Chapter 109 The vigorous general election campaign has quietly begun
The members of the Smith family, with the enthronement mission book distributed by Tom, are active in various parts of Texas and the Second Mexican Empire.
Someone was in charge of printing newspapers promoting the story of Emperor candidate Tom Smith in Texas and the Second Mexican Empire.
Shocked! There was a man who actually saved Texas! 》
"The Savior of Texas, it turned out to be him." 》
Someone was in charge of oral communication, and led dozens of senior cadres of the Smith Factory Area Staff Association to walk through the major Smith factory areas to praise Tom Smith's great achievements to the bloody and sweaty employees.
"Big brother, listen to me while carrying cement, let me tell you, we have a great man in Texas, and he is ......"
"As long as you vote as scheduled, Texas can go to the next level."
"What? You ask me if you can do an hour less when he is emperor? ”
"How can you not love the company like this!"
"The company gives you a job and raises your whole family, and you are embarrassed to ask for a reduction in working hours and a wage increase!"
"Say, are you an undercover agent sent by the Yankee!"
There was also a group of people who went out of Texas and worked with the Ku Klux Klan to list Tom Smith as the patron saint of white people in areas where the Ku Klux Klan was still in turmoil.
"Ladies and whites, you see, since Tom Smith founded the Heroine Company,"
"Can you still see the filthy and ignorant black slave on the street?"
"You can't see it, they have all gone to hell and are enslaved by Satan."
"Tom Smith is God's envoy to the world, so that all those black slaves are enslaved!"
And that's not all, the Smith factory area, the Smith mine area, and all the heroine-related industries in Texas have hung up all kinds of propaganda slogans near the production site:
"Without Tom Smith, there would be no New Texas!"
"Tom Smith, that's the Texas Sun!"
"Forever grateful to Tom Smith for his great service to Texas!"
"Thank you Tom Smith for giving me a job."
"Thanksgiving~Thanksgiving~"
Thus, by mid-May 1868, the entire population of Central America knew about Tom Smith's contribution to Texas.
It can be said that with the multi-faceted efforts of the heroine company and the Smith family,
Now all Texans and the people of the Second Mexican Empire have imperceptibly acquiesced to the fact that they would not have a job without Tom Smith.
But to be honest, for all the employees of Texas and Mexico's Second Empire, Tom Smith's salary is not as good as that of Yankees and Europeans, except that they did not lose their jobs in this economic crisis.
You know, before the economic crisis, the Yankees were okay, and the factory products of the Europeans had begun to rely on the living expenses of their employees to consume.
In the core industrial areas of the British and French countries, the domestic domestic demand market is already an inseparable market to maintain the operation of the factory.
On the other hand, Tom Smith's Texas and the Smith factory area in the Second Mexican Empire,
All of the production was used to help the Smith family earn gold and silver before the crisis, and after the crisis, all the success of production was used to lay infrastructure and expand factories.
As the Smith factory area reformed the wages of employees into bills for various necessities of life,
The employees of the Smith factory no longer have any funds for any other activities other than to eat, drink, and laze every day.
Smith employees, who used to be employees in other regions, were still working in Yankee or Europeans, and occasionally relied on the pennies they found every day to spend a month or two on their jobs.
But nowadays, a day without work is a day without food.
The only supplies at the disposal of these employees are their own clothes and rationed food.
The only reason the employees at the Smith Facility, who don't have any disposable income, can keep doing it is because of their survival instincts.
For serfs who fled from East Asia, Ireland, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe,
The eighteen-hour day, year-round work at the Smith factory was in some ways better than the starvation of death in their hometown.
But for Smith employees who used to be employees of factories in other regions, the Smith factory area is a devil's cave.
A devil's cave where the average life expectancy of an employee is less than twenty-five years old.
It only takes three years for a sixteen-year-old spiritual guy to become a white-haired old man's cave.
It's just that Tom has long been prepared for how to deal with the development of the situation to the point that the employees will take the initiative to stop work, and here will press the table first, and wait for the employees to be deceived by the false and beautiful employee life promoted by foreign forces, and take the initiative to stop work, Tom will use that plan again.
In short, this series of propaganda arranged by Tom also alarmed the diplomatic delegations of various countries in Houston, but Tom had promised them that he would give them a satisfactory answer in early June, so they did not rush to "force the palace" directly to Tom
They chose an indirect way to blackmail Tom Smith, that is, the United States of America first issued a statement on the reduction of tariffs on arms products, and then European countries increased arms exports to the United States of America.
They also told Tom that they had redeployed troops and increased the garrison of the colonies near Central America.
It has only been less than a month since they asked for food, and even if the United States of America and European countries sign arms purchase agreements, just one month will not be enough for transportation.
The expeditionary reservists of various countries in Europe are also waiting for the right reality before embarking on the expeditionary ships.
This series of actions of the Europeans is equivalent to saying to Tom: if Tom does not give them a satisfactory answer at the beginning of June, they will really go on the expedition.
Tom, on May 24, 1868, summoned the diplomatic representatives of various countries.
While Tom summoned diplomatic representatives from various countries, Smith distributed a ballot to all employees — a ballot for Texas to secede from the United States of America and form the American Empire.
The option for this ballot is relatively simple, and there is only one option – to elect Tom Smith as the eternal emperor of the American and Mexican peoples.
There is no objection option, only consent.
Voting closes on June 1.
As of June 1, those who have not voted will be considered abstainers.
All abstainers will be deemed to have cast their yes vote by default.
The vigorous election campaign was quietly launched in Texas and Mexico
Tom could already foresee himself being elected Emperor of the United States and Emperor of Mexico with a 100 percent approval rate in Texas and Mexico.
