Chapter 404: Secret War (5)
"Now even the little ones now know that their president is a vile liar who almost sent their father to fight in Europe." George. With a spring breeze on his face, Avison tossed the newspaper in his hand and began to enjoy the day's breakfast.
"The New York stock market has plummeted for two days in a row, and DuPont and Morgan in particular, have lost a lot this time." Sitting next to him is his second brother, Martin, who returned to Chicago from Los Angeles yesterday to attend the company's board meeting this week.
"DuPont chose the wrong partner, and after this scandal was exposed, they completely offended the German side. The Führer didn't seem to be a tolerant man, Rockefeller and the Chicago consortium were going to join forces to snipe at DuPont this time, and it looked like Morgan was ready to abandon the ally, after all, they had more to gain in Europe. "The third Bruce is the company's chief financial officer, and as a family business, everyone has to contribute to the company.
"The Jews finally started to get anxious, and I knew there was a shadow of them behind this." Mike, who had not yet graduated from Yale University and finally became a full-fledged member of Freemasonry this summer, was a fervent conspiracy theorist who made no secret of his overt anti-Semitic tendencies, which oddly enough made him popular with some of the elders in his family.
"Where did you get this news again?" Martin has always doted on this little brother.
"The school students were talking about this, and if the Jews wanted to return to Europe, they had to bring down the Great German Empire. But they can no longer find any allies in Europe, and what country in this world can confront Germany is the great United States of America. So—" Mike clenched his fist and lightly hammered the table.
"It sounds like there's some truth to it, and the people will believe it." Bruce nodded and shoved a piece of omelette into his mouth.
The Avison family is a famous family born and raised in Chicago, and its family history can be traced back to the American Revolutionary War, from a small jeweller who immigrated from Scotland to the New World, and has developed into a family chain jewelry store now.
is well aware of how much sweat and hard work the ancestors have paid for this family business, so as the current head of the family, George. Avison is even more discreet in the industry, walking on thin ice.
In the world economic crisis, the luxury jewelry industry became the hardest hit area, and the Avison family relied on the old Frank. Avison's cautious personality escaped the storm, but the elder Frank also fell ill and died due to overwork during that period, and the responsibility of continuing the family's glory was placed on George's shoulders.
The Avison family is one of the members of the Chicago consortium, and this time George is determined to follow the partners in the consortium and take a hard gamble to completely overthrow the arrogant DuPont. If successful, the Avison family will be among the top giants, and as things stand, he doesn't see any chance of failure.
In fact, at this moment, there are more than one or two local wealthy families who have the same idea as him, and almost half of the plutocratic and wealthy merchant families in North America have been mobilized, and they have concentrated all the forces they can muster, ready to settle the score with Roosevelt and his lackeys.
During his term of office, Roosevelt used all kinds of administrative means to coerce the middle and lower classes in the United States, suppressed these big capital, big enterprises, and big conglomerates for eight years, and used all kinds of tricks to seize the interests that belonged to these capitalists, and finally turned them into his personal political capital.
At that time, a large number of ordinary people who were bewitched by the New Deal were on Roosevelt's side, and at the same time, some of the consortiums that supported the Roosevelt family were on the side, causing most capitalists to be angry and dare not speak out.
But now the situation is different, Roosevelt's supporters have fallen apart at the moment, only a very small number of his hardcore are still supporting the president, and the rest of the ordinary people who originally loved him but were miserably deceived and used have completely fallen to his opposite, and Roosevelt has lost the mass base that has always made him invincible.
Looking back now, I realize that except for a few powerful hardliners in the Republican Party, the remaining group of congressmen in front of Roosevelt could not add up to five, and this group of scum could not see the true face of this man until a week ago.
Look at the secret pact he made with Churchill, look at the plans he made, where this man was as upright and perfect as he appeared, this is simply a cunning top politician, a Machiavellianist through and through, a power animal who will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends, he is not a long-eared hare on the lawn of Washington, but a fox from New York State, a bloodthirsty tiger who breaks into the sheepfold.
He is better at layout than any politician, he will set very clever traps, and often some opposition congressmen who are deceived by his false appearance will not hesitate to jump into those holes, and eventually become Roosevelt's stepping stone, allowing him to easily achieve his original goal.
Roosevelt was a realist, he was always on the side of the odds, and when the isolationists were strong, his rhetoric was more radical than any isolationist, but when he found that foreign interference was more beneficial to him, he immediately turned to the interventionists and reversed his previous statements without blushing.
This is a veteran of talking and talking nonsense, and it's hard to imagine that the bunch of shit in the council almost made him succeed again this time.
If it weren't for the ferocity of the Germans, who killed Britain in seconds without saying a word, the war might have really turned into a long and protracted war as described in his letter to Churchill. And as he said in his reply to Churchill in his letter, once the United States began to support Britain, it was actually equivalent to boarding the warship, and the Germans would not consider it an act of neutrality, as Roosevelt said, he did not declare war, but he could create the danger of war.
The members of the group of congressmen who strongly supported Roosevelt's revision of the Neutrality Act are now about to be swollen in the face, and if they can't come up with enough evidence to clear themselves, they are basically ready to say goodbye to the political arena.
When the scandal broke out, he immediately asked Washington to make representations about the incident, hoping that the United States would explain its behavior in the incident, especially about the secret agreement with Churchill, which was obviously beyond the scope of neutrality.
The German side wishes to know whether His Excellency the President of the United States still holds an anti-German stance that is unacceptable to the German people, and at the same time expresses its indignation at some of his previous hostile remarks against Germany. For example, half a month ago, Mr. Roosevelt made a public speech in Boston, claiming that supporting Britain was as simple as lending a water hose to a neighbor on fire, and the German side thought that this description was very absurd, Britain and Germany were legitimate parties to the war after a formal declaration of war, and in the eyes of the countries that claimed neutrality, the status of the two sides should be equal, and the behavior of the United States was more like two knights in a fair duel, stuffing a pistol into the hands of the inferior knight.
As an experienced diplomat, he knew that at such times, Germany should not show the slightest aggressiveness, but should behave like a victim of a conspiracy, a party to be treated unjustly, so that it would be more resonant with the common people and give pro-German parliamentarians reasons to support Germany.
Roosevelt's henchmen were already in a state of panic, and according to credible sources, the Republican Party would initiate the impeachment of the president at next Monday's congressional session, and as things stand, Roosevelt would not be able to escape the catastrophe.
At the same time, the Republican Party also launched a small-scale infighting, and the one who was besieged was the presidential candidate Wilkie, who was originally in the party, and it was said that the Republican Party obtained some evidence from special channels to confirm that the presidential candidate, who had jumped from the Democratic Party, actually had some private dealings with Roosevelt, and under Roosevelt's single-handedly planned, he created the so-called "Philadelphia Miracle" and hacked the isolationist leader Thomas, who posed a huge threat to Roosevelt's plan. Dewey.
Whether or not these are true is no longer of interest in questioning, because much of Wilkie's previous political ideas overlapped with Roosevelt's political ideas, making it doubtful at a time when conspiracy theories were sweeping the country.
The isolationist wing of the Republican Party was the party that benefited the most from the incident. Dewey will be re-elected as a presidential candidate and, if nothing else, the next president of the United States of America.
