Chapter 444: Dark War (5)
"Now even children now know that their president is a despicable liar, and he almost sent their father to Europe for war." George Ivesen threw the newspaper at his hands with a chirp face and began to enjoy the breakfast of the day.
"The New York stock market has plummeted for two consecutive days, especially DuPont and Morgan Group, which has suffered heavy losses this time." Sitting next to him was his second brother Martin, who returned to Chicago from Los Angeles yesterday to prepare for the company's board meeting held this week.
"DuPont chose the wrong partner. After the scandal was exposed, they completely offended the German side. The head of state did not seem to be a tolerant person. Rockefeller and the Chicago consortium will join forces to snipe DuPont this time, and it seems that Morgan is also preparing to give up this ally. After all, they can gain more benefits in Europe." The third brother Bruce is the company's financial director. As a family business, everyone must contribute to the company.
"That group of Jews finally began to worry, and I knew there was their shadow behind this matter." The fifth brother Mike had not graduated from Yale University and finally became a full member of the Freemasonry this summer. He is an avid conspiracy theorist and does not hide his explicit anti-Semitism tendency. Strangely, this instead made him favored by some old people in the family.
"Where did you get the news?" Martin has always been doting on this little brother.
"The classmates in the school are talking about this. If the Jews want to return to Europe, they can only defeat the Great German Empire. But they can no longer find any allies in Europe, and there is no other country in this world that can confront Germany, only the great United States of America. So" Mike clenched his fist and gently hammered the table.
"It sounds a bit reasonable, and the people will believe this." Bruce nodded and stuffed a fried egg into his mouth.
The Ivesen family is a prominent family born in Chicago. The family history can be traced back to the American Revolutionary War, from a small jewelry maker who immigrated from Scotland to the New World to the current family chain jewelry business. The hardships it has gone through can simply compile a history of difficult business in the American immigrants.
He knows very well how much sweat and hard work his ancestors have put in for this family business, so as the current head of the family, George Ivesen is even more proud of his career.
The luxury jewelry industry became a hard-hit area in the world economic crisis. The Ivesen family escaped the disaster through the tide with the cautious character of Frank Ivesen. However, Frank also died of illness due to the transitional fatigue during that period, and put the responsibility of continuing the family's glory on George's shoulders.
The Ivesen family is one of the members of the Chicago consortium. This time, George is determined to follow the partners in the consortium to take this bet and completely overturn the arrogant DuPont. If successful, the Ivesen family will enter the ranks of top wealthy families, and judging from the current situation, he does not see any possibility of failure.
In fact, at this moment, there were more than one or two local wealthy families who had the same idea as him. Almost half of the North American chaebols and wealthy merchant families were mobilized. They concentrated all the power they could use and prepared to make good calculations with Roosevelt and his lackeys.
During his term, Roosevelt used various administrative means to sweep the middle and lower classes of the United States and suppressed these large capital enterprises and consortiums for a full eight years, using various tricks to seize the interests of these capitalists, and eventually turned them into his personal political capital.
Because at that time, a large number of ordinary people who were bewitched by the New Deal were on Roosevelt's side, and some consortiums supporting the Roosevelt family were restrained, resulting in most capitalists being angry at him and not daring to speak out.
But the situation is different now. Roosevelt's supporters have fallen apart at this moment. Only a very small number of his hardcore are still holding on to the president. The remaining ordinary people who originally loved him but were deceived and used have completely turned to his opposite. Roosevelt lost the mass base that has always made him unfavorable.
Looking back now, I realized that except for a few strong hardliners, the remaining group of Republican lawmakers could not match up with five in front of Roosevelt. These scumbags could not see the true face of this man until a week ago.
Look at the secret agreements he signed with Churchill, and look at the plans he made. This man was not as honest as he showed. He was simply a cunning top politician, a thorough Machiavelliist, a power animal who would do anything to achieve his goal. He was not a long-eared hare on the lawn of Washington, but a fox from New York, a bloodthirsty tiger breaking into the sheepfold.
He is better at laying out than any politician. He will set up very clever traps. Often, some opposition lawmakers who are blinded by his false appearance will jump into those pits without hesitation and eventually become Roosevelt's stepping stones, allowing him to easily achieve his original purpose.
Roosevelt is a realist, and he always stands on the side of the chance of winning. When the isolationist faction is strong, his remarks are more radical than any isolationist, but when he finds that external interference is more beneficial to him, he will immediately turn to the interference faction and overturn his previous remarks without blushing.
This is a veteran who talks about people and ghosts. It's hard to imagine that the group of trash in the parliament almost made him succeed again this time.
If the Germans hadn't gone too fiercely this time, they had just lost Britain without saying a word. This war might have really turned into a long and protracted war as he and Churchill described in the letter. And as he said in his reply to Churchill in the letter, once the United States began to support Britain, it would actually be equivalent to boarding the warship. The Germans would not think that this was a neutral act. As Roosevelt said, he did not declare war, but he could create hidden dangers in war.
The group of lawmakers who strongly supported Roosevelt's revision of neutrality legislation were now almost swollen. If they could not provide enough evidence to clear themselves, they would basically be ready to say goodbye to the political stage.
German Foreign Minister Niu Laith has been visiting and inspecting several states on the West Coast during this period. When the scandal broke out, he immediately made a request for negotiation with Washington on the incident. He hoped that the United States would explain the behavior in the incident, especially the partial secret agreement with Churchill, which obviously exceeded the scope of a neutral country.
Germany hopes to know whether the U.S. President still holds an anti-German stance that is unacceptable to the German people, and at the same time expresses indignation about his previous remarks of hostility to Germany. For example, a public speech by Mr. Roosevelt in Boston half a month ago, claiming that supporting Britain is as simple as lending a water pipe to his fired neighbor. Germany believes that this description is very absurd. Britain and Germany are legal parties to the war that have officially declared war. In the eyes of the neutral country, the status of both sides should be equal. The United States' behavior is more like two knights stuffing a pistol into the hand of the knight who is at a disadvantage during a fair duel.
Niulet is an experienced diplomat. He knew that at this time, Germany could not show any aggressive attitude, but should act like a victim of a conspiracy and be treated unfairly, so that it can resonate with ordinary people and give pro-German parliamentarians the reasons to support Germany.
Roosevelt's gangsters were already in panic at this time. According to reliable information, the Republican Party will initiate an impeachment of the president at a congressional meeting next Monday. According to the current situation, it is difficult for Roosevelt to escape this disaster.
At the same time, a small-scale internal strife was also launched within the Republican Party. The presidential candidate Wilkie, who was originally in the prime of his life in the party, was said to have obtained some evidence from special channels to prove that the presidential candidate who jumped from the Democratic Party actually had some private deals with Roosevelt. Under Roosevelt's planning, he created the so-called "Philadelphia Miracle" and hacked the isolationist leader Thomas Dewey, who posed a huge threat to Roosevelt's plan.
As for whether these are facts, no one is interested in questioning this point, because most of Wilkie's previous political ideas overlap with Roosevelt's political claims, and when conspiracy theories swept across the United States, people have to doubt it.
The Republican Party's isolation faction is the most profitable party in this incident. Thomas Dewey will be re-elected as president. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the next president of the United States of America.
