Latest website: A few days later, a memorial service for Professor Fafnir was held on the sports field of Harvard University, where the murder happened a few days ago. Many dignitaries in the United States also came to the scene, including Governor Christopher Gore, and the two senators together as members of the House of Representatives.
It is said that the organizers of the memorial service also issued an invitation to President Madison, but President Madison declined the invitation on the grounds of
heavy business
. And it is said that he not only refused the invitation, but also refused to write a eulogy for Professor Fafnir.
It is not difficult to understand that President Madison is a Virginian and a Southerner. And he was born as a large plantation owner. His family is the largest landowner in Orange County, Virginia, with more than 5,000 acres of plantations and a large number of slaves. According to Professor Fafnell's classification, he himself is a member of the typical "genocidal gang of North American slave owners."
In this war, although the United States seemed to have won, the benefits were all taken away by the Frenchmen in Louisiana. The United States’ income was actually quite limited, but the price paid was extraordinarily heavy. Therefore, President Madison's current approval rating is very problematic. The northern states naturally feel that Madison is proficient in provocations, and steals chickens and loses money. Those guys in the South also felt that Madison’s poor organization and chaotic military arrangements made them suffer a big loss.
So now in the United States, whether in the south or in the north, President Madison’s approval rating is very problematic. At this time, if he attended this memorial service, he might be able to gain the understanding of the people of the northern states. However, when the southern states have been almost overwhelmed by public opinion, he went to the icing on the cake again, and people did not see that much. grateful. In short, the income is mostly not high.
Of course, if the income is not high, the income is not high, but if you can make a profit, it is not impossible to make a trip. However, if he really did this trip, he would greatly offend the southern states. He became a traitor in the eyes of southerners. Perhaps in the eyes of the northerners, the goodwill towards him can be increased by a little bit, but in the south, the lost goodwill is not a question of a little bit. He will become the most hated traitor in the entire south.
Generally speaking, although enemies are hateful, traitors are 10,000 times more hateful than enemies.
So participating in this kind of activity will do nothing but harm to President Madison. It is a pitfall in his mind that he will come.
Thoughts, openly rejecting this invitation, although it will deepen the northern states' hatred of him and reduce their support, but the northern states are not his basic dish, they don't necessarily like him, and let them feel worse. In fact, there is nothing too much. The big deal.
On the other hand, the guys in the South are being scolded by the Yankee newspapers. Speaking of the debate, the manor owners in the south and the guys in the north are not at the same level, and they are not rivals at all. At this moment, there is almost nothing to do except repeatedly yelling "You are fake news".
So at this time, the depression of southerners can be imagined. At this time, the president publicly made such a gesture that he would not attend this memorial service, which on the contrary made the southerners think about him greatly. Everyone thinks that President Madison may not be particularly strong in ability, but after all, he is his own person, and his heart is still with us. It is our brother!
With such a judgment, all the previous dissatisfaction immediately disappeared. what? Is President Madison militarily incompetent? This is not to blame him, mainly because the pig teammates are too harmful. You don't know how bad it is to have a pig teammate like the Yankee! You have to know, if the Yankee belongs to the British, then we can use one legion to defeat them; if the Yankee is neutral, then we can prevent them by leaving two legions; unfortunately Yes-the Yankee is actually ours, for this we must take out six or seven legions to protect them! Therefore, it is not that President Madison is incompetent, but the Yankee is too bad! What, you object to my statement? Look at your shameless look. Are you a North Korean? You must know the shame, you must know the shame!
In particular, President Madison said that he was busy with official duties and did not even have time to write a eulogy; on the other hand, well, considering that golf is not a popular sport in this era, President Madison publicly went fishing by the river and let The reporters of the Southern Newspaper saw it clearly.
Just as the support rate among the red necks rose further after Wang Wang went to play golf, President Madison publicly went fishing by the river during office hours, and the people of the South supported him more and more. Although he has been re-elected for one term, many Southerners have expressed their support for President Madison to serve another term.
Of course, President Madison will not pursue three consecutive terms, but his high evaluation is definitely good news for others in the Democratic Republican Party with him. Because in this era, the southern states have more electoral votes. Even in the original history, during this period of time, the southern states had obvious advantages over the north in terms of population and economic strength. Of course, with the continuous arrival of European immigrants, the plantation economy in the southern states did not provide enough employment opportunities, so the population continued to flow into the northern states, which finally led to the contrast in strength between the northern states and the southern states.
In this time and space, due to the existence of French Louisiana, Louisiana became the first choice for Europeans to immigrate to North America. Therefore, the number of immigrants that can be absorbed by the northern states has dropped greatly. Therefore, compared with the original history, the power gap between the northern states and the southern states is greater. In this era of the United States, it is true that those who have gained the South have the world.
However, President Madison's approach is a good thing for the United States, because it makes the North and South of the United States increasingly opposed. The growing rift between the South and the North will surely weaken their power as a whole country.
Although President Madison failed to attend the memorial service, the level of the memorial service is still quite high. Governor Christopher Gore first spoke at the memorial service. He first expressed his sincere condolences to the death of Professor Fafnir and his greetings to the family of the deceased. Then he spoke highly of Professor Fafnir’s academic character and character. For his love and contribution to the United States, he said that people like Professor Fafnell are the real "great patriots."
Then he condemned the attempt to use guns and violence to silence the people, and predicted that they would never succeed.
"In the past, the English pirate gangs tried to deprive us of our freedom with guns, but they did not succeed; today, some cultists also want to deprive us of our freedom with guns, and they will never succeed."
After Governor Christopher Gore, several other congressmen also delivered speeches. The content was basically not much different from the governor's speech. It was nothing more than affirming Fafnir’s contribution, expressing grief, and expressing determination to safeguard freedom. .
Then, Professor Bobron gave a speech as a special guest. Professor Bobron reviewed the friendship between him and Professor Fafnir, expressed his sympathy for Professor Fafnir’s misfortune, and said that the United States can have the law. Professor Funier is an honor to the United States. The death of Professor Fafnier is not only a loss for the United States, but also a common loss for peace-loving people all over the world. At the same time, he also proposed not to hate other people blindly because of Professor Fafnir's death.
"What we want to oppose is the kind of thought that promotes hatred and incites violence, not the people who are poisoned by those thoughts. In a sense, they are the same victims, and even more sad victims. My friend Professor Fafnir was killed, but at the time he was killed, at least his soul was still healthy. But what about those who were poisoned by that kind of terrible thought? Although their bodies are still healthy, they are spiritually He is dead. Bullets can only hurt the body, but evil thoughts can destroy the soul.
Professor Fafnier discovered this and tried hard to save these souls, but unfortunately, he fell on his own way, just like a soldier fell on the battlefield. But our war with these wrong and even evil ideas is not over. Some of us should pick up the pen left by Professor Fafnir and continue his career.
I noticed that in these days, another friend of mine—Professor Greene continues to stick to the work left by Prof. Fafnir~EbookFREE.me~ The courage he has shown in this has made I really admire it. We know that, like Professor Fafnell, Professor Grey is also the target of certain extremists, so I have always advised him to minimize his appearance in public. This will ensure safety.
But everyone has seen it. Professor Grey still came to the scene because he said to me: ‘we can’t lose to fear. Those extremists, using such despicable methods, use bullets to block the voice of freedom, isn't it just to make us fear? Isn't it just to make us unable to speak out because of fear? If at this time, I hide because of fear, wouldn’t it be like surrendering to the enemy on the battlefield? If so, then they really won. I can't watch such wrong thoughts triumph, and can't watch them drag my beloved America into hell. So, my friend, I have nowhere to go. Behind me is America. ’
Just when I went out, I reminded Professor Grey again to pay attention to safety. Professor Green told me, ‘My friend, this is my battle, I can’t escape it. Just like when St. Peter returned to Rome. I know that it is dangerous to show up now, but I hope that in the future, I will be able to face God like Professor Fafnell and say this sentence: "I have fought bai for the good fight. I have run out of the way, and I have kept the faith."'"
