Hoover is finally starting to get scared! You know, this is the first time since the Civil War that the Republicans have lost hands in Maine!

In his 1928 presidential campaign, Hoover had won in 40 states, and now he had lost to the Democratic Party in Maine, which terrified him! He urgently summoned the rest of the Republican delegates to a meeting.

He had said before, and his aides had told him, that four months after the campaign, Roosevelt would lose the trust of the business community! But now things have changed, and there seems to be some incredible power in the business community that influences the outcome of the election!

You must know that Hoover secretly contacted some companies hostile to Roosevelt, such as the Ford Motor Company, and in fact they informed all employees from top to bottom: "In order to prevent the situation from worsening and strive for a better situation, you must elect Hoover as president." ”

But the workers don't seem willing to listen to their bosses anymore. In addition to this, there have been alarming incidents of defection among the Republican Party, most notably Senator Bora of Idaho and Senator Hiram of California. Johnson actually ran to the other side!

"I think we should be like Roosevelt, go around and canvass for votes!" A Republican congressman thought for a while and said to Roosevelt: "And we must find enough heavyweights to help, and we have to admit that the Tiger from Manchuria did bring Roosevelt high popularity!" This is something we didn't anticipate before. ”

At this point, another Republican congressman said, "Yes! I underestimated this man who had been on the battlefield and who was known throughout the country for his reporting on disaster relief, even though he was only doing it in China. But there is no doubt that the people of their country will subconsciously feel that Roosevelt who is with him is the same person as him! ”

Hoover's face became extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth for a while before he roared, "This damn yellow-skinned monkey!" I gave him so many orders and loans, and he went for Roosevelt! This bitch raised it! Ungrateful! ”

The rest of the councillors were silent, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was not a good thing you had for the Tiger. On the contrary, he has helped you a lot!

If it weren't for his Manchuria, which digested those idle funds and hired a large number of workers, perhaps the situation would be even worse now! Isn't the joint farmer who bought grain in the form of wages and paid it in kind by Congress the way the Tiger and Governor Rosfucher came up with it?!

Thinking of this, everyone also somewhat understands why some people in the business community have changed their minds. Quite simply, Hoover's incompetence is all too obvious, albeit reluctant to admit it! And the ability that Roosevelt demonstrated after the crisis was demonstrated. He can do a few things.

In other words, Roosevelt would at least be no worse than Hoover. Therefore, it is reasonable that the voting is one-sided and even the governors and parliamentarians have dropped!

"Perhaps, we should ask President Coolidge for help...... Hoover was clearly still angry. But others had to help him figure it out! Or to put it this way, they are already grasshoppers on a rope that no one can jump out of.

The short meeting ended abruptly, and the rest of the Republicans went to contact the venue and prepare for the lecture tour. And someone went to former President Coolidge. Whether it's a return to the light or a desperate fight, it's better than doing nothing.

Hoover, sitting on the sofa in the White House office, looked like he was several years old, and he was silent for a long time in the sunset, and suddenly whispered to his secretary: "We must fight to the end!" I'm not going to just throw in the towel! ”

A few days later, Hoover began to carefully prepare for his lecture tour. But the heavens did not obey people's wishes, and a team of thousands of people began to slowly gather towards Washington! These people are in rags. Exhausted, blank, and sad.

The only thing they had in common was that most of the adult men were dressed in old-fashioned military uniforms, and in a moment of astonishment, they arrived in Washington, D.C., the capital. Temporary shelters have been erected in the wetlands of Anna Kosti District, next to the federal government.

Among them are the elderly, children, women and pregnant women. They blocked Hoover's way to his campaign speeches -- and reporters from all sides had already started their interviews because of the crowd!

"We don't want anything else, we just want the federal government to give us the grants promised to us in advance......" Facing the New York Times reporter, the elected Watters took a deep breath and said slowly.

"You see it. We have elderly people here, children and even pregnant women! Although it was promised that it would not be distributed until 1945. But it is unreasonable to promise a hungry person that he will not pay for food until twenty years later...... We want the Confederation to hear our voice, and we want the Confederation to help us for what we do......"

Transcripts of these interviews. It was put on the front page of the news page of the New York Times! The newspaper used a huge headline called "Waiting for Our Life-Saving Money - Remembering the Wishes of the Veterans."

Tu Qianjun, who saw this news in the newspaper, couldn't help but be stunned! Only then did he think that it seemed that there should be an incident of veterans being expelled or even killed this year!

In World War I, the U.S. Congress promised Americans who participated in the war a daily salary of $1 per person, plus 25 cents as an overseas living allowance. But during the war, this salary was not paid to the American ** people who participated in the war.

After the war, the U.S. government could not afford the cost, so in 1924 the Service Certificate Amendment Act was enacted and passed. In the bill, the U.S. government first issued a certificate of grant to World War I veterans, promising that the salary owed would be calculated at $1 per day after 20 years, based on the number of days they were in the military. Multiply compound interest and pay in cash.

But the advent of the Great Depression crushed everyone at once, and the severe economic crisis took a toll on these veterans, leaving many penniless, their families ruined, and their lives insecure. In order to change this situation, they began to lobby and agitate. Demanded early retirement benefits and launched a petition campaign to march on Washington.

Historically, this incident would have started in May. It's just that due to the instigation of Tu Qianjun's butterfly, the incident was postponed. Tu Qianjun cooperated with the United States on a large number of projects and brought in a large number of workers, which gave a glimmer of hope to the otherwise desperate society.

But as time went on, more and more people's hopes were gradually dashed. And their survival is gradually threatened, and this petition finally erupts!

"Bastard! Bastard! This bunch of mongrels! What do they want to do?! Are they trying to threaten the Federation?! Hoover flew into his office and yelled at the chief of the police department in front of him, "Are you an idiot?!" Hurry up and let them fuck me off! Is it embarrassing for me here?! ”

The chief of police was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice to Hoover: "Mr. President, I want you to know that if we proceed with the expulsion, the impact will be extremely bad. And ......"

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things!!" Hoover: "Bump! He slammed his fist on the table and yelled at the chief of the police department: "I just know that I need to go out and campaign!" And this bunch of hooligans piled up in Washington will not bring me any good prestige! I need them to fuck off! Immediately! Right away! ”

At this time, a Republican congressman hesitantly walked in and whispered to Hoover: "President, things seem to have changed. The House of Representatives has passed the Texas John Brown Chamber. Wright. Bill for the payment of welfare grants to World War I veterans proposed by Congressman Patelman. In other words, we may not be able to leave Washington for a while......"

When Hoover heard this, the old man's face immediately collapsed! His best hope now is to rush to the states for his final speeches before the vote and try to canvass as many votes as he can. And Coolidge, who originally replied that his throat was uncomfortable and he didn't know what to say, finally agreed to come after being persuaded by other Republicans.

But now, he was stopped by these veterans! How can this keep Hoover from getting angry?!

"Good! All right! Do you think that's going to stop me?! This group of bitches raised me, I won't let you stop me! Hoover laughed evilly, raised his head and roared at the Republican congressman: "Notify our party department and let everyone veto the bill in Congress!" Aren't these pigs trying to get money?! I'll give them a piece of shit! Let them fuck off!! ”

"I see, Mr. President!" The Republican congressman nodded and said in a deep voice, and then went down to organize people to convey Hoover's orders. In fact, even if Hoover did not say that Congress would not have acceded to this request.

The reason is simple - there is no money!

In the past, the Ministry of Finance could not afford to give this money, and now after the Mellon tax cuts and the Great Depression, it is even more unaffordable! Even the entire treasury does not have much money. If this continues, even the federal government can only declare bankruptcy.

"Woo~~" Outside the federal government, the veterans who gathered in the wetlands of Anna Kosti apparently knew about John. Wright. News that Congressman Patman's proposal has entered the Congress! Immediately cheers spread throughout the wetland.

Hoover stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the raged veterans, and smiled coldly.

"Rejoice...... You can only cheer once, and ...... Gotta fuck me off! ”

On this day, Roosevelt woke up late. When he got up and saw Tu Qianjun frowning and looking at the newspaper, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Meng Ben, my friend!" Are you having any difficulties?! ”

Tu Qianjun shook his head and did not speak, but handed the newspaper in his hand to Roosevelt. The latter took the newspaper and looked at it in amazement, and then said with a smile: "Isn't this a good thing?!" As soon as it is submitted to Congress, I believe that it will give these veterans an answer......"

"Perhaps, things will be worse......" Tu Qianjun stood up, walked to the window and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ruici, we have to prepare." Maybe we'll have to go to Washington ......" (To be continued)
