The influence that Nyasaland Automobile Group has in the United States can be compared to the influence of foreign-funded enterprises in the Republic in the early days of reform, which is greater than Mike Carlisle imagined.
Hoover obviously knew the influence of Nyasaland Automobile Group, but Ferdinand did not know that in Ferdinand's eyes, there was no difference between Nyasaland Automobile Group and other companies investing in California or San Diego. He did not understand the term "Locke"
The magic that names have.
"Sir, the $150,000 promised by the Rockefeller family has been received -" Hoover campaign director Alan Conrad beamed at the Rhodesia Hotel in Los Angeles.
Hoover didn't speak, his expression was contented. In Hoover's view, the Rockefeller family made the right choice, and 150,000 dollars was actually not much.
Compared to other large families.
"Mr. Mike Carlisle of Nyasaland Automobile Group donated US$200,000, and the Marquis of Nyasaland sent you a personal congratulatory message, wishing you a successful election." Alan Conrad also smiled broadly, before Hoover.
The support rate is actually not high, but more and more big figures are expressing support for Hoover, which is only a good sign.
"Call back the Marquis of Nyasaland in my name and thank him for his support. We will definitely be able to create a better tomorrow." Hoover did not make a specific commitment, but all the commitments that should be made are in place, and some words are not needed.
It's too obvious.
"Bring back your speech, focus on economic recovery and emphasize the importance of free trade. We can give up joining the League of Nations and our influence on Europe, but this does not mean we give up on East Asia and emphasize East Asia.
, this is a plus." Nicholas Pate, Hoover's assistant, seized the last moment to emphasize that Hoover's first pot of gold came from East Asia, which is the future economic growth point of the United States.
"The Marquis of Nyasaland is also an Asian, and I don't want to emphasize the importance of Asia." Hoover had his own philosophy, and he subconsciously avoided anything related to Asia.
The reason lies in the document in Roque's safe. Although Roque did not threaten Hoover with that document in these years, it was always a time bomb.
"But Asia is our only breakthrough at the moment. The Philippines, Japan and the Qing Dynasty - we must give 100% of our attention." Nicholas Pate emphasized that his news was a bit lagging behind. The Qing Dynasty has been destroyed. Now it is actually
Republic of China.
"Okay, okay, I understand—" Hoover said casually.
Before the staff lifted up the curtain, they did not forget to give Hoover his due blessing.
"Wish you all the best--"
"Thank you -" Hoover took a deep breath, with a professional and mature smile on his face. He walked into the speech many times without forgetting to wave to the audience.
As a presidential candidate, every move Hoover made was carefully planned by the campaign team.
Zhang Shengjie persisted for a long time, and nearly 6,000 Hoover supporters gathered in the venue. However, this did not mean that Hoover could get 6,000 votes. To make these people willing to vote for him, Hoover had to continue to work hard.
"Gentlemen and ladies, citizens who yearn for freedom and justice, we are gathered together today to create a fairer and freer America - 165 years ago, the great John Adams, Franklin Jefferson delivered "
Declaration of Independence, declaring the founding of the United States - now 165 years have passed, have we built a fair, just, democratic and free America? No, we have not done it - we have failed the great aspirations of our great forefathers and the American people.
Looking forward to——" Hoover's speech was very contagious. His speech was frequently interrupted by applause and cheers. In the audience, there were staff arranged by the Democratic Party to boost the atmosphere, and the atmosphere quickly reached an extremely heated level.
Nicholas Pate and Alan Conrad stood behind the curtain less than ten meters away from Hoover. Alan Conrad lifted the curtain and took a look at the lively venue, feeling a little more relaxed.
"Not bad, our presidential candidate, at least in terms of demagoguery, has done a good job." Allen Conrad beamed. The Democratic Party has not yet decided who will replace the Democratic Party. Although Hoover started a little late,
The momentum is good.
"Don't be too optimistic. There must be Republicans in the venue. They will not sit back and wait. Our security forces need to be strengthened. If you ask me, we should hire Umbrella or Delta security personnel. They are professional." Nicholas Pei
It was not optimistic. California voters tended to be more Republican. Hoover came to Los Angeles for a speaking tour. Nicholas Pate did not approve.
"Umbrella and Delta are war hyenas. We have to mingle with voters to gain their support." Alan Conrad looked at the high-atmosphere venue with great satisfaction. Such a speech can raise at least 60,000 yuan.
dollars in campaign funds.
Just when Nicholas Pater and Allen Conrad were having their own thoughts, Hoover's speech finally reached its climax.
"——It is precisely because of the participation of the United States in the war, and it is precisely because of millions of our troops heading to Europe that England and France were saved from the whirlpool of the world war. We are the saviors of the world and the guardians of civilization.
The United States represents the future world. We have no intention of competing for world hegemony. We only want to maintain world peace. This is our bounden duty and responsibility as the United States. To win the leadership of the world, we must continue to move forward, and at this time we are isolated.
What doctrine and free trade cannot do, we must do everything we can to make money from Europeans. England, France, Germany, and Russia will eventually become our hunting grounds, and the future is ours—" Hoover finally ended his speech
, cheers like a landslide and tsunami sounded in the venue, and everyone applauded enthusiastically. Hoover's speech represented the wishes of many Americans.
Then nearly a hundred girls holding donation boxes appeared at the venue, encouraging the audience in the venue to donate.
They are enthusiastic and have hot figures. If you donate one dollar, you can get a sweet smile. If you donate ten dollars, you can get a sweet kiss.
Some guys who were carried away by their passion donated hundreds of dollars at a time, and their names would be recorded. If Hoover was successfully elected in the future, they might have the opportunity to attend Hoover's celebration banquet.
So now you understand what $80,000 is, even Hoover would have to bow down to it.
Of course, Hoover also expressed his gratitude. He personally came to the supporters, shook hands with them and exchanged warm greetings.
The applause lasted for a long time, and Hoover got further and further away from the stage.
Nicholas Pater and Allen Conrad finally realized something was wrong and immediately instructed the staff to bring Hoover back.
Hoover was not aware of the crisis, but still shook hands with supporters enthusiastically and waved to supporters who were further away from time to time.
"Thank you and long live America!"
"Yes, we can definitely win!"
"I will fight for the benefit of everyone all my life——"
Hoover raised his voice to bring out the rhythm, but Hoover's voice was drowned out by the huge applause and cheers. Even the people around Hoover couldn't hear clearly what Hoover was saying.
"Herbert, we all support you -"
"Kill the Republicans!"
"Herbert, do you think you could do better than President Woodrow Wilson?"
Most of the time, Hoover had a bright smile on his face.
Hoover was always able to turn a deaf ear to those objectionable remarks, and no one could guarantee that he would gain 100% support from voters.
"Herbert, do you think you can do better than President Woodrow Wilson?" There are certainly discordant voices, and they refuse to give up.
"President Wilson has done a great job. No one dares to say that he will do better than him, but I am confident that he will be able to lead the United States to continue to be great -" Hoover's answer was a panacea. Under normal circumstances, this topic would stop there.
end.
"So was America ever great?" The questioning voice was harsh, and Hoover could hear it clearly.
"Of course we have been great. The United States has always been a great country. We have grown from the original thirteen states in North America to the current thirty states. Our gross national product has surpassed the British Empire and ranked first in the world. These achievements are all
We earned it through the efforts of all Americans." Hoover gave the standard answer.
If the topic ended here, it would only become a minor episode in Hoover's countless speeches.
But the guy who asked the question clearly didn't accept Hoover's answer.
Just as Hoover finished speaking, the face of the guy who asked the question suddenly changed: "You liar, you are as much a liar as Woodrow Wilson -"
In fact, when Hoover came among his supporters, he was accompanied by bodyguards and security personnel.
The guy who asked the question just changed his face.
The security personnel had no time to react.
The guy who asked the question pulled a pistol from his arms.
"Liar, go to hell!" The questioner said with a ferocious face as he pointed at Hoover and pulled the trigger.
Just when the questioner drew his pistol, the security personnel around Hoover had already reacted.
A security officer immediately threw Hoover to the ground. In an instant, several more security officers rushed over and pinned Hoover directly in the middle.
Boom!
The questioner pulled the trigger, but he did not have the chance to fire a second shot. The moment he pulled the trigger, several security personnel rushed forward and pushed the gunman directly to the ground.
Hoover, who was knocked down by security personnel, took a long time to get up.
His clothes were messy and his hair style was gone. He was sitting on the ground in a daze, not realizing what had happened.
The gunman was directly tackled by security personnel, and Hoover was quickly evacuated from the venue surrounded by a large group of security personnel.
"Why? Why?" Hoover was puzzled as he left the meeting.
"Armored car, armored car, hurry up, we're leaving here right now." Nicholas Pate grabbed Hoover's arm and was in shock. He had never seen such a formation before.
