America’s Big Hero

Chapter 117 Akomo's Decisiveness

"McCarthyism" refers to the anti-communist and anti-foreign movement in the United States promoted by Senator McCarthy from 1950 to 1954.

The cause of this matter can be traced back to 45 years. The end of World War II, the beginning of the Cold War, the House of Representatives passed, the 'House Un-American Activities Investigative Committee' was changed to a permanent institution, and in just one year, there were 34,700 strikes in the United States, involving 450 workers. Wan, quite a 'red' sign.

The House Un-American Activities Committee declared that 'unions have been overrun by red infiltration'.

In the face of red output, the upper echelons of the United States panicked, and anti-communism became the mainstream.

This triggered the "U.S. Asia" magazine incident. Six people including John S. Service, a US State Department official and diplomat stationed in Yan A, were tried. The "Daily" regarded this incident as a "watershed in Sino-US relations."

During McCarthy's election as a Wisconsin senator, he illegally participated in futures trading, gambling, drinking, embezzlement, bribery, recruiting women, and poor conduct. He was rated as the "worst senator" of the year.

Faced with this situation, McCarthy delivered a speech entitled "Republicans in the State Department" at the Republican Women's Club on February 9, 1950, the anniversary of Lincoln's birth.

He claimed that he had "a list of 205 people" in his hand, "these people are all members of the Communist Party and the spy network", "the secretary of state knows that these people on the list are all members of the Communist Party, but these people are still drafting and formulating the State Council policy."

So far, he has become a political star, known as the "Wheeling Speech" in history.

After the outbreak of the Korean War, McCarthy set off "a wave of exposing and investigating the activities of the Communist Party in the U.S. government", and even used the excuse that someone in the Truman administration secretly "connected with the Soviet Union", "betrayed the Chiang Group", and "helped their Communist Party". Busy", calling the 20 years of the Democratic Party in power "20 years of treason", and pointed the finger at the Truman administration.

Later, the "McCarthy Un-American Activities Investigative Subcommittee" was established to help Eisenhower of the Elephant Party ascend to the position of president. In 1953 alone, McCarthy's committee held more than 600 "investigation" activities. Including Robert Oppenheimer, Albert Einstein, Qian Xuesen, Charlie Chaplin, etc...

Using an 'unnecessary' list, he engaged in a political blackmail that lasted for four years. In the later period, McCarthy really thought he was omnipotent. In the end, he angered the military in 1954 and was dismissed by the established 'Eisenhower' Grind and kill the donkey.

Now, Sean is going to use this real 'notebook' in his hand to play a short-term 'blackmail', so that all the foundations of the Dimio Group in New Jersey's political circle will be separated.

...

"Acomo is crazy. As I said earlier, he is completely crazy. He actually killed Mackintosh." Tony looked at the people in front of him with a sneer, and said in a cold voice: "He has a terminal illness, his son He turned against him again, he has gone completely crazy, and he will drag everyone to be buried with him."

"No way, why did he kill Mackintosh?" An elderly man wondered.

"Mackintosh resigned because of him. He didn't kill Mackintosh. Could it be Hal? I, Tony, did it." Tony sneered.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, it must not be them, and the rest can only be Acomo.

"This is a good opportunity, you know it." Tony looked at the crowd, and said in a bewitching tone: "The people above are all panicking now, Dimio has been in New Jersey for more than 50 years, and those people are afraid of being exposed. Scandal, now the last thing they want to see is for Acomo to die!"

"Everyone will support us, understand? Now is the right time!"

"As long as we show our strength, we will be able to kill Acomo in one fell swoop, and then..."

...

In the middle of the night, Acomo sat alone in the living room. The living room was dark with no lights on, only the cigar in his mouth was flickering on and off.

After sitting for hours, Acomo slowly stood up and walked out, opened the door, and said to the men at the door, "Go to Bradley."

Acomo walked into the villa of his son Bradley under house arrest late at night and stayed there for two full hours before leaving. No one knew what he said.

...

At dawn the next day, Acomo left Trenton in an unassuming pickup truck.

The pickup truck appeared in a manor in Camden, and Acomo got out of the car and entered the manor villa under the guidance of others.

There were already a lot of people sitting in the lobby of the villa, and they were not young, and they all had strange eyes when they saw Acomo coming in.

It's only been a week, and Acomo's back is starting to become a little rickety, and he is also haggard a lot, without the domineering demeanor of the past.

"Everyone, I asked Barr to invite you over today." After sitting down, Acomo looked around the crowd, and then said slowly: "I know you all think I'm crazy now, that those things are all I did it, but, I have to say, I'm fine."

Acomo nodded his head, "Unprecedented sobriety."

"I admit that I did send people to hunt down Tony and the others recently, but I did not do what happened before. As for the evidence, there is no."

Everyone glanced at each other, without you saying Jill...

"Only a few minutes ago, a few days ago, the tire on the right side of the vehicle that was delivering the goods happened to explode at the same time and caused a rollover. It happened to be at the gate of the police station. It happened that there was another cargo inside. It happened that the goods were seen by everyone. It happened that I asked McIntosh I was photographed when I was there, and it happened that the photo was exposed by the media.”

"Don't you think all this is too coincidental, I have never seen it in so many years."

"And Mackintosh was murdered the moment he resigned."

"In just one week, everything broke out at the same time, hehe, I don't believe it if someone says that all of this is not planned!"

"There is a behind-the-scenes manipulator who is promoting all this, and he is not only targeting me, but also the entire Dimio."

"Guys, I don't know who is behind the scenes, but if the people behind the scenes are allowed to succeed, my Apple family will be finished, and you will not end well."

Acomo knew that relying on these words alone was useless, even if what he said was true.

If these old stubborn people were really visionary and wise, then the biggest family in Dimio would not be Apple.

So, "You all know that I have liver cancer, and I should be lying on the operating table to undergo surgery, but now...everything is delayed!"

As he said that, Acomo's face became grim, "I have two purposes for coming here today."

"First, end the civil strife in Dimio as soon as possible, and second, find out who is behind the scenes."

"For this reason, I am willing to completely abdicate after the matter is over, and the position of Patriarch will also be handed over to Bradley."

As soon as these words came out, a group of people at the scene suddenly went into an uproar.
