Chapter 717: Dirty Work in Washington

The general election has come to the end of the party's primary elections. The Democratic side naturally chooses Roosevelt who will be re-elected, while the Republican side chooses an old guy who is about to retire.

Although there are still more than ten days before the list of candidates will be announced to the public, as long as there are no changes, there will be no changes in the two parties.

Especially on the Republican side, they are very clear that their candidates are running with them, and even the American public understands this.

Because they all firmly believe that Roosevelt will continue to lead the United States forward, maintain economic growth, and let them return to the roaring era of the 1920s.

It is very difficult for the Republican Party to select a candidate. It is necessary to select a person who is worthy enough, but not a seedling who has the potential to run for the presidency.

Any politician who wants to compete in the general election and live in Washington will avoid the taint of election failure.

Moreover, the first general election often has the best results, and the second election to settle in Washington has not yet appeared.

So they put out a respectable, soon-to-retire congressman, for whom this campaign is his final political arena.

His task is to accompany the general election, conduct roadshows to promote the Republican Party's ruling philosophy, and meet supporters from all over the country to keep them confident in the Republican Party.

It is a good experience for him to be able to enjoy a general election treatment before retirement.

The general election in the United States is in full swing, and Africa, which has been shrouded in war, has set off new wars again, and the pacified West Africa has become the second battlefield.

The Spanish garrisons stationed in Morocco and the Canary Islands in West Africa launched a rebellion under the instigation of generals headed by Franco.

A total of 120,000 people from the army and air force participated in the rebellion, and the "Foreign Legion" composed of about 50,000 Moroccans also joined them.

When the government was still hesitating, the rebels quickly occupied the main cities of Morocco, and immediately launched an attack on the Spanish mainland through Gibraltar.

There is only Gibraltar between Morocco and Spain. Franco made up his mind to use Morocco as the rear, and then attack Spain to seize national power.

And they have also achieved initial results. In 13 days, they successively occupied the northern and southwestern provinces of Spain, and wanted to form the capital of Madrid, the capital of the north-south attack.

President Manuel delivered a speech in Madrid, strongly accusing the Spanish Nationalist Party of treasonous behavior that may cause the country to divide and only seek individual rights.

And call on people from all walks of life across the country to take up weapons in their hands, join the People's Front for national stability and national unity, and eliminate these rebellious rebels.

Manuel's speech still had a certain degree of exaggeration, and soon a total of 300,000 people joined the People's Front, starting homeland defense wars in various places, and fighting back the vanguard of the rebels.

At this point in the development of the matter, it is impossible to end it in a short period of time. The next step is the offensive and defensive battle. Let's see who has the stronger power in the end.

As the president of the country, Manuel asked the League of Nations for help, hoping that Britain and France could help him quell the civil strife.

90% of the territory in West Africa is a French colony. If France is willing to send troops to cooperate with Manuel and kick the rebels' ass from the southeast of Morocco, the offensive of the Spanish Nationalist Front will collapse like a sandcastle.

When the time comes, the two sides will attack the rebels in the southwestern part of Spain first, and then let the free People's Front deal with the rebels in the north. This civil strife will naturally end.

After initially receiving the request from the Spanish government, the French government will discuss this matter, but before their discussions can reach a result, this government will step down.

Manuel was dumbfounded, and once again ordered the embassy to discuss this matter with the new government, but he had no hope for France's help in his heart.

A government that cannot even stabilize the domestic political situation, can it be expected to take any effective actions and provide help?

Compared with him, he was more willing to trust the governor of West Africa and the generals in charge of the army. Manuel's people rushed to the French West African colony overnight with the conditions he gave.

"The little man is about to make a move.

" Picking up the lighter on the table and lighting the telegram, Li Zitao looked at the people in front of him.

His most important and respected Wang Dagou, his confidants Hans and George, and Wang Kui who was in charge of security in Osborne and was recently recalled by him.

"Boss, is it too risky to do this?" Thinking of Li Zitao's plan, cold sweat broke out on Hans' back.

The confidential files that he was holding in his hands to be handed over to Washington were as heavy as a mountain, which made Hans feel a lot of pressure and at the same time, a rare excitement arose.

"Let's do the dirty work, let Washington choose a good agent, and don't get killed together." Li Zitao said to Hans.

Everything that needs to be talked about has been written in the plan. From now on, he will gradually release the fangs and minions that the beast of SHIELD has put away.

"Understood." Seeing that Li Zitao had made up his mind, Hans put the briefcase on the table to load the documents, opened the box and thought about it, and stuffed the documents into his inner pocket.

"It's still safe, so I'll go first." He closed and locked the box, and held it solemnly in his hand. Anyone who didn't know would guess that it was empty.

The files in his infighting, no matter for Washington DC or S.H.I.E.L.D., must never be exposed, and it is better to be careful.

"God, aren't you afraid that Washington will kill the donkey?" Wang Dagou smoked shredded tobacco with his sandalwood pipe.

He specially asked someone to customize this tobacco rod. He said that smoking cigars is enough, but it is not enjoyable, and it is more enjoyable to burn shredded tobacco through the tobacco rod.

"What are you afraid of if you have a document? If it is reported, it will be a huge scandal. No one can bear it. Besides, Washington is the mastermind. Will they be so stupid as to betray themselves?"

Although this matter is very risky, it is a golden opportunity for S.H.I.E.L.D.

With the signature and seal of Washington and the military, it is tantamount to tying S.H.I.E.L.D. and Washington together. This contract can at least keep the two sides in check for half a century.

And once the matter is exposed, the first thing to suffer is the reputation of the Federation. Unless Washington and the military have a brain hole, they will reveal this matter to the outside world.

"Tsk tsk, subverting a country, even though it is a colony, is still a country. It's really a big deal." Wang Dagou said playfully with a cigarette stick in his mouth.

"Don't think about it, this kind of thing will happen again in the future. I hope that Washington will come a few more times. By then, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be a private military department, and whoever dares to reach out will chop anyone!"

It seems that Roosevelt did not support 'isolationism,' this Mr. President was as bold as he was ambitious, and even Li Zitao couldn't figure him out.

I believe that it won't be long before Franco will be furious. Whether his rebellious plan can succeed depends on his own luck and luck.
