As a consequence of the narrowness of the market, American companies, which are naturally accustomed to making a lot of money, suddenly have a feeling of being tight on cash. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The repeal of the National Labor Relations Act has allowed large cash-strapped U.S. companies to reduce costs by drastically depressing the incomes of U.S. workers.

And the measures adopted by large companies to reduce wages and costs are naturally effective at the micro level - whoever does not do this will surely collapse first in the increasingly fierce competition! However, at the macro level, the already small US market has shrunk even more.

After all, the working class in the United States is also a consumer! The pockets of the working class are deflated day by day, which means that the spending power of American consumers is becoming more and more weak, and the domestic market of the United States is becoming more and more narrow. The contraction of the market has further increased the pressure on American companies to cut costs, and this pressure is naturally passed on to workers (consumers), which has formed a downward spiral of the economy......

MacArthur, the "heroic president" of the United States, was faced with economic difficulties, but there was nothing he could do. He wanted to turn over Roosevelt's old methods and build infrastructure on a large scale, but in the 50s, because of the failed world war and the subsequent huge reparations, the United States was already burdened with an astronomical national debt (totaling hundreds of billions of dollars), and it was still under the pressure of capital outflow year after year. Even if MacArthur is not afraid of excessive debt, the US Congress will not raise the government's debt ceiling by a large margin -- the US Congress in the 50s was very conservative on the issue of borrowing, and no foreign institution will buy US bonds for tens of billions of dollars now, and if it really issues Treasury bonds indiscriminately, interest rates will rise sharply.

As for the Fed's direct intervention, it is also not possible to do so, because the Fed has already released money after 1946 through the purchase of Treasury bonds (this is to raise reparations), thus driving down the purchasing power of the dollar. And this time the depreciation of the dollar has caused the American people to suffer a lot of losses, and their trust in the dollar is not as good as before.

If the Fed takes the same steps now, it is likely that the infrastructure funds have not yet been raised, and the dollar has come to another big crash.

So during the more than nine years of MacArthur's administration, the US economy has been struggling in a downward channel. And the reason why MacArthur was able to achieve three consecutive terms like Roosevelt was because of the rapid rise of fascism in the United States.

The National Socialist Party of the United States, founded by Truman and Kennedy, has now taken most of the territory of the original Democratic Party, and has taken advantage of the economic downturn and the growing poverty of the workers to expand its influence among the working people - after all, the German Nazi Party and the Italian (Rome) National Fascist Party seem to have quite a solution!

Under the circumstance that the National Socialist Party of the United States is in full swing, MacArthur, who is supported by the Republican Party, has become the "co-master" of the anti-fascist factions in the United States in the presidential election. So supporters of both the Workers' Party and the Republican Party gave their votes to MacArthur, which allowed him to wartime Lindbergh three times.

However, presidential elections are different from parliamentary elections and local elections. The Workers' Party's support for MacArthur as president does not mean that it supports Republican control of parliament and localities. So when MacArthur, the great president, reached his third term, he was an out-and-out lame president.

And Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House has become a big stage for protesters of all factions to take turns on the stage.

The troublemakers who are here today are the Labour Party and trade union forces that supported MacArthur in the presidential election because MacArthur did not fulfill his campaign promise to reinstate the National Labor Relations Act.

Of course, Wallace, the leader of the Labour Party, knew that MacArthur would not be able to fulfill his promise, but in order to confront Lindbergh, who made the same promise, Wallace had to make MacArthur write a blank check. In the same way, in order to keep his basic plate, he must also take the lead in making trouble after MacArthur breaks his promise......

In fact, it's all full of routines!

However, this kind of routine can fool the American people, but it cannot change the collapse of the American economy. And to save the American economy...... MacArthur had to fly to Germania, the capital of the United Aryan States, to meet Rudolph. Hess, this Nazi is discussing the issue of Atlantic economic integration!

"Let's go!" MacArthur sighed and said to Dulles, "It's a trap, and we have to jump with our eyes closed, or the crisis of the Great Depression is coming!" ”

The "trap" that MacArthur spoke of was Rudolph. Hess's Atlantic Tariffs and Trade Agreement. According to this envisaged "agreement", the United States will be accepted into the Aryan economic circle as a whole, thus forming a super Aryan free trade circle across the Atlantic, accounting for more than 80% of the world's GDP.

This means that the United States will soon be free to enter a market that has never been seen before!

Such a prospect is really hot for the eyes of large and small conglomerates, farmers, and some working people in the United States, who are suffering from the continuous economic downturn.

So knowing that it was a trap, MacArthur boarded Air Force One, which was converted from a B-29D long-range bomber, and flew to Germania (formerly Berlin), the "capital of the world" on the European continent, escorted by several F-82 twin Mustang fighters.

……

"Ludwig, MacArthur's plane has taken off."

"Well, I'm still falling into Hess's trap."

"Traps? The Atlantic FTA has nothing to lose for the Americans. ”

"They will lose their financial independence!"

"Just like my Russian Empire?"

"Haha...... It is not Russia that has lost its independence, all the states of the United Aryan States and the countries and colonies attached to the United States have now lost their independence, including Germany, but the United States will not be another Russia. ”

On the main balcony of the West Building, where you can directly see the Black Sea in the Olga Palace on the shore of the Black Sea, Hirschmann and the Russian Empress Olga are talking casually.

Both of them are old, but the friendship they forged from their youth still remains.

After retiring from active service, Hersmann did not enter politics again, but chose to retire and live a leisurely life, leaving his Chloe Palace in Germania every summer (he was a prince and duke, and his residence can naturally be called a palace) to Sochi, where he lived with his wife Chloe in the Olga Palace, which was given to them by the Russian empress.

And Empress Olga was also a frequent visitor to the luxurious palace that bears her name during this time.

Her Majesty has been in control of the Russian Empire for more than a decade, and although she has always been firmly in control of Russia's military and political power, she can also feel that her country is gradually integrating into the United Aryan States...... For her, it was nothing, she was an elderly empress anyway. As long as you can continue to taste the sweetness of power in your lifetime.

As for her death, the Romanov dynasty will be united with the Hohenzollern dynasty, and Russia and Germany should naturally merge as well.

And in her opinion, the prospect of the Greater Aryan States is not a bad thing for the Russians, as long as the Russians can secure the position of the second largest ethnic group (in fact, the first ethnic group) below the United Aryan States.

"American...... Won't join the United States? Olga handed Hersman a glass of Leo red wine (a native Russian brand) and stood on the balcony with Hersmann looking out to sea. This seems to be the result that Mr. Hitler has been striving for. ”

For the last 10 years of his life, Hitler had been dreaming of a Greater Aryan unification that included the United States.

However, this was only Hitler's personal idea, and the other giants of the Aryan States, Empress Olga of Russia, French President Darlan and Queen Elizabeth II of England were not interested in this at all.

Not even within Hitler's own Nazi Party, where few real giants would support the United States joining.

The reason is simple, now the seats within the Aryan United States are arranged. Germany is the largest, and then there are the three giants of Russia, France and Britain. Where is the United States going? The base of the United States is larger than that of Russia (half of Russia) and Germany.

In addition, although the current Nazi Party is the largest party in the United Aryan States, it does not have a 50% advantage in the Senate. Because Russia, France, and Great Britain all have their own big parties, and the Nazis have no advantage there.

If the United States joins again, then the Republican Party, the National Socialist Party of the United States, and the Labor Party of the United States will also join the Senate of the United Aryan States, and the advantage of the Nazi Party will be even smaller, and it is difficult to say whether it will continue to be in power......

"No one is going to support getting the United States on board," Hersman said, taking a sip of his wine, shaking his head, "and there's no need...... We just need to be able to infiltrate and control the United States economically, so why let them join the United States? ”

"Economic penetration and control?" Once again, Olga couldn't help but think about Russia.

Hersman shrugged: "It's inevitable...... And it is a process of mutual penetration, mutual control, and finally integration. It's good for everyone. Of course, for our United States, the benefits are even greater. After all, Americans will become more and more dependent on this large market in the future, so that their upper echelons will gradually become one of us. ”

"But......" the Russian Empress frowned, "but there are still many people in the United States who are aware of this, right?" If most Americans realized that their country was being controlled by capital from Europe, they would probably have to withdraw from the Atlantic tariffs and trade agreements, right? ”

"I don't think they will realize it," Hirschman smiled, "they will only feel that the United States has a chance to become great again after joining the Atlantic Tariffs and Trade Agreement!" ”
