Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

On November 5th, the US general election begins.

The election date in the United States is like a tongue twister, stipulating that the election must be held "on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November."

Before the mid-19th century, each state determined its own voting date for U.S. elections.

It was not until 1845 that Congress considered it necessary to hold elections on the same day across the country and legislated to determine the date of the general election. The date chosen by members of Congress at that time was purely based on economic and religious considerations and had nothing to do with politics.

In the 19th century, the United States was still an agricultural society, and farmers' work and rest were the priority. Farmers are busy sowing in spring, irrigation and weeding in summer, harvesting in autumn, and it snows in winter to prevent them from going out. Therefore, early November, when the crops have been harvested, the rainy season has passed, and the snow season has not yet arrived, is considered the most appropriate time to hold elections.

When members of Congress considered election dates, they first excluded Sundays because people attend church on Sundays. Since the main means of transportation at that time was horse-drawn carriages, rural residents traveled long distances to the city to vote in horse-drawn carriages. The round trip usually took two days, so Saturday and Monday were also excluded because if there was an election on Saturday, people might not be able to make it on Sunday. He went home to go to church; and because he went to church on Sunday, he was unable to arrive in the city to vote on Monday. Wednesday is the fixed weekly market day in many towns. People are busy going to the market and are not suitable for holding elections. They cannot rush to the city to vote on Thursday. Friday is the last working day of the week and not suitable for elections. Therefore, only Tuesday is the best day of the week to hold a national election.

So why is it like a tongue twister to stipulate that the general election must be held "on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November" instead of simply stipulating that the first Tuesday in November? The reason is also based on religious factors. Because November 1 is Halloween, an important religious festival in agricultural societies, it is not suitable for holding elections. In order to avoid November 1st falling on a Tuesday, the Tuesday after the first Monday was stipulated, completely ruling out the possibility of holding an election on November 1st.

It may be that he was completely disappointed with Roosevelt and the Democratic Party, or it may be that Yannick's words that Roosevelt wanted to be re-elected as president for life scared the American people; Roosevelt's vote share plummeted, and in the end the Republican Wendell Wilkie won an overwhelming majority of the votes Elected as the 33rd President of the United States.

"Poor guy." Yannick didn't know much about Wendell Wilkie. He only knew that he represented the Republican Party in the 1940 U.S. presidential election in the original time and space, competing against the Democratic Party Roosevelt for the U.S. President, and ultimately failed.

Moreover, he would die of a heart attack in 1944. I don’t know if his fragile heart could withstand this magnificent and epic war.

The elected Wendell Wilkie will not take office immediately and will have to wait until January 20 next year to officially take office.

Before 1933, the inauguration day of the new president was set on March 4. Later, the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution stipulated that the date and time for the president to be sworn in was changed to noon on January 20, local time in Washington. The modification is mainly due to the following considerations: First, the sooner the new president takes office, the sooner he can intervene in the handling of national affairs. During the Great Depression in 1933, the transfer of power between President-elect Franklin Roosevelt and President Hoover was too slow, affecting the United States' response to the crisis. Second, with the invention of new technologies such as steam locomotives, Congress can ensure that the counting of electoral votes ends early in January. In 1937, President Roosevelt became the first U.S. president to be sworn in on January 20.

What’s interesting is that shortly after Wendell Wilkie took office, the three-month “protection period” for the 1,500 tons of gold spent by the United States expired. It is not known whether the new president will continue to pay the money obediently.

On this day, Yannick came to a secret flight base to inspect the test flight of a jet fighter.

In the original time and space of World War II, Germany had many aircraft manufacturing companies and countless types of aircraft.

Messerschmitt (Bavaria), represented by the Me (Bf) 109/110/262, also produces large aircraft such as the Me323 heavy transport aircraft, creating a series of history-changing aircraft models.

Heinkel Company mainly focused on the He111 bomber during the war. Its pre-war products were all-encompassing. Since the He112 lost to the Bf109, the He118 lost to the Ju87, it has been on the bench. The He115 seaplane is also very famous.

The Junkers Company is most famous for its universal aircraft Ju88, apart from the "Junkers" Ju52 and the "Screaming Death" Ju87.

Dornier is good at seaplanes, and the Do18/24 and others can be called classics, but their light is often overshadowed by the Do17/217 series of bombers (the latter are often used as anti-ship missile carriers).

Focke-Wulf Company, apart from the "Atlantic Plague" Fw200, is of course the famous Fw190.

Henschel Company specializes in ground attack aircraft, and the Hs123 and "tank can opener" Hs129 are his masterpieces.

Blomfors (Hamburg) is not good at building ships, but it has built a very classic Bv (Ha) 138 seaplane.

Arado is famous for its Ar95/196 seaplanes and Ar234 jet bombers.

Fiszeler Company relied on Fi156 to win a place in history.

During World War II, the German army did not have as many types of aircraft as those in the United States, but one aircraft model could often evolve into numerous models for different uses in the hands of German designers and engineers. Especially Germany's transformation of large and medium-sized aircraft is even more impressive. Dazzled.

Yannick reduced the various types and models of aircraft in the original time and space to the extreme.

For example, the current German propeller fighters only include the BF109 series and the FW190 series. None of the Bf-110, Me-410, He-219, etc. have been produced; and the night fighters are modified mosquito bombers.

There are only two types of ground attack aircraft: Il-2 and A1 attack aircraft; the main bombers are JU87 Stukas, Mosquito bombers, and HE-177s, as well as a small number of ME264s and a few B36 bombers.

Yanik has recently considered adding a twin-engine medium bomber, but there are several bombers for his reference, such as the American B-25; the German Ju-88, Do217 bomber; the Soviet Union's Pe-2, IL-4, etc. etc.; it really made him hesitant, not knowing which one to choose.

Three types of jet aircraft were prepared at the flight base, which were developed by Yannick by copying later jet fighters. The MiG-15 jet fighter developed by Messerschmitt, the F-86 fighter developed by Heinkel, and the B-47 jet bomber developed by Arado.

The MiG-15 fighter jet and the F-86 fighter jet are famous aircraft of a generation; the B-47 bomber is the United States and the world's first practical jet strategic bomber in later generations. It is the first mass-produced swept-wing jet bomber.
