Theodore Roosevelt’s father was a renowned importer and banker, which made the Roosevelt family one of the most famous in the United States, possessing wealth beyond the reach of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all this changed with the start of the economic crisis. The export-import industry and the financial sector, which the Roosevelt family was substantively involved in, were hit hardest by the crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This crisis caused significant turmoil for the Roosevelt family, almost leading them to the brink of bankruptcy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were not for the connections President Roosevelt left for the family, the Roosevelts might have dissipated into the annals of American history like those bankrupt tycoons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, the life of Theodore Roosevelt’s nephew, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was also somewhat affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, with the connections of the Roosevelt family, not only was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s work unaffected, but his income also exceeded that of the vast majority of Americans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, the future illustrious President Roosevelt was still an ordinary lawyer in New York. Because he had suffered from poliomyelitis a few years ago, sometimes his wife would attend Democratic Party meetings in place of Roosevelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If history had not changed, Roosevelt would become the Mayor of New York in a year and would propose the New Deal during the next presidential election to secure the presidential position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this world, all of that was clearly impossible now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In January 1927, on a rather ordinary day, Franklin D. Roosevelt received an unexpected guest—his old Democratic Party friend, John Slickert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John? Buddy, what brought you here?\" Roosevelt asked with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Roosevelt, John Slickert was a Democrat and they often met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since the economic crisis broke out, John had been busy handling his own import-export company and shouldn’t have had time to see Roosevelt, which was the cause of Roosevelt’s surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, can’t I come to see my old friend?\" John asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, you can. Please, take a seat. Who is this?\" Roosevelt noticed the young man following behind John and inquired curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was only in his thirties and was not old enough to have such a grown son. A young man who would accompany John everywhere was likely an intimate subordinate, if not his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before John could explain, the young man stepped forward, shook hands with Roosevelt very amicably, and said with a smile, \"Allow me to introduce myself, respected Mr. Roosevelt. My name is Ike, a royal intelligence operative from the British Empire, and my mission is— to send you to meet God!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the young man finished speaking than he swiftly pulled out a handgun from within his coat and fired several shots into Roosevelt’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop! Pop! Pop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and neither Roosevelt nor John had time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, what have you done?\" Looking at Roosevelt lying in a pool of blood, John finally came to his senses and exclaimed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you can see, Mr. John. With meticulous planning and your help, we have successfully assassinated Mr. Roosevelt,\" the intelligence operative named Ike said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck! What’s this got to do with me? We only agreed that I’d introduce you to Roosevelt,\" John said, panicked. He was indeed just an ordinary member of the Democratic Party, with a small family business, but that didn’t mean he could face down the law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Roosevelt family’s fortune was immeasurably larger than his, and Roosevelt’s uncle had even been President of America. They weren’t even on the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think those police will believe you?\" Ike asked with a smile, \"They won’t care whether you’re innocent. Unable to placate the Roosevelt family’s anger, you’ll still end up as the scapegoat in the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, what grudge did Roosevelt have against you? Assassinating a lawyer in New York, my God, this is indeed madness!\" John said, nearly breaking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to blame anything, blame the fact that he was an obstruction to us,\" Ike said with a smile. \"Now, my dear Mr. John, are you going to get in my way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the gun Ike was subtly raising, John swallowed and ultimately surrendered to his inner choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what do we do now? If the police find us, there’s no escaping,\" John said, a bit nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching a murder unfold before his eyes had John, who usually found joy in squeezing his employees, extremely agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled slightly, revealing his obvious nervousness and panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enjoy exclusive content from NovelBin.Côm\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush, the person should have arrived by now,\" Ike said leisurely. He took out a cigar from Roosevelt’s pocket, used the scissors beside the desk to trim it gently, and then lit it with a lighter from his pocket. He took a gentle puff, exhaled a cloud-like smoke and slowly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Who has arrived?\" John felt bewildered, not understanding the meaning of Ike’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>",905,"2026-06-06T09:31:57.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","e6066e897f5f3c936f11fc6dc4b8e36f0bca53b0976335ded21cb86b91a20bd8","the-rise-of-australasia-chapter-897","the-rise-of-australasia-chapter-895",1367,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-rise-of-australasia-cover.jpg"]
