Chapter 802: Capitol Hill Special Meeting

Some people say that the rise of the United States was because of the great fortunes of World War I and World War II.
In fact, it is not completely correct. As early as 1894, the GDP of the United States exceeded that of the United Kingdom, and in 1911, the total industrial output value accounted for 36% of the world's total.
Germany ranked second with 16% and Britain with 15%, after which World War I broke out.
In fact, the rise of the United States has a certain relationship with the war. The political system and tolerance, as well as the two wars away from the homeland and allowing a large amount of capital to move in, are all reasons for its strength.
But it is all a bit self-deceiving to be attributed to the "war money".
In fact, whether supplies of war materials to warring countries during the war are counted as war money will never be conclusive.
Take World War II as an example. Without the support of the industry and resources of the United States, it is still unknown whether Britain can sustain the United States in the war.
There is also the support of China and the United States in all aspects in the later period, which also plays a key role.
At this moment, Li Zitao was on Capitol Hill to attend a special meeting due to the outbreak of the Depok Campaign.
Roosevelt said a lot at the meeting, and used the Capitol to be burned in 1814 to persuade Congress to abolish the embargo clause.
"The above statement to you is just a review of history, but if America still insists that this war has nothing to do with us, it has nothing to do with people, freedom, and justice, and terrible things will eventually happen in the future."
Both inside and outside Congress are watching this debate, whether the abolition of the embargo clause is closely related to everyone's life and safety.
People with negative attitudes worry that by doing so, America will be dragged into the quagmire of war unconsciously.
But those who agree with the opinion have their own reasons and have different reasons.
Some people want to find business opportunities in the war, some people think that this is respect for the constitution, and some people think that the United States should take the opportunity to rise and quarrel inside and outside Congress.
"The meeting was temporarily closed, and the result was announced 40 minutes later." The loud noise on the scene was suppressed, and the parliamentarians either gathered together to discuss after changing seats, or walked side by side in groups to the lounge.
Li Zitao also left from an inconspicuous position in the back row and rushed towards the corridor where Roosevelt disappeared.
"Your Excellency President, your speech just now was wonderful, and I think lawmakers will agree with what you see."
As soon as he reached the door of the lounge, Li Zitao heard a slightly familiar voice.
"John, I heard that you have just finished your trip in Rome and received the blessings of Pius XII?" Roosevelt smiled full of excitement.
"Yes, I have a very pleasant exchange with the Pope, he is very kind, and I learn a lot from him." John Kendy said.
"Roosevelt, my friend, is there anything interesting to share?" Li Zitao pushed open the half-covered door and walked in with a smile on his face.
When he saw him, John Kendy's expression changed several times.
Li Zitao didn't seem to find it all, and nodded to him with a smile: "Oh! Isn't this the John the Kennedy's little boy? How about, have you finished your studies?"
"It's almost there, thank you for your concern, Mr. Charlie." John nodded indifferently.
"Well, although your father has done some ridiculous things, I will not be angry with you... maybe you should call me uncle, haha..."
Li Zitao laughed and patted his shoulder, only to see John's teeth grin and drop his shoulder, he knew it didn't feel good.
Seeing his scornful expression, Li Zitao nodded contentedly and asked Roosevelt about his future plans.
"If Congress agrees to lift the embargo, I will contact my friends in the UK...Charlie, I hope you can help them."
Roosevelt murmured worriedly: "Chamberlain's stubbornness and prejudice ruined Eastern Europe's last chance,
In front of the little man, the wavering representation of the British and French representatives helped Ye Xin of NCism, 35 years of open conscription, and 36 years of Rhineland,
In 38 years, he achieved the vital Austria, and at the same time he got the Sudetenland area, with enough troops,
Now he has the Czech Republic, Europe's strongest industrial country, and now he is targeting Poland again, and he is about to succeed. "
Roosevelt clenched his fists, his eyes narrowed with wise light, saying, "The Soviets have already acted, and the situation in Europe will become weird and weird,
Chamberlain has now lost his last chance to cooperate with the Soviets. If his government still controls the country, it is difficult to imagine what will happen in the future? "
"Your inference is a bit serious." Li Zitao looked at him with understanding.
Was he suggesting that he would intervene in British politics and let Chamberlain fall?
Five days before the congressional special meeting, the Soviet government submitted a statement to the Polish ambassador to Moscow.
"The Polish government has collapsed and is unable to maintain national stability and political conditions~EbookFREE.me~ This also proves that the sovereignty of the Polish state and government no longer exists.
As a result, the treaty concluded between Supo was invalidated, and Poland became a dangerous place that could threaten the Soviet Union and create chaos and accidents.
In view of this, the Soviet Union, which has remained neutral so far, can no longer treat this complex and dangerous situation with a neutral attitude. "
"The Soviet government will be living the compatriots in Poland, the fate of the Ukrainian and Belarusian people, and they cannot take an indifferent attitude, these compatriots have been abandoned,
Their living environment and lives are being threatened. In view of this situation, the Soviet government will order the troops of the Soviet General Command to cross the national border to protect the lives and legal wealth of residents of West Ukraine and West Russia. "
In the early hours of the same day, the Soviet army crossed the border to march east of Poland, not only in West Ukraine and West Russia, but also across the Cousson Line.
According to the last news obtained before the start of the meeting, the area of ​​Poland occupied by the Soviets reached 170,000 square kilometers, involving a population of about 10 million.
At the same time, the Soviet side actively operated in the two countries that were "protected" to promote the establishment of the Soviet regime. Its purpose is self-evident, and it is to integrate them into the Soviet Union.
"No, this is the truth, Charlie... Not only did I see it, but someone in the UK also saw that he was my friend, we passed many letters,
Through communication with him, I will learn more about the changes and situations in Britain and Europe. "
Roosevelt was very worried about the current political situation in Britain. From the bottom of his heart, he did intend to find a suitable way to influence its direction.
Li Zitao also probably understands who he is talking about. One of the big three in the future, a close friend and pen pal of Roosevelt, keeps a life-long hostility against the red regime.
