Chapter Seventy-Six: No One in the Family is Missing

Is Governor James still alive?

Will Governor James survive?

Is Tom Smith going to keep Governor James alive?

Whether Governor James survives or not, Governor James' entire family is now with John.

On a fishing boat adrift in the Gulf of Mexico.

"For the sake of us all old acquaintances, let you die and enter the sea again." John wiped the revolver in his hand and said to Governor James's family.

"Wow Wow Wow~"

"Godfather, why, aren't you my godfather?"

"Mom... I'm afraid..."

"Good... Close your eyes, and when you close them, you won't be afraid. ”

After hearing this, Governor James's family began to weep, began to pray, and began to tremble......

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

After a few gunshots, Governor James's entire family died on the deck of the fishing boat.

The "core employees" of HERO began to put "stainless steel anklets" on the corpses so that they could better swim in the Gulf of Mexico.

After confirming that the anklets were locked, the bodies were thrown into the Gulf of Mexico one by one.

After all the corpses had finished diving, John said to the other men:

"When I go back and release the news, I will say that Andrew Hamilton's family has run away with money, and it is okay to run away to a colony in Europe or the Far East."

John looked at the sunken corpses in front of him, John had a good relationship with Governor James's family, and a little boy even recognized John as his godfather.

It's a pity that John is just an executor, and being able to send them on their last journey is already the biggest "care".

November 7, 1867,

Austin, Texas, United States of America

On a high platform next to the state government stood a young man wearing red epaulettes.

On a high platform, he preached loudly to the tens of thousands of people around him.

Like a "beacon" of justice, sprinkle your "light of justice" on everyone around you.

"James is a big traitor."

"He betrayed the Dixies, betrayed Texas, betrayed all the people who voted for him."

"The state government is no longer trustworthy."

"Ahem... Ahem..."

Carl stood on the pedestal where he had been shot a few days earlier, wrapped in a large amount of gauze bandages, and the bandages on his abdomen were visibly bloodstained in the middle of his speech.

Even so, Carl, a staunch "warrior" of the federation and president of the staff federation, insisted on standing here and used his speech to inspire the employees and encourage them to persevere.

The cold wind in November and the body that had already been shot made Carl vomit small mouthfuls of blood with coughing, and most of the employee representatives in the audience were a little worried.

Look in the eyes, hurt in the heart.

They were all worried about Carl's health.

and admiration for Karl's "great" actions.

After highlighting a few mouthfuls of blood donations, Carl continued his indignant speech:

"Still, I believe we can elect a new state government that cares more about our Texas employees."

"I firmly believe that a better tomorrow exists."

"There is a tomorrow that makes life more comfortable for employees!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Tens of thousands of employee representatives chanted under Carl's call: "A better tomorrow exists." ”。

Carl, who took the lead in shouting, couldn't hold it after a few shouts, and the blood marks from the abdominal bandage became significantly larger, and everyone understood that this was a sign that the wound had cracked again.

Karl spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and fell straight back.

"President Karl!"

Tens of thousands of employees have seen the "sun" that gives them hope in their hearts and the "lighthouse" in their hearts that guides their path, Chairman Carr, despite his physical injury, insisted on continuing to use his speech to encourage everyone to continue to persevere and wait for the establishment of a new government.

Some of the employees in the employee group were moved to tears by President Carl.

More and more people are crying, and the pledge meeting of tens of thousands of employees has become a "crying" meeting.

President Karl was carried down on a stretcher bed by several key members of the Federation with red epaulettes, and gradually drifted away under the reluctant gaze of everyone.

After Carl was carried away, tens of thousands of employee representatives began to curse the dead Governor James:

"Damn James, the state House says James embezzled millions of dollars."

"James also got a lot of benefits from the Yankees through his governorship."

"The hateful family actually ran away to Europe overnight, and if I found it, I would definitely not have any good fruit for them."

"Didn't you say you ran away to India?"

"It doesn't matter where it is, anyway, if I meet him on Smith Street, I don't have any good fruit to eat."

“……”

"I really don't know how long it will take to get rid of all the Yankee spies in the state government!"

"As long as we kill all these "moths", we can go back to working as workers. ”

"Thank you so much to the hero company, who is willing to provide us with free food during the period of rectification by the state government."

"It's a pity that I didn't eat well when I didn't go to work."

"Some of the food is good enough, go back and wait for the notice."

“……”

"How long will it take for a referendum?"

"Listen to a few of the leaders of our federation over there, just wait for the government to get rid of the Yankee dogs."

"The new governor probably won't do that again."

"It's hard to say, this governor and those congressmen don't have a good thing, they are not as good as our union brothers."

"Hero is a great company."

"Thanksgiving to the HERO company."

"Praise John Mueller."

"Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving......"

B. People who have a name but have never heard of it in the whole state

C, a state official in a pro-Yankeo government known to all Texans,

D. The Minister of Finance during Governor James's tenure, it was rumored that he connived at Governor James' embezzlement

E, the founder of hero Inc., the people's hero of Texas, the savior of refugees in Ireland, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, and the pioneer of the American women's liberation movement - Tom Smith's cousin - Rocky Smith.

The results of this election were already in the hands of every Texas resident when the list of candidates for governor was distributed to every Texas resident.

There is no doubt that Rocky Smith, who is only twenty years old, was elected the new governor of Texas with an enthusiastic vote from the people of the state.

The new official took office with three fires, and Rocky wanted to carry out drastic reforms in Texas.

Loki's first reform target was the Smith factory of HERO
