Chapter 1008 Deepening Cooperation

The end of the European war was good news for Truman, which greatly relieved his pressure and also gave him certain political achievements.

Although it was the shadow of his predecessors, Truman, as the then president, took a big advantage, but Roosevelt was in bad luck.

If he can persist for another half month, Roosevelt will be able to add another great achievement to his list... Maybe it is better than nothing for him.

No matter who, no matter how long, Roosevelt's greatness is undeniable.

Even if the American people of later generations do not have a strong sense of identity with him, they think that his New Deal is authoritarian, harming the interests of states and individuals, strengthening federal autocracy, favoring socialism, causing huge deficits to consume the future of the country, and so on.

Compared with little Roosevelt, old Americans prefer his relative, old Roosevelt.

Push the national interests from North America to Latin America and the Pacific Ocean, seize the Panama Canal, and lay the foundation for the power of the United States.

He has made many decisions and policies that have far-reaching impact on the United States, and he should not be unfamiliar with the old Roosevelt Chinese.

It was Roosevelt's decision to return half of the boxer indemnity received by the United States to China, and the Huaqing School was a preparatory school for studying in the United States under this payment.

Well, the topic is far away.

With the achievements of defeating NC, Truman's current administration has more say, and it also frees him a lot of time.

It's just that from the heart, Truman didn't have much gratitude for his predecessor, and Roosevelt left him a lot of mess.

These things cannot be resolved with just a few words, and the impact will be long-term, and what he has to do now is to complete them with all his strength.

The surrender ceremony held in Berlin was presided over by Soviet Marshal Zhukov.

In fact, on the evening of the 7th, Germany had submitted the instrument of surrender to the Allied Quartet, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union.

However, Marshal Zhukov insisted on holding another formal surrender ceremony in Berlin, and the helpless German military could only agree to this request.

On the 9th, under the leadership of Marshal Zhukov, the representatives of the four countries sat in positions facing the gate in turn.

They are; Air Force Admiral Ted on behalf of Great Britain, Marshal Zhukov on behalf of the Soviet Union, General Spazzi on behalf of the United States and General Delancey on behalf of France.

The representative who signed the surrender agreement was the head of the German Supreme Command and Field Marshal Keitel. His expression was full of frustration from beginning to end.

Hours before the formal signing of the agreement, Keitel requested a 24-hour delay but was rebuffed.

The signing of the agreement means that a large number of soldiers from the European battlefield are about to return home. How many families will be happy about this, and how many families will lose sleep all night.

There are also jobs. If the United States was in a labor shortage before, then with the end of the European battlefield and the reduction of government wartime departments, the unemployment rate will rise like a wild horse.

Therefore, Truman needs large companies to assume their social responsibilities.

Creating more jobs, housing the country's veterans, and reemploying the unemployed all require the support of business people.

Li Zitao bears the brunt of this, because he created two emerging industries, TV and electronics.

This not only represents interests, but also contains a large number of job vacancies. Washington hopes that the company under his name can make a good start.

Li Zitao did the same. Both LNC and IBM are building new factories and posting recruitment notices at the same time.

Veterans First, marked in bold black lettering below the notice.

This was Li Zitao's idea. Anyway, he is not a government department. As a private organization, he is free to use whoever he wants.

What's more, as the heroes of this country, they should enjoy priority treatment.

If someone makes trouble, Li Zitao believes that the military department and the navy will take the initiative to help him settle it.

Otherwise, if there is another protest of veterans, Washington will not be able to bear the bloodshed again.

Especially now that the war is not completely over.

The Pacific War is still stalemate, and the madness of the little devil has caused the US military to suffer a lot.

The remnants stationed on the islands launched crazy suicide attacks again and again.

If contact is interrupted, follow the orders of the on-site commander.

If there is no supplies, go to rob the natives or enemies, find wild fruits, bugs, spiders and mice to roast and eat.

Without weapons, they organize death squads to charge bayonets at night and use human lives to fill...

The navy in the Pacific theater is okay, but the army responsible for stationing islands and landing on the beach has suffered a lot.

Many even suffered severe war trauma after being evacuated to the United States, complicating logistical resettlement.

It was at this time that many psychiatric institutions emerged in the United States.

Among them, Osborne's mental rehabilitation center appears to be unknown.

However, it passed the review of the military department and became a partner of the military logistics support department, responsible for taking over the treatment of soldiers' post-war trauma.

Of course, this kind of work is limited to New York, California and Illinois.

Osborne is trying to meet the needs of the three states, opening a total of 11 mental health centers.

The specifications of these sanatoriums are unmatched by other institutions, and they have not only paid attention to living and environment.

There are also authoritative medical teams and expert groups to provide patients with comprehensive private treatment plans.

Depending on the situation of each patient, the treatment methods used are different.

Instead of coercion or torture with so-called electric shocks and experimental drugs like other institutions to solve the problem.

The biggest reform of Osborn is the full transparency of all treatments.

The wards have large resin glass windows, central air-conditioning, clean carpets, and brand-new LNC TVs.

It is open at a fixed time every day, and family members, individuals or organizations are allowed to visit and visit.

The nursing home has a two-acre playground for outdoor activities such as football, badminton and table tennis.

There is also a public open-air swimming pool at the back, providing patients with a comfortable and relaxing recuperation environment.

No matter how picky people are, after visiting the Osborne Nursing Home, they can only exclaim 'Ho, My God. '

When the Los Angeles Central Sanatorium was first built and opened as a template, the military even criticized it because the specifications were too high.

Had it not been for Li Zitao's proposal to provide military officers above the school level with free accommodation for two weeks a year and a 50% reduction in long-term recuperation expenses, it is still unknown whether Osborne could successfully become a partner of the military department.

Naturally, these will not be included in the contract, but it is a well-known benefit in the top military department, and any in-service personnel who meet the conditions can enjoy the same treatment.

The nursing home project also allowed Bechtel to resume orders, but with some bloated branches, the think tank plans to carry out a comprehensive restructuring in the future.

This will affect the interests of thousands of families, think tanks must be cautious and look for the right time to do it.

This time, Bechtel was also excluded from the resettlement work in Washington.
