The Rise of the Third Reich

"Fight together?" Hoover looked at Wallace with big eyes. "Vice President, do you want me to join the Labor Party?"

"No, of course not." Wallace waved his hand quickly, "I am a traditional American politician, not a Bolshevik...so I respect the independence of the judiciary and the non-partisanship of the military. You are the most important judicial official in the United States, and you are not As cabinet members, it is necessary to maintain basic political neutrality, and we, the Labor Party, are not a political force that undermines judicial neutrality. But you and the FBI should fight against politicians who try to undermine judicial neutrality, otherwise the FBI will. Sooner or later it will become a tool for fascism to control the United States.

Edgar, if the fascists do come to power one day, you will lose the FBI. "

Wallace's words made Edgar Hoover's slightly open brows tighten again. Although many people in history regard Hoover as a "quasi-fascist". But in fact, Hoover and the FBI he led were anti-fascist. The pro-German Rockefeller family and American fascist leaders like Lindbergh were both punished by the FBI.

However, the American judicial system is relatively "incompetent", and the FBI cannot directly arrest and execute the Rockefellers and various American fascists. It must be tried in court and convicted by a jury. Therefore, the FBI's efforts were ultimately undermined by the clever American barristers. The Rockefeller family only paid a fine of $10,000 for Tunde - which was a joke to Rockefeller!

Although Lindbergh and others were once ruined, they were not jailed. After the reconciliation between the United States and the Roman Empire, these people openly displayed the banner of the American National Fascist Party and appeared in public.

If the American National Fascist Party finally came to power with the support of pro-German forces like the Rockefeller family, then Hoover, the "anti-fascist fighter", would undoubtedly lose his FBI.

His methods - mainly collecting various scandals - are no problem when used against "gentlemen" from the Republican and Democratic parties, but they are not very effective when dealing with fascists. Are there not enough scandals between Mussolini and Juan Peron? Didn’t he still firmly control the Roman Empire and the New Asbanian Federation? Therefore, once the fascist party seizes power in the United States, Hoover will definitely be in trouble!

Of course, the same goes for the Bolsheviks coming to power. Hoover has done a lot of harm to the American Bolsheviks in recent years.

Therefore, for the politically "neutral" Hoover, the only party in power in the United States that he could accept after the collapse of the Democratic Party in the future would be the Republican Party.

In order for the Republican Party to be in power for a long time, the Labor Party (Bolshevik Party) and the Fascist Party must maintain a balance and harm each other.

Otherwise, once the Labor Party or the Fascist Party completely replaces the Democratic Party, it will be a matter of time before the Republican Party collapses. Once the Republican Party collapses, the fascist party will turn the United States into another Rome or Germany. By then, Hoover, the "anti-fascist fighter," would most likely be in trouble. "Losing" the FBI would be a minor thing, but if it was more serious, he might even lose his life.

As for the Labor Party (Bolshevik Party), it was indeed much less of a threat to Hoover. Because the Fascist Party has made it clear that it has strong support from the National Fascist Party of Rome and the National Socialist Party of Germany, and the Labor Party (Bolshevik Party) has made it clear that it is the enemy of Germany and Rome. If the American people choose the Labor Party, they are choosing a third party. World War II...

When Wallace saw Hoover's silence, he knew that the other party was somewhat swayed by him, but he had not made up his mind yet.

"Edgar," Wallace said, "do you know who Truman was? Do you know what the Democratic Party would be without leftists like me?"

"President Truman is..." Hoover seemed to remember something.

"He's a Ku Klux Klansman, a Scottish Rite Freemason!" Wallace said. "A typical old Democrat. And the old Democrats...actually took a racist line, the old Democrats and the Ku Klux Klan. People are all in the same group. And behind Truman is the support of the old Democratic Party wealthy families like the Pendergast family, and he has always shown himself as a supporter of Roosevelt's New Deal. Edgar, do you understand what I am saying? "

Those who are not an insider in American politics would not be able to understand what Wallace said. However, Hoover was a big shot in American political circles, so he certainly understood what Wallace meant.

"Vice President," Hoover frowned, "do you think the president has the ability to integrate the right wing of the conservative Democratic Party, the Ku Klux Klan, the Fascist Party, and the Progressives (Roosevelt faction) into a new fascist party? "

Wallace shrugged: "Edgar, I think you already have the answer in mind... In fact, the conservatives of the Democratic Party are the Ku Klux Klan, and the Ku Klux Klan and the fascist party are also in the same group. And among the progressives, there has always been There are Nazis!”

"Vice President Kennedy seems to be pro-Nazi, right?" Edgar Hoover said. "He is the right wing of the New Dealers, isn't he? If President Truman is removed from office, will Kennedy be better than him?"

Wallace burst out laughing: "Edgar, why do you ask such an innocent question? Kennedy is not an old Democrat, he is a Catholic from Ireland. And he is not a real New Dealer, he is a A speculative billionaire...it would be more natural if he joined the Republican Party."

Both the old Democratic Party and the Ku Klux Klan were somewhat hostile to Catholics, and the latter once even regarded Catholics as their enemies! So Kennedy was an atypical Democrat. In addition, he did not really support the New Deal, he was just an "official fanatic" who wanted to get an official position from Roosevelt.

Therefore, if Kennedy becomes the President of the United States, he will also be a lame guy who cleans up the mess. It is absolutely impossible to become the co-leader of the right wing among the conservatives of the Democratic Party, the Ku Klux Klan, the Fascist Party and the progressives (Roosevelt faction). And if Truman continues to sit on the presidential throne, he may create a powerful American Nazi Party in the next few years!

Hoover nodded and said: "The 69th floor of 1 Rockefeller Plaza, New York...Vice President, do you understand?"

"I understand that I will not embarrass the FBI."

…

"Charles, have you seen a copy of the European Communities-United States Peace Treaty and the Proposal to Repeal the National Labor Relations Act?"

In New York, in the luxurious office belonging to John Rockefeller Jr. at 1 Rockefeller Plaza, two folders were placed in front of the visiting leader of the American National Fascist Party, Charles Lindbergh. Inside the folder were copies of the European Community-United States Peace Treaty and a copy of the Proposal to Repeal the National Labor Relations Act.

"I've seen it." Charles Lindbergh replied.

The European Community-United States Peace Treaty has not yet been made public and is a state secret. But Lindbergh had already obtained a copy from his Roman mentor Mussolini. As for the "Proposal to Repeal the National Labor Relations Act", although it has not yet been formally discussed in Congress, Lindbergh was once the leader of the isolationist movement in the United States and had good relations with many conservative Republican congressmen. Moreover, his father was also a member of Congress, so he He was originally a member of Washington's power circles. So getting a copy of the Proposal to Repeal the National Labor Relations Act is a piece of cake.

"I've seen it, I've seen it all." Charles Lindbergh frowned his golden eyebrows and said angrily, "The Germans' demands are very excessive...really excessive!"

Although he is a fascist, it does not mean that he is Hitler's lackey - fascists and Nazis are both nationalists. Unless the United States joins the United States of Europe and Lindbergh's national identity becomes Europe, he will inevitably oppose German blackmail.

"So... what about the National Labor Relations Act Repeal Proposal?" Rockefeller asked with a frown.

He had actually discovered that Lindbergh had somewhat neglected the working class. Unlike Hitler and Mussolini, Lindbergh, a fascist, was a rich and handsome man from the upper class. He had a father who was a barrister and congressman, a mechanical expert and inventor (he invented the original artificial heart), and an aviator who was regarded as a star. Although I am not super rich, I have never tasted poverty.

Such a character will naturally not pay much attention to the working people at the bottom. In addition, the basis of American fascism is actually racism - mainly hatred of blacks and anti-Semites. It has a large market among farmers in the seven southern states and is not very attractive to the working class in the Northeast.

"You should oppose the National Labor Relations Act Repeal Proposal, resolutely!" Seeing that Lindbergh didn't seem to care, Rockefeller reminded him, "Otherwise, the votes of workers in the northeastern industrial areas will fall into the hands of the Bolsheviks... … They are the major threat we face as a country in the future.”

"Against...capitalists and Republicans?" Lindbergh still didn't understand the point.

The elderly Rockefeller shook his head and said, "Of course you are against Jewish capitalists! Charles, you are a Nazi. Didn't the Nazis get their start by opposing Jewish capitalists?"

Rockefeller was not a Jew. He was a blond, blue-eyed Germanic superman. Of course he looked down on Jewish capitalists. By the way, the Morgan family, who are often misrepresented as Jews, are actually English, so they are pro-Germany and pro-Roman (Morgan and Mussolini are old friends).

"But..." Lindbergh was not particularly anti-Semitic. In fact, he was wrongly accused of being a fascist. He was only pro-Germany and opposed to war with Germany - his father, like him, firmly opposed the United States' participation in the First World War.

Rockefeller waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have many Jewish friends...I have nothing against them. But you are an American Nazi, and you must find an object to hate for the white working class. After all, someone abolished the National Labor Relations Act "It's very hateful, and I can totally understand that, but we can't let the votes that are lost from the Democratic Party go to the Labor Party, you understand?"

The Labor Party is now about to merge with the Bolshevik Party and is naturally the agent of the working people. The purpose of capitalists like Rockefeller in supporting American fascism is certainly not to bring fascism to power. The capitalists like the Republican Party, while the fascists are used to contain the Labor Party.

To some extent, Rockefeller's purpose in supporting fascism was similar to Wallace's purpose in organizing the Labor Party. The former was to block the way of the Bolsheviks, and the latter was to block the way of the fascists.

However, this does not mean that the Labor Party and the Fascist Party will not fight to the death for a larger political territory.

Just as the conversation between Rockefeller and Lindbergh was coming to an end, the phone on Rockefeller's desk suddenly rang. Rockefeller picked up the phone receiver, and then heard the female secretary's urgent and fast voice: "Mr. Rockefeller, there seems to be a fire on the 39th floor of the building, and there is thick smoke coming out."

"What? A fire?" Rockefeller was startled by the female secretary's report. Skyscrapers like Rockefeller Plaza are the most vulnerable to fire!

"How's the situation?" Rockefeller quickly asked.

"It's not serious. It's under control." The female secretary reported. "The manager of the building reported that a fire broke out in an office of the Associated Press. It seems that someone set the fire deliberately."

1 Rockefeller Plaza is one of the best office buildings in Manhattan, New York. Many American news organizations have rented offices here, including the famous Associated Press. The security of the building has always been very tight, but this was the first time it was set on fire.

"Deliberately setting fire? Burning down the AP office?" Rockefeller frowned, seeming to notice something was wrong, "Did you call the police?"

"The police have been called." the female secretary replied

"Oh." Although Rockefeller felt something was wrong, he hung up the phone without asking any more questions. Then he took a private elevator with the leader of the Fascist Party, Lindbergh, to leave his office at 1 Rockefeller Plaza.

However, he never imagined that this seemingly trivial arson case would cause a political turmoil that caught the Rockefeller family, President Truman, and Vice President Kennedy by surprise.

The origin of this turmoil is said to be that a careless judge in New York City signed a search warrant for the wrong floor. In order to investigate the Associated Press arson case, the New York City Police Department applied to search the building where the Associated Press office is located. The 39th floor of Rockefeller Plaza, but the careless police officer wrote the floor as the 69th floor, and the confused judge followed suit.

What is even more incredible is that the New York State Police detective who applied for the search warrant actually led people to search the 69th floor of 1 Rockefeller Plaza. As a result, the arsonist was not caught, but a huge radio station that could contact Europe was discovered. Code books and communication records that were not burned in time were also found, and a telegram that was not sent in time was even found. The content of the telegram was related to the ongoing peace talks in Rome, and at the beginning of the telegram, there were the words "Dear Leader of the German Empire" and at the end it was signed "Harry S. Truman".

The New York City Police Department has not yet had time to report these "accidental" but very important findings to the FBI - the case of suspected President Tunde is certainly not under the jurisdiction of the New York City Police Department's Major Crime Team and must be reported to the federal government. The Bureau of Investigation—many news organizations in New York City learned all the details of the incident!
