Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 133: Will I be able to survive?
Subtitle of this chapter: The historical truth is terrifying when you think about it!
"Boss, the White House is more beautiful and elegant than I imagined..."
"Boss, Mr. President is even more handsome and approachable than I thought..."
"Boss, the President's wife is even more... well, majestic than I thought!"
"BOSS...why aren't you talking?" The chattering Miss Moman finally realized that something was wrong with her BOSS.
In fact, our Master Yuan did not become silent until he got in the car. He seemed a little absent-minded before dinner just now, and now after leaving the White House and getting in the car, he didn't say a word.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
"Second Master, we're here." Condor arrived at the Rosewood Hotel in a rented car.
"Hmm..." Yuan Yan responded casually, but made an important decision in her heart.
"Ai Si, you go up first." He sent away his female secretary and walked to the window of the driver's seat.
Master Yuan said seriously, "Xiao Kang, I have something to ask of you. This matter is of great importance, and I can only rely on you."
His driver also said with a straight face: "Don't worry, Master. I will live up to your trust."
"That's good..." Yuan Yan nodded and lowered her voice and said, "Xiaokang, drive to the train station right now and return to New York as soon as possible to find Wen Jinxiu..."
"Dr. Wen?! Second Master, what do you want to see him for?"
"Xiaokang, go tell him to get there as soon as possible... No, buy the earliest train ticket to the West Coast... No, there's no insurance in the United States yet... Let him buy the earliest boat ticket to Europe!"
"Europa..."
"That's right. You must not only notify him but also keep an eye on him until he gets on board. If this guy asks for money, give him a few hundred dollars as travel expenses. And tell him that I will meet him in Europe. Do you understand?"
"Second Master, I understand!"
"Well, go now. Go quickly and come back soon!"
"Yes, Master."
Kang Erduo nodded heavily , started the car and drove away.
“Snap!”
Yuan Yan suddenly lit a cigar and didn't even go into the hotel. She thought about her own thoughts at the door...
You know, being the president of the United States is a high-risk job. Four of the 45 presidents from Washington to Kennedy died from assassinations!
They were Lincoln in 1865, Garfield in 1881, McKinley in 1901, and Kennedy in 1963. We can also add Reagan, who almost died in 1981.
There is no need to say much about the 16th Lincoln and the 35th Kennedy.
The 20th president, James Abram Garfield of the Republican Party, was killed by a man who failed to get a job. In fact, it was the strife caused by the uneven distribution of interests within the Republican Party. Coincidentally, the Secretary of Defense at the time was Lincoln's son, who was also at the scene of the assassination.
William McKinley, the 25th president of the Republican Party, was killed by an anarchist. He was nicknamed "the handshake president" because he was said to be one of the best politicians at shaking hands, shaking hands 50 times per minute. So he was shot twice while shaking hands.
In fact, the first attempt to assassinate the president took place in 1835. A painter shot President Andrew Jackson twice outside the Capitol. Jackson, who was a soldier, was nicknamed "Old Walnut" and was known for his bravery. When the president saw the gunman, he rushed forward and beat the murderer severely with his cane. Later, the assassin was diagnosed with mental illness and was put in the hospital.
The nearly 10% mortality rate of American presidents is higher than that of frontline soldiers in the Normandy Landings.
By the way, our Master Yuan had a good dinner in the White House, why would he consider such a "treasonous" thing?
Because Warren Gamelier Harding was probably also assassinated. But unlike the other four colleagues who died by gunfire, he was poisoned!
In the original timeline, after the Teapot Dome scandal was exposed by Under Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in 1923, more news unfavorable to the Harding administration and himself broke out in the public opinion.
I'm not defending this guy, but I'm afraid he really doesn't know about these things. He once cried about this and said that he didn't let his friends down, but it was his friends who let him down... Well, this makes the commander-in-chief even more incompetent.
Anyway, from then on, his original perfect image of "natural nobleman" and "uncle next door" completely collapsed.
In order to save his political reputation and gain the public's understanding of his administration, he made a cross-country "tour of understanding" from June. Harding originally planned to tour Alaska and the western states.
But President Harding was really exhausted after making dozens of public appearances since the start of his journey .
On July 27, he felt severe abdominal pain, and the doctor diagnosed it as mild food poisoning. So he gave up his original plan and went to San Francisco to rest. But two days later, his condition developed into acute pneumonia. After taking medicine, his high fever subsided, but he suffered a stroke soon after.
Finally, he died of illness on August 2, 1923 at the Royal Hotel in San Francisco.
However, there was something strange about his case. It was a rare case for food poisoning to develop into acute pneumonia and finally into a stroke.
So seven years later, someone published "The Strange Death of President Harding", which believed that Mrs. Harding poisoned her husband because of long-term family conflicts caused by her hatred of his infidelity.
And the first lady did refuse doctors to perform an autopsy on her husband.
But! But! But! You really can’t think too much about the things in this world. If you do, it will be really scary.
In fact, the Republicans .
If Mrs. Harding poisoned her husband because he cheated on her, she could have done it long ago. Harding had been cheating on her for decades, not just one or two times, and not just one or two times, but many times.
What Chucks heard was that among Harding's mistresses there was a suspected "German spy", Carrie Phillips.
Harding and Phillips' affair began as early as the summer of 1905. In an effort to separate the two, Phillips' husband took her to Europe, where she became very pro-German.
According to declassified documents, Phillips, who had returned from Germany in 1917, used their secret love as leverage to threaten Harding, a congressman, to veto the resolution declaring war on Germany, but Harding did not comply. However, Phillips did not report or end their secret love.
That same year, Phillips went on vacation to Long Island, the gathering point for U.S. troops heading to the western front, and leaked the military secrets she had obtained to a German spy organization hidden in New York.
After Harding became a presidential candidate, Phillips refused to break up with Harding, and the Republican Party had to give her a large sum of money to go on vacation to Japan and promised to pay her a "pension" every year.
Mrs. Harding was naturally aware of this matter.
So the question is, Florence has endured it for so many years, why would she kill her husband at this time?
From the perspective of criminal investigation, the biggest suspect in a homicide case is the person who stands to gain the most from it.
So who benefits most from Harding’s death?
Is there any need to ask? The answer is, of course, to put all the blame on Harding, and let this scapegoat dissipate the resentment of American voters. After that, the Republican Party won three consecutive presidency!
