Chapter 532: The Dust Has Settled

,

Stimulated by a piece of work information, and disappointed in the Republican Party, the voting results can be imagined! President Hoover undoubtedly failed miserably, but did Hoover give up?! Apparently not!

Hoover and their cabinet were indeed in a death throes, and in desperation they began to do whatever it takes.

The Secretary of Agriculture scolded Roosevelt as a "typical liar propagandist" and the Secretary of the Navy predicted that if Roosevelt was elected, "100 million people would lose their lives!" ”

Hoover shouted, "Fellow citizens! The key to where our country will go in the next 100 years lies in whether it will abide by the American tradition or engage in new tricks. Hoover's chest could not stand up, the wrinkles around his eyes deepened, and the lines at the corners of his mouth were thicker.

He is no longer the president whose rhetoric can convince people, on the contrary, people feel that he is the one who says all nonsense, wrong words, empty words, and falsehoods......

But Hoover still didn't give up! In his final broadcast, he warned voters not to trust "the gods who dress up and can do anything." William. Allan. White noted that Hoover's voice was "exhausted" and that Hoover's speech was "a wail of emptiness and despair."

Roosevelt, on the other hand, told the audience on the radio for the last time before the election: "You may not all agree with me, but you all treat me well." ”

"As long as we all stick together, we can twist into a rope and lift us out of the mud pit of the Great Depression!"

But no matter what they say, the final battle is coming! When the state electoral elections are over, the time has finally come to finally decide the president of the United States!

On election night, Roosevelt, dressed in a dark blue vest and a sorority badge, sat nervously awaiting the outcome at the Democratic headquarters at the Bill's Mormo Hotel in New York City.

Unlike everyone, Tu Qianjun, who stayed at the headquarters of the Democratic Party with Roosevelt, did not have the slightest nervousness. He looked at Roosevelt with a smile and whispered, "Brother Ruici, believe me!" You've got it! ”

Sure enough, after the election began, the entire Democratic Party continued to receive good news! With the continuous arrival of good news. There were cheers from the Democratic Party headquarters! Roosevelt laughed and thanked everyone for their congratulations!

Unlike Roosevelt, Hoover and others, who stayed at the headquarters of the Republican Party, were in a gloomy fog. Roosevelt won 48 votes in 42 states!

With the exception of Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, Roosevelt received a total of 472 electoral votes! And Hoover, the former president who was ridiculed by Time magazine as an "outcast president", only got 59 votes!

Since Lincoln defeated McClellan by a vote of 212 to 21, no one in the history of the two parties has won by such a wide margin!

"Why is this ......?" Hoover asked, looking at the ceiling at the Republican headquarters. It seems to be talking to himself, and he seems to be helplessly asking the other Republicans around him. But no one could answer his question.

At 0:17 a.m., Hoover conceded defeat.

"Wow~~" The entire Democratic Party Department cheered! Everyone threw out the papers in their hands. Warm hugs together! After months of hard work, we finally saw the results! Countless people in the party headquarters cheered loudly!

Kid Roosevelt's think tank Louis. Howe rushed out of the party headquarters, went home, got a bottle of wine, and hurried back!

"Gentlemen! For our victory! For the sake of our president! I propose that we have a toast! As he spoke, he happily poured wine for everyone present! Some people took a good look at the bottle, good guys! This is a 20-year-old bottle of sherry!

There were three babies that night in Beth, Brooklyn. The Eyre Hospital was on the ground, and their parents all borrowed Roosevelt's name, Franklin. Draenau. Mayblan, Franklin. Draenau. Finkelstein, Franklin. Draenau. Larkin.

After the cheers, everyone smiled and slowly left the party headquarters with the excitement of victory. Tu Qianjun was on the same trip with Roosevelt in a car heading towards Roosevelt's home.

In the car. Roosevelt's face was a little haggard. There was tiredness, excitement and a hint of dazedness in his expression.

"Meng Ben, you know that I only had one thing to worry about in my life before my legs and feet were well, and that was a fire. But tonight. It was as if I had taken care of something else. Suddenly, Roosevelt raised his head and whispered to Tu Qianjun

Tu Qianjun looked at the newly elected president of the United States, smiled and asked him softly, "Brother Ruici, what are you worried about?" ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do the job of the president." Roosevelt seemed to have lost a little of his campaign confidence, and lowered his head and said softly. Tu Qianjun looked at Roosevelt and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

No wonder Roosevelt had this concern, in fact the situation in the whole of America is really bad right now! Even, we can describe it with words like close to collapse!

Throughout the early 30s, and especially in the months when the final series of sessions of the 72nd Congress was held, the pace of demonstrations by hungry people was heard across the country. In New York, 35,000 people crowded Federation Square to listen to the speeches.

In Oklahoma City, Minneapolis, and St. Paul. Hordes of people burst into grocery stores and meat markets to grab everything from the shelves.

Most people still feel that they can't bear it anymore, but more and more people are starting to gather everywhere to commit violent acts.

4,000 people occupied the state capitol building in Lincoln, Nebraska, and 5,000 people occupied the ten-story city hall in Seattle. The entire bourgeois apparatus of America is in jeopardy! The number of suicides tripled that winter!

5,000 Chicago teachers broke into a downtown bank. As the Retired Soldier Incident became more familiar to the unemployed with the tune of The Internationale, the tune of the song gradually spread throughout the United States.

The concept of system, the concept of power and the concept of private property. There are already signs of collapse. Some people are engaged in anti-tax campaigns, and some people illegally mine coal seams privately owned by companies, these are all bad omen.

Growing vegetables in open fields without the owner's permission is becoming more and more common; In the city of Detroit, where relief efforts were completely suspended, there were also scattered and aimless riots; These are also very bad.

In some areas, the population has been completely displaced. The city of Key West, Florida, is in bankruptcy. The health department has no funds, and the streets are full of garbage. Hungry people everywhere are talking about it and want to take violent action.

One mayor of Massachusetts watched the 2,000-strong unemployed line circulate around City Hall and wrote, "Just a spark can turn them into a mob." ”

North Carolina Governor Max. Gardner warned that there was already a danger of a "violent social and political revolution". Chicago Mayor Anton. Shermak heard that the state of Illinois would not grant money to help the 600,000 unemployed in Chicago. He told the state legislature: "If you want to stop running the relief station, send the army first." ”

The attitude of the recruitment departments of various companies is becoming more and more rude, the bank tellers are nervous, and the elected mayors and county governors are dispatching the police at every turn, and the police are using batons at every turn.

Henry. Ford, who has always kept his mouth and hands, now carries a gun with him. A delegation from the Unemployed Workers' Council in Richmond, Virginia, visited Mayor Fulmer a few days after Thanksgiving. Bright, the mayor instructed the sheriff, "Grab them by the collar and crotch of their pants and throw them out." ”

The privately hired guards of the Fayette County Mining Company in Pennsylvania panicked. Four miners were shot and killed. New York City prohibits apple sellers from setting up stalls on sidewalks.

The new mayor John . O'Brien also boasted to the townspeople, "Your new mayor is a tough guy, and the Red Party wants to invade New York City." Plainclothes police officers brandished batons and stormed the rally in Federation Square, and according to the New York Times, "women screamed and men's heads bleed." ”

Police in Oklahoma City used tear gas to disperse the people at the meeting. Someone occupied the Seattle municipal building, and the police chased them away with fire hoses.

The police on duty in Chicago used batons against teachers who demanded pay. Two policemen grabbed a middle-aged female teacher, and the other slashed her head and face......

Even Roosevelt's wife, Eleanor, doubted, "Who else can save America now?!" ”

The situation in the whole of America is getting more and more critical! No one seems to be able to stop the revolution, but in the midst of all this crisis there is a group of people trying to stop them. This group of people is naturally Roosevelt and Tu Qianjun.

It's not that Tu Qianjun loves the United States so much. It is really that the future World War II will be inseparable from the United States. Even if he is unwilling, he must try to keep the United States from falling into collapse.

"Brother Ruici! The new President of the United States of America, Benjamin Franklin. Draenau. Mr. Roosevelt! Tu Qianjun looked at Roosevelt's face and said solemnly.

"Trust me! You'll be a good president! You'll go down in history! Become one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States! You will overcome all odds! You will make the people of this country proud of you! ”

Roosevelt raised his head in astonishment and looked at Tu Qianjun, only to find that this young boy was looking at him with his usual firm eyes! Time. Roosevelt felt a warm current of heat running through his chest!

"Thank you! My friend! ”

The car slowly drove into Roosevelt's residential home at No. 49 East 65th Street, and the door had just opened for Roosevelt's mother, Sarah. Roosevelt rushed out with his skirt and hugged Roosevelt, and said happily: "Honey! Do you know?! It was the happiest moment of my life! ”

Roosevelt laughed, and he hugged his mother and kissed her deeply on the forehead! Then he stroked his mother's white hair and whispered, "Yes! Mom, this is also the happiest moment of my life! ”

The next morning, Roosevelt and Tu Qianjun had breakfast at home together, and looked at the editorials of various newspapers across the country sent by the secretary, and looked at these newspapers, and the corners of Roosevelt's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile!

The original slander against him dissipated overnight, and even the Chicago Tribune said that Roosevelt's "personality and ideas were liked by the people." They felt that he had good intentions. Sincerely! ”

At this time, the secretary hurriedly sent a congratulatory telegram from Hoover, first saying that he was "congratulating his election" and then saying that he "hoped for more extensive cooperation", and according to custom, Roosevelt had to call back to show respect. He wrote a few words on the back of the call, saying that he was ready to "work with you" in the coming months.

"Brother Ruici, do we still have to cooperate with this person who brought down the United States?!" I don't know when, Tu Qianjun walked behind Roosevelt with milk. And Roosevelt couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Tu Qianjun! Then he fell into deep thought.

Roosevelt adviser Louis Brown, who had breakfast together. McHenry. Howe slowly put down the bread and milk. He said to Roosevelt in a deep voice: "President, it seems that someone is testing your attitude!" ”

The Chicago Tribune said that Roosevelt was kind and sincere. True! Roosevelt had these qualities, but no one should think that they were weaknesses that could be exploited to their own ends.

If Roosevelt's eyes were not sharp, he would not be able to see what was secretly going on in people's hearts. He can't get the presidency. was able to sit on the throne of the president. Naturally, he is not a fool who is at the mercy of others and is easily blinded!

Roosevelt paused for a moment of contemplation, then casually ticked off the phrase and rewrote it as: "I will do my best to achieve the common goal of you and me, which is to contribute to the country." ”

At that time, the new president was elected, but he would not be inaugurated until March 4 of the following year, and Hoover had a four-month transition period.

"I had a hunch that Hoover wanted to entangle him so that I could not shake off the unpopular policies of the down-and-coming administration. This one. Maybe it's just a temptation on his part......" Roosevelt looked at the telegram and said softly, while Tu Qianjun, who was standing behind him, chuckled and looked at Roosevelt: he guessed right!

But what surprised them the most was that the first batch to come was not Hoover, but **!

Shortly after the election, a group of ** suddenly came to New York at 49 East 65th Street and asked to meet Roosevelt. Of course, Roosevelt met with them, and when the group saw that Roosevelt didn't think about it, they said, "We want you to tell President Hoover that the federal government must ......."

"I can't ask the president to do this or that, I'm just an ordinary citizen to the federal government." Before he could finish his sentence, Roosevelt interrupted unceremoniously!

His words count. Before he took power, he never asked about the government. But he sat Vincent. Astor's yacht went out fishingβ€”and that was the advice his staff gave him. Anyway, there is no ruling now, why do you care so much?! Let Hoover worry about it!

He chose a humble cabinet team, no matter who came to see him. He always seemed to nod yes. Senator Huey of Arkansas. When Lange came to see Roosevelt, he talked to him, and Roosevelt said, "Good! Good! Good!"

However, the next day Huey. Lange's sworn enemy was also Senator Joseph of Arkansas. Robinson's conservative forces approached Roosevelt to talk, but he still said, "Good! Good! Good!"

After a little bit of a walk, everyone finally got it! Presumably, Roosevelt said to everyone, "Good! Good! Good! ”

At that time, the situation of the disintegration of American society was so tight, and Roosevelt blindly adopted a modest, vague, and selfless attitude, which seemed to everyone to be too irresponsible!

Because everyone thinks he should do something, and there is no one more urgent than the outgoing President Hoover.

In November, Hoover sent a telegram to Roosevelt. An interview is recommended. So Roosevelt visited the White House on his way to Georgia. The two talked for most of the afternoon, and it is unknown what they talked about, but the result is obvious! They didn't solve any problems.

In fact, long before this meeting, Roosevelt knew that one of Hoover's cabinet members had said, "We've got this guy in a hole now, and he can't get out of it anymore." ”

But how did the hole that made Roosevelt unable to get out of it?! For several hours in a row, Hoover just wanted to pull the other party on the government's ship, which was about to run out of the roof, but Roosevelt prevaricated and avoided it.

But after this meeting. Roosevelt also felt that it was probably impossible to express his attitude. Hoover's so-called "meeting" and "deliberation" were actually to drag him into this muddy pool! If you show your attitude, you will be swept up!

Roosevelt was not fooled, so poor Hoover had to make his last State of the Union address in the presidency.

The so-called State of the Union address is nothing more than a rehash of the same old tune, saying that taxes should be raised, and European countries should pay off their war debts. He added: "The system we have established is a system of individual freedom. Our American system is based on the freedom of all social and economic forces. "The United States should "have confidence in the future"!

Just after the State of the Union address, the "confident future" US banking system began a general collapse!

That afternoon, Michigan Governor William A. Comstock received an urgent call to attend a banking meeting in the Detroit business district.

By this time, the joint guardianship trust company in Detroit had reached the point of exhaustion, and if it collapsed, the city's banks were likely to fail. Bankers demanded that Comstock order all banks across the state to suspend operations.

In the middle of the night, Comstock agreed, and drove to the capital, Lansing, to announce that all 550 banks in the state would be closed for eight days, saying that "the banks are on holiday." ”

Hoover hastily wrote a letter to Roosevelt in Washington. In a panic, the envelope was misspelled even with the name of his successor. For a while, Roosevelt was accustomed to Hoover's misspelling.

But the letter irritated him. He perused the letter and could not help but scold Hoover for being "shameless". And after Tu Qianjun and the others read the letter in amazement, they couldn't help but feel that Hoover was really an idiot!

Hoover was ashamed to say that the whole country was worried about what the new administration was going to do. He said that he proceeded from the standpoint of patriotism and the maintenance of "confidence". Roosevelt was asked to publicly state that he would not change the current administration's principles and policies.

Groove mud next door! What Roosevelt wanted was the New Deal! Isn't it a slap in the face of a self-defeating statement that you will not make changes to the government's current policy?! And Roosevelt was president! You'll fuck off in a few more months!

After reading this letter, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but sigh! It is no wonder that Roosevelt later gritted his teeth with Hoover's hatred, and even cut out the name of "Hoover" on the Hoover Dam.

Subsequently, Pennsylvania Senator David A. Reid handed Roosevelt a letter from Hoover to himself. After reading this letter, Roosevelt dropped the glass on the spot!

But the letter reads: "I know that if the president-elect does make such a statement, he will endorse all the major policies of the Republican administration." In other words, his so-called New Deal is nine times out of ten. ”

"Roosevelt was an incompetent. It's very easy to deal with! ”

The letter was written in Roosevelt's staff adviser Louis Brown. McHenry. Hao and Tu Qianjun circulated in their hands, and after reading this letter, Tu Qianjun couldn't cry or laugh! Supposedly, Hoover was the one who held the presidency after all! How can you keep doing these two-thing things?!

"He's in a hurry! The dog jumps off the wall! Roosevelt sneered at Tu Qianjun and said in a deep voice: "He has nothing to do now, he can only hope to blind me!" I can't do anything to hide his incompetence! ”

Tu Qianjun suddenly realized, and after figuring it out, he could only smile helplessly. This is the case in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, if you can't do it yourself, you hope that others can't do it well. In this way, their responsibilities are smaller, and by the way, they can hide their incompetence.

But there are very few people who make Hoover so mad and think that others have a halo of mental retardation. A former president who is about to step down. Asking a newly elected president not to reform his own policies, and in the event of an economic crisis that he could not react to! What kind of hydrocephalus does this have to be?!

Of course, Roosevelt refused this kind of thing without hesitation, and even wrote back with only one sentence: I refuse to make this statement, Mr. President.

Roosevelt did not make such a statement, and Hoover's opinion changed again! He was very interested in the then Secretary of State Henry Brown. Stimson said, "Roosevelt was a madman!" He will ruin America! ”

Of course, there is no doubt that this phrase reached Roosevelt again. Hoover, who made Roosevelt a fool and a madman, had not yet seen it clearly. His wrecked ship was sinking. Now everyone is rushing to sell to Roosevelt!

But all this has little to do with Tu Qianjun, and he is leaving the United States.

"Brother Ruici, do you remember the two letters I left you when I left the United States before?!" Tu Qianjun smiled at Roosevelt and said softly, Roosevelt was stunned when he heard this! Then he shouted at the secretary, "God! I really forgot! Fast! Help me get those two letters back! ”

The letter was quickly retrieved, and Roosevelt couldn't wait to open one! But I saw a line written on it: Congratulations! Thirty-second President of the United States of America - Franklin. Draenau. Mr. Roosevelt!

Roosevelt's eyes widened as he looked at the contents of the letter! looked at Tu Qianjun with an incredulous expression...... (To be continued.) If you like this work.
