I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 260: Zhu Houzhao Louis XVI crowns Washington! The press conference that shocked the world!

"Mr. President, you know us!"

"We, the Federal Party, support you as king from beginning to end!"

Vice President Adams quickly expressed his position, fearing that Washington, who was on a killing spree, would deal with them as well.

At the same time, as he spoke, he also pulled Hamilton, fearing that Hamilton would contradict Washington.

"Mr. President, I'm really happy to see you like this too!"

"We, the Federal Party, will fully support any measures taken by Your Majesty to strengthen the central power of the Federation!"

Hamilton was certainly not a fool. After seeing Washington's courage, he placed his right hand directly on his left chest and bowed slightly to Washington.

His original idea was to establish a constitutional monarchy and build a financial system for the entire United States, but he encountered various oppositions in the past few years.

Now, Washington has finally figured it out and wants to be a dictator's king.

Instead, he was somewhat excited now, as he could finally show his talents.

So, everyone turned their attention to Jefferson's Democratic Republican Party...

As we all know, Jefferson and his colleagues were dissatisfied with the excessive power of the federal government, opposed Washington's claim to be emperor, and opposed the Democratic-Republican Party which was established after the Federalist Party.

"Mr. President, is it true... that if I don't choose to support you, you will kill us today?"

Facing such a powerful Washington, Jefferson showed no fear at all. Instead, he asked back calmly.

After these words were spoken, James Monroe and a group of Democratic and Republican bigwigs behind Jefferson tensed up.

"Jefferson, of course not... You are my good friend. How could I kill you..."

When Washington said this, both Democrats and Republicans breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, King! Thank you, King!"

They apologized quickly and felt like they had been through the gates of hell.

"But... Jefferson, if you don't support me today, then... I think the Democratic Republican Party is unnecessary! If you want to survive, you can go to Mexico, Canada, or even South America to establish your own democratic republic."

With this turn of events, the Democratic and Republican parties were dumbfounded again.

Are they going to be exiled?

"So... the future America will no longer be democratic?" Jefferson smiled sarcastically.

"No, I am not democratic as a king..."

Washington shook his head, then looked around and stated his governing philosophy: "Under the king, including the president, including your Congress and the two parties, democracy can still be possible!"

Yes, Washington was prepared to adopt Zhu Houzhao's suggestion and establish an American presidential system under the leadership of a king.

"Your Majesty, you mean..."

“Can I still be president?”

Adams' eyes lit up.

"Yes! Our American Constitution is still valid!"

"Our Congress and courts can still exercise any rights!"

"But... I have the veto power over everything, the final right of interpretation of all matters, and absolute military power!"

Washington displayed the king's dominance, and for a moment, everyone in the audience dared not disobey him!
"Washington, you win..."

"I will not leave America, but I will choose to dissolve the Democratic Republican Party. I only want to return to Virginia to build a school..."

"Do you agree to this request?"

Jefferson suddenly became dejected, as if all his political ideas and pillars had collapsed at once, and he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

"of course can."

Washington nodded, and James Monroe and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as their lives were finally saved.

However, if the Democratic-Republican Party is dissolved, how will they maintain their wealth and prosperity?

This is another problem!

Of course, they dare not say anything now, and they just have to wait for the dust to settle.

"So... now that I am the Emperor of America, who would object?"

"If no one objects, then please allow His Majesty Louis XVI and His Majesty Li to crown me..."

Washington looked at the audience again, and no one dared to object wherever his eyes went.

"I object!"

However, a sudden voice rang out again.

what?
Who else is so fearless of death?

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound again.

Zhu Houzhao, Louis XVI and others also looked over curiously, and finally stopped at the French representative.

This objection was actually raised by the French ambassador.

"Mr. Ambassador, this is our American internal affairs. It seems that it is not your turn to object, right?" Washington was stunned.

"I am against Louis XVI crowning you!" The French ambassador still looked at Louis XVI with hostility.

"boom!"

However, he was answered by a gunshot.

"you……"

The French ambassador looked at Grant with the gun raised in astonishment.

"invalid objection!"

Grant blew at the muzzle of his gun and spoke calmly.

Plop! The French ambassador fell to the ground!
Wow!
The representatives from various countries at the table were so frightened that they all stood up.

"Washington, how dare you? Are you going to declare war on France?" The French deputy envoy looked at Washington in shock.

"Haha, then let you French declare war on us!"

"Our King needs a hearty battle to establish his country!"

Grant was not afraid at all and immediately made a decision for Washington. France is now busy with its own affairs, so how can it still care about the internal affairs of the United States?

"Uh... Grant's meaning is what I mean. If you French are unhappy, you can declare war on me!"

Washington was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the French deputy envoy.

Grant had obviously thought of the next path for him in advance. His coup was only a preliminary measure. If he let them go back, they would also engage in various rebellions. Only by introducing a powerful foreign enemy and fighting a real war of founding the country could he officially declare that he, Washington, had become the true emperor of the United States.

They just want to step on the present France to gain power!

Wow!

The whole audience was in an uproar!

"Your Majesty, do you really want to declare war on France?"

"Your Majesty, this is your big move after your coronation... Can America compete with France at this moment?"

The reporters were in an uproar. Washington killing the hero was not a big news, but now Washington openly killed the French ambassador, which was a declaration of war against France.

Adams, Hamilton, Jefferson, James Madison and others looked at Washington in amazement.

It feels like I don't know Washington at all.

"Yes! That's right! France is bullying America too much right now! The first thing I will do after I am crowned king is to declare war on France! If they don't stop detaining our American merchant ships and release our American citizens! I don't mind starting a war between the two countries!"

Naturally, Washington had no choice but to bite the bullet and set up the stage.

This can be regarded as suppressing the current pro-French and pro-British wavering attitudes in the United States.

"You...you...Washington, you..."

The French deputy envoy was speechless.

Ambassadors from Britain, Spain, Portugal and other countries all looked at Washington in surprise.

"Next...Adams, clear the place and then proceed with my coronation ceremony!"

"Your Majesty, King Louis XVI, please crown me!"

Washington ignored the crowd's shock and went straight to the next step.

Adams acted quickly and cleared the scene quickly. In a short while, he had cleared all the bodies from the scene.

At the same time, they quickly took out the scepters, crowns and dragon robes that had been prepared long ago.

"Your Majesty, I have a question... Your coronation does not seem to be in accordance with the rules. Logically, it should be our church that crowns you!"

Looking at all these prepared props, an archbishop of the Anglican Church couldn't help himself!

The king and the church complement each other. Now that Washington wants to become emperor, the church has seen the possibility of sharing the king's power.

Of course, the church would not stop Washington from becoming emperor, but instead wanted to get a piece of the pie.

"No need! Bishop, my coronation as emperor does not require recognition from the church!"

"I have someone more suitable!"

Naturally, Washington refused directly. What a joke! He had finally become king and didn't want to engage in the divine right of kings or find another father for himself.

"This... this doesn't conform..." The bishop wanted to argue, but was stopped by the priest.

"Next... let me solemnly introduce His Majesty the Emperor who is here to crown me today!"

"One of them is His Majesty Louis XVI, and the other... is His Majesty from the Eastern Empire!"

"Let us welcome His Majesty Louis XVI and Queen Marie, and... His Majesty Lee and his Queen!"

Louis XVI and Queen Marie, as well as Zhu Houzhao and Xu Yunmiao, all stepped onto the stage again in front of everyone at this moment.

Roosevelt and his men did not take action because it would be useless if their identities were exposed and it would attract the attention of European powers.

They are temporarily unable to spare the time to coordinate various aspects of supplies.

"Your Majesty of the Eastern Empire..."

"Your Majesty, is this the Emperor of the Eastern Empire?"

"Your claim to the throne also received support from the great Eastern powers?"

The coming to power of Louis XVI was not a big deal, but the exposure of the identities of Zhu Houzhao and Xu Yunmiao once again caused exclamations from the reporters in the audience.

Because the current Qing Empire is, overall, indeed a powerful and mysterious empire!

"Your Majesty, are you here today to represent the East and join the world order?"

"Your Majesty Li, how did you and His Majesty the King know each other?"

"What deal did you make?"

"Also, Queen, your clothes are too gorgeous, aren't they the attire of an oriental royal family?"

Reporters flocked to Zhu Houzhao and Xu Yunmiao, wanting to know more about them and the implications of this move.

The British representatives and others could no longer laugh at this time. Instead, they looked at Zhu Houzhao and others with extreme caution.

"We will discuss these issues after Washington is crowned."

Zhu Houzhao spoke in Chinese with a smile, and Jesse translated on the side.

So the reporters and everyone present could only wait.

The coronation ceremony was also very simple. Louis XVI and Zhu Houzhao each gave a scepter and a crown, and Adams put on the dragon robe for Washington. The ceremony was completed.

However, wait until Washington is crowned and changes his clothes back.

Roosevelt took out his camera and took a group photo of their delegation.

Even the meritorious groups and governors’ representatives were forced to stand together for a photo.

"My fellow journalists... take these photos and report to the world..."

The quick photos were given directly to the reporters on the spot, which again caused a sensation among the reporters.

"Alright! Now... have a press conference!"

"Dear reporters, you may ask questions freely now!"

After the ceremony, Roosevelt and his team naturally held a press conference as usual.
