Chapter 0717: Dirty Work in Washington
The general election has come to the end of the party caucuse, and the Democratic Party naturally chooses Roosevelt to be re-elected, while the Republican Party has put forward an old guy who is about to retire.
Although the list of candidates will not be announced to the public for more than a dozen days, as long as there is no change, there will be no change between the two parties.
The Republican Party, in particular, is very aware that their candidates are running along, and even the American public understands this.
Because they all believed that Roosevelt would continue to lead the United States forward, maintain economic growth, and return them to the roaring era of the '20s.
When it comes to putting forward candidates, the Republican Party has a hard time putting forward a person who has enough weight and cannot be a seedling with real potential to run for president.
Any politician who wants to run in the general election and live in Washington will avoid the stain of losing the election.
Moreover, the first general election is often the best result, and the second election to Washington has not yet appeared.
So they put forward a legislator who is prestigious, and who is about to retire, and for him this election will be his last political stage.
His mission is to accompany the general election, conduct roadshows to promote the Republican Party's governing philosophy, and meet with supporters everywhere to keep them confident in the Republican Party.
It was a great experience for him to be able to enjoy a general election before he retired.
The general election in the United States is in full swing, and the war-torn Africa has once again set off a new war, and the peaceful West Africa has become a second battlefield.
The Spanish garrisons stationed in Morocco and the Canary Islands in West Africa rebelled under the instigation of generals led by Franco.
A total of 120,000 Army and Air Force members were involved in the rebellion, as were the Foreign Legion, which consisted of about 50,000 Moroccans.
While the government was still hesitating, the rebels quickly occupied the main Moroccan cities and launched an attack on the Spanish mainland through Gibraltar as soon as possible.
Morocco and Spain were separated only by Gibraltar, and Franco decided to use Morocco as the rear and then attack Spain to seize national power.
And they have already achieved initial results, and in 13 days, they have occupied the northern and southwestern provinces of Spain, intending to form a north-south attack on the capital Madrid.
In a speech in Madrid, President Manuel strongly criticized the Spanish National Party for its treason, which could divide the country and seek individual rights.
He also called on people of all classes throughout the country to take up the weapons in their hands and join the Popular Front for the sake of national stability and territorial unity, and to eliminate these rebels who were in rebellion.
Manuel's speech still had some power, and soon a total of 300,000 people joined the Popular Front, setting off a war to defend the homeland in various places, and beat the vanguard of the rebels back.
At this point, it is impossible to end in the short term, and the next thing is to fight the offensive and defensive battles, and see who has the stronger power in the end.
As the country's president, Manuel asked the League of Nations for help, hoping that Britain and France could help him quell the civil unrest.
90% of the territory of West Africa is a French colony, and if France is willing to send troops to cooperate with Manuel and kick the rebels in the ass from the southeast of Morocco, the offensive of the Spanish National Front will collapse like a sandcastle.
When the time comes, the two sides will first destroy the rebels in southwestern Spain, and then let the freed People's Front solve the rebels in the north, and this civil strife will naturally end.
At first, the French government would discuss the matter at the request of the Spanish government, but before they could reach a result, the government stepped down.
Manuel was so made laughing that he again ordered the embassy to consult with the new government on the matter, but he had little hope that France would help.
Can a government that is unable to stabilize the domestic political situation expect it to do anything effective to help?
Rather than trusting the governors of West Africa and the generals who commanded the army, Manuel's men rushed to the French West African colonies overnight with the terms he had given.

"The dwarf is going 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 valued and respected Wang Dagou, his proud henchmen Hans and George, and Wang Kui, who was in charge of security in Osborne and was recently recalled by him.
"Boss, wouldn't it be too risky to do this?" Thinking of Li Zitao's plan, Hans's back broke out in a cold sweat.
The confidential file to be handed over to Washington in his hand was as heavy as a mountain, which made Hans feel a little pressured and a rare sense of excitement.
"We'll do the dirty work, let Washington choose a good agent, and don't be killed together when the time comes. Li Zitao said to Hans.
Everything that should be talked about is written in the plan, and from now on he will gradually release the fangs and minions of the beast 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'s.
"Understood. Finding that Li Zitao had made up his mind, Hans put the briefcase on the table to prepare for the documents, opened the box and thought about it, and stuffed the documents into his inner pocket.
"It's still like this, then I'll go first. "Close and lock the box, and solemnly hold it in your hand, who doesn't know who can guess that it is empty.
The files in his infighting, whether for Washington or S.H.I.E.L.D., must not be exposed, and it is better to be careful.
"Dog, aren't you afraid that Washington will unload the mill and kill the donkey?" Wang Dagou smoked with his sandalwood pipe.
This cigarette stick was specially customized by him, saying that he had smoked enough cigars, but it was not enjoyable, and it was still the pleasure of burning tobacco with the cigarette stick.
"What are you afraid of if you have documents, if you report it, it will be a big scandal, no one can bear it, and besides, Washington is the mastermind, will they be stupid enough to betray themselves?"
Although this matter is very risky, it is a once-in-a-lifetime time for S.H.I.E.L.D.
With the signatures and seals of Washington and the military, it is equivalent to tying S.H.I.E.L.D. and Washington together, and this contract can keep the two sides in check for at least half a century.
And once the matter is revealed, the first thing to suffer is the credibility of the Federation, unless Washington and the military have a hole in their brains, and the matter will be exposed.
"Tsk, subverting a country, although it is a colony, but it is also a country, what a big deal. Wang Dagou said playfully with a cigarette stick.
"Don't think about it, this kind of thing will happen in the future, I hope that Washington will come a few more times, and then S.H.I.E.L.D. will be a private military department, and whoever dares to reach out will chop whom!"
It seems that Roosevelt did not support 'isolationism,' and that Mr. President was as bold as he was ambitious, and even Li Zitao could not guess him.
I believe that it will not be long before Franco will be furious, and whether his rebellious plan can succeed depends on his own creation and luck.
