As a life mentor, you always need to tell all kinds of stories.
Not stories, but chicken soup.
People in the 21st century have long been immune to chicken soup, but for people in the 1940s, chicken soup was very useful.
Although Truman was definitely the protagonist of chicken soup from a middle school student to a failed businessman and then a politician, even the most inspiring people will be confused, and this is when the spiritual mentor appears to point out the way.
In this regard, George is undoubtedly competent. He knows history and has read too many chicken soups.
Any one of those chicken soups would be a delicacy in this era.
After a chicken soup story, Truman was no longer confused and found his life goal. He became more confident. Of course, his friendship with George became deeper.
Finally, after listening to the chicken soup, Truman took a puff of cigar and said.
"George, you must be curious about why I suddenly asked you to come to Washington."
"It's a bit sudden."
Finally, we are getting to the point. George leaned against the back of the sofa with a smile on his face.
Will the shock body come next?
"In fact, it's not just me who needs your help. There is another person who needs your help now."
"Oh?"
Looking at Truman, George certainly knew who that person was.
Who could get Truman to come forward?
It should be said that Truman took the initiative to come forward to find himself. After all, few people know about his relationship with him.
This person has a lot of face!
The answer is obvious.
Besides, all this was painstakingly planned by himself! Of course, he still needs to cooperate.
"Is it the president?"
Truman was slightly stunned and said in surprise.
"You know?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Truman leaned forward slightly and said.
"Yes, the president needs your help!"
"Recently, because of the "Europe First" policy, the president has had a hard time. Dewey's knives are very heartbreaking. Even John Basilone complained to reporters that the rifle he used might be the M1903 rifle his father used in Europe, and complained that the Marines were raised by stepmothers..."
John Basilone is the "machine gun fairy" who killed more than a thousand people with a machine gun on Guadalcanal. He has just received the Medal of Honor and is participating in war bond collection activities across the country. He is the most popular figure in the United States. His complaints to reporters have made Luo Kuizi's life even more difficult.
For Luo Kuizi, who is determined to win a fourth term, he urgently needs to get rid of his current predicament.
The only question is, what kind of help does he want?
It should be said that what he can pay!
Or what price he is willing to pay!
Truman...is just a middleman!
"So, the president needs to prove to the outside world that he attaches no less importance to the Asian battlefield than to Europe, and... he has done many things personally."
George's tone remained the same. In fact, when he was planning all that, he had also considered how much impact the flapping of the butterfly's wings would have on Luo Quezi.
Will this affect his re-election?
In fact, it doesn't matter.
In history, Roosevelt was elected with a slight advantage, and Dewey... was not just a supporting role.
So Luo Quezi was so nervous, after all, this was his fourth re-election!
Can Americans accept it?
Luo Quezi is anxious now! He is worried that this incident will affect his re-election!
So he must buy himself an insurance!
And where is the insurance?
It's on me!
So he will let Truman find him!
Everything is as planned, and even as a part of the plan, Truman doesn't know that he is just one of the links!
This is the advantage of standing on the shoulders of historical giants!
Truman could not help but freeze, looking at George in surprise.
"You know all this?"
Looking at Truman calmly, George smiled without saying anything, looking very happy.
"Arms!"
Truman said.
"The president hopes you can tell the outside world that the batch of arms was arranged by General Clark, commander of the Italian Fifth Army, under his authorization, to hand over the captured German military supplies to you, and then your shipping company will ship them to China, of course, in the form of personal donations."
After the voice fell, Truman stared at George.
George was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea and took another puff of cigar.
A batch of arms that appeared unexpectedly brought too many changes.
During this period, because of that batch of arms, he became a well-known patriotic tycoon, and of course, he became a fat sheep in the eyes of everyone.
Almost everyone wants to get something from themselves.
Money or profit.
But they never know that he has started to play his cards since he decided to donate that batch of arms back to the country.
In this house of cards, where will the ultimate trump card be used?
It will be used on Luo Quezi!
Luo Quezi could never have dreamed that he had been calculated a few months ago!
Now Luo Quezi has come to the door!
As planned, he needs to use that batch of arms to respond to the doubts of the outside world.
In fact, George doesn't care much about the false reputation brought by that batch of arms. After all, it's just false reputation.
But he needs Roosevelt's help.
Business!
It always needs to be discussed.
"Such an answer will definitely be questioned by the outside world. For example, why are they captured arms? And it must be done in secret."
"This is very simple."
Truman explained.
Truman took out a document from the desk and said again.
"These photos were taken by photographers on the front line."
In the result document, George saw the soldiers standing on the photos cheering!
After that, Truman looked at George.
"What do you think?"
