readx; 1952 was destined to be a year of change, a year of general elections around the world, and Winston Churchill made a comeback in England and was re-elected as Prime Minister at the age of 77. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The presidential race in the United States is also heating up, and with Eisenhower announcing his candidacy and successfully being nominated as the Republican nominee, the election has become quite interesting.

For the Republican Party, this is the end of the people. The best chance for the main party to rule for twenty years is over, Roosevelt is dead, Truman is out of play, and it is the turn of the Republican Party to rule the world. In particular, they successfully won the big hero of Eisenhower, and there is a well-known brand of Eisenhower. What does the main party fight with them?

People. The idea of the main party is very correct, and there is indeed little suspense in this general election, because the gap between the candidates of the two sides is relatively large. The main party candidate, Stevenson? And who doesn't know Eisenhower?

Anyway, it seems that there is no suspense, of course, in fact, there are not no twists and turns in the middle, and the main twists and turns are in Eisenhower's choice. Before Eisenhower decided to run, his party membership was not secured.

Maybe in the eyes of some comrades, this is too incredible, isn't it a very serious matter to join the party? How could Eisenhower not be able to settle this matter when he was old? What did he do decades ago?

Perhaps the best time for the Soviet Union to join the party was when they were in their twenties and thirties, and most party members joined the party at this age. But in the United States, it is different, if you are not determined to enter politics, few people will join the party at a young age. For the average American, joining the party is too far away from them. They may prefer or like a particular party, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will actively join that party.

Eisenhower belonged to the kind of relatively ordinary American, his background was very ordinary, and he probably didn't think much about politics when he decided to join the army in his early years. And to tell the truth, Eisenhower's generation of Americans did not catch up with the good times, just after the first war, the Senate was disarmed and released Mananshan, and once Eisenhower's job may not be saved, or Barton found a relationship to find him a position as MacArthur's adjutant.

Throughout the thirties, Eisenhower probably did not think about making any achievements in politics, although at that time he was not outstanding in military ability, but very strong in organization, especially good at dealing with politics.

Anyway, Eisenhower probably didn't think that he would become president of the United States in the future, and there was no way to talk about natural political ideas. Maybe he agreed with the Republican Party's ideas at the time, but he would never show his inclination towards the Republican Party, after all, the president of the United States at that time was Roosevelt, who was a hardcore citizen. Lords. And the commander-in-chief of the European Allied forces with a Republican background may displease the president, and Eisenhower should choose neutrality as long as he has a little political IQ, and not taking a position is the best choice.

It should be said that Eisenhower benefited a lot from this kind of non-statement, because we can see that after the end of World War II, the Republican Party still did not improve, but Roosevelt did not say that he could not do Truman, which is simply humiliating, and every time the Republican Party is thundering and raining before the election results come out, public opinion and opinion polls are optimistic, but there is no way to get on that throne, it can simply be angry.

After losing for 20 years in a row, it is true that the Republican Party wants to say that there is no sense of crisis, so they are determined to win the new election, so they also took out the best bargaining chips to win the candidates.

Some comrades may wonder that a party still needs to co-opt candidates? It's scary, isn't it? Down, right? There has always been only individuals who are collective, how can it be the other way around? Now it's the other way around, because the Republican Party has lost and lost again before, which is really humiliating, so they have to find a candidate with high prestige and a good image to follow the people. The main party fights in the ring. And this kind of candidate is not seen among Republican party members for the time being, which means that the Republican Party must temporarily grab a "foreign aid" to help.

Don't think this is peculiar, look at the later election battle between Trump and Hillary, did Trump clarify his Republican membership at the beginning? Let's put it this way, the original Trump was more like a non-party person. Even after he later clarified his Republican membership, didn't there be a large group of people in the Republican Party who didn't buy it.

For the two-party politics in the United States, the issue of the presidential candidate's party membership is really not so important, as long as the candidate has enough prestige to attract votes, both parties will welcome it unconditionally.

It's as simple as that, for the Republicans back then, it was natural to keep their eyes wide open to search for suitable candidates in the country, and soon Eisenhower's side twisted and half-concealed the intention of engaging with the Republican Party. For the Republican Party, Eisenhower is simply the coveted presidential candidate, with a good public image, high prestige, and a commander-in-chief hero in World War II, and more importantly, Eisenhower still has considerable connections in the political arena.

So we ask, why did Eisenhower choose the Republican Party? Tell the truth what the Republican Party can give to his people. Isn't it the same thing for the main party to give him the same election?

It must be said that Eisenhower was a natural politician and was much more talented in this regard than in military talent. In his opinion, the people. The main party is already exhausted, why do you say that? First, the people. The main party has been in power for 20 years, and to tell the truth, the common people are already a little tired, and they may be more interested in choosing a different president with a different taste. Second, the people. The main party has been a bit disappointing in recent years, and its current approval rating is a bit low, even if Eisenhower is on the side of the people. There is no guarantee that the main party will win. Moreover, even if he wins the US presidential election, he is very likely to lose the election of the Senate and House of Representatives, and once the Republican Party continues to control the Senate and House of Representatives, it will be a tragedy for the president, and it is almost impossible to achieve anything. Eisenhower didn't want to be president of the United States for just one term, and he was a bit ambitious in that regard. The most important reason is the third reason, Eisenhower is not without supporters, and most of these supporters are from the arms group. The main party is not closely related to this circle, and if he turns to the people. The party will have to say goodbye to its old friends.

Eisenhower wasn't that stupid in the people. It was naturally clear how to choose between the main party and the Republican Party, so he chose the Republican Party without surprise. This choice is not bad, and it is a win-win for both the Republican Party and Eisenhower.

And Li Xiaofeng is also quite concerned about this election in the United States, and he knows that if nothing else, Eisenhower will definitely be elected. And this President Eisenhower is really just a spokesman for big capital, why do you say that? Just look at what Eisenhower's major government leaders were.

One of the peculiarities of the Eisenhower administration was that almost all important government positions were occupied by representatives of big business. Dulles, chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation, became secretary of state, and Wilson, general manager of DuPont General Motors, and Keys, deputy general manager, became secretary of defense and deputy secretary respectively. Wilson, who owns more than $2 million in General Motors stock, had a twist and turn when his appointment was being discussed in the Senate. When asked by lawmakers how he handles the relationship between the state and the company, he replied: "I think what is good for General Motors is good for the United States, and vice versa." ”

Later, this phrase became a "famous saying" in the United States, often quoted, and it clearly illustrated the close connection between the government and the consortium. Among the other cabinet ministers, with the exception of the Minister of Labour, who is the head of the trade union, the rest are also entrepreneurs, nicknamed the cabinet of eight millionaires and a plumber. Wait until Secretary of Labor Martin. After Dugin's resignation, he was an all-in-one big business owner, and even in the White House, capitalists dominated. As a result, American newspapers called his government a "big business syndicate."

Obviously, what President Eisenhower had to do was to safeguard the interests of the big capitalists, and for the big capitalists in the United States, which had been extremely inflated after the war, the greatest interest was to compete extensively for cheap raw materials and commodity dumping markets around the world. And that means expansion.

Expanding its sphere of influence abroad became Eisenhower's top priority, and would an expanding United States be easy to deal with? It was certainly difficult for the Soviet Union to deal with, which meant that the Soviet Union would have to face more external pressure. In particular, it should be noted that Churchill was also re-invited to No. 10 Downing Street, how could this old fox let go of the opportunity for the fox to fake the tiger.

Li Xiaofeng believed that it would not be long before the United States and Britain would initially unite and form an evil axis to strike at the Soviet Union.

It should be said that Li Xiaofeng's guess was completely correct, because immediately after Eisenhower's election, Churchill immediately embarked on a new round of Washington tour, and the two old friends who had worked together in World War II talked happily, and the tone of future Anglo-American relations was initially set between the conversation and laughter.

Of course, this tone is very old, nothing more than the set of special partnerships, but this special partnership is a little different from the previous ones. In the previous Roosevelt-era special partnership, Britain and the United States were basically equal, while the Anglo-American special partnership in the Eisenhower era the United States had become the leader, while Britain had become a follower.

To tell the truth, Churchill himself naturally did not like this relationship, but Churchill was a politician, he knew when he could only endure and pretend to be his grandson, the current British Empire is not as good as before, it is already a solid and broken settlement, and then wandering in the glory of the past is really only a dead end.

So Churchill was very realistic, and if the United States as a big brother could bring benefits to a dying empire, why not? Therefore, he passed the relevant resolution against the consensus, according to the agreement reached between Britain and the United States, Britain transferred a series of overseas powers to the United States in exchange for a new round of economic aid from the United States. In the future, Britain will respect the leadership of the United States in international affairs and help the United States continue to maintain the system that the British Empire has spent hundreds of years building.

All in all, Churchill's strategy was to shrink and retreat, anyway, with the post-war economic tensions, Britain was no longer able to maintain the existence of the global interests of the British Empire, rather than watching those territories being encroached upon by the United States and the Soviet Union in various ways, it was better to take the initiative to give the United States a favor in exchange for concessions from the United States on other interests.

Churchill, for example, received more concessional financial aid, amounting to $3 billion, which gave a sigh of relief to an empire on the verge of financial collapse. For example, the Americans agreed to Britain's continued colonial interests in Africa, which was somewhat a fig leaf.

The main thing is that Churchill kept the system that he had maintained for three centuries, and as long as this system remained, the British Empire could still play. As the so-called 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, who dares to say that the British Empire will have no chance of ZTE in the future?

Churchill considered himself a man of a generation who endured humiliation and humiliation, saved his country from danger. It's just that Li Xiaofeng doesn't see it that way, in his opinion, although the British are holding a sigh of relief, but there is no chance of a comeback, after redefining the relationship between Britain and the United States, Britain is only a subordinate of the United States, and in the future in the distribution of international interests, it is definitely the United States that takes the big head and Britain takes the small head, and there is not enough benefit to how can Britain grow stronger?

To put it bluntly, according to the new relationship between Britain and the United States, Britain can only be a subordinate of the United States for the rest of its life, and it is simply a fool's dream to overtake it.

There may be comrades who are going to disagree again, saying that if the United States falls, won't Britain be able to come out again? The problem is that if you think about it, it was only the Soviet Union that could bring down the United States, and the Soviet Union would take the turn of Britain to take the lead if the United States was defeated. What's more, according to the new special friendship relationship between Britain and the United States, the strategic interests between Britain and the United States can be tied very tightly, and it can be said that both glory and loss can be lost.

Let's put it this way, what Churchill did was not to support the building, but to re-paste the dilapidated house of the British Empire, which looked brand new, but the essence was still the dilapidated house. After some years of wind, frost, rain and snow, these pasted parts will fall off, revealing the essence of the broken house. To put it bluntly, it is just a self-deceptive face-saving project.

It seems that Churchill's actions bought time for Britain, but in essence, it is just a matter of prolonging the hunger, without changing the dilapidated house itself, and no amount of whitewashing can change the increasingly dilapidated nature of the house. When the time comes, the house will collapse with a bang. And what Li Xiaofeng needs to do is to speed up the aging process of this dilapidated house...... (To be continued.) )
