Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 744 Amazing Plan

Mountain views, sea views, exquisite architecture, luxurious decoration, thoughtful service, attached golf course, private airport, and kart track make this estate a semi-enclosed club.

At this time, under the warm sunshine, Qiao Zhiyong and John Kennedy, a member of the US Congress who just left the east to Oakland, were drinking coffee and chatting relaxedly on the terrace.However, the relaxed atmosphere does not mean that the content of their conversation is also relaxed.

"In order to keep his current seat, Acting President Eisenhower formed the National Progressive Party, which greatly weakened the power of the Republican Party. Therefore, the Democratic Party has a good chance of winning the general election. Now, I am worried about the issue of the popular electoral college. Joe, you know that the U.S. Election Act stipulates that each state elects a popular electoral college based on its population, and then votes to determine the presidential nominee on this basis. This has a certain relationship with political party competition, but political party competition does not fully cover the popular electoral college. A system that requires me to win a vast majority of states and not just be the party's sole nominee."

Qiao Zhiyong nodded, looked into Kennedy's pale blue eyes after pondering for a while and said, "The key issue is to win each state, so after you get the only nomination from the Democratic Party, what you have to consider is the future governing platform. It is necessary to conduct a general survey of the needs of each state, and try to formulate a reasonable governance plan that meets the needs of each state. This is the key factor for success or failure! In addition, personal image and charm are also very important. This point. His Majesty the Emperor of our country has already This is an excellent opportunity for you."

"Oh?" Kennedy leaned his body towards Qiao Zhiyong on the sofa, trying to get as close as possible to this out-and-out Chinese partner who was already quite Americanized.

"After Eisenhower came to power, the Sino-US relationship that the American people are concerned about has shown signs of regression. This is one of them; President Roosevelt's plan to limit trusts has been messed up during his two-year administration. Eisenhower, who wanted to have both sides, did not Success. On the contrary, it offended everyone. This lesson should be learned. Of course, this is your second chance; I haven't increased your income, I think this is the third biggest opportunity you should grasp, isn't it just to increase your income? Such a promise can be made public." Qiao Zhiyong wrung his fingers to give Kennedy an idea.

Kennedy stood up, walked a few steps, sat down again and said: "I believe that my personal friendship with His Majesty the Great Emperor and you can completely enhance the relationship between the two countries. On this point, I would like to use it before the election, that is, recently. Prove it by visiting Beijing. The second difficulty is that the Democratic Party needs the support of the trust in the general election of the political party. This requires the use of President Roosevelt’s restriction bill. If this is the case, it will offend the workers and small business owners. If we take a strong stand to enforce the Limiting Trusts Act, then the problems within the party will immediately come to the fore. There will be an irreconcilable line between the people and the party."

Qiao Zhiyong could see and hear Kennedy's doubts and anxiety. This was a matter of camp selection.If you choose ordinary Americans, you will offend the monopoly and the big bosses in the party, which means that even if you get the support of the people and sit on the presidential throne as one of the only Democratic candidates, then the next election is certain Cannot be nominated by the party.Just like what happened to Theodore Roosevelt in the first election.If the trust monopoly is chosen, it may not be able to compete with the acting president in the popular electoral colleges of each state, resulting in a failure in the election.This is really a dilemma, but Qiao Zhiyong has his own way to solve it.

"John, you shouldn't get involved in the antitrust law anymore on this issue. You can use some of the current measures as an example to prove that this law is not perfect. Then, on this basis, propose a new economic theory of freedom Economy, I think you can be recognized in two aspects. The theory of free competition economic system and the strengthening of the complete democratic process in the United States will be your major achievements in the election and in the presidency.” Qiao Zhiyong also stood up and walked away. Going to the marble railing of the terrace and looking at the San Francisco Bay, after a while, he continued: "The free economy is actually being implemented, but a few years ago, because of President Roosevelt's request, the direction of development was set in South America, Australia Just like Europe. John, now dealing with slightly less efficient assets to raise funds, before the end of the year, the theory of free economics will be confirmed by the explosive prosperity of the US financial markets. You know what I mean?"

"The United States launched a financial investment boom alone? No, I think there should be others. Thank you, Joe, and His Majesty the Emperor on the other side of the Pacific Ocean." Kennedy immediately understood that the one who was about to launch a round of financial investment would use a lot of money Funds quickly heated up the current sluggish stock market, which brought a scene of prosperity created by new economic theories.This can be closely coordinated with your own general election and help you step on the throne of the president.Obviously, the Chinese are helping themselves, and more specifically, China is supporting themselves.Well, as a candidate for the US president, while receiving this kind of help, he has to put aside his personal friendship and think about it: What does China want?Does it conflict with the interests of the United States or harm the interests of the United States?This has to be figured out, otherwise such help is unacceptable.At this time, Kennedy made up his mind to go across the Pacific Ocean to Beijing as soon as possible.

Kennedy was aware of the influence of the Joe Group and the Emperor of China on the American economy.Needless to say, the Qiao Group, which has its own powerful strength, and the consortium closely related to the Qiao Group almost dominate the US economy.The Morgan consortium, which is a supporter of the stock listing of Joe's Group, also owns about 15% of Joe's shares.The Rockefeller consortium, the Joe Group, and China's interests in oil are just talking non-stop!Qiao's also owns 30% of the shares of Mobil Oil, the backbone company of the consortium today. It can be said that John Rockefeller and Qiao Zhiyong have the same interests.The DuPont consortium, which is the consortium that most directly supports Kennedy, has a cooperative or even dependent relationship with Joe's in the fields of armaments and chemicals.Other smaller ones, such as Mellon, Harriman, etc., are also desperately moving closer to the Chinese consortium.It is also because of this that he does not have to worry too much about the Chinese emperor harming the economic interests of the United States.Because, such words are also harming his own interests.Of course, under the premise that everything is good, these consortiums represent the entire American economic community and become Kennedy's strong backing!
The so-called liberal economic theory is actually a disguised form of liberalizing antitrust laws, at most formulating some policies to protect small business owners.Of course, this is also very conducive to the establishment of a government-led economic system. It is important to coordinate the relationship between capital and labor while establishing this regulatory system.Perhaps, Qiao's group is also needed like before.Be the vanguard of actively increasing workers' income, and set an example for all American capitalists, thereby driving the practical implementation of free economic theory.

No matter how he analyzed it, Kennedy came to the conclusion that the interests of the Chinese emperor in the United States did not contradict his position as president.

But Kennedy would not have thought of the huge plan of the Chinese emperor, nor would he have thought that he, consciously or unconsciously, would inevitably play an important role in this plan.

"John, our dear Henry is coming soon, why don't we meet this great racing hero, how about that?" Seeing that Kennedy was still thinking, Qiao Zhiyong suggested with a smile.He was not worried that Kennedy would be able to see through this plan, because the knowledge of economic theory that Americans now have is really unable to understand the emperor's intentions. Even Qiao Zhiyong himself only saw the essence of the plan after countless encrypted telegrams went back and forth.

To curb the expansion speed of American capital and try to make the American economy appear ineffective in China's expansion war.This is one of the purposes of this program.

In general, Guan Xuqing is using Joe's Group to fetter American capital, making China's industrial production capacity the biggest beneficiary of the expansion war, and at the same time taking away a sum of money in the United States!The bigger purpose is to push Kennedy to the presidency and become the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the United States just like Roosevelt was supported back then.

This is simply a seamless plan!It's a pity that such a plan is wrapped in a huge halo of interests and no one can see it clearly.

On March 1913, 3, Kennedy embarked on a westbound ship to visit China under the banner of a member of Congress, a representative of the Democratic Party, and the chief representative of the U.S. Economic Council.

On March 3, Guan Xuqing, together with the royal family and key members of the cabinet, welcomed Kennedy at Tianjin Port, and at the same time delivered a speech on "actively promoting the close cooperative relationship between China and the United States and the free exchanges between the two peoples".

Two days later, Kennedy was invited to address the Imperial Council on the new American economic system.

Subsequently, the emperor held a grand royal reception in the Forbidden City to entertain Kennedy and his party.

When the news spread to the United States, most Americans looked at the problem in this way: since Roosevelt’s death, the gradually closer relationship between China and the United States seems to have been brought up again by Kennedy’s personal charm. Of course, the meritorious Mr. Congressman also became famous, completely overwhelmed the acting President Eisenhower who was still in office and once brought Sino-US relations to a trough.

At the end of April, John Kennedy officially returned to the United States as the only candidate of the Democratic Party, and immediately started campaigning campaigns across the United States.He used liberal economic theory and full democratic theory as the core of his campaign propaganda, promising to increase the income of the American people and to increase the speed of American economic development to the level just after World War II.
