Chapter 410: Dark War (1)

"So, this is just a business, there is no need to worry about it." Welbet pushed a velvet bag to the Senator.

"You have to know, Mr. Spear, I'm going to take a big risk." The old politician in his sixties untied the tether at the mouth of the bag, turned over the bottom of the bag and poured out a small handful of diamonds.

"Your term of office is almost over. I think you have a better idea than me. You should start making some plans for your retirement life, Mr. Ruhn, who knows what the future will be like in the future?" Welbe lowered his head and played with the shiny gold sleeve nails on his cuffs.

"But Spear, they might find someone to deal with me."

"Of course they will find someone to deal with you, and this is undoubtedly what we want to see. As for your personal safety, you can relax. Before everything is over, the safety of you and your family will be protected by us." Welbe pulled a card from the inner bag of the suit and handed it to Senator Roone between his fingers.

"If you have any special needs, you can make this call, Mr. Senator." Then the intelligence officer stood up and bowed respectfully to the other party.

"My people will always keep in touch with you. If nothing else, I will say goodbye first, and I have asked Councilman Vincent to have lunch together."

"You will abide by the agreement." The senator stood up and asked anxiously.

"Of course, Mr. Senator, of course." Verbey smiled and put on the top hat in his hand.

Seeing the boss walk out of the councillor's office, the assistant waiting at the office door came forward and took the briefcase from Verbey.

"Everything goes well, head." the assistant asked.

"Don't talk about this here, be careful that the walls are in their ears." Welbe tidied up his tie and whispered to his subordinates.

"Sorry." The assistant quickly looked around carefully and found that no one noticed them.

"Don't look around, let's talk about it when you get to the car." Verbey strides towards the exit of the corridor.

The United States of America in 1940 was much worse than most readers imagined. The shadow of the Great Depression has always enveloped this country. Although singing, dancing and dancing on the market, it cannot cover the poor life of the lower class people.

Although Roosevelt's heavy tax policy curbed the deficit and also curbed the normal business operation in the country. Big entrepreneurs were no longer willing to invest in new projects, and the entire social development fell into a hopeless stagnation, and the infrastructure construction in many regions even showed serious regressions.

Roosevelt claimed that every household table would have butter bread and meat, but most Americans only see potatoes. The United States has the world's strongest oil industry, but ordinary people cannot afford daily gasoline.

Domestic automobile sales in the United States have declined significantly, and auto manufacturers have begun to be keen on producing luxury customized models because they have little production, less labor, and are easy to control costs. Moreover, consumers are all rich, and they can guarantee sufficient profits.

So in the 1930s and 1940s, the era of the flood of luxury cars in the United States, a large number of luxury custom cars with exquisite appearance and outstanding performance emerged. The output was often only double digits, and only the top European and American rich people are qualified to seek it.

Factory companies are frantically compressing costs, and the rights and interests of workers are not guaranteed at all. The guild was suppressed by the joint efforts of the government and enterprises, and capitalists even mobilized state machines to suppress the workers' movement by force.

In order to cover up the failure of the new policy, Roosevelt used administrative means to control public opinion, and even publicly lie and deceive the public. He knew very well that once he stepped down, the Republicans who took over would never be polite to him. All the truth he had tried to cover up before the public will be exposed, and the reputation and reputation accumulated by the Roosevelt family will be lost.

He and Churchill are actually the same type of people, with a stubborn personality and full of self-esteem, and regard their personal reputation as a person exceeding their own lives. This is the real reason why Roosevelt gave up on retirement at the last moment, broke the habits of successive American presidents, and tried to seek a third re-election.

He also wanted to make a final struggle and looked forward to continuing to complete his new policy in four more years. He refused to admit that his failures and refused to admit that his policies had major flaws.

Historically, it was World War II that saved his reputation, and people turned their attention to the president's achievements in the war, and deliberately ignored his poor performance in his previous eight-year term. Due to the rule that the winner should not be criticized, Roosevelt became a historical great man.

The outbreak of the European war gave Roosevelt a glimmer of hope. He keenly sensed the possible impact of this war on American society. Especially in terms of economy, ordinary economic production cannot be controlled by the government, but what if it is a government order, the government can stimulate the production of various military supplies as needed at will.

Turning weak civilian enterprises to military production can not only provide a large number of jobs, but also stimulate the vigorous development of the entire industrial chain. If possible, the entire national system will be mobilized, internal contradictions in society will be transferred, and all questions can be answered by serving war.

Becoming an arsenal in the free world was just the first step of Roosevelt's ambition. What he wanted was to personally participate in a world war. In his opinion, there was no possibility of failure in the United States. He would gain a great reputation beyond his uncle. At that time, who would care about the new policy?

In history, Roosevelt won a bet, and he almost became the president of the United States for four terms. For a long time, no one dared to say a bad thing about this president because he was a symbol of the victory of the United States in World War II.

But now, history has been completely changed by Xu Jun, and Roosevelt's plan has not yet begun, and the European war is over. What makes the president even more uneasy is that his opponents are connecting with each other, as if planning some actions against him, and he has used all means and cannot find out what is going on.

"The Conservatives of the Democratic Party are actually all guys who are tempted by the trend. You can see it clearly, Rudy, this is the politics in the mouth of Americans." Welbe sat in the back seat of the 1937 HP Twelve luxury four-door sedan, holding an ivory cigarette holder decorated with silver in his mouth.

"Dear, the wife of Congressman Vincent last time she fell in love with a pink pearl necklace. I had already packed it with the clerk." Lucia said with a smile on the car window. The beauty was wearing a black silk tight dress at the moment, and the pink and white on her chest almost blinded Verbe's dog eyes.

"You are so capable, my dear." Welbe opened the shopping bag in the back seat and looked at the gift box inside.

"Head, are we going to the restaurant now?" asked the assistant sitting in the passenger seat of the car.

"Take a few more laps in the nearby blocks to see if anyone is following you. The FBI is very active during this period." Welbe replied with a calm face.

"As for the order, head." The assistant respectfully accepted the order and closed the partition window between the cab and the back seat.

ps: The ranking has dropped by one hundred, I can understand that it is recovering.
