In the sky.

That man appeared

【Roosevelt held his cane tightly with one hand and his son with the other, walking slowly but firmly.】

【If he accidentally falls to the floor, his political career will be over】

【But Roosevelt didn't fall】

【He has been preparing for this moment for too long】

【He successfully stepped onto the podium and even used one hand to hold himself steady.】

【There was thunderous applause, and one reporter wrote that we were all shocked by this moment. 】

Not only the people at the time were shocked.

When I saw Roosevelt standing up and walking to the podium.

Countless ancient people were also shocked!

"Man of Steel! Iron will!"

"Wealth was one of many factors in Roosevelt's success, but it was not the main factor!"

"how did you do that?"

"handsome! So handsome!"

I was originally skeptical about Roosevelt.

I was not convinced that a paralyzed person could become president.

Now I am deeply convinced.

Even if it is the same as what someone just said.

Wealth is only one of the many factors for Roosevelt's success.

But it is not the main factor.!

And such a person who struggled and rose from adversity returned to politics.

To him, becoming the president......Is it still difficult?

【Roosevelt was a consummate orator】

【He has a majestic body and a deep and powerful voice, and he can always speak inspiring words.】

【He successfully nominated New York Governor Smith as a presidential candidate】

【Smith in turn nominated Roosevelt as the new candidate for governor of New York State.】

【People close to Roosevelt advised him not to accept the nomination.】

【Because the Republican Party was at its peak that year, Hoover took advantage of the economic boom and was determined to win the presidency. Roosevelt was likely to lose the election together with Smith.】

【But Roosevelt accepted the nomination】

【He told his friends that when you are in politics, you just have to keep playing.】

【When the campaign first began, only 33% of people supported Roosevelt, and the national situation was also very unfavorable.】

【The Republican Party formed a crushing force on the Democratic Party. Hoover even won several traditionally blue states. Newspapers declared that Roosevelt's defeat was certain.】

【But Roosevelt didn't give up】

【He traveled to 62 counties in New York State, campaigning in every county. ]

29 [This has never been done before.】

【He supports an 8-hour work system, provides subsidies for the elderly, and helps the poor get out of poverty. The balance of victory is tilting little by little.】

【In the end, Hoover defeated Smith and easily won the presidency, but Roosevelt came back with a slight advantage and defended New York for democracy in a sea of ​​red.】

【He successfully became the new governor of New York State. 】

Datang plane.

Li Er saw this paragraph.

Suddenly, the whole person sat up slightly.

"This governor should be an official like a feudal official."

"Politicians nominate governors as candidates for the throne?"

"And the monarch candidate in turn nominates his own supporters as governor?"

"How can such a blatant rights transaction be so majestic?"

Li Er was amazed when he saw it.

This political system is completely different from what he knew.

In China's feudal dynasty, the private transfer of power is an absolute forbidden area.

Because power is a public weapon!

How can a public weapon be granted privately?

More Not to mention such an undisguised transaction!

This is simply amazing!

And in addition, there is another point that concerns him greatly.

That is, in order to win the support of voters, Roosevelt openly traveled around to promote his governance plan..and make a promise

"8-hour work system, providing subsidies for the elderly, and helping the poor get out of poverty......"

Li Er watched Roosevelt's speech in the video.

Listen to the promises he made to the people.

These contents were beyond his expectation.

Originally in his cognition.

The so-called speech.

The so-called propaganda of governing ideas.

It is nothing more than promoting a metaphysical idea of ​​​​governing the country.

He didn't expect that.

It turns out that it is so specific and subtle that it touches on people’s lives!

"But indeed this is the most effective"

"If you talk to the people about military and state affairs, they may not understand."

"But if you want to provide them with subsidies after you come to power, the people will definitely support it!"

Li Er's understanding of democratic elections has further deepened

【At that time, Hoover was so full of ambition that when he walked into the White House, he would not have thought that he would be defeated by this lame man who seemed to be the least competitive in just four years.】

【Because a great depression is coming】

【On October 24, 1929, Wall Street bankers held a meeting】

【Attendees included JPMorgan Bank Chief Lamont, Chase Bank Chief Wiggin, Citibank Chief Mitchell】

【This group of men who stand at the top of the capital world hold immeasurable wealth in their hands. They come together to save the stock market that is on the verge of collapse.】

【On that day, the market value of the entire stock market evaporated by 11%, and trading volume reached a record-breaking 12.9 million shares, all of which showed that people were panic selling their stocks.】

【These bankers have not yet figured out the source of the crisis, but they have been used to heavy storms in the stock market for half their lives. They believe they can boost market confidence, and a rescue fund has been formed.】

【With the support of bankers, Whitney, the deputy chief executive of the New York Stock Exchange, bought a large number of shares of American Steel Corporation at a high price, and then used the same method to buy a large number of blue chip stocks. The decline in stock prices briefly stopped, but then it fell even more sharply. plummeting downward】

【After Black Thursday comes Black Monday, Black Tuesday......News of the stock market crash made headlines across the United States】

【On October 29, General Motors founder Durant and Standard Oil founder Rockefeller stepped in to rescue the market.】

【They buy large amounts of stocks at high prices in an attempt to stabilize market confidence】

【Rockefeller claimed that the ongoing stock market crash was not caused by any business failure.】

【But these actions were completely useless. The Dow Jones index continued to fall to a new low. The entire market lost $14 billion that day.】

【The closing bell rang at 4 p.m., and with this buzz, the Roaring 20s came to an end. 】

After Roosevelt took office as governor.

Tianmu's perspective temporarily turned away from him.

Instead, it converges on the domestic stock market.

Focus on America's Great Economic Collapse

"stock?"

"stock market?"

"banker?"

"What's the meaning?"

Countless people were confused by this content.

Those words such as stock market completely touched their knowledge blind spots.

Although they didn't quite understand the specific meaning, they could feel it vaguely..The situation in the United States......It doesn't seem good.

But actually something is not good.

It is hard to overstate how great the world has changed. because......

The Great Depression is Coming

【The roaring 20s are over】

【The passionate wave of industrialization, the colorful art forms, and the strong desire for consumption have all dissipated, leaving only panic and depression.】

【People woke up from their dreams of prosperity and found in despair that all their investments would be in vain.】

【Everyone instinctively tightens their wallets. People no longer make any investments and do not dare to buy any non-necessities.】

【But this just exacerbates the crisis】

【Corporate profits fell and companies began to lay off employees】

【Banks collapsed in panic runs. Thousands of people lost their savings and jobs. They had to mortgage their houses and became homeless. Many former millionaires now have no choice but to go to the streets. Selling fruits at a stall】

【But their president Hoover wrote this: Fruit vendors are a profession that naturally arises in a market economy. Selling fruits can free some smart people from their original jobs and earn more profits.】

【This free market believer refuses to help people trapped in poverty】

【He is superstitious about the invisible hand and thinks that as long as the government does not interfere, everything will be fine again.】

【But the situation continued to worsen. By 1932, the unemployment rate had reached 23.6% and the economy was completely paralyzed.】

【More and more people are losing confidence in the communist system. Progressive people are turning to socialism, while conservative people are turning to fascism.】

【Others are looking to New York State, where Governor Roosevelt is trying a bold new approach......】

Finally know what happened.

In the sky.

The video is peppered with footage from the Great Depression.

Employees are unemployed.

Businesses fail.

The passers-by looked downcast.

Desolate look everywhere.

Coupled with the black and white picture color.

Just watching.

It's enough to feel the depression of those years. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"What does the stock market mean?"

"Can a small stock market fluctuation trigger a nationwide depression?"

The plane of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao looked at this tragic scene in the sky.

Then he thought of the stock fluctuations mentioned by the sky just now.

He was immediately extremely curious.

The stock market?

Is it some kind of market for buying and selling goods?

But it is a small market.

How could it have such a big impact?

On the other side,

Lao Zhu’s focus is not at all on what kind of market the stock market is.

Instead, it is on Morgan Bank Lamont, Chase Bank Virgin, Citibank Mitchell Waiting for the capitalists.

Although he doesn’t know what a bank is and what capital is.[]

But these people hold immeasurable wealth in their hands.

He knew that this was the wealthy businessman of future generations!

He snorted coldly.

It seems that I have already understood the source of this depression.

"Businessmen who value profits are most harmful to the country!"

"The United States is rich, but it allows businessmen to be placed above the common people."

"A group of profit-seeking businessmen with huge wealth can actually become national idols?"

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

"Is there any reason why the house should not be messed up by such chaos?"

Lao Zhu blamed these bankers for the source of the depression without thinking.

In his opinion, letting businessmen have money and status is corrupting the social atmosphere. It is the source of national unrest!

On the sidelines.

Hear Zhu Biao was not surprised by Lao Zhu 's remarks.

In fact, he had similar thoughts.

"Is this country's depression really due to the high status of businessmen?"

The dimension of the Tang Dynasty.

When he saw this description,

Li Er also became very interested in the stock market.

"Astonishing in ancient and modern times, it is indeed shocking"

"I didn’t expect that a small stock market could have such power, causing such a powerful country to enter a state of depression in an instant."

"What is this stock market?"

"Could it be that it brings together the lifeblood of the whole country?"

"Is the country in danger of falling if you make the slightest move?"

Li Er clicked his tongue in amazement. He thought he already knew enough about future generations.

At this time, he felt that he was like looking at the moon in a well, and he had achieved very little. After a few words of praise, he soon realized that this was a great benefit to Roosevelt. Opportunities!

As the saying goes, times make heroes.

In such a depressed environment in the country, the people will inevitably hope that a capable king will emerge who can lead them out of the current predicament.

Then......

Can he do it?

"At this time of turmoil, it is the opportunity for strong men to take the lead"

"If Roosevelt is really capable"

"Then this is his best chance"

"This is the closest opportunity he has to becoming the king of a country!"

Looking at the words in the sky, Governor Roosevelt was boldly trying a new plan.

Li Er was very confident in Roosevelt.

And in fact, it was the same.

When Hoover believed in the free market,

Roosevelt adopted a new plan.

He did not sit back and watch the market. Change.

Instead, vigorously intervene in the economy with a visible hand!

Soon

People knew what he was capable of. 540

And such excellent performance brought him a lot of support

【Roosevelt was boldly trying new solutions, using government power to intervene in the economy on a massive scale】

【The New York State government led by him was the first government in the country to provide relief to the unemployed】

【This government helped 5 million people in 6 years】

【Without help, many people would have died in the Great Depression】

【When Roosevelt's first term as governor ended, 3/4 of the people in New York State supported his re-election.】

【Outside New York State, more and more people are beginning to look forward to him becoming the new president.】

【On July 1, 1932, at the Democratic National Convention, Roosevelt was officially nominated as a presidential candidate.】

【This isn't just a political election, it's a call to arms】

【Roosevelt said in his speech that he declared war on the Great Depression and promised to bring new policies to the people】

【On the other side, Hoover was trapped and still fighting.】

【In order to seek re-election, he continued to defend himself, but the public had lost patience with him.】

【If you put a rose in Hoover's hand, it would wither, one observer at the time commented】

【The final election result was completely one-sided】

【42 of the 48 states in the United States supported Roosevelt, and the Democrats completely controlled the House and Senate.】

【Someone suggested to Hoover that he vote for Roosevelt now and let everyone know】

【On March 4, 1933, more than 400,000 people gathered in front of the Capitol in silence.】

【America has plunged into its greatest crisis since the Civil War】

【In New York, 5,000 workers are left without relief because of a lack of relief funds】

【In Ova state, farmers threaten to hang lawyer to keep mortgaged land】

【In Pennsylvania, banks closed one after another, national industrial output dropped by half, and a quarter of the workforce was without a job.】

【President Hoover's last words before leaving office were: We are at the end of our rope and there is nothing we can do.】

【This is the America that Roosevelt inherited】

【This is the America he saw on Inauguration Day. 】

finally......

Became president!

This was what everyone had expected early on.

But this is somewhat different from what was expected.

Before that.

This is what the ancients expected for Roosevelt.

He will become president.

And the country he accepted.

It is the world's most powerful country.

But now.

It's true that he became president.

But at this time, America was in a state of crisis.

It feels like a person is being ordered to do something in danger.

But even so.

They were not disappointed.

On the contrary, I am looking forward to it even more!

As the saying goes, the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the loyal ministers.

Such a bad situation.

Only then can it more and more highlight Roosevelt’s ability!

So.....

How will he solve the country's Great Depression after taking office?

Everyone looked at the sky.

Very curious..
