With a soft sound, US President Harry S.
Truman pushed open the two documents in front of him.
These two documents, one is a draft copy of the European Community American Peace Treaty brought back from Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, by US Secretary of State Edward Stettinius, Jr.
One is a proposal by Republican Congressman Hardlight to repeal the National Labor Relations Act.
One is a peace treaty that humiliates the country, and the other is a bill that is detrimental to the interests of workers.
The two may seem incompatible, but they can be linked in the parliamentary struggle with American characteristics.
Unlike the sacred and solemn legislative session that some people imagine, the U.S. legislature is more often like an exchange.
All kinds of bills and voting rights in the hands of parliamentarians are tradable, and legislators are a bit like brokers, representing the voters or financiers behind them, and come to the exchange called the "Senate" or "House of Representatives" to buy and sell.
Sometimes, parliamentarians will exchange their precious voting rights for financial support, and it costs money to engage in politics, and parliamentarians themselves have to live a decent life, so money is absolutely indispensable.
At other times, the legislators will exchange voting rights for each other, I support the bill you propose, and you support the bill I propose, so that everyone can have an account for the boss behind it, and the humiliating European Community, the United States peace treaty, and the proposal to repeal the National Labor Relations Act, which deprives workers of their rights, are voting rights transactions between the Republicans and the Democratic Party.
In order for the European Community and the United States peace treaty to be passed in Congress, it must have the support of the Republican Party, and in the same way, the proposal to repeal the National Labor Relations Act must also have the support of the Democratic Party and President Truman himself, because the proposal to repeal the National Labor Relations Law was put forward by the opposition Republicans, and even if it was passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, Truman could exercise his veto power and send the bill back to Congress.
And if the Republicans want to force the bill, they need a two-thirds majority vote in both houses and the Senate, which is of course impossible.
Because the National Labor Relations Act, which the Republicans wanted to repeal, was one of the most important and labor-class bills of Roosevelt's New Deal, which recognized the right of employees to organize unions, and unions had the power to bargain collectively; It also stipulates that employers may not interfere with or suppress the exercise of such rights by employees, prohibit strikes or discriminate against trade unionists; It was also decided to establish a National Labour Relations Agency to be responsible for the implementation of this Act.
It is also known as the Magna Carta of the American Worker.
If the bill is repealed, the rights of the American working class will be greatly regressed to the pre-Great Depression and, for the powerful American unions, the legal death sentence.
Therefore, after the bill is passed in Congress, it will definitely meet with a strong backlash from workers and trade unions.
If it were not for the fact that the world war had been lost and had to rely on the Republican Party's support to pass a humiliating peace treaty, few members of Congress of the US Democratic Party who enjoyed the "New Deal dividends" would have supported the repeal of the National Labor Relations Act.
Even in the current situation, Truman could not win over all the Democratic congressmen, at most he could barely "pass" the bill, and it was impossible for him to have two-thirds of the votes in favor of it.
Therefore, President Truman's approval is also something that the Republican Party must obtain.
In exchange, the Republicans would have to ensure that the European Community's U.S. peace treaty would pass in Congress.
Sitting across from Truman is Republican Senate leader Robert Alfonso Taft, and Democratic Senate leader Alben William Buckley.
Truman looked at the two Senate leaders, and after a while, sighed, "Robert, Albon, can you pass?"
"There's no problem on the Republican side," Taft patted his chest, "as long as the National Labor Relations Act can be repealed, the vast majority of Republican lawmakers will support the European Community's U.S. peace treaty." ” The Republican Party of this era was largely supported by the bourgeoisie, the petty bourgeoisie, and the so-called middle class.
The repeal of the Labor Bill, which is the appeal of Republican supporters, is not only bad for the capitalists, but also bad for the petty bourgeoisie and the managerial class.
As for the humiliating European Community peace treaty with the United States, although it will be unpleasant to Republican supporters, it is much better than the atomic bomb falling on the United States.
"Mr.
President, I'll try to fight for it as much as I can."
Buckley, a Democrat, is not as confident as Taft of the Republicans.
Although the contents of the European Community's U.S. peace treaty and the proposed repeal of the National Labor Relations Act have not been made public, most well-informed U.S.
Democratic lawmakers have heard the rumors.
These two cases do not benefit them a penny, especially some of the congressmen's constituencies in the northeastern industrial districts and the agricultural districts of the seven southern states are a little easier to talk to, as long as the Democrats return to the racist line, they can be elected with their eyes closed, and they all have the idea of leaving the party and joining the Workers' Party.
Because the political lives of these parliamentarians depend on the votes of the workers and trade unions and their black brothers, and as soon as the Democrats support the proposal to repeal the National Labor Relations Law, the workers and the unions will vote for the Workers' Party, the Bolshevik Party, and the Fascist League.
And some blacks who were finally won over by Roosevelt to the side of the Democratic Party will deviate because the Democratic Party has returned to the racist line, and after losing the support of the working class in the Northeast, the Democratic Party can only survive by returning to the southern iron vote area and taking the racist line, and this is also an inevitable choice Truman sighed and looked at Barkley: "Albon, after all, this war is what we brought to the United States, and since we have defeated, then we must also end the war, even if it costs us a certain price, which is our responsibility as American statesmen." ” "I understand, I understand."
Buckley paused, and suddenly frowned, "But some people don't understand this truth, and now they are busy colluding with the Bolshevik Party, and in the demolition of our platform, many parliamentarians from the northeast and west have been moved by him."
Truman also frowned, he knew that the unreasonable man was Wallace, and he had already ordered Hoover to deal with him.
But Hoover doesn't seem to have done anything until now, what is the head of the FBI up to now?
"Thank you, Mr.
Vice President, for your coffee."
Director Hoover of the FBI, who had high hopes from Truman, was drinking coffee with former Vice President Wallace on a private farm in rural New York State.
Although he is the most powerful "spy chief" in the history of the United States, he is not Beria or Dzerzhinsky after all.
The United States is a capitalist country that simply will not allow the head of an investigation bureau to do whatever he wants.
Although Director Hoover has been in office for many years, he grabbed a lot of pigtails of big people.
However, according to U.S. law, there is no severe punishment for even collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, as long as they are not active military personnel or government employees.
Moreover, it is not Hoover, the director of the FBI, who has the final say.
That would have to be tried by an independent court, and a jury would decide whether or not to be convicted.

Therefore, the big pigtails in Hoover's hand are actually just some scandals that can damage the reputation of politicians.
Wallace, the former vice president and Democratic Party leftist leader, and now the chairman of the American Labor Party, is a very honest and honor-cherished politician, and he was appointed by Roosevelt as secretary of agriculture because he has expertise in agriculture and is an expert in agricultural and plant genetics, so he entered the political arena.
Not a typical politician, so there are not so many stains to catch.
Maybe a little pro-Soviet and pro-G, but the Soviet Union is now a hardcore ally of the United States, and the Bolshevik Party also has seats in the US Senate and House of Representatives, so there is nothing to blame for this.
While he could not find Wallace's guilt, Hoover did not want to be driven by Truman, a president destined to leave a notorious name in American history, and perhaps impeachment.
So after getting Truman's order, he dragged it out without going to Wallace.
But Hoover didn't look for Wallace, but Wallace sent someone to invite Hoover to his farm.
After drinking coffee for a while, Hoover gently put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at Wallace with a long face full of "positive colors".
"Mr.
Vice President, I don't think the purpose of you invited me to New York is for coffee."
"Edgar," Wallace twirled the coffee cup in his hand, "I think the FBI should be investigating President Tonde right now."
Truman's case of President Tongde was personally exposed by Wallace in a letter to Hoover, and he was willing to provide key testimony that Truman's top-secret intelligence that the German army was going to use atomic bombs in Concepson Bay was the key evidence of his Tongde without the knowledge of the military and the Strategic Intelligence Agency While the FBI cannot prosecute the president for this, once an investigation is launched and notified to Congress, it will inevitably force Congress to hold a hearing.
And at the closed-door hearing, Truman had to explain his sources of intelligence.
Of course, if Hoover really wants to seriously investigate, with his ability and the ability of the FBI, he will definitely find out more evidence of President Truman's Tongde.
"Uh" Hoover frowned, looking at Wallace in embarrassment, "Mr.
Vice President, it's not appropriate to investigate the president at this time."
"Director Hoover," Wallace looked at Hoover, "I know what the situation is now, and I know that the United States has lost a world war, and it is irretrievable.
I also know that what the president is doing now is to reduce the losses of the United States. ” Hoover looked at Wallace with some strange eyes: "Vice President, you understand the president" "Yes."
Wallace nodded, "Of course I understand him, he's a good president." ” "But you're still struggling with him."
Hoover noted.
Wallace shrugged, "Actually, I'm not trying to get the president in trouble, I'm trying to save America." ” "Save America" "That's right," Wallace said, looking at Hoover, "our country is facing an unprecedented crisis, and at the same time transformation.
The era of Democratic and Republican dominance of the political arena will end after the 1946 midterm elections, and with it will be an era of continued turmoil. ” Hoover didn't say a word.
He shared the same expectation that the Democratic Party, which had betrayed the working class and was accused of defeat and treason, would surely collapse after the 1946 midterm elections.
However, the collapse of the Democratic Party did not mean that the Republicans were dominant, because the Fascist and Bolshevik parties and Wallace's Labor Party sought an overlapping number of voters with Democratic supporters.
After Roosevelt's New Deal, the Democratic Party began to invade the traditional political territory of the Republican Party, and in the seventies and eighties, the political map of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party rebelled, Lincoln's Republican Party gradually became a white party, and the Democratic Party, which was originally supported by Southern slave owners, was white-left, but in the 40s, this situation was not obvious, especially after the Republican Party evolved into a spokesman for the bourgeoisie under the blow of Roosevelt's New Deal.
Workers and blacks in the Northeast will largely not support the Republican Party.
So after the midterm elections in '46, there is a good chance that there will be a four- or three-party contest in the United States, and Hoover certainly knew that the Workers' Party and the Bolshevik Party were preparing to merge.
The Fascist Party, the Workers' Party, and the Bolshevik Party, which carved up the Democratic Party's base, are not loose American-style parties in the traditional sense, and these two parties are not so easy to bully once they become bigger.
Wallace then said to Hoover: "Edgar, I don't think you want America to become a fascist state like Germany and Rome."
"I also don't want the United States to become a GCIST country."
Hoover said.
If Hoover had to choose between fascism and GCISM, he would undoubtedly be a fascist.
"No, the United States will not turn into a GCIST state."
Wallace shook his head repeatedly, "If it is the Soviet Union that is now leading Europe, then GCISM is the main threat to the United States."
But the reality was that fascists and Nazis ruled the world, so fascism and National Socialism became the mainstream worldwide.
The democratic freedoms of the United States and the GCISM of the Soviet Union are both outliers in this world.
GCISM, by contrast, was even more intolerant of fascism and Nazis.
So now the GCISTS in the United States are an important force in containing the fascist and Nazi forces.
Only if they exist, and have a certain strength, can they ensure that the Republican Party will remain in power for a long time.
If only the fascists and the Republican Party are left in American politics, then there is no doubt that the United States will become a fascist state.
Edgar, if you don't want to see our American homeland become a country where fascist dictators run rampant, then please fight with me and together we will save America. ” t1706231537:
