Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2901 Ready to take Roosevelt

When Roosevelt, who was lying on the hospital bed, said these words, his desolate tone and expression of despair made the loyal Joelna burst into tears. He felt unfair for Mr. President and followed him.

For many years, Mr. President, I have witnessed with my own eyes everything Mr. President has sacrificed for the United States, and now, it has ended like this!

Roosevelt himself was willing to resign, and major interest groups had found a suitable successor. Roosevelt's resignation was a foregone conclusion, and all that was needed was for the House and Senate to come up with a bill.

In fact, Truman, the backup vice president, had already tried to take over the military and political affairs of the United States while President Roosevelt was ill. Before that, no one in the United States had noticed this country boy from Missouri. Historically, the United States

The vice president is just a decorative position. It is difficult to attract attention, let alone make any big waves.

The tragedy of Truman was that he lived in the same era as President Roosevelt and was his deputy. Roosevelt's strength and ability, prestige and foundation were all difficult to match by Truman, a country boy from Missouri.

If there were no special accidents, Truman could only be obscured under the light of Roosevelt and lost in the political whirlpool of the United States. The history of later generations can only record Roosevelt, but there are very few American vice presidents who were in the same era.

Just a few strokes!

The so-called "time comes, pie in the sky!" could not be more aptly applied to Truman. At this time, he was able to be pushed to the pinnacle of American power by the interest groups that controlled beauty, politics, and economics.

The candidate to replace Roosevelt was born out of necessity. At the same time, it was also the result of compromise between major interest groups.

Unlike Roosevelt, Truman did not have the backing of powerful interest groups. Compared with Roosevelt, who represented one party and was very powerful, Truman was obviously more acceptable to major interest groups and easier to manipulate.

Of course, the interest groups represented by Roosevelt never wanted their agent to step down. However, under the pressure of the major interest groups, Roosevelt could only become a victim of mutual compromise.

Because this time, Roosevelt went too far. The so-called relocation of the capital and enterprises was equivalent to breaking the jobs of various interest groups. It uprooted the intricate interest relationships and aroused public anger. It is reasonable for the United States to do so.

The central and eastern regions have been the headquarters of major interest groups for many years. Once Roosevelt's proposal is passed, not only will they lose their vested interests, but also their foundation.

The major interest groups in the United States were born at the beginning of the founding of the United States. They rose during the American Civil War and grew stronger during the First World War. After the war, they divided up the cake of various interests in the United States through various means.

Treat it as something in your pocket.

For more than a hundred years, the major interest groups have clung to their own cakes, compromising with each other and guarding against each other, a tacit understanding of never crossing the line and not reaching out to fish out of bounds. Now, Roosevelt dared to change this pattern. He was attacked by the group.

As a result, even being abandoned by this interest group is an inevitable result.

Truman, acting as the vice president, tried to take charge of the military and political power of the United States. But he immediately realized how difficult it was, first of all, the military, because Roosevelt was also the commander of the United States Wartime Supreme Command and the head of the United States Armed Forces.

The power of the supreme commander was not transferred. Truman, a newcomer, could not intervene at all, and the generals in the military system did not listen to his call.

According to the political system of the United States, the US Army does not participate in partisanship, nor is it loyal to any party. It is only loyal to the US Constitution. The US President elected in accordance with the Constitution automatically becomes the supreme commander of the US Army, and the military is also loyal to the president. It seems that

Very reasonable and democratic!

Truman's identity is the Vice President and Acting President, and naturally he is also the Acting Supreme Commander of the US Army. However, the Constitution of the United States was also created by people, and it will inevitably be mixed with the will of major interest groups. There is a mystery in this.

The major interest groups don't want Truman, a Missouri country boy who has never had any power in US politics and is obviously an idiot, to mess up the military system. It remains to be seen!

Therefore, it is reasonable for Truman not to be able to command the US team. However, he did not know it, and he was still working hard with great interest and motivation.

The war that took place in the southwestern border and west of the United States was too far away from the central and eastern regions. The smell of war and smoke did not seem to affect the determination of major American interest groups to take down Roosevelt and replace him with Truman. Although through wartime

Bill, Roosevelt combined the power of American politics, but since he can give him power, major interest groups can also take it back!

Roosevelt, who was very experienced in politics, could smell the abnormal smell permeating the American political space even though he was bedridden. He knew that his days on the throne of the President of the United States and in the White House would not last long.

Some people want to step down, or, for some seemingly very reasonable reason, to fade away from the center of power in the United States.

According to the provisions of the U.S. Constitution, unless the current president commits an unforgivable major fault, he cannot be removed from office during his term, even if all members of the House and Senate vote. This is the power granted to the President of the United States by the Constitution.

.

If Roosevelt does not resign, the next president will have to wait until his term is up before he can ascend to the throne of the President of the United States. However, Roosevelt obviously does not intend to stay in this position, and he has no regrets about it.

Tired, from mental to psychological exhaustion, from a deeper level, he did not want to see the United States on the verge of national subjugation, and fading away might be the best choice!

The interest group behind Roosevelt had sent someone to tell him that they wanted him to gradually transfer power to Vice President Truman in the name of recuperation and a temporary break. Roosevelt took this indifferently and wanted to do his last for the United States.

The only obligation is to leave a good foundation for Truman in terms of the military.

The major interest groups in the United States are planning to make Roosevelt fade out. At the same time, reinforcements from Germany and Japan have successively arrived on the North American battlefield, and the pressure on the Americans has increased!

For Rommel, commander of the German Army Group South America, domestic reinforcements are dispensable. He is currently conducting a strategic encirclement of more than 100,000 US troops passing through Baton Rouge and preparing to withdraw to the eastern region.

The troops of this group army are encircling Beaumont from three directions: Dallas, Longview and Brownwood, preparing to mass and annihilate this US military force in the Beaumont area.

The second phase of the offensive also achieved its goal. The German army stayed within a safe distance from the southwestern defense line of the United States and maintained the momentum of oppression. Rommel was a man who knew soldiers. From the beginning of the attack, the German army was unstoppable. Now,

It's time to take a break and let the soldiers rest. Fighting against the Americans is completely different from fighting against the Soviets.

In the western battlefield of the United States, more than 600,000 Canadian soldiers have joined. He is not worried that the Japanese will get ahead of him, break through the US military's Dellera Mountain defense line, and capture the central area of ​​the United States. Therefore, the third batch of domestic reinforcements,

In Rommel's view, it was dispensable, and he issued an order to let these troops serve as garrison troops in the occupied areas.

The reinforcements sent by the Japanese base camp to General Yamamoto were extraordinary in terms of meaning. They were almost like providing help in times of need. Ten divisions with nearly 200,000 troops were mobilized from the front line to encircle and suppress the U.S. troops rushing into the rear. The effect was very poor. Who knows?

You know, these US military troops changed their usual practice and dispersed into countless groups, roaming everywhere in the vast western region of the United States.

When encountering a small Japanese garrison, they took a big bite. When encountering a large number of Japanese troops, they dispersed and disappeared into the vast deserts, mountains and forests of the western United States like loaches.

General Yamamoto had nothing to do about this. After all, the empire had only occupied the western region of the United States for a short period of time. The Americans on this land still loved the American soldiers in their hearts, which was the basis for the survival of these American soldiers.

If it were possible, General Yamamoto would ask Tang Qiuli for advice, Tang Qiuli would be very surprised and tell him, "This is the American version of guerrilla warfare!" However, this possibility will never happen. If troops are mobilized from the front line, General Yamamoto will

He wouldn't do it. Just in time, local reinforcements arrived.

General Yamamoto became ruthless and ordered the ten divisions newly arrived in the North American battlefield to bring more than 200,000 reinforcements. Among other things, he was responsible for clearing out the U.S. troops that had entered the rear. He used 400,000 troops to deal with more than 100,000 U.S. troops.

, look at these loach-like American soldiers, where are they going to escape?

The life-and-death battles on the border battlefields in the southwestern United States and the western battlefields. The changing battle situation did not affect the interest groups in the central and eastern areas. After taking down Roosevelt, Truman's steps were taken. More than ten days later, the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate once again

A joint meeting was held. The theme of the meeting was only one, "The current President of the United States, Roosevelt, is no longer able to bear the increasingly heavy government and military affairs due to health reasons!"

"For the sake of Mr. President's health, all members of the House and Senate are ready to unanimously pass the proposal proposed by the presidents of both houses, requesting President Roosevelt to temporarily transfer power and rest peacefully. At the same time, Vice President Mr. Truman will temporarily act as president.

The proposal must also be passed at the joint meeting of the two houses!”

Of course, the wording in the proposal is as heartwarming as it needs to be. The evaluation of Roosevelt is simply unprecedented and unprecedented, such as "hard work pays off!" and "devoting all your talents to the United States."

And energy!" and "All congressmen, we plead with tears, Mr. President, please rest and recuperate!" and other words of praise were poured on Roosevelt's head without hesitation.

Because this proposal must be made public, it must be seen by all Americans, and it must be made as colorful as a flower arrangement!
