The New York Police Department also became furious and immediately issued an early warning report to New York State and New York City, believing that if the situation is allowed to develop, it is likely to lead to unmanageable consequences.

The police chief even vowed that if he didn't interfere, he might "repeat the 1932 Pennsylvania Street tragedy." ”

It was another piece of the United States' black history that it did not want to be talked about.

It is well known that Red Russia has always used bayonets against the people who demonstrate and protest - in fact, this is a rhetoric that has been outdated before, and the latest view is that the demonstrations and protests in Red Russia were peaceful and enthusiastic, because they were organized and initiated by the higher party committees - but in any case, the last bloodshed in front of the Kremlin has to be traced back to the time of Tsar Nicholas II.

But......

The chief of staff, Major General MacArthur, had a corncob pipe in his mouth and said to Eisenhower indifferently: It is most appropriate to mobilize tanks and transfer Patton's Third Cavalry Regiment to do it. The 12th Infantry Regiment, the 13th Engineer Regiment, and the 34th Infantry Regiment came. Requisitioned 3,000 tear gas canisters from Aberdeen Proving Ground and Edgewood Arsenal. Bridges and important locations are set up for defense, and heavy machine guns are erected.

At the moment, MacArthur earns $10,400 a year and has access to the only luxury car in the General Staff.

The latter expressed doubts and tried to convince his superiors that it was better not to be so violent

Eventually, however, with his trademark pearl-handled revolver at his waist, Patton ordered the cavalry to charge, followed by the bayonet-wielding infantry and six tanks......

You must know that at this time, the United States Army is not the first in the world, and it is only ranked 16th in the world, so it is obviously a big deal to be able to dispatch tanks......

Just looking at the description, many people would think that this should be a battle on the Western Front in World War I.

But it actually happened in 1932, right on Pennsylvania Avenue, and the cavalry and tanks targeted American veterans who had fought in World War I with missing arms and legs.

In fact, these veterans did not ask for much.

In 1924, the "Certificate of Service Amendment Act" stipulated that an additional $1,000 would be given to disabled veterans, and it should be admitted that in 1924 this was not a small amount of money, the average annual salary in the United States was only a little more than $100, and the property at that time was low, and $1,000 saved a little money, enough to support a family of three for three years.

You must know that a brand-new Chevrolet is only $450 this year, and by the way, Major Eisenhower, who is serving as the adjutant of Major General MacArthur at the moment, has an annual salary of $3,000.

But!

Because of the economic difficulties of the United States, the money could not be actually sent out until 1945.

Good guys, you can pay it until 20 years from now, and in this era of life expectancy in the early 50s, a delay of 20 years is enough for the government to save at least half of the money, not counting inflation.

However, the lovely people of the United States still endured it, after all, they forbearance for the country......

But the economic crisis that broke out in 29 years left these poor people with missing arms and legs completely in a crisis of life, the factories were closed, the world was depressed, and they could no longer live.

So they gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue to petition that the government do well, send the money in advance, and that they were willing to bear the loss of interest - that is, not $1,000 in 1945, but $500 in 1932.

But President Hoover was unwilling, and eventually lost patience, and the president believed that "there was a conspiracy of the Soviets in this"

(PS: Eisenhower's dissuasion that MacArthur had better be less violent is from Ike's (Eisenhower's nickname) memoirs, PS2: This memoir was published after MacArthur's death.) ）

This became the greatest humiliation of the founding of the United States, especially Major Patton, who was in charge of direct military operations, and was saved by a comrade who was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal when he was in charge of direct military operations, and who nearly died while fighting the Germans in the Argonne Forest in France, but who was also knocked to the head at the Battle of Pennsylvania Street.

The consequence of this incident was that President Hoover's tenure was nailed to the coffin, and Roosevelt would have won the inevitable victory, because two babies had suffocated to death due to gas inhalation during military operations......

The incident caused an uproar.

Justice Hugo Black, who was known as the "Don Quixote of the High Court" at the time as a senator from Alabama, angrily issued a statement that this was the greatest disgrace of the United States and that the orderers and executors should be thrown to jail.

Off topic, Justice Hugo Black has a high reputation for making a large number of excellent rulings after being nominated to justice during Roosevelt's tenure, and is a gem of the law of the United States.

However, the justice was once a ...... Oh...... The Ku Klux Klan, although he had already resigned before becoming a justice, is actually quite understandable, how can a Senator from Alabama not participate in the Ku Klux Klan get the support of those "Southern Democrats"?

And the Chancellor himself seemed to regret this, after publicly admitting that he was "ignorant in his youth" and then confessing that "some of my best and closest friends were Catholics and Jews", adding that he had hired a Jew to carry out his will.

It's a nice word, but there are some things that can be done...... For example, it was justified in supporting Roosevelt's "expulsion of all people of Japanese ancestry" from certain designated areas on the West Coast, after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

But the chief justice is the last guardian of the United States, bearing the heavy responsibility of confronting the populists, and his choice cannot be wrong, and it can even be a manifestation of a patriot, but for the position of a big official, it is a bit too radical.

Overall, however, Justice Hugo Black remains very respected, and he continues to play that important role on the Supreme Court.

It seems that the riots of 1932 have nothing to do with Wall Street, but don't forget, the nursery rhyme of the United States once sang like this, "Mellon blew the whistle, Hoover beat the brass drum, Wall Street gave instructions, and the United States went to hell".

Treasury Minister Andrew Mellon, hailed by various Wall Street-controlled newspapers as the best Treasury secretary, and under his brilliant fiscal policies (there was no Federal Reserve at this time, and the First and Second Reserve Banks had been closed for a long time), the economy was booming, and the country entered the most glorious chapter of the "Gilded Age".

But such a prosperous economy and national power are unwilling to pay the veterans' hard work......

In 1924, it was a beautiful era of flowers and fire.

The good finance minister, however, asked the head of the Federal Tax Service to write him a memo detailing 12 ways to avoid taxes.

The IRS boss personally stepped in to help politicians provide tax avoidance services, is there any reason for this FXXK?

When the news was poked out, the whole country was shocked.

The Treasury had to send a commissioner to investigate, and it was found that Mr. Mellon had adopted five recommendations, such as misrepresenting losses.

For this reason, the senators could not sit still and immediately launched impeachment.

However, Mellon's lawyer jumped out to accuse the New York Times, which poked the matter out, "this is providing ammunition to radicals......

And Mellon happens to be the darling of Wall Street.

These are things that the baby boomers don't know much.

But police and government officials have experienced it firsthand, so they naturally understand how powerful it is.

Mayor Lindsay immediately called acquaintances in Washington and later called two Democratic senators in New York State when he received the report.

After hanging up the phone, the report was immediately faxed to the senator's desk.

Senior Senator Andrew Percy, who spearheaded the "letter to the court" and organized protest marches in the Bergman case.

Of course, he understood the threat on the phone from Mayor Lindsay: "Although I am a Republican, you can stumble on me, but don't forget that the executive power is now in the hands of the Republicans, which is really big and not good for everyone." ”

After reading the report, Mr. Percy took the initiative to call Mayor Lindsay.

At present, Nixon is sitting in the White House, the cabinet is all Republican, and although the two houses are still dominated by the Democrats, the proportion is gradually approaching.

People like Mr. Percy are politicians, but they are also patriots.

At least most of the time, he sincerely intended to defend the country's system, because only in this way could he make more money, and he knew very well that if in other countries, people like him would probably be hanged, and even the gallows were extravagant, and the "mob" liked to use street lamps the most......

Percy: "Mayor, I have just carefully read the report you provided, and I have to say, it is very well written. ”

Lindsay: "Thanks for the compliment, but now is the time to make a decision. ”

Percy: "So, what do you think?" ”

Lindsay: "The police force is definitely not enough, and now there are hundreds of more tents and countless sleeping bags on Wall Street, you know that the police force in New York is not enough......"

Percy: "So you want to mobilize the National Guard?" You should go to the governor, I support it, but I would like to warn that it could make the form worse."

Lindsay: "Yes, you and I are very aware of that, the people involved in this case are very complex, and there is enough evidence to believe that there may be a mix of violent elements, but the police are not able to act right now because it could lead to an escalation of tensions. Frankly, now their slogan is 'Occupy Wall Street.'" But over time, it is likely to get out of control and become the destruction of Wall Street. ”

Percy "I agree with your judgment"

Lindsay: "And, starting this afternoon, the Russian consulate in New York is like it's Christmas, and so are the offices of TASS and Pravda, who are eager to send out the cleaners. I don't think they're just there for the news. ”

Percy "You mean, they're going to plot the action?" ”

Lindsay: "It's hard to say, but I think they definitely have that idea, and while New Yorkers aren't going to work with them, it's a good possibility that there's potential for chaos in extreme situations right now." ”

Master Percy sighed, "Mr. Mayor, if your next goal is to enter Capitol Hill, I have to admit that you have a talent for it. Okay, I got it. ”

Mr. Percy is the second-in-command of the Senate Judiciary Committee, one of the three oldest standing committees in the Senate.

But he had been involved in banking, housing and urban affairs committees, and had a fairly good network of contacts in related industries.

The SEC reports annually to Congress, mainly by the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Commissioners.

Half an hour later, Mayor Lindsay's phone rang again

Lindsay: "Your Excellency, is this going well?" ”

Percy: "I called John from the SEC, and actually, they weren't idle all day, and they've been meeting to discuss Robin Hood. Actually, Robin Hood wasn't my fault. ”

Lindsay: "I understand, but it's not a bad question right now. I interrupted that KGB had already started to blend in with the people, and I couldn't ask the FBI to intervene yet, because it wouldn't be useful if I did. Unless we can throw them straight to the bottom of the Hudson River without us noticing. ”

Percy: "I understand your thoughts very well, John said that they would meet overnight to try to come up with a reasonable solution tomorrow morning. To be honest, I was actually on the side of these demonstrators this time. ”

Mayor Lindsay was stunned, Mr. Percy himself has a lot to do with Wall Street, otherwise he wouldn't have been in the banking committee for 20 years, but how did he change his sex today? "This ......"

Percy: "Weird? I don't have to deceive you......"

This is the truth, and it is true that I am cheating, but lying in front of the other party is not the style of a mature politician, which will be looked down upon.

Lindsay: "Of course I believe in your honesty. ”

Percy: "This time it's Mel Pfister who went too far...... Including Shaq Hayne and Nikolas Mojevic. National Cinemas is a stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which is within the United States. Financial speculation is certainly not a problem, but if it is because of extreme greed......" he was rarely stunned at this point

"Because of extreme greed," Mr. Percy's tone unconsciously lightened when he said this phrase again, and it sounded a little weak-hearted, "and it is clearly not in the interests of the United States to ignore the correct principles of economics and pricing rules, and to try to reduce the financial markets to a mere financial arena." ”

"I understand," replied Mayor Lindsay, "that at the moment our goal is the same. ”

"Yes," Senator Percy agreed, "I want the financial markets to be stable, and you want Wall Street to open normally tomorrow...... Percy paused and continued, "This is John's attitude just now, as a veteran of the industry, his views also represent the opinions of the SEC to a certain extent..."

However, "although facing senior senators, Lindsay is obviously not afraid of each other, he is the mayor of the world's largest metropolis, there can be 100 senators, but the mayor of New York can only be the only one, which makes him quite confident to speak, "Mr. Percy" from beginning to end, the two only call each other by their surnames on the phone.

"Mr. Percy, I would like to ask, is there a special interpretation policy on the SEC side?"

"I'm sorry, I can't answer you right now, it's not that I can hide it, in fact, the SEC, the Financial Supervisory Authority, and even the lawmakers are very concerned about this matter, but there is no precedent to refer to, so they also need to take the time to discuss the issue. But I can promise you again that our goal is the same, and we all hope that the market will open normally tomorrow. ”

Mayor Lindsay "But ......", it is clear that he took the initiative to contact Master Percy for more than just a promise.

It is true that the goals of the two sides are the same, Mayor Lindsay's purpose is to pull Percy into the water together, in case this matter cannot be ended in the end, Lindsay will definitely take the blame and resign, but as a loyal member of the Republican Party, he has to pull a back.
