Act 222 Lincoln's Election and the Ideological Struggle(1/2)
"Story of Surprise", "Fantasy", "Rampant".
These three fictional story magazines began to be distributed in the northern part of the United States.
Before this, the United States was not without novels, but those novels were published in newspapers. There was no fixed publishing time or fixed page, and it was gone after reading them.
These three magazines appear on the market with a fixed number of pages and a fixed time.
Gradually, a stable group of readers has been cultivated.
Moreover, these three magazines, "Story of Surprise", "Fantasy", and "Rampant" gradually began to have their own differences from the other two magazines.
"Story of Marvel" is gradually becoming suspenseful and weird, while "Fantasy" is becoming more fantasy. Although "Rampant" is still science fiction, the content of hard science fiction is gradually decreasing, and the focus is more on people themselves.
Of course, the sales growth of these three magazines from 10,000 to 100,000 copies is certainly worth celebrating.
But, there is nothing else to celebrate!
It was Lincoln who was elected President of the United States!
The average life expectancy in the United States will never be top-notch in its contemporaries.
Lincoln, who was elected, was not a young man to some extent.
However, it is precisely because of his maturity and stability, and Doug's promotion that he not only led the way in the democratic election stage, but also reached a compromise and agreement with the vast majority of interest groups in the final exchange of interests, and finally gained the position of US president.
Doug also left the city of New Haven and headed to Washington, D.C., the location of the U.S. federal government.
Although, in summer, it looks green here, not only blue sky and white clouds, but also rivers pass by.
However, this place is by no means the capital of a country.
Why?
Because there are too few people here.
Even if the relevant government functional departments are included, it seems that the size of a small town is probably not more than 200,000.
But this is the capital of the United States.
The capital of the United States, which was spun off from New York.
Lincoln's election, Lincoln's appointment, and the resignation of the previous president.
This town, which is usually the only politicians and related companies, has changed and energetic.
All kinds of people came from all directions and felt this small town.
For a moment, the hotels here were all filled with people.
Although Doug had his own house in Washington, he did not live there, but instead crowded in a hotel like everyone else.
Therefore, in a sense, the people who can come to Washington now are all "people".
They are all people who support Lincoln.
As for those who support other candidates, they can only accept the loss and seek to turn the tables in the next presidential election.
And now, these "our own people" gather together, in addition to congratulating Lincoln on his election, there is another meaning.
It is just waiting to share the benefits you will gain.
The election of any president has never been a matter of this person.
But the unyielding line struggle again and again.
The line struggle is victorious, and the winner of course has to share the fruits of victory.
Of course, for different people, the benefits they need are different.
Just like Doug, he would never do it if he had him serve as a member of Lincoln's cabinet.
However, there are countless people fighting for this position that he doesn't like.
As for what Doug most hopes to get, of course, is the "central bank".
However, in this current state, it is not something that can be owned immediately.
Because, judging from the current situation, although the US economy is stable and narrowing slowly, there is no reason to monopolize the central bank's monetary currency issuance rights.
Not to mention, this central bank is not a government organization, but an organization controlled by Doug.
Doug knew this, so he was not as impatient as others.
His daily life in Washington is to communicate and communicate with one industry leader after another.
Even if it is useless now, there will be areas for cooperation in the future.
Doug, however, was treated in various ways because of the Bank of America and the American Press Group he owned.
Because, in this Lincoln election, they have seen the tremendous power contained in these two organizations.
Funds and public opinion.
These are two weapons with great power.
But Doug Clayden has it all.
Originally, those closed towns may not know about the presidential election and the presidential election.
Even on the day of the vote, there were very few people.
However, after the publicity of the American Press Group.
These originally blank areas have become areas that support Lincoln.
Lincoln's large amount of support comes from these once neglected places.
And people in these places are not even very clear about the significance of the presidential election.
They only know that Lincoln is an excellent person, and choosing such an excellent person is more reliable than choosing someone else who has never heard of.
They didn't pay attention when they thought about this, and they had become advertisers of the American Press Group.
Perhaps some people expect to buy the advertisement after watching it in this second.
However, more often, the function of advertising is only to let you know that there is such a thing that makes you more inclined to buy advertising products when facing similar products.
In this presidential election, Lincoln was the commodities that were advertised.
The most important thing is that the overwhelming publicity of Lincoln did not cause much disgust.
Why?
Because, advertisements for Lincoln are centered on stories.
And the core of these little stories is "political correctness" to a certain extent.
It is some beautiful qualities that people generally desire.
For example, Lincoln has run for president for the tenth time, so he has the excellent qualities of perseverance.
For example, Lincoln was so kind that he helped many people in need when he was most distressed.
No matter who it is, there is something soft inside.
For some excellent qualities that they want to have, although they cannot do it, they always want to have.
Lincoln was shaped by Doug into such a collection of excellent qualities.
As long as it is covered by the US newspaper group, no one can defeat Lincoln.
Of course, this is mainly the situation in the north.
The south is relatively subtle.
The business expansion of the US Press Group and Bank of America there is like all other northern industries, which is difficult and extremely difficult.
Why is this happening?
The reason is very simple.
It is because the north of the United States is not the main trading target of the south of the United States.
The main trading target in the south was the British Empire.
Therefore, the British Bahrain Bank is the favorite bank of southern slave owners.
Therefore, American customs and habits are very popular here.
Even newspapers, the people here prefer to read British newspapers that have long lost their timeliness.
Instead of the so-called American newspaper group newspapers.
The only thing that may be a little more penetrating.
There are only three magazines, "Story of Surprise", "Fantasy", and "Rampant Thoughts".
However, although these three magazines are circulated among young people in the south, when their elders see them, they will tear them up without hesitation.
Why?
Because there are some things inside, it seems too dangerous to the elders.
Among them, the most dangerous one is the so-called robot liberation.
