Chapter 648: Isolationism

New York.

wall street.

Wells Fargo, General Services, Office of the President.

"Damn it... what's going on outside?" Jonathan said a little grumpily, hearing the hustle and bustle outside the office.

As the number of Gang Jiang's clients increased and the business volume expanded to Southeast Asia, Jonathan became busy again.

And his wife Doris, after two people's hard work, her belly has begun to show, and it is now the third month, and the wife's emotional reaction is very strong.

Recently, Jonathan felt very troubled by his nervous reaction, and even sent his little secretary to Luxembourg, asking her to go there to assist in the development of business in Western Europe.

It was not easy to have a leisurely morning today, Jonathan fantasized about being able to sleep on the sofa, but was awakened by crowds of shouts on the street.

"Hey, can anyone tell me what happened outside?" Jonathan rubbed his head and opened the door and asked.

"Boss, it's the isolationists who are marching." The newly appointed secretary at the door said.

He is 177cm tall, has a three-dimensional face, and a thin body. His thin lips are painted with dark purple lipstick, which is coquettish and sexy. A pair of beautiful legs are slender and straight under a short skirt.

"Well, come in and let me talk about today's work." Jonathan glanced from top to bottom, very satisfied with the personnel arrangement.

"Is that Charles Lindbergh outside?" Jonathan asked curiously as he stood in front of the window and watched the team passing by the intersection.

"Yes, BOSS, the first hero to fly a plane across the Atlantic Ocean." The secretary said standing still after closing the door.

"I heard that his No. 1 sports group is very powerful and has the support of many people." Sitting on the desk a little tired, Jonathan patted the seat beside him.

"Many people think that America's entry into World War I was the wrong choice. We should stay away from the right and wrong in Europe and let them die."

The little secret smiled sweetly, stepped forward to put down the folder, and reached out to grab his crotch.

"Hmm...that's a good point." Jonathan supported his body with his hands, looked up at the ceiling, and thought about the 'Neutrality Act' that was being heatedly discussed in Congress. '

The United States should not participate in the wars of other countries, isolate the European continent, and let the Europeans fight to the death. This is the most mainstream thinking now.

Isolationism has long been one of the most influential political ideas in American history.

The political views established since the time of Washington had been the prevailing mainstream thought in North America before the Pearl Harbor incident.

Because the United States is cut off from most countries by the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, since independence, the old Americans have always felt that they live in a different world from people elsewhere.

Since the founding of the country, Washington has required the United States to maintain a high degree of vigilance when making allies, even though isolationist ideas were not supported at home.

Desperate to keep North America out of the Napoleonic Wars, John Adams loses the second-term presidential election.

His successor, Thomas Jefferson, did not want to repent, and went all the way to the dark. In his second term, in order to prevent the United States from being involved in the Napoleonic Wars, he chose to interrupt trade with Europe, which caused his approval rating to plummet.

And then the War of 1812, which ended so disastrously during James Madison's administration, was simply horrible.

Since then, "don't get involved in the European war" has gradually become a tacit agreement reached by all American politicians.

The public also disagreed from the beginning, wanting to go out and welcome in, to the current "don't let them bother us, the Europeans will die themselves." '

Ever since countries began to tensely reorganize their armaments and the smoke of war became clearer, a group of activists who chanted "independence and freedom" were born in North America.

Among them, Charles Lindbergh is the most famous, founded the "First Movement Group," mentioned many times in his speech: If you believe that the fate of the United States should be independent, if you believe that the country should be far away from Europe, we ask you stand her ground,

Join America First Committee.

Although this No. 1 movement group is a non-governmental organization, it is attracting the attention of the public in society and has a huge momentum.

Even Congress cannot ignore their existence and seriously consider whether to pass the 'Neutrality Act' for approval.

As his body trembled violently, Jonathan recovered from his thoughts, looked at the secretary's back lying beside the trash can and smiled contentedly: "I ordered a watch at Tiffany's, remember to get it after get off work! "

For the rich, ordering goods in luxury stores is the most basic operation.

Pick 3-5 favorite products first, and the seller will keep at least one of them for you. Mary often does this too.

"Thank you BOSS." After rinsing his mouth, the secretary cleared his breath with a mint-flavored spray, and then he straightened his wrinkled collar and smiled.

Keng Keng, there was a knock on the door.

Jonathan sat back in his seat in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Come in."

"Boss, Mr. Charlie is here." As soon as he opened the door, the intern secretary smelled a mixed smell in the air.

With mint, sanitizer, particles and olives, it's a bit of a cover-up, and any grown-up will know exactly what it is.

"Where is he?" Charlie came, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with the company recently.

...

...

Upstairs, in Juliana's CEO's office.

Charlie was sitting in her usual seat, with her back turned downstairs, watching the parade as it walked down the street.

"Here you are." Juliana came over with two cubes of whiskey and sat on his lap naturally, handing the glass to his hand.

"Thank you." Taking a sip, Li Zitao said softly; "These people are really troublesome."

"They shouldn't hinder you?" Juliana was a little curious, but his expression seemed to be disgusted with the parade downstairs.

"Won't it interfere?" Li Zitao smiled sarcastically, and said, "The S.H.I.E.L.D. offices in Los Angeles and Chicago are almost blocked by them!"

This matter has to start with the deal with Poland. Piłsudski was very happy when he paid the bill, and the instructor who accompanied the ship also joined the army and began to be responsible for training.

But that's it, somehow these 'First Movement' guys found out, and then someone said that S.H.I.E.L.D. was trying to lure America into the European War.

At present, there is no voice in the mainstream reports. It is Li Zitao who asked Harry of the News Corporation to exert pressure, so that the performance is calm.

But how long it can last, he doesn't know, and public opinion has started to talk about his skin color again, and all kinds of messy speculations have come out.

Together with the previous "weird" adjustments of AD-B and Mobil, they also took it as evidence that he wanted to drag the United States into the war.

As for why he did this, it is naturally because his arms company can earn a lot of benefits from it. Look at the orders from Poland, isn't it right?
