After submitting his resignation and refusing Wallace's attempt to stay, Harry Hopkins left the White House for Truman's campaign headquarters in Washington. It was November 5, 1944, and in a few more hours, the U.S. presidential election voting was about to begin.

There, he met Harry Truman, who was immersed in the excitement of being elected, according to Gallup polls, after the "Buenos Aires Victory" and "Absolutely Occupy San Diego", Harry Truman's approval rating has been reversed by Thomas Dewey, and now he is expected to be elected.

"He didn't know what a bad stall he was about to take over!" When Harry Hopkins was greeting Truman, he felt full of sympathy for the soon-to-be-elect Truman.

"Harry, I heard you resigned as ambassador to Rome?" Truman's face became heavy. He was not ignorant of the difficulties faced by the United States. Naturally, he also had the intention to seek peace after becoming president. Harry Hopkins was Roosevelt's representative for seeking peace, so Truman still wanted to rely on him.

"Yes." Harry Hopkins nodded, "Because I can no longer play a role in Rome, it's better to resign from my post as soon as possible."

"How could it be?" Truman frowned, "Will the war on both sides of the Atlantic continue?"

He was not as optimistic about the prospects of the war as Wallace, but he was not willing to accept the peace treaty that was too "destroying power and humiliating" after he came to power. So he wanted to use Harry Hopkins' experience in the "peace movement" to mediate and strive for the best... at least he had to get better peace conditions than the peace conditions that Roosevelt was preparing to accept.

"The war cannot last," said Harry Hopkins, "but the later peace comes, the more unfavorable it will be for the United States of America, that's for sure!"

"What if we gain a certain advantage on the battlefield?" Truman asked. "War more battles like the Buenos Aires bombing... maybe we can also force the collapse of the New Asbanian Federation through bombing and offense. By then, the Germans should consider reaching a more decent peace treaty for both sides."

"Impossible." Harry Hopkins shook his head.

"It is impossible for Germans to accept fair peace?"

"No, we can't win in the New Asbania!" Harry Hopkins said, "Now the Atlantic sea control has been under Germany. They can attack the United States with ship-based missiles, or land somewhere on Canada and the east coast of the United States. In this case, how can we put a large amount of troops into the southern part of South America? If the Germans make a breakthrough on the east coast of North America, what is the value of our victory in South America?"

He is talking about military common sense, and the government led by Wallace is doing things that are contrary to common sense for the sake of elections. Of course, votes can be deceived, but they are not beneficial to reverse the decline of the United States on the Atlantic battlefield.

In addition, the illusion of military victory will also arouse the appetite of the American people. The Truman administration (or the Dewey administration) will handle the peace talks carefully during the early days of taking office. This will make the United States lose more precious time...

"But the Germans have stopped attacking missiles on the United States," said Truman.

Germany's stopping missile attacks is also one of the reasons for the rise in Truman's support. Ordinary American voters do not know that Germany took the initiative to stop the attack, and they thought that the Wallace administration took some measures to effectively prevent the attack.

Harry Hopkins shrugged and said, "The Germans may feel that the attack is not effective, and they may be preparing for new and more powerful attacks. In short, they will never let the United States go... unless we pay the money quickly."

Hopkins basically guessed correctly that the German "Tomahawk Plan" did not stop, and it could not even be considered a suspension. It was just that according to the plan, the equipment upgrade (equipped with missiles with longer range) and the adjustment of navigation systems was different from the historical situation. The current "German Tomahawk" has quite reliable intelligence support, so it can correct the missile landing point. However, missiles are not shells, and adjusting navigation equipment is more troublesome.

Truman shook his head and stopped discussing with Harry Hopkins. Because it is impossible to pay for it quickly!

"Harry," Truman thought about it. If I was elected president, I hope you can hold an important position in the cabinet."

Hopkins shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I am in poor health. I hope I can retire and recuperate. I am really powerless to do anything about peace. However, Mr. Kennedy has many friends in Europe, and may be able to open up new peace channels for you."

"Okay, then." Truman nodded, and he also knew that Hopkins was sick. "So do you have any advice to me?"

"The advice is not enough," Hopkins came to see Truman, but he didn't want to be an official, so he naturally had something to say, "just some suggestions."

"Please tell me."

Hopkins said: "The best summoning time has been missed, and it is inevitable to make war. But we don't have to worry too much about the atomic weapon in the hands of the Germans. Hitler and Hessmann would not use it easily. They are not the murderous devils.

Unless they have gained a huge advantage in conventional wars, they will use atomic weapons as the ultimate tool to force us to submission...so conventional means of war can still protect the United States.

In addition, the Roman Empire, Caesar Mussolini, was a true friend of our United States. We should trust him fully and regard him as a reliable bridge of peace."

Truman nodded repeatedly and understood!”

...

"Please vote for Truman!"

"Truman leads America to victory!"

"Truman is the defender of the New Deal!"

When Lindberg, the leader of the National Fascist Party, passed by Brooklyn, New York, his car saw many middle-aged men wearing inferior suits scattering leaflets. They were all supporters of the Bolshevik Party and were now canvassing votes for Truman.

Although Truman's approval rating in New York State is still not as good as Dewey, and there seems to be no hope of winning. The Democratic Party itself is no longer trying hard, but the Democratic ally Bolshevik Party is still working hard to canvass for Truman.

Lindberg's National Fascist Party's efforts to assist allies in elections are far worse than that of the Bolsheviks. It's not that the American fascists are unwilling to work hard. It's that most of them are undergoing routine investigations by the FBI. Although Edgar Hoover began to perfunctory after the National Fascist Party formed an alliance with the Republican Party, he did not stop the investigation, so he still caused a lot of trouble for the leaders of the National Fascist Party.

For example, if Lindberg himself had not been summoned to the FBI to explain the problem, he should not be in New York at all, but in Atlanta, Georgia to incite white supremacists there.

However, Lindberg did not feel guilty for not being able to do his best to help the Republican Party, because his Roman mentor (Mussolini) told him in the letter that he would definitely take over the next big mess now. Therefore, it is better for the fascist party not to become a member of the ruling alliance... The national fascist party should look to the future!

Thinking about Mussolini's advice, Lindberg has arrived at Thomas Dewey's campaign headquarters.

The atmosphere here is a bit sluggish. The latest poll results are not good for Dewey, and Dewey's camp has no choice but to question the brave American soldiers who have just won, right? And after Roosevelt's death, the Democratic government once again sang a high-profile statement, claiming that the United States can drag down Germany! This seems to be the same as Dewey's war policy. When the opposition and the ruling party policies are close, voters always tend to be the ruling party.

"Charles," Dewey, who seemed a little down in the office, smiled bitterly at Charles Lindberg. "The situation is not too bad. Polls show that we are expected to win in the Congress election, and we can at least control the House of Representatives."

The Republicans' advantage in congressional elections is brought by the National Fascist Party, because the National Fascist Party has many supporters in the seven southern states of the United States. Although their votes cannot help Dewey win the electoral votes, they can help Republican candidates be elected in many House constituencies.

In addition, the Romans of New York State (New York State is a settlement for Italian immigrants) will also support the Republican Party due to the national fascist party, which will allow the Republican Party to win all seats in New York State's Representatives. However, Dewey cannot help in the electoral votes because the New Yorkers originally supported him.

So after this election, it is likely that the Democratic-Bolshevik alliance controls the government and the Republican-Fascist alliance controls Congress in the United States.

Since both the Bolshevik Party and the Fascist Party made a successful appearance through this election, they have become an important force on the American political stage, and at the same time they have also influenced their allies to transform left or right in their political stance, the division of domestic politics in the United States is inevitable.

"Mr. Governor," Lindberg said to Dewey in a comforting tone, "As long as we control the majority of parliament, the Democrats cannot do whatever they want."

After a while of silence, Dewey said: "I will vote tomorrow, and I still have a high chance of becoming the president of the United States. After all, the Democratic Party has done a bad job in the past four years, really bad..."

Before Dewey finished speaking, one of his secretary suddenly pushed the door and walked in. "Mr. Governor, the federal government has just announced the latest war report. We have recovered the entire island of Oahu and made significant progress in South America... The 6th Army has attacked Santiago, Chile!"
