My America

It was not just Wilkins who attacked Edison ’s remarks. Southern Republicans were already in a difficult situation in the southern states, bearing the absolute advantage of the Democrats. Once the North-South issue is detonated, the lives of these Republicans will be even more difficult. Now, after hearing Edison's statement, they have risen with the enemy, saying that as Republicans, they have not found any separation trend here.

The Republican Party has no foundation in the southern states all the year round, that is, the hostility that the citizens of the south cannot see. After several recent elections, Republicans have discovered that citizens of the northern states have no longer had a cold hatred for Latin America. They mentioned that the Civil War was harmful to the elections, and they did not forget that the civil war was the citizens of the South.

Under such circumstances, it is too late to bridge the contradictions. How is it possible to detonate the contradictions between the citizens of the North and South again? It has become a consensus to keep silent about the civil war. Now there is a person who talks about the separation of the southern states in this situation. This is not only the enemy of the southern Dixie but also the enemy of the Republican Party.

Louisiana, Virginia, Florida, local Republican leaders or senior Republicans jumped out one by one to express their views, saying that Edison's remarks were very inappropriate. Such remarks are the real act of splitting the United States, and Edison must sincerely apologize.

"Can a real businessman leave politics? No!" Sheffield looked at the newspaper, his face filled with pride.

"Can a real businessman leave politics? No!" Morgan, who was nearly sixty years old, looked at Edison indifferently. Although the other party is also regarded as a rich man praised by the world, he still has something to do with the deep level of a country I don't know much about it. Edison didn't grow up to this level, so naturally he knew nothing about politics.

As the authority of the financial community in the United States, Morgan is very proud of his own means of overturning the cloud in the financial industry. More modestly, he thinks he doesn't have an opponent. Since defeating Rothschild and the Leaguers that year, he has no opponents.

Since when he knew, real businessmen cannot leave politics. Only in this way can we have a profound understanding of the upcoming changes and ensure an invincible position.

But obviously, Edison, who is already a successful person in the eyes of ordinary citizens, does not yet know anything about this level.

"Mr. Morgan, I don't really mean that!" Edison had to say with a distracted voice when he saw Morgan sitting in a chair for a long time. "It's the newspaper that misinterpreted me, and this kind of worry makes sense Yes, if the southern states establish another set of voltage standards, it may indeed increase the separation trend. "

Edison didn't dare to gasp in front of Morgan. He knew that he, a successful person in the eyes of ordinary people, could not count anything in front of this person.

"Isn't that what you mean?" Morgan stared at Edison's face playfully. "What do you mean? Haven't you said that?"

"I said, but this doubt makes sense!" Edison explained anxiously. "Isn't that the case?"

"Even if this is the case, it can't be said that the civil war has passed, and that is the past. Now Republicans in the southern states are saying that your suspicions are wrong, that is wrong. You cannot doubt, you cannot mention, the civil war cannot Mention it, you ca n’t even doubt it! ”Morgan said with a deep face,“ You should weld your mouth, but you did n’t do it. It ’s a technical dispute, but now it ’s a regional issue. You Your reputation, your wealth may disappear, so have you thought about this consequence? "

"No! You just thought that different standards may limit your promotion, and at the same time strip off the aura of your great inventor!" Before waiting for Edison to answer, Morgan shouted innocently, "Your eyes are only Which point is the problem of money, but once it reaches the North-South issue, and the Republican Party wants to regain power, this is not a question of money. Do your big inventor, I am naturally responsible for electrical development, this is what you should Are you concerned about it? If this matter gets bigger, you will lose what you should lose. "

Morgan also said these words to Edison under pressure, "You are not different from Tesla. To say that there is a difference, it is just that your company has my support, not how talented you are. Talented There are many engineers. Your DC is promoted by me. Without my promotion, it is impossible to have such a fast progress. "

"But Mr. Morgan, once the voltage standards in the south are different, don't we have a competitor? Or should we find a way." Edison heard the news and quickly emphasized his good intentions, maybe the result was a bit bad, but it was really the beginning kindness.

"You are still thinking about your aura, do you think Mrs. Anna is easy to handle? Have you seen her? I tell you, if his husband had left early, you would know what would be difficult." Morgan was also very embarrassed. , Helplessly said, "Now this time is very difficult. The second term of President Cleveland saw an economic depression. The Republican Party is waiting to regain power. But what is the result of the upcoming election year, no one can say that this time The best thing is that there is nothing. Wait until the election begins, so Republican talent in the southern states will be very dissatisfied with your remarks. "

"Do you do nothing?" Edison tasted Morgan's words. It seemed that Morgan was not going to say anything for himself, but this was not Morgan's usual style.

"Unless Sheffield can cover the power grid in the southern states at a very fast rate, I think this is unlikely. We can wait until the election and deal with this issue slowly." Morgan finally decided, "but before that You must apologize for the remarks related to the South a few days ago, otherwise something unexpected will happen, and the Republican Party will certainly remember to trouble you. "

Waiting is the best way to deal with it. After spending the beginning of this election year, it should be too late to go back and deal with it! This is Morgan's idea.

As for Edison himself, whether he is willing or unwilling, he must make a formal apology for his previous remarks, be aware of his own hindsight, not understand politics and pay the price for political correctness.

"I think I used the self-righteous humor in the wrong place. I quickly ignored the civil war as a huge tragedy, and now feel deeply apologetic." Edison apologized for the report with a very sincere tone. This time it hit the political correctness, even if he did not dare to say too much, honestly followed Morgan's instructions and began to quell the matter.
