"Ladies! Gentlemen! I really appreciate everyone's understanding of me! However, in order not to increase the number of casualties in vain, and in order to preserve the historical relics intact, I hereby declare that it can be regarded as a call to accept the demands of the American Empire. We should all surrender unconditionally! ”

At this point, Lincoln's old face was filled with tears. And the whole person is constantly trembling...... He really didn't want to surrender like this, but there was no way!

Philadelphia is like an island, all the passages are basically cut off, and the most important thing is that the imperial army is very face-saving, they didn't attack, and they didn't even go to the Philadelphia side**, which is actually even more uncomfortable.

In addition, many people have surrendered, just like those famous generals before, how ostentatious they were when they were in Washington, but now, just like the one shown in that photo, Joseph. Hook, they've all become Imperial Army, so how can this battle be fought?

If you want to say that you should have listened to Sward in the first place, you should have gone directly to New York, but Lincoln himself understood that he couldn't go, because Philadelphia is too important, this is the history of the United States, how short is the history of the United States? Can you casually lose such an important historical city?

Anyway, for various reasons, Lincoln really can't help it when he comes to this point, but it's not ......

By the way, he resigned first!

This is actually Lincoln's last method, that is, if he Lincoln does not resign, then the situation after that is that the president of the United States surrenders, don't forget, constitutionally, the president of the United States is the supreme commander of the U.S. military, if the supreme commander resigns, then what will the U.S. military do?

That's right, Lincoln actually showed his political wisdom in this matter, and he used his resignation to retain the flame of hope in the United States of America, and this flame was in two places, one was New York, and the other was Vice-President Andrew. Johnson, in Chicago!

It should be said that such a choice can definitely be made by people with great wisdom, ordinary people will not be like this, Lincoln really gave up his ego at this time, he made his last choice.

But there is a problem with this choice, and that is, since you Lincoln is no longer the president of the United States of America, why should we listen and surrender?

"Lincoln! You bastard! You betrayed the United States! ”

"That's right! This bastard is really a selfish politician as those newspapers say! ”

"Citizens of Philadelphia! Can we listen to such bastards? ”

"Can't! We're going to rebel! ”

Hey, it's messy!

Not long after Lincoln announced his surrender, the small square in front of the independence hall immediately fell into a riot, and many Philadelphia people were making noise, saying that they would not surrender, they would fight, and this was against it!

However, in such a situation, I was prepared before that!

"Don't make a fuss! Don't make a fuss! ”

"Keep a safe distance! Keep ......"

"You bastards! Do you really want to die? ”

I saw a group of United States soldiers coming out from the back of the Independence Hall, with weapons in their hands, but the muzzles of their guns were pointed at their own people.

"Fack! You're the crumbs! ”

"Oh God! What kind of world is this! You don't fight the enemy outside! And now they are coming to suppress us?! ”

I have to say that this situation is really difficult to understand.

Really, it was supposed to protect its own army, but now it is coming to deal with its own people, and the reason is that these ordinary people don't want to surrender like this, this thing doesn't sound right, unreasonable, and unacceptable.

But in the current situation, you have to press down on these troubles, otherwise this surrender will not be achieved, and if you don't surrender, then the Imperial Army will really come in, and I'm afraid it won't be these individuals in the square who will die, and what will Philadelphia be like at that time, then who knows?

So, even if violence is used, it must be suppressed!

And this suppression, in fact, there have been before, now it is really familiar, after Philadelphia has become an isolated city, in terms of economy, materials, a lot of problems have occurred, then naturally someone will come out to make trouble, and you have to suppress it first.

Then if Li Mengyang sees this situation, he will definitely say, 'Isn't this the American version of the outside world must be settled first?' ’

Well, now Li Mengyang has not come to Philadelphia, and Lincoln, the former president, is really heartbroken when he sees such a scene, and it is really ......

"Hmm...... Ah......h

Oh no, I saw Mr. Lincoln pressing his chest, his expression was very painful!

"Mr. President!"

"Mr. Lincoln!"

The high-ranking government officials and the guards next to them immediately came up when they saw that the situation was not good, and they hurriedly implemented some measures.

And those troublemakers looked at it, this ......

Is it still noisy?

"Kill them!"

"Citizens of the United States! And the citizens of the United States! Everyone, rush! ”

"Rush!"

The people of Philadelphia couldn't take it anymore, and they started to do it!

"Don't come here!"

"Bastard!"

"Not good! Order! ”

Bang bang bang......

Originally, this was a speech that hoped not to hurt the people of Philadelphia, and Lincoln's starting point was really this, but now everything has changed, and he has gone in the opposite direction, but he has no power to stop it now......

When a team of men led by Zhang Shijie entered Philadelphia, he saw chaos!

"You're soldiers from the Empire, aren't you? Hurry up and put down the rebellion! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Shijie was very confused, but he knew that the person in front of him was the Minister of Finance of the United States, Chase, that is, the father of His Majesty the Emperor's concubine Fiona, so this ......

"Sir, why are you so flustered?"

At this time, Chase really has no dignity at all, he is now disgraced, and the clothes on his body are torn in many places.

"Oops! I don't have time to explain! Hurry up! Kill the mob first! That's right! Don't deal with the policemen and the United States, they've all surrendered! ”

In this sentence...... It's weird......

But don't worry about it for the time being, Zhang Shijie gave an order!

"Comrades! Everybody into town! Quell the rebellion! ”

So...... Hey, the Imperial Army is not very familiar with the situation, but it has not been talked about before, so many United States troops and police in Philadelphia have become the guns of the Imperial Army!

Accidental injury, definitely accidental injury......

If you want to say before, I really have made full preparations, the Lincoln administration wants to surrender in order to keep everyone safe, but he must resign before he can surrender, but he is the president, he can't find a corner and resign, right?

I didn't expect such a big thing to happen, I really didn't expect this trouble at all, and I didn't expect the people of Philadelphia to be so fierce that Burnside's subordinates couldn't control it.

That's right, this guy Burnside has never won a war, his opponent can't win, and his own people can't win, so it's really right to surrender.

But here, though, a problem arises.

"What? President Lincoln is dead!? ”

When Zhang Shijie quelled the riots, then he got the news...... (To be continued......)

PS: It's the National Day immediately after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the black car wishes everyone a happy double holiday! That's a lot of fakes, hehe......
