After Zhang Meng signed a secret agreement with Curtis, he immediately took action to help Hoover canvass votes for the next trip to New York.

New York is a key stop in the campaign, and whether Hoover can defeat Roosevelt depends on New York's speech. Similarly, Roosevelt was also actively preparing for the fact that his personal charisma was not as good as that of Hoover, but because Hoover caught up with the economic crisis and caused the public approval rating to decline, which in turn set off Roosevelt's advantage, because the Americans hoped that Roosevelt could give them some hope, so they voted for him to temporarily lead Hoover.

Republicans and Democrats were canvassing in New York almost simultaneously, and Zhang Meng deliberately arranged a debate and invited Miss Rice, the most famous host in the United States, to ask Roosevelt to participate in the debate.

Roosevelt didn't know Hoover would attend at first, so he was not well prepared. In turn, Hoover was informed by Zhang Meng in advance, and Curtis sent him a document on reform measures that he had obtained from Zhang Meng, demanding that Hoover must memorize it all.

That reform measure document is Zhang Meng's real killer feature, the content is basically the historical Roosevelt New Deal rules, Zhang Meng slightly changed to make it more in line with President Hoover's style of acting, to protect the interests of the Republican Party.

At this time, although Roosevelt shouted the slogan of reform, he only had a simple outline of reform, and before he became president, he did not have the financial and human support of a think tank, so his slogan was still an empty shell. On the other hand, what Hoover got was flesh-and-blood specific reform rules, which would inevitably attract the public's attention once they were announced.

The debate was held in Queen's Square in New York and was attended by 100,000 people. It's not because Americans like to get involved in politics, it's because the economic crisis is so unsettling that they want to know what the future president will do.

The two sides met in a narrow way at the debate. Roosevelt was obviously taken aback, but he was still shrewd, and seized on the fatal wound of the economic crisis that broke out during the Hoover administration to attack, announcing to the people a series of reform measures he would take, including financial, agricultural, industrial, public infrastructure, social security, and other slogans, which immediately won unanimous praise from the people.

Hoover was initially very worried, and he did not understand that Zhang Meng deliberately arranged such a public debate occasion. Because he was very unconfident in his heart, he did not know how to go forward in the face of future reforms in the United States. However, after reading the details of the reform measures that Zhang Meng gave him. He was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and his confidence suddenly returned.

The series of reform measures and slogans shouted by Roosevelt were all on that document, and Hoover did not have time to think about how Zhang Meng knew about Roosevelt's reform program. He hurried to read the contents and memorize them. Then, according to Zhang Meng's instructions, he deliberately repeated what Roosevelt had just said word for word.

Roosevelt's side suddenly burst into flames, and the people below also coaxed, scolding Hoover for having no brains and repeating the words of others, so it was obviously impossible to vote for him.

Hoover, however, suddenly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you may be laughing at me for what Roosevelt said. Actually, I don't understand either. Weishenme Roosevelt actually knew about the program of reform that I had worked so hard to develop. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. This was a clear accusation that Roosevelt had plagiarized Hoover's reform program.

Everyone was silenced for a moment, they knew that a good show was coming, the two contenders were now the same slogan, and one of them must be fake, copying the other's.

At this time, the host, Miss Rice, suddenly said: "It is really unfortunate that the reform program that President President Hoover worked so hard to formulate has been plagiarized." What is Mr. Roosevelt's explanation? ”

Roosevelt was so angry that he had been thinking hard in his heart for more than a year that he had summed up the reform measures, which were prepared for the election campaign. It could have been possible to directly defeat Hoover and win the election with this program, but now it is dangerous, and Hoover said that the program was his, and if this is confirmed, then all Roosevelt's previous efforts will fail.

This is a superb tactic that will turn the whole situation around if it succeeds.

Such a powerful Hoover, Roosevelt couldn't help but look up at him. However, Roosevelt was not worried, because he believed that his things would never be snatched by others.

"It's a coincidence, but I want to tell you that the reforms I just talked about did come from my own thinking."

"As far as I know, President Hoover has a large team of thinkers who have ample funding to develop a reform package. And Mr. Roosevelt was only a candidate, and he could not be supported by the powerful human and financial resources of President Hoover. ”

The host Rice accepted Zhang Meng's money, naturally on the side of President Hoover, and she spoke extremely skillfully, which would make the audience subconsciously think that the program was from President Hoover, implying that Roosevelt's reform program was stolen.

Roosevelt looked at Rice with seemed to be alert, and secretly criticized that this time it was probably an elaborate trap, and he was falling into it step by step. He wanted to get out immediately, but that would undoubtedly be tantamount to admitting that he had stolen someone else's work.

"It's just a reform program, and it doesn't require much human and financial resources. If I become president, I will naturally follow the specific implementation rules of this program. ”

Reston asked, "So Mr. Roosevelt's program is just a slogan?" What I mean by this is that for the time being it's just a slogan, and there are no actual implementing rules. ”

Roosevelt secretly scolded Rice for asking too tricky questions, which undoubtedly implied that he was a guy who shouted empty slogans. It's just that Rice spoke with such skill that Roosevelt had to nod his head in acknowledgement.

Rice smiled slightly, and then turned to Hoover.

"Mr. President, since you have used a huge think tank and spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to sum up the reform measures, it is sure that the Americans will get out of the economic crisis and prosper again."

"That's right!"

"So this reform program shouldn't be just a slogan, it should have more detailed rules, right?"

"That's right!"

Hoover was overjoyed, and as soon as Rice spoke, he could tell that she was on his side, and her questioning always led the people to believe that the reform program was Hoover's and not Roosevelt's.

Rice smiled slightly, and then asked: "Mr. President, today's debate aside, at the moment you and this Mr. Roosevelt are both promoting that you are the owners of this reform program, presumably one of them must be cheating and shamelessly plagiarizing the hard work of others, and the audience at the scene also wants to know who this reform program is from, because this reform program sounds enough to make the United States out of the economic crisis and return to prosperity, and it is also the key for the American people to elect a qualified president in their hearts. Please also elaborate on your reform measures, Mr. President. ”

Rice's remarks immediately resonated with the 100,000 Americans in the audience, and they were all led by Rice's words, believing that the real author of this reform program is the future savior of the United States, and the next president of the United States.

Hoover was happy in his heart, the original unfavorable situation, as long as this time it was proved that the reform program came from his hands, then everything that Roosevelt had won before would be in vain, and the victory would definitely be Hoover's.

Hoover first looked embarrassed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, because this is a program of reform that I intend to make public after I am re-elected president, and if I am not re-elected, this program of reform will not be implemented." Moreover, my hard-earned work has already been plagiarized by someone who has been afraid to speak up in previous state campaigns. Now, if I make it all public, I think I'll be plagiarized again. ”

"As long as Mr. President speaks out, we are willing to support you!"

Zhang Meng's people deliberately made a coax below, and immediately led 100,000 people to voice their support for Hoover, as long as he was willing to make public the details of the reform outline.

Hoover then took the opportunity to disclose the detailed reform content on the reform outline, and the people immediately laughed after listening to it, because a large part of the reform measures were aimed at improving people's livelihood, which is the result that Americans want most. Moreover, Hoover said in great detail, and the specific implementation of each project was far from being a substitute for Roosevelt's mere slogan.

This also proved that the reform program was indeed the work of Hoover, and Roosevelt suddenly looked bitter, and the people on the Democratic Party side were as if they were dead.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted again: "Roosevelt was a shameful thief, stealing the fruits of others, and we almost chose the wrong president." ”

Someone who had already prepared eggs and rotten cabbage suddenly threw them at Roosevelt, making him extremely embarrassed.

After being instigated by someone with a heart, the crowd was furious and shouted at Roosevelt to get out. Roosevelt still had to debate, but the scolding of the 100,000 people frightened the Democrats and rushed Roosevelt away.

In this way, Hoover won the election in New York, with a whopping 95% of the vote. For the first time in American history, the results of the dusty ballots were overturned, and the people in these states marched to protest and demand a new vote, and Hoover was the president, and immediately ordered a re-vote, and as a result, several states that supported Roosevelt were all re-elected.

In just one week, Hoover won the national election by an absolute margin and was re-elected as president.

And Roosevelt was so angry that he vomited blood, was scolded by the Americans, and did not even dare to return home, and since then he has become like a rat crossing the street.

Hoover was very grateful to Zhang Meng, in addition to transferring Guam, American Samoa, American Wake Island and other Pacific islands to the Tang Empire according to the agreement, he also treated Zhang Meng as a guest, he wanted to get more reform opinions from Zhang Meng, because he felt that Zhang Meng was too powerful.

However, Zhang Meng did not want to tell Hoover too much about the reform of the United States, he did not want to see the United States become stronger, and this trip to the United States helped Hoover not only to get those few islands of extremely important strategic value, but also to let Roosevelt come to power, after all, Roosevelt was a very powerful guy, and he would bring the United States to a stronger country in the future, which was a result that Zhang Meng was not happy to see.
