Chapter 249: The Governor's Invitation

At this time, Tu Qianjun was training these soldiers and cadets in the subjects of night raids and emergency gatherings, and Tu Qianjun frowned and whispered to the man with a beautiful beard: "Please wait for me for ten minutes, after all, I haven't finished today's arrangements yet." And General William on the side looked at Tu Qianjun with great appreciation, and couldn't help but admire the eyes of the old Pershing general!

You know, there are not many people who can still set their minds to train troops in the face of the governor's invitation! Especially the invitation of the powerful governor of a big family like Roosevelt, and this Tu actually asked the governor's envoy who came to invite him to wait for ten minutes for him to complete the scheduled work, this dedication and profession couldn't help but make William appreciate it very much!

Tu Qianjun raised his wrist at this time and looked at his watch, it was already half past one in the morning! So he said to the forest leopard beside him: "You can start ......"

Lin Leopard on the side nodded solemnly, and then walked out of the office with a sly smile and his comrades around him with a few large iron basins. Immediately, I heard a noise from the students' dormitory "dang~dang~dang~" iron basin ringing!

Then there was a howl of ghosts and wolves in the dormitory, and I heard a roar in English: "Urgently assemble!" Fast! Fast!! You pumpkins! Hurry up and get Lao Tzu moving!! Fast!! ”

After a burst of roars and shouts, a group of West Point students were caught in disheveled clothes and caught on the playground in front of the dormitory, looking embarrassed.

And Tu Qianjun was staring at them with his hands behind his back, his eyes like electricity! His eyes were cold and piercing, and he saw Tu Qianjun walking around in front of them and suddenly pointed at them and roared, "Damn it! Look at yourselves! Do you look like a little soldier?! Disheveled! I don't know where to throw the weapon! It's just an adulterer who was caught by someone else's husband!! ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, these proud students suddenly turned red! But as the best in West Point, no one came out to refute Tu Qianjun's words, but they just listened quietly. But the look on his face was obviously very unconvinced!

Tu Qianjun looked at them coldly and said in a deep voice: "I know you are not convinced, so tell me all the reasons why you are not convinced!" Allow you to speak! Go ahead! ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, a West Point student raised his hand and said loudly: "Report and bring weapons!" Yes, I don't think your demands and reproaches are reasonable! Report complete! ”

Tu Qianjun listened to the student finish speaking, and then looked at him and said in a deep voice: "You're done, right?!" ”

"Yes! Sergeant Williams report done! Instructor! Williams stood up and said loudly at Tu Qianjun! Then Tu Qianjun looked at the other students and asked in a deep voice, "Do you also think my request is unreasonable?!" ”

No one answered, but their eyes had already told Tu Qianjun: This is very unreasonable! Tu Qianjun looked at them and said coldly: "Yes!" Irrationality! I know it's not reasonable! ”

The students couldn't help but wonder when they heard Tu Qianjun's words, do you know why such an exercise is unreasonable?! But then they heard Tu Qianjun say to them in a deep voice: "But the enemy doesn't know! ”

"No enemy will tell you before they attack you: Hey! Buddy! I'm going to kill you! Nor is there a single enemy who will think: Hey! It's early morning, man, and we're not going to attack you! ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, all the West Point students were silent. And they saw Tu Qianjun crossing his steps, and said to them in a slow voice: "Every war may be sudden, and every battle may be sudden!" You do not know where, when, and how your enemies will appear before you! ”

"If an enemy suddenly enters New York City today, and they surprise West Point, how many of you think you can guarantee that you can fight the enemy?!" Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, everyone was suddenly silent.

At this time, Tu Qianjun said to them in a deep voice: "As a student of West Point, you must know!" In his spare time, there is a popular children's rhyme in New York: "Mellon blows the whistle, and Hoover rings the bell." Wall Street signals that America is rushing to hell! ”

With the collapse of the stock market, the U.S. economy was plunged into a devastating catastrophe, and the terrible chain reaction soon followed: frenzied runs, bank failures, factory closures, worker unemployment, poverty, organized resistance, and the brink of civil war.

And the historical record of agricultural capitalists and large farmers destroying "surplus" products, using wheat and corn as fuel for coal, pouring milk into the Mississippi River, and turning the river into a "galaxy" has begun to emerge!

In New York City, a large number of homeless people have built rudimentary shelters out of wooden planks, old tin sheets, oilcloth and even brown paper, and these huts are clustered in villages known as "Hoover Village."

The homeless people's food bags are called "Hoover bags", the cars that are pulled by animal power because they can't afford to buy fuel are called "Hoover cars", and even the newspapers covered by homeless people sleeping on street benches are called "Hoover blankets".

The apple vendor on the street became one of the most recognizable symbols of the Great Depression. Among those who were forced to earn a living by running itinerant fruit stalls were many former successful businessmen and bankers.

The whole United States is in a gloomy fog, and all this is spreading throughout the United States starting from New York! Dark clouds are hanging over the whole of the United States, and hundreds of people in New York City have committed suicide by jumping off buildings in just one week!

Such a tragic situation has made countless people feel palpitations and panic! The current US President Herbert Hoover's attitude towards economic policy is largely based on volunteerism. Long before he took office, Hoover supported the concept of public-private partnerships to achieve long-term, efficient growth.

He fears that too much government interference or coercion will deprive corporations of their individuality and independence, which he sees as the core of American values. Therefore, the advent of the Great Depression was a test not only for the national economy, but also for Hoover's ideas! It may even be more dangerous, and it is inevitable to save the market. But how to save the market has become the most critical topic.

"Reform!! We have to reform! "Little John. Pirpont. Morgan yelled at a well-dressed, but equally red-faced, middle-aged man in front of him, "We have to increase state intervention in the economy, otherwise those damn guys don't know what they're going to do!" ”

"Little John! You stupid fool! The man in front of Little John was also unable to show weakness, and shouted angrily at Little John: "Damn it! We're not socialists! This kind of suggestion of yours is completely contrary to our ideology! ”

"In free-market capitalism, the state can only play the role of a night watchman, and the role of the government in the economy is limited to defending the free market for the free functioning of the economy! It is simply impossible to allow to restrict the market, what we have to do now is to help the people! and encourage everyone to regulate the operation of the whole market......"

And for the mention of this person, little John obviously scoffed! He snorted loudly at the man, "Are you an idiot?!" Everyone is also encouraged to regulate the operation of the whole market, knowing that it would be nice if they could not fall into the trap now! Don't you see those damn farmers who would rather pour all that milk into the river and burn the wheat than take it out?! Your words are simply fantastic!! ”

Little John's words suddenly made the man opposite him speechless, and at this time, Little John also saw Tu Qianjun come in! He walked to Tu Qianjun's side in surprise and said loudly: "Oh! General Tu! I'm glad to see you again, but how did you get here?! Aren't you supposed to be at West Point right now?! ”

Tu Qianjun smiled when he heard Little John's words, and whispered to Little John: "Actually, I was invited by Mr. Rothfurt. For the sake of this crash, perhaps my opinion can give you some inspiration. ”

"Oh?!" Little John looked at Tu Qianjun suspiciously, you must know that Tu Qianjun is just a soldier! How can you be proficient in economic matters?! What's more, even many economists are helpless in this incident, but what can you do, a soldier under the age of 20?!
