December 24, 2774 (1933), White House, United States.

The economic crisis on this plane is much bigger and more harmful. Under these conditions, the social contradictions in the United States have become even more acute. However, compared with the original time and space, the United States has an advantage, that is, they have reaped much more benefits in World War I, more than 5 million square kilometers of new territory, and the repatriation of nearly 10 million blacks, so that they have enough space to move, the implementation of the new homestead law, so that their social conflicts can barely be maintained in a situation that does not erupt.

But this can only be delayed, after all, those new territories are not good for both population and economy, and cannot be used as a market to digest their products, so that those who are bankrupt can only have something to eat, so that they will not starve to death. If the economy cannot recover for a long time, this social contradiction will certainly erupt.

So, under these conditions, the United States began to turn to the right. In last year's presidential election, the hapless Hoover was defeated, although he was a famous humanitarian, but he was useless, and humanitarianism could not bring economic prosperity, and could not solve unemployment and hunger, so he had to step down.

In the original plane, it was Franklin Roosevelt who came to power, but Roosevelt's classmates on this plane hung up in India long before World War I. While investigating the "Indian arms incident", he was attacked by Indian extremists and died in the line of duty. (See Chapter 220)

Therefore, the new president of the Democratic Party was the candidate of the Democratic Party -- John Nance Ghana, who put forward a plan to "implement a new deal and save the economy" in the election, which was a great success, winning the presidency with an overwhelming majority of votes. The Ghanaian president is a native of Texas and is nicknamed "Cactus-Jack." This man is notoriously hard-liner, and he's a "redneck" (white supremacist racist in the United States), plus a Monroeist. He served as the 44th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1931 to 1933 and the 32nd Vice President of the U.S. from 1933 to 1941.

At the beginning of 1933, when Ghana became president, the storm of the Great Depression swept through the United States, and there was unemployment, bankruptcy, bankruptcy, and plummeting, and American pain, fear, and despair everywhere. As a result, Garner actively gave speeches to boost morale, and he also showed great confidence, declaring that his "New Deal" would definitely save the United States. Thanks to his active activities, the morale of the American people has finally stabilized temporarily.

Actively pursue the "New Deal for Ghana" with relief, reform and rehabilitation as the main contents. The content of this "Ghana New Deal" is similar to that of the "Roosevelt administration" in the original time and space, which is to abandon the traditional laissez-faire, strengthen government intervention in the economic field, implement deficit finance, vigorously develop public utilities, and increase the infrastructure of new territories to stimulate the economy.

But the Ghanaian went a step further and added fascist policies, such as restricting non-white immigration and continuing to deport blacks and people of color and Latinos from the country, whom he claimed were taking jobs from whites. And he also reversed the Hoover administration's approach by freezing the property of Jews who had not yet been evacuated, claiming that these Jews had caused the economic crisis, well, that argument is not wrong.

So the United States is trying to save itself while excluding blacks, Asians and Latinos, and Jews. Moreover, this time the United States acted very decisively and ruthlessly against the Jews, first freezing all Jewish assets, and at the same time ordering restrictions on the departure of Jews, in addition, the information they obtained was very accurate, and many Jewish hidden accounts and assets were also dug up by the FBI.

In fact, this action against the Jews was also completed with the support of the American consortium, and these American consortium predators have long been like making another profit, and they have coveted the wealth of the American Jews for a long time. Although many of these rich Jews are their partners, this kind of friendship is too untested in the face of interests. Besides, because the Jews left the market early, the economic crisis affected their plans, so that their sheep shearing operations made many mistakes, and the losses caused were quite small.

As a result, the Jews who are still in the United States are unlucky, and the government and Wall Street predators have joined forces to seal off their property, so that they cannot withdraw even a penny in their deposits.

It is worth mentioning that the director of the FBI on this plane is not the Edgar Hoover of the original plane, this Hoover dude served in the army during World War I and hung up in the United Kingdom. Not to mention going to the head of the FBI, I don't even have a chance to enter this unit. The current director of the FBI is a man named Jean Zaku, nicknamed "Zagu of the Seven Days" because of his love for ancient astrology. This Zagu bureau seat was unknown in the original time and space, but he had the help of God in handling cases, and began to emerge in the days of the Bureau of Investigation (BOI, the predecessor of the FBI), and later made great contributions to last year's "veteran incident" and became the director. In July this year, the Bureau of Investigation was reorganized into the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and became its first director.

At the outbreak of the economic crisis, the Zagu bureau began to pay attention to gathering information about the Jews, and now it has done so in one fell swoop. He unearthed a large number of hidden Jewish assets, which greatly improved the government's predicament.

No matter what foreign countries say about the new president, the "Ghana New Deal" has indeed played a great role, and the US economy has begun to improve since its development in September this year. By Christmas this year, I can finally have a slightly more comfortable year, but compared to before the crisis, it is much worse.

"Kodell, what else can be done to speed up the economic recovery?" asked Ghana, rubbing his forehead, to the secretary of state. Comrade Cactus was still not satisfied with the current situation, and he felt that he could do better.

Secretary of State Cordell Hull spread his hands and said helplessly: "Mr. President, the current international market is generally weak, and the major powers have erected trade barriers, which is really not easy to do. It's not easy for us to get to where we are now. "This Cordell Hull was also Secretary of State from the time and time after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president, and served until 1944. He served as Secretary of State for nearly twelve years, longer than any of his predecessors and the longest-serving Secretary of State in U.S. history. He is also considered to be the most outstanding secretary of state in the history of the United States.

In the history of the original time and space, the United States could also take advantage of the weakness of old Europe after World War I to play in a small circle in the Americas and conclude trade agreements and tariff reciprocity treaties with Latin American countries. In the original time and space, this Hull personally went out and signed a series of reciprocal trade agreements with Latin American countries, reducing tariffs by 30 to 50 percent. In this way, the United States can export large quantities of capital and dump products to these regions, expanding its already shrinking foreign markets.

After the all-out war in South America, the pattern of the whole of South America has completely changed, and now there are only five countries left in the whole of South America. Colombia is an old enemy, so you don't have to ask. Chile and Paraguay have clearly leaned toward China, while Brazil, in turn, leans toward the Entente and is at war with Britain and France, while Argentina is in league with the Allies. That's not where to start.

Ghana sighed and said, "In this way, we can only increase public spending and increase infrastructure in the three West African states, Guyana and the Caribbean." ”

"Mr. President, can you talk to China? Now, only their market can meet our needs, as long as they are willing to increase our market share, it will be much better. Although the USSR did not have an economic crisis, their market capacity was too small. ”

"But China doesn't need our industrial products now, they just need raw material ......," Ghana shook his head.

"China itself doesn't need it, but they can change hands, the People's Revolutionary Federation is now building a peak, and their products are definitely not enough. Now that the People's Revolutionary Federation has closed its market to the outside world, it can only find a way to ...... through China."

While they were discussing, the secretary walked in and said to Ghana, "Mr. President, the film crew is ready, can we start now?"

"Okay, let's get started. Kodel, we'll talk about that later. I'm going to do a pre-Christmas fireside talk show today......" Garner stood up.

"Okay, President......"

Although Roosevelt hung up, it is not surprising that "Fireside Chat," a program that uses mass communication to conduct political public relations activities, has appeared. Roosevelt hung up, but the Democratic Party's group of think tanks didn't, they originally came up with this thing, and Ghana can still use it.

However, the "fireside chat" on the plane is even more advanced, not only on radio stations, but also on television stations. Americans listened to his speech not only on the radio, but also on television.

At this time, in front of the fireplace in the reception room for foreign guests downstairs of the Presidential Palace, the staff had already installed a loudspeaker next to the fireplace and set up cameras around it. Journalists from major media outlets, including ABC, CBS, and Common Broadcasting, are ready to do the interview.

Garner smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that this speech will be more cordial, free from the pomp and circumstance of officialdom, just like sitting in your own home, and the two sides will talk casually." ”

"Of course, Mr. President, as you wish......"

The host picked up the microphone and said into the camera: "Hello ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and this issue of Fireside Chat is now open...... We will now have an interview with Mr. John Nance Ghana President......"

A reporter pointed out to him that because of the large number of bank failures, many people now distrust banks. Subsequently, President Cactus began to show off his actor-level acting skills.

President Cactus explained, counseled and educated the public with great patience in a very kind tone, saying: "...... Your concern is understandable. But I would like to point out the simple fact that when you put your money in the bank, the bank doesn't lock it in a vault, but invests it in a variety of different forms of credit, such as buying public bonds, making deposits. In other words, banks put your money to work so that the whole institution turns...... I can assure you that it is safer to keep your money in a reorganized, reopened bank than under a mattress. ”

Then, reporters asked questions one after another, and Ghana answered them one by one. Of course, this kind of question and answer is pre-arranged, but it must be said that this unprecedented show was very successful, and "Fireside Chat" was widely welcomed. Mr. Cactus's support has soared, and at the same time, it has also increased the confidence of the society and eliminated many factors of disharmony.

Hankyung.

The "Fireside Chat" held at the White House is not only watched by Americans, but also by Wen Desi and others.

After reading it, Wen Desi commented: "The content is still the same, nothing new." But it must be admitted that Mr. Ghana is a good actor, and the Democratic Party's public relations activities are very well designed! They have changed the diplomatic rhetoric of the past, and they have communicated with the public in a cordial and sincere tone and simple and practical sentences, which has made the public who are accustomed to seeing the faces of politicians feel refreshed, and this is indeed very effective......

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.

"This economic crisis has really changed the political landscape of many countries, and the royal government of Spain has collapsed and become a republic," Zhang said. ”

Cavour shook his head and said: "The political situation in Spain in recent years has been very chaotic, with various forces rising and falling, and the republic cannot solve the problem, especially the contradictions between the left and right are extremely acute, and now it seems that it is only a matter of time before a civil war breaks out." ”

He continued: "However, Spain's problems are trivial, and it is Austria that is more troublesome now. After the death of Ferdinand V, Crown Prince Karl was unable to convince the people, and the whole of Austria fell into chaos and was likely to be divided again. The most important thing is that Germany is likely to do something......"

Wendeji nodded: "Well, if Austria continues to divide, it will be a very bad thing for Germany, and if you want to change this situation, the best way is to eat Austria yourself." Wilhelm III's ambitions were no less than his father's, and now with Hitler. With the style of these two, they are likely to get their hands on it......"

"Could it be a German-Austrian merger?" Zhang Lizheng was taken aback.

Wen Deji took a sip of tea and said: "That's right, Germany's dream of building a Greater Germany has not been eliminated, and there was no chance before, so I had to give up. But now that the opportunity is in front of them, they won't give it up. At present, Britain, France, the United States, and other countries are suffering from the economic crisis and are powerless to intervene. Moreover, this is a matter for the Allies, and it may be difficult for them to agree internally. If Hitler had moved faster, there was a lot of hope. ”

"Now the only one who is capable of intervening is Comrade Stalin. Wendeji smiled and said: "However, Wilhelm III and Hitler are likely to use Belarus as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with Stalin." ”
