Chapter 1158 The Death of Roosevelt

Hoover smiled slightly and did not comment. He is now representing the Republican Party to conduct behind-the-scenes transactions with Roosevelt.

This election is different from the past, because the United States is trapped in an unwinable war. Therefore, no matter who is elected president to control the parliament, he must face the problem of how to end the war. This is not only a question of paying reparations, but also a question of who will be responsible for the defeat.

Roosevelt continued: "If I take responsibility during my term... I will assume it immediately, and it will be finalized before the election in early November, and the formal treaty will be signed by the end of 1944."

Hoover knew that Roosevelt was responsible for the Republican defeat and the Democrats took most of the responsibility for the loss, and the humiliating treaty was signed before Roosevelt handed over. In this way, the Democrats and Truman would definitely become the losers of the 1944 election.

This is equivalent to giving both the White House and Capitol Hill to the funders behind the Republican Party and the Republican Party.

Roosevelt paused and said, "Then Mr. Dewey will undoubtedly become the next president of the United States, and the Republican Party will become the majority in the Senate and House of Representatives. This is total rule, do you know what this means?"

Hoover nodded: "Totally rule, completely responsible!"

You can make trouble in the opposition, but you must be responsible for your rule. If you are fully governed, you must naturally be fully responsible.

This is the rules of the game in American politics. Whether it is the Republican or the Democratic Party, you can speak empty talk and sing high-profile when you are in the opposition. But once you enter the White House, you have to take responsibility. If you control Congress while entering the White House, you will be even more responsible.

So Roosevelt had already made plans. While he was still responsible, he would take the main blame at the cost of becoming the "worst" president of the United States, which would inflict the Democratic Party on losing power and congressional control. At the same time, the Republican Party could take over the White House and Congress under Roosevelt's blame.

After the Republican Party came to power... because it was completely in power, the blame left by Roosevelt had to be taken well. Unless the US military under the leadership of the Republican Party can create a more favorable situation, it would be better to take the blame half of the blame than to take a bigger blame.

Judging from the current situation where the gap between military and technical between Europe and the United States is getting bigger and bigger, the situation will only be worse than better after the Republican Party is fully in power.

Therefore, the possibility of a turning point in the military is almost zero. In this case, for Dewey and the Republican Party, the safest route is to follow the "surrender route" opened by Roosevelt.

Roosevelt chose the Republican Party and Dewey to take over his mess rather than to help the Democratic Party with all his strength, which was also out of the pursuit of stability. If he tried every means to help Truman and the Democratic Party, it would not rule out that Truman could win the election, but it would be absolutely impossible for the Democratic Party to control the White House and Congress at the same time.

This is very likely to have a situation of Ono in Congress, and it may even be that the four parties are chaotic because of the run-up to the election of the National Fascist Party and the Bolshevik Party. In this way, the Democratic Party in North Korea is unlikely to take the blame for the blame left by Roosevelt... Even if the Democrats are willing to take the blame, because there is no control of Congress, it will also lead to the situation where the peace treaty negotiated by the Democratic government is rejected by Congress.

"President," Hoover knew that the Republicans could not refuse such a deal, but he had another key question to ask Roosevelt, "Do you know that once the Republicans control the White House and Congress, everything you did before the war will be overturned?"

Roosevelt, who had been in charge of the United States for nearly 12 years, has accomplished two major things: one is Roosevelt's New Deal; the other is to bring the United States into the world war.

Now that the World War is about to lose, Congress will become the Republican territory because of the deal between Roosevelt and the Republican Party. This means that all the "New Politics Acts" passed during Roosevelt's administration will be abolished.

The United States will return to its state before the Great Depression after the war. The large consortium will become the master of the United States again!

"Isn't this what you dream of?" Roosevelt smiled faintly, "The World War was defeated, but those people should be satisfied after taking it back to the United States, right?"

It turns out that the target of behind-the-scenes transactions is not only the Republican Party, but also the consortium forces behind the Republican Party. Because the war led by Roosevelt was defeated, the large consortium in the United States must have suffered heavy losses, and if they want to admit defeat as soon as possible, Roosevelt would have to give up some compensation.

And the compensation Roosevelt brought out was the United States itself!

The consortium-backed Republicans can abolish all new policy bills after mastering the White House and Congress, so that the United States can return to the hands of the consortium.

However, bringing the United States back to the hands of the consortium is also a revival situation set by Roosevelt for the Democratic Party. Because the consortium can control the White House and Congress through the Republican Party and abolish Roosevelt's new policy, but it is impossible to abolish the American democratic system. Therefore, the beneficiaries of the Roosevelt's new policy will become enemies of the Republican Party, and they will definitely vote for the Democratic Party or other "new political parties" in the next election!

In other words, two years later (midterm elections) the Democratic Party or a "New Deal Alliance" will regain control of the House of Representatives, and four years later it is very likely to enter the White House again.

"Okay, then that's it!" Hoover smiled and agreed to the conditions offered by Roosevelt for the Republican Party. Of course, he knew Roosevelt's long-term plan, but American politicians never had the idea of ​​unifying the country for thousands of years. What they were seeking was short-term interests of taking turns to take turns to take over.

"That's great." Roosevelt breathed. His "traitoring efforts" had been more than half successful, and now there is only the only way to eliminate the interference of the Democratic Party.

Although the Democratic Party’s failure in this election is a high probability event, there are still many people in the Democratic Party who are unwilling to give up their efforts. After all, Roosevelt’s “burn-back line” is likely to cause a fatal blow to the Democratic Party, especially the rise of the two “new parties”, the National Fascist Party and the Bolshevik Party, which are very likely to further seize the Democratic Party’s votes in the 1944 and 1946 elections, causing the Democratic Party to fall completely.

...

"Roosevelt must be crazy! This damn madman is going to ruin us..."

On Capitol Hill, a roar suddenly came from the office of Democratic Senate leader Barkley, which surprised the secretary and assistants outside the office. The voice belonged to their boss, Senator Balik, the Democratic boss.

As one of several major figures in the Democratic Party’s second only to Roosevelt’s status, the Senator actually cursed President Roosevelt in the office... and it was a critical period before the election.

Is the disputes over war and harmony within the Democratic Party irreconcilable? Shouldn't the Democratic Party follow the footsteps of the National Republican Party and the Whig Party (two major parties in American history have collapsed due to internal divisions)? Judging from the information obtained by these secretaries and assistants who know the inside story of the Democratic Party, this is very likely!

Just when Barkley's assistants and secretaries were worried about the future of the Democratic Party, Senator Barkley's office was filled with top Democratic leaders who were in power in Capitol Hill or the U.S. government. Everyone had a pale face. Barkley sat in his position and was quick and anxious to say something with Truman and Wallace's vice president John Nance Garner (he was also one of the Democratic giants who was forced to retreat because of his differences with Roosevelt on the issue of the New Deal). Everyone looked very serious.

All of them already know that Roosevelt stubbornly wanted to end the war in his few remaining term. Of course, they also know that the situation is very unfavorable to the United States, and the sooner the war is, the better. But they cannot ignore the interests and future of the Democratic Party in the United States. If a mess created by a Democratic Party is presented to American voters before the election, and a solution that voters dislike the most is "political incorrect" and insist on implementing it to the end.

Then voters will use their votes to punish the Democrats. Considering that the proposition of the National Fascist Party is attractive to white voters in the seven southern states, the result of this election is likely to put the Democrats in a desperate situation of fundamental collapse!

And considering that Truman's approval rating is 6-7 percentage points behind Dewey, the probability of being elected president is not very high. Roosevelt shouldn't have cared about this big mess. Isn't this cleaning up the market for President Dewey? Why can't you sing high-profile and throw the blame to the Republicans?

"Gentlemen, now the Democratic Party is at its most dangerous moment!" Garner, the elderly former vice president, raised his voice at this time. It seems that he and Truman and Barkley have reached an agreement. "We cannot let Roosevelt destroy the Democratic Party, we must save the Democratic Party...even if we have a considerable degree of separation from President Roosevelt. On this issue, do you have no objection?"

"No objection!"

"The Democrats must be saved!"

"Can't let Roosevelt ruin the Democratic Party!"

The top leaders of the Democratic Party have expressed their support for the suggestion of former Vice President Garner. Now it is time for his life to be closed. If the Democratic Party loses a crushing defeat in the general election that is about to begin and is charged with two major crimes of "participating in the war and ruining the country" and "arrest and traiting the country", then the political future of everyone will be gone. All of them are politicians. If the political gold rice bowl is smashed, what else can everyone do?
