Chapter 709 The Shocked Lincoln (First update, please subscribe)
What does Daming look like?
Daming in the eyes of Americans must be completely different from that of Daming people.

Deming, for almost all Americans, has all kinds of imaginations, but in the eyes of most Americans, Deming is a dragon with teeth and claws.

They once brutally interfered in the American Civil War and imported a large amount of arms to the South.It is their brutal interference that not only plunged the United States into a political division.And it also caused millions of Americans to die on the battlefield!

"Every American soldier who died in the Civil War had a Ming-made bullet in their body."

Their fleet bombarded Los Angeles brutally, injuring thousands of people.Hundreds of people were also arrested by them for no reason, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

It is always a word, now in the eyes of all Americans, Daming is such an evil dragon with teeth and claws!

Now it can be said that it is the kind that does all kinds of evil.

What is more frightening?It is this evil dragon that may invade the United States at any time and turn Americans into their slaves!

In the past few years, almost all Americans have been demonizing Daming. For Americans, to a certain extent, Ming is even a more terrifying and realistic opponent than Britain.

Not an opponent, but an enemy.

When did it all start?

Is it from the "LA Incident"?

Of course not, starting from the Los Angeles incident, the hostility towards Ming began in the Lincoln era, when he faced defeat on the battlefield and election defeat.Senior officials of the Lincoln government once criticized Nanhua in various languages, and since then, Nanhua seems to have become the mastermind behind the division of the United States.

Even for Lincoln, the former U.S. president who lost the presidential election in 1864, after losing the election, he once reflected on the division of the United States, on the one hand because of his eagerness for quick success, and on the other hand?Of course, it is because of the interference of countries including Nanhua.

"Their savage intervention has led to the division of the United States."

This was what Lincoln said many years ago. Of course, what he targeted was not limited to Daming.As the former president of the United States, although he was extremely angry at Ming's brutal interference in internal affairs, he was also curious. After all, in the past ten years, the achievements of this empire in all aspects were extremely amazing.

Although he is very curious about Deming, Lincoln has never had the opportunity to visit Deming. Until now—a few months ago, when Lincoln was in California, he accepted the commission of a local non-governmental organization and went to Deming to discuss the issue of "Los Angeles Prisoners" with Deming. Negotiate for their early release.

So Lincoln came to Daming on this day, and like many people who had just arrived in Daming, he was stunned the moment he got off the boat.

What kind of city was presented before his eyes?

Just in a moment of land, he suddenly understood.Why did the French writer Jules Verne swear that this is the future, and this is indeed the future.

It's not just because of the trams on the road, nor the towering high-rise buildings on the side of the road.It's because everything in front of his eyes symbolizes the future.

Here, he can't see the running horse-drawn carriage, only the "jingling" bicycles passing by quickly, the trams on the street with crisp bells, passing back and forth, cars, the kind of millionaire's toy vehicles, are also in his sights. He kept driving past in front of his eyes, looked up, and the street shadow was reflected on the glass of the building.

What appeared in front of his eyes was not just a bustling city, nor a city that surprised everyone with its rapid development.

"my Lord!"

Lincoln suddenly said in surprise.

"Everything here is beyond our imagination."

"Yes, sir, apart from our animosity, everything here is amazing."

Secretary Henry, who was with him, also praised the city in an admiring tone.

"The people here are more civilized and educated. It seems that anyone who comes here will be impressed by it."

Walking on the road paved with black asphalt gravel, Lincoln and his party felt more shocked.This is an extremely prosperous city. The city is full of exotic-looking buildings. Apart from high-rise buildings, there are many buildings. They have seen from other people's travel notes that those buildings in the garden, It is a part of Daming people's life - the community.The community is a part of the garden. Many people, especially the workers, live in the community. Without exception, the people there have a peaceful and happy smile on their faces. They are satisfied with their current life.

"Everyone of them is very happy!"

What impressed you the most in Linhai Lincoln after arriving in Daming?

That is, everyone he saw seemed to be very happy.

This is not only an extremely prosperous city, but more importantly, people here are happy. It is completely different from those in American cities, not only because their living environment is better.More importantly, the future seems to be full of hope for each of them.

"hope……"

On the way to Linhai Industrial Zone in a rented car, Lincoln suddenly understood why he felt that the people here were different from Americans.

No, each of them is full of hope and happiness from the bottom of their hearts. This feeling is the biggest difference between the people of the two countries.

When they came to the industrial area, they finally felt the atmosphere of modern industrial civilization. Even in the car, they could see a large number of chimneys here, and those chimneys that were tens of meters high were emitting black and white smoke.

There is a smell of industrial civilization in the air, which is the smell of bituminous coal. Although the sea breeze has blown away a lot, this faint smell seems to remind him that this is the largest industrial center on the Pacific coast.

"Sir, look..."

Henry pointed to the industrial area in front of them, and said in an admiring tone.

"It's different from our wild west. Here they have thousands of factories and hundreds of thousands of people work in the factories. As God can testify, this city has only been established for thirteen years, sir..."

Turning his head to look at Lincoln, Henry said in an extremely heavy tone.

"Many people say, go to war with Ming Dynasty. This country is the greatest enemy of the United States and the greatest threat to the United States now and in the future, but Mr. President, look..."

Pointing to the chimney in the distance, Henry's tone was serious and serious.

"Look at the chimneys here. What shall we use to fight them? Just count the number of chimneys, and the outcome of the war will be clear."

Looking at the extremely prosperous industrial area in front of him, Lincoln nodded.He had seen such an industrial zone in the east, but in the west.

There is very little industry to speak of in the American West, where everything is brought in from the East.

Under such circumstances, how could the United States wage a war with Ming on the west coast?
Even if there is a war, who will be the ultimate loser?
Although he didn't want to admit it, Lincoln's heart was full of worries, because he knew very well that the United States was preparing for a war with Ming Dynasty.

Just in the West where there's nothing!

"You can't say that, Mr. Henry, at least our east is prosperous, and there are many factories in our east."

Followed by California Senator John said with a smile.

"And, one day in the future, California will also have a large number of factories, as long as our city is as huge as this city!"

When he said these words, John's tone was full of envy.Why is he so envious?It is because he knows very well that this city is called the most prosperous city on the west coast of the American continent.

This is a modern city with a population of 130 million. In terms of city size, only New York can be compared with it in the United States.

But there is only one New York City in the United States, and there are as many as three such prosperous cities in the Ming Empire.

"Mr. John, haven't you discovered it yet? The difference between us and them is not just these places..."

Henry's finger pointed to those factories, and then to the workers.

"The real difference between us and them is here, and here they are happy!"
