Age of Conquest Reborn

However, the characteristic of capital is to pursue interests, which itself is ruthless. Although members of the House and Senate were also moved by Roosevelt's speech, being moved and being willing to lose the interests behind them are two different things!

Once President Roosevelt's proposal to move the capital and relocate industrial and mining enterprises and scientific research institutions is passed, it means that the vested interests of the major interest groups in the United States will be reorganized, and the original balance of political and economic interests will be completely broken.

, perhaps, some interest groups will be wiped out and disappear in this great relocation.

Relocating to Canada means living under the roof of Canadians. How can I get more benefits in the future? More lawmakers are worried that this is Roosevelt's way of integrating the military and political power of the United States. Could it be that...

Is this Roosevelt going to be the dictator of the United States?

Although members of the House and Senate consider issues from different angles and starting points, they all analyze Roosevelt's proposal from the standpoint of their own interest groups. Even though he is on stage now, he is showing his true feelings.

The words are moving, but who can guarantee that this is not a performance?

As a political figure, performing in public is one of the basic skills necessary. Who can guess what Roosevelt's true purpose was in his heart? Also, since there is such a proposal involving the foundation of the United States, why not discuss it with Congress in advance?

Instead of discussing it with political party leaders in both houses of Congress, it was suddenly thrown out at a regular meeting of members of both houses of Congress. What is the intention?

After Roosevelt finished his speech, the Speaker of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives exchanged complicated but uncertain glances. Then they announced in accordance with the procedure, "Now, all members are invited to vote by a show of hands. Those who agree with the President's two proposals, please

Raise your hands!”

Roosevelt did not have extravagant hopes. More than a thousand members of the House and Senate unanimously agreed to his proposal. As long as more than two-thirds of the members agreed, the next thing would be much easier. He would

They worked tirelessly to persuade each of them one by one and persuade their party leaders.

However, when Roosevelt looked towards the audience, his heart suddenly became completely cold. Not one of the more than a thousand congressmen raised their hands in agreement. Moreover, they looked at him with distrust.

and doubt.

"If you object, please raise your hands!" The speaker's voice was as dry as a repeater, without any moisture.

"Brush!" The arms were raised in unison without hesitation, and like a strange tree with a ferocious appearance, it jumped into Roosevelt's eyes.

The blood all over Roosevelt's body seemed to solidify in an instant, and he was in a trance. The conference hall in front of him, the lights on the ceiling, and the faces all began to become illusory and spinning. There was no trace of blood on the sallow face. He felt

, I felt like I was in a bottomless abyss, with no light around me!

Joelna was horrified to see that the glory of life in Mr. President's eyes was gradually dimming, and his head was leaning weakly on the back of the wheelchair. He hurriedly took out a few pills from his pocket, put them into Roosevelt's mouth, and

He poured out half a glass of water from the kettle he carried with him and asked Mr. President to take the medicine.

The eyes of the congressmen were indifferent. They were just below, watching everything that happened on the stage. Roosevelt's life and death did not seem to have much to do with them. The United States does not lack a president. The worst thing is to elect another one. The key is,

This guy in a wheelchair on the stage is going to ruin everyone's jobs!

After a while, Roosevelt regained his composure and stared blankly at the audience. With those indifferent eyes, he signaled to Joelner to take the microphone and said, "I want to know why this is? You all are.

Can’t the American elite see the crisis facing the United States?” His dry voice, containing pain and disappointment, floated in the Congress hall.

"Why are you opposed?" - Of course someone will give the answer.

Members of the House and Senate of the U.S. Congress disagreed for a very simple and sufficient reason. As far as the current local war situation is concerned, the western and southwestern border battlefields have been stabilized. With the addition of the Canadians, the Germans and Japanese

It is impossible for humans to break through the current defense line.

What's more, the United States has a vast territory, a huge space for strategic maneuvering, a profound foundation and national strength, and a huge reserve force, which can block the invader in the current area and consume the invader's force.

Some congressmen optimistically pointed out that now is the time to counterattack. The wartime high command should quickly formulate a counterattack plan to completely drive the Germans and Japanese out of the United States. Some congressmen even accused Roosevelt of

According to the proposal, the Germans and Japanese are rushing to relocate the capital, industrial and mining enterprises, and scientific research institutions before they have invaded the central and eastern regions. They are afraid of the enemy and are in chaos. They want to destroy the foundation of the United States. They have ulterior motives!

"Moving the capital to Duluth, a small city in the north next to Canada, are you kidding me? I have never heard of this place before. It is located in a corner and far away from the front line. Can it shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the capital of the United States during the war?"

"Relocating the industrial foundation and fundamentals of the United States to Canada is really fantastic. Are we not afraid that the economic lifeline of the United States will be in the hands of Canadians? How is this move different from betrayal?"

These are the harsh words of some opposition congressmen who commented harshly on President Roosevelt's proposal. Of course, the congressmen who believe that there is no need to move the capital, industrial and mining enterprises, and scientific research institutions now, the most determined reason for their opposition is that they believe that the war cannot spread to the east coast.

The eastern region, the vast west and southwest alone, is enough for the Germans and Japanese to fight for several years!

As if he had no hearing or consciousness, Roosevelt listened to the congressmen's yelling, unreasonable, and distorted accusations, and his dull eyes, with pity, looked at the open and wide mouths chattering endlessly.

After the congressmen finished expressing their opinions, Roosevelt no longer had the energy to debate. He just said lightly, "Everything that happens in the future will strongly prove that your opposition today is the beginning of the demise of the United States!"

"You will pay the price for the selfishness and short-sightedness of yourself and the interest groups behind you. This price is that the United States of America will be completely lost at the hands of the invaders!"

Then, Roosevelt softly said to the loyal Joelna: "Let's go back, I'm too tired!" The two people, one sitting in a wheelchair and the other pushing a wheelchair, slowly walked away under the gaze of countless unkind eyes.

disappeared into the Congress chamber.

Naturally, President Roosevelt's last words made members of the House and Senate sneer, thinking that he was alarmist or venting their inner frustration and dissatisfaction.

Due to unanimous and fierce opposition from members of both houses of Congress, President Roosevelt's proposal to move the capital and relocate industrial and mining enterprises and scientific research institutions was completely rejected, and this matter was completely shelved.

But the aftermath of the incident has obviously not subsided. After listening to the reports from their respective representatives and congressmen in both houses of Congress, the leaders of American interest groups felt that this matter was very serious and that the war was thousands of miles away.

, why was Roosevelt so busy moving the capital and rushing to remove the economic foundation of the United States? What did he discuss behind closed doors with Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie, who visited the United States a few days ago?

Except for the Canadians sending 600,000 troops to help the United States, and Roosevelt's proposal to move the capital and relocate the economic foundation, the outside world knows nothing about the contents of other secret talks. Could it be that Roosevelt and MacKenzie reached something?

In private transactions, is he going to take this opportunity to reshuffle the domestic political and economic landscape of the United States in order to establish his one-handed dictatorship?

All kinds of suspicions and speculations are spreading and undercurrents are surging within the top management of the interest groups in the United States. The leaders of these interest groups who control the political and economic lifeblood of the United States are beginning to think about changing the president of the United States. The best reason is that

President Roosevelt's health is extremely poor. In order to take care of the president's health, Congress will pass a special bill to ask the president to rest in peace and recuperate.

As for the temporarily vacant presidential position, the candidate is ready-made, that is, the current US Vice President Truman, who will assume the duties of the acting president and commander of the United States' highest wartime command while President Roosevelt is recovering from illness.

Truman was born in the countryside of Missouri, and there was no big interest group behind him. He was just a grassroots man who suddenly turned into a phoenix. He was elected vice president because of a combination of circumstances and bad luck.

The President of the United States is easy to manipulate and conforms to the requirements of various interest groups. A conspiracy to overthrow Roosevelt is quietly brewing!

After being severely hurt by members of Congress at a joint meeting of the two houses of Congress, President Roosevelt became bedridden after returning home. He was really ill, and at the same time, he was also discouraged. He devoted himself to the cause of the United States.

He was thinking very hard about the future, but the performance of the congressmen made him heartbroken.

What the congressmen opposed was not just Roosevelt's personal proposal, but dragging the future of the United States into the abyss of national destruction. With Roosevelt's vision and wisdom, he was fully aware that once the war spread to the central and eastern regions, the United States would be destroyed.

The beginning of!

But Roosevelt was unable to change all this now, especially as an outstanding politician and a great man's ambition, when faced with ruthless reality, his powerless decadence made him very painful.

Although Roosevelt, who was lying on his sick bed, did not know that a conspiracy against him was beginning to brew, it was not difficult to predict his fate with Roosevelt's rich political experience.

He said sincerely to White House Chief of Staff Joelna: "Joelna, I am so tired. I have worked hard and devoted all my energy for the United States!"

"Now, I am exhausted. When I get better, I will submit my resignation to Congress and hand over this country that is being ravaged by war to a person who can lead the United States out of the danger of national subjugation!"
