Washington, White House. President Roosevelt's hearty laughter came from inside the Oval Office.

But Truman, who sat across from President Roosevelt, couldn't laugh at all. Because the major newspapers in the United States put Joseph. Photos of Kennedy firing missiles with a pistol hit the front page, accompanied by editorials full of praise, were definitely not a good thing for Truman's campaign.

Because this represents the public opinion orientation of the United States, after the missile attack, it still supports the war against Germany, and it is highly consistent! And behind this high degree of consistency of mainstream public opinion, there is obviously the black gold of the chaebol at work.

But no matter how much money the U.S. plutocrats spend on these newspapers, most Americans will still trust these newspapers and will be swayed by their editorials, commentaries, and news.

If the White House goes against the will of the people and agrees to the harsh terms of peace offered by the Germans, it will really become a traitor to the United States.

At that time, not only will Truman not be elected president, but even the Democratic Party will encounter Waterloo in the election of congressmen......

If the Democratic Party collapses, the interests involved will be great, and I don't know how many political families of the Democratic Party who have been famous since the 19th century will smash their ancestral golden jobs -- of course, there are various families in the liberal and democratic United States, and Truman himself is from a family, and he is the 10th president of the United States, John Brown. Taylor's great-nephew. The Founding Fathers of the United States were opposed to the monopoly of power by one family from generation to generation, not to the co-governance of a bunch of families. Historically, before Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected president in 1952, American politics was considered the "classical political era."

"Mr. President," Truman frowned, "no matter how good Kennedy is, he will not be able to reverse the current decline of the Democratic Party." According to Gallup polls, we are not only behind in the presidential election, but also at a disadvantage in the election of members of Congress. If we don't go along with the will, then after the election in early November, both the White House and Capitol Hill will fall into Republican hands! And our Democratic Party may not only lose control of the White House and Congress, but may even slip from the status of one of the two major political parties in the United States to a small and medium-sized party similar to the National Fascist Party and the Bolshevik Party! ”

Truman wasn't alarmist! Political parties such as the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are different from the well-organized parties such as the Nazi Party, the Fascist Party, and the Bolshevik Party. Once a political idea loses the approval of voters, it can disintegrate very quickly.

According to the latest polls, the US Democratic Party's advantage in the seven "iron-voted states" in the South is shaking, and voters who originally supported the Democratic Party are being attracted to the National Fascist Party. If the Democratic Party fails to change in time and has to bear the responsibility of seeking peace in defeat, then it is very likely that the party will suffer the worst defeat since the Civil War in the seven southern states!

"Harry!" Roosevelt's tone suddenly became very serious, he said: "We are Americans first, American politicians, and then a Democrat." It is not only the Democratic Party that is now in crisis, but also the United States of America. It just so happened that at the time of this crisis, we Democrats were still in control of the White House and Capitol Hill. And this means not only power, but also great responsibility! We must be accountable to do the right thing and lead America out of the crisis...... And then there are the interests of the Democrats themselves!

The Democratic Party, no, no American political party has the right to put its own interests above the national interests of the United States! ”

Hearing Roosevelt's statement, Truman's heart pounded - something was wrong! It seems that the stubborn Roosevelt did what he thought was right, but what other Americans thought was wrong......

"Mr. President," Harry said. Truman could not bear to see his former idol Roosevelt go further and further down the right path, "What you think is right may not be right in the eyes of other Americans...... For example, you led the United States out of isolationism. ”

"I was wrong that time!" Roosevelt gave Truman a blank look, "But this time, I'm right, the United States is fighting a war that is doomed to defeat and has the potential to cause huge losses." This war must stop, and it is during my term of office. ”

"President......" Truman shook his head, and wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Roosevelt waving his hand: "Harry, this is what I must do, and this is what the Democrats must do." Even if the Democrats and I will pay a huge price for this, we must do it unwaveringly. ”

"Even if you lose most of the gains of the New Deal?" Truman asked.

Roosevelt's brow furrowed, a look of pain on his sickly flushed face, and then he quickly regained his composure.

"Yes!" Roosevelt said, "Even if I were to zero the gains of the New Deal, I would drag America out of a catastrophic war." ”

Speaking of this, Roosevelt looked at Truman seriously again, "Harry, I know what you're worried about, you're worried that the American people don't understand what I'm going to do...... This is actually because they do not know the truth, and they think that the United States still has a chance to win. So I decided to hold Senate investigative hearings in the coming days, just before the vote in the presidential and congressional elections. At the hearing, I will testify with the leaders of the U.S. military to explain to all senators that the United States is facing an extremely disadvantageous position in a world war and that peace is the best way forward.

And after this congressional hearing, I will address the people of the United States, openly and honestly tell them about the plight facing the country, and ask them to support my truce and peace plan. ”

Hearing this, Truman already knew that he could not be the president of the United States, and that the entire Democratic Party would also be demoralized after this election.

Because no matter how reasonable Roosevelt was in his testimony and speech before Congress, the Republicans, the National Fascists, and the Bolshevik Party would not miss an opportunity to attack him and the Democrats. Moreover, the major newspapers and periodicals in the United States will certainly find loopholes in this and attack them in a big way.

As for the plan of the Democratic Party and the fascist party to form an alliance to consolidate the seven iron-voted states, there is no need to think about it. Now the Democratic Party has made it clear that they want to carry the black pot (this pot was originally created by the Democratic Party, who will they not carry?). The National Fascist Party is full of food and goes to bear the blame with the Democrats?

Without the cooperation of the National Fascist Party, the basic base of the Democratic Party in the southern United States would be shaken, and it seems that in the 1944 election, the Democratic Party lost not only the presidential throne, but also its own foundation in American politics!

……

"Mr. President, former President Hoover has arrived."

Before Truman, who had lost his soul, Colonel Carton walked into the Oval Office and told Roosevelt that former Republican President Herbert Hoover, who had lost the 1932 election, had come to visit him.

Former President Hoover and Roosevelt did not have a good relationship, and the political views of the two sides were even more opposed, he was a conservative in the Republican Party -- the so-called conservatives probably meant "opposing Roosevelt" during the more than 10 years that Roosevelt was in power, and they opposed whatever Roosevelt supported, and they supported whatever Roosevelt opposed.

Roosevelt wanted to expand fiscal spending to stimulate the economy, they opposed Roosevelt's desire to increase taxes on capitalists, Roosevelt's desire to support trade unions, Roosevelt's desire to expand armaments and warfare, and Roosevelt's support for Britain against the Nazis, they were even more opposed.

Although Hoover chose to retire after losing the election, he still gave advice to the conservatives of the Republican Party behind the scenes, and he was regarded as the chief military adviser of the conservatives behind the scenes, and he was also a political enemy with Roosevelt.

When Roosevelt was bedridden, many leading Republican figures, including Dewey, visited the White House, but Hoover did not show up. Now that Roosevelt has "recovered", Hoover came to the White House to visit his patients, naturally not out of his relationship with Roosevelt, he came to touch Roosevelt's hole cards!

"Okay, ask him in." Roosevelt quickly guessed Hoover's intentions, smiled, and ordered Colonel Caton to lead his old rival into the Oval Office.

"Hey, Herbert," Roosevelt beckoned at his old rival, "you're pretty good-looking, much better than mine." ”

"I don't have as many nerve-wracking things as you." Hoover held out his right hand and shook Roosevelt, then sat down in an armchair. Soon, a White House secretary brought him fragrant coffee, while Roosevelt was given a glass of water and a few useless pills.

Roosevelt swallowed the pill and water, then said to Hoover with a wry smile: "I can only drink water and milk now, and I can't touch coffee, alcohol, or cigarettes." ”

"That's for your health."

"Yes, I have to stay in good health, because the United States still needs me, and only I can get the United States out of the war at the lowest possible cost."

"You've decided you want to quit?"

"Yes."

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place?"

Roosevelt shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "I was wrong!" I didn't expect those Germans to be so capable of fighting, and I didn't expect that there would be such a crazy weapon as nuclear fission bombs in the world...... Herbert, do you know what that is? ”

"I know."

"Then do you know that the United States can't fight anymore?"

"I don't know." Hoover shook his head, "I'm just a reclusive Republican who doesn't know much. ”

Roosevelt laughed, he knew what Hoover's words meant. He asked: "If the main responsibility for the defeat lies with me and the Democrats, will you understand and support this decision?" ”
