Woodrow. Wilson held a cup of coffee and stared at the man in front of him. Yu Theodore. Roosevelt, the president who led the United States out of the shadow of defeat in the Second Sino-American Pacific War, admired it very much. It's just that as the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, he doesn't think that if he enters the White House, he will be better than Theodore. Roosevelt did poorly. Woodrow. Wilson was a high-ranking intellectual, with a Ph.D., and before running for president, he served as president of Princeton University and governor of New Jersey, and he also held a high position in American politics, which is why he was pushed out by the Democrats and the Republicans for the presidency. You must know that almost all of the previous presidents were from the Republican Party, and the Democratic Party suffered a series of fiascos in the previous presidential elections.

This time, Woodrow. Wilson has a lot of confidence in defeating the Republican presidential candidate. In fact, because during the administration of President Taft, the United States has been expanding its armaments and warfare, the people's lives are getting worse and worse, and after the war began, the US military suffered a crushing defeat, which has caused the Republican Party's support to drop a lot, almost the same as the Democratic Party. More importantly, Theodore. The infighting between Roosevelt and Taft spread the Republican Party a lot. This is a great opportunity for Wilson, and for the Democratic Party as a whole. Woodrow. Wilson believes that, if nothing else, he will defeat his opponent in this presidential election and become the next president of the United States, giving the Democrats the first time in 14 years to enter the White House.

For Theodore. Roosevelt's appointment with him was the reason for Woodrow. Wilson could have guessed, too. The current shape shì is very critical for the United States, and in the Mexican battlefield, the US army was defeated by China, and the shape shì is becoming more and more unfavorable. Although Admiral Davis has planned to retreat to Mexico City to organize the central defense line to resist the attack of the squadron, no one can guarantee whether he can hold it. The country is also in turmoil because of the crushing defeat of the US military and the deception of the people by the Taft government.

In such a situation of internal and external troubles, Theodore. Roosevelt appeared as the savior of the United States and the people, and wanted to expel Taft from the White House and replace him in the fastest possible time, which inevitably required the cooperation of the Democratic Party. It's just that the Democrats and Woodrow. Wilson was clearly unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

"Your Excellency Roosevelt, I know the situation in the United States very well. I also know that now is not the time for our two parties to fight. However, as the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, I also think that if I can win and become the president of the United States, I will be able to lead the United States out of this difficult situation! "Woodrow. Wilson put down the coffee cup in his hand and said firmly.

Theodore. Roosevelt's face changed, he had known Woodrow. Wilson wouldn't quit so lightly, but he didn't expect the other party to be so determined. However, he did not give up.

"Your Excellency Wilson, perhaps you don't know, but I've come to an agreement with the bigwigs in the Republican Party, and the Progressive Party will merge into the Republican Party in its entirety. I will have the full resources of the Republican Party to run for the next president. Does His Excellency Wilson still think the Democrats have a chance of winning? "Theodore. Roosevelt said with a smile. This is undoubtedly his hole card, he himself has a strong influence in the United States, and with the support of the Republican Party, the possibility of winning the election is indeed very high

Woodrow. Wilson looked at Theodore in surprise. Roosevelt, he didn't expect the Republicans to abandon Taft in just one day, if the Republicans and Theodore. Roosevelt was indeed more difficult to deal with if he joined forces. Although he was influential in American political circles, he was very influential in American political circles. Roosevelt, by comparison, is somewhat inadequate. To know before Theodore. Roosevelt served as president for eight years, and he had a very great influence on both political and business terms in the United States and among the people.

"Whether we will win or not is probably too early to know now, we will not know until after the election!" Woodrow. Wilson said with a blank face.

"Your Excellency Wilson, I believe that the Democrats and Your Excellency have the strength, but I don't think there is any need for us to waste time. If the Democrats can support me as President of the United States, I will nominate Your Excellency as Vice President and hand over important positions in the Cabinet to Democrats. I just need that after the new government is formed, we can unite closely and defeat the Chinese. If China is defeated, it will be over, and the struggle between our two parties will become a joke! I promise you that as soon as China is defeated, I will immediately resign and hand over the presidency to you! "Theodore. Roosevelt looked at Woodrow. Wilson, firmly.

"What?" Woodrow. Wilson looked at Theodore in surprise. Roosevelt, did not expect him to say such a thing. In American politics, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have always taken turns to govern and the two parties have different governing philosophies, but in order to win the votes of the people, they will always try their best to please the people, which is also a good way to avoid the United States falling into dictatorship. And now Theodore. Roosevelt actually proposed a bipartisan coalition, and in this case, American politics would be completely dominated by them, and there would certainly be many people who opposed it. Also, Theodore. Roosevelt's willingness to nominate him as vice president and hand over key positions in the Cabinet to the Democrats also made Woodrow Brown. Wilson was taken aback. He already had some faith that Theodore. Roosevelt did this for the sake of the United States, so that the United States could win this war. If the United States is defeated, or even destroyed, then all the rhetoric will be empty talk. As for Theodore. Roosevelt promised to resign after the war and give him the presidency. Wilson had no doubts about it, and Theodore. Roosevelt's identity did not deceive him on this. However, I am afraid that there will be a long time before the end of the war, and who will be able to say what will happen at that time?

Woodrow. Wilson had no intention of turning down Theodore. Roosevelt's good intentions, in his opinion, if insisted and Theodore. Roosevelt competed, he was not necessarily victorious, and the odds of winning were very slim. If the Democrats and Republicans cooperate, they can gain a lot. As long as they hold key positions in the cabinet, the influence of the Democratic Party will increase dramatically, and they will even implement a series of policies that benefit the interest groups represented by the Democratic Party. At that time, the Democrats have a good chance of defeating the Republicans and laying the groundwork for the next election. Of course, all of this is premised on the fact that the United States can defeat China.

"Your Excellency Roosevelt, I am very interested in your proposal. It's just that I need to know your more detailed plan so that I can discuss it with the bigwigs in the party! "Woodrow. Wilson said.

"Your Excellency Wilson, of course there is no problem. If I were to be in the White House, in addition to your vice president, the Secretaries of the Treasury, Attorneys, Posts, Agriculture, Commerce and Labor would all be Democrats! "Theodore. Roosevelt said, and then began to elaborate his plan.

However, Woodrow. Wilson frowned, although, Theodore. In Roosevelt's plan, the Democrats seemed to have several ministerships, but none of them were insignificant except for the secretary of the Treasury. In the midst of wartime, the positions of Minister of War and Minister of the Navy are the most critical. In addition, the secretary of state and the secretary of the interior are also important, and the Democrats are obviously not going to give up these positions in vain.

"Your Excellency Roosevelt, it seems that the sincerity of Your Excellency and the Republican Party is not enough! If that's the case, I don't think I'll be able to convince the bigwigs in the party! "Woodrow. Wilson said. Obviously, Theodore. If Roosevelt wanted to use these insignificant positions to get rid of the Democratic Party, it would be impossible.

"So, what do you mean?" Theodore. Roosevelt asked. The two of them, like merchants, began to bargain. In fact, there is no difference between politicians and businessmen, and in many cases they are even more vicious than businessmen!

"The Secretary of Agriculture can be a Republican, but one of the Secretaries of War and the Secretary of the Navy must belong to the Democrats!" Woodrow. Wilson said.

"Your Excellency Wilson, this is impossible. After the new government is formed, all my energy will be put into the war with the Chinese, so I need to ensure absolute control of the army! And, you should know that we don't have any time to waste! Otherwise, the United States is very likely to lose everything in this war! "Theodore. Roosevelt said.

Theodore. Roosevelt served as Secretary of the Navy and was very influential in the U.S. Navy. At the same time, his influence in the army is not small, at least Admiral Pershing supports him. In addition, during the Republican administration, many generals were promoted, and it is impossible for the Democratic Party to share the control of the military with the Republican Party.

"Your Excellency Roosevelt, I understand this, but I hope to be able to guarantee the interests of the Democratic Party. So be it, the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy can be Republicans. However, the Secretary of State must be a Democrat! "Woodrow. Wilson said. As vice president, if he has the cooperation of the secretary of state, plus several other Democratic cabinet members, he will be able to have a great say in the cabinet, and even compete with the Republican Party.

Theodore. Roosevelt only hesitated for a few seconds before a smile appeared on his face, he stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Wilson, happy cooperation!" ”
