On this day, a guest came to the airport.
It was none other than Harry. As the company's lobbyist in Washington, he was not only competent, but also did a lot of work beyond his scope. He provided a lot of help to George and even helped the company find a lot of talents. It was not until the establishment of the headhunting company that things got a little easier.
"George, you asked me to come here, not to see your plane, right?"
Harry asked directly.
"Of course not, let's go in and talk."
After inviting Harry into the house, George walked to the wine cabinet and asked.
"What did you drink?"
"Whiskey, with ice."
After pouring two glasses of whiskey for the two and taking a sip, George asked.
"Do you know Dewey?"
"Dewey?"
Harry, who had not yet put down his glass, was surprised with his hand hanging in the air.
"George, you don't want to donate to him, do you? Dewey, he can't win the election."
Thomas Dewey, the governor of New York, is also Roosevelt's opponent. Although he has a high voice, many people are not optimistic about him.
"The captain of the ship does not change when it reaches the middle. This is the most basic principle, George."
Before Harry finished speaking, George shook his head and said.
"I don't want to support him. Well, I need him!"
After taking a sip of wine, George said.
"I need him to help me do something. It should be said that only he can help me do these things."
"What?"
Harry looked at George in confusion.
"You need Dewey to help you do something? Why should he help you?"
With a slight smile, George leaned back against the back of the sofa, and then said slowly.
"For his campaign."
Harry frowned slightly, his eyes full of doubts.
"Right now, he is the only one who can cause trouble for Roosevelt!"
Ah!
If he was just confused before, now Harry was completely confused.
What is he talking about?
Want to cause trouble for the president?
"To cause trouble for the president, my God, you, you..."
Suddenly, Harry stopped talking. Thanks to the contact over the past six months, he knew that the young man in front of him was a very smart guy. He would never become a troublemaker for no reason.
He must have other intentions!
After making this judgment in his heart, Harry took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and said.
"George, your purpose is probably not to cause trouble, but to solve trouble! Am I right?"
Dealing with smart people is so easy. You don't need too much explanation, and the other party will understand your intention.
George nodded and said.
"You know, if you want others to do something for you, first... make them owe you!"
"And you want the president to owe you, right?"
Harry shook the glass in his hand, and the ice cubes in the glass turned and collided with the glass in the amber whiskey.
"Few people can do this. After all, the positions are different."
Although he said so, Harry still said with expectation.
"Unless you have any good ideas."
"Good ideas always need some suitable ammunition. You know, the United States joined the world war because of the "Pearl Harbor" incident, and the fundamental reason why Americans joined the war was for revenge! To avenge the Japanese, but in the past two years, the United States has used most of its resources in Europe..."
Having said this, George paused, smiled, and then continued.
"On the surface, the Navy and the Marine Corps have invested a lot of manpower in the Pacific, but in fact, the Marine Corps is a group of guys raised by stepmothers. When they used the rifles that their fathers used to fight the Germans in World War I to fight the Japanese devils, almost all the resources of the United States were provided to the British and Russians."
George reached out to take a thick envelope on the table.
"Europe first?"
Harry interrupted.
"You want to use Roosevelt's "Europe first" policy to attack him?"
"Yes."
"But you know, Dewey has already done so."
"It's not enough, he needs some extra assists."
What?
Harry looked at George in confusion.
"In order to fight the Germans, the White House gave the British $10 billion in supplies and the Russians $3 billion in supplies last year. Do you know how much was given to China? There are more than one million Japanese troops tied up there. Didn't the president say last year that if there was no resistance from the Chinese, more than one million Japanese troops would have fought all the way to the United States along the Pacific Ocean, occupied Hawaii, and even the entire West Coast!"
Thanks to the whirlwind caused by the first lady's visit to the United States last year, Harry and all Americans know that China is important.
"I know that China is the main force to resist the Japanese."
"But last year, China only received $49 million in supplies."
"What? How could it be so little?"
"And this is only the amount shipped to India. In fact, most of the supplies were withheld by the chief of staff sent by the Americans. From 1942 to now, for two years, only 1,000 rifles were actually shipped to China. The remaining 80,000 rifles were detained in India under various excuses and refused to be shipped to China!"
When mentioning this matter, George was no longer dissatisfied with the so-called ally of the United States, but only angry!
During the most critical period of the War of Resistance, the United States not only failed to supply the urgently needed materials in China, but even threatened the Chinese with arms and demanded that the Chinese hand over the command of the army to the US military - just like the Koreans knelt down and handed over the military command to the Americans in exchange for US aid, and handed it over for half a century!
Anyone who did this and handed over the command of the army would be no different from a running dog. Even the Japanese did not have such a bold clause when they proposed the Twenty-One Demands!
As a country, who the hell can kneel down and lick like South Korea, but it is understandable, after all, they have been grandsons for thousands of years.
South Korea can kneel down and hand over the command of its own army. But China cannot. This has nothing to do with anything else, it is the dignity of the country and the nation.
After this request was rejected, the chief of staff faithfully implemented Marshall's policy - one point for anti-Japanese, two points for coping, and seven points for making trouble. At the same time, he threatened China with materials and forced China to hand over the military command to the US military again and again.
Last year, the first lady's visit to the United States was actually to complain, but it was meaningless because they didn't care at all. All they needed was for China to hold back the Japanese army. As for how much blood was shed, what did the United States have to do with it?
The Hump Airlift in history was said to be to support China's war of resistance. But more than 95% of the materials exported to China were supplied to the US troops stationed in China, not China.
They would even rather use precious transportation capacity to transport luncheon meat that American soldiers didn't want to eat than to transport more bullets to China.
The result was that the luncheon meat was sold on the black market by the Americans. And the Chinese soldiers didn't have enough bullets! This is the so-called ally!
The large-scale export of American aid weapons and ammunition to China was from 1945, after the opening of the Sino-Indian Highway, until July 1946, but at that time... the war of resistance was basically over.
How many more people died in China because of the Americans' ambition to control China?
Millions of soldiers and millions of civilians died because of the Americans' ulterior motives!
How could this not be angry!
But George's purpose was not just to vent his anger!
He needed to create a big trouble for Roosevelt, and then fish in troubled waters to profit from it, and these were just ammunition provided to Dewey, and were the bayonets that stabbed Roosevelt in the back!
Just like Roosevelt stabbed China in the back, give that guy a hard blow!
