Chapter 1254 The Darkening of America 1

On the morning of June 18, 1945, a copy of the New York Times was placed on Hersman's desk. On the front page of this newspaper, there was a bold and italicized headline:

President Truman suspected of collusion with Germany;

The Rockefeller family was involved, and a radio station colluding with Germany was found in Rockefeller Center;

The FBI has opened an investigation;

The United States is experiencing a political crisis, and the president is facing impeachment.

Below the headline, the ins and outs of the "Rockefeller Center Incident" learned by the New York Times reporter were also published. Including the fire in the Associated Press office, the arson investigation by the New York City Police Department, the wrong search warrant and the wrong search, and the collusion crime that happened to be discovered.

In short, after a huge "coincidence" of several events with a probability of less than 1% occurred, the scandal of President Truman's collusion with Germany, which had been spreading in the United States, has now been fully confirmed. The US President is a bad guy who colluded with Germany!

Moreover, under huge public pressure, FBI Director Hoover had to announce an investigation into the US President's collusion with Germany. In fact, there is no need to check. Just based on the evidence exposed now, President Truman can't wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Atlantic Ocean.

However, Imperial Marshal Hersman, who was reading the newspaper and sipping coffee, was not surprised at all.

Hersman, who had seen too many political turmoil, knew that the exposure of Truman's Tongde incident was certainly not caused by a series of coincidences, but a reaction to the vicious and intense political struggle within the United States.

The vicious political struggle within the United States is the inevitable consequence of the defeat in the world war - in the last world war, the defeated Tsarist Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire all had extreme political struggles such as revolution and civil war.

Now the United States is just making a fuss about the Tongde incident, and perhaps impeaching the unlucky scapegoat president, which is surprisingly mild.

Natalie Lesinskaya then opened the door of Hersman's office: "Ludwig, the Chancellery is calling. Mr. Hitler wants to talk to you in 5 minutes."

"Oh," Hersman smiled: "It must be about the US President's Tongde?"

"That's not what he said," Natalie replied.

"Okay," Hersman nodded, "Tell the Chancellery that I'm in the office, I'll call the Chancellor right away."

"Okay."

After Natalie turned and left, Hersman immediately called Hitler's Chancellery office, and soon Adolf Hitler's somewhat annoyed voice came from the receiver: "Ludwig, do you know about Truman's contact with Germany?"

"Yes, I've read the New York Times and know the whole story." Hersman said, "The Americans are obviously in big trouble."

"Americans? Ludwig, do you think the trouble is America's, not ours?"

Hersman said in a sarcastic tone: "We don't have any problems here... I don't think anyone will make trouble for you because you keep in touch with Truman?"

"If someone makes trouble for me I'm not afraid!" Hitler said, "I'm talking about money... If the US Congress cannot pass the European Community-US Peace Treaty in time, we won't get any money."

"Then let's drop the atomic bomb!" Hersman said indifferently, "The plutonium-239 we have now can be used to fill five atomic bombs."

The several plutonium production reactors controlled by the U Engineering Committee were not idle. In early 1945, a large number of nuclear fuel rods containing neptunium-239 were produced (the plutonium production reactor produced uranium fuel rods containing neptunium-239, which formed plutonium-239 after a beta decay, so it must be placed in water for a period of time before further refinement). By mid-June, part of this batch of fuel rods had been refined and extracted, and about 25 kilograms of plutonium-239 were obtained.

According to the latest atomic bomb design plan, these plutonium-239 can be used to make three atomic bombs with an explosive equivalent of 20,000 tons of explosives. One of them is prepared for nuclear testing, and the remaining two can be used for war preparations.

"Ludwig, are you serious?" Adolf Hitler asked, "Are you really going to drop another atomic bomb?"

"If the Americans don't pay, then drop it. But... I don't think that will happen."

"Will it not?"

"Of course not," Hersman said, "The focus of the political struggle in the United States now should be the mid-term elections in 1946, not continuing to fight with us... I think the people who created the Truman-Tunde incident just wanted to delay the peace process and the process of repealing the National Labor Relations Act. In order to create greater controversy in the United States, so that voters will continue to pay attention to the peace process and labor bills during the 1946 mid-term elections.

In this way, both the Democratic Party and the Fascist Party will become victims, and the Labor Party and the Bolshevik Party will become the winners of the 1946 election. In fact, the events happening in the United States now have nothing to do with us. The 800 billion European marks in compensation will definitely be obtained, because we have atomic bombs! And the third atomic bomb explosion test will be carried out soon."

Yes, there are atomic bombs! A lot of atomic bombs!

Hersman had already made plans to conduct the third nuclear test in the Algerian desert in North Africa a week later, detonating a plutonium bomb with a reduced charge - reducing the plutonium-239 charge does not mean reducing the explosion of the atomic bomb. power. Because the current atomic bomb design is not perfect and the shell is not strong enough (the shell is related to the raw materials), it is impossible for the plutonium-239 charge to fully react. With a more reasonable design and a better shell, a more powerful atomic bomb can be produced with less plutonium-239 charge.

However, new designs need to be verified through experiments, which is why Germany and several nuclear powers in history have tested atomic bombs many times. The atomic bomb test a week later also had another purpose, which was to warn the United States!

"So what do you think Truman can do to resolve the current crisis?" Hitler asked on the other side of the phone line. The German Chancellor did not have a deep understanding of American politics and was not sure what Truman could do to deal with it.

"He can resign." Hersman had long known the only trick available to Truman. “If he remains on stage, then someone can continue to hype Tundegate to delay the time for Congress to vote on the European Community-US Peace Treaty...Members who oppose the treaty can ask to first find out whether it is because of President Tunde’s betrayal. Once Truman resigns, congressional investigations cannot continue, so he can use the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as his umbrella to refuse to attend hearings. "

The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives citizens the right not to incriminate themselves. Once Truman resigned, he had no obligation to testify before Congress and could use the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to protect himself. And Joseph Rockefeller Jr. also had no public office, so he could naturally use the "Fifth Amendment" to protect himself.

Then there will be no way for Congress to investigate through hearings, and it will have to let the FBI investigate slowly. And Director Hoover of the FBI is not mentally retarded. He must have searched and searched and found nothing - so what if he did?

Does Congress really dare to mess up the European Community-United States Peace Treaty? How could Hoover dare to conduct such an investigation that would bring down Congress and the U.S. government?

Hitler thought for a while and asked: "Does this mean that our old friend Mr. Kennedy will become president?"

Hessman smiled: "I think this is a high probability event."

…

Joseph Kennedy once thought he might become president--if Truman was killed by an atomic bomb or impeached for "treason." However, he never expected that Truman would become the target of public criticism before the peace negotiations were completely concluded and the peace treaty had not yet been passed by Congress, to the point where he could no longer retain the presidential throne.

However, even when Truman became the target of national public criticism and questioning, Kennedy still did not want the president to resign. Because as soon as Truman steps down, he will have to bear the reputation of being a traitor.

"Mr. President..." After learning that the president was preparing to resign, Kennedy immediately went to the White House from his residence in Washington. After seeing a livid-looking Truman in the Oval Office, Kennedy also wanted to persuade the president not to give up his position. But Truman waved his hand to stop him.

"Joseph," Truman said in a low tone, "three hours ago, the Germans successfully tested another atomic bomb in the Algerian desert."

"President, the Germans should not..."

Truman waved his hand: "Regardless of whether they will drop atomic bombs again, the peace talks should not be delayed any longer. The peace treaty we have obtained is still acceptable. If we delay it any longer, the situation will only get worse."

"President, but I was also involved in Tunde," Kennedy said with a frown. "Wallace probably has a handle on the situation."

Both Truman and Kennedy knew that Wallace was behind it, but they did not know that Hoover was also involved.

"He will never drive you out of office again." Truman shook his head. "He jumped out to expose me to plan the 1946 midterm elections, not to make trouble with the entire American political class. If he continues to pester you, then you will Let Hoover come forward and declare that you have no moral integrity."

"But this is interference with judicial independence..."

Truman nodded and said: "Actually, I have already intervened once, but that guy didn't help me deal with Wallace. But he will definitely help you, because if he doesn't take action, the Republicans will come to take over this mess. If he is the public enemy of both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, can the FBI director continue to work?”

"I understand." Kennedy nodded. The situation in the United States is so bad now, and Kennedy, the Democratic president, is in ruins. However, the Republican Party still wants to cherish its feathers so that it can be in power for a long time in the future, so it is naturally unwilling to take the blame. So President Kennedy could probably do what he did in 1949, and he could also do something.

Because in the next three years or so, the United States will have a lot of messes to clean up, and as President Kennedy is responsible for cleaning up the messes, the Republican Party must give considerable support.

"But..." Truman said, "Joseph, should we do something for the future of the United States?"

"For the future of the United States?" Kennedy didn't quite understand what Truman said. His presidency was coming to an end and he would live in seclusion in the future. And my own president may be able to work until 1949, but he is just an unlucky guy who cleans up the mess. What future does he have?

"Joseph," Truman paused, "the next three years or so will be very, very critical for the United States... just like the Ebert era in Germany."

German President Ebert was a tragic politician. Under his leadership, the situation in post-war Germany was a mess. However, his resolute suppression of the German Bolsheviks and his indulgence of the Wehrmacht to maintain independence were considered by some to be the key to Germany's rise after the war.

"President, do you want me to be America's Albert?" Kennedy did not expect Truman to ask such a question.

"I think you can do better than Albert," Truman said, "because the current situation in the United States is much better than that of Germany back then, and I can also learn lessons from the process of Germany's rise."

Obviously, Truman did not want Kennedy to be a US president who was just eating and waiting to die. He still wanted Kennedy to do something he wanted to do but had no chance to do.

Kennedy frowned: "President, what do you want to do?"

"The United States needs the Nazi Party and the Wehrmacht!" Truman expressed his thoughts. In addition to being busy with "Tongde" and dealing with the "Tongde Gate Incident", he was thinking about the future of the United States. Moreover, he frequently met with many old-school leaders in the Democratic Party (who were also members of the Ku Klux Klan) and those who did not follow Wallace and joined the progressive right wing of the Democratic Party (the progressives are also divided into left and right, and Wallace is the progressive left wing) to listen to their suggestions. Now there is a preliminary idea of ​​integrating the Democratic Party, the Fascist Party, and the Ku Klux Klan.

Truman then said to Kennedy: "It is easy for the American Nazi Party to emerge, and the line of the American National Fascist Party is close to the Nazi Party. If we can integrate the power of the Democratic Party and the Ku Klux Klan in the southern United States with the Fascist Party, we can establish an American National Socialist Party.

As for the Wehrmacht... this will take some effort. The current army of more than 10 million people must be streamlined to a few hundred thousand, and the most essential parts must be retained, the most ideal soldiers must be selected, and a certain degree of independence must be given to them. Only in this way can we ensure that the US military will become a national pillar like the German Wehrmacht in the future!"

Kennedy has completely understood Truman's idea. This American president who is in danger of losing his throne was not supposed to be the Albert of the United States, but the Hindenburg of the United States! He has already figured out how to lead the United States onto the path of fascism and militarism.
