v3 Chapter 380: Lincoln is assassinated, Andrew succeeds

The commuter guard went for a drink, and the lock on the box wasn't locked, no, he saw it, it was broken, God, is this a godsend, and Lincoln deserved to be killed by him?

This provided John Wilkes Booth with the convenience of stabbing-kill, and even John Wilkes Booth wondered if this was already arranged by Frank, or why would it be so convenient to let him Into Lincoln's box.

The negligence of the guards, the policeman's AWOL, and the failure of the door lock, these three major mistakes allowed John Wilkes Booth to enter President Lincoln's box smoothly.

After entering the box, looking at the newspapers and seeing familiar faces every day, in Lincoln's accident, John Wilkes Booth took out the gun hidden behind his back, and Mary Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln, was so surprised that she didn't respond. In the frightened expression, he aimed the muzzle at Lincoln's, and the sinful bullet shot between President Lincoln's left ear and back crest. Although the audience exceeded more than a thousand, at the moment of the tragedy, it was a small number. Gunshots were heard because John Wilkes Booth chose to shoot during the climax of the play, when the audience was watching the show.

The gunshots were mixed with applause and laughter from the audience, making it difficult to identify.

After completing the assassination-killing mission, John Wilkes Booth jumped from the box to the stage, turned around and shouted to the audience: "This is the end of all tyrants, long live the great Prussians"

It all happened so quickly and suddenly that the audience didn't even know if it was a drama or reality, everyone was stunned, and John Wilkes Booth took this opportunity to escape.

However, with the screams of panic coming from the box, the people recognized that it was President Lincoln's box!

As the police rushed in frantically, Lincoln, covered in blood, was finally carried away by the medical stretcher. Although he was still breathing depending on the situation, the frequency seemed to be that there was more air out than air in. Frank next to him smiled.

That night, Washington banned the closure of the city and searched for the murderer, but also to maintain law and order.

For everyone who spent the night in tension, the next morning, bad news broke that President Lincoln closed his eyes forever in a private apartment near the theater.

The fact that Lincoln was assassinated and was successfully stabbed to death caused a huge shock at home and abroad in the Commonwealth of Millikin. Lincoln's death made the people of the Commonwealth of Millikin grieve endlessly.

"President Lincoln is likened to the captain of the great ship of the Commonwealth of Millikin. He is apt and worthy of his name. He led the Commonwealth of the Union at a critical moment in the life-and-death battle between the free labor system and the slave-slavery system of the Commonwealth of America. It was a war to maintain progress and unity. Although the South finally became independent, the North was reborn because of this, calmed the internal chaos in the North, eliminated the slave-slave-system in the North, and established the development of the United States of America. Immortal feat, and the Netherlands has lost a very good partner" - William IV of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

William IV's remarks immediately won the gratitude of the people of the United States of America.

Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom also stood up and said: "His personality charm is shining, he is firm-willed, studious, humble and honest, his words are beautiful, he is eloquent, witty and brave, he loves the people, respects justice, and is self-denying. An approachable man, who led the Commonwealth of Millikin on a prosperous path, and regrets his passing, Britain has lost a worthy adversary."

"Lincoln was a great man and a monument, and in the history of the Commonwealth of America, his contribution was comparable to that of George Washington, the founder of the United States of America." --Senator and Vice President Andrew Johnson.

After Lincoln was assassinated, Vice President Andrew Johnson was sworn in as president on the same day. Andrew Johnson was one of the opponents of Lincoln's policy. Although he disagreed with Lincoln, it did not prevent him from succeeding as the first heir to the president.

The first thing Andrew Johnson did after he took over as president was to issue a warrant to track down the killer who assassinated Lincoln.

By this time, the Prussians and some of the Germans were in danger, and they found that they seemed to be suspected murderers.

Even for this, no one wants to march on the streets, and it is clear that the development of the situation shocked them.

On the contrary, it is the Irish who will be demonstrating here. You must know that there are more than 6 million Irish people in the Commonwealth of America, accounting for more than a quarter of the population of more than 23 million in the Commonwealth of America.

This force is more than half that of Germans including Prussia, and their influence is terrifying. In front of them, Germans feel the pressure.

It seems that hatred is spreading between the two ethnic groups.

Many people of German descent, especially those of German descent who had not participated in the parade before, complained about it.

They wished that Andrew Johnson, who had just succeeded the president, would quickly capture the murderer in order to return their innocence.

Kingdom of Prussia, Berlin.

Opposite Bismarck sat William I and Crown Prince Moltke and Frederick.

"I didn't expect it to happen to this point, Lincoln was stabbed, long live the great Prussians" Bismarck had a headache.

"This sentence made the Prussians put a handful of yellow mud on their crotch, not **** or shit."

Bismarck's words didn't make everyone else nodded.

Crown Prince Frederick said with great concern: "The current situation is very unfavorable for Prussia. The great Prussian long live has already stated that the Prussians are the biggest culprit suspects. In any case, the Prussians have become the most important culprits in the United States of America. Unpopular races, how can we help them"

Mao Qi, the chief of the general staff, could no longer remain calm at this moment, and said: "You must know that there are more than 1.3 million Prussians living there, accounting for about one-third of the entire German population."

Only William I remained calm~lightnovelpub.net~ But his frowning movement betrayed his inner peace.

Bismarck has always been unpredictable, and William I trusted him, and the two had a tacit understanding for more than a day or two.

Sure enough, after a pause, Bismarck said a little harshly: "In the past, Andrew deliberately distinguished the Germans, so that the Prussians became the objects that many Germans distanced themselves from. Now the Prussians have become the biggest suspects of the murders. Obviously, Milley The situation in the Confederate States is now unfavorable to the Prussians, so in order to improve their living environment, we are not helpless.”

"What way?" Crown Prince Frederick couldn't bear to ask eagerly.

"His Royal Highness should remember that when the Netherlands was in South Africa, how did the Dutch help the Dutch when the British Empire used hundreds of thousands of troops to help South Africa, making it difficult for the Dutch Boers to win?"

Crown Prince Frederick: "Negotiate with the UK, transfer the South African Boer land in exchange for benefits, and get the Australian mainland"

Crown Prince Frederick was very envious of the Netherlands' acquisition of mainland Australia. He even complained that his mother-in-law, Queen Victoria, was too generous, and New Zealand should be able to deal with the Netherlands.

Even if it is replaced, it should be with Prussia, and even his son-in-law can push Prussia to transfer Namisia in northwestern South Africa to Britain, and enhance the British presence in southern Africa.

Bismarck nodded first, then shook his head again, and said, "Actually, that's just one of the important purposes of the Netherlands. Another purpose of the Netherlands is that the wise William IV paid more attention to the population problem of the Netherlands. The 40,000 to 500,000 Dutch people in South Africa, It was William IV who valued the most, after all, the short population of the Netherlands caused the Netherlands to develop into a powerful country."

Crown Prince Frederick's eyes lit up, "The Prime Minister means, we can also put Prussia in the Commonwealth of Millikin..."
