Chapter 1068 American Bolsheviks
On July 20, 1944, as the center of the bastion of democracy, freedom and progress in the world, Washington, the capital of the United States of America, welcomed the visit of Mussolini, the founder of international fascism and the great leader of the Roman State Fascist Party, with the highest standards.
The grand and spectacular Union Station in Washington, D.C., with its ancient Roman architectural features, has become a sea of fascist flags inside and outside. Under the two porticoes of the main entrance of the station, which is shaped like the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine, the "bundle" flag symbolizing fascism and the American Stars and Stripes are hung side by side.
In the majestic waiting hall, the eagle of the Roman Empire, the "bundle" flag of the National Fascist Party, and the Stars and Stripes of the United States were hung from high places.
American soldiers in uniforms, armed with polished M1 rifles, stood guard every five steps and one sentry at ten steps, from the train platform to the square outside the train station, appearing to be heavily guarded.
The square was already crowded with welcoming crowds, most of whom were older men wearing World War I-style U.S. military uniforms. They are all World War I veterans organized by the American Veterans of Foreign Wars - the United States was an ally of Italy in World War I, and Mussolini himself also participated in World War I. It is obvious that the World War I veterans organized to welcome Mussolini It was to maximize the goodwill towards Rome and Caesar of the Roman Empire.
On a platform at Union Station in Washington, a group of the most powerful people in the United States had gathered. Including the current president, important cabinet ministers and members of Congress, the four candidates participating in the 1944 presidential election include Dewey representing the Republican Party, Truman representing the Democratic Party, Lindbergh representing the Fascist Party, and William Bolsheviks representing the American Bolshevik Party. Foster!
The American National Fascist Party is not the only non-mainstream political force in the United States that has benefited from the failure of the United States in its foreign wars. The American Bolshevik Party, which adheres to the anti-Japanese and anti-Nazi line and opposes all forms of capitulationism, also has many supporters. Therefore, the American Bolshevik Party, which historically became Roosevelt's follower, now not only clearly opposes all peace movements, but also launched their own presidential candidate.
According to the latest opinion polls, the presidential candidate of the American Bolshevik Party, William Foster, has more than 15% support among American voters, which is on par with the American National Fascist Party's candidate, Lindbergh.
Moreover, in several states in the midwestern United States that had suffered from the scourge of Japanese bacterial weapons and in southern states where black people were concentrated, the support for the Bolshevik Party in the United States was even higher!
Of course, the support of the American National Fascist Party is also very high in those areas. In the Midwest, people supported the National Fascist Party because of its anti-European line.
In the South, whites supported the National Fascist Party because of its racial lines—while blacks in the South had the right to vote (not every black adult citizen had the right to vote in the 1940s, and southern states in the United States set up The threshold of voting rights, which caused some black people to lose their voting rights) became supporters of the Bolshevik Party because they were afraid that the fascist party would come to power.
However, the support of the mainstream Republicans and Democrats in those areas is declining day by day.
Therefore, in the 1944 U.S. election, both the Bolshevik Party and the National Fascist Party were likely to achieve a historic breakthrough—obtaining at least one seat in the House of Representatives or winning the electoral vote of a state!
There is no doubt that after this world war ends, the political landscape of the United States will undergo tremendous changes!
Both the Bolshevik Party and the National Fascist Party will rise strongly, while the traditional democratic and Republican parties will inevitably decline!
Sitting in his wheelchair, looking at the high-spirited Lindbergh and Foster, President Roosevelt still felt a little sad.
The current United States of America is really similar to the German Empire in 1917!
If the war cannot have a decent ending, I am afraid that the United States in the future will be like the chaotic Weimar Republic. I just don’t know whether the United States will become an American version of the Third Reich or an American version of the Soviet Union.
A siren blew, interrupting President Roosevelt's thoughts. A locomotive pulled a dozen cars into Union Station in Washington.
This was the train that Mussolini took while visiting the United States. As the train slowly approached the platform, the U.S. Navy military band in formal attire played the impassioned tune of "Song of Italian Fascism."
In the sound of fascist songs, Roman Caesar, still wearing a suit and with an exaggerated smile on his face, walked down with Marquis Ciano, US Vice President Wallace and a large number of entourages. Seeing Roosevelt in the wheelchair, Mussolini laughed and hurried forward, as if he were seeing an old friend he had not seen for many years.
"Mr. President," Mussolini stretched out his very strong hand, firmly grasped Roosevelt's weak right hand, and said to him in friendly and fluent English, "ever since the unfortunate war broke out, I have not wanted to restore the world's order. Peace. Now, my dream for many years is finally coming true, which is so happy. I think you must be feeling the same as me, feeling very happy about the eternal peace that will come. "
Roosevelt was dumbfounded when he heard Mussolini's words, "Your Majesty Caesar, do you think we in the United States can be like the Roman Empire and usher in peace as a victor?"
Mussolini showed a surprised expression: "Isn't the United States the winner? Aren't American troops stationed in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, Trinidad, Bahamas, and other lands that originally belonged to the British Empire?"
Roosevelt smiled bitterly, he knew that Mussolini was right! The United States is indeed the winner now, even if it pays a certain amount of reparations - or even if it doesn't pay reparations, even if it spits out Australia and New Zealand, the United States is still the winner.
Because through this world war, the United States has established its absolute dominance in North America. Before World War II, the US military could not be stationed on Canadian soil for a long time.
And now, as long as the United States is willing to promote it, a North American Economic Community dominated by the United States, including the United States, Canada, Mexico and other Central American and Caribbean countries, can also appear in the near future.
As for South America...now it can only be said that Germany has inherited Britain's power there, and there is no question of "taking" South America from the United States. Because the United States has no colonies in South America, there is only "economic colonization", which is actually economic interests. Although many South American politicians have the dominance of the United States behind them, this domination is not absolute. Although the influence of the United States in South America will weaken in the future, Germany cannot completely dominate South America. At most, the United States and Germany will compete in South America.
Therefore, in the peace plan proposed by Mussolini, the United States is indeed the winner!
But... Wall Street does not agree with such a victory.
Thinking of this, Roosevelt turned his attention to William Foster, the presidential candidate of the American Bolshevik Party, who was not far from him!
The Bolshevik Party should have been the enemy of Wall Street, but Roosevelt received a report that the American Bolshevik Party had received huge donations from some Wall Street tycoons in recent months! And sufficient political funds are also one of the reasons why the influence of the American Bolshevik Party has expanded rapidly.
At the same time, the American Bolshevik Party now follows the Soviet Union in abandoning the line of opposing privatization, so that the differences between them and Wall Street can be covered up-after the Soviet Union established the Anti-Japanese National United Front, the Soviet Bolshevik Party announced the restoration of the new economic line, realizing land privatization east of the Ural Mountains, and allowing private and foreign capital to invest in industry and commerce. The Soviet Bolshevik Party's brother parties naturally followed suit and abandoned their previous line of opposing privatization, and the American Bolshevik Party was no exception.
However, Roosevelt knew that Wall Street provided funding to the American Bolshevik Party not because of their "new economic line", but because of the anti-Nazism united front they proposed... or in other words, the emergence of this "united front" was exactly what Wall Street wanted.
Now Wall Street needs a tool that can fight against the American National Fascist Party and can also be used to crack down on the compromisers in the Democratic and Republican parties. The American Bolshevik Party just meets the needs of those people...
Thinking of this, President Roosevelt smiled at Mussolini, who was talking to him about the blueprint of a beautiful multipolar world in the future, and pointed to the Bolshevik Party presidential candidate standing expressionlessly beside him and said: "Mr. Caesar, let me introduce you to a new friend. He may be the next president of the United States of America."
The next president of the United States? Mussolini thought to himself, is it Comrade Lindbergh? If he is the president of the United States, it will be easy.
"Mr. Caesar, this is Mr. William Foster, the chairman of the Bolshevik Party of the United States and the presidential candidate supported by the Bolshevik Party of the United States."
Mussolini was stunned. What? The presidential candidate of the Bolshevik Party of the United States? Is it possible for him to be elected president?
A man who looked a little thin, had a pointed nose, and wore a rough old suit. He looked like an unsuccessful third-rate politician. He was quickly led to Mussolini by Colonel Cotton, the fat naval adjutant of the US President.
"Mr. Caesar, this is Mr. William Foster," Roosevelt said to Mussolini with a smile, "He will compete with Mr. Dewey, Mr. Truman and Mr. Lindbergh for the position of the next US President. Since my term is about to end, the president who can lead the United States and Europe to achieve peace that is beneficial to both sides will be born among these four."
