Chapter 669 The End of an Era

“The loss of the Philippines and Central America caused hundreds of thousands of Americans to starve to death in the economic crisis, millions of Americans to go bankrupt, and tens of billions of dollars to evaporate in an instant. Why can we allow such a person to continue to sit in the position of president? "

1. When the world situation was calm, a large number of newspapers in the United States suddenly began to report on President Coolidge's "contribution" since he took office, and they all angrily denounced President Coolidge as a sinner of the United States, and ranked President Coolidge as the three worst presidents in the United States. head.

The current United States is completely different from the trend of history. President Coolidge, who gained a good reputation in history, is now being scolded by all Americans. The Coolidge era is also rated as the worst era since the founding of the United States.

Although President Coolidge has announced his withdrawal from the next presidential election in time, the anger of Americans is not so easy to quell.

On January 18, the U.S. Congress formally impeached President Coolidge on the grounds that the wrong choices made by Coolidge since his rule had caused harm to the United States.

According to subsequent investigations, the negotiation was initiated by the Democratic Party. The cause was President Coolidge's weakness during Roosevelt's assassination, which made the Democratic Party very dissatisfied with President Coolidge's Republican Party.

The Republican Party has nothing to do with what the Democrats say. After all, the dissatisfaction of the American people is real, and this cannot be changed by merely forging data.

However, the Republicans clearly have a better candidate. The government's Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Clark Hoover, had a huge amount of support for American refugees and civilians during World War I. The American people had a huge favor with him, which also made Hoover very popular in the United States.

Compared to a president like Coolidge whose reputation was already in tatters, the Republican Party preferred a candidate like Hoover.

So the question is, how can Hoover become the new president?

We are now more than two years away from the U.S. presidential election, and there is obviously no time.

Let alone nearly two and a half years, the American people cannot afford to wait even for half a year, because the economic crisis will cause huge damage in half a year, which may lead to more deaths and cause greater damage to the U.S. economy. Loss.

After all, the Coolidge administration's economic policies were generally laissez-faire, which was why the United States was slow to respond after the stock market crisis broke out.

What makes Americans angry is not the heavy losses suffered by the United States during the economic crisis, but the fact that the U.S. government has done almost nothing during the economic crisis.

Like the United Kingdom and European countries, although their losses in the economic crisis have been quite serious, at least the governments of European countries have done something.

Especially in the UK, although the reputation of transferring crises may not sound good, it has at least effectively improved the living conditions of some British people, so that the impact of the economic crisis will not be too great.

Looking at the United States, what did President Coolidge do during the economic crisis?

Not only did the United States fail to formulate relevant bailout policies, but it allowed the stock market and economy to go laissez-faire, leading to the bankruptcy of tens of thousands of companies and banks and bringing the U.S. economy into collapse.

The most straightforward point is that before the economic crisis, the annual income of the American people was close to US$700.

But after the economic crisis broke out, the per capita annual income of the American people plummeted to less than $200.

Currently, tens of millions of unemployed people in the United States need a large amount of food assistance every day, which also causes births and deaths in places where the government cannot provide assistance.

The First World War did not cause too many casualties in the United States. Instead, the economic crisis caused the United States to suffer hundreds of thousands of deaths. This is also what makes Americans angry.

1. A review of President Coolidge’s charges was held in the U.S. Congress.

More than half of the delegates agreed with President Coolidge's charges, which also meant that the man who once became president as vice president was bidding farewell to his political career.

1. The U.S. Congress removed President Coolidge from office in accordance with the law, and Vice President Charles Gates Dawes automatically succeeded Coolidge as the new President of the United States.

But it is worth mentioning that the new president, who famously proposed the Dawes Plan in history, did not hold any public office before becoming vice president.

More importantly, he is not a member of the two major political parties in the United States, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, which also makes the identity of the new President Charles somewhat embarrassing.

This man who was promoted from a wealthy businessman to vice president and finally became president by virtue of the law made a bold decision after thinking for a long time, that is, voluntarily giving up the position of president.

Of course, Hoover had been appointed Vice President long before President Charles gave up his position.

This Republican who is popular with the American people is the new president that the Republican Party wants to elect, and President Charles undoubtedly understands this.

Although President Charles is also a wealthy businessman, his size is obviously not comparable to that of the Republicans and Democrats, nor can he compare to the huge financial groups behind the support of the two major parties.

Rather than overestimating one's own capabilities and competing with these two major parties, it is better to quit quickly and create a good reputation for oneself, and also be able to make good friends with these two major parties.

The resignation of President Charles has caused the United States to experience multiple rounds of presidential rotations in a short period of time, but the American people have confidence in this.

Because the person who succeeded President Charles immediately after them was the former Secretary of Commerce and current Vice President Hoover, whom they had a good impression of and supported very much.

Regardless of President Hoover's reputation in history, in the United States today, Hoover is regarded as the savior of the United States. Americans generally believe that President Hoover can lead them out of the economic crisis.

After all, from the perspective of Americans, President Hoover has demonstrated his ability during his tenure as WFP and Secretary of Commerce. He not only properly relieved refugees from the war, but also built the economy, which is very suitable for the United States under the current economic crisis.

The economic crisis in the United States is a shortage of food and money. Isn't this exactly the task of the WFP and the Department of Commerce?

In short, despite such complicated events and disputes, Hoover still successfully became the president of the United States and successfully controlled this huge country.

Hoover has also received strong support from the Republican Party, which has placed its hope on Hoover to solve the economic crisis and win the next presidential election and mid-term elections, creating a leading advantage for the Republican Party.

The continuous farce in the United States has naturally spread to the ears of countries around the world. To be honest, when Vice President Charles took over the presidency, Arthur was more concerned.

After all, Charles Dawes still had some abilities. His abilities were at least much better than President Coolidge.

But after hearing that President Charles resigned on his own initiative and that the new Vice President Hoover successfully succeeded Charles as President of the United States, Arthur felt relieved instantly.

No matter how good Hoover's reputation is in the United States, it cannot conceal the fact that President Hoover is incompetent.

This ruler, who has been called the incompetent president and the worst president in history, has a bad reputation in history because Americans have high expectations for him, coupled with his incompetent measures during the economic crisis.

But the bad reputation in this world was almost all borne by President Coolidge, and the name of the Hoover bag was also changed to Coolidge bag, which is enough to show the American people's hatred of President Coolidge.

If the American people knew that the capabilities they expected from President Hoover were not as good as Coolidge's, I'm afraid the Americans' expressions would be very exciting.

In short, Arthur was relatively relieved that Hoover would become the President of the United States. This means that the United States during Hoover's term will remain in chaos and unlikely to improve much.

Arthur was no exception to Hoover's becoming the President of the United States. After all, who can become the President of the United States, is it easy?

The people who can securely sit on the presidential throne are basically talkative people supported by the two major parties and major plutocrats.

Except for President Coolidge, whose reputation was too bad and was abandoned early, other presidents are unlikely to be defeated during their own terms.

For a person like Charles, even if the position of president falls to him, he will worry about whether he can hold on to this position.

After all, it is not easy to be the President of the United States. If certain financial groups are offended, the President of the United States may be assassinated the next day.

In a country that does not prohibit firearms, the president is constantly being assassinated, and the order in this country can be imagined.

However, it is impossible to ban firearms in the United States for various reasons. This also means that the consortium has various ways to check and balance the president, making the president his own spokesman rather than the ruler of the country.

However, out of courtesy, European countries still expressed congratulations to the United States and congratulated President Hoover on becoming the new president of the United States.

Fortunately, when President Charles succeeded President Coolidge, congratulatory messages from various countries were being prepared.

Otherwise, it would be a bit strange and funny to congratulate two presidents within a few days.

Although I understand that there is a high probability that President Hoover will continue to do nothing as he did in history. After a few years of inaction, he will be rated as the worst president by angry Americans.

But there is an exception to everything. No one knows what Hoover will do after becoming president early, so it is necessary to pay some attention to him.

Arthur specifically ordered some intelligence officers of the Royal Security Intelligence Service in the United States to pay close attention to President Hoover's actions, and to keep statistics and report on the U.S. government's actions during the economic crisis.

If the United States stays in the economic crisis for one more day, the losses to the U.S. economy will be in the millions.

The continuous experience of the two extremely bad presidents of Coolidge and Hoover in the United States will inevitably make the American people dissatisfied with the government and exacerbate domestic rifts in the United States.

In fact, to be honest, the United States has solved it very well now. As long as Britain and Australasia jointly send troops, the defeat of the United States will be a matter of time.

Because the industries and economies that the United States is now proud of have all entered a stage of collapse, and its finances are also very tight.

Under such circumstances, even if the United States fights on its own territory, it will be very difficult to win a war of attrition with the United Kingdom and Australasia.

Coupled with the various domestic conflicts in the United States, it is easy for the United States to collapse and split into several countries.

But the problem is that the UK now clearly does not want to start a war. After all, Britain has suffered huge losses in the economic crisis. If it provokes another war with the United States, Britain may not necessarily gain many benefits, but losses must be inevitable.

However, if there is a good opportunity, the British will not miss the opportunity to significantly weaken the United States.

With this idea in mind, Arthur is also making intensive preparations for Australasia's armaments.

1In a secret naval base in northern Sydney.

The atmosphere here is obviously different from the outside world. Not only is everything near the port blocked, but no one is allowed to get close.

If you zoom into the port, you can see that a grand ceremony is being held here, a ceremony about the launching of two aircraft carriers.

In this secret military port, two huge sea beasts are lying quietly in the port, with the flags of the kingdom and navy hanging on them, which can already prove that these two huge sea beasts belong to them.

Large numbers of naval officers and soldiers are constantly boarding these two behemoths. Many soldiers looked at the two aircraft carriers with their heads held high as they boarded the ship, with pride and pride in their eyes.

On the pier not far away, a military band was playing the songs of the Royal Australasian Navy.

Defense Secretary Thomas took the Navy Commander-in-Chief to bid farewell to Arthur, boarded the two giant ships, and waved to Arthur from a high place.

Even before the sailors boarded the ship, Arthur had already delivered a speech to thousands of sailors, encouraging their contributions and praising the style of the navy.

As the perspective zoomed out, the full view of the two sea behemoths was revealed. These two are the latest two types of aircraft carriers in Australasia. The larger one on the left is the Hercules-class aircraft carrier, named Hercules; the smaller one on the right is the Hurricane-class aircraft carrier, named Tornado. .

Seeing the soldiers proudly boarding the warship, Arthur nodded, very satisfied with the gradual expansion of the navy's scale.

Coupled with these two powerful aircraft carriers, Australasia's naval comprehensive combat effectiveness can definitely rank among the top three in the world.

Although the number of main warships is not as good as that of some major powers, if a war really breaks out, it can even go head-to-head with the navies of other countries except the United Kingdom.

Of course, the specific performance depends on the combat effectiveness of the aircraft equipped on the aircraft carrier. If the aircraft can effectively deal with enemy battleships, then Australasia's naval combat effectiveness can be improved to another level.

The two aircraft carriers are the product of the last naval expansion plan and have been built for nearly two years.

More than a year to build two aircraft carriers is still too slow, but after all, they are the latest aircraft carriers, so it is normal for them to take a little longer.

With the experience gained from building these two aircraft carriers, the navy will expand at a faster pace.

When the naval expansion plan is completed, it will be time for the Australasian Navy to travel around the world.
