"How so? Why is this happening? Mr. Knox, shouldn't you give me an explanation? Why did the news leak out even though I had already asked the major media to regulate it? President Taft roared angrily at Secretary of State Philand C. Knox, his gaze like a ferocious, man-eating beast.

"Your Excellency, I don't know! According to a message from New York City, they were tricked by the New York Times guys. The New York Times submitted for review yesterday is not the same newspaper that was found this morning, and they deceived us! Secretary of State Filand C. Knox said with some grievances, he did not expect such a thing, the boss of the New York Times would be so bold as to dare to act against zhèngfǔ.

"Bastard! The bitch guys. And what about the gendarmerie? What are you eating now? Why not get the New York Times guys up and put them all in jail! President Taft said angrily.

"Your Excellency, while you may give such an order, I advise you not to. If the gendarmes arrest the people of the New York Times, it will undoubtedly exacerbate the current contradictions. Philand C. Knox persuaded.

By this time, hundreds of people had gathered outside the White House, waving signs and shouting slogans inside the White House, blocked by the White House guards. These people. Mostly Theodore. Roosevelt's Progressive Party. They had assembled last night. After the New York Times ignited the anger of the American people, they immediately went to the White House to demonstrate against President Taft and Zèngfǔ.

"Guy who deceived the people, get out of the White House!" The demonstrators shouted loudly, and the sound reached the White House.

President Taft had no hearing problems, so he could hear the voices of the demonstrators. It's just that after hearing these voices, his face was even more sunken, as if he could drip water.

Soon. Other cabinet members of Taft rushed to the White House. Because the main entrance to the White House has been blocked by demonstrators, they can only enter through the back door. Everyone's faces were a little unnatural, and some people had frightened expressions in their eyes. They all knew that this time Taft was in big trouble, and if they didn't do it, they would have to finish up with Taft. The current form shì is very unfavorable for Taft zhèngfǔ, and demonstrations against Taft have erupted almost all over the United States. And the parliamentary side is also moving, and Taaffe's resignation is almost inevitable.

"Your Excellency, according to the latest information we have received, Theodore. His Excellency Roosevelt had reached an agreement with the party leaders that the entire Progressive Party would be merged into the Republican Party. And the Republican Party will fully support Theodore. Roosevelt ran for the next president. Moreover, the leaders of both the Republican Party and the Mínzhǔ Party called on lawmakers to initiate a motion of no confidence in His Excellency the President. "The last to enter President Taft's office was the Secretary of the Interior Richard . Achilles. Barringer has the worst news for Taft.

"Hell! How can they do that? President Taft yelled. He felt like an abandoned woman. The reason why he had the confidence to be with Theodore before. Roosevelt ran for the nomination within the party, even with the support of the party bigwigs and the big capitalists. But he never expected that in the blink of an eye, those party bigwigs and big capitalists would abandon him and support Theodore instead. Roosevelt.

The faces of other people in the office have also changed, and the Republican Party has fallen into the ground, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to President Taft. Originally, President Taft may have had the power to fight back, but now that he has lost the support of the Republican Party, President Taft is doomed.

President Taft's eyes were also filled with despair, but they were quickly replaced by madness. He didn't want to step down, but he was ousted in this way, becoming the second president in American history to be impeached. It may even be the first president to be impeached and removed from office!

The first president to be impeached and removed from office was the 17th president, Andrew. Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln as president, became president after Lincoln's assassination and adopted a series of reactionary measures to "rebuild the South." In 1865, he issued a proclamation of amnesty for southern plantation owners who had directly or indirectly participated in the rebellion, restoring their rights to the rights of black slaves in addition to ownership, and recovering property confiscated during the civil war. He then issued seven successive "rebuild the South" proclamations to the rebellious states in the south, in favor of former Southern slave owners. With Johnson's connivance, the southern slave planters continued to carry out restoration campaigns, and Yan Zhan threatened the rule of the northern bourgeoisie. At that time, the U.S. Congress was largely dominated by the radical Republican Party, so they used the legislature to carry out a series of presidential impeachment campaigns. In February 1868, the House of Representatives passed a two-thirds majority calling for Johnson's impeachment. The House of Representatives proposed 11 counts of impeachment against Johnson, the main of which were his violation of the law on official appointments and his conspiracy to plot a counterrevolutionary rebellion. In March of the same year, he was tried in the Senate, and he was not present at that time, but the result was that there were 35 votes for approval and 19 votes against, and only one vote did not reach the two-thirds majority, so he was acquitted. Although he "walked away", his prestige was shattered, and he was the first president in American history to be impeached and interrogated.

"It's a time of war, Congress has adjourned, all power is in zhèngfǔ, and no one can remove me from office until my term is over!" President Taft said firmly.

The others all looked at Taft in amazement, not expecting him to say that. You must know that under the opposition of the majority of parliamentarians and the public, Taft's presidency is unstable in any way. In their view, if President Taft doesn't want to be kicked out of the White House by the wolf, he should resign voluntarily. But I didn't expect President Taft to want to hold on. You know, if you fail, you will be ruined.

"Your Excellency, don't you have to think again? Now all over the country is turning against us. We resigned anyway! Secretary of State Filand C. Knox said.

"No, I won't be defeated by them so easily. Minister Baringer ordered the gendarmes to impose martial law and disperse the mob that was besieging the zhèngfǔ. Secretary Dickinson, give orders to the military that if the situation reaches an uncontrollable point, the military is responsible for ensuring the stability of the United States! President Taft ordered.

Home Secretary Richard. Achilles. Barringer and Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson were hesitant, but nodded under the majestic gaze of President Taft. It's just that they don't have the slightest confidence in whether they can control the situation.

Later, at the request of President Taft, Secretary of State Knox addressed the public, declaring that the New York Times was false and that it was a ploy by people with ulterior motives to subvert American rule and cause chaos in the United States. He is fortunate that the people believe in zhèngfǔ, go home, and don't be used by those yīn plotters.

Some Americans believe it, but most Americans don't, believing that they are continuing to deceive them.

At this time, former President Theodore. Roosevelt gave a speech in New York, and he first apologized to the people, because his unknown acquaintance made Taft the president of the United States, and led to the current situation. However, he assured the people that he would find a way to solve the current predicament, and as long as the people gave him and the Republican Party a chance, they would be able to lead the United States out of the current predicament.

Theodore. Roosevelt's prestige among the people was very high, and his speech won the support of many Americans, especially those who supported the Republican Party. Roosevelt had a chance to save America. To know that in Theodore. Roosevelt's presidency was one of the fastest growing periods in the United States. Therefore, his words to stand up and clean up the mess gave many Americans hope.

Theodore. Roosevelt's statement made President Taft very dissatisfied, but in view of Theodore. Roosevelt's prestige among the American people, he could not be satisfied with Theodore. Roosevelt took steps to do so, or he would face even more trouble. As for sending someone to assassinate Theodore. Roosevelt, that's even more impossible. Theodore, who regained Republican support. Roosevelt's Jǐng guard was greatly strengthened, even more tightly than the defense around him, the president of the United States, who wanted to assassinate Theodore. Roosevelt, there was no hope, but if the matter was revealed, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

However, Theodore. It will not be so easy for Roosevelt to oust President Taft from the White House and re-enter the White House, and he still has a strong opponent to face, even if the presidential candidate of the Mínzhǔ Party, Woodrow. Wilson. Facing such an opponent, Theodore. Roosevelt chose and Woodrow. Wilson had a secret conversation, or rather a conversation with Woodrow. Wilson's mínzhǔ party cooperated.

On the evening of March 31, Theodore. Roosevelt and Woodrow. Wilson met at a manor house in the suburbs of New York. Roosevelt wanted to give up some of his interests in exchange for the support of the Mínzhǔ Party, so that he could more easily enter the White House.

"Mr. Wilson, now the United States is facing a serious crisis, with the invasion of the Chinese on the outside and the brutal rule of Taft on the inside. I think that this is the time when our two parties can put aside their differences and work together to get out of the current crisis! "Theodore. Roosevelt said sincerely! (To be continued......)
