Salmon Portland Chase, the governor of Ohio, was extremely concerned about his daughter's marriage. His daughter was born with beautiful appearance, elegant manners, and decent words. She could tell all the famous mountains and rivers in Europe. Such a woman must find a husband from a famous family, and she should be the one who deserves it.

So, when his daughter told herself that she had found someone she liked and loved her very much, and loved her so much that she loved her, Salmon Chase firmly disagreed, but when Mr. Chase met his daughter's 'love', he agreed!

This is too strange, isn't it?

Because Fiona's "lover" is a Chinese, Clint Lee, Li Mengyang, didn't Salmon Chase hope that his daughter could marry a descendant of a famous family?

Mr. Chase took a fancy to Clint Lee. The first one is that Clint Lee is now a famous person and an important figure in the American cultural circle. If his daughter can marry this person, it will be of great benefit to the Chase family.

In addition, Clint Lee is not only a famous writer, but also a newspaper tycoon and a media tycoon!

This latter point is what Salmon Chase values ​​most, because he mastered the newspaper, the largest newspaper in the United States, which is of great benefit to Mr. Chase now. He wants to run for president!

1860 is the year of the US election, and this year's US election has extremely important significance. All Americans know that the Northern Free State and the Southern Slave State have reached an irreconcilable level, and the entire country is about to face division. Therefore, this year's election is the election that determines the direction of the entire country!

Although many Americans today don’t have much experience with the concept of a country, for example, in the west, people there feel that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, as for the central part, it’s almost the same, let alone the south. However, now, after all, in name, everyone belongs to the same country.

Therefore, this year's presidential election is of great significance and countless people are staring at it.

The Republican Party has grown up now. After absorbing the "Nothing Party" and many former Democratic Party members, this party can compete with the Democratic Party. What's more interesting is that there is a division within the Democratic Party.

Of course, the Democratic Party is still the same party in name, but now, the Democratic Party has clearly appeared the Southern and Northern factions.

The Southern faction naturally maintained slavery, and even wanted to leave the Federation, while the North actually had to take a neutral route.

This neutral route is the route of the current President Buchanan, which means that he still hopes to maintain the status quo of the United States and that everyone will not be divided... However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no room for compromise in the north and the south, so the Democratic Party in the north is not popular.

But their candidate is very well-known, Stephen A. Douglas. In fact, his political capital is very strong, but now it is different.

In this case, the Republican internal elections become very important, because it is almost certain that the Republican presidential candidate will definitely receive most of the support from the North.

Salmon Chase is one of the five Republican candidates. All he has to do now is to defeat other opponents, but he is unsure, otherwise he would not agree to his daughter dating a Chinese.

Why not know what?

Because Mr. Chase was a Democrat before, that is, he was a traitor himself. In addition, his Ohio State was not as powerful as other northern states, so he naturally did not take advantage, and Pennsians hated him very much.

Who are the other candidates?

They are William Sward from New York. This guy is very powerful. His supporters are still the Republican funder. However, his abolitionist view is too extreme, and Republicans are afraid of it themselves. In addition, former Rep. Edward Best, this fool, actually supports slavery, and German immigrants hate him very much. You should know that there are a large number of German immigrants in the north of the United States, such as Milwaukee in Wisconsin, which is full of German buildings, so this guy is not worth worrying about.

The one who has the strength is Simon Cameron from Pennsylvania. This person is very smart, but he also has shortcomings. I heard that his character is very bad.

In addition, that is something that many people don’t like, Lincoln from Illinois!

Lincoln did not have much reputation in politics at this time. The only thing worthy of a big deal was that he lost the "little giant" Douglas in the 1858 Senate election in Illinois. Although he lost in that game, he did not lose much, which made many Republicans see hope, so he nominated Lincoln.

Lincoln has the advantage in the west, and he will definitely get the tickets from Illinois, so there is no problem with the tickets from the west. You should know that everyone else is too eastern.

Chase thinks Lincoln should be his biggest opponent, hey~ How great would it be if he didn't rush to join the Democratic Party back then?

The reason why Li Mengyang came to Chicago was basically because he was watching the fun. On the one hand, he knew that this Republican convention was very important in history, and on the other hand, it was because Fiona had to follow her father.

Look, this is my daughter... Mr. Chase has always liked to sell his daughter to others. Even if his daughter says she has found true love, he thinks it is better to have one more choice. Besides, that guy is a Chinese.

That's right, although Mr. Chase wants to take advantage of Li Mengyang, he still looks down on the Chinese in his heart.

So Li Mengyang followed him, and in fact, his identity as a "boyfriend" was also forced!

"Be my boyfriend! Or I'll tell others that you, Clint Lee, is the thief Clint Eastwood!"

This is Fiona's threat to Li Mengyang after meeting Thoreau. As for why she is like this, the reason is also very interesting.

On the one hand, she was tired of being 'exhibition' everywhere, on the other hand, she liked Clint Lee's articles very much, and one thing was.

"We can be a fake couple." Yes, fake, fake.

"Don't you think your request is too much?" Li Mengyang refused at first, just like his elder brother Long.

"Not too much, is my beauty not worthy of you?" Fiona might not have much confidence in other things, but she is about her appearance.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Li Mengyang's face was full of fierceness at that time. He had blood on his hands. When this momentum was taken out, it was really scary!

Fiona was really careful at that time, but, "I am the daughter of the governor of Ohio. Mr. Thoreau saw us together just now. If you kill me, aren't you afraid of more trouble?"

Yes, he is also a celebrity. If he really kills her, he will make more efforts afterwards. Li Mengyang actually understands this truth, and he is just scaring this beauty.

"Fake?"

“Yes, fake.”

So, Li Mengyang, namely Clint Lee, had another new title, that is, the boyfriend of the No. 1 beauty in Washington.

You know, just this matter soon became the headlines of major newspapers. In this era, there were few celebrities and some other gossips. There was a big celebrity and a romantic event. That was not the whole big news, I was too sorry for the reporters.

Li Mengyang is still the same principle. His photos are not published, while Fiona is also low-key. This pair of topics...that will be more.

But these are not important now, the most important thing is the candidate issue.

"Those bastards!"

"Arguing! Arguing! Continuous quarrel! There are people who support slavery?! It's so funny!"

"That guy Lincoln is also smooth! His attitude is simply swaying! It's okay to say that slavery will not be abolished! It's also said that slavery is a sin! Which side is this guy from?!"

In a high-end hotel in Chicago, Salmon Chase was roaring loudly there, and it was his daughter and his future son-in-law who were listening to the teachings.

Li Mengyang did not interrupt. When he first saw this old "salmon" (salmon touching n meaning "salmon"), he felt a strange feeling. This guy looked very much like the crazy Doctor in "Back to the Future", and the bald areas were the same. It is hard to imagine that this guy could have a beautiful daughter like Fiona.

Needless to say, Mr. Chase was venting at this time. He must have endured a lot during the meeting. We don’t know the specifics, but the current situation... Li Mengyang and Fiona are both very smart. You can listen at this time and don’t say anything.

Listening is sometimes a skill...

"Master, there is a man named David Davis to see you."

"David Davis?...nexpected!"

"Master, he said that he is Mr. Lincoln's campaign manager."

"Lincoln?"

The old servant's words made Mr. Chase fall into deep thought, because he couldn't understand what Lincoln's campaign manager came to him for?

At this time, Li Mengyang found it very interesting because he hadn't seen Lincoln before, so he said, "Uncle, you might as well meet him and listen to what he said."

In fact, what Li Mengyang thought was that maybe he could meet Lincoln like this. No matter what, he was also a big man who left his name in history, and he would not meet the living Lincoln?

"Okay! Let him come in!"

"yes."

Not long after the servant went out, he brought in a middle-aged man. Li Mengyang saw that this man was very capable and had a very lively look.

"Hello, Mr. Chase!"

"Hello Mr. Davis!"

"this……"

"Oh, this is the little girl, this is Mr. Clint Lee..."

"Oh, it turns out to be the famous Mr. Clint Lee! Lucky to meet!"

The two sides exchanged greetings, but there was no actual content. Instead, Li Mengyang, a famous person, made Salmon Chase's face shine.

But soon.

"Mr. Chase, I'm here to say something important this time." Davis looked at Fiona and Clint Lee.

"Mr. Davis, it doesn't matter. Just say that, there are no outsiders here." Chase naturally understood what he meant, but he didn't think there was any problem.

Davis hesitated for a moment, but he nodded, "Okay, I'll just say..."

What exactly is Davis going to say?
