1439 Old Versailles

 In the media industry, sharp words are called attitude.

But for Coolidge, Rock's press conference was like putting him on the fire.

Roque has already stated that lowering tariffs is for the benefit of the people, leaving more profits to companies, reducing people's living costs, and promoting global economic prosperity.

What else could Coolidge say?

Rock finished his words.

What caught Coolidge even more off guard was that the day after Rock held his press conference, Hoover clearly expressed his support for lowering tariffs in a radio interview and urged the U.S. government to reach an agreement with the federal government of Southern Africa as soon as possible.

"There is no doubt that the Marquis of Nyasaland is a true gentleman. His words are thought-provoking and worthy of reflection by each of us - the Marquis of Nyasaland is also a true knight, with his humility, his honor, and his

Compassion, as well as humility and justice are worth learning for each of us. We have been friends a long time ago, when I was still working in the Far East and the Marquis of Nyasaland was still working at the Pretoria Police Station in southern Africa-" Hu

Fo Zai Luo Ke boasted so much, of course, it was also to brag about himself.

When Hoover said these words, he probably had forgotten the first time he met Rock.

It doesn't matter. Politicians must have the psychological quality to do what they say, and they must be able to bear the humiliation of their crotch——

It's not something humans do anyway.

Listening to the sound coming from the radio, Coolidge's body was stiff, his eyes were dull, his breathing was rapid, and his face was flushed——

I can't describe it anymore, otherwise something strange will appear.

Don't get me wrong, my face is flushed because the fireplace is a little hot. Although it is already May, Washington is experiencing a rare late spring cold.

Don't worry about whether there will be late spring cold in May. It says it is "rare".

"Mr. Vice President is going too far. How could he say that-" Frank Kellogg looked ugly. As the US Secretary of State, he had to make an appointment to say anything on the radio. Hoover obviously did not make an appointment. He had arranged it early in the morning.

Understand.

But you can’t ask about this matter. The question is that our beautiful country has its own national conditions.

Don't listen to the nice words of Americans. The media does not have to have a stance. Capital does have a stance, and the media is controlled by capital. Everyone understands this logic.

The United States today does not pay enough attention to the position of public opinion. It will have to wait until the Cold War period for its thinking to gradually shift from a hot war to a cold war.

This makes Rock cheaper. Rock is willing to spend money, and with the blessing of the Marquis of Nyasaland, Americans are very willing to work for a British Marquis. What's more, Rock's salary is quite generous, and what are the benefits?

It's not bad, so in this era, Roark shouldn't be too comfortable.

Unlike the overwhelming reports from the media, the radio reports are subtle.

The media of this era is still stuck on the level of "demonization". During the World War, the United States described the Germans as cannibalistic devils. Actually, many Americans believed it and really believed that the Germans were devils, even if their

The neighbor may be German.

The media controlled by Roque never does this. When it comes to brainwashing, soft articles are far more sharp and effective than "demonization". Of course Roque will not forget such things as "summer camp", "sewer", and "cooking fairy".

Classic cases of this kind, memes that have become popular in the 21st century, are all refreshing and new things in this era.

"It's all interests, it's normal." Treasury Secretary Mellon is as steady as an old dog. He is the Mellon who "Mellon blew the whistle, Hoover rang the bell, Wall Street sent out a signal, and the United States rushed to hell."

The Mellon family is one of the top ten financial groups in the United States, a monopoly capital group that started in finance. The financial institutions controlled by the Mellon family include, in addition to Mellon National Bank, Pittsburgh National Bank and General Reinsurance Company.

In addition to financial institutions, the Mellon consortium also controls Alcoa, which has a monopoly in the U.S. aluminum products industry. It is also involved in steel, petroleum, chemicals, electrical, and even weapons manufacturing.

"What should we do?" Coolidge was in a state of confusion. He was so careless that he lost everything. Before Roark even exerted his strength, Coolidge was already in disarray.

"Sign an agreement with Southern Africa as soon as possible." Mellon supports reducing tariffs.

Although lowering tariffs will also have a certain impact on the Mellon family's business, the Mellon family's core interests are in finance. If Southern Africa and the United States relax restrictions on each other, the Mellon family can also enter Southern Africa, which will be a big problem for the Mellon family.

Said it was a good thing.

Today's enterprises are no longer the monopoly era of the last century. Cross-holding acquisitions and mergers are normal. For example, Amco Steel Company owned by the Mellon family is jointly controlled by the Rockefeller Group and the Cleveland Group;

The Specific Tire and Rubber Company is also jointly controlled by the Rockefeller, Chicago and Cleveland consortium; the Westinghouse Electric Company is still jointly controlled by the Rockefeller consortium.

"In this case, the country—" Frank Kellogg was worried that the country would not be able to explain.

Mellon burst into laughter. How long had this been? He was still worried about domestic support. As soon as Hoover said this on the radio, Coolidge had lost his chance to be re-elected.

In another time and space, Coolidge decided not to participate in the next presidential election. A reporter asked Coolidge why. Coolidge said that he had lost interest in the profession of president.

No, what Coolidge said was: "The president has no chance of advancement!"

Listen, this is something the president should say. It's just like the richest man saying he regrets founding that thing. It's always heartbreaking.

The true originator of Versailles literature.

"There is no time to think about this. We need to calm the people's emotions first." Coolidge was also very panicked. Not signing a contract with southern Africa would harm the interests of the American people. How could things have evolved to this extent?

When Coolidge was suffering, MacArthur was also suffering.

After Leonard Wood was transferred back to the United States, MacArthur took over Leonard Wood's mess and became the U.S. Governor-General in the Philippines.

The Philippines in 1925 can be described in four words: economic decline, people's livelihood difficult, internal and external troubles, and surrounded by wolves.

The Philippines covers an area of ​​299,700 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 8 million. After the Spanish-American War in 1898, the Philippines became a U.S. colony.

After the end of the World War, the conflicts between the United States and Japan in Asia intensified. The Philippines, as the largest colony of the United States in Asia, faced the threat of Japan's Eighty-Eight Fleet at any time.

During Leonard Wood's tenure as governor-general, conflicts between the U.S. colonial government in the Philippines and southern Africa intensified, which also led to tensions with the United Kingdom and the East Indies. In addition, France, which was watching from afar, and Portugal, which was silently making a fortune, the Philippine colonial government

Life was not easy.

At this time, another protracted rebellion broke out in Palawan Island. The colonial government was unable to quell it and completely lost control of Palawan Island. Therefore, after MacArthur took office, he faced internal and external difficulties.

"Southern Africans are recruiting workers in Manila and going to the Lion City to build Changi Naval Base. Changi Naval Base is progressing very quickly. Southern Africa is further expanding on the original basis and includes Pulau Tekong and part of Johor, and

Compared with before, the total area has expanded to at least 150 square kilometers." MacArthur's deputy was also an acquaintance of Rock-Patton.

Not the Southern African Patton, but the "California Boy" Patton.

After the World War, Patton was transferred frequently. He first served in the cavalry, and then was transferred to study armored forces. After studying for a while, he was transferred back to the cavalry due to the rise of American isolationism. During this period, he participated in the suppression of the veterans rally in Washington with MacArthur.

Then he went to the Army War College for further studies.

After MacArthur was appointed Governor-General in the Philippines, he naturally thought of Patton, a fierce general who had performed outstandingly during the World War, and chose Patton as his partner.

In order to make Patton's military rank worthy of being the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Army in the Philippines, the U.S. Department of War also granted Patton the rank of Major General.

"What are the people of Southern Africa going to do?" MacArthur was angry and resentful. He was angry that the U.S. government was not living up to expectations, and he hated the wealthy people in the Indian Ocean Fleet in Southern Africa.

The total area of ​​the Lion City is just over 700 square kilometers. After the expansion of the Changi Naval Base, the total area is almost equivalent to one-fifth of the Lion City.

The total area of ​​the previous Changi Naval Base was only 86 hectares, less than one square kilometer. Now the area of ​​Pulau Tekong is 25 square kilometers smaller. Plus part of Johor, how can the Indian Ocean Fleet gain a foothold in the Strait of Malacca?

Instead, he settled in the Straits of Malacca.

"Once the Changi Naval Base is completed, Southern Africa will be able to control the entire Strait of Malacca with the help of the Changi Naval Base, and then radiate to most of Southeast Asia. Ships traveling to and from the Strait of Malacca will be monitored by the Southern African Indian Ocean Fleet. Southern Africans also use the Manila Workers

Select some of them to join the Umbrella Company and conduct military training for them. What I am worried about now is that if these people return to the Philippines -" Patton felt heavy. Southern Africa has more than just a stronghold at Changi Naval Base in Southeast Asia. The entire East India is

It can be regarded as a colony in southern Africa.

Of course, Southern Africa does not recognize colonies. After the World War, Southern Africa signed an alliance with East India and became an ally. Once East India is attacked by a third country, Southern Africa will provide support to East India or even directly participate in the war.

, the same is true here in East India.

During the World War, the British Expeditionary Force included East Indian troops. Otherwise, after the World War, it would not be the East India's turn to take over Germany's colonies in the Pacific.

"Contact General Tang Li of the East India Fleet, I want to talk to him - no, no, no, contact Luke Silva first, I want to hear what Luke Silva has to say." MacArthur looked gloomy.

, this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen.
