Hardy Empire 1945

Hardy had just returned to Los Angeles, and the secretary sent a portfolio: Boss, this is the information submitted by the Hong Kong branch of the Global Times.

Hadi is very concerned about the East, so he instructed the Hong Kong Global Times to send the recently published newspapers and information they consider important at regular intervals.

Today's communication is not as developed as in later generations, and the content reported by newspapers varies from place to place. Of course, some information is shared, mostly local content.

Hardy opened his portfolio and looked.

The Chinese Kuomintang and the Communist Party are at war, and the power gap between the two sides is narrowing. It seems that a war is brewing.

Hardy thought for a while, as if the three major battles were about to begin.

MacArthur was in the Far East Japan and signed the Fourth Order of the Allied Command in 1948 to release 19 Japanese war criminals, which was the fifth wave of war criminals released by MacArthur since 1946, including the most criminal Class A war criminals. , soldiers who participated in the war, and wealthy chaebols and arms manufacturers who made a fortune in the war.”

According to the agreement reached at the Moscow Foreign Ministers' Meeting in 1945, the Allied commander only had the right to implement the conditions of Japan's surrender, and the Potsdam Declaration never gave the Allied commander the right to pardon war criminals.

Seeing this report, Hardy's face turned gloomy.

This MacArthur has been accumulating money in Japan to the point of madness, and he dares to let go of anyone who has given enough money.

When you go to Japan in the future, those damn people must be sent to hell.

Turned a few more pages.

Hardy suddenly saw a headline in the newspaper, The Nationalist Government in Beijing, Holds a Cheering Parade for Dewey's Presidential Campaign.

There were also several pictures in the newspaper, a group of people carrying elephant paper tie, and someone holding a photo of Dewey, with a sign behind someone holding a sign, 'Good luck Dewey! ’ Still bilingual in Chinese and English, behind a group of guys in costumes, and people with musical instruments in their hands beating gongs and drums.

The elephant is held up because the U.S. election is also called the donkey-elephant contest, and elephant is the party emblem of the Republican Party.

Hardy was amused when he saw these pictures.

This is not like a parade cheering, more like a funeral.

The newspaper wrote: Dewey has a very high support rate in the United States, and this year's presidential election is very likely to win. With the support of the Republican government Jiang, a grand parade was held in Beijing to cheer for Dewey, and the team bypassed Beijing. several city blocks,

attract a large audience.

Hardy laughed when he saw this report, that Mr. Jiang is really politically savvy.

Or maybe,

This is going to the hospital in a hurry.

In the end it turned out to be self-inflicted.

Hardy felt that the report was necessary for President Johnson to read, and perhaps he would be pleased.

Calling the editor-in-chief of the Global Times, Hardy personally instructed Du: Send this news about China's support for Dewey on the front page of the subsection.

The editor-in-chief looked at it, Mr. Hardy thinks this report is important?

I think it's interesting, Hardy said.

I understand. The editor-in-chief said quickly.

Originally, Hardy wanted to publish the report about MacArthur. Later, he thought that doing so would have no effect at all. The Americans would not care about what happened in the Far East, and would not have any impact on MacArthur at all.

After the editor-in-chief of the Global Times left, Hardy picked up the phone and called Mike. Now Mike has joined Johnson's campaign and is now on a national speech tour with Johnson. At the same time, Johnson also gave him a position as assistant to the president and director of the liaison office. .

Although Mike is young, he still has the status of a New York Representative, so it is more than enough for this position.

Mike was very happy to receive a call from Hardy. He chatted with Hardy for a while, and the two talked about the recent speech tour. There are two more stops to San Francisco. After San Francisco is Los Angeles, which is also the most important two on the West Coast. city.

Hardy said with a smile: You tell President Johnson, I have made arrangements in San Francisco, and when I get to Los Angeles, I will let him feel the enthusiasm of the people of Los Angeles, there will be many guests to help out, and there will be a live broadcast.

I think President Johnson will be very happy to hear the news. Mike smiled.

Mike, there is one thing, tomorrow's Global Times, no matter how busy President Johnson is, we must let him see, especially the report on the East. Hardy said.

Mike knew that this was the purpose of Hardy's call, and immediately agreed, he was a personal assistant, and this matter was not difficult for him.

......

the next day.

Salt Lake City, Utah.

President Johnson's speech is here, and when he wakes up in the morning, his campaign team members have come over, and everyone has breakfast together. Johnson thinks this is a good time to communicate.

The others chatted about today's itinerary while eating. Johnson put a fried tomato in his mouth and said something to the others. Mike walked in with a copy of today's Global Times in his hand.

He has already read the content. Today's sub-page news of the Global Times is about China. It is reported that the current Jiang in China has publicly supported Dewey and held a parade to cheer for Dewey in Beijing.

After reading this news, Mike didn't feel that way. He knew the country in the east and that they were still at war, but it wasn't worthy of Hardy's attention, but he knew Hardy very well. It's not that simple.

Mike sat down at the table and ate his own food. When President Johnson and the others finished speaking, Mike smiled and said, I just read a very interesting piece of news. In China, on the other side of the ocean, their leaders held a meeting. Support Dewey's march and cheer.

After hearing Mike's words, Johnson's face sank slightly, and he frowned slightly: Mike, which newspaper did you read it from.

Global Times.

Mike said and handed over the newspaper.

Johnson put down his knife and fork, and the newspapers looked like he quickly found the report, which showed a group of Chinese people holding elephants and signs, walking on the streets of Oriental buildings.

According to the text report, a reporter from the Global Times was in Beijing and saw an interesting scene. The U.S. is conducting an election, and even the eastern countries are very concerned. Their leaders have expressed their opinions and clearly supported Dewey's victory.

After reading the newspaper, Johnson's face became very ugly.

This is his most caring team. He didn't hide anything, and scolded extremely angrily: This Jiang, and his group of people, are a group of assholes, a group of downright corrupt elements.

We used to give them billions of dollars, you know what he did, he embezzled $750 million of that, we figured that out long ago, they stole it, invested it in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and even bought it in New York real estate.

They are a bunch of incompetent guys. They are all rotten from top to bottom. I once asked Marshall to mediate, but he refused. Stilwell once told Marshall that those people are doomed to fail.

After I became president, they still kept asking for money, equipment and assistance, and even asked me to send millions of people to China to help him destroy his so-called enemies. I feel like they are hopeless.

Johnson glanced at the newspaper again, and the words 'Good luck Dewey' in the photo made him moody, From now on, he will never think about getting a bullet of aid from the United States, and he will never think about getting political help, I will never send millions of troops to help him, and I will never waste American lives saving him.

...As for Jiang and his army, these bastards should be thrown into prison.

After finishing speaking, Johnson threw the newspaper aside, continued to eat, and chatted with his aides about the next campaign.

In the face of humiliation, all he has to do is let the enemy down.

That's right,

Johnson believed that Jiang's move was a humiliation to him.

He also helped Jiang, and he is now the president of the United States. As a qualified statesman and leader of a country, he thinks that person's behavior is ridiculous and stupid.

Only a ghost can win for such a person.

He had thought about supporting Jiang before, but now there is no such idea at all, and someone Jiang still doesn't know, because of his move, Johnson has completely abandoned him.

Salt Lake City speaking event.

About five or six thousand people came.

Johnson came to the stage to give a speech without a manuscript in his hand. He is now more and more fond of unscripted speeches, and after so many speeches, he is more and more comfortable.

The people who supported him in the square cheered from time to time.

Mike called Hardy, He's already read the paper, at breakfast.

Did you say anything?

My face was very ugly, and I yelled at that person, saying that they were corrupt, that they had embezzled the aid money, that they were incompetent, that failure was doomed, and that they would never give him any assistance from now on, nor Will help him politically, Mike said.

Hardy had a smile on his face.

He felt Johnson made the right choice.

Not long after Hardy hung up the phone, Henry came over, Boss, you asked us to monitor Dewey before, and we got some information.

What information?

A group of Chinese people visited Dewey, and the leader was called 'Song Ziwen'. Song Ziwen and Dewey chatted for an afternoon. We don't know what they said. They chatted on the golf course, but we secretly took some photos of their meeting. .

The three words of Song Ziwen, Henry pronounced them in transliteration, but Hardy still understood, the information of Song Ziwen flashed in his mind, Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen's four major families, Song Ziwen is the eldest brother of Song Ailing and Song Qingling, and Song Meiling's brother, too. Will someone's uncle.

He used to be the Minister of Finance of the National Government and controlled the financial power. Later, he was stationed in the United States for a long time, seeking assistance from the United States.

But shortly after that 'Song Ziwen' left, there was an extra $5 million in Dewey's secret campaign finance account.

We used a lot of energy to finally find out that the money came from an account in Brazil. We analyzed that the money should have been given by those Chinese people.

Campaign funds are divided into public and secret, which are also legal, but the United States also has express regulations that cannot accept political donations from foreigners.

And it's still such a large amount.

If no one checks, maybe that's the case. After all, it's a secret fund account, and it's all spent. But now that Hadi knows about it, this matter is different.

$5 million is not a small sum of money to ask someone for help every day. In order to make Dewey support himself after winning, it is also a bloody cost.

As for where the money came from.

Ha ha,

It is the part of the money aided by the United States that they secretly embezzled.

This is true to the old saying,

Take it from rice, use it for rice.

Next, Hardy considers how to use this thing.

The media reported this?

Doing so can indeed deal a certain blow to Dewey. After all, the law expressly prohibits the receipt of funds from other countries. For example, if Lao Te received money from the boss of the goose during the election, it is not as simple as not being allowed to participate in the election.

However, on this matter, Henry and the others did not have sufficient information. They could only say that through the existing clues, it was inferred that the money was given to someone, but there was no evidence.

This leaves room for Dewey.

Hardy thinks,

In fact, this matter can be put to good use, if done well, it can give Dewey a heavy blow.

Ha ha.

Looking for someone to do my casino business.

Don't blame me for messing with you.
