Chapter 443: Holding History in Your Hands
The next moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Li Mu saw John Booth put his hand into his shirt, he suddenly stopped tapping his fingers on the table, and his mind calmed down.
"Bang."
......
The gunshots were remembered, and Ford's Theatre immediately went into chaos.
Then, the sixteenth president of the United States, Lincoln, would be pronounced dead the next day.
Historically, John Booth would pull out a pistol from his box and shoot at Lincoln from behind, ending the life of the president who had just won the Civil War.
That's what history says.
It is also the normal trajectory of history after Li Mu did not intervene.
It's just that in the end, when Li Mu saw the actor take out his gun, he suddenly changed his mind and planned to intervene for a while.
Let the trajectory of history be in his hands.
"Don't hurt the gunman's life."
The voice fell.
"Bang."
"Bang."
"Bang."
The gunshots that set Ford's Theatre up were not one, but three.
One was from John Booth, the comedian who assassinated Lincoln.
The other two gunshots were made by Steve and Arnold, who had drawn and fired their guns in an instant at Li Mu's signal.
John Booth's gun was naturally fired at Lincoln.
And the bullet that Steve fired was aimed at the bullet that John Booth had already fired.
In order to miss the bullet that should have been fired at Lincoln.
Although this seems incredible, and it is impossible to do in the eyes of ordinary people, it is simply easy for cyborgs, as cannon fodder robots in interstellar warfare, to deal with thermal weapons in the planet and calculate the trajectory of their bullets.
In particular, that John Booth was using only a revolver.
The gun in Steve's hand is a desert eagle produced by the plane, and combined with the super computing power of cyborgs, it can completely miss the bullet fired by John Booth.
At the very least, it was possible to save the American president from the clutches of death without harming Lincoln's life.
Arnold fired a bullet at John Booth himself, and a bullet pierced the other man's hand holding the gun.
The whole process is complicated and tedious to describe, but in fact, it is all done in a flash, in a second.
Whether it was John Booth pulling out a gun and shooting, or Li Mu ordering Steve and Arnold to shoot and meddle in the American history of the Third Smuggling Plane.
There's a reason why Steve would shoot John Booth's bullet after he fired it, rather than just knocking the opponent's gun out.
Li Mu suddenly changed his attention when John Booth pulled out his gun, no longer looking at history coldly, and being a bystander of history.
In this way, it would be useless for Steve to shoot the gun in John Booth's hand again, and it may not change anything at all.
At that time, according to the time difference, I am afraid that the bullet had already flown out of the chamber according to the historical trajectory and fired at Lincoln's back in a step-by-step manner.
End the life of the American president.
......
After doing all this, without waiting for Steve and Arnold behind him to put away the pistols in their hands, Li Mu stood up and straightened his clothes.
At this time, Dracula. Ben Silen looked at Steve and Arnold's pistols still smoking in their hands with a frightened expression, and asked Li Mu in horror, "Li, what's going on?" ”
Li Mu looked at the chaos that was taking place in Lincoln's VIP box. Benslen said, "It's nothing, our Mr. Lincoln had an encounter with an assassin, and as a friend of Mr. Lincoln, I let my men intervene a bit." ”
Hearing this, Able hurriedly stepped forward and swept Li Mu's body, seeing that there was no trace of scars, he asked reassuringly, "Sir, are you okay?" ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "What can I do, it's Mr. Lincoln's VIP box that has an accident, and it's not us here." ”
"Besides, if something happens, there are also Steve and Arnold."
By this time, in Lincoln's VIP box, the president's entourage had pushed the incapacitated John Booth to the ground, making him lose the ability to shoot again.
When Li Mu saw that Lincoln's entourage had subdued the gunman, he confronted Dracula, who was still in shock. Benslen said, "Come on, Dracula, don't you want to pay a visit to Mr. Lincoln?" Now it's time for us to visit our friends. ”
Dracula. Ben Silen subconsciously stood up and replied, "Ah, oh, okay Lee. ”
Afterwards, Li Mu instructed the entourage in the box: "Abel, Steve, you all stay here, and Dracula and I will go." ”
......
Li Mu knocked on the door of Lincoln's VIP box.
"Who?"
"Li Mu, Dracula. Benslen came to see Mr. Lincoln. ”
The next second.
Lincoln's voice was heard in the box.
"Welcome Mr. Lee and Mr. Dracula."
As the words fell, a presidential entourage opened the door of the box and looked at Li Mu and Dracula outside the door with a wary face. Ben Slen.
Li Mu looked at the tense atmosphere in the box, and said to the president's entourage who opened the door relaxedly: "Don't worry, we are friends of Mr. Lincoln, and we don't have guns on us." ”
"Alright, let them in." Lincoln said as he was surrounded by the president's entourage.
"Please come in." Hearing Lincoln's order, the president's entourage moved out of the way.
Entering the box, Li Mu didn't pay attention to the gunman John Booth who was pressed to the ground and had not yet taken it down, but looked at Lincoln who was under heavy protection.
"Mr. Lee, Mr. Dracula, thank you for the rescue just now, and thank you for me, the two gentlemen who shot me." Lincoln was the first to speak, his tone full of gratitude.
He is not a fool, after being injured, he has roughly understood the entire process of the shooting, and he also noticed the two people who shot in the box where Li Mu and them were.
If it hadn't been for the two men in Li Mu's box who had shot, Lincoln knew that he might have been shot tonight.
Li Mu looked at Lincoln, who was only injured in the arm, and said: "It's okay, we just happened to do it, but Mr. Lincoln, as a friend, I still want to tell you that the Civil War has just ended, and there are still opposition forces in the South who are not satisfied with the management of the White House, so you must pay attention to safety when you travel in the future." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your concern." Lincoln said.
At this time, Li Mu turned his attention to the gunman, looked at the famous gunman John Booth in history, and said: "Mr. Lincoln, is this the gunman?" ”
Lincoln said, "Yes. ”
Dracula. Ben Silen said angrily, "Mr. Lincoln, did you ask something, it scared me to death just now, this damn fellow." ”
Lincoln looked at the gunman who was pressed to the ground and said, "Mr. Dracula, I haven't asked anything at the moment, this murderer just said that he sympathizes with those Southern forces...., and the rest will wait for the police department to investigate." ”
Dracula. After hearing this, Ben Siren said disappointedly: "Well, that's the only way, it seems that when I go out next time, I will have to find some protection personnel, and I can't just take one entourage." ”
Li Mu smiled: "You should have been like this a long time ago, after all, the friendship company still wants you to develop." ”
"Of course, Mr. Lincoln too, the United States needs you as a president, and we businessmen who expect fairness, those blacks, the slaves, also need you as a great president."
Dracula. After hearing this, Ben Silun also persuaded: "Yes, Mr. Lincoln, you must bring more presidential retinue when you go out in the future." ”
Lincoln nodded in agreement, "Well, now I think so, too." ”
.......
After chatting with Lincoln in the VIP box for a while, Li Mu and Dracula. Ben Slen took his leave, then returned to the box and left with his entourage.
After the shooting, there was no audience in the theater for a long time, and it was impossible for Ford's Theatre to perform comedy now.
Perhaps it would be true that Ford's Theatre will remain closed from now on, as recorded in history, and will retain its post-Lincoln decorations.
