In terms of personal likes and dislikes, Liu Fu is unwilling to be an enemy of this legendary president, but from a national perspective, Liu Fu has to defeat the American president, thereby weakening the United States and allowing the South China Sea Federation to gain more survival.
Space. Sometimes Liu Fu thinks about it, why were a large number of legendary figures born at almost the same period?
For example, China has Mao Zedong, the Soviet Union has Stalin, Germany has Hitler, the United Kingdom has Churchill, France has De Gaulle, the United States has Roosevelt, Yugoslavia has Tito, plus Rommel, Dönitz, Manstein, Guderian,
Zhukov, Eisenhower, MacArthur, Patton, Montgomery, Yamamoto Isoroku, etc., all appeared together in a few years. If these people were scattered to other eras, they would all be contemporary heroes.
What Liu Fu needs to face will be some of these people, and he does not want to cooperate with them, but to defeat them. This makes Liu Fu very unsure, in terms of strategy and tactics, personal charm, military and political
In terms of quality, any one of these people could knock Liu Fu eight blocks away, but Liu Fu not only had to face one of them, but several of them at the same time.
After talking about these nonsense, let’s go back to Franklin Roosevelt. The 31st president of the United States was born in a wealthy family. In our current terms, he is the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich people. Moreover, this president is an only son and has no family background since he was a child.
Brothers and sisters. Roosevelt's mother loved her son so much that he was not allowed to bathe by himself until he was 9 years old. Throughout his childhood, he had to abide by all the rules her mother set for him.
And his father did not ignore his only descendant. He carried Roosevelt on his shoulders since he was a child. He took him to inspect the estate. When he was older, he changed it to riding a horse. In the summer, the father and son would go digging with their dogs.
Then he lay down among the strawberries and listened to his father telling him stories.
From the age of 5, the elder Roosevelt took his son to sail on the 51-foot-long "Half Moon" sailboat. When he was not as tall as the Half Moon's steering wheel, he had already begun to steer alone. When Roosevelt was 14 years old,
He has traveled to most countries in Europe before and is quite familiar with each country. He feels like he is at home.
In addition to sailing and traveling, Roosevelt also developed the hobby of hunting, collecting stamps, and donating to charity since he was a child. With his father, he also came into contact with many American political figures, including the President of the United States. This laid the foundation for his entry into politics as an adult.
Good foundation.
In 1904, Roosevelt graduated from Harvard University. He then went to Columbia Law School to continue his studies, but after obtaining the lawyer's certificate, he dropped out of school and entered politics. In 1910, he was elected as a New York City Senator. In 1913, he served as Vice Admiral of the Navy.
Minister. During his tenure, he also visited the South China Sea Federation.
While on a seaside vacation in 1921, he participated in putting out a forest fire and then jumped into the sea for a swim. Unfortunately, he contracted polio and was confined to a wheelchair from then on. He had to chair many Democratic Party meetings.

But the disease did not defeat Roosevelt. He was still struggling for his ideals. Although he failed to participate in the presidential election as James Middleton Cox's running mate in 1920, he successfully became the governor of New York State in 1928.
, and adopted a variety of new policies to reduce taxes for farmers, which were very popular.
In March 1933, Roosevelt realized his childhood dream and was successfully elected as the 31st President of the United States. However, the United States at that time was already in a mess due to the economic crisis, unemployment remained high, and industrial production was close to stagnant. However, Roosevelt
On the third day after taking office, he began his campaign promise that he would implement a New Deal to pull the United States out of the quagmire of crisis.
There are three core contents of Roosevelt's New Deal: reform, revival and relief. This New Deal is not a temporary expedient, but a major and traumatic operation performed within the capitalist body in order to ensure the stable development of the capitalist system.
.
On March 6, the U.S. government announced a collective holiday for all banks across the country and ceased operations. Then on March 9, the U.S. Congress passed the "Emergency Banking Order" and passed legislation to adopt a license access system for banks. Those who are solvent
Banks can be opened after being reviewed. Roosevelt said to the frightened Americans: I guarantee you that it will be safer to deposit your money in the reopened banks than to hide it at home.
On June 16, the U.S. Congress passed the Banking Act, establishing the Federal Reserve System, which was borne by the federal government. Thanks to the government guarantee and endorsement, the bank's credit recovered quickly, and bank deposits had increased by 20% by the end of 1933.
billion US dollars.
In addition to finance, Roosevelt also carried out drastic reforms in agriculture and industry, including plowing 10 million acres of cotton fields, purchasing and slaughtering 200,000 sows and 6 million piglets that were about to give birth, and tens of millions.
Cows and sheep were thought to cause commodity shortages in order to restore prices.
The last step is relief. Roosevelt's so-called relief is actually relief for work. In the early days of his taking office, the U.S. government built a large number of public projects to increase government spending to make up for the gap caused by the decline in private investment and solve some employment problems.
question. And it officially announced that the government will no longer provide relief benefits to the unemployed who are able to work, but will instead introduce jobs to these people and allow them to earn wages.
During these reforms, the U.S. government and Congress issued more than 700 orders, covering six major aspects: rectifying fiscal and financial affairs, adjusting industrial production, controlling agricultural development, implementing social relief, establishing public works, and adjusting the separation of powers mechanism.
Then, Roosevelt ordered the United States to stop gold exports, announced the abolition of the gold standard, and began to devalue the U.S. dollar to increase the competitiveness of the United States in world commodity transactions.
Roosevelt's New Deal was not smooth sailing. This drastic reform would definitely hurt the interests of many people. For example, the newspaper king said: The New Deal is a harsh government that does not exploit the rich but the successful. And the famous American journalist and writer
John Root
Shi said: It was an attempt by some spineless liberals to save capitalism for the desperate capitalists. Some people even suggested that Roosevelt's New Deal seriously damaged the American spirit and was fascism disguised as liberal democracy.
But no matter what these people say or scold, Roosevelt's New Deal still achieved success in the United States. It first restored the American people's confidence in the government and banks. Once people had confidence, coupled with appropriate legal binding force, the economic crisis first
It was curbed in the United States. Starting in 1934, the U.S. economy began to stop declining and gradually gained momentum.
The economic recovery of the United States has also brought good news to Europe, which has very close economic relations with it. This is especially good news for countries such as Britain and France where the economic crisis is not very serious. People there have slowly regained their confidence and begun to be willing to invest in some projects.
Chinese investment has also led to the economic recovery of Britain and France.
As for Germany, another area hardest hit by the economic crisis, the situation is not so optimistic. First of all, Germany's economic foundation is not as solid as that of the United Kingdom and the United States. Coupled with the drag of World War I, the German government is heavily in debt and cannot heal the wounds of the economic crisis through reforms.
Moreover, Germany has no overseas colonies and cannot pass on this crisis. European countries are even more afraid of Germany and are not willing to help this country that has once made them very embarrassed.
Under this situation, the reputation of the German government in the country has been almost destroyed. A large number of unemployed workers, bankrupt middle class, small owners and capitalists are all disappointed with this government. They believe that under the leadership of this government, Germany will not be defeated.
shadow, and cannot solve the disaster of the economic crisis.
Just when the German people were disappointed, helpless, hesitant, and angry, a passionate voice came out from the mouth of a little Austrian man named Adolf Hitler, and this man was no stranger to the German people. He is the current German
Leader of the largest political party, the German National Socialist Workers Party. (To be continued..)
