"Mussolini, Mussolini the Executioner, Mussolini the Executioner, Executioner" On September 10, 1944, John Rockefeller Jr.'
s car was traveling through Broadway in New York City to Wall Street when he was again confronted by a crowd of protesters.
It was the third procession he encountered on his way to Wall Street from his residence at 740 Park Avenue in New York today.
"Father, are they all Bolsheviks?"
asked Nelson Rockefeller, who was sitting in a large car with his father today, and frowned when he saw the red flag waved by the procession.
He came to New York from Washington to organize the visit of Mussolini, the European dove of peace who loves the United States, but he did not expect to encounter an astonishing scale of protests in New York Nelson Rockefeller said in his heart: These troublemakers really don't know the hearts of good people.
"Not exactly," John Rockefeller Jr. smiled, "the protests were indeed organized by the Bolshevik Party, but most of the protesters took our allowance to take to the streets. ” Of course, the protest needs to be subsidized, otherwise where did it come from so loudly It is not the Great Depression period, and the working people of the United States are hungry at home, so it will not cost anything to come out and protest.
Now is an unprecedented period of prosperity, where people are not hired, and overtime is required everywhere.
Without a stipend, how could the working people of the United States not want dollars to get along with Mussolini, who was bent on helping them get rid of the threat of atomic bombs?
And the allowances or something, where can the Bolshevik Party afford it, and now there is no Third International to sponsor them.
"We give them allowances" Nelson Rockefeller was an assistant secretary of state in the Roosevelt administration and was always busy with official business.
Little is known about what his father, other Wall Street tycoons, and other billionaires elsewhere in the United States are doing now.
"Why," surprised Nelson Rockefeller, "they are Bolsheviks and Mussolini is our friend?"
Nelson Rockefeller turned his head to look at his son, lowered his voice and said: "Of course, it was to pull Roosevelt's Democratic Party out of power, otherwise why would we give so much money to the Bolshevik Party and the scoundrel of Foster, the presidential candidate of the American Bolshevik Party" "Pulling Roosevelt's Democrats Out of Office" John Rockefeller Jr. nodded heavily, "And his damn New Deal, it's all his fault that America has fallen to where it is now, it's all the fault of the New Deal."
To save America, the New Deal must end" "Ending the New Deal" "To end the New Deal and retake the United States" Nelson Rockefeller certainly understood his father's thoughts.
Roosevelt's New Deal, while it "saved" the American economy, also took the country away from billionaire families such as the Rockefellers, Morgan, and Mellons.
Before Roosevelt's New Deal, the power of the US government was very small, the power of the trade unions was very small, and the power of the American plutocrats was so great that the capitalists could even hire armed security guards to deal with the striking workers.
However, after the introduction of the New Deal, the plutocracy suffered a great blow, the business tax rate rose sharply, the government power "expanded indefinitely", and the most intolerable thing for the capitalists was the alliance between the Democratic Party and the trade unions led by Roosevelt, so that the trade unions in the United States were protected by the supreme power for the first time in history.
With the trade unions and union leaders under the care of the supreme power, they are no longer the objects of bullying by thugs hired by the capitalists.
"Now is the opportunity," said John Rockefeller Jr., gritting his teeth, "that Roosevelt's navy had just suffered a humiliating defeat in Bermuda, and it seemed that it had to bend the knee to Europe."
And the beginning of November is the presidential and congressional elections, and if Roosevelt's Democratic Party can be portrayed as a sinner who has lost and betrayed American interests, then Roosevelt's New Deal coalition will fall apart in the election.
Then the United States will be back in our hands" Nelson Rockefeller took a breath, he knew that the "we" in his father's mouth did not refer to the Rockefeller family, but to a large number of well-known chaebol families in the United States.
Before the Great Depression, the United States actually belonged to these plutocrats, and the government had very little power, and it was an agent of the plutocracy.
Sometimes the chaebol bosses even come to power themselves, such as Andrew Mellon, the head of the Mellon family, who served as the Treasury Secretary for 12 years, and went through three Republican presidents: Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.
And the 12 years from President Harding to President Hoover can be said to be the era of Wall Street giants, and if it were not for the Great Depression and the ensuing Roosevelt New Deal, the good times would have continued.
"Father," Nelson Rockefeller still could not fully understand the thoughts of his father and some other plutocratic tycoons, and he asked, "if we mess up the peace talks, even if Mr.
Dewey becomes president, the United States will not be able to turn the tide of the war, and the price of peace will be even greater." ” Nelson Rockefeller is an assistant secretary of state, an insider in Washington, and he knows the current situation very well.
At present, there is a technological generation gap between the United States and Germany in terms of military strength, which cannot be made up by relying on numerical superiority, and besides, how much can the United States have a numerical advantage in the face of the production capacity of most of Europe "The price of peace," John Rockefeller Jr. smiled coldly, "the price of peace is that we are the true masters of the United States of America again, and if there is such an outcome, this world war will not be a real defeat for us." ” In fact, the big business groups in the United States are not really anti-war, otherwise Roosevelt would not have been able to bring the United States into the war, and the Rockefellers are relatively pro-German, which can be regarded as an exception.
However, the conglomerates must be shrewd in their calculations, and they all have ways to profit from winning the world war or not.
If the world war is won, then the American consortium will be able to use the national power and dollar hegemony of the United States to expand globally.
If the war is lost, then take the opportunity to knock down the New Deal coalition of war criminals and democrats, put obedient Republican conservatives on the throne, and then introduce a bunch of laws restricting trade unions, so that the United States can become a world of capital again White House, Washington, USA.
In a bedroom furnished into a hospital room, President Roosevelt lay on his bed, and his wife, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, sat in a chair next to him.
Truman and Dewey, who were running for president, also showed up in the hospital room, visiting Roosevelt, who had suffered a stroke and was bedridden, with flowers and cordial greetings.
Both men genuinely hoped that Roosevelt would recover and then devote himself to cleaning up the mess of the war.
To be honest, the war stall that the United States is facing now is really a bit too rotten.
America's enemies have weapons that can "destroy the world" and have superiority on land, at sea and in the air.
So the option before the president of the United States is not at all a victorious end to the war.
Now the question is just how much the United States will lose Neither Truman nor Dewey wanted to take responsibility for the defeat, they both wanted to be American presidents who could lead the United States out of the predicament of defeat and become great again.
But when they saw Roosevelt lying on the hospital bed dying, the clouds in their hearts became a little thicker.
"It's a pity," Roosevelt smiled bitterly at the two of them, "the Battle of Bermuda has been lost again, and it has been lost very completely.
Moreover, this defeat has also revealed to us a cruel reality: relative to Europe, the United States is backward in many aspects, and if it is backward, it will be beaten, and that no country in history that is comprehensively backward in military technology can rely on its own strength and military means to defeat a country that is comprehensively leading.
We're going to lose the war, lose militarily, so one of you is going to lead a failed America for the next 48 years, and it's very, very difficult."
After listening to Roosevelt's depressing remarks, Dewey and Truman, who were aspiring to lead a failed United States to success, breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time.
"Mr.
President," asked Truman, the Democratic presidential candidate close to Roosevelt, "do you mean that the United States needs to reach a peace agreement with Europe as soon as possible?"

It is best to end this damn war as soon as possible before the transfer of power between the old and new presidents in early 1945.
Then let Roosevelt, the old president, bear the responsibility for the defeat.
Instead of answering Truman's question, Roosevelt turned to another presidential candidate, John Dewey.
"Mr.
President," Dewey said, "I think that if the United States is certainly not able to win, the sooner peace is made, the less America has to lose." ” Dewey's remarks cannot be made in public, otherwise the American masses who do not know the truth will definitely punish him with their votes.
But it's one thing to fool voters on the oratory of an election, it's another thing to actually become president and take power.
If the United States really can't defeat Europe, then it will definitely lose a little less by suing for peace as soon as it still has some capital in hand.
If the Germans were really allowed to launch the atomic bomb into the United States with some kind of missile, then 500 billion European marks would definitely not be able to buy peace.
And Roosevelt now made it clear that he wanted to betray the infamy of the United States as a traitor and an American thief, and Thomas Dewey was certainly happy to see it happen.
Roosevelt nodded and said, "The compensation of up to 500 billion European marks will give us a long and painful period in the future."
It is likely that the United States will decline to its pre-World War level, no longer have huge gold reserves, no large overseas assets, and the world's financial center will shift from New York back to London and Paris It's quite a painful process, and there will be a lot of people who are not satisfied, and there will be a lot of people who have illusions about a more decent peace.
And I'm an outgoing president, do you know what I mean?"
