The traditional vote bases of the Democratic Party such as California, Hawaii, New York, etc., and the traditional vote bases of the Republican Party are Texas, Arizona, and Tennessee.

This statement is actually not fixed, for example, California, before the 90s of the 20th century, was the traditional vote base of the Republican Party, but after the 90s, it changed and gradually leaned towards the Democratic Party.

The current president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, was born in the Democratic Party, and during the world war, Woodrow Wilson greatly brushed up a wave of existence with the "Fourteen Points", but during the Paris Peace Conference, isolationism and free trade in the United States rose again, so that the United States did not even join the League of Nations, and did not get the desired harvest in the negotiations with Germany, so the prestige of the Democratic Party plummeted, and the election fell all the way.

Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke in early October, which has never happened before in American history, and Congress is now considering amending the Constitution, but even if a resolution is made, it will be two or three years away.

No matter how much Ferdinand hated the Nyasaland Automotive Group, after the Nyasaland Automotive Group filed a lawsuit against Ferdinand in the Los Angeles District Court, Ferdinand still took the initiative to seek a settlement through an intermediary.

If this matter is not handled well, Ferdinand's political career may be over.

When Mike Carlisle received the message that Ferdinand wanted to reconcile, he was visiting Beverly Hills with Los Angeles Mayor Rock Hope.

Today's Beverly Hills is not the "most exclusive residential area in the world", it used to be full of pastures and farmland before gradually developing into a residential area.

After the '20s and '30s, Beverly Hills became the "home of stars", and the first to settle here was Glass, a film star of the silent film era? Fairbanks and Mary? Pickford, whose home was called "Pickfair", followed by comedian Will ? Rogers, Valentino, Prince of Silent Films, Tom? Max and other big-name stars have also moved here, and Beverly Hills has gradually taken on the scale and become a glittering city of dreams.

Mike Carlyle and Rock Hope saw Beverly Hills full of bean fields, and there was nothing surprising about it, and the famous Hollywood was also in the making, and the impressive row of white letters would not be erected until 1923.

"Hollywood is now gradually gaining scale, more and more people are coming here to shoot movies and settle here, those movie stars have money, it is very suitable for developing into a high-end residential area, and you can also build high streets, shopping malls, movie theaters, and other leisure and entertainment facilities—" Mike Carlisle first drew a big pie to arouse Rock Hope's interest, and then changed the conversation: "-Now that the economic situation is getting worse and worse, why can't we change our minds, I heard that Nevada is considering legalizing spinach, If we do the same in California, then we can make Los Angeles the West Coast, or the biggest casino in the country. ”

In 1931, in order to survive the Great Depression, the Nevada legislature passed a bill to legalize spinach, and Las Vegas became a gambling city, and it has risen rapidly since then.

Purely in terms of conditions, California has more convenient conditions than Nevada, and a city in the desert of Las Vegas can rise rapidly, and there is no reason why Los Angeles can't.

"Legalization — it's hard — " Rock Hope knows the charm of spinach, but pushing the state legislature to legalize it is not an easy task.

"It's man-made, and it depends on how much California's fiscal pressure is." Mike Carlisle is like a devil from hell, what kind of industrialization is engaged in farming, or the entertainment industry is quick to make money.

Locke Hope was obviously moved, but this kind of thing can't be done overnight, and Mike Carlisle is not in a hurry, planting the seeds first, and then waiting for them to slowly take root and sprout.

After knowing the news that Ferdinand wanted to reconcile, Mike Carlisle returned to San Diego from Los Angeles overnight, no matter how bleak Ferdinand's future is, and now he is still the governor of California, this face still has to be given.

What's more, the middleman Ferdinand found was Hoover.

Hoover and Ferdinand showed up early the next morning at the Nyasaland Automotive Group's California factory, citing an inspection that the California plant is the largest local company in San Diego and deserves the attention of the governor of California.

Even though the California factory covers more than 20 square kilometers and the U.S.-Mexico border is not walled, Mexicans can easily travel between the U.S. and Mexico.

"Yes, we at Nyasaland Automotive Group have always taken our workers very seriously, and workers must first be happy before they can put more energy into their work, so we have a sports field, a gym, a swimming pool, a billiards room, and a movie theater for our workers, which are also open to San Diego citizens." Mike Carlisle had a professionally mature smile on his face, and there was not the slightest disagreement with Ferdinand.

"That's good, then your workers must be happy, but Mike, why don't you leave these jobs to the Americans?" Hoover served the people with a face and always had the interests of the American people at heart.

It can be seen that the Nyasaland Automotive Group still has high hopes for the California plant.

Among other things, the environment of the California factory is indeed very good.

Different from the dirty mess of other factories, the road surface in the California factory has basically been hardened, the road is lined with specially transplanted landscape trees, the factory is divided into two parts: the production area and the living area, the production area has been built more than ten tall factories, each of which is hundreds of meters long, more than ten meters high, green spaces and gardens in the living area can be seen everywhere, and someone is responsible for special maintenance.

Because the ban has not yet been lifted, the workers in the factory do not seem to be in much spirits, but they are neatly dressed and hygienic in a way that even the Ford plant cannot do.

Assembly line workers really can't be too demanding.

"Cost – the wages of American workers are too high, the wages of workers in the Ford factory reach $5 a day, to be honest, we in Nyasaland Automotive Group can't do it, the high wages in the Ford plant are based on the exploitation of workers and suppliers, their workers work ten hours a day, and we in Nyasaland Automotive Group, workers only need to work up to eight hours a day, so there is definitely a gap in efficiency." Mike Carlyle admits that this is not facing reporters, and there is no need to create a saint character.

"But you just donated $80,000 to the Republican Party, so you're not short of money." Ferdinand is holding on to this question, it is not really a question of money or not.

Mike Carlisle and Hoover looked at each other, and their evaluation of Ferdinand was lowered by a notch at the same time.

Don't think that politicians are dragons among men, all of them are extremely smart, and there are actually many fools.

The most direct example, a certain king in the future, who understands the king, is a successful businessman at best, let him manage an office and make a living, let him manage a country, understand the king is really unable to do it, and his ability is seriously insufficient.

In particular, it is still a situation in which the United States has a strong military force and the world has been suffering for a long time.

Knowing what the king can do, I am afraid that he can only save some political capital for his daughter, and then let his son-in-law make money by the way.

"Mike, many people have this question, why can't the price of your Diesel cars be reduced, if the price of the Diesel cars is reduced to the same price as the Model T, then the sales of the Diesel cars will be higher." Hoover didn't ask why Mike Carlisle was donating to the Republican Party, he asked if some idiot had screwed everything.

Regarding the price of Diesel cars, it is indeed a tangled question.

Mike Carlisle also considered using price cuts to compete with Ford.

However, it does not seem necessary now, the production of Diesel cars is not enough to compete with Ford, and after the production of Diesel cars is raised, Mike Carlisle will consider cutting the price of the Model T.

Otherwise, even if the price of the Diesel car is reduced to the same price as the Model T, the lack of production will not be able to occupy the market.

"Our goal is not to beat Ford, the United States is a huge market, no company can monopolize it, we want to maintain this market with Ford, produce different cars, meet the needs of different people, this is our purpose." Mike Carlisle quietly praised the United States again.

Hoover actually didn't care about the competition between Nyasaland Auto Group and Ford, and he came to San Diego for a purpose this time, although in the California election, Nyasaland Auto Group has been forced to take sides, but in the U.S. presidential race, Nyasaland Auto Group is still waiting.

Hoover made a national speaking tour, itself raising campaign funds.

Arriving at the office of the California factory, Mike Carlisle and Ferdinand finally went head-to-head.

"If you had expressed your support for me earlier, there would have been no such thing as a ban, the general election is the general election for all Americans, and no one can stay out of it." Ferdinand is still arrogant.

"Sorry, we're a British business—" Mike Carlisle pushed back.

"But if you're in the United States, you have to follow the rules of the United States." Ferdinand was extremely entangled, eighty thousand dollars, and just gave it to his competitors-

Ferdinand felt like his heart was bleeding.

"All right, gentlemen, don't dwell on these verbal battles, Mike, you have to withdraw the lawsuit immediately, Mr. Governor, you have to lift the ban right away, if you still want to be re-elected." Hoover was impatient, he was going to give a public speech in Los Angeles tomorrow, and he really didn't have time to dwell on this.

ps: The weather is finally cooler, and the speed of the code words is much faster-
