Chapter 904: Persuading Robert Lee

Chinese and European journalists, including those from the Confederate States, were full of excitement and excitement, while reporters from the North were shocked and incredulous, knowing that if Lincoln wanted to be emperor in the United States, it would be a top priority, even more serious than dividing the United States.

Because Americans are different from Europeans, Americans have always admired democracy and freedom, and will never allow an emperor to appear above their heads, and if Sherman and Grant's accusations are true, then the entire American people will not stop until Lincoln is torn to pieces.

Olivier was very unhappy in his heart, although he was surprised by the whimsy of Grant and Sherman, but what did it mean to compare Napoleon III? Isn't this a scandalous image of its own emperor?

The confessions of these two people are completely from Wang Feng, as a modern person, of course, he understands the importance of breaking the news, the more sensational, the more unreasonable the material, the more in line with the appetite of the people.

Perhaps the first reaction of many people when they see it is not to believe it, indeed, how credible can it be relayed by the mouths of the two captives, Grant and Sherman? Reasonable people will consider this question, such as whether there is a forced confession, whether there is an exchange of interests, as for the oath with the Bible in hand, it can only be said that whoever believes is mentally retarded.

Therefore, Wang Feng is not afraid to make a big fuss, the bigger and more surprising things, the longer the vitality will be, Wang Feng needs to extend the aftermath of this matter until the northern elections in November and August, and for the United States, the big thing is not as big as Lincoln's vain attempt to become emperor, this is really a day that has been pierced.

Although no one in the audience made a loud noise, they were all talking, "Bang bang! Please be silent! Brig slammed the gavel twice. "Mr. Grant, Mr. Sherman." Can you guarantee the veracity of your confessions in court? ”

Both men said with serious faces, "We can swear to the Bible." ”

"Hmm~~" Buduange nodded: "The stakes are very high, and today is over." I declare an adjournment! “

After the sound of a wooden gavel, Brig stood up and walked back with a blank face, and everyone, including Wang Feng, stood up and saluted before leaving.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of China, please wait." Robert Lee stopped Wang Feng: "Can you borrow a step to speak?" ”

Wang Feng sighed secretly, for this old guy. He is still very respectful, but his position is different, so what can he do?

"Sir Robert Lee, what's wrong?" Wang Feng smiled slightly.

Robert Lee said with a serious face: "I am very grateful that you were able to come out of the time when the Union was in crisis, and I cherish your friendship very much, but I solemnly ask you to let go, the situation between the North and the South of the United States is allowed to develop naturally, is it okay?" I think. The United States cannot be an enemy of China, the two countries are separated by a Pacific Ocean, there is no fundamental conflict of interest, and there can be no territorial disputes. The two countries have the basis for permanent friendship. “

Robert Lee is very sincere, and as far as the United States is concerned, it is true that there is no threat to China. If it weren't for the later generations, Wang Feng would really be soft-hearted. But alas, he knows the United States too well. Because of its geographical superiority and the atmosphere of freedom and openness, as long as there is an opportunity, the United States will naturally develop into a superpower, and now is a God-given opportunity to split the United States.

After a little hesitation, Wang Feng's face was also grim: "We will put aside the conflict of interests between the two countries for the time being, I only ask you, if the north makes major concessions to the south, what will it rely on to maintain it?" “

Robert Lee said without hesitation: "Of course, it depends on the letter of the law. "Hehe~~" Wang Feng smiled contemptuously: "Did the north comply with the fugitive slave pursuit law formulated in 1850?" According to the U.S. Constitution, Lincoln did not have the power to abolish slavery, but he still ordered the abolition of slavery. U.S. states have the right to join or leave the Union at will, but so what? Isn't the North still waging war against the South?

Mr. Robert, I know that you have illusions about the North and understand your love for the United States, but you must be clear that the strength of the South has always been far inferior to that of the North, and this four-year-long war was basically fought in the South, which brought serious damage to the southern states and further widened the gap between the North and the South, and now that China, Britain and France are all helping the South, the North is forced to bow its proud head and let out the wind that it is willing to make a major compromise with the South. In exchange for the South remaining within the Union.

But after we are gone, who can guarantee that the North will fulfill the treaty? Do you want us to do it again? You should be aware that the North has the right to trample on the letter of the law and the Constitution, and they have been doing so, while the South, as the weaker party, does not have the right to do so.

Besides, the four-year war has created a huge hatred and chasm between the North and the South, and because of the indiscriminate killing and looting of the North against the South, the people of the South hate the North, and the two sides have lost the basis for peaceful reunification.

We have a saying in China, called rather for the head of the chicken, not for the tail of the ox, rather than be discriminated against and suppressed by the north in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to become independent, only independent, not restricted by the north, the south can get real development opportunities, do you think, to maintain a bloated and huge, and internal contradictions of the pan-American, and a united heart, reached a consensus, but the territory is much smaller in the United States of America, which is more beneficial to the people of the south? "This ......" Robert Lee regretted coming to Wang Feng again, he felt that his belief had been shaken, although Wang Feng's statement was based on predictions, but they were all based on facts and deduced, after all, the difference in strength between the north and the south is undeniable, in the past ten years, the south has gradually lost control of the Congress due to the disadvantage of the population, a Congress controlled by northerners, what does it mean for the south?

After a long time, Robert Lee reluctantly asked: "Isn't China also relying on force to maintain a huge empire?" Why can't the United States? Perhaps time will gradually dissipate the hostility between the North and the South. ”

Wang Feng shook his head disapprovingly and said: "China has been a unified country since 2,000 years ago, although there have been divisions during this period, but every generation of people with lofty ideals have taken the maintenance of national unity as the highest goal in life, so China has a unified public opinion foundation and historical background.

The United States has not had a loose federal system composed of states in the form of voluntary participation from the very beginning, and the people's feelings for the states are greater than their feelings for the federation, and when they feel that the federation is no longer suitable for them, they can completely withdraw and take another path. (To be continued.) )
