1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"Chairman, I'm here to report on DuPont..."

Chairman refers to the chairman of the national committee of the "God's People's Party".

With the help of Roosevelt, the party's structure has been basically established; as for the committee members?

The election hadn't started yet, but there was no doubt that the chairman was Springfield. "Well, Mr. Roosevelt."

Chuntian waved his hand and took the initiative to push Roosevelt's wheelchair: "Let's go inside and talk about this."

"Chairman, this..."

"Alright, alright, what's with the Chairman and the Saint? Don't I have a name?"

"...Yes, Ms. Field."

After the two entered the room, Roosevelt wasted no time and quickly reported on the full acquisition of all DuPont companies and assets such as the Empire State Building:

"...Everything is going smoothly, and no one is trying to interfere. According to our survey, the employees are in a stable mood, and are even looking forward to your official appointment as Chairman and President..."

Leaving aside people like Raskob who committed suicide out of fear or guilt and left behind wills, even if DuPont didn't leave a will, would anyone other than Springfield dare to lay their hands on all the assets?

Of course, no one would be stupid, because the DuPont family and the perpetrators who were confessed or implicated were almost all dead.

Therefore, although many people were itching to try it out, no one dared to take the risk of being targeted by the god of death. Instead, they hoped that Springfield would take over everything as soon as possible.

Although that incident had happened some time ago, when Roosevelt talked about it, he still couldn't help but secretly observe Springfield's profile, hoping to find something unusual on her beautiful face.

With the ability to control human expressions, he couldn't see anything, and he could only become more and more certain that Dupont and the things that happened afterwards were definitely divine punishment.

Roosevelt actually had a faint hope in his heart, hoping that if he continued to follow Miss Springfield, he would be able to see God alive one day.

By the way, later on, someone adapted the story of the inexplicable deaths of the DuPont family into a series of movies called "Final Destination".

Back to the point.

After Roosevelt finished introducing the basic situation, he took out a stack of documents:

"...These are the signatures of all members of the board of directors of DuPont and General Electric. If you sign here, you will take control of these two companies."

Without hesitation, Haruta took out his pen and scribbled his name on the document, then gave the following instructions:

"Mr. Roosevelt, please help me draft a statement to the effect that upon my death or resignation as president, all of my assets in DuPont and General Electric will be donated to the United States."

Ms. A. Field, this is legal property, you don't have to..."

"I know this is a legitimate asset, but I have no interest in increasing my wealth. I just want the American people to be happy and for America to become great again..."

Roosevelt was immediately in awe when he realized that Springfield was not acting! This was an asset worth tens of billions of dollars, even he could not help but be tempted! At the same time, the last trace of doubt in Roosevelt's heart completely disappeared.

Obviously, Ms. Springfield had absolutely no intention of killing those damn bastards, it's just that God couldn't tolerate it anymore!

That's right, if someone dared to attack such a saint, even if Roosevelt was God, he would not be able to help but use his divine power to interfere in the world!

"...To achieve the reforms we need, the country must have strong power. Money is the foundation for achieving that power. DuPont and GM are just the beginning. There will be more to come."

For example, Rockefeller, Morgan, Mellon, Cleveland, Carnegie... none of them can escape.

As for the reason?

Given Haruta's personality, she might have found an excuse, but her chaotic and evil commander was the "I don't eat beef" type when he got mad.

"Understood, Ms. Field."

Roosevelt ignored Springfield's veiled hint and handed over a second document:

"Then please allow me to report the second matter, regarding the party system reform you mentioned to me last time. This is the reform plan I have initially drafted..."

If the contents of this document were to be seen by outsiders, especially those from other political parties in the United States, it would surely cause an uproar!

Because this document talks about how to reform the party system and electoral system and turn the multi-party system of the United States into a one-party dictatorship!

That’s right, this is another thing in history that Roosevelt wanted to do but was unable to do due to many constraints such as his physical condition and actual conditions.

Contrary to what many people think, the current multi-party system in the United States is actually the product of a compromise among the founding fathers of the United States after repeated arguments.

At the beginning of the founding of the United States, the founding fathers were very uncertain about what kind of national system to implement.

After a fierce struggle between the "anti-democracy" and "pro-democracy" forces, the federal state system under the presidential system was finally determined;

But when it comes to political parties, the debate is even more contentious.

At the beginning, most of the more prestigious founding fathers insisted on "no party affiliation and unity in external affairs." They relied on their own prestige to barely suppress the strong opposition and debate within the party.

However, different people have different interests, and different interests will form different groups;

These nobles, large landowners, and big businessmen from the Old World had a great influence on the government, and it was impossible for them all to unite around the president.

Therefore, after the founding of the country, except for Washington who was an independent, almost all subsequent presidents had their own political parties, representing the interests of different groups, and there were constant party struggles in the states.

Many of America's founding fathers deeply detested this.

For example, Alexander Hamilton, the former representative of the Federalist Party (the first Secretary of the Treasury and the founder of the Federal Reserve), extremely hated the party system.

He believed that the party system would inevitably lead to one result: people from different parties would hijack the interests of the country for the benefit of their own small groups;

No matter which party obtains the presidency, they will inevitably exercise power as a spokesperson for their own party and interest groups, putting the interests of small groups above the national interests of the United States.

When this idea developed to a more extreme level, Hamilton even shouted "Long live the King" to oppose the "multi-party system".

Judging from the various bad things that have happened in history, such as "party disputes taking precedence over national affairs", Hamilton's view is undoubtedly very correct.

Roosevelt also realized this a long time ago, and also regarded the party struggles and "rotational governance" brought about by the "multi-party system" as the root cause of the decline in national administrative efficiency.

Therefore, in history, Roosevelt's "New Deal" was not just about improving people's livelihoods, but also about using various methods to completely tie private free capitalism to the chariot of state capitalism;

This means that no matter which party comes to power, the fundamental policies of the United States will not easily undergo a drastic 180-degree change, thus safeguarding the basic interests of the country.

This is also the origin of the saying "whether it is a Democratic or Republican president, they are all spokespersons for American imperial capitalism";

Roosevelt hoped to achieve a de facto "one-party dictatorship" through some complex system of binding interests (though he still didn't dare to change it openly);

If he had not died early, he might have been able to completely transform the United States into what he wanted and completely eliminate the root causes of party disputes (of course this is impossible, because where there are people, there are disputes).

But Roosevelt never expected that someone would think ahead and deeper than he did, and not only come up with a fairly complete preliminary plan, but also with more radical views, even directly proposing the concept of "one-party dictatorship"!

Because the content was too horrifying, Roosevelt did not even dare to show it to his closest assistant at first. After repeated attempts, he allowed the other party to participate.

Springfield took the document Roosevelt handed over, scanned it quickly, and nodded:

"Okay, leave the things here with me first, I'll think about it first."

In fact, I was planning to take some time to send it to the commander to have a look, after all, he is the real decision maker.

Roosevelt didn't think much about it and was about to leave after saying this, but was stopped by Springfield:

"Wait a moment, Mr. Roosevelt. I have another plan that I'd like you to take a look at. However, it's between you and me, and you must not reveal it to anyone else, including your assistants and family members."

"Um?"

Roosevelt took the document with suspicion, read the title, flipped through two pages, and then exclaimed in surprise:

"SS???"

280 I want to focus on military affairs

“SS!?”

The plan Roosevelt saw was exactly Springfield's plan to establish a force whose purpose was to "defend the God's People's Party and its governing program."

Abbreviation, SS (dog head).

In the United States, this idea is even more shocking than "one-party dictatorship" and is almost like "I want to be the emperor" written on one's face.

This is different from a private security company, this is a regular army!

(And the security companies of that time were not the later PMCs. In fact, they were quite primitive, similar to domestic security, except that the equipment might be hotter.)

To be honest, if the person who proposed this plan was not Springfield, the recognized saint in the United States, Roosevelt would have jumped out and criticized it harshly.

Even so, his expression turned rather grim, and he used the formal address:

"Ms. Springfield, what are you doing..."

"First of all, since it's you, I'll explain a little more. You don't think that I want to build an army for our party in order to establish a dictatorship for myself, right?"

"of course not."

Regardless of whether he thought so in his heart, Roosevelt had to say so on the surface. Besides, so far, he really couldn't see that Springfield had any intention of becoming a dictator.

Even so, Roosevelt still had doubts.

Because Chuntian really already has a strong popular support and political foundation to become a dictator!

If before those incidents, Springfield generally did not receive votes from the wealthy, high-income people, businessmen, and so-called "political professionals";

Well, after several successive displays of “miracles,” even the famously “anti-progressive” magazine Literary Digest was forced to revise their “election predictions” and admit:

Their readers changed their previous opposition and began to express their support for Her Highness the Saint, even though such support might harm their own interests in the future.

Roosevelt more or less guessed what those people were thinking—not only were they afraid of divine punishment, but they were also wondering if God had brought Springfield into the world because America had truly made some grave mistake that needed to be corrected immediately.

Before this, these people simply refused to acknowledge that the United States had any problems. They believed that the country was peaceful, the people lived happily, and their lives were harmonious and beautiful. They believed that anyone who opposed them was a foreign spy or an ignorant insect.

But now...

In short, after the preliminary poll data from various states came out, almost all other presidential candidates have voluntarily semi-withdrawn or simply announced their withdrawal from the election, even the Democratic and Republican parties.

Since there is no hope of winning, it is better to quit early. At the same time, he can gain a good reputation of "obeying God's will" and win the favor of Miss Springfield (in his opinion).

Even if Her Highness the Saint wanted to establish a dictatorship, who would dare to stop her? Who could stop her?

Not to mention those powerful people at the top, I'm afraid many people at the bottom would be happy to see this happen!

"Well, since you also believe that I won't become a dictator, let me ask you again, according to our plan, how many powerful people's interests will be harmed?"

“There will be a lot, no doubt.”

"So, will they resist or even sabotage and counterattack our plans?"

"no doubt."

Compared to Roosevelt, who was denounced by capitalists as a "red-blooded socialist," Springfield's plan was more "radical" and "socialist."

In other words, the interests of capitalists will be even more severely damaged, and this time, they may not be called "light red" but "deep red";

Although considering Springfield's status as a saint, the person who was scolded and assassinated was most likely Roosevelt, this does not mean that the group of people would not "rebel" under other banners.

"So, will they resort to all sorts of violent means, including assassinations and rebellion, to stop us?"

"Without a doubt..."

"So, for example, if you or I died in their attack, do you think our reforms could continue?"

"...cannot."

"So, you still think we don't really need a force that is loyal to our ideals to defend our political gains?"

Roosevelt fell into complete silence, clearly struggling with what to do.

Haruta wasn't surprised at his reaction at all.

Because Roosevelt was born into a wealthy family and lived under the absolute protection of "rules", throughout his life, he actually did not have a deep understanding of many things;

For example, the saying "If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created the problem" is true.

However, even Roosevelt knew that if one simply wanted to be a mediocre American president who only made money, he could easily make a lot of money in just four years and then step down;

But being a president committed to reform and innovation is no easy task. Without strong support, reforms are bound to fail.

If they could assassinate Lincoln and William McKinley, why couldn't they assassinate Springfield or Roosevelt?

Oh, Springfield will be fine.

Therefore, Roosevelt's life is also a life!

"Mr. Roosevelt, I heard two sentences in China. Would you like to hear them?" "Please go ahead."

"One saying is, 'Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun,' and another is, 'The Party commands the gun.'"

e"

Roosevelt was stunned for a second and was shocked.

As a fairly mature politician, he immediately sensed the political wisdom contained in these two sentences:

As a person in power, if you cannot control the military, the core violent organization, then your power will always be just a mirage and a castle in the air.
