I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 257 Washington: I will be crowned Emperor of America! Who is in favor and who is against?

The scene was somewhat chaotic for a while.

However, whether it is Zhu Houzhao, Roosevelt and others.

People like Washington have all gone through many storms.

Everyone had expected this little commotion.

Queen Mary was a little frightened. She asked Louis XVI with a strange look on her face: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Yes, Mary doesn't understand English and can't understand.

This sentence with a French accent left the reporters dumbfounded.

"Queen Mary... I'm a reporter from The Times! Excuse me, are you really Queen Mary?"

Immediately, a reporter from the Times asked in a different language.

"Mary, don't talk...let Washington come." Louis XVI pulled Marie.

[Louis XVI: Washington, it's up to you! ]

Washington received it, and then spoke again decisively.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. Do not disturb my guests. Today is my departure ceremony."

"I can tell you clearly that for some unspeakable reasons, the people who appeared before you are indeed His Majesty Louis XVI and Queen Marie."

"They are genuine!"

Through the microphone, Washington's voice once again resounded throughout the venue.

Brush brush brush brush!

After receiving Washington's recognition, the whole audience looked at Louis XVI and Queen Marie with shock, astonishment, or disbelief. In broad daylight, no, late at night, was it possible to see a ghost?
"God! Impossible!"

"How can a dead person be resurrected?"

"I must have seen a ghost!"

The priest of the church suddenly started to twitch and quickly prayed before he calmed down a little.

"Impossible... His Majesty the Sixteenth was already on the guillotine three years ago..."

"Yeah… God, what happened?"

The priest's exclamation also made the bigwigs unable to sit still.

The French ambassador turned pale and then shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could the person in front of us be Louis XVI!"

"He is so young! And Queen Mary is so beautiful!"

"Washington, what the hell are you doing? This joke is not funny at all!"

Naturally, they are the ones who can't accept it the most.

Because they had made such a mess in the country, some people even began to miss and regret Louis XVI.

[American Emperor Washington: Your Majesty, do you need to say hello to everyone, especially the French people... Although he is not one of yours now. 】

Faced with this situation, Washington did not want to explain so much, but instead gave the choice to Louis XVI.

[Louis XVI: But what can I say? We are here to watch your show, I am not the protagonist! ]

Louis XVI was quite helpless.

[American King Cleveland: Haha, I thought of a sentence! Your Majesty Louis XVI, you can say... I am Louis XVI, Louis XVI is you, I am France! Your king is back! ]

Cleveland was naturally happy to watch the fun and thought of something to say to Louis XVI.

Louis XVI understood it immediately.

【Louis XVI: Okay! 】

"Everyone, be quiet... His Majesty Louis XVI wants to speak!"

Washington immediately raised his hand and spoke, and the noisy situation suddenly became quiet again.

Then Washington stepped down himself and handed the microphone to Louis XVI.

All eyes fell on Louis XVI again.

"Have you noticed... this Louis XVI seems different from the dead Louis XVI? He seems younger. Are there really two identical people in the world?" The British representative looked at the Spanish representative curiously: "You in Spain seem to be more familiar with Louis XVI. Does he have a twin brother or something?

"Sir, if you ask me, we don't know either!" The Spanish representative also looked confused.

"I'm looking forward to what His Majesty Louis XVI has to say?" The Portuguese representative looked at Louis XVI curiously.

"What should I say? Although your impoliteness is a bit offensive to me!"

Then, under everyone's attention, Louis XVI took the microphone. Faced with this situation, he turned the microphone nervously. Naturally, as soon as he opened his mouth, some people's memories were awakened.

"but……"

"What I want to say is... I am Louis XVI, and Louis XVI is me! I am France! I am the true King of France!"

"I am France!"

Louis XVI was naturally nervous, but fortunately, he still knew how to repeat Louis XIV's wise words in one breath.

Wow!

Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar.

Louis XVI's French was naturally extremely pure, and his unique stuttering and punctuation also awakened people's memories.

"This... this tone, is really the voice and tone of His Majesty Louis XVI!"

Jefferson was shocked, and Hamilton and others were silent, staring at Louis XVI.

"My brain is not working properly... I even feel like my ears are broken again. Adams, is this really His Majesty Louis XVI?"

On the side of the group of heroes, Samuel Adams, the founding father who planned the Boston Tea Party, couldn't help rubbing his eyes and ears and looking at Louis XVI.

"If this is Louis XVI, I suspect that I have participated in a fake French Revolution..." Thomas Paine, one of the Fourteen Sages of the Founding of the United States, was deeply involved in the French Revolution and the author of "Common Sense".

During the French Revolution, he was imprisoned for a time. With the fall of Robespierre, he was released and temporarily returned to America.

He witnessed the beheading of Louis XVI with his own eyes.

Now, with Louis XVI appearing before him again, he began to suspect that he had participated in the fake French Revolution.

"So... our Mr. President, where did he find His Majesty Louis XVI and Queen Marie... Is the French Revolution really fake? Mr. President, what does he want to do?" One of the founding fathers and New York Governor George Clinton once again felt that this banquet was unusual.

The table of founding fathers fell into deep thought.

"Louis XVI! Is it really you? Please tell me again, you were beheaded during the French Revolution?"

"Also...what do you think about the current situation in France?"

"You appeared at President Washington's departure ceremony. Do you want to restore the Bourbon dynasty with the help of America?"

The most excited ones were the journalists and media. At this moment, they were once again like sharks smelling blood. They all pointed their pens and papers at Louis XVI, and then their imaginations started to open up to some sensitive topics.

"Restore the Bourbon monarchy!"

"hiss!"

When these questions were raised by reporters who were eager to create chaos in the world, the American hero groups and representatives from various countries all took a deep breath.

They seemed to have seen tomorrow's newspaper: Shocked...America will support the restoration of Louis XVI in France!

The headlines in the newspapers alone are terrifying.

"Impossible! France has been reborn. It is absolutely impossible to go back to the corrupt and backward system of the past! You, the Louis XVI, are a fake! Washington, you Americans have wolfish ambitions...you..." The French ambassador broke down and yelled again, like a mad dog.

"Can I just say... I'm here for a dinner in Washington? What you guys are talking about... is none of my business."

Louis XVI touched his nose awkwardly, shrugged his shoulders, and sat back in his seat.

"Attending a dinner party for President Washington... this..."

The reporters were not satisfied with Louis XVI's answer.

"Yes! That's right! Dear journalists and friends from France, His Majesty Louis XVI is only here to attend my dinner!" "Mr. Ambassador, I can also answer you directly! His Majesty Louis XVI and Queen Mary came to America for no other purpose! They are just here to be guests..."

Washington took the microphone again and changed the subject before the reporters could react.

"Everyone! I am the protagonist today!"

"What's the problem? Can you please respect me a little?"

"If you have any questions, wait until my ceremony is over, and then you can ask His Majesty Louis XVI!"

Washington's words once again quieted everyone down a bit, and then they all came back to their senses as they watched Louis XVI and Queen Marie whispering to each other.

Yes! The protagonist tonight is Washington.

I originally thought it was just a simple farewell speech, but who would have thought it would be so explosive from the beginning.

And the instigator... brought Louis XVI here, was it really just for a speech?
It seems that Louis XVI will not run away for the time being.

"Excuse me, Mr. President... your speech today seems a little special... do you have any special arrangements?"

A reporter became Washington's eyewitness.

"Yes! I have a special plan for my farewell speech tonight! Ladies and gentlemen, may I start my farewell speech now?"

Washington's eyes swept across the room, finally landing on the French ambassador.

"I want to see, Washington, what on earth are you going to do?!"

The French ambassador also calmed down, glanced at Louis XVI unwillingly, and sat down.

The whole place returned to an eerie silence, and everyone was waiting for Washington to give them a reasonable explanation.

"Thank you, Mr. Ambassador..."

"Well, my speech begins!"

"Twenty years ago, I'll put it another way to make it easier for everyone to understand..."

"In the first year of Washington, we established an army in the United States, named the Continental Army. I, George Washington, was elected as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. I established a country and named it the United States of America..."

"..."

"During the Washington years, France and the United States formed an alliance. Spain and the Netherlands took part in it."

"In Washington's sixth year, the British army was defeated at Yorktown."

"Washington's eight years won the left bank of the Mississippi River."

"..."

Washington went straight into his farewell speech, which was boring to begin with.

However, because of the arrival of Louis XVI, the speech was full of variables, so the hundreds of people present were all listening attentively to what nonsense Washington could come up with.

Just at the beginning, Washington's statement made Jefferson, Hamilton, Samuel Adams, George Clinton and others frown. Since when did this American record-keeping method become named after him, Washington?

Of course, they frowned, but they had the patience to listen slowly...

"In the twelfth year of Washington, the states met in Philadelphia to establish the Constitution."

"In the thirteenth year of Washington, on April 4, I became president. On September 30, the Supreme Court was established."

"Fourteen years in Washington, I..."

Haha, Zhu Houzhao laughed out loud.

Washington was able to say this, and it was his suggestion.

Let him start from the time when he emerged in America, and describe in detail what America has become under his influence.

This statement had an immediate effect. He looked towards the table of America's heroes and found that each American had his brows furrowed higher and higher after hearing Washington's speech.

Obviously, they had sensed something was wrong.

But still, they listened.

Fortunately, Washington finally got to the point.

"I have already spoken on the proper occasion of my feelings when I first assumed this difficult responsibility. Now, as I resign it, I will only say that I have sincerely contributed to the organization and administration of this government to the best of my ability, a person with limited judgment. When I first took office, I was not unaware of my weak abilities, and my own experience made me lack confidence, which I am afraid was even more so in the eyes of others."

"..."

“It will be seen, therefore, that every part of our country feels a direct and particular advantage from its union, and that by uniting all the parts, the people will find greater strength and resources in a greater combination of means and forces, and will be proportionately more secure against foreign dangers, and less likely to intrude upon their peace…”

"Having said this, I should probably end my speech. But my concern for your happiness will never be abandoned, even in the grave. Because of my concern, I am naturally worried about the dangers that threaten your happiness. This feeling prompts me to make a suggestion on an occasion like today..."

"That is...from today on I will retire as president!"

Washington finally stated his ultimate goal seriously.

Bang bang bang~
Whether they were foreign representatives, representatives from the American political and business circles, or the American meritorious group, when Washington spoke of this, they all couldn't help but applaud.

Although the opening was somewhat unexpected, this unexpectedness did not break the fact that Washington was leaving office.

Washington accepted the applause from the crowd very calmly, because he felt that he deserved the applause.

Over the past twenty years, he has indeed done a lot and thought a lot for this country.

Zhu Houzhao, Louis XVI, Cleveland and others also applauded.

Washington's words were a true expression of his feelings. He was able to integrate the thirteen disobedient states while wearing shackles and bring America back on the right track as a country. That was really his ability.

[Louis XVI, the founder of the United States: Speaking of which... Jefferson, Washington's speech was really good. Are the sentences he just said really what he said when he left office? I really feel that he thought a lot about your America and was reluctant to leave. ]

Louis XVI admired him anyway.

[American Emperor Jefferson: Washington's farewell speech is actually really wonderful! He set the tone for the development of the United States. 】

【American Herald Emperor Jackson: Actually, President Washington’s speech did not seem like a farewell speech. Instead, it seemed like he had a lot of unfinished business that needed to be done. However, in the following process, we were more or less far from President Washington’s expectations.】

The two people who watched the live broadcast simultaneously also commented on Washington's speech, which was almost the same as the original.

[Louis XVI: Well... that's a good point, but, Washington... isn't it time for the show to begin? ]

Although Louis XVI thought it was good, he was still troubled by the long speech.

【American Emperor Washington: Don't be impatient, Your Majesty, wait for them to get used to it. 】

Washington raised his hands again, the applause stopped, and everyone's curious eyes fell on him again.

"Thank you all for your support and trust in me!"

His speech continued: "From what I have just said, you can see that I am reluctant to leave America. I love my motherland and am inspired by patriotism. This feeling is natural for a person who regards his motherland as the homeland of himself and his ancestors. Therefore, I look forward to it with joy and expectation that after my long-awaited retirement, I will happily share with my compatriots the warmth of the perfect laws under the free government..."

"But...I find that instead of hoping that our country will be better after retirement..."

"Might as well, I'll keep doing it!"

"Therefore, the purpose of my calling everyone here today is very simple!"

"I declare the President's retirement!"

"But from this moment on, I will be crowned the Emperor of America!"

"I will continue to lead our three million people and citizens of thirteen states to build America into the powerful empire in my mind!"

Washington finally bared his fangs: "So, who's for and who's against?"

what?
Ah this?

At this moment, the whole audience was silent. Some people had not even put down their hands. They were dumbfounded when they heard Washington's ultimate goal.

"what?"

"Washington, you want to be king?"

"Say it again, what are you going to do?"

John Jay, the fifth president of the Continental Congress during the American Revolutionary War, the designer of the U.S. Constitution, the first Chief Justice of the United States, and a veteran of the Federalist Party, a sixty-year-old man stood up in astonishment.
