Because of the arrival of Li Xiaoyu and others, when Li Junhao checked the Hoover archives, he consciously found out the information about the Communist Party of the United States. He was surprised to find that the Communist Party of the United States was founded in 1919. It was older than any other country in the world except the Soviet Union. Red parties in other countries are earlier than other countries, and they are officially registered and legal social organizations!
After 1935, due to the severe anti-fascist situation in the world, more and more American intellectuals and workers became aware. As a result, the Communist Party of the United States achieved great development. In 1938, it had 75,000 party members; and subsequently With the beginning of the European War in 1939, the Communist Party of the United States took advantage of the establishment of the World Anti-Fascist Alliance to vigorously promote the establishment of a broad popular front in the country. The number of party members reached 100,000, becoming the largest left-wing force in the United States.
The basic proposition of the Communist Party of the United States is to amend the electoral laws currently controlled by the democratic and Republican parties in the United States to allow more parties to participate in national elections; at the same time, the Communist Party of the United States opposes unemployment and aggressive wars, and believes that imperialism is a threat to world peace; The goal is to defeat state monopoly capitalism through peaceful means and advocate the easing of international tensions.
The central organ of the Communist Party of the United States is "Daily World" and its theoretical publication is "Political Monthly". Currently, they are all legally published publicly in the United States.
Of course, even so, Li Junhao had no intention of contacting the Communist Party of the United States, because he knew that this political party had no future. It was incompetent in writing and in military affairs. It was okay to study the theory, but if it was practical, forget it!
However, now that we have found this point, let’s continue to look at the few die-hard anti-communists in American politics, mainly the Dulles brothers and McCarthy!
The 53-year-old John Foster Dulles is currently the secretary-general of the Republican Foreign Policy Committee. He is known as an expert on German issues. Although he does not seem to be outstanding, his influence within the Republican Party is not small.
Huh? The 48-year-old Allen Dulles turned out to be the Western European Director of Donovan's intelligence team, and he was his subordinate!
Li Junhao remembered that after World War II, the elder Dulles served as Secretary of State and the younger Dulles became the director of the CIA. The two brothers were undoubtedly capable, but they had a firm anti-communist attitude and were the advocates and implementers of the subsequent Cold War. ...He was thinking about finding some excuse to kill the two brothers!
What made him a little regretful was that there were only a few pieces of black material about Dulles in the Hoover files, which were not strong enough, and there was no stuff about Dulles Jr., so it seemed that it would take some work.
As for Republican Joseph Raymond McCarthy, who was born in Wisconsin in 1908, he is still only a circuit judge in Wisconsin. Although he will set off an anti-communist wave and create white terror in the United States in the 1950s, he will not Now he is just a 33-year-old judge and cannot make waves at all.
However, in the Hoover files, Li Junhao saw that this guy had plans to run for Congress and enter politics, so he decided to "help" him and give up this idea! ——
On the afternoon of the 16th, Li Junhao moved to a manor villa in Baltimore, Maryland, 60 kilometers east of Washington. This was a gift from Aunt Martha to him when he returned to China.
There is nothing we can do about moving this time. All our friends are here. Villa No. 47 in downtown Washington is obviously not enough, so we have to change the place.
In the evening, a group of friends arrived. After meeting each other, they reminisced about old times. Although they were only separated for a few months, it felt like a long time ago for everyone. They were all very happy at the moment.
Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, and Pingru came together again. The sisters were so affectionate that they shed tears of joy, leaving Li Junhao speechless.
The dinner was a mixed meal of Western and Chinese styles prepared by the manor's chef team and Xiao Yu and others, so that everyone had what they wanted and had a great time.
After the meal, Xiaohu led the guards to inspect the entire manor and arranged to adjust the guard layout. This time the defense area was a bit larger. The construction area of three multi-story villas with one master, two auxiliaries, and two auxiliaries exceeded 2,500 square meters. There were also separate garages, machine rooms, Buildings such as horse galleries and warehouses are surrounded by a 3-meter-high circular courtyard wall. In between are beautiful gardens, lawns, and a small lake. The entire estate covers an area of more than 50 acres (202,400 square meters or 0.2024 square kilometers)!
Fortunately, Li Junhao brought all 150 personal guards, otherwise he would not be able to understand such a large territory. This manor had previously built a complete wall. At the six vertices of the hexagonal manor wall, there were six guard towers facing the outside. The entire manor was like a small city with its own defense system!
Including Xiaoyu, Xiaohu and other subordinates who had come to the United States earlier, everyone was amazed at the size of the boss's new home. When they heard about the position he currently held, they were all astonished. Such a boss is really impressive!
At this point, Li Junhao and his friends really started to take a vacation.
