Chapter 410: Secret War (1)

"So, it's just a business, and there's no need to worry about it." Welbe pushed a velvet bag towards the senator.

"You know, Mr. Spear, I'm going to take a big risk." The old politician in his sixties untied the tether at the mouth of the bag, turned over the bottom of the bag and poured out a small handful of diamonds.

"Your term is coming to an end, and I think you know better than me how much you hope of being re-elected in the next election. It's time for you to start planning for your retirement, Mr. Rune, who knows what the future holds. Verbey lowered her head and played with the shiny gold cuffs on her cuffs.

"But... Spear, they're probably going to find someone to deal with me. ”

"Of course they're going to find someone to deal with you, and that's what we want to see. As for your personal safety, you can rest assured that you and your family will be safe until it's all over. Verbay pulled a card from the inside pocket of his suit and held it between his fingers and handed it to Senator Rune.

"If there is any special need, you can call this number, Mr. Senator." Then the intelligence officer stood up and bowed respectfully to the other party.

"My people will keep in touch with you at all times, and if nothing else, I'll take my leave, and I'll have Congressman Vincent with me for lunch."

"You're going to keep the deal." The senator stood up and asked eagerly.

"Of course, Mr. Senator, of course." Verbe smiled and put on his top hat.

Seeing the boss walk out of the councilor's office, the assistant who was waiting at the door of the office stepped forward and took the briefcase from Verbey.

"It's all going well, head." The assistant asked.

"Don't talk about this here, be careful that the wall has ears." Verbe straightened his tie and whispered a rebuke to his men.

"I'm sorry." The assistant hurriedly carefully checked left and right, and found that no one noticed them.

"Don't look around, get to the car." Verbe strode towards the exit of the hallway.

Forty years of the United States of America is much worse than most readers think. The shadow of the Great Depression has been hanging over the country, and although there are songs and dances in the market, it cannot cover the poverty of the people at the bottom.

Although Roosevelt's heavy tax policy curbed the deficit, it also curbed the normal business operation in the country, and the big entrepreneurs were no longer willing to invest in new projects, the whole social development fell into a hopeless stagnation, and the infrastructure construction in many areas even showed serious regression.

Roosevelt claimed that there would be butter bread and meat on every family table, and most Americans saw only potatoes. The United States has the strongest oil industry in the world, but ordinary people cannot afford to consume gasoline for daily use.

Domestic car sales in the United States have plummeted, and automakers have become keen to produce luxury custom models because of the low production, low labor, easy cost control, and the fact that consumers are wealthy and can guarantee sufficient profits.

So much so that in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century, it was the era of the proliferation of luxury cars in the United States, and a large number of luxury custom cars with exquisite appearance and outstanding performance appeared, and the output was often only in double digits, and only the top wealthy in Europe and the United States were qualified to ask for it.

Factories and enterprises are frantically cutting costs, workers' rights and interests are not guaranteed at all, guilds are being suppressed by the government and enterprises, and the capitalists even do not hesitate to mobilize the state apparatus to suppress the workers' movement by force.

In order to cover up the failure of the New Deal, Roosevelt used administrative means to control public opinion, and even did not hesitate to openly lie and deceive the public. He knew very well that once he stepped down, the Republicans who took over him would never be polite to him, and all the truths he had tried to cover up before would be exposed to the public, and the prestige and reputation accumulated by the Roosevelt family would be lost forever.

He and Churchill were the same kind of people, stubborn and self-respecting, who valued their reputation more than their own lives. This is the real reason why Roosevelt gave up the idea of retirement at the last minute, broke the habit of previous presidents of the United States, and tried to seek a third term.

He also wanted to make a final struggle, looking forward to another four years to continue to complete his new policy, and he refused to admit defeat and that his policies were deeply flawed.

Historically, it was World War II that saved his reputation, and Roosevelt became a great man in history by turning attention to the president's exploits in the war and deliberately ignoring his poor performance in the previous eight years of office.

The outbreak of war in Europe gave Roosevelt a glimmer of hope, and he was keenly aware of the possible impact of the war on American society. In particular, in terms of the economy, the government cannot control ordinary economic production, but if it is a government order, the government can stimulate the production of various military supplies according to its needs at will.

Shifting weak civilian enterprises to military production can not only provide a large number of jobs, but also stimulate the vigorous development of the entire industrial chain. If possible, the entire state system will be able to be mobilized, the contradictions within society will be transferred, and all questions will be answered in the service of war.

Becoming the arsenal of the free world was only the first step in Roosevelt's ambitions, what he wanted was to personally participate in a world war, in his opinion there was no possibility of defeat for the United States, he would gain a great reputation beyond his uncle, and at that time, who would care about the New Deal.

In history, Roosevelt won the bet, and he almost became the president of the United States for four consecutive terms, and for a long time, no one dared to say anything bad about this president, because he was the symbol of American victory in World War II.

But now, history has been completely changed by Xu Jun, and before Roosevelt's plan can be launched, the war in Europe is over. What makes the president even more unsettling is that his opponents are colluding with each other, as if they are plotting something against him, and he has used all the means to get to the bottom of it.

"The conservatives of the Democratic Party are actually some kind of people who tend to be inflammatory. See, Rudy, this is the politics of American mouths. Welbay sat in the back seat of a 1937 HP XII luxury four-door sedan, with an ivory cigarette holder trimmed with silver trim in his mouth.

"My dear, Congressman Vincent's wife took a fancy to a pink pearl necklace last time, and I've asked the clerk to wrap it." Lucia leaned against the window and laughed, the beauty was wearing a black silk tight-fitting gown at the moment, and the pink and white on her chest almost blinded Verbe's dog eyes.

"You're so capable, my dear." Verbe opened the shopping bag in the back seat and looked at the gift box inside.

"Head, shall we go straight to the restaurant now?" The assistant sitting in the passenger seat of the sedan asked.

"Take a few more turns around the neighborhood to see if anyone is watching, the FBI is very active during this time." Verbe replied with a calm face.

"Yes, head." The assistant respectfully accepted the order and closed the partition window between the cab and the back seat.
