There is no trend to ease the Great Depression, and the whole of the United States may really be over!

...

Similar scenes are staged in many places in the United States. The economy is already very bad, and the defeat on the field makes the atmosphere of despair even more permeate.

Given the current economic situation in the United States, holding large-scale international events like the Olympics is really a bit like a fat man. The Great Depression has been going on for nearly three years, and there is no sign of recovery. More and more people are unemployed, and more and more people are barely living with the little bit of relief food.

For example, Chen Qiang's opponent Eddie Tolan in the sprint competition, his whole family was unemployed. In history, Eddie Tolan won two Olympic gold medals. When he returned to Detroit, the Detroit government held a welcome ceremony for Eddie Tolan at the train station. After the welcome ceremony, Eddie Tolan just walked out of the train station and saw his younger brother picking up garbage on the side of the road.

In this bad economic environment, the US government hopes to divert the public's attention by hosting the Olympics. Moreover, if the US team can achieve good results in the Olympics, it can also strengthen the cohesion of the American people and enhance the people's self-confidence. This US government can have a better life.

At the same time, the Olympics are held, and there are also considerations for the presidential election. It is now 1932, and the United States will hold a presidential election at the end of the year, and the current President Hoover is also seeking re-election. Holding a successful Olympics can be regarded as President Hoover's political achievements.

There is no way, and the problem cannot be solved economically. You can only start from other aspects. Blowing out how awesome you are in other aspects is a common method for politicians.

So how to define a "successful Olympic Games"?

For the United States, a successful Olympic Games naturally means that American athletes win more gold medals, break several more world records, and crush Europe in terms of results.

However, the most popular track and field arena, which is also the strongest in the United States, is bad news every day.

On the first day, the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint was taken away by the Chinese, and the Chinese also broke the world record;

The next day, the gold medal for long jump was also taken away by the Chinese, who also broke the world record and also skipped the 8-meter mark;

On the third day, the gold medal in the 200-meter sprint was taken away by the Chinese again. The Chinese also broke the world record and even reached the 21-second mark!

This is a desperate three days for American track and field!

More importantly, since these three events are absolutely strong events for the US team, before the game began, the US media was also building up a large-scale momentum, praising the US team to win.

As a result, all three gold medals were lost. This sense of gap made the American people unacceptable. Didn’t the American team say that the American team is awesome? Why did they lose and lose to the weak China!

This is really the higher you praise, the harder you fall.

The economic crisis has intensified the contradictions in American society. In this pessimistic and angry social atmosphere, the failures at the Olympics have been increasingly amplified, and the public's dissatisfaction with the Hoover administration has also surged instantly.

It was also at this time that the governor of New York State stood up. To be precise, he should have "sitted" out because he suffered from polio and had no way to stand up, so he could only sit in a wheelchair.

Moreover, the man in a wheelchair also began to attack the Hoover administration by taking advantage of the failure of the US team at the Olympics.

The wheelchair man also plans to elect president at the end of the year. His opponent is President Hoover who is seeking re-election. So of course he does not want the Los Angeles Olympics to become President Hoover's political achievements, so he wants to shape the Los Angeles Olympics into the product of the failure of the Hoover administration, and even if he is spreading salt on the wounds of American people!

This man in a wheelchair needs no need to introduce him, everyone knows who he is.

...

Washington, the president's office, heard the president's anger:

"That cripple! He actually attacked me with such a thing! I am not an athlete, and it is not me who lost the game! Besides, if an athlete loses the game, what does it have to do with me? Those athletes are not trained by me! Why do I lose the game in the Olympics? I have to be responsible for the US president!"

If there weren't outsiders here, the US president really wanted to swear and swear.

In fact, President Hoover is also quite unfair. He sat in the White House and was worried about the Great Depression. As a result, after being attacked by his political opponents, he inexplicably wanted to take the blame for the US team losing the game at the Olympics.

"Mr. President, we all know that losing the game has nothing to do with you, but the people are easily misled. Moreover, New York has a lot of voice and often affects the country, so the current situation is not optimistic about us!" said an adviser, an important figure in the Hoover President's think tank.

"Then you say, what should I do now? Launch a public opinion offensive and fight a verbal battle with that cripple?" The president said with an irritable look on his face.

"No, Mr. President, what we need most now is to defeat that Chinese and win a gold medal. The Chinese have already won us three times. Only by suppressing the momentum of that Chinese will we launch a public opinion offensive will it be effective. Otherwise, even if we fight a public opinion war, we will not be able to show any factual basis." The consultant said.

The president nodded and asked, "Tell me what you plan."

"I just contacted Los Angeles and I knew that the Chinese would also participate in the 400-meter sprint. As long as our American athlete defeated the Chinese in the 400-meter event and then won a gold medal, we will have a factual basis." The consultant paused and continued: "I think the President should send a telegram in person to encourage the athletes of the American team and let them know the importance of this game!"

...

The White House telegram came to Los Angeles and the hands of the US Olympic delegation.

The head coach of the American track and field team came to the team members with a telegram with great enthusiasm.

"Young men, let me tell you a good news. Mr. President personally sent a telegram to encourage you! I hope you can win more good results for the United States!" The head coach paused and continued: "In addition, I also received a message that if we can win the gold medal in the 400-meter game, Mr. President will host a banquet at the White House to entertain us!"

"Can we go to the White House?"

"Can we meet the president?"

"The president will host a banquet to entertain us!"

When the three athletes who participated in the 400-meter team heard the news, they felt very energetic.

In the future, the champions of the four major American leagues, or the champions of the NCAA University League, will get the opportunity to visit the White House and host a banquet for the US president, which is also regarded as a great honor by athletes.

In the 1930s, professional sports in the United States had not yet developed to that level. For athletes, being able to go to the White House and have lunch or dinner with the US president was a great achievement.

At this time, Bill Carl only felt his heart surging, and he could not suppress the excitement that aroused in his heart.

"I'm going to make a gold medal in the 400-meter Olympics! This time, the Los Angeles Olympics is destined to make me Bill Carr famous all over the world!"
