Roosevelt is dead!
Nothing has changed—Roosevelt is dead.
On April 12th, Roosevelt died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at Warm Springs, Georgia.
"Well, that guy finally died!"
Upon hearing the news, unlike everyone else, Pierre felt nothing but joy.
There was no helping it—after all, as the maker of presidents, he had finally succeeded in sending his first American president to the White House.
"Heh, actually, making a president doesn't feel all that special."
To say he wasn't excited would be a lie, but to say he was extremely excited would also be a lie.
After all, even as president, the returns he could offer beyond his powers were limited.
In fact, Pierre's feelings were complicated. Having made a president for the first time, he was naturally anxious about the outcome—now that Truman had taken office, what kind of return would he offer in response?
As a businessman, after making an investment, one always hopes for a return.
