Only $100?

Are inventions so cheap in New York?
It's not that inventions are worthless, but that inventions without practical value are worthless.

Are electric lights useful?

That's for sure, but what if there is no electricity?Or there is no cheap and reliable electricity supply, no reliable power switch, no safe light socket.

What is that lamp?
It's just rubbish!
Look at Henri Goebbels with his sleeves torn, how poor he is!

Simple is the kind of poverty, a middle-aged mechanic can only guard such a watch shop to make a living, and even build telescopes so that people can look at the stars to earn money.

One hundred dollars is definitely a huge sum of money for him!
It is undoubtedly a very good deal to exchange an invention of little practical value for $100.

Glancing at the astronomical telescope in the house, it occurred to him that he could build clocks and watches as well as telescopes.The company really needs a mechanic like him who is proficient in precision machinery. Although Lu Anxue is only a student and is not in charge of the company's recruitment in New York, a mechanic like him who is good at invention is what the company needs.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Lu Anxue laughed.

"Sir, if your lights can be turned on, I can introduce you to a job with a salary of at least $100 a month in addition to this $100!"

The company should need such a talent, of course, he is only responsible for recommending it, and whether he will be hired or not will naturally be decided by professional personnel.

"What? A salary of $100 a month!"

Henry Goebbels said excitedly.

"Sir, what kind of work is this?"

"A job that can give full play to your strengths, Mr. Goebbels, as long as you can show your value, your salary will definitely be more than $100, maybe more, but that job is not here."

When talking, Lu Anxue took out a business card and said.

"You can go to this South American trading company on the business card, and they will provide you with a boat ticket. Oh, by the way, that job is in South America, do you mind?"

The South American Trading Company is a company established by the Ameria Company in New York. It is not only engaged in various trades with the United States, but also responsible for the introduction of talents. Many skilled workers like Henry Goebbels are buried in the slums of New York Or engineers, as immigrants, are often buried in the slums of New York because of language, economy and other aspects.

And these buried talents are the targets introduced by the company.Sometimes the company even asks them to recommend each other.

mind?

Why should you mind?

Even Henry Goebbels has not been naturalized in the United States until now. When he was in Germany, he was a mechanic, but what about in the United States?Just a watchmaker.

Leaving here can not only get a better income, but the most important thing is dignity!He is no longer a watchmaker in the ghetto, but a mechanic, an inventor!

Two days later, after signing the contract with the South American Trading Company, Henry Goebbels was so excited that he even reached out to hail a cab—now he could be an engineer earning $100 a month!
"Well, it's time to tell everyone the good news!"

Just when Henry Goebbels proudly stopped the carriage, intending to share his success with others, a newspaper boy ran on the side of the road, shouting loudly.

"Read the paper, read the paper, look at the historic election, Lincoln lost re-election, Democrat McClellan won the election! Lincoln lost re-election..."

If it was in the past, perhaps Henry Goebbels would buy a newspaper for a few cents, but now, he doesn’t care about the president of the United States, what wars, all of which have nothing to do with him, Soon, he'll be leaving the damn country.

All this matters!

Only a few hours later, Zhu Xianhai received a telegram from Washington—Lincoln failed in the election!

"It's still defeated!"

Looking at the telegram, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

As the history books show, what helped Lincoln win McClellan was not the fact that he wanted to end slavery.In fact, in the two months leading up to the election, the Union won a major military victory by capturing Atlanta and in the Shenandoah Valley.These military victories boosted the morale of civilian and military voters.Soldiers seemed particularly appreciative of Lincoln's campaign slogan: "Don't change horses in the stream."

And now?

Starting from Gettysburg, the repeated failures not only made the officers and soldiers tired of the war, but also made people question Lincoln's ability.

The military failure directly led to the failure of Lincoln's choice. Even in order to win the election, Lincoln and his staff made most of the northern states pass new laws, allowing soldiers to vote absentee in the barracks, so that soldiers Voting, if there is a military victory, soldiers are naturally more inclined to vote for their current commander in chief.

But what about now?
The military failure makes the soldiers more inclined to replace the commander-in-chief!
"On November 11, McClellan won by a landslide. He received 8 percent of the civilian vote, 22 percent of the military vote, and 54 electoral votes in 78 states. Lincoln, by comparison, received just 162 votes..." Once again, looking at the telegram in his hand, Zhu Xianhai knew that history had undergone fundamental changes!

What did McClellan's victory mean?

It is impossible for Lincoln to continue to lead the war as he did in another world, with the goal of unifying the country and abolishing slavery, and finally winning the war.

And now?

McClellan won!

He was against the abolition of slavery!

"It's over, the North and the South will not talk about peace!"

Zhu Xianhai frowned. McClellan's election platform was to end the war through negotiation. He even said that he could give up the emancipation of the slaves in order to quell the war.

In other words, the South had no reason to fight.

What can we do now?
Thinking of the possible reunification of the United States, Zhu Xianhai frowned. Could it be that the reunification of the United States is inevitable in the end of this war?

"Will the politicians in the American South be willing to hand over power?"

Zhu Xianhai said to himself.

"Everyone, once they have tasted the temptation of power, it is impossible to give up power!"

Although I don't remember where I read this sentence, Zhu Xianhai still had a vague expectation in his heart, hoping that the politicians in the south would not give up their power and continue to maintain independence!
A divided America is a good America!

However, an America that retains slavery is actually pretty good!
