――――――――――――

In the war in the ice and snow of Siberia, it is really difficult to predict who will win and who will lose.

Even the world's deadliest military commentators dare not make absolute judgments.

It is difficult to say whether the Russian army, which had steely discipline but lacked good commanders, won, or the Russian army, which had insufficient troops but had rich command experience and had adopted the best way of fighting, and had the tactics of luring the enemy deep into the wilderness, won.

But everyone can see that the war between them will probably end after a decisive battle.

Because neither Soviet Russia nor the empire can support long-term warfare, the war potential of Soviet Russia that has completed an industrial plan is not what it used to be, but across 3,000 kilometers to attack Irkutsk, the capital of the Russian Empire, their national strength is still unable to support a long-term war, let alone the Russian Empire, no matter how manpower and material resources they can only support a campaign-level war.

Both sides have no potential for a protracted war, so they both hope to fight a big war, especially Soviet Russia, whose commanders are always looking for an opportunity to encircle and annihilate the war, but unfortunately they are all asked by the skillful command of Denikin and others, and can only go deep into the hinterland of Siberia step by step.

The eyes of the whole world are focused on the ice and snow in Siberia, and Yang Chao is of course also concerned, but another thing that happened at the same time attracted Yang Chao's attention even more, that is, the election in the United States on the other side of the ocean.

In November, New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for president of the United States as the Democratic Party candidate against incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover.

Later generations commented that the reason for the election of the young Roosevelt was that President Hoover insisted on a free economy and completely disappointed the people by adopting a laissez-faire attitude towards the economic crisis.

First of all, Hoover did not take a laissez-faire attitude, and after the economic crisis began, Hoover took protectionist measures and raised tariffs on the vast majority of imported goods.

Hoover also allocated funds to build public works, such as the famous Hoover Dam, and Hoover also personally called on people who could help friends, capitalists to help workers, and asked the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates to a low interest rate of 1.5% to support the economy during the crisis.

Many of the measures he took were similar to Roosevelt's New Deal, but the difference was that Hoover's methods were too moderate and too orthodox, first of all, he refused to take a large number of administrative measures to intervene in the economy, unlike Roosevelt's insistence on strengthening political forces to intervene in the economy, Hoover insisted on stabilizing the gold content of the currency, through stabilizing the currency, so as to stabilize the economy at the source, while Roosevelt adopted a direct devaluation and gave up the power of free circulation of gold.

In fact, it was Roosevelt who succeeded and was lifted to the sky, and Hoover failed and was trampled to the ground.

Roosevelt's New Deal was indeed very successful, because he took active measures of administrative intervention when the economic means were completely out of control, while Hoover's insistence on a free economy made the economic crisis unending.

But as long as the U.S. economic order is stable, no matter what system they adhere to, they will always be able to get out of the crisis, and the difference is only in the long or short term.

China, as America's largest industrial competitor, is obviously best positioned to support Hoover and try to make the economic crisis last longer and hit America's industrial strength even harder.

That's what Yang Chao did.

"Was there anything about China in Roosevelt and Hoover's campaign manifesto?"

Yang Chao has long asked Zhang Nian to take the lead in the intelligence of the U.S. election.

Zhang Nian said: "Hoover avoided China. But Roosevelt expressed his willingness to re-establish diplomatic relations with China. ā€

Yang Chao was a little surprised, Hoover avoided China and did not talk about it, he was not surprised at all, because of the Hawaii crisis, many Americans see this as a humiliation that China has imposed on the United States, so China has become a forbidden area in American politics, and no one dares to talk about it, because no one can solve this problem.

Unexpectedly, Roosevelt talked about it, and talked about re-establishing diplomatic relations with China, which was bound to lose the votes of a large group of ethnic elements.

"What did he say?"

Yang Chao asked with a smile, he really wanted to know why this bold guy dared to pick this forbidden area.

Zhang Nian said with a smile: "Roosevelt said that if China wants to make friends with the United States, the United States is willing to coexist peacefully with China while maintaining dignity. But if the Chinese must put shame on the United States, the United States will certainly show China what is called the inviolable dignity of the United States. ā€

Yang Chao smiled: "This is really two skins for human mouths and two mouths for official words." This kid can really say that he obviously wants to maintain peace with China, but he wants to say it so passionately. Hoover must have grabbed his pigtails, right? ā€

Zhang Nian nodded: "Hoover said that Roosevelt's declaration of establishing diplomatic relations with China itself was a renunciation of the dignity of the United States. ā€

If Hoover wanted to have good relations with China, Yang Chao could have issued some political declarations to support him, such as giving the United States some face, so that Hoover could get some political points, but now Roosevelt wants to have good relations with China, and if Roosevelt wants to cooperate with Roosevelt, Roosevelt can win more easily, and if he goes against him, Roosevelt can also seize the opportunity.

In the final analysis, the president of the Americans, in the end, it is the Americans who have the final say.

Roosevelt's advantage is still obvious, not because of how advanced his governing philosophy is, but because Hoover was too incompetent about the economic crisis, and half of the people who voted for Roosevelt were probably because they were dissatisfied with Hoover, rather than really supporting Roosevelt, and among these people who were dissatisfied with Roosevelt, the more than 17 million unemployed people were probably going to vote for Roosevelt.

Roosevelt had 17 million more votes, and Hoover had 17 million fewer votes, and the gap reached 34 million votes, which is simply an irreparable gap for the United States, where the number of legitimate male voters is less than 60 million, unless Roosevelt commits a major ********.

"We support Roosevelt's election, and if Hoover is elected, the United States will forever lose the opportunity to get along with China. If Roosevelt is elected, we are more than happy to negotiate with the United States to resolve our differences and re-establish diplomatic relations, and we have absolute confidence in Mr. Roosevelt's political wisdom. ā€

Yang Chao thought about it and told Zhang Nian his idea.

Zhang Nian was quite surprised: "My lord, you seem to have a lot of prejudice against Roosevelt." ā€

Zhang Nian could hear that Yang Chao hated Roosevelt and didn't die, but there was no grudge between the two, and they didn't even know each other, so why did they cheat Roosevelt so much? (To be continued.) )
