v1 Chapter 435: A heated election campaign

In fact, it was the Democrats who imposed the ideological stencil and waved the moral stick everywhere. They agreed with the domino theory and believed that if they did not confront the Soviet Union on all fronts, the dominoes would collapse.

This is exactly what the Truman Doctrine stands for, on the contrary the Republican Party is a more pragmatic party.

This is the opposite of what the Republicans and Democrats stand for in the 21st century.

But McCarthy did, with the support of the Republican Party, attack the Democratic Party's foreign policy on the grounds of weakness toward the Soviet Union. This has something to do with the fact that the Republican Party has always been in an isolationist atmosphere.

At this stage, the Republican Party tends to encourage conservatives. In their view, in addition to abandoning America's obligations to the world, they also believed that relations with the East should be handled with a realistic attitude, and believed that once the external pressure disappeared, the Soviet bloc would be dragged down by internal contradictions.

At the same time, because of the shadow of nuclear war, the Republican Party hopes to make peace with the Soviet Union and reduce the intensity of the Cold War confrontation.

Eisenhower's eight years of conservatism are the embodiment of this idea. Later, some people criticized him for losing more in eight years than he gained in World War II. At this time, the Republican Party is actually more realistic.

In the 1960s, the fundamental exchange between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party occurred, and naturally there were a series of things to pave the way. Alan Wilson felt that Dewey, who was favored this year, was defeated by Truman as an important factor that led to the beginning of the Republican Party's transformation.

Even after Eisenhower came to power, the Republican Party began to return to realism, but the seeds have been planted. After the Eisenhower period, the Republican Party has completely transformed into what people see in the 21st century.

One of the two leaders of the current Republican establishment is Dewey, who is about to start a debate with his opponent. He represents the eastern establishment and is also a candidate supported by Boston. The other is Robert Taft, who just dropped out of the presidential race.

Robert Taft is a representative of the Republican conservatives, the eldest son of former President and Supreme Justice William Howard Taft, and has been the main opponent of Roosevelt's New Deal. After the death of President Roosevelt, he rallied conservative forces to successfully resist the power of unions. In foreign policy, he is one of the strong advocates of non-interventionism.

Naturally, he was also opposed to the Marshall Plan. Once Dewey came to power, it might have an impact on the Marshall Plan, but that was still unknown. If Taft came to power, he would definitely attack the Marshall Plan.

Dewey's disadvantage was his poor popularity within the Republican Party and his stern, rigid, calculated image.

However, after Taft had a debate with Dewey's rival Statham, he successfully sniped Dewey's opponent. Although he did not shake the strength of Statham and Dewey, he also helped Dewey from the side.

Now that Taft has dropped out of the race, conservative Republican supporters he represents have turned to Dewey's campaign.

Time is too late, too early is worse than coincidence. The debate between Dewey and Statham will be broadcast to thousands of households for the first time. Alan Wilson happened to hear it on the radio at the Boston Consulate on May 17th. , the debate between the two Republican candidates.

On the radio, the debate between the two Republican candidates, from economic policy, foreign policy to the direction of the United States, seems to be able to draw people into the tension between the two candidates.

"The current flood of Soviet ideology in the United States is rooted in the country's failure to play a better guiding role. What I want to say is that the American Communist Party should be declared an illegal party immediately..." Statham's voice came through the radio, in the Boston consulate. Echoes, I believe, have also appeared in the homes of countless American citizens.

"Huh?" Alan Wilson asked Wick suspiciously, "I remember you said he was a liberal candidate? Is that true?"

"Consul, this is really surprising." Wick also explained with a question mark on his face, "Congressman Statham has always had a very forgiving image."

"It may be to divide the conservative supporters of Taft behind Dewey." Alan Wilson chuckled, "We all know that these politicians have only fish-like memories and will overturn their previous remarks at any time. Since Taft dropped out of the election. , supporters are more inclined to Dewey, and now Statham has come up with more extreme remarks than Dewey, forcing Dewey to stand on a tolerant stand and dividing Dewey's approval rate."

This is not surprising. British politicians are also like this. The entire House of Commons is similar to a zoo, with chameleons one by one.

Just as Alan Wilson mocked politicians, Dewey's voice came from the radio, "You can't shoot down an idea, can you? We have to show concrete results that the Soviets were wrong, Instead of a simple and crude prohibition."

"Banning is a means of a dictatorship, and our democratic country has always decided not to publish it after a democratic decision." Alan Wilson listened to Dewey's blunt remarks and explained to Wick who was standing aside.

"Consul, shouldn't you say that?" Wick listened to Alan Wilson's unbridled ridicule, "You must know that politicians are elected by the masses..."

"Isn't this more proof of the stupidity of the public?" Alan Wilson tilted his head and said with a smile, "Actually, all of us understand that this country should be in the more appropriate hands."

"So what is the role of a politician?" Wick looked at his immediate boss, and hesitantly asked.

"Their role is to promote our achievements as propagandists." Alan Wilson Shi Shiran stood up, the result of this debate is already obvious, Dewey will not accidentally win the Republican presidential nomination, of course, this must be It will be officially announced after the Republican convention.

Both parties have come up with candidates, and this election has begun to move forward step by step in a white-hot direction.

Judging from the current situation, the election of the current President Truman on the Democratic side is sluggish. It is no wonder that public opinion believes that once the Republican Party convenes a convention and selects a candidate, it will be able to defeat Truman.

According to news from Washington, both the Democratic and Republican conventions will be held in Philadelphia.

Judging from the current news, the situation facing the Democratic Party this time is indeed very difficult. In addition to the fact that the Republican Party is making a comeback from the end of the war, the most important thing is that the Democratic Party is split.

More seriously, some liberal Democrats left to join Henry Wallace's Progressive Party, and Democratic leaders feared that this would significantly divide Truman's vote, ceding Northeastern and Midwestern states to Republicans.

Not to mention that the white southerners who had supported the Democratic Party since the Civil War did not share the same interests as the northern workers who Roosevelt fought for. It is no wonder that many people are not optimistic about Truman.

"Consul, from the point of view, the comeback of the Republican Party has become a foregone conclusion. Do you want to establish a friendship with the Republican Party?" Wick still tried his best to advise his superiors. He suggested Contact, Taft, Dewey and others.

"Those are the bosses of the establishment, this time we are looking for a more grassroots person." Alan Wilson shook his head and said, "Taft is the leader of the conservative faction, and his father is the president first and then the supreme leader. Judge, Dewey is the leader of the establishment faction elected by the eastern industry and commerce. It's too difficult to get in touch. We need to find a more grass-roots person to show goodwill. And before the result comes out, let's not say that the Democratic Party will lose in three years. That's what the former Churchill MP thought at first, but we all know that the great Prime Minister Attlee now leads the British Empire..."

Now that I meet Dewey, didn't Alan Wilson take the role of Chang Gong all at once? This is absolutely impossible. In the current situation, it is not impossible to show favor to the Republican Party.

But also consider Truman's feelings. If Alan Wilson is remembered instead of Chang Gong, it will definitely be a devastating blow to him now.

Compared with bigwigs such as Dewey and Taft, McCarthy has no partisan inclination. Compared with the previous two people, McCarthy is now the grassroots among the grassroots, and his reputation is also poor.

It is very suitable for developing a true friendship, and Alan Wilson will not let the other party suffer. If the other party is a friend, maybe there is a chance to guide the other party to avoid the gutter capsize.

All in all, this is the right time to start reaching out to McCarthy when the Republicans are about to launch their candidates.

The motive for taking the initiative to come to the door is too obvious, but now that the Republican Party is preparing for the election, McCarthy, as a Republican senator, will definitely help the Republican election~lightnovelpub.net~ This is his obligation as a senator.

It's just a matter of understanding McCarthy's recent public itinerary. Northeast New England and the Great Lakes region are traditionally supported by the Republican Party. Republican senators, including McCarthy, will definitely travel around during this time.

All Alan Wilson needs to do now is to wait and wait until McCarthy announces the itinerary for the election, and then wait for McCarthy in the cities of these two places.

During this period of time, Alan Wilson handled some diplomatic work at the consulate. In fact, he attended the reception and brought Pamela Mountbatten together to sing praises of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

Since this time, Alan Wilson has begun to contact some Republicans, who made Boston a traditional support area of ​​the Republican Party.

I have to say that it is very effective to bring Pamela Mountbatten. Now it is not before World War I. It is useless to have only one noble status, but if you have money and noble status, that is another problem. .

"My dear, I began to think that it must be easier for you to be a consul than me." Alan Wilson sighed sincerely.

"Oh, will you?" Pamela Mountbatten said with a pretense of restraint, "I've done everything, so there's no room for you to play. As a director's woman, I can't do that."
