Chapter 4 Political supernova.

After a while, Mr. Chris returned home, took off his heavy police parka, and walked towards Peyton who was reading a newspaper.

"How does school feel?"

"It's not bad. There are many novel things in the school, and the content of the teacher's lectures is also very interesting."

Mr. Chris showed a gentle smile: "That's good!"

As he said that, he glanced at the newspaper that Peyton was reading, with a big headline——Who do you support for the next president?
The Federation changes every four years. According to the time, the next president will officially take office on January 1953, 1.

This is a hot topic in the federation. Although there is still more than a year before the re-election, the topic of discussion about the re-election has already ignited in the federation.

Almost all the people paid attention to the fight.

Mr. Chris came interested: "Little Peyton, who do you think the next president will be?"

They often discuss this issue, and Mr. Chris seems to be very conscious of cultivating Payton's political literacy.

Payton put down the newspaper, pondered for a moment and said: "According to the provisions of Article 1951 of the Constitutional Amendment approved in February 2 that the president can only be re-elected for one term, the power of the president is about to be locked in a cage. Strong Roosevelt."

"As the president of the Democratic Party and Roosevelt's successor, Truman has a high probability of being unlikely to be re-elected, and the current general environment does not support his re-election."

"good."

Mr. Chris nodded. This is a fact recognized by everyone in the Federation - as Roosevelt's successor, Truman's status is far from falling.

The Democratic Party has been in power for 20 years, and the Republican Party, which has been silent for 20 years, has launched unscrupulous attacks on it. They have been secretly promoting McCarthyism in the Federation, and the contradiction is directly directed at Truman.

McCarthy's slogan was "Invade the State Department with gunfire", and the Truman administration was also labeled as "collaborating with the Soviet Union" and "selling out the Chiang Kai-shek Group".

He directly pointed out that the 20 years of the Democratic Party were "20 years of treason."

At the same time, the problems on the Korean battlefield, coupled with the dismissal of MacArthur and the recent steel workers' strike, seriously affected Truman's re-election...

The internal tide of the Democratic Party is also surging, and the veterans of the party and the Senate are not optimistic about Truman's re-election.

Therefore, during this period, they successively launched new stars of the Democratic Party, wanting to be the next successor after Truman.

The public opinion for the election of the federal government is almost jointly promoted by the two parties.

The enemy's attack, the allies' backstab, the next president will never be Truman!
"Then who do you like? Congressman Lyndon Johnson, General Eisenhower, Congressman Robert Taft, Congressman Thomas Dewey, Governor Stevenson? Or superstar political star Congressman Nixon?"

Mr. Chris spoke slowly, and the famous names in the political arena were spoken out of his mouth.

These are the people who are talking about the next president in the newspapers.

He stared at Peyton with burning eyes.

He is looking forward to Peyton's answer. He has three sons and a daughter.

The eldest daughter is okay, she can be regarded as well-behaved, but her gender is the biggest limitation.

Regardless of the fact that women's rights are on the rise, there is still a long way to go before women really stand up in the political arena.

The two older sons are obviously useless, only inheriting his strong physical fitness, not at all his vision and wisdom, a typical reckless man.

In the future, it will be an ordinary middle class.

So far it seems that only the youngest son has shown the talent to inherit his political ambitions

For Peyton, Mr. Chris has always had an expectation.

The large number is useless, re-train the number!
This is the expectation in his heart.

At the beginning, Mrs. Chris questioned why Peyton's accident happened.

Mr. Chris said that he didn't know, but he knew that it was because the condom was accidentally punctured by him "inadvertently"...

It's not that he is thin, but the quality of the condom is really average.

Payton organized his words in his mind, and said slowly: "The Democratic Party has been in power for 20 years, which is too long!"

"Whether it is the public or the federal capital needs some freshness, too many contradictions have accumulated in the past 20 years, and now, all contradictions need to be reconciled."

"Contradiction, reconciliation?" Mr. Chris muttered two words, and found it very interesting that such words would come out of Peyton's mouth.

Sure enough, he is a good boy with political talent.

Payton continued: "Emerging capital is pushing, they hope that there will be some changes in the federal government, and they hope that there will be someone who pays attention to their position on the stage. The Democratic Party does not meet their interests and needs, and they do not want the next president to be a Democrat. "

"For the next president, I lean toward the Republican Party. Senator Lyndon Johnson and Governor Stevenson are both the pearls of the Democratic Party. They are recognized as the next heirs of the Democratic Party. Maybe one of them will be the candidate of the Democratic Party, but it will definitely not be the Democratic Party's candidate. The president, well... at least not this term."

"As for the Republican Party, Congressman Dewey has already failed twice, and his propositions have not received much approval from the public. Even within the Republican Party, his reputation is not as good as before."

(Note: Thomas Dewey, the Governor of New York, the famous Mafia nemesis, twice as the Republican candidate, lost to Roosevelt and Truman respectively!)

"Taft is Mr. Republican, the leader of the Republican Party, but he is so cold that he is not like a leader of flesh and blood, but more like a political machine, and he will withstand the final counterattack of the Democratic Party. The possibility of him becoming president is extremely small .”

"Nixon is a rising political star of the Republican Party and has a strong public base, but he is too young and has too short a political experience. Maybe he can become the next vice president and future president proposed by the Republican Party."

"As for General Eisenhower, as a five-star general of the federal military and the principal of Columbia, I have noticed that his reputation among the people has become higher and higher. As a combat hero, he has not yet joined any party. We are wooing him, and the probability of becoming president is extremely high!"

Hearing Peyton's words, Mr. Chris was extremely satisfied.

Of course, he didn't agree with Peyton's opinion!
As a Democrat, Mr. Chris does not support Payton's view that he is optimistic about the Republican Party.

However, the outcome of the election is unknown until it comes out.

Now Payton can think clearly and analyze the pros and cons of each rising political star, and get a seemingly reasonable result, which is already very satisfying to him.

My son Payton has the qualities of a president!

Mr. Chris' eyes became more and more satisfied.

"Very good, although I do not support your point of view, but I defend your right to speak, your point of view is very strong, but you ignore the strength of the Democratic Party, we have a great president like Roosevelt, and a qualified heir like Truman, 20 Years of governance are far from being shaken by the turmoil of the Republican Party..." Mr. Chris said confidently.

He lived in the era of the Democratic Party and experienced the era of the great President Roosevelt. He did not think that the Republican Party could influence their governance.

All difficulties are only temporary.

Republican?What kind of a bunch of guys is that?
How can a group of insects govern?
How can a country be governed well with this group of insects?

"And how can a nonpartisan become president?"

"Maybe General Eisenhower will join the Republican Party, maybe?" Payton laughed.

"How is it possible? Even if you join the party, you will only join the Democratic Party and have been in power for 20 years. This is our foundation!"

Mr. Chris said firmly.

Hearing Mr. Chris' firm words, Peyton did not refute or argue.

Because, there is no point, he doesn't like to make pointless arguments.

Time will prove everything!
What he said is basically the conclusions that have been proved by later generations. Since his father doesn't believe it, then forget it.

In a sense, he understood his father well.

Mr. Chris lived in the era of Roosevelt, in the world of the Democratic Party.

There are old and young in the Qing Dynasty, how many followers are Roosevelt allowed?
Witness false advocacy at the peak, and faithful believers at dusk!
Franklin D. Roosevelt was a religion in itself.

Everyone must admit that this is a very charming Mr. President.

Following the leader of the Democratic Party, Mr. Chris experienced World War II and witnessed the rise of the Union.

In addition, he himself is a firm member of the Democratic Party and a follower of Roosevelt, so he has a kind of blind trust in the Democratic Party.

It's just that he forgot that the essence of politics is compromise. In the past 20 years, the contradictions accumulated in society need to be resolved and everything needs to be reconciled.

There are reasons why the two parties are in power.

If you want to resolve these contradictions and reconcile the social order, this time the change of president is the best opportunity.

Whoever the president is, it has to be a Republican.

On this point, Payton believes that there is already a tacit understanding at the top of the two parties.

Shaking his head, Peyton didn't think too much about it. Anyway, this incident had little impact on the father and son.

Although Mr. Chris is a Democrat, he is only a low-level city councilor. Such a high-level game is still far away for him.

It is even further away from Payton.

……

In a blink of an eye, another year passed, and it was already October 1952.

Time seems to be validating Payton's point of view little by little. A few months ago, Truman announced that he would no longer run.

General Eisenhower declared to be the candidate of the Republican Party, and Senator Nixon became his partner. The two started speech after speech, fought for votes, and ran for president and vice president respectively.

Not long ago, a storm broke out, and the media attacked Nixon for improper extortion of bribes.

Then, a vigorous counterattack began!

Richard Millhouse Nixon, remember a name!
A true political genius!

This talented politician who only stepped into the political arena in 1946 became the vice presidential candidate in just six years.

The supernova gave a famous "checkers speech"

In his speech, he said: "My fellow Commonwealth, I come before you tonight as both a candidate for vice president and as a man whose integrity and integrity have been called into question."

"I will not ignore people's doubts like Mr. Truman. The best way to solve doubts is to stand up and tell the truth."

……

In the subsequent speech, like a science student, he listed the bills one by one, announced his meager property, and said that he had never conducted improper fundraising.

He stated that the only gift he ever received was a dog named Checkers that was sent to his daughter.

He said Checkers is his family and they will continue to adopt him no matter what.

Peyton witnessed the speech from the front of the TV.

This speech is not so much a self-defense, but rather Nixon's criticism of the Democratic Party.

From diss Truman ignoring the complaint, to complaining that the current Democratic candidate Governor Stevenson's political views are not in line with current affairs.

Stepping on the dead body of the Democratic Party, he received countless flowers, applause and support from the Republican party.

There were also rumors in the party that he would replace his vice presidential elector before, but all the crises dissipated in this speech.

Immediately afterwards, Nixon described the biggest black spot of the Truman administration that the entire federal society is most concerned about today-the Korean War.

A wife who claimed to be a soldier on the Korean battlefield appeared at the speech and said she hoped to be reunited with her husband.

Although her family was struggling financially, she still raised ten dollars to donate to Nixon, hoping that everything would be resolved after Nixon's successful election.

Nixon: We don't need war!
A topic promised to be spoken was the last straw for the Truman administration.

Regarding this military wife, Peyton believes that this is definitely a trust, but who cares?
The long-lasting Korean War has made the citizens of the Federation suffer for a long time!

The public is filled with disgust for the Korean battlefield that has lasted for several years.

They couldn't accept that the great federation couldn't simply defeat a weak third world oriental country on the Korean battlefield.

No superpowers at all!
What a waste of taxpayers money!
This speech attracted the attention of more than 6000 million people and became a national hot spot.

After the speech, it had a huge impact on public opinion in the society.

The New York Times, which had criticized Nixon, realized that the general trend was with the Republican Party, so it quickly praised Nixon's "calmness and (made) assurances."

"In our opinion, he is so remarkable that we can think of no other way to describe him," the New York News wrote in an editorial.

The Pittsburgh Gazette called the speech "a remarkable speech."

The "Moving Record" stated that Nixon successfully turned the fund crisis into an opportunity and played the greatest role.

This speech also made all the Democrats realize that they have provoked a person that cannot be provoked.

Nixon entered the political arena in 46 years and became a senator in the Federal Congress in just a few years.

Now is the time to charge towards the highest echelons of power.

Liu Bang won the world for seven years, this person is simply a little Liu Bang-like figure!

This man is fierce!
A speech basically established the victory!
"It's amazing, it's really amazing!"

Peyton sighed in his heart, this speech shocked him greatly.

Compared with the previous Iron Curtain speech, the shock brought by this speech is stronger.

Isn't that kind of provocative ability more terrifying than a pyramid scheme master?
It can be said that the overwhelming advantage of the Republican Party was confirmed from this speech.

Regardless of the truth beneath the speech?
It doesn't matter whether the attack was orchestrated by the Democrats or a conspiracy directed by the Republicans.

The result is already doomed, the Republican Party will win!
This is a fantastic speech by Nixon on his way to the core of federal power. Nixon is about to become the youngest vice president!

Mr. Chris and Peyton witnessed such a speech together.

At that time, he was extremely silent, and only after a while did he spit out a sentence: "Damn guy, why isn't he a Democrat."

"There are such stars among the worms of the Republican Party?"

　Presidential lineup after Roosevelt, with some characteristics.

　　"Roosevelt's successor" Harry S. Truman, Democrat.
