The Rise of the Third Reich

Chapter 1255 The Darkening of America 2

On June 25, 1945, an American political crisis caused by the exposure of "Tongde" was resolved by President Truman's decisive resignation before it fully developed. Although Wallace and the Labor Party who provoked this incident did not want to let go of Truman and the "capitulationists" behind him so easily, they wanted to lead the disaster of "Tongde" to the successor Kennedy.

But his idea met with unanimous resistance from congressional Republicans and the FBI. Congress first held hearings and asked Truman and John Rockefeller Jr. to testify. After the two refused by citing the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Congress did not agree to the Labor Party members' request for the new President Kennedy and Secretary of State Edward Stettinius Jr. to testify. Instead, William Joseph Donovan, who had just resigned as Director of the Office of Strategic Intelligence (the Office of Strategic Intelligence was disbanded after the armistice), was appointed as an independent prosecutor to investigate the Truman Tunde case - although Donovan was not Truman "Tunde" "A participant in the incident, but in the era of President Roosevelt, he did a lot of things such as "connecting with Britain", "connecting with France", "connecting with the Soviet Union", "connecting with Italy" and so on.

If he were pursued according to the standards of "Tongdemen", Donovan himself would be ruined! So I asked him to check the effect of Truman Tunde, and he figured it out with his heels.

After the independent prosecutor is appointed, the independent prosecutor should be fully responsible for the investigation of Tongdemen. If Wallace has any information, he can't break it directly to the media - he is the leader of the opposition party in Congress, and he breaks the news to the media every three days to say that the bad things about the president are politically motivated. The level of credibility is certainly not as good as that of "non-partisan" "Mr. Donovan."

In addition, the FBI seems to have little interest in continuing to pursue Tondemen. The federal agents sent by Director Hoover to investigate were also clumsy. Not only could they find nothing, they also lost a lot of key evidence. What's more, federal agents believed that they could not determine whether the phone call between Truman and Hitler was forged, and made a request to summon the Chancellor of the German Empire to New York to testify...

Of course, it was impossible for Hitler to go to New York to testify, but he still issued a statement through the "honest and credible" German Propaganda Minister Goebbels: claiming that he had never contacted Truman or any American leader in private. "Germany" is a pure fabrication. It is an incident of domestic political struggle in the United States and has nothing to do with Hitler or Germany.

Since "Honest Goebbels" said so, the FBI and independent prosecutor Donovan have no reason not to believe it... After all, there is no evidence that Goebbels and Hitler are lying, right? Therefore, the Tongdemen investigation ended in July 1945.

At this time, another major event in American politics replaced Tongde Gate and attracted everyone's attention. This major event was the formal merger of the Labor Party of the United States and the Bolshevik Party. The newly established party followed the name of the Labor Party of the United States, but modeled its political situation on the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union. The members of the political bureau are Wallace, who once served as the vice president and acting president of the United States, William Foster, the former general secretary of the Bolshevik Party of the United States, James Patrick Cannon, leader of the American Trotskyist movement, and the American Industrial Union Union President Philip Morlay and United Coal Mine Workers President John Lewis.

As soon as it opened, the new American Labor Party carried the banner of realizing socialism in the United States, and claimed that it was a "fellow traveler" of the Second International (due to the liquidation of the Socialist Party in Germany's "Transformational Justice Act", the Second International no longer existed in Europe. The foothold has now collapsed on its own, so the American Labor Party has no way to join the Second International and can only become a fellow traveler). Later, the Labor Party held a public press conference, revealing the inside story that the American Democratic Party had surrendered to the bourgeoisie and was preparing to join forces with the Republican Party to repeal the National Labor Relations Act, which protects the interests of the American working class.

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately set off a storm in the United States. American workers, who were already facing unemployment and a significant loss of income due to the large-scale cancellation of military orders, began to launch a general strike with the participation of 5 million people, organized by the Federation of Industrial Unions and the Coal Workers Union.

The striking workers demanded that the Republican and Democratic parties of the United States make a public statement before July 31, 1945: guaranteeing that they would not repeal the National Labor Relations Act.

On August 1, as the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States refused to issue a statement, millions of striking workers and their families, organized by the Federation of Industrial Unions and the United Coal Workers, took to the streets of major industrial cities in the northeastern United States.

On this day, outside the wave of strikes and protests, the White House, the center of American power, was holding a secret meeting that would forever change the domestic political structure of the United States.

Participating in this meeting were current US President Kennedy, former US President Truman, US Democratic Senate Leader Buckley, Democratic House of Representatives Leader Samuel Tolliver Rayburn, US National Fascist Party Leader Lindbergh, and the US Ku Klux Klan. Leader and Chief Justice Hugo Black et al.

By the way, the relationship between the notorious American Ku Klux Klan and the Democratic Party is very deep! This party was founded after the Civil War. At the beginning, its main members were Confederate generals and soldiers who were unconvinced by the defeat in the Civil War, as well as extreme racists among civilians. However, not long after its establishment, it was disbanded by U.S. President Grant in 1871. However, Grant did not carry out the necessary purges (physical elimination) of the members of the Ku Klux Klan. So the top leaders of the Ku Klux Klan joined the Democratic Party one after another and entered politics under the cloak of the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party, which was disgraced during the American Civil War, also deliberately merged with the Ku Klux Klan in order to survive. Since the 1870s, it has become an agent of the racists in the American South - for decades During the period of time, the seven southern states in the United States were iron-vote areas for the Democratic Party. It often happened that the Republican Party lost all elections in one state (one of the seven southern states).

This situation changed after World War I. Because in 1915, Colonel Simons of Georgia re-established the Ku Klux Klan, and over the next twenty years the Klan achieved unprecedented development. At one time, there were as many as 5 million party members! After the rise of Nazism and fascism in Europe in the 1930s, the Ku Klux Klan merged with fascist and Nazi groups in the United States. Therefore, it disbanded again after the United States entered the war. However, after the United States and Rome negotiated peace in 1944, the party was restored again, and it also adjusted its policies. It no longer opposed Catholics (the great fascist Mussolini was a Catholic), but instead The finger points at socialism, progressives, Jews and black people.

However, although the influence of the Ku Klux Klan is not small, this party generally does not launch its own candidates in domestic elections in the United States, but participates in politics through the Democratic Party. Many Democrats have the experience of joining the Ku Klux Klan (Truman was a Klansman), and the Ku Klux Klan also supported the Democratic Party in elections. The Democratic Party at that time was not a cute left-wing white left party, but a "quasi-Nazi" Fascist" party.

It was only under the leadership of Roosevelt, an atypical Democrat, that many elements of the white left were added. The Roosevelt family is a wealthy political family in New York and has always been a Republican. Theodore Roosevelt also served as a Republican president. It was only later that he broke with the Republican Party because of his "progressive" stance and established the Progressive Party. It also drew a large number of progressives from the Republican Party, and these people later became followers of Franklin Roosevelt and joined the Democratic Party (Franklin Roosevelt betrayed the Republican Party earlier than his uncle, was won over by the Democratic Party in 1910, and was elected as the New York State Senator), becoming the source of the New Deal - Roosevelt's New Deal was actually the "progress" of his uncle, President Theodore Roosevelt Doctrine" is not the traditional Democratic Party line.

Moreover, the policies to help blacks in the "New Deal" were contrary to the traditional Democratic Party line. If it were not for Roosevelt's strength, there would have been a struggle between the New Dealers and the traditionalists within the Democratic Party.

But now, Roosevelt's New Deal line has gone bankrupt because of the world war, and the Democratic Party has become the sinner of the United States because of its defeat and betrayal!

At the same time, the Democratic Party also split, and the New Deal leftist cadres followed Wallace and left to establish a separate Labor Party. If the traditional politicians of the Democratic Party want to continue their political careers, they will naturally have no choice but to turn to the traditional racist line.

Since the president automatically became one of the leaders of the Democratic Party, Kennedy and former President Truman, who still had a certain degree of influence, wanted to go one step further and simply abandon the name of the Democratic Party, which had become stinky, and replace it with the name of the National Socialist Party of America. At the same time, the American Fascist Union and the Ku Klux Klan were integrated to form a truly powerful National Socialist Party to participate in the 1946 midterm elections.

Of course, the new National Socialist Party cannot be made public now. It must wait until Congress votes to pass the "European Community-United States Peace Treaty" and the "Proposal to Repeal the National Labor Relations Act" before throwing away the Democratic Party's brand...

"So, Mr. President, Mr. Truman, do you plan to join the new National Socialist Party?" After listening to the suggestions of President Kennedy and former President Truman, the leader of the Fascist Party, Lindbergh, asked thoughtfully, "The new National Socialist Party will not immediately become The ruling party?"

"The ruling party?" Truman smiled and shook his head. "The National Socialist Party will definitely be in power, but not before 1950. The mess in the United States is not easy to clean up, and any party will be unlucky if it gets involved."

Kennedy nodded: "So I will organize a non-partisan or... called hyper-partisan government after the collapse of the Democratic Party."

"Non-partisan?" Buckley, the leader of the Democratic Party, hesitated. "What can a non-partisan government do?"

"It can clean up the mess." Kennedy smiled, "The first is to raise reparations materials... This is very hated, but it has to be done; the second is to establish a highly independent U.S. Defense Force, which is a matter that no party can Neither can afford it; the third is to support the bastions of freedom in Australia and New Zealand... no single party can be responsible for this matter; the fourth is, of course, to support the development and growth of the National Socialist Party.”

The first three things Kennedy said are all things that must be done, but will be scolded after doing it. Let’s not talk about compensation. If we don’t pay compensation, we will suffer the atomic bomb! Unless the United States has its own atomic bomb, it must pay compensation. The establishment of a highly independent U.S. National Defense Force is also a necessary means to maintain the combat effectiveness of the U.S. military. Without such a national defense force, what the U.S. military does will be exposed to Congress and the news media.

Many things, such as research on secret weapons that are not in compliance with the treaty, maintaining cooperative relations with the Australian and New Zealand armies, supporting the anti-Japanese struggle in Southeast Asia, maintaining cooperation with the Soviet Red Army and the revolutionary armies of the East Asian continent, etc., are difficult to advance.

In addition, without a highly independent national defense force, the United States' future military expenditures may be cut to a minimum by the ruling party, let alone the development of secret weapons and support for world revolution.

As for supporting the Freedom Fortress of Australia and New Zealand, it is a national policy that the United States cannot make public! Although it cannot be discussed in Congress, regardless of whether the Republican Party, the National Fascist Party or the Labor Party, the relevant bills will be given the green light all the way - after all, the United States is not convinced of the defeat!

Therefore, although President Kennedy was weak, he could still accomplish many things.

As for Truman, although he was tarnished by the "Tondegate" incident and could not publicly serve as the leader of the National Socialist Party, he could still operate behind the scenes and continue to exert his residual enthusiasm.

The secret meeting held at the White House on August 1 was a success. President Kennedy, former President Truman and leaders of the Democratic Party, the National Fascist Party and the Ku Klux Klan who participated in the meeting finally signed a document in the Oval Office of the President. Later historians believed that the secret agreement that put the United States completely on the fascist line-known as the "August 1 Agreement" in history. However, at the time, few people in the United States knew of the existence of this agreement.

The day after the agreement was signed, August 2, 1945, was also a decisive day for the future of the United States.

On this day, the three most influential men in the U.S. Army, General MacArthur, who has long presided over the South Pacific Theater, General Patton, the hero who "recovered" the Hawaiian Islands, and General Marshall, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, were all invited to the White House. The Oval Office.

"Generals," Kennedy looked at the three frowning generals, smiled and said, "Do you know who Hans von Seeckt is?"

"Yes," George Patton responded the fastest and replied: "President, he is the father of the German Wehrmacht. It is due to his efforts that Germany can maintain a dynamic elite army after the defeat of the World War... If not He and our country will never suffer the disgrace of defeat."

Kennedy nodded, then glanced at the three generals in front of him with sharp eyes, and said: "Now I need an American Hans von Seeckt! You said you want to be the American Hans von Seeckt? Kurt?"
