"Mussolini, executioner! Mussolini, executioner! Mussolini, executioner..."

On September 10, 1944, when John Rockefeller Jr. was riding on a car to Wall Street through Broadway Street in New York, he once again encountered a crowd of protesters. This was the third parade he encountered on his way to Wall Street from his residence at 740 Park Avenue in New York today.

"Father, are they all Bolsheviks?" Nelson Rockefeller sat in a large car with his father today. When he saw the red flags of the parade, he frowned and asked. He came from Washington to New York to organize the visit of Mussolini, a European peace dove that loves the United States, to come again. But unexpectedly, he encountered an astonishing protest in New York. Before Mussolini came, the wave of protest in New York was about to boil. He was really here, and he didn't know what it was like!

Nelson Rockefeller said in his heart: These Americans who are causing trouble really don’t know the good people’s hearts.

"Not exactly," John Rockefeller Jr. smiled. "The protests were indeed organized by the Bolshevik Party, but most of the protesters took to the streets with our allowance."

Of course, there are allowances for protests in the march, otherwise where would it be so loud? It is not during the Great Depression, and the working people in the United States are hungry at home, so it doesn’t cost much to come out to protest. Now is an unprecedented boom period, and people are not satisfied with people everywhere and work overtime everywhere. If no one gives the allowance, how could the working people in the United States not be able to get through the US dollar and Mussolini, who is determined to help them get rid of the threat of the atomic bomb?

As for allowances, where can the Bolsheviks afford it? There is no Third International to sponsor them now.

"We'll give them stipends?" Nelson Rockefeller, assistant secretary of state in the Roosevelt administration, has been busy with official duties. He has no idea what his father, other Wall Street tycoons and billionaires in other parts of the United States are doing now.

"Why?" Nelson Rockefeller said in surprise, "They are the Bolsheviks! And... Mussolini is our friend!"

Nelson Rockefeller turned his head to look at his son, lowered his voice and said, "Of course it is to pull Roosevelt's Democratic Party down! Otherwise, why would we give so much money to the Bolshevik Party and Foster, the villain (the candidate for the president of the US Bolshevik Party)?"

"Turn Roosevelt's Democrats off the stage?"

John Rockefeller Jr. focused on it, "And his damn New Deal! It's his fault for the United States to fall to its present moment, and it's the fault of the New Deal. In order to save the United States, the new Deal must be ended!"

"End...the new policy?"

"Yes! End the New Deal and take back the United States!"

Nelson Rockefeller certainly understood his father's idea. Although Roosevelt's new policy "saves" the American economy, it also took the United States away from billionaires like the Rockefeller family, Morgan family, and Mellon family.

Before the introduction of Roosevelt's new policy, the US government had very little power and the power of trade unions was also very small. The American chaebols had a great power, and capitalists could even hire armed security guards to deal with strikers. However, after the introduction of the new policy, the chaebols suffered a huge blow, with business tax rates rising sharply, and government power "expanded infinitely". What capitalists most could not tolerate was the alliance between the Democratic Party led by Roosevelt and the trade union, which allowed the American trade union to be protected by the highest power for the first time in history. The union and trade union leaders who had the highest power to protect were no longer the targets of thugs hired by capitalists who could bully at will.

"Now is the opportunity!" John Rockefeller Jr. gritted his teeth, "Roosevelt's navy just defeated a shameful defeat in the Bermuda. It seems that he has to bow to Europe. And in early November it was the presidential and congressman election... If Roosevelt's Democratic Party can be packaged as a sinner who fails and sells American interests, then Roosevelt's New Deal alliance will collapse in the election. The United States will return to our hands!"

Nelson Rockefeller took a breath. He knew that the "we" in his father's mouth did not refer to the Rockefeller family, but a large number of famous chaebol families in the United States. Before the Great Depression, the United States actually belonged to these chaebols. The government had very little power and was also the agents of chaebols. Sometimes chaebol bosses would even come to power in person. For example, Andrew Mellon, the head of the Mellon family, served as the Secretary of Treasury for 12 years, and went through three Republican presidents of Harding, Coolidge and Hoover. The 12 years from President Harding to President Hoover can be said to be an era of the tycoons calling for the wind and rain. If it weren't for the Great Depression and the subsequent Roosevelt New Deal, a beautiful era could have continued.

"Father," Nelson Rockefeller still couldn't fully understand his father and other chaebol bosses. He asked, "If we make peace apart, even if Mr. Dewey becomes president, the United States will not be able to turn the situation around... By then, the cost of peace will be even greater."

Nelson Rockefeller is an assistant secretary of state and is considered an insider in Washington. He is very familiar with the current situation.

What the United States and Germany now have in terms of military strength is the technological generation gap! This cannot be compensated by quantity advantages. Moreover, how many quantitative advantages can the United States have in the face of the production capacity of most Europe?

"The price of peace?" John Rockefeller Jr. smiled coldly, "The price of peace is that we will become the real masters of the United States of America again... If such a result is achieved, for us, this world war will not be considered a real failure."

In fact, the large consortiums in the United States are not really anti-war, otherwise Roosevelt would not have been able to bring the United States into war (the Rockefeller family is more pro-German, an exception). However, the consortiums must have a smart calculation. If they win or cannot win the world war, they all have ways to make profits.

If the world war is won, then the US consortium can use the US national strength and dollar hegemony to expand globally.

If the war is lost, then take the opportunity to knock down the War Crime Democratic New Deal Alliance, bring the obedient Republican conservatives to power, and then introduce a bunch of bills to restrict trade unions, so that the United States can be re-entered into the world of capital!

...

Washington, the White House.

In a bedroom arranged in a ward, President Roosevelt was lying on the bed, sitting next to his wife Anna Eleanor Roosevelt in the chair.

Truman and Dewey, who are running for president, also appeared in the ward. They came to visit Roosevelt who had a stroke and were bedridden, and brought flowers and sincere greetings. Both of them sincerely hope that Roosevelt could recover and then devote themselves to cleaning up the war mess.

To be honest, the war stalls facing the United States are really too bad. The United States' enemies have weapons that can "destroy the world" and have an advantage on land, sea and air. So the option before the US president does not have the option to end the war successfully. The question now is just how much will the United States lose?

Truman and Dewey neither want to bear the responsibility for defeat. They both want to be the presidents who can lead the United States to emerge from the predicament of defeat and become great again.

But when they saw Roosevelt lying on the hospital bed dying, the clouds in their hearts became even stronger.

"It's so regretful," Roosevelt smiled bitterly at the two of them, "The Bermuda Battle lost again, and it lost very thoroughly. And this failure also reveals a cruel reality to us. Compared with Europe, our United States is backward in many aspects, behind... and will be beaten! In history, no country that is completely backward in military technology can defeat the overall leading country by relying on its own strength and military means. We are going to lose the war and lose military! So one of you will lead a failed United States in the next 4-8 years. This is very, very difficult!"

After hearing Roosevelt's frustrating remarks, Dewey and Truman, who were determined to lead a failed United States to succeed, were relieved at the same time.

"Mr. President," asked Truman, a Democratic presidential candidate who is close to Roosevelt, "You mean... do the United States need to reach a peace agreement with Europe as soon as possible?"

As soon as possible... it is best to end this damn war before the transfer of powers of the old and new presidents in early 1945. Then let Roosevelt, the dying old president, take on the responsibility for defeat.

Instead of answering Truman's question, Roosevelt turned his attention to another presidential candidate, Dewey.

"Mr. President," Dewey said, "I think if America certainly cannot win, the sooner it will be, the less the United States will lose."

Dewey's statement cannot be made public, otherwise the American people who do not know the truth will definitely punish him with votes. However, it is one thing to fool voters on the election speech stage, and it is another thing to really become president and take over the power.

If the United States really can't beat Europe, then you can definitely lose less while you have some capital to make peace earlier. If the Germans really use some missile to launch the atomic bomb to the United States, then 500 billion European Marks will definitely not be able to buy peace.

And Roosevelt is now clearly accused of being a traitor of the United States and American traitors, and Thomas Dewey is of course happy to see it happen.

Roosevelt nodded and said, "The compensation of up to 500 billion European marks will allow us to go through a long and painful period in the future. The United States is likely to decline to its pre-World War level, no longer have huge gold reserves, nor huge overseas assets, and the world's financial centers will also turn from New York to London and Paris...
