Chapter 123: Do You Say I'm the Emperor?

After more than a year, Tom finally said goodbye to Susan and Yin Lisabeth and others.

The last time we met, it was the last time.

Tom needs these human rights fighter energies to help himself,

The human rights activists were grateful to Tom for giving them a job that paid men and women equally.

Although the work given to them by Tom is only a use of the benefits far outweighs the expenses, but for these human rights fighters who have been hoping for equal rights for men and women all year round.

Tom's job is a hope,

A hope to see that equal rights for men and women is a real reality.

In the eyes of the most loyal human rights fighters of the women's liberation movement, men and women were paid equally for equal work, and then women relied on their economic status to gain a voice.

In the end, they can achieve true equality between men and women, which is their ultimate goal - to give women the right to vote in the presidential election of the United States.

Now how simple are the thoughts of these human rights fighters, they just want the vast number of women to get out of the miserable status of male vassals,

Just want women to get some insignificant, minimal, minimum standard of political discourse - the right to vote,

Susan and Elizabeth Yin have always had a stable correspondence with Tom.

But they both had a question in their hearts that was not appropriate to ask Tom in a letter.

That is, has Tom, the "human rights pioneer" in their minds, become the emperor in the United States, a free country with equal human rights?

But all the crew members of the enthronement ceremony of Tom the Great are very outrageous rumors,

Either God crowned Tom, or Mary crowned Tom,

Although the European nobles and former European nobles they knew said that Tom ascended the throne and became the emperor of the United States, the two of them did not know Tom as a feudal dross who longed for the throne.

In short, from the perspective of the two, there has been no reliable news and reliable information to prove whether Tom has ascended the throne or not.

They were very worried that the news of Tom's proclamation was true, for fear that after Tom arrived in Texas, the place where the former feudal slavery was the biggest supporter, he would also become a "strange" ignorant feudal lord.

But seeing Tom greet them warmly at the train station, they were slightly dispelled in this regard.

But the two of them still have to ask Tom himself about the whole story.

Only when Tom himself feeds them "reassurance" can they feel at ease.

The two gave each other a color, and in front of all the human rights fighters, they asked Tom if he was the emperor of the United States:

"Tom, why did I hear you're an emperor?"

"And many European nobles I know say that you held an extremely grand enthronement ceremony, and also issued a message to the nobles of all Europe to seek the throne of the queen."

This question came from the mouths of Susan and Elizabeth Yin, but it was a question that all feminist fighters in the audience were concerned about - did Tom betray the affirmative action movement?

Tom was also ready for a long time, and the last time he met them, he used his height of more than 1.8 meters and nearly 1.9 meters, combined with the handsome face of the German water chestnut, to give them a warm smile.

With this warm smile, Tom replied to them:

"Have any of you ever heard of the aristocracy of Europe treating you great equalizers?"

"What's more, I've heard those rumors about my accession to the throne,"

"Some East Asians even rumored that I was a descendant of a missing emperor of their Sun and Moon Dynasty."

"That emperor seems to be called Zhu Yunwen or something."

"Look, do I look like an East Asian?"

"Do you think I'm the emperor?"

"Like that kind of ignorant feudal lord?"

After listening to Tom's rhetorical question, everyone also thought that Tom was not the kind of supporter of the feudal hierarchy that thought very highly of himself.

And Tom himself doesn't really care if he's really the president or the emperor.

If a person becomes an emperor but is a puppet with no real power, then does this emperor have any meaning?

For example, Rocky Smith, who is completely controlled by Tom, has no autonomy at all, and is just a person who works for Tom, but has become the governor of Texas.

Is this kind of governor really valuable?

On the other hand, Tom himself, he has long been the real emperor of Texas, is the title of emperor really needed?

In Tom's eyes, the president and the emperor are both imaginary, and only real interests can really move Tom.

At the beginning, Tom said that the emperor could paralyze and drag the old Europeans, and could destroy the alliance between the old Yankee and the old Europeans, so Tom called himself the emperor.

Now that Tom is in front of these human rights fighters, of course, it is better not to call himself emperor,

So Tom answered them in this half-joking way that was neither clear nor affirmative,

And these human rights fighters were all born into wealthy families with good backgrounds.

The childhood of these experiences is also the childhood of growing up with a golden key.

They have enough conditions to support them to go to school,

They have received elite education and like to think about the deep meaning of what others say.

Illiterate civilians who do not have the ability to think in this era may continue to ask Tom: "You just say whether you are the emperor or not." ”

And they, this is a rumor that Tom's enthronement is Tom's enemies in order to attack Tom,

They know that Texas Governor Rocky Smith is Tom Smith's cousin, and the Texas government has not expressed any position on Tom's enthronement ceremony in Texas.

Those who spread rumors about Tom the Great's accession to the throne are Tom's enemies.

They were all people who started to do propaganda for the old Yankee government during the Civil War.

They had long known what dirty Yankee Elder would do to his enemies.

Not to mention the enemy, in the Civil War, Elder Yankee even shamelessly deceived these human rights fighters and these theoretical Yankee old comrades-in-arms.

Even now, these human rights fighters remember that the old Yankee brass had promised them equal rights for women and men after victory in the war — to give women the right to vote.

The result?

After the end of the war, all the old Yankee leaders avoided talking about the issue of equal rights between men and women, and instead asked these human rights fighters to face up to the slave issue first, saying that the issue of racial discrimination is the most important issue that should be concerned now.

The Amendment to Article 15 of the Constitution of the United States of America, signed on July 28, 1868, ruthlessly shattered the illusions of these pioneers of the women's liberation movement.

Yankee never formally issues equal rights between men and women, they only care about whether they can rely on the abolition of slavery to fight the Dixies.
