Chapter 3464 A Member of Parliament

He was moved!

This moment gave Sneijder the strongest feeling!

He will never let go of this opportunity.

Besides, he did so many things just to draw "Colonel Charles" into his camp.

Now, this goal is within reach.

However, he also knew the worries of "Colonel Charles".

Especially when "Colonel Charles" said, "Once I agree to you, I will decide to be their enemy, and there will be no turning back for me."

A smile appeared on Sneed's face again: "Colonel, I want to tell you a story. Maybe you have heard half of this story. Colonel, do you know who the first female member of the U.S. House of Representatives was?"

Of course Meng Shaoyuan had an impression, but he couldn't call her name for the moment, so he simply shook his head.

"Janet Pickering Rankin." Sneed said the name: "In 1916, she won an at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from Montana and was the first person elected to Congress in the United States.

For a time, the whole United States was shocked by the appearance of this woman. However, Colonel, do you know how she was elected?"

Yes, it's this woman.

Meng Shaoyuan also knew that after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States caused an uproar, and the emotions of American citizens were instantly ignited. The "isolationist" thinking that had previously been mainstream in the United States was completely abandoned overnight.

As late as May 1941, nearly two years after the start of the European War, U.S. polls showed that about 80% of respondents disapproved of war with Germany and Italy. During the same period, Americans were dissatisfied with the prospect of conflict with Japan.

It is also very uncertain. In a Gallup poll in February of this year, only 39% of respondents supported going to war with Japan, while 46% opposed this option.

The attack on Pearl Harbor changed everything in one fell swoop.

After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, then-US President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a speech at a joint session of the 77th Congress of the United States, requesting Congress to declare war on Japan.

Unlike the lengthy discussions during World War I, this time the House of Representatives took only 40 minutes to begin the vote.

When it was Rep. Janet Pickering Rankin's turn from Montana, she stood up and said:

"As a woman, I cannot go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else."

This sentence not only made her the only member of both houses of Congress to vote against the declaration of war against Japan, but also made her the only member to vote against the United States' entry into the war in both world wars.

Immediately after Rankin finished speaking, boos erupted from the floor of Congress, and Everett Dilson, who later became a senator, led several congressmen in asking her to change her decision and make the declaration of war a formality.

The resolution passed unanimously, or at least abstained, but Rankin refused.

After the vote, Rankin was chased by some people and had to hide in a congressional phone booth until Capitol Police escorted her back to her office, where she was quickly inundated with angry telegrams and phone calls.

A telegram from her ever-supportive brother read: "Montana is 100 percent against you."

The chairman of the Montana Republican Party called on her to change her vote to restore Montana's honor and loyalty.

On December 9, a photo of Rankin trapped in a phone booth and calling for help appeared in newspapers across the United States.

Since then, Rankin's reputation has been ruined.

Could it be that this congresswoman is also related to "Glorious America"?

Randall cleared his throat and said: "Colonel, you probably have something in mind. In 1912, a respected lady in the organization I relied on believed that throughout the history of the U.S. Congress,

There has never been a female congresswoman. This is a shame for all American women.

The husband of this lady was a gentleman who loved his wife very much. He decided to help his wife fulfill this regret. However, you have to know that the United States at that time had doubts about the ability of women to govern. Especially in the

Mainstream society generally believes that women are not suitable to lead the United States forward.

As for this lady’s husband, let’s call him ‘Mr.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

Under the operation of Mr.

"

Meng Shaoyuan's brows knitted together tightly.

Before, he had learned how powerful and terrifying "Glorious America" ​​was.

However, it seems that he still underestimated it.

That was 1916.

Although the discrimination against women in American society is not as severe as it is against people of color, it is definitely not particularly friendly.

In particular, it has always been incredible to many people that a woman could be elected as a member of Congress.

If Randall is right and "Glorious America" ​​is the driving force behind it, then he still has not fully understood the strength of this organization.

Moreover, from another perspective, the United States claims to be a "democratic" country, but in fact politics is monopolized by those financial groups.

It is extremely difficult for a real civilian to get ahead in American politics.

"Sir, this is the real inside story of why Ms. Rankin was elected to Congress." Randall continued: "Now, can you imagine? Even a Congressman, the organization behind me, can control it at will,

So, what else do you think they can't do?"

Meng Shaoyuan was silent.

He was just like Randall before, smoking one cigarette after another.

This idiot finally took the bait completely.

But now, I can't be in a hurry.

I have plenty of time to play slowly with him.

Randall is not in a hurry.

At this time, he already felt that he was sure of victory.

He didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked. Meng Shaoyuan threw the butt of the cigarette to the ground and stamped it out with his foot. He seemed to have finally made up his mind: "If you want me to participate in such a dangerous mission, in addition to what you promised before, I must also agree."

I have a few conditions.”

"Say it, Colonel." Randall said calmly: "As long as it's not a particularly excessive request, I can agree to it."

"Not only do I need political status, I also need money." Meng Shaoyuan looked even more ferocious at this time: "A large sum of money is enough for me to live a luxurious life without doing anything.

Money, I think you should first understand the meaning of the word 'luxury'!"
