Chapter 669 The End of an Era

"The loss of the Philippines and Central America has led to the starvation of hundreds of thousands of Americans in the economic crisis, the bankruptcy of millions of Americans, and the instant evaporation of tens of billions of dollars. Why can we still tolerate such a person to continue to sit in the presidency?"

On January 17, 1927, when the world situation was calm, a large number of newspapers in the United States suddenly began to report on President Coolidge's "contributions" since he took office, and denounced President Coolidge as a sinner of the United States, and ranked President Coolidge as the top of the three worst presidents in the United States.

The current United States is completely different from the historical trend. President Coolidge, who has gained a good reputation in history, is now scolded by all Americans, and the Coolidge era has also been rated as the worst era since the founding of the United States.

Although President Coolidge has announced his withdrawal from the next presidential election in time, the anger of Americans is not so easy to calm down.

On January 18, the U.S. Congress formally impeached President Coolidge on the grounds that the wrong choices made since Coolidge's rule had caused damage to the United States.

According to investigations afterwards, this negotiation was initiated by the Democratic Party. The cause was President Coolidge's weakness in the assassination of Roosevelt, which made the Democratic Party very dissatisfied with the Republican Party to which President Coolidge belonged.

The Republican Party could do nothing about the Democratic Party's talk. After all, the dissatisfaction of the American people was real, and it could not be changed by falsifying data alone.

However, the Republican Party obviously had a better candidate. The government's Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Clark Hoover, had a great favor from the American people because of his large-scale financial assistance to American refugees and civilians during World War I, which also made Hoover very popular in the United States.

Compared with a president like Coolidge who had already been infamous, candidates like Hoover were more favored by the Republican Party.

So the question is, how can Hoover become the new president?

There are more than two years before the US presidential election, and time is obviously too late.

Not to mention nearly two and a half years, even if it is only half a year, the American people can't wait, because the damage caused by the economic crisis in half a year is huge, which may cause more deaths and cause greater losses to the US economy.

After all, the Coolidge government's economic policy was generally laissez-faire, which is why the United States did not respond after the stock market crisis broke out.

What made Americans angry was not the huge losses in the United States during the economic crisis, but the fact that the US government did almost nothing during the economic crisis.

Like Britain and European countries, although their losses in the economic crisis were also quite serious, at least the governments of European countries did something.

Especially Britain, although the reputation of diverting the crisis seems bad, at least it effectively improved the living conditions of some British people, so that the impact of the economic crisis was not too great.

Let's look at the United States again. What did President Coolidge do during the economic crisis?

Not only did the United States not formulate relevant rescue policies, but it was laissez-faire for the stock market and economy, causing tens of thousands of companies and banks to go bankrupt, causing the US economy to collapse for a time.

The most straightforward point is that before the economic crisis broke out, the annual income of the American people was close to $700.

But after the economic crisis broke out, the per capita annual income of the American people plummeted to less than $200.

At present, tens of millions of unemployed people in the United States need a lot of food aid every day, which also causes some places where the government cannot help to continue to be born and die.

The First World War did not cause too many casualties in the United States. On the contrary, this economic crisis has caused the United States to suffer hundreds of thousands of deaths, which is also a point of anger for Americans.

On January 23, 1927, the review of President Coolidge's charges was held in the U.S. Congress.

More than half of the representatives agreed with President Coolidge's charges, which also meant that this person who once became president as vice president would also bid farewell to his political stage.

On January 24, 1927, the U.S. Congress removed President Coolidge from office in accordance with the law, and Vice President Charles Gates Dawes automatically replaced Coolidge as the new president of the United States.

But it is worth mentioning that this new president, who once proposed the Dawes Plan, had never held any public office before serving as vice president.

More importantly, he is not a member of the two major parties in the United States, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, which also makes the identity of the new President Charles somewhat embarrassing.

This person who was promoted from a wealthy businessman to vice president in one fell swoop, and finally became president by law, made a bold decision after thinking for a long time, that is, to voluntarily give up the position of president.

Of course, Hoover had been appointed vice president long before President Charles gave up his position.

This Republican who is popular with the American people is the new president that the Republican Party wants to elect, and President Charles undoubtedly understands this.

Although President Charles is also a wealthy businessman, his size is obviously not as big as the Republican and Democratic parties, nor as big as the huge financial groups behind the two major parties.

Rather than competing with these two major parties without knowing one's own strength, it is better to retreat bravely and create a good reputation for oneself, which can also make friends with these two major parties.

President Charles' resignation has caused the United States to experience multiple rounds of presidential rotation in a short period of time, but the American people have confidence in this.

Because the person who succeeded President Charles was the former Secretary of Commerce and current Vice President Hoover, who they had a good impression of and supported very much.

Regardless of President Hoover's reputation in history, in the United States today, Hoover is regarded as the savior of the United States. Americans generally believe that President Hoover can lead them out of the economic crisis.

After all, Americans see that President Hoover has demonstrated his ability during his tenure as the Food and Commerce Minister. He not only properly relieved refugees in the war, but also built the economy, which is very suitable for the United States in the current economic crisis.

The economic crisis in the United States is a lack of food and money. Isn't this exactly the task of the Food and Commerce Department?

In short, under such a complex dispute, Hoover still successfully became the president of the United States and smoothly controlled this huge country.

Hoover also received strong support from the Republican Party. The Republican Party has placed its hopes on Hoover to solve this economic crisis and win the next presidential election and midterm elections, creating a leading advantage for the Republican Party.

The continuous farce in the United States has naturally spread to the ears of countries around the world. To be honest, when Vice President Charles took over the presidency, Arthur was still quite concerned.

After all, Charles Dawes still has some ability, and his ability is at least much better than President Coolidge.

But after hearing that President Charles had resigned voluntarily and the new Vice President Hoover had successfully succeeded Charles as the President of the United States, Arthur was relieved instantly.

No matter how good Hoover's reputation in the United States is, it cannot cover up the fact that President Hoover is incompetent.

This ruler, who was called the incompetent president and the worst president in history, has a bad reputation in history because Americans have high hopes for him, coupled with his incompetent measures during the economic crisis.

But almost all of this bad reputation in the world was borne by President Coolidge, and the name of the Hoover bag was changed to the Coolidge bag, which is enough to show the hatred of the American people for President Coolidge.

If the American people knew that the President Hoover they expected was not as capable as Coolidge, I am afraid that the expressions of the Americans would be very interesting at that time.

In short, Arthur was relatively relieved that Hoover would become the President of the United States. This means that the United States during Hoover's term will still remain in chaos and there will not be much improvement.

Arthur was no exception to the matter of Hoover becoming the President of the United States. After all, which guy who can become the President of the United States is simple?

Those who can sit firmly on the presidency are basically the decision-makers supported by the two major parties and major financial groups.

Except for President Coolidge, who gave up early because of his bad reputation, other presidents are unlikely to be defeated during their terms.

People like Charles, even if the presidency falls into his hands, he will worry about whether he can sit firmly on the position.

After all, it is not so easy to be the president of the United States. If you anger some financial groups, the president may be assassinated the next day.

In a country that does not prohibit guns, the president is constantly being assassinated, and the order of this country can be imagined.

But the United States cannot ban guns for various reasons, which also means that the financial groups have various ways to check and balance the president, making the president their own decision-maker rather than the ruler of the country.

However, out of courtesy, European countries still expressed congratulations to the United States, congratulating President Hoover on becoming the new president of the United States.

Fortunately, when President Charles succeeded President Coolidge, the congratulations of various countries were being prepared.

Otherwise, it would be a bit strange and funny to congratulate two presidents in a row within a few days.

Although it is understood that President Hoover will most likely be rated as the worst president by angry Americans after a few years of inaction, just like in history.

But there is an exception to everything. No one knows what Hoover, who became president early, will do. It is still necessary to pay some attention to him.

Arthur specifically ordered some intelligence personnel of the Royal Security Intelligence Service in the United States to closely monitor President Hoover's actions, and to count and report the actions of the US government in the economic crisis at all times.

If the United States stays in the economic crisis for one more day, the loss to the US economy will be millions.

And the United States has experienced two extremely bad presidents, Coolidge and Hoover, which will inevitably make the American people dissatisfied with the government and aggravate the rift in the United States.

In fact, to be honest, the current United States has been well solved. As long as Britain and Australasia send troops together, the failure of the United States is a matter of sooner or later.

Because the industry and economy that the United States is proud of now have all entered the stage of collapse, and the finances are also very tight.

In this case, even if the United States fights on its own territory, it is very difficult to win a war of attrition with Britain and Australasia.

Coupled with the various conflicts in the United States, it is easy for the United States to collapse and split into several countries.

But the problem is that Britain now obviously does not want to start a war. After all, Britain has suffered great losses in the economic crisis. If it provokes a war with the United States again, Britain may not gain many benefits, but losses are inevitable.

However, if there is a good opportunity, the British will not miss the opportunity to significantly weaken the United States.

With this idea in mind, Arthur is also closely preparing for the armaments of Australasia.

On February 3, 1927, in a secret naval base in northern Sydney.

The atmosphere here is obviously different from the outside world. Not only is the port completely blocked, but no one is allowed to approach.

If you pull the perspective into the port, you can see that a grand ceremony is being held here, a ceremony for the launching of two aircraft carriers.

In this secret military port, two huge sea monsters are lying quietly in the port, with flags of the kingdom and the navy hanging on them, which can prove the ownership of these two huge sea monsters.

A large number of naval officers and soldiers are constantly boarding these two monsters. Many soldiers are looking at the two aircraft carriers with their heads held high while boarding the ship, with proud and proud looks in their eyes.

On the dock not far away, the military band is playing the songs of the Royal Navy of Australasia.

Defense Secretary Thomas bid farewell to Arthur with the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, boarded the two giant ships, and waved to Arthur from a high place.

Long before the naval officers and soldiers boarded the ship, Arthur had already given a speech to thousands of naval soldiers, encouraging the contributions of the naval soldiers and praising the style of the navy.

As the perspective zooms out, the full picture of the two sea monsters is also revealed. These two are the two latest aircraft carriers of Australasia. The larger one on the left is the Hercules-class aircraft carrier, named Hercules; the slightly smaller one on the right is the Hurricane-class aircraft carrier, named Tornado.

Watching the soldiers proudly boarding the warships, Arthur nodded, very satisfied with the gradual expansion of the navy.

With these two powerful aircraft carriers, Australasia's naval comprehensive combat power can definitely rank among the top three in the world.

Although the number of main warships is not as good as some powers, if a war really breaks out, it can even go head-to-head with the navies of other countries except Britain.

Of course, the specific performance depends on the combat effectiveness of the aircraft equipped on the aircraft carrier. If the aircraft can effectively deal with the enemy's battleships, then Australasia's naval combat effectiveness can be improved by another level.

These two aircraft carriers are the products of the last naval expansion plan, and the construction time has been nearly two years.

It is still too slow to build two aircraft carriers in more than a year, but after all, they are the latest aircraft carriers, so it is normal to need more time.

With the experience of building these two aircraft carriers, the speed of naval expansion will be faster.

When the naval expansion plan is completed, it will be the time for the Australasian Navy to travel around the world.
