1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Reporters frantically took notes, flashbulbs flashing. "But your attack on the White House..."

"attack?"

Hearing this, the veteran stared at the reporter coldly and rebuked:

"No, we just want to find the bastard who gave the order to suppress us and kill us, including our defenseless wives and children! Human rights are God-given! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

"..."

"Human rights are God-given! Blood debts must be repaid with blood!" No one can refute this statement.

Because this is one of the biggest political correctness in the United States, a land built on violence, deception, and bloodshed. Oh, your president is allowed to send troops to suppress veterans, but the veterans are not allowed to resist?

It would be fine if you beat the veterans, but who made you lose?

Thousands of active-duty soldiers with horses, guns, and tanks fought against a group of veterans who had long been retired and were unarmed at the beginning, along with their families, and they lost. Isn't that shameful? Losing is a mistake, and being incompetent is the original sin.

No wonder the British and Canadian forces were able to occupy the White House back then.

So, compared to the veterans' shocking "Occupy the White House" incident, everyone was more concerned: Damn, we're lucky we're far away from the Central Continent. Otherwise, how could such a bunch of useless insects protect the safety of America? The reporter, blushing and scorned by the crowd, retreated. Another reporter quickly asked:

"But I heard that the reason you were suppressed was actually because there were communists among you who were trying to overthrow the government?"

".."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.

Although the Communist Party of the United States has regained its legal status, communists are still under surveillance, and communism is still a very sensitive word in the United States. This is a world of Puritanism and capitalism.

"Communism? What is a communist? I don't quite understand." The old soldier's face showed a hint of confusion and stupidity.

"As for overthrowing the government, we will never do that. Why would we want to overthrow the government? What will happen to our compensation after it is overthrown?" "Uh... that's... that's..."

Now, the reporters couldn't ask any more questions.

Just as a reporter, hoping to make a big story, was trying to steer the topic to the brink of danger, the Vice President intervened:

"Gentlemen! I am Vice President Charles Curtis! I am here to negotiate with you. Please let me in!"

Instantly, flashbulbs were focused on the newcomer, and various interviews rang out:

"Mr. Vice President, what do you think of the veterans' actions this time?"

"Mr. Vice President, what do you think about the veterans being violently suppressed by the military last night?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Vice President..."

Curtis ignored all that and, under the protection of the guards, desperately squeezed through the reporters' cameras and came to the veterans' representative:

"I'm Vice President Charles Curtis. I'm here to negotiate with you on behalf of Congress and the United States government. Shall we go in and talk, sir?"

It's a bit shameful that the Vice President of a world power is so polite to a mere veteran. But who can blame the veterans for holding the President of the United States, the White House, and the dignity of the United States?

So, Curtis wanted to save his last bit of face.

It's better to talk behind closed doors.

“No, Mr. Vice President.

The veteran looked at Curtis proudly:

"We are talking here, in public, right under the noses of respected journalists!"

"this..."

"What? Is there something we can't discuss in front of everyone? Or is the US government trying to deceive us again?"

Now the reporters were excited.

Because, through the veterans' complaints, they already knew that the "massive layoffs" back then were entirely orchestrated by the US government, who ultimately pinned the blame for the pay demands on the veterans. If we could find evidence that the US government was trying to deceive the veterans again, wouldn't our newspaper be in turmoil?

My bonus...

Stimulated by the prospect of a better future and greater financial gain, the voices of questioning, taking photos, and the scratching of pens became louder.

There was no other way. Under the repeated insistence of the veterans' representatives and the pressure from the public, the Vice President could only put forward his demands in public: 1. Immediately take the President down from the flagpole. This is too damn embarrassing.

2. Immediately withdraw from the White House and release all "hostages". This is a fucking disgrace.

3. Immediately hand over the "culprit" of this incident. Someone has to take the blame.

As we all know, capital and bureaucracy are weak and compromising, but they are also vicious and cruel.

At this point, Curtis and his backers still hoped to intimidate the veterans and resolve the conflict at the lowest possible cost.

At least take back the White House first? Then...

Ha ha.

But the veterans, who seemed to have expected this, didn't buy it at all:

"We can take the President down from the flagpole, but we can't release him immediately! There's no 'culprit' in this incident! We're just fighting back when we're cornered!" "No, this..."

"Don't give me this and that, our demands are very clear and very reasonable. Gentlemen, please listen to me!"

The veterans' representatives gave up the debate with Curtis and, following their discussion with Ms. Spring last night, methodically presented their demands:

1. Pay $1000 per person in compensation to all 400 million World War II veterans, and $3000 per person in compensation to veterans and their families who died in this conflict; 2. Severely punish President Hoover for ordering the suppression of the petitioning veterans, remove him from office and sentence him to prison, and re-elect a new president according to the procedures;

3. The veterans shall not be held responsible for any of the events in this incident, including but not limited to clashes with the military and police, the killing of soldiers, and the damage caused by the occupation of the White House. 4. The veterans will not leave the White House until negotiations are concluded and the conditions are met. The government must unconditionally provide them with sufficient clean and sanitary drinking water, food, and necessary rest areas free of charge.

5. Starting this year, the government must provide no less than $200 million in annual support to the Veterans Association and guarantee their legal activities;

6. Allow veterans to legally possess all weapons and equipment they have seized and enact one to three comprehensive laws within two years to protect the legal right of all Americans to bear arms and the right to self-defense;

7. ....

As soon as the veterans put forward their demands, everyone knew they had someone behind the scenes to back them up! Otherwise, how could anyone think of bringing in the Veterans Association and the National Rifle Association to help? If this could be achieved, President Hu would have created countless firsts in American history! He would be the first American president to be captured by his own people.

The first American president to be hanged on a flagpole by the people of his own country;

The first US president to be impeached, removed from office, and even sentenced by the US Congress; the first...

Curtis, lacking real power, naturally couldn't agree on the spot, so he had to go back and explain the conditions to the bosses behind the scenes. This time, MacArthur immediately agreed with both hands and feet—at least he absolutely agreed to the second and third points.

Because this way, almost all the blame was put on President Hoover and the grassroots commanders, and General MacArthur was not responsible at all! Afterwards, the media promoted it as not only innocent, but even meritorious!

You see! At that time, I advised him not to suppress the veterans!

If the president had listened to MacArthur, we wouldn't be in this embarrassing situation today!

Hehehe, okay, okay, there are indeed smart people among the veterans.

Not only MacArthur, but also interested groups such as the "Veterans Association" and the "Gun Association" were frantically throwing money and clamoring after hearing these conditions, eager to agree to all of them.

Nonsense, even a fool can see that the people who benefit most from these conditions are not veterans and the American people, but them!

Deep down, the other gentlemen didn't actually think these conditions were excessive. They were mainly worried about the money.

400 million veterans (although there are actually not that many anymore), that's a full $40 billion!

Giving so much money to poor people is such a damn sin!

Besides, wasn’t it $500 in compensation before?

How dare you ask for such an exorbitant price!

but..

Just sit back and pay back the money!

Once this storm has passed, I'll deal with you poor bunch of bastards.

snort!

After several days of back-and-forth, the two sides finally reached an agreement, which was basically in accordance with the veterans' conditions, with only slight changes in details:

For example, the compensation and restitution amounts were adjusted to $800 or $2000, which were immediately paid to veterans who participated in this operation, and the remaining veterans were paid at a rate of $400/$200/$200 over the next three years.

The veterans expressed their understanding of this point - $40 billion is not a small number, and it will take time for the US government to come up with it.

For example, the president can be impeached, removed from office, and have all presidential privileges revoked, but he cannot be sentenced.

The veterans also understood this - the old men wanted to maintain some dignity!

For example, the veterans can be exempted from any responsibility, but they must also guarantee that no more than 500 people will be formed during the withdrawal from Washington;

The veterans understood this point - after what happened last night, everyone was worried that the veterans would suddenly explode again and attack them harshly.

For example, the funds provided to the Veterans Association...

Politics is the art of compromise.

After the two sides reached an agreement, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives quickly passed the bills proposed by Congressman Wright Patman to pay retirement benefits and to remove President Hoover, and published them in newspapers.

There is no way, it can't be delayed any longer.

Let's not talk about the lawyer named Truman and a group of public figures who were frantically leading the trend in the newspapers and criticizing the shamelessness of the US government, which led to a considerable number of people starting angry marches in support of the veterans;

Nor does it mention that the occupation of the White House has caused the entire United States, or at least the entire U.S. federal government, to be semi-paralyzed, with almost all work suspended;

Not to mention that the British and French had already learned about this and began to laugh wildly. The British even sent a telegram asking if British troops should land in Washington to help suppress the veterans.

What hurts us most is that the stock market has plummeted even further, and everyone has suffered heavy losses!

Every day of delay means more money will be lost.

No profit is also a loss!

Ah, one point that must be emphasized is that not everyone loses money.

During this period, several stocks that had plummeted due to the end of World War I and the Great Depression, and had soared due to the veterans' capture of the White House, saw another surge due to the conditions proposed by the veterans;

Some of the old men are so crazy about making money that they can't wait to run to the White House, kneel on the ground and ask the veteran comrades to occupy the White House for a few more days, and even better, fight a few fierce battles and kill a few congressmen other than them;

Well, if I can earn a little more, I might consider killing them.

Fortunately, we are still in the Great Depression and the Great Panic, and the changes brought about by the veterans have not had much impact on the people. Instead, there are a lot more jokes.

Anyway, we can't delay it any longer. If we delay it any further, who knows what kind of changes will occur.

All in all, the veterans achieved their main goals - getting compensation, punishing the president, and gaining further confirmation of their legitimate right to self-defense.

So, it's a big victory..

?

164 Let’s destroy the FBI first

Under the gaze of numerous reporters and retired military generals, the veterans released the "hostages" with satisfaction and began to line up at the White House gate to receive US dollars.

Of course, they were carrying guns, loaded, and surrounded by security troops when they were collecting the money, which made the officials who were distributing the money extremely frightened and embarrassed.

President Hoover, whose hair had completely fallen out, who had lost more than ten pounds and seemed to have aged ten years, left the White House and never returned.

The image of him hunching over and looking back every few steps was photographed by reporters and became a famous photo in later generations - "The Last Days of Hoover".

The president in the photo looks particularly pitiful and miserable, but in the current America, not many people sympathize with him.

I don't know who came up with the idea, but at the suggestion of some kind-hearted gentlemen, the "Veterans Camp" was designated as the "Veterans Cemetery" to bury the veterans and their families who died in the suppression that night.

The densely packed tombstones were already very shocking, and some of them had already been made, making everyone who saw them angry and cry.

For example:

"Bernard Myers rests here. He lived for only three months before being poisoned on the orders of President Hoover!"

For example:

"Ms. Anne Nathan died here. Her father did not die in the Marne River, but was drowned in the Anacostia River with her daughter!"

For example:

"This is the grave of William Smith, a brave American cavalryman who lost an arm serving his country and was honorably discharged. But on this night, he was trampled into a pulp by the horses' hooves of his descendants!"

And so on.

Each sentence succinctly summarizes the life of the deceased, and each word can accurately hit the softest point in the human heart.

Sympathize with President Hu?

Are you still a fucking human?

In this way, the veterans who buried their families, received compensation and achieved their goals left the White House and their country's capital in an orderly manner with the farewell of Washington residents.

Incidentally, all the equipment of the soldiers and officers who participated in the suppression that night was stripped away, from guns and ammunition to horses and sabers, nothing was left;

When they discovered that the veterans were actually leaving Washington on tall horses and even driving the ten M1917 tanks that imitated the French FT-17, the police and military generals in charge of surveillance had difficulty keeping a straight face.
