#306. Show me the hot taste first.

Joseph, who had been unable to come to his senses for a while, shook his head as if trying to come to his senses and then opened his mouth.

“Is that really happening? Our American society being controlled by Jews?”

It seemed to Joseph that it no longer mattered what happened to Palestine.

Rather, Lee Kang-cheol’s words were more shocking.

Jews were clearly a minority and were even discriminated against as a people of color when they were young or young adults.

Of course, this discrimination almost disappeared during the World War II period.

But how can such a Jew come to dominate America?

“Why? Don’t you think so? Why don’t you take a cool-headed look at American society today? Is there any field in which Jewish Americans aren’t making significant strides, whether it’s government, business, or academia? Since Frank began to appoint Jewish Americans, there must already be a significant number of high-ranking officials in government who are Jewish? Why not?”

“… … .”

Joseph couldn’t argue.

Because that’s what happened.

It was during the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt that Jewish high-ranking officials began to appear in earnest.

Roosevelt first started operating a think tank to overcome the Great Depression, and many of these people were Jews who already dominated Wall Street at the time.

Even the person appointed as Secretary of the Treasury at this time was Henry Morgenthau, Jr., an Ashkenazi Jewish American, the first Jewish person in the line of succession to the presidency in American history.

In any case, because of this situation, Roosevelt’s New Deal and modified capitalist policies were called the Jewish Deal policies, but even at this time, they did not dare to the extent of despising the power of the American president.

In the original history, even the great Henry Morgenthau Jr. was kicked out by Truman.

But it was different in the days of Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.

Because it’s the 1960s now.

“What should I do? Castration, even now… … .”

“Joseph.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Are you crazy? What do you mean by castration now? It seems like you’ll end up being castrated.”

“Ah, no… … .”

“Don’t talk nonsense. There are real chances that you’ll end up in one room.”

“Then what do you want me to do?”

“What? Just accept it. They are Americans, Americans. And successful Americans! Where is the saying that Americans castrate Americans? And you are a member of the Democratic Party, which many Jews supported. What are you talking about?”

“That may be true, but… … .”

“Joseph, recognize that the world has changed. Jews are no longer a minority in America, but are simply included among the white race.”

“… … .”

Still, Joseph seemed to have a very difficult time accepting it emotionally, which was not unreasonable.

Although Joseph is said to be a young president, he is still in his mid-40s.

As someone who spent his childhood in the 1920s and began his youth in the 1930s, it cannot be said that he had no prejudice against Jews.

Moreover, his father, Senior, was clearly anti-Semitic.

Joseph Jr. himself visited Germany under Hitler’s rule in the 1930s at his father’s recommendation, and in a letter he sent to his father, he praised the Nazis’ sterilization policy and praised Hitler’s spirit.

Of course, such information was not revealed at the time, but Lee Kang-cheol knew such facts and thus had some idea of ​​Joseph’s disposition.

“Let me give you a piece of advice. Joseph, if you have any prejudices about race or ethnicity, get rid of them. Or, live your life completely hidden.”

“What did I say? I’m just confused because the world has changed a lot since I was growing up.”

“Shut up! Where are you looking? I can see right through you.”

“Do you see that?”

“Yes, at least I can see it. So don’t talk nonsense. It seems like you got away with it during the election, but if you feel safe while in office, you’re in big trouble.”

“Whew! You really can’t fool me, sir. I’ll keep that in mind. And I’m not a racist or anything. I was a child and thought similar thoughts for a while, but I’m not anymore.”

“That’s none of my business. Anyway, be careful.”

“I understand. But that’s that, and it’s not acceptable for people of a certain ethnicity to be loyal to their ethnicity rather than to the United States. Our country was born from immigrants. If we continue like that, the foundation of our country will be shaken.”

Joseph spoke as if in protest, and he was absolutely right.

“You are absolutely right. That is wrong.”

“Then I can’t just sit still, right? What should I do?”

“Don’t overthink it. It’s not something you can do anything about.”

“Ha, so does that mean there’s nothing I can do? My successors to the presidency will also have to constantly be pressured about Israel like I was? No, it won’t be comparable to now, right? In the future, that is.”

“No, that’s not true. Shouldn’t you cut that off to some extent?”

“Me?”

“Then who will do it? Your next president? By then, the balance of power will have already tilted in your favor?”

“… … .”

“During Frank’s time, they didn’t dare raise their heads. Then, during Harry’s time, they tried to raise their heads, but they had no justification and still didn’t have the power to stand up to Harry. That’s why they didn’t do anything too vindictive like the Morgenthau Plan.”

“I only found out about that plan after I took office. Morgenthau wasn’t in his right mind.”

Henry Morgenthau Jr. was originally a historical figure who served as Secretary of the Treasury during the entire Roosevelt administration and had a tremendous impact on world history, not only during the Great Depression but also during and after World War II.

But the policies he pursued to save his own Jewish people during World War II were quite excessive.

It was understandable that throughout the war he tried to rescue Jewish refugees, and that he rescued hundreds of thousands of Jews and allowed them to enter the United States.

Because they were Morgenthau’s own people, and also because they were in dire straits due to Hitler’s Holocaust.

However, he used his position to his advantage by harboring an enormous hatred for Hitler and Germany, who had slaughtered his own people.

And so the result was the Morgenthau Plan.

The plan, which he had been working on since January 1944, was entitled “Proposed Post-Surrender Program for Germany.”

But this content was enormous.

Not only did they tear the defeated Germany apart, they also wanted to completely dismantle its heavy industry base and turn Germany into a country that could only engage in agriculture and livestock farming forever.

As a Jew, it was something that Morgenthau could think of, but it was not something he would do as the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, so naturally he was met with tremendous opposition.

Nevertheless, Morgenthau pushed ahead with this project with great persistence, and when word of the plan was leaked to the press in September 1944, the Allied forces faced tremendous resistance from the German army.

Let’s think about it.

Even if it is a war that they started, which side will show more resistance? When they hope that if they surrender at an appropriate level, they too can return to their homeland alive and live in peace again, or when they think that if they surrender, their homeland will be completely torn apart by the victors and they will be destined to farm and raise cattle forever?

This is something that is not surprising.

Naturally, when this plan became known to Germany, the German army began to resist fiercely. Roosevelt’s son-in-law, Lieutenant Colonel Boettiger, who worked in the War Department, even believed that the knowledge of the Morgenthau Plan to the German army had the effect of increasing the number of German divisions by 30.

Yet Morgenthau persisted in this plan with, as some have said, an almost medieval sense of revenge and hatred, and it was obvious that such an absurd plan would not survive to the end.

The Allied Powers had already experienced the negative effects of the Treaty of Versailles.

In any case, the original history changed a lot with the appearance of Lee Kang-cheol and the expeditionary force. Roosevelt, who had regained his health thanks to Lee Kang-cheol and had learned the future flow to some extent, did not even look at things like the Morgenthau Plan.

Moreover, as the threat from the Soviet Union was emerging and being emphasized, German unification was maintained, so Morgenthau’s barking was of no use to anyone and naturally went unnoticed outside.

It just became a case of the finance minister within the administration being blinded by revenge and talking nonsense for a while.

“Well, Frank said he was so dumbfounded that he didn’t even look at it.”

“Of course. Anyway, if their power continues to grow, there is a possibility that a second ‘Mogenso Plan’ will come to fruition someday. We must prevent that from happening.”

“So what I’m saying is, this time, you should cut it off properly.”

“How? As you know, my father is known to be an anti-Semite, so I don’t have much room to maneuver. I had a hard time in the election because of that.”

This is why Joseph is troubled by this matter.

Because of his father’s anti-Semitic past, he had a hard time during the elections, and since then, he has always had to take a step back when it comes to matters related to Jews.

“This time it’s a little different. There’s a reason, a reason. They can pressure you from behind, but they can’t pressure you openly.”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“At least this time, it’s right to respond strongly. This is also related to future world peace. And maybe 20 years from now, but not now. As long as you have a justification, they won’t be able to resist strongly. Even if they do, ignore them. You are the president of the United States. The United States, the most powerful country in the world.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. And don’t think you’re alone. The establishment of Israel in Algeria was a decision made by the United States together with Britain. Ask Britain for cooperation in this matter. They’ll probably be very upset, too.”

“Yes, I said it was something that was hard to accept. It seems like they couldn’t actively deal with it because of us.”

“That’s right. I’m a little annoyed too. Seriously, I gave you the best place to build a country in Uganda, so what kind of nonsense are you doing? Anyway, those religious crazy guys are just… … .”

“… … .”

If you are a true fanatic, regardless of religion, Lee Kang-cheol is the one who grinds his teeth.

I guess I got a little excited after that.

“Ahem! I guess I was a bit too expressive.”

“No, hehehe!”

“Why are you laughing?”

“no.”

“Anyway, yes, an alliance is an alliance, but let’s also actively utilize the UN in this case. Isn’t it clear that they have violated the UN resolution?”

“you’re right.”

“We will give you not only our UN shares but also all of our Asian shares, so put the UN at the forefront!”

“All right.”

“And warn Ben-Gurion. Tell him that if he acts foolishly, we will cut off all support. No, let him taste the heat first. Cut off some support first. Those damned bastards are starting to look like they can live a little better now, so tell them to get in between Morocco and Algeria and do well. If you, the United States, and our Republic of Korea work together to impose sanctions, there won’t be many countries on earth that can withstand it. If they don’t listen, we will join in the sanctions!”

“Is that okay?”

“okay.”

“Hahaha! Thank you.”

Only then did Joseph’s face brighten.
