Chapter 431 Roosevelt's Problem

Germany failed in World War I. As a defeated country, the conditions were very difficult. Some people who were already very wealthy in Germany began to emigrate, and their destination was the United States!

Every war will bring a large number of immigration peaks. After the First World War, many Germans immigrated to the United States. In their hearts, they carried the shame of the First World War.

Until Hitler came to power, Germany gradually became stronger, and some of the immigrants returned to Germany. For example, Rick, who loved flying, and his lover returned to Germany. He has grown into an excellent pilot of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft.

There are still some people who have not returned to China, but in their hearts, they are thinking about the motherland.

Historically, after 1933, the number of Germans who returned to the Reich greatly increased.

But historically, this was also accompanied by a wave of immigration, with a large number of Jews leaving Germany for the United States.

But now, the situation is different. Under Cyric's suggestion, Germany relies on pure Aryans as its spiritual sustenance, and does not slaughter Jews indiscriminately. As long as it contributes to the empire, it can continue to work and even be awarded to Aryans. The title of man, which indeed attracted a large number of Jewish elites, continued to stay in Germany.

And most of the immigrants who remained in the United States after World War I supported the current Third Reich!

This created a wave, and now, in Congress, this wave has managed to make a big wave!

British, want to lease American warships? no way!

The debate in Congress was going on fiercely, and the whole day passed like this. In the evening, Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who was present at the Congress, returned to the White House with a look of exhaustion.

"It looks like it's not going well." Roosevelt, sitting in a wheelchair and smoking a big cigar, said to Hull.

Hull and Roosevelt were already old partners. Back then, Roosevelt chose Hull as his assistant as soon as he came to power. The situation at that time was quite severe, and the United States was going through an economic crisis.

After Hull took office, he fully supported Roosevelt's "New Deal" in order to minimize the losses caused by the world economic crisis in the United States.

Roosevelt used him to implement foreign policy to quell the criticism and dissatisfaction of some monopoly capitalists on the "New Deal" reforms. The two worked closely together, Roosevelt was re-elected for four terms, and Hull became the longest-serving Secretary of State in American history, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945.

Now, Hull was one of Roosevelt's most important staff, and the look on his face said it all.

If you want to lease warships to the United Kingdom, I am afraid it will not be possible.

"The British would really think such a bad idea to go to air strikes on oil bases in Libya. This is simply the rhythm of a complete war in Europe." Army Chief of Staff George Marshall said.

Now, the United States has not yet established the Department of Defense. The chief of staff of the army is already the highest-ranked person in the army. Marshall's eyes are full of worry.

Europe is not calm again!

Germany and the United Kingdom acted directly, which means the outbreak of a new world war, and the United Kingdom simply added fuel to the fire, and went to air raid on Libya!

Historically, after the outbreak of World War II, the United States did not immediately enter the war. Some people in China advocate avoiding war with all their strength, while others advocate active participation in war.

General Marshall believed that the United States was bound to be involved in the war, whether it wanted to or not. And as the Army Chief of Staff, it is his duty to actively prepare for battle. He supported President Roosevelt's strategy of aid to Britain. He thought the British were buying time for the United States to prepare.

And now, Marshall also has the same idea. The problem is that he needs someone to support him.

In the United States, it is not the few of them who have the final say. Those members of Congress are representatives of various monopoly consortia, and they are the ones who truly influence the United States!

The air strike on Libya brought in Italy, and at the same time, it also made the United States suffer a loss. Now, let the United States support British warships? There's a lot of noise in Congress!

The current situation in the United States is very difficult. No matter what we do, it will damage the interests of some people.

The President of the United States seems to be supreme, but in fact, the President of the United States is just a spokesperson for the American capitalists!

President of the United States, can't do whatever he wants, especially, can't damage the interests of too many capitalists! For Americans, the president is elected by them, in fact, by the monopoly capitalists.

The president of the United States must first represent the interests of the monopoly capitalists. If this is not the case, then the end of the president of the United States will also be miserable. If you can tolerate it, you can tolerate it for a while, and you can wait until the presidential election and change to a new president.

If it can't be tolerated, it's simple, just kill it directly. Over the years, more than one president has been assassinated in the United States.

Especially now, the general election in the United States is coming soon, and whether Roosevelt can succeed in the election depends on his various political attitudes.

In the past, many people believed that it was because of World War II that Roosevelt was re-elected for four terms, and the last term was still in office. In fact, it had nothing to do with World War II at all.

Most importantly, be thick-skinned!

When the United States was just established, the founding leader, Washington, served for two terms, then he came down and refused to run for president again. Therefore, there is a tradition handed down in the United States that the president only takes two rounds, and then retire.

However, this is just a tradition, not written into the constitution!

Since Washington, the president of the United States has not been thick-skinned enough. After serving for two terms, he will come down. Only Roosevelt is different.

When Roosevelt first took office, he ushered in a mess. The American economy was about to collapse. As a result, Roosevelt successfully pulled the United States back.

Roosevelt's outstanding achievements in his first term made the Democratic Party a "reform" party in the eyes of Americans, and Roosevelt became a "reform" standard-bearer.

So, amid a chorus of praise, the Democrats and Roosevelt ushered in the 1936 election. With 98 percent of the vote, Roosevelt was second only to Washington and Monroe as one of the presidents with the highest electoral votes.

The next presidential election will be in 40 years. Although the war is cloudy, the United States has not yet joined in. At this time, Roosevelt stood up cheekily and continued to participate in the presidential election amid an uproar.

As a result, with 55% of the votes, the election was successful again.

It can be seen that although it was successful, it was only reluctantly, not as dazzling as the second time.

The last time, Roosevelt's vote rate was only 53%. It can be seen that although Roosevelt led the United States and won World War II, he did not completely win the trust of Americans.

And now, if Roosevelt wants to run for the next president, he must deal with the current problem!
