Chapter Seventy-Six: A Day in Prison

Chapter subtitled: PY Trades Coming Early

To make a statement: No matter what those trolls say, Murong is still very hilarious when he writes. So rest assured, I won't deliberately hit the red line and cause 404. I'm just complaining because I'm a dead star if I don't complain.

"Mr. Roosevelt, John, how do you ......?"

As soon as Master Yuan asked this, he was interrupted by Mr. McCall: "Neo, they have dropped the charges against you. ”

"Drop the charge?"

It's a long life, and there is still this kind of operation?!

"Yes, Mr. Yuan." FDR nodded and shrugged, "The prosecution said that although you violated Prohibition, the circumstances were minor and extenuating, so ......"

"Mr. Yuan, you are free now."

"No......" Yuan Yanqian shook her head and said, "If they don't charge me, then I'll sue Virginia!" ”

He looked up at the two lawyers and said, "What name do you say is good?" ”

"This ......" Roosevelt and McCall looked at each other, and at the same time looked embarrassed.

John stepped forward and whispered, "Neo, my father called me last night......"

His father was also a barrister specializing in contract law, which led to the marriage of the daughter of the owner of the New York Life Company. The father and son founded a law firm, McCall & Sons.

"He asked me to advise you, don't be so attached to some things." Mr. McCall glanced at FDR and said in a quieter voice, "Mr. Roosevelt may have received such a call." ”

Someone actually doesn't let Lao Tzu pretend to be forced, that's really unbearable for uncles and aunts!

Annoyed and angry, Master Yuan stared closely into the eyes of his personal lawyer, and said hatefully: "John, you tell me the truth, who won't let me pretend to be ...... Hmm, to get this going on? ”

"My father didn't tell me......," John scratched his head, "or ask Mr. Roosevelt." ”

So Yuan Yanqian turned his gaze to FDR, who coughed and said, "Mr. Yuan, Mr. Hughes called me......"

Master Yuan blurted out, "Charles-Evans-Hughes?" ”

FDR nodded and said lightly, "That's right, it's Mr. Secretary of State." ”

"What does this have to do with him?" Yuan Yanqian was a little confused. He really didn't understand how this matter could be related to Mr. Secretary of State.

I only heard Roosevelt say vaguely: "Maybe he was more concerned about Prohibition......"

Next, his tone was a little rusty, and he even said in a somewhat commanding tone: "Anyay, Mr. Yuan, this matter must end here!" ”

Yuan Yanqian, who realized it later, realized at this time that this benevolent brother's tone was much colder today, and his attitude was even more distant. Could it be ......

When he understood it, he was angry and funny in his heart, and it was really because of the blows that Roosevelt, this guy, and Hughes, the old guy, actually made a PY deal so early.

Why is this so important to the Blowers?

Because in the original timeline, Roosevelt, as the general in 1937, and Hughes, then chief justice of the Supreme Court, would make a PY deal.

As everyone knows, after FDR came to power, he carried out a Roosevelt New Deal, that is, to use macroeconomic control to overcome the shortcomings of the free market, which naturally violated the liberal principles that the United States has always adhered to since its founding.

So the "Roosevelt New Deal" was strongly resisted in the Supreme Court. These old guys cling to what they have believed for many years, insisting on laissez-faire capitalism, insisting on strict limits on the power of the government, and insisting on the inviolability of private property and almost complete freedom of contract.

They risked their condemnation and ruled again and again that Roosevelt had enacted a series of bills, such as the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Just Labor Standards Act, the Industrial Recovery Act, and so on, as unconstitutional. The Archmaster, however, could only watch as the nine elders of the Supreme Court snuffed out the national reform plan he had so vigorously advocated.

In 1937, the fodder FDR came up with a plan called "Stuffing the Court". Under this plan, the president could nominate another judge to replace any federal judge over the age of 70 who has not yet retired. The Federal Supreme Court is no exception. At the time, six of the nine justices of the Supreme Court were over 70 years old.

This is the first and only time in the history of the American presidency that the principle of separation of powers has been challenged.

Assuming that the plan was successful, and the Democratic-majority Senate and House of Representatives cooperated, Roosevelt could decide on the six justices and thus take full control of the Supreme Court. If the Senate and the House of Representatives had behaved a little more, then he would have been able to attribute the legislative, judicial, and executive powers to one person!

It is a pity that the first step of the American Soviet Union died before it could be taken.

Therefore, if our Master Yuan did not have the "Master Ball" with him, he would be able to spread out and become a "Master Ball", USAS and Red Blue Star may not be just a wild dream......

"Pickup pickup."

What Inblis heard, however, was that after that, Chief Justice Hughes consistently agreed with the government in his 27 precedents on the social legislation of the New Deal, and his vote was always the one that played a key role.

You know, Charles Evans-Hughes has always presented himself as a moderate conservative. There is no PY transaction behind this, and Yuan Yanqian definitely doesn't believe it.

And his arrival made the PY transaction of these two happen in advance!

Forget it, PY trading is PY trading, and Master Yuan can't care about it.

As for the "betrayal" of the FDR...... Since you are unkind, then I am unjust.

I'll let your brother lie in bed for a while longer, and by the way, I'll have more blood.

"I see." Yuan Yanqian, who had made up her mind, nodded and asked very calmly, "Mr. Roosevelt, do you have anything else to explain?" ”

FDR groaned for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Yuan, there are many reporters waiting outside the door. Personally, I would like you to be more restrained in your statements. ”

“OK!” Our Master Yuan put on his top hat and walked out the door without looking back.

And there was a large group of reporters outside the police station, and when they saw him come out, they naturally rushed up.

"Mr. Yuan, what do you want to say to Lieutenant Colonel Alexander as the winner of this duel?"

"I want to say, I can't fight, you can't drink."

"Mr. Yuan, what is your comment on being arrested and released this time?"

"I want to say ......"

“Drink hisky, alk Justy。”

"'Drink whiskey and do what is right.' It is one of Mr. Yuan Yanqi's most popular golden sentences, and the mere four words show his amazing literary attainments. Later, Johnnie Alker &SONS paid a lot of money to buy the copyright of this sentence, which has become the company's advertising slogan to this day. ”

Mr. Yuan uttered this phrase on the same day he was arrested and released for violating Prohibition. With this phrase, he not only expressed his indignation at being innocently imprisoned, but also criticized the American judicial authorities in a very subtle way. This kind of lyricism is wonderful. ”

"Mr. Yuan is not the only writer in history who can write in multiple languages, but he is the only language wizard whose works in multiple languages are regarded as classics. He is also the only person to have been awarded two Nobel Prizes in Literature for his works in both English and Chinese. ”

Someone once asked him how he could become proficient in multiple languages, and his answer was very funny, which basically means that in order to learn these languages well, you need to communicate closely with the speakers of the opposite sex.
