Theodore. Roosevelt and Woodrow. Although Wilson's meeting was very short, less than an hour before and after, it had a far-reaching impact on the United States and even the world. In the face of internal and external troubles, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have joined hands to deal with this crisis, and the first unlucky one is not China, the enemy of the United States, but President Taft, who is still in the White House and refuses to leave.

According to Theodore. Roosevelt and Woodrow. Wilson reached a deal in which the two parties worked together to remove Taft from the White House. Then, Theodore. Roosevelt took office in the White House and formed a new administration. However, in the new administration, including the vice president, the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of justice, the secretary of agriculture, the secretary of post, and the secretary of commerce and labor, are all Democrats, and the Republican Party only has four positions: president, secretary of war, secretary of the navy, and secretary of the interior. Roosevelt was in charge of the war with China, and all domestic affairs were left to the Democratic Party. It can be said that in order to win over the Democrats and Woodrow. Wilson, this time Republican and Theodore. Roosevelt paid a big price. There's no way around it, and who told them that the Republican president was the one who caused this crisis? In order to resolve the crisis quickly, the Republican Party can only cede a large part of its interests.

Theodore. Roosevelt and Woodrow. After Wilson reached an agreement, he had to convince the bigwigs in their respective parties. Any political party is an interest group, not a monolith. Within both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, there is opposition to bipartisan cooperation. However, this is only a small number of people, and most of them are in favor of a temporary bipartisan cooperation. Although these politicians have their own interests, they are also very aware that the United States is now facing a serious crisis, and if it cannot survive this crisis, it will be superfluous to say anything.

In Theodore. Roosevelt and Woodrow. Thanks to Wilson's efforts, it took a short time for the two parties to unify their thinking. After that, the members of the Senate began to move to reconvene parliament and initiate the impeachment of President Taft and remove him from the White House.

And in between, Theodore. Roosevelt also secretly met with Admiral Pershing. After General Pershing's departure from Chilpansingo, he accelerated his return to the United States, returning to Washington on the evening of April 1. Late that night, he and Theodore, who had rushed to Washington to preside over the situation. Roosevelt met. After the meeting, Theodore. Roosevelt first thanked General Pershing for his help, if it had not been for the fact that General Pershing had first reported the news of the disastrous defeat of the American forces at Chilpansingo. Roosevelt's words, he also had no chance to bring down President Taft completely.

"General Pershing, I am very dissatisfied with the injustice you have received. Also, thank you for the news. Once I'm back in the White House, I'll nominate you for the post of Army Chief of Staff! "Theodore. Roosevelt said. This time Admiral Pershing had done him a great favor, and of course he should have rewarded Admiral Pershing well. It's just that the only thing a soldier can hold is the post of chief of staff, and unless General Pershing is willing to take off his uniform, he can't hold a higher position. Also, Theodore. Roosevelt also hoped to win over General Pershing, and although General Pershing had not been promoted to general for a long time, he still had a certain influence in the US Army. Theodore. Roosevelt needed the help of Admiral Pershing to quickly control the U.S. Army.

"Your Excellency Roosevelt, this is what I should do, and the reason why I am doing this is for the sake of the United States!" Admiral Pershing said sternly, however, he then continued: "As for the post of Chief of Staff of the Army, I don't think I am suitable, I hope to be able to continue to command troops at the front and fight the Chinese until their plot is thwarted and they are driven out of America!" ”

Admiral Pershing was reluctant to serve as Army Chief of Staff. Roosevelt was taken aback. However, after Admiral Pershing explained the reason, he immediately understood. Admiral Pershing, like him, did not do it for promotion and wealth, but for the United States to survive this crisis. In addition, General Pershing is also the only general in the U.S. Army who has rich experience in fighting with squadrons, and will rely on Admiral Pershing for a large part of the future war with China.

"In that case, then I won't force it. As soon as I become president, I will immediately reinstate you in your duties, and you will continue to command the U.S. military operations in Mexico. When the time comes, I will fully support you until the Chinese are defeated! "Theodore. Roosevelt said.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Admiral Pershing said happily. He is a natural soldier, let him sit in the office, he will be very bored, he should play the stage, should be on the battlefield. Although he has been defeated by China again and again until now, he has not! Put hope.!

"General Pershing, who do you think is the most suitable of the army generals to be the chief of staff of the army?" Theodore. Roosevelt asked.

"Your Excellency the President, I think that the current Chief of Staff, Leonard . . . Admiral Wood is a good fit. Previously, because of Taft's constraints, General Wood's talents could not be brought into play. Moreover, if General Wood is allowed to remain in office, it will also make the army more stable! Admiral Pershing said. Leonard. The relationship between General Wood and General Pershing is relatively good, and instead of changing an unfamiliar person to the post of Army Chief of Staff, it is better to let Leonard . Admiral Wood will remain in office, which is also a good thing for Admiral Pershing.

Theodore. Roosevelt hesitated, but nodded. The reason given by Admiral Pershing is very reasonable, it is now a wartime, and it is better for the army not to have any turmoil, otherwise it will cause great damage to the United States.

At 9 a.m. on April 2, despite President Taft's opposition, U.S. Senate President Pro Tempore William Brown. Frey still organized 96 senators to convene a meeting to impeach incumbent President Taft. Because it was wartime, all unnecessary procedures had been simplified, and when 18 Republican lawmakers jointly submitted a motion of no confidence in President Taft, the senators immediately discussed it. At this time, President Taft, who was the party, was not present.

After half an hour of discussion, a vote was taken. Of the 96 senators, 92 voted in favor and only four abstained. Thus, according to the U.S. Constitution, impeachment came into effect, and President Taft was legally ousted. The senators then moved on to the next item on the issue, the selection of the vice president. According to an agreement between Republicans and Democrats, Woodrow. Wilson was elected vice president without any doubt. As for the right to elect the president, it belongs to the House of Representatives.

In the afternoon, the deputies of the House of Representatives also held an emergency meeting, and after a heated debate among more than 400 representatives, they finally elected Theodore. Roosevelt's proposal for the President of the United States. And the current president, William. Howard. Taft was still not there.

However, he had already announced in the morning that during the war, the US Congress was in recess, and any proposal had no legal effect. It is clear that even at this moment, Taft is not willing to give up all the strength in his hands. It's just that the people's hearts are no longer on his side.

In the House of Representatives to elect Theodore. After Roosevelt became president of the United States, a large crowd of tens of thousands of people gathered at the White House, all of whom were supporters of the Republican and Democratic mobilizations, shouting slogans such as 'Taft get out of the White House,' to put pressure on Taft. However, President Taft became an ostrich.

In fact, by this time, Taft's position was already precarious, and with the Republicans having abandoned him, and the Senate had impeached him, and the House of Representatives had elected a new president, he had no chance of turning the tables around. The only thing he can rely on is probably the army. However, the U.S. military is not loyal to a certain person or a certain political party, but to the United States. In such a situation, Taft would have to rely on the army to keep his position, which is also impossible.

U.S. Army Chief of Staff Leonard. Admiral Wood was also received by Theodore. President Roosevelt summoned when Theodore. President Roosevelt explicitly told him that he would continue to serve as Army Chief of Staff when Leonard. Admiral Wood was grateful, and without hesitation, he threw Taft away.

On the evening of April 2, a crowd protesting outside the White House attempted to storm the White House. Officers of the White House Guard, on the orders of President Taft, ordered to open fire on the crowd. However, the soldiers hesitated. When Theodore. President Roosevelt and Woodrow. When Vice President Wilson appeared in front of the White House together, the soldiers guarding the White House chose to back down.

President Taft witnessed the qiē from his office on the second floor of the White House, and he knew that it was too late and that he had become a complete failure. He knew very well that in the event that the army had betrayed him, Theodore. There is no doubt that President Roosevelt is once again in the White House. And, because of what he did, he could also be tried by the Supreme Court, much to the horror of President Taft.

So he sent to Theodore. President Roosevelt sent a message indicating that he was willing to resign and leave the White House. President Roosevelt had to pardon him. Theodore. President Roosevelt considered it for a moment and agreed to Taft's request.

At eight o'clock that night, Taft moved out of the White House. President Roosevelt is in the White House again!
