  Johnson received Hardy’s support. It can be said that he has supported him the most since he announced his candidacy.

  Of course, he knew that Hardy had a purpose in supporting himself. If he can be re-elected, he must support Hardy’s career.

   Johnson did not reject this at all.

   even said that this is something that every U.S. president must do, and at the upper level, it has become a customary rule. If someone wants to break this rule, he will definitely be punished.

  Hadi bid farewell and returned to Los Angeles by private jet overnight.

  Johnson received such strong support from Hardy, which was a great boost to him, and his confidence increased a bit. After he returned, he began to make plans.

certainly,

  Before the lecture tour, he also planned to hold a White House reception, inviting all supporters to participate, and conduct a fundraising event.

  After Hardy returned to Los Angeles, he immediately summoned ABC TV director William Fox and Irina.

   "William, let the documentary production department produce a documentary about President Johnson, starting from several aspects such as military warfare, people's livelihood, diplomacy, and economy."

   “As for the content, the White House General Office will provide the text, and the film and television materials can be retrieved from the National Archives. The White House has already coordinated.”

  William Fox is also a savvy man. This documentary is obviously to praise President Johnson.

  Is the boss ready to support President Johnson?

  Hadi looked at Irina again, “Elaine, President Johnson will participate in your'Tonight Show' in a few days, and the White House will communicate with the TV station about the content of the interview. You are solely responsible for this matter.”

  "The president is going to participate in the show?" Elaine said with some surprise.

  Irina is a woman after all, and she does not have such a strong political sense. She is simply excited about the president's participation in her show. That is the president, the most famous person she has invited since the show started.

  "Don't worry about the boss, I will do it well." Elaine replied happily.

  Received an order from the boss, the TV station quickly formed a documentary team of dozens of people. Once the text provided by the White House Office was obtained, it was immediately ready to be produced.

  After being appointed as president, Johnson did a lot of deeds during his tenure. After he took office, Germany surrendered, the atomic bombing of Japan surrendered, Britain and France rebuilt, stabilized the world situation, various political administration, economic construction, and so on.

  I want to make a documentary with very substantial content, and because he is the president, there are a lot of video materials, so it is not difficult to make.

At the end of the documentary, Johnson also made a special appearance. He took a video in the Presidential Office of the White House, sitting behind the president’s desk, and made a summary of his work over the past few years, made plans for the next step, and finally looked forward to the United States. glorious future.

  The production of the documentary was completed. It was divided into three episodes, the upper, the middle, and the lower. It took more than four hours. President Johnson took the time to watch the documentary in the White House Broadcasting Room from start to finish, and finally expressed his satisfaction.

  You should know that it took only 5 days from the project to the completion of the production. It is very rare to be able to achieve this level.

  Two days later,

Wednesday.

  ABC TV broadcast the latest documentary during prime time, the upper part of "Glory and Dreams ~ President Johnson 1945".

  Play the middle and lower parts on Thursday and Friday.

  Many people watched the documentary and got a new understanding of President Johnson.

During this period of time, opponents deliberately discredited Johnson in the newspapers, propagating that Johnson was a lucky man when he came to power. He has limited abilities and did not make any achievements during his tenure. He did not do well in all aspects and listed many bad things. place.

  No president is perfect. You can find faults. If there is no fault, you can become faulty. You just need to change the angle of view.

  This ability is not a patent of the BBC.

  This documentary made many Americans see a lot of things they didn’t understand, knowing that Johnson has been working hard for this country and doing very well.

  Then ABC TV broadcasted an advertisement. Two days later, the president will participate in the "Elaine Tonight Show". At that time, all viewers can call the president to ask questions. Perhaps your question will be seen by the president and answered.

  Today, Elaine wore a slightly more formal OL women's clothing.

  There is a touch of dignity in the beauty.

  The studio can accommodate more than one hundred viewers, and the more than one hundred viewers are all carefully selected by the TV station.

  There are men and women, there are elderly and children, there are people in military uniforms, and there are Asians and Africans.

"Today is the guest we invited. His status is very noble, but he is very close to the people. Every one of us knows him, but we rarely get in touch with him. I think everyone already knows who it is. Mr. President Johnson."

  Johnson walked out with a smile, with a gentle smile on his face, which immediately drew warm applause from the audience.

President Johnson waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have attended many meetings and many speeches, but this event I participated in today is very special. To be honest, I have always liked the show tonight, and I have always hoped to participate in it. The show, today is a dream come true."

  The audience chuckled.

Elaine asked President Johnson to sit down and officially started the show. Elaine asked a few questions, all of which were prepared in advance. Johnson answered decently, with a bit of humor in the decent way, which made the audience watching the show, yes. The president's stereotype has been greatly changed.

  It turns out that the president is also very humorous.

  Many people feel a little more close to Johnson.

  Next is the audience’s question. An old man stood up and talked about seeing President Johnson make the reform of pension insurance. He felt very pleased and felt that he was protected.

  Johnson briefly explained the old-age insurance system, which is only a pilot and will continue to be implemented better.

  A soldier in military uniform stood up and identified himself. He is a retired soldier from World War II. He came here today in military uniform to express his gratitude to President Johnson. He participated in the battle in Asia.

When fighting against the Japanese, many of his comrades died. He felt that Johnson’s decision to bomb Japan with an atomic bomb was very wise. Otherwise, more American soldiers would die. Some people criticized Johnson for giving the bombing order, but it was the biggest one for the Americans. Maintenance, so thank him.

  As soon as the soldier finished speaking, many people applauded.

  Among them, there are soldiers and their families. Johnson's decision has indeed protected the soldiers of his country. Then this decision is the most correct.

  Followed by the off-site audience calling questions.

  Today, the TV station’s calls were blown up, and the 10 calls did not stop for a moment, and people kept calling in to ask questions.

   Elaine picked a few questions. Of course, these questions were also prepared in advance. It is simply too easy to deal with these little tricks.

  Johnson also answered the question perfectly.

  This show was very successful. Tens of millions of people across the United States watched tonight’s Elaine Show. President Johnson was either wise or humorous, which made many people’s perception of Johnson once again improved.

  Although there are only two waves of publicity, it has received excellent results.

  Not only ordinary people, but even some lawmakers, politicians and even members of the party have a new understanding of Johnson.

After the "Tonight Show" program, Johnson himself also had some feelings. He told the campaign team: "I think the previous way of straightforward reading of the manuscript was not liked by the public. You have also seen the effect of today's show, and people like it better. A president who speaks humorously, this will make them feel that I am closer to them."

  "When I give a speech in the future, I decide to give a speech off the draft. You only need to write down the topic, and I will add some humor."

The campaign team also agreed with Johnson's decision.

   Immediately afterwards,

  President Johnson held a fundraising dinner at the White House.

  The dinner invited all his supporters, including Hardy of course. At the dinner, under the introduction of President Johnson, Hardy met President Roosevelt’s wife. Although Roosevelt is dead, the Roosevelt family still has a lot of influence.

  After Roosevelt’s death, Johnson came to power and continued to implement Roosevelt’s New Deal. The Roosevelt family and Johnson became natural allies. In the recent elections, the Roosevelt family has always supported Johnson.

  Hadi also met other people, businessmen and politicians.

  At this dinner, Johnson raised a total of more than 6 million US dollars in campaign funds, and the largest sum of funds came from Hardy.

   US$2 million.

  Accounted for one-third of the total payment.

  Many people looked at Hardy.

Hardy said that he is an upstart in the upper class, young, handsome, rich, powerful, and in control of the media. In fact, many people are very curious about him, why he made so much money in a short time and owns so many industries. .

  Now, with the help of ABC TV, President Johnson's situation has changed significantly. You must know that there was no major media to support him before. Hardy's media group's support for Johnson is simply too important.

  Having six million campaign funds in his hands, Johnson was very happy. He made a decision ~www.readwn.com~ to conduct an "election expedition", preparing to speak all the way from the east coast to the west coast, and all the cities he passed through were to promote.

  What happened in the White House can be said to be hidden from anyone.

  As soon as the dinner is over, the situation and list of the night will soon be put on the tables of major consortia, big forces, and political groups.

  Hadi’s high-profile support for President Johnson surprised many people. Even within the Democratic Party, many people were not optimistic about Johnson. At the time, some people in the party proposed to let others participate in this election.

   Hardy’s performance this time is regarded by many as a very immature performance. A newly rich man who has made some money with some means and brains, but in the eyes of the real upper class, Hardy is a nouveau riche.

  Destined to lose this time is miserable, and even broke the blood.

  On the night Hardy returned to Los Angeles after attending the dinner, he received a call from Amadou Giannini, the chairman of the California consortium and the chairman of Bank of America.

"Hadi, you are a bit reckless this time. You did not discuss with anyone and publicly support Johnson. You must know that the strategy formulated by the California consortium is to support Dewey. If Dewey comes to power, it will be of great benefit to the development of the California consortium. "Gianini said angrily.
