Chapter 278: Citi Nation Divided Again
Time flies by like water, and the days seem to pass very quickly.
In the more than 60 days of May and June, Zhu Fugui has never felt so hard since he crossed the country, except for the few days when he was digging coal.
As the king of a country, filming in his busy schedule is really a huge challenge.
Fortunately, his "Sun and Moon No. 1" special car has been upgraded to Great Wall Motors, and the speed is far from being comparable to that of a thirty or forty yard agricultural vehicle like Sunrise Jia.
It only takes more than 1 hour to travel between Xinfeng and the film and television city.
Moreover, during this period, whether it is industrial and agricultural production, or power grid construction, or the infiltration work against Japan, it has been carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan.
And on the Western Front, with the unbreakable alliance of the United States of America, there are signs of another division.
Mobai has advanced the Line of Actual Control (LAC) to the west bank of the Missouri River.
As long as the Fengdu-Omaha line is broken through and the logistical pressure is eased, the 3rd Division will be able to carry out the next offensive.
While the military oppression was being carried out, the Akemi peace talks were also going on in secret.
Although Zhu Fugui claimed to have personally stabbed Lincoln, the White House knew that this was nonsense.
At least what kind of fierce battle in the White House, with two guns fired at the same time, killed dozens of presidential guards, such a record is complete nonsense.
But they really had no way to refute it in the war of public opinion, so they could only intensify their efforts to slander Zhu Fugui as a shameless and cunning sinister Oriental with three-foot-long nails.
But secretly, the Johnson-led Democratic government is already trying to reconcile with Daming and sign an armistice.
The Republican Party, on the other hand, whether or not they genuinely support Arabhan Lincoln, is certainly advocating a tough strategy against Ming.
At the moment of the three-way game, a new storm appeared.
Under the influence of the butterfly effect, Lincoln did not die on the spot this time.
But the severe injury to the prefrontal lobe also put his life in jeopardy.
Doctors at the Army General Hospital advocated a go-get, with high-dose mercury pulse therapy, high-dose coffee anal enema, and unlimited bloodletting.
Give it a go, and turn your bike into a motorcycle.
Perhaps Your Excellency the President will come back to life?
Fortunately, Lincoln's eldest son, Robert Lincoln, was very filial.
He believed that such a plan would be tantamount to sentencing his father to death, and that it would not work.
At the insistence of Robert Lincoln, Lincoln was sent to New York to be treated by Potter's miracle doctor.
Originally, in the eyes of the Johnson government, Robert's filial son's insistence was useless, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
Unexpectedly, a miracle really happened.
At the New York Medical College's Shutter Island Electrotherapy Center, Dr. Porter creatively proposed to operate on Mr. President by using acupuncture and high-powered electrodes to destroy the prefrontal lobe.
The future infamous prefrontal lobotomy came out 60 years ahead of schedule.
What about the effect of this surgery, which won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1949......
This kind of surgery is mentioned in works such as "One Flew Over the Asylum", "Shutter Island", "American Horror Story Season 2", etc., and the specifics can be experienced on their own.
Moreover, the development of prefrontal lobectomy has become more complicated and simplified, that is, an awl is used to pierce the brain from the upper eye socket, and then the brain tissue is destroyed back and forth, and the whole process takes only 10 minutes.
This coincides with Dr. Porter's idea of acupuncture shocks.
It can be said that Dr. Porter's research results are worth at least two Nobel Prizes.
It's a pity that now Nobel has just set up a gunpowder company in Hamburg, Germany, and has not yet become a millionaire, so there is no way to award this miracle doctor.
In this way, Dr. Porter, a bright new star in the medical world, was obscured by history, and he could only operate on the president to maintain his reputation as a genius.
To the surprise of all, the great President Lincoln is back on his feet!
Although his temperament changed drastically, he became silent and violent, but there is no doubt that the democratically elected president of the American people, the only legitimate president, he stood up!
All of a sudden, Johnson, a Democrat who had been in the White House for a month and was preparing to take over the presidency in accordance with constitutional procedures, immediately became embarrassed.
The constitution and the Bible are ready on my side, and I just need to take the oath, and you are filthy again?
In the 90 years since the founding of the United States, it has never encountered such a thing!
At this moment, the two houses of Congress, the Republican and Democratic parties, were arguing over whether to continue the vice president's succession ceremony.
In the end, the Democrats compromised, after all, they also understood that the federal government could not afford to toss at this time.
According to the Constitution, a vice president can only succeed to the throne if the president dies or becomes incapacitated.
But now Lincoln can eat and drink, trot, and scold his mother on the street, which obviously does not look like he has lost his ability to work.
Therefore, the Democrats chose to give the rights back.
However, at this moment, a new storm appeared again!
President Lincoln, who had regained his mobility, went out for a walk and stumbled upon instant information on stocks on a blackboard on the street.
In the 19th century, traders on stock exchanges would write down the rise and fall of stocks on a small blackboard on the street for investors to see......
Prefrontal lobotomy doesn't turn a person into a complete idiot, otherwise he wouldn't be considered a god for a long time.
At least, President Lincoln, who lost his prefrontal lobe, still knows what stocks are.
Stocks are his lifeblood!
So, looking at the free-falling shipping stock price, President Abraham Lincoln rolled his eyes, and he fell again.
It took three days for President Lincoln to stand up again.
Only this time, he has become a hemiplegic patient who is half paralyzed and needs crutches and special care.
In other words, about 3/4 of Lincoln's brain was already out of function by this time.
But in this era, human cognition of brain function is not enough to realize this.
All eyes are on one point.
Does Lincoln still have what it takes to be the Grand Commander of America?
A paralyzed person certainly cannot be president.
And what about being half paralyzed?
Theoretically supposed to be half a president?
This time, there is no room for compromise between the two parties.
The Northern Union is torn again.
Although Grant, the commander-in-chief of the Union Army, was ashamed that Lincoln was wounded under his nose, because Lincoln was already semi-paralyzed and unfit to be the head of the American Führer, he chose to pledge allegiance to the Democratic administration that controlled the White House.
At this time, Robert Jr.'s legion, which had been exterminating in the mountains, arrived in New York in a high-profile manner and announced his support for the benevolent President Lincoln to restore his power......
In this way, the North American continent was in chaos, ushering in July of the third year of Germany.
Summer has arrived.
