Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 96: Running for President of the United States again?

"What can we do?" Roosevelt asked quickly.

"Run for election again and win re-election." Root looked at the other party seriously, and then said it word by word.

Roosevelt's body trembled, obviously shocked by Elihu Root's words.

Root said: "I know that this will inevitably arouse unnecessary public opinion, but the president has thought about whether our successors will continue to pursue our ideas and implement them. Of course, maybe they will implement them." , but don’t forget that Spain will change the rules of the game at any time during the drastic changes, and our policies may become obsolete by then. I know William is good, but in terms of age, he in 1857 was in 1858 You, who was born in 2010, cannot gain any advantage. On the contrary, I think if we do not support him and let him face Brian, who is now a minist, then it is very likely that he will fail, especially his " The "Golden Cross" speech has aroused the approval of many voters, including the Republican Party. If you do not run for the election, it is possible that the Republican Party's ruling position will be handed over to others. As you know, the Democratic Party has always focused on Domestically, this is absolutely contrary to the policies we implement." Root paused and said in a pleading tone:

"Hopefully the American people can once again have the leadership of His Excellency the President."

Roosevelt looked calm on his face but felt the opposite in his heart. Would he run for office again? There is no law in the U.S. Constitution that bars a person from serving two consecutive terms. And it's not that he hasn't thought about it. Just a few days ago, he had a conversation with his nephew Franklin about this issue. Franklin meant that as a Roosevelt family, every member of the family should be proud of this. Since the United States No president in history has broken the limit of only serving two terms and three terms as president, so why didn't Theodore Roosevelt bring this honor to his family?

But he didn't agree. Because of this incident, his relationship with Franklin became even worse. The guy even said that if he did not run for re-election, maybe he would join the Democratic Party instead of the Republican Party where his family had always been. Because of this, he also called Franklin a despicable boy and a traitor to the Republican Party. The relationship between the two has returned to its previous state of incompatibility.

Now even Elihu Root is persuading him in this way. Does he really need to break the history of American politics?

"What did he say?" Franklin Roosevelt has always been an ambitious man. Yes, although he has always been guided by his own dream and wanted to enter the Navy and become a member of the Navy, he also hoped to use this as a springboard to become a member of the United States. Member of zheng fu. However, he has never had the chance. His father was an active figure in American business and political diplomacy, which gave him a good foundation, and the presidency of his uncle Theodore Roosevelt brought him even more success. There are many conveniences, but due to his father's opposition and cousin's insistence, it has been difficult for him to enter the navy. The Republican Party has never expressed hope of helping him enter politics because his cousin is avoiding suspicion.

What's more, he is also a very independent person, so in his conversation with his uncle that day, he said a question that he had been thinking about for a long time, that is, maybe joining the Min Zhu Party should be a good choice. maybe. Yes, before joining, the prerequisite is how much influence you can gain in the Republican Party is the final swing factor.

"Consider it, but I think you have already guessed the result." Elihu Root has never felt so powerless as he does now. However, after thinking about it, maybe he is unfounded. Who knows, the latecomers will Can't change America's capabilities?

Sure enough, but it was better this way, so that he and his cousin wouldn't have to fight each other hand-to-hand. Contrary to Root, Franklin felt relieved.

"Have you decided to join the Democratic Party?" Rutte has no objection to this. In his view, interests are always paramount in the political world, especially now that the American society is dominated by the interests of interest groups. driving political dynamics. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party just represent different interests, but generally speaking, politicians such as the president still choose to stand on the side that has the most interests for Americans. After all, the votes are still in the hands of the voters. So he was not disgusted with Franklin's choice. On the contrary, he appreciated it even more. He even thought that it would be great if Theodore Roosevelt had the drive of his nephew!

"It should be so." Although Franklin thought that way, after all, he was facing a veteran-level presence in the Republican Party. Even in terms of prestige in the Republican Party, he was no less than his cousin. How could he have the nerve to say something he couldn't wait for?

"Whatever you want, the policy of the United States is to engage with America, Europe, and Asia. If it can be done, no matter whether you are in the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, there should be some big changes in national policy. What I can say That's all, young man, the future American dream will be created by young people like you, work hard." After patting Franklin on the shoulder, Elihu Root left a little lonely.

Looking at his back, Franklin was a little confused. Famous lawyer, district attorney, secretary of war, secretary of state, how many people can reach the position of remembering Root in life, but in the end they still leave with regret. Elihu Root especially improved the relationship with the Asian power Japan. Although he did not get the expected results in the Americas due to his relationship with Spain, the four South American countries did not open their arms to the United States, but he called Argentina. and the doorstep of Brazil and Venezuela. It even managed Panama, which was not long into the arms of the United States. This is enough for it to leave a strong mark in the United States.

While sighing at him, Franklin inevitably thought about himself and whether his choice was right. He didn't have much confidence, but isn't life just about spending every day trying? Forget it, since the Republican Party has no room for itself to display its abilities and life is short, does the Democratic Party hope to have it? He sighed.

On the American side, the issue of President Theodore Roosevelt's re-election arose due to Spanish policy. But on the other side of the ocean, in England, he was watching a movie. Yes, Edward VII of England was watching a sensational movie.

"Next, the Spanish Army troops are coming to us. We must introduce them in detail. They are brave and good at fighting. Each one of them is a veteran who has served in Spain's overseas forest territories for more than five years. What is now presented to us Although there are only 500 troops in the army, they are all elites among elites. They are all strong people who have survived the threat of death. I am very grateful for their contribution to Spain..."

"These are the troops at the Spanish military exercise?" Edward VII watched one troop after another passing by on the big screen, and he felt very solemn. Although I only saw vague and unclear pictures, some of the scenes I saw were enough to reveal more things that had never appeared before.

Spain, that is, the combat power of the Spanish army must not be underestimated.

"Yes, these are the Spanish troops that appeared at the military exercise," Adams, the British ambassador to Spain, replied quickly. "There are also many overseas warship exercises, but for some reason Spain did not film them."

"What do you think?" When Asquith heard this, he turned to Churchill and asked quietly.

"I think there should be some thoughts that don't want to be exposed." Churchill thought for a while and answered in an uncertain tone.

Asquith smiled noncommittally.

"What they think is that they don't want to really stimulate us." Edward VII happened to hear this and said.

Churchill glanced at him gratefully, and then his mind wandered over the answer.

"Spain's move this time is not small." Edward VII glanced at Churchill approvingly. He could feel that this young man was very eager to learn. He even had a premonition that this young man would definitely become a leader in British politics in the future. It was precisely because of this that he allowed Asquith to cultivate him so blatantly. He ignored him and looked at Asquith.

"Yes, Spain's actions this time will definitely arouse the attention of the world, and even our citizens will be shocked." Asquith also felt the pressure. As the British Prime Minister, he used to feel threatened by Germany, but now Spain's development has also It made him feel pressured. Not to mention the United States, it is a lurking lion that continues to grow teeth. It has not yet grown all its teeth. When they grow all its teeth, even he can't tell what the UK will encounter by then.

"Then how is your cabinet prepared to deal with it?" Edward VII glanced at the other party with some dissatisfaction, but his words did not answer the key points he wanted.

"I think if we had to, we would need that kind of policy?"

"But what about the people headed by the Rothschild family? Will they agree?" Edward VII frowned and then asked.

"Does His Majesty think that they have the right to choose?" Asquith asked, looking at Edward VII with a faint smile on his face.

Edward VII was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed. "I think they shouldn't have! However, how are the things negotiated with Spain last time going?"

"Jews?" Asquith asked uncertainly. Seeing the affirmative look in Edward VII's eyes, Asquith said: "Ready to start."
