    United States Washington

    The summer sun is always so venomous, making it difficult for everyone to escape the sultry irritability. Even the coolness of science and the coldness of death cannot reduce the worries and melancholy of everyone here, as well as a certain American with a corncob pipe in his mouth.  The anger that filled the chest of His Excellency the Chief of Army Staff.

    In a conference room of the U.S. Army Department, General Douglas MacArthur, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, held a few pages of thin reports and faced a group of silent soldiers, experts and staff, feeling the fire burning in his heart.  More than that, summon him to crush this bunch of trash in front of him!

    In the end, he failed to suppress his anger, but slapped the document on the table, and spoke to the jury as forcefully as a lawyer: " So, the opinion of the Army General Staff is to stop this  In this intervention operation, the troops were quickly withdrawn from the battlefield in mainland China, or the Zhoushan Islands, while allowing the troops that had been transported to the Philippines to stay in Manila and other places for a long time, and continue the endless confrontation with the red elements in China? Damn it! You are proud and courageous.  What?! Are you going to wait until these Chinese guys¡¯ bad breath reaches Washington before you have the courage to fight!?¡±

    General Douglas MacArthur feels very angry now. Since the end of the World War and the intervention in the Soviet Revolution, the United States of America has been peaceful for so many years, and the military naturally has no place to win cheers and applause.  The only few dispatches during this period were to suppress veterans and unemployed workers during the Great Depression. Not only did they not receive any glory at all, they were also scolded by the media.

    Especially on the streets of Washington, the desperate cries of "our today is your tomorrow" by the retired veterans who failed to ask for their pensions but were crushed by tanks commanded by Major Patton made every federal soldier feel sad.   Now we finally have a stage where soldiers can show off their skills - go to the East to suppress those rebellious Bolsheviks, but who knows that they are interrupted midway!

    What¡¯s worse is that MacArthur has fallen out with President Roosevelt on many matters, so much so that the president and his staff are increasingly dissatisfied with him, and there have been rumors recently.  It was said that President Roosevelt planned to force Major General MacArthur to retire with disgrace!

    This bleak prospect made Chief of Staff MacArthur feel extremely anxious and eager to prove himself through a hearty victory - although this Far East intervention operation was led by the naval fleet and the Marine Corps was responsible for the ground combat.  But MacArthur still found ways to get involved and transported a division, a task force Army flying group and several National Guard units to the Philippines. One of the regiments had already arrived at Zhoushan Island as an advance base but was forcibly attacked by those yellow-skinned monkeys.  A broadcast was so frightened that it suddenly stopped.  How could Uncle MacArthur not be angry?

    Before seeing the Chief of General Staff lose his dignity and start cursing like a shrew, one of the staff officers who felt ashamed still stood up and reminded him: "Your Excellency, Chief of General Staff, I have to remind you that this time the Chinese  They were not using ordinary conventional weapons. According to international broadcasts from Shanghai, they discovered the wonderful power inside atoms and created powerful atomic weapons; and they seemed to have more than one such atomic weapon. In addition, they had  The ruthless destruction of Japanese cities also showed their determination to use this weapon on the battlefield - it is not a wise move to let the army boys take such a big risk for the sake of losing a little profit in the Shanghai Concession.  .

    At the same time, their conventional military strength is still insufficient to reach areas outside mainland China.  We still have an advantage in Southeast Asia, so now is the best time to negotiate. At least we still have enough leverage to have a certain initiative in the negotiations.

    At present, the federal navy is extremely unlucky because of its participation in China's intervention operations - it has lost tens of thousands of sailors and marines, and a lot of expensive warships are lying motionless in Guam. The Navy Department is now regretting it.  !  Why should the Army also step into this quagmire?  "

    ¡ª¡ªNow that someone has begun to share the anger.  Then naturally there will be bold successors to follow.

    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, we are basically helpless against the current situation in mainland China, unless someone can kill this group of red elements entrenched in Shanghai - obviously, that is impossible. Whether it is the Japanese or the Chinese  Several local warlords do not have this ability Moreover, the United States of America currently does not have very considerable interests in China. The Sino-US trade volume over the years has always been only one-third or even one-fifth of the Japan-US trade volume. On the contrary  The British almost monopolized the economic interests of China's southern coast and the Yangtze River Basin.

    In fact, although Chiang Kai-shek, the previously overthrown ruler of China, had a certain American background, he was more policy-oriented.To a large extent, it was influenced by the British to put it harshly.  He is a British dog, not ours, and is not worth our efforts to maintain.  "

    Another senior analyst of international issues said, "the British's troubles should be solved by the British! The United States has already been fooled by these British gentlemen at the Paris Peace Conference. We cannot do it again this time.  Used as cannon fodder in Whitehall, London!"

    Unfortunately, Chief of Staff MacArthur did not fully listen to these earnest persuasion. He just lowered his head, suppressed his sour mood, and laughed: "Yes, in the hearts of those guys in the White House,  What the red elements say is what they say! Atomic bombs? How could those Chinese yellow-skinned monkeys and those Chinese monkeys who had just cut off their pigtails do it? It was just with the help of a few natural disasters and fabricated so-called scientific laws, on their radio stations  He was bragging nonsense, but our politicians actually believed it" He raised his head suddenly, with a hint of madness in his eyes, "there is a limit to defying the laws of physics! What a bullshit atomic bomb, you are insulting  My IQ!"

    "It's a pity that although it is unbelievable, this is probably the cruel fact, General MacArthur."

    Just as Chief of Staff MacArthur was having a hysterical fit, the Minister of War, Mr. George Dehn, suddenly opened the door and broke into the conference room. ¡°¡­According to the latest news received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Swiss and German ministers to China, and  One of our journalists has been in Shanghai to observe the entire process of the Bolsheviks using giant rockets to launch atomic bombs against the Japanese Empire, and has received preliminary confirmation that these yellow-skinned monkeys who painted themselves red have indeed mastered  Some kind of incredible power can wipe out a city or even a country in an instant!"

    After hearing the words of the Secretary of War, MacArthur suddenly relaxed for a moment, as if all the previous anger and militant remarks had gone away.

    ¡°¡­Well, Mr. Minister, if this is the case, then I agree to withdraw the troops sent to the Far East and let the boys go home¡­¡±

    "No, no, no, General, you seem to have misunderstood the president's intention." Minister Deen shook his head and said, "The troops stranded in the Zhoushan Islands do need to be withdrawn, but the Philippines' defense power cannot be weakened.  Can strengthen General MacArthur, I think you should know that last year Congress passed the Tydings-McDuffie Act, which detailed the steps for Philippine independence - and these steps have been basically completed, and the Republic of the Philippines is about to  was born. But this does not mean that the United States can relax its control of this Far Eastern bridgehead"

    ¡ª¡ªThe Secretary of War seemed to be talking about another new topic, but MacArthur could only frown and listen patiently.

    ¡°Then, General MacArthur, who had lived in the United States for many years, heard a terrible bolt from the blue.

    "General MacArthur, you have served in the Philippines for eight years and are the most knowledgeable person in the entire federal Army Department about the East and Asia. Mr. President hopes that you can step down from the post of Chief of Staff of the Army and move to a position where you can play a more effective role."  Where your talents are best served - specifically, as Supreme Military Advisor and Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Republic of the Philippines, as well as Commander of the United States Army in the Far East. You will be able to command all land forces of the United States and the Republic of the Philippines in the Philippine Islands, and be responsible for all operations in Asia.  The confrontation with red elements at the frontier should prevent the freedom-loving Filipino people from being contaminated by red ideas Of course, if possible, we might as well share with the Japanese some of the excess assets that they cannot manage"

    "Japaneseexcess assets? Sorry, I don't seem to understand. What does this mean?"

    MacArthur, who was about to be sadly "exiled" back to his "second home" the Philippines, was stunned when he heard this, "can you be more clear?"

    "Saipan, Tinian and the Caroline Islands, these assets that the Japanese Empire seized from the German Emperor Wilhelm during the world war twenty years ago, may be able to change their owners again¡ª¡ª  Especially when Japan no longer has a navy The federal navy has always been full of interest in the Truk anchorage that the Japanese navy secretly built near the equator"

    The Minister of War said lightly, "Of course, this is just a preliminary intention. Whether it can be realized depends on the situation"

    ¡ª¡ªIf Americans, who don¡¯t have much interest entanglements in China at the moment, can still move their benches and sit aside to watch the show, or even consider whether they can take advantage of the situation, then they are now directly facing the front of the Chinese Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Red Army.  The British and French were not so relaxed.
