Chapter 860 America is a little messy

In 1933, the Roosevelt administration of the United States put forward a "good-neighborly policy" in order to improve relations with Latin America. In 1934, the U.S. Congress repealed the Pratt Amendment, which intervened in Cuba, and withdrew U.S. troops from Haiti and Nicaragua, while allowing the Philippines to become independent.

The implementation of this policy caused an uproar in the United States, which is undergoing economic recovery.

The "loss" of Haiti and Nicaragua has made many Americans feel the "weakness" of the US government, and allowing the Philippines to become independent is, in the eyes of Americans, an act of inaction on the part of the government.

At the same time, Conwell S. Pitt, a staunch Great Americanist and a prominent political star in the Republican Party, openly criticized the policies of the Roosevelt administration on various occasions.

In Pitt's view, while the Roosevelt administration did make some achievements in the economic field, it was intolerable to abandon Haiti, Nicaragua, and the Philippines, and warned that if this policy continued, the United States would lose its status as a great power.

At the same time, after the Chinese government sent troops to Japan's island of Kyushu, although the US government openly expressed its support, President Roosevelt himself complained on more than one occasion in private that China did not notify the United States before sending troops, and said that "this act is actually aggression"

When President Roosevelt's purely personal speeches were exposed, they quickly caused an uproar in China and the United States, and caused strong protests from the Chinese side.

In November 1934, the Chinese government announced that it would temporarily suspend cooperation with the United States on nine projects because of "certain economic pressures." These include three key trade cooperation projects in the U.S. government's "OSK Plan," a foreign trade effort to restore the U.S. economy.

This once again caused an uproar in the United States and Europe.

On the same day, after the Chinese government made this "painful but helpless" decision, the US stock market suffered a severe setback, and the sustained upward momentum since 1931 was dealt a major blow.

The outside world unanimously believes that these "economic pressures" of the Chinese government can be interpreted as serious dissatisfaction and protest against President Roosevelt's private speech.

President Roosevelt then stated in public that the leak of his private conversations was completely absurd and fabricated by some people with "ulterior motives" to damage his reputation and Sino-US relations

The day after President Roosevelt's public clarification, the Chinese Government issued a statement welcoming President Roosevelt's speech, saying that China believed that the friendship between China and the United States was "unshakable and can withstand any test," and announced that the Chinese side would overcome "all economic difficulties" and resume trade cooperation projects within a month.

This was seen as a "small turmoil" in China's diplomacy, and although the turmoil quickly subsided, it still had a certain impact on relations between the two countries and President Roosevelt's reputation.

His political opponents, the Republicans, certainly did not miss this opportunity, and they began to attack the president in various public and private settings. And began to come up with his uncle, former US President Theodore. Roosevelt once said something to attack Franklin. Roosevelt.

When Franklin. Roosevelt began his foray into politics as a Democrat. He told his Republican uncle Theodore. Roosevelt, the other party angrily scolded: "You despicable little rabbit! You traitor"

"What can a disabled person do? Pushing a wheelchair to negotiate with foreign dignitaries is simply a shame for the United States"

"Maybe this cripple, even the brain is crippled."

These words of direct attack and slander against the person also began to appear in the hall...,

A campaign against the current President of the United States, Benjamin Franklin. Roosevelt's "conspiracy" quietly kicked off.

And at this time, the president of the United States did not know anything about it.

In his opinion, these things that happened before were just some small turmoil in his political career, and they would not rise to the point of a storm at all, and he had the ability and the means to calm these things.

But this time Mr. President was completely wrong!

Once an enemy who previously seemed strong has a flaw, the best option for his enemy is to chase and fight

New York, November 1934.

Emonke. Mr. Nocton was not in a very pleasant mood today. As an accountant at Joy Investments, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the company's accounts.

"Joy Investments" is a large investment firm that emerged after the financial crisis in the United States, specializing in buying and regrouping companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy under the impact of the financial crisis.

Over the years, under the management of the company's president, Mr. Marms, "Joy Investments" has quickly evolved into one of the most dazzling investment companies in New York.

I have to admit that Mr. Mams's judgment, determination and courage have never deviated in all the major investment decisions he has made, and he has made a lot of money every time.

As a veteran accountant who had previously worked in Joy Investments, Aimonke. Mr. Norton considers himself very fortunate to have a job and a good salary to keep his family comfortable despite the financial crisis when a large number of people lost their jobs.

For this, he is full of gratitude to Mr. Mamus, who has enabled and trusted him.

However, in the past two months, he has found that there are some problems with the company's two acquisitions, and there is even a suspicion of making false accounts, in order to falsely increase the stock price of these companies.

Emonke. Nocton was puzzled and worried.

In particular, after the recent news that the company was going to buy "Sacramento Steel", and a series of strange moves after that, Nocton was even more worried

"Aimonke." As Emonk was packing up his things and getting ready to leave work, Mr. Marms, the company's president, suddenly appeared in his office.

"Mr. President, is there something wrong?" Aimink quickly got up and asked.

Mams looked into his office, "Aimunke, go back and change into a beautiful evening dress, there is a special private banquet tonight, you can go with me." ”

Aimunke thought it was very strange.

He is a person with a very regular life, company, family, his life is on the line between these two points. He generally refuses to attend any kind of banquet unless there is anything special.

Therefore, some people say that he is an old-fashioned person, but today, why did Mr. Marms suddenly invite himself to a banquet?

But before Emonk could say anything, Mams had already walked out the door: "Get ready, I'll pick you up at 6 o'clock." ”

Aimunke had no choice but to hurried home and talk to his wife Lisa.

Lisa is the kind of typical housewife who does everything with her husband and her main responsibility is to take care of the family and their two-year-old son.

Aimunke married late and got his son too late, because he also loved his son little Aimunke to the extreme.

At 6 o'clock, Mr. Mams's car appeared on time, and Emonk walked out and opened the door of the car: "Mr. President, what kind of banquet is it today?" ”

"Private banquet, let's get in the car." Mr. Mams smiled. …,

After getting into the car, I realized that Mr. Mams had taken him to a presidential opposition party today.

After President Roosevelt defeated Hoover and was elected president of the United States, a number of opposition groups against him, mainly made up of big financiers, soon formed.

In the United States, the opposition to President Roosevelt is actually very large.

In order to attack the president, these "high society" people even made up all kinds of unbelievable stories!

"'That guy' contracted gonorrhea from his wife Eleanor, and his wife contracted Roosevelt from a black man, and her hair was almost braided, so Eleanor went all over the country to steal men. As soon as he died, his wife planned to hand over the United States to the Russians, and he went to Moscow to learn the Kremlin's secret technique of rooming. Roosevelt's eldest son, James, probably had to stay, he was used to selling insurance, knocking on honest businessmen's bamboo poles, and eating fat and big."

Rumors like this happen every day.

What's the atmosphere like in those "upper-class" country clubs?

What are the appalling things to say at the banker's luncheon, and how the celebrities and noblewomen mutter vicious slander at the banquet?

At that time, some army officers, wearing military uniforms, actually refused to toast to the health of the President of the United States. In the mahogany-clad clubs of the city, old men cursed: "Roosevelt was just another dictator -- just worse than a dictator." ”

"We might as well live in Haiti now."

A bookstore in Boston even informed Bennett, the publisher of the president's book. Roosevelt's speeches, Cerf said, "can only be sold in our store if they are bound with a cover of his own skin." ”

Roosevelt was not unaware of the existence of these people, and he once said that the hatred of these people was welcome, but people like him would not be happy that someone had caused public anger, let alone himself and his family.

The president has told journalist Norman . Thomas said he was saving capitalism and expressed his dissatisfaction with the criticism of the capitalists.

At a news conference, he quietly took out the "inside news" distributed by a certain national news agency for the reference of the editors of various newspapers and circulated it to everyone, and did not express his opinion.

It turns out that this "news" is saying that the president does have syphilis!
