Herbert Hoover cautiously asked.
The two had so unpleasantness over this matter initially.
Donnie waved his hand and said, "Of course not, I have always supported the decisions of Mr. President!"
If Donnie had initially opposed Herbert Hoover’s signing of the "Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act," then now Donnie would practically raise both hands to praise God for Herbert Hoover’s decision.
Because in the past two years, United States Logistics utilized the relationships previously established by the bootleg alliance to rebuild the U.S. smuggling network.
However, this ti Donnie rejected the involvent of Mafia families.
At the sa ti, everyone in various levels of the U.S. governnt understood that this matter could not last forever and that sooner or later this damned tariff act would be repealed.
So everyone banded together to make so quick money.
Thus, the aftermath of the bootleg alliance would not arise.
But no matter how you look at it, the smuggling business has brought obvious benefits to Donnie.
Firstly in terms of profits, in the past two years, the smuggling business could bring Donnie at least 300 million USD in pure profit inco annually.
Secondly, it helped United States Logistics mitigate the worker losses potentially caused by international trade losses due to the tariff act.
Furthermore, due to the high profits of the smuggling business, even though United States Logistics already occupied the mariti routes, there would still be people willing to take risks.
Whether from Europe or the U.S., they all seek fortune in danger, thus strengthening the combat capability of United States Logistics in such a situation.
In fact, in the past two years, the U.S. and European smugglers organized no less than ten mariti interceptions, with so national military forces even erging during these battles.
These battles greatly improved the mariti combat strength of United States Logistics.
Now unless a country sends its structured naval forces, it would be impossible to compete with the mariti escort of United States Logistics.
Except for death, there is no other outco.
This is a reputation forged in battle.
Finally, precisely because of this reason, many European countries chose to reconcile with United States Logistics, providing mutual convenience, and cooperating together.
This allowed Donnie to make new connections with high-ranking European officials!
So now Donnie is truly grateful for Herbert Hoover’s signing of the "Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act."
Herbert Hoover pondered, uncertain how to persuade Donnie.
Donnie looked at Herbert Hoover’s deanor and said seriously, "Dear Hoover, you should trust that I sincerely hope you can be re-elected as the President of the United States.
It’s not only , even Morgan and the others think the sa.
But so things can’t succeed just because we want them to."
Donnie Block can now be said to be the most powerful individual in the United States, capable of achieving many things he desires in this country.
But this doesn’t an Donnie can single-handedly decide the candidate for President of the United States.
In the United States, there are countless different interest groups.
Broadly speaking, there are the two major parties, Republican and Democratic, and the issues between politicians and soldiers.
Various compromises and collaborations between businessn and politicians.
There are also issues between states and internal competition among party factions.
In the presidential campaign, everyone has their interests at stake, so while Donnie can significantly influence most people’s votes, nothing is absolute.
Additionally, Donnie is very aware that the strength of Venus Bank is actually built on the strong foundation of the United States itself.
In other words, if Herbert Hoover were to continue as President of the United States, he might weaken the country’s strength.
Therefore, Herbert Hoover’s aspiration for re-election is now impossible.
Ultimately, Herbert Hoover left Atlantic City disappointed.
Just after Herbert Hoover returned to Washington, he encountered another troubling issue.
The economic downturn led to a significant increase in unemploynt in the United States, simultaneously causing people’s lives to beco increasingly difficult.
Under such circumstances, even the U.S. veterans who had retired after World War I were collectively asking the White House and Congress for early disbursent of their compensation to overco difficulties.
However, both the White House and Congress explicitly rejected these veterans’ requests.
Thus, more and more veterans began to gather and march towards Washington, as the dia dubbed them the ’Bonus Army’!
Throughout June, thousands of World War I veterans poured into Washington from all over the U.S., so in covered wagons, so in trucks.
These veterans want the governnt to pay the "adjusted compensation" to them now, though Congress already voted to pay it in 1945.
The ’Bonus Army’s montum is growing, severely affecting Herbert Hoover’s campaign results.
anwhile, Douglas MacArthur, serving as the United States Army Chief of Staff, chose not to stand with these forr comrades.
Instead, he strongly stated that these veterans had ’red backgrounds.’
He advocated for a severe crackdown!
Since 1919, the U.S. had been trapped in fear of red backgrounds, and the series of bombings at that ti solidified this perception.
Thus, in the 1920s and 30s, the U.S. already feared anything labeled ’red.’
Regardless, any force that made them uncomfortable was undoubtedly deed red!
Douglas MacArthur advocated a hardline approach towards these veterans.
But soone believed these veterans were rely seeking their legitimate rights.
This person was Pelham Glasford, then the police chief of Washington.
Pelham Glasford found camping equipnt for these holess veterans, and showed full empathy!
This earned Pelham Glasford considerable prestige among these veterans.
"This is what I should do!"
Pelham Glasford said to those veterans thanking him.
"I too am a veteran from World War I, and once fought alongside you.
Of course, given my abilities, I couldn’t have procured so much camping equipnt for you.
So if you want to thank soone, thank Mr. Block!
He provided you with this substantial equipnt and sent truckloads of bread and drinking water here."
Pelham Glasford’s words spread among the crowd imdiately, eventually causing a strong sensation.
If there was a figure in these veterans’ hearts representing their totem...
Then Donnie Block was undoubtedly this totem.
Donnie Block’s company hired tens of thousands of veterans, and in the cities where Venus Bank was located, there were aid stations provided by Venus Bank, where veterans could receive bread and a bottle of water by showing proof of their World War I service!
The Atlantic City Post even reported this event specifically, providing data showing Venus Bank spent at least 15 million USD annually to assist these veterans.
In this era where every business struggles, what Venus Bank did made these veterans grateful.
Even if they couldn’t beco Venus Bank employees.
Pelham Glasford saw his speech received the expected result.
"Everyone, I hope you can get what you want, but personally, I don’t have that capability, so I can only help you this much.
But I hope everyone can understand one thing, you’re here to solve problems, not create them.
Moreover, if you really created problems, Congress would have reason to take action against you, so please be patient; we should believe Congress won’t disappoint you ultimately!"
The crowd fell into contemplation, hearing the helplessness in Pelham Glasford’s words.
"Mr. Ford, don’t worry, we won’t make things difficult for you!"
Soone shouted.
