What is Donnie’s true strength?
In this world, probably no one knows it except Donnie himself.
Donnie doesn’t plan to let everyone know either, not out of cowardice, but simply because there’s no need.
Because only the unknown is terrifying!
The order from the Michigan State Court was conveyed to the strikers stationed at General Motors Factory Four.
At the sa ti, the Michigan National Guard also appeared at the first mont, taking over the security officers from Flint City’s Security Departnt, and began to manage the scene’s order.
But none of this intimidated the strikers, and since they clashed with the security officers the first ti and managed to break in, their emotions beca even more high-spirited.
More critically, they have what they perceive to be a stronger backing.
That is the tens of thousands of CIO mbers from Detroit, Toledo, Akron, and their sympathizers who gathered on the streets, ard with sticks, fire pokers, pry bars, and other tools, heading towards Flint City.
Such a massive protest instilled confidence in those present, convinced that no one in the United States would dare take responsibility for such a large crowd.
As for the joint statent from General Motors and Cadillac, adding the protesters to a blacklist with a promise never to hire them, no one took it seriously.
Because like Murphy, Simon Harrison, and others thought, without them, these factories would have no workers at all.
The mbers of the National Guard stationed at General Motors Factory Four were poised, faces solemn, as the standoff grew increasingly tense.
More and more people gathered here, and from a distance, it looked like a dark mass, like a stadium with tens of thousands of spectators entering for an event.
However, this ti, the situation with the National Guard differed from the earlier approach of the Security Departnt’s security officers.
They began to press forward, trying to intimidate the strikers and scare them into retreating.
But they forgot that these people were advancing continuously, and this march prevented those at the front from retreating even if they were intimidated by the National Guard.
At this mont, the National Guard had already started picking up weapons.
The protesters, on the other hand, were shouting slogans, attempting to use the weapons in their hands to boost their morale.
Seeing the situation on both sides, where a little spark could ignite a raging fire.
A person stood out among the crowd of protesters.
This person was not John Lewis, the CIO chairman, but the forr Deputy Secretary of the Labor Departnt, Hobart Martin!
Hobart Martin is now the chairman of the Automobile Union.
The General Motors workers’ strike was initiated by Hobart Martin.
Two years ago, Hobart Martin was still the Deputy Secretary of the Labor Departnt, and back then, Hobart Martin was a staunch supporter of Roosevelt’s New Deal, taking the bull by the horns.
But it was precisely for this reason that Hobart Martin beca filled with enemies in both political and business circles in the United States.
Franklin Roosevelt wants to be re-elected as President of the United States, needing to balance various forces.
At the sa ti, he needs to placate those forces.
Thus, Hobart Martin beca the scapegoat, removed from the position of Deputy Secretary of the Labor Departnt.
Of course, Franklin Roosevelt also secretly gave Hobart Martin quite a few benefits.
But simultaneously, while Hobart Martin is Franklin Roosevelt’s subordinate, it does not an this person has a good relationship with Donnie.
As the President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt needs the support of various forces.
There is no intersection and the relationship has never been good between Hobart Martin and Donnie.
This is because even before Franklin Roosevelt entered the White House, Hobart Martin had already been an active promoter of the labor movent in the United States.
So from beginning to end, he has stood on the opposite side of Donnie!
After stepping down from the Deputy Secretary’s position at the Labor Departnt, Hobart Martin imdiately ford the Automobile Union.
As the forr Deputy Secretary of the Labor Departnt, Hobart Martin also established good political relations.
In the Arican political scene, he is considered a person of prestige.
At this mont, him standing out and directly identifying his identity made the colonel in charge of the National Guard this ti, Belling Carroll, order the troops to halt their advance.
The system of the United States National Guard is such that the Departnt of Defense only has advisory rights and no command rights, the National Guard is directed by state governnts, directly led by the state’s deputy governor in charge of National Guard affairs, its main tasks are to maintain national and local governnt’s security interests, maintain social stability, and participate in disaster rescue according to the orders from the Departnt of Defense and state governors.
During warti, the federal governnt has the right to mobilize National Guard troops for active duty.
The National Guard’s funding is shared by the federal governnt and state governnts, the formal staff of the National Guard headquarters are both state governnt staff and National Guard mbers, they receive salaries according to the governnt administrative grade.
Most National Guard mbers are recruited directly from the local population and organized into various units.
That is, mbers of the Michigan National Guard are also citizens of Michigan.
Belling Carroll, being a subordinate officer, naturally knew about Hobart Martin’s situation.
Aware that this person has deep connections and influence in the federal and state governnts.
While they belong to two different systems, they also have to consider the other party’s influence on their side.
"Colonel Carroll, are you going to point the long guns in Arican soldiers’ hands at Arican citizens?"
