Chapter Thirty-Three MacArthur's Ideas
Walker died without any signs and was directly killed at the gate of their army headquarters. Everything came so suddenly. Lin Wu and others slowly began to prepare for escape under the siege of the Americans. This time the Americans lost their face, and they must have revenge wildly.
But what about crazy revenge? They are still targeting North Korea because they think that North Korea is playing against them, not others are playing against them. North Korea is of course very unfair in their hearts. They don’t know that this time the Americans actually settled the accounts on their heads.
In the headquarters of the Eighth Army, the generals were silent.
"It has been three hours since General Walker was shot and killed. No team has reported whether he had caught the murderer. Now we can't delay it anymore. Otherwise, General MacArthur will be furious!" The deputy commander-in-chief of the army said in a deep voice. After Walker died, he will be the main military commander now.
In fact, he was very excited inside. Walker's immortality was a mountain standing in front of him, but what he felt even more unhappy was that Walker was shot and killed. This was not possible. If you shot him, you would have an assassin. This is something that threatens his life safety. Can he agree? And now the Lord is dead, what a serious matter!
The deputy commander-in-chief of the army is Brown. He is the biggest winner of General Walker's death this time. Some conspiracy theorists even think that this time it will be a surprise to Brown himself? Of course, these must be conspiracy theorists. Brown will never do such a thing at this time to cause trouble.
Brown felt that he had a certain competition with Walker, but it was Walker who was the main decision, so Brown was not brave enough even if he was caught. If Walker caught him, he would find that he was his own person and the first person he wanted to catch was himself! It would be impossible to escape at that time. So Brown would not be so stupid.
"God of General, General Walker's death was a deliberate conspiracy of the enemy. I think the North Koreans want to disrupt our deployment in this way, and we must not let it go. I think we must give a strong counterattack now. Of course, we must first report it to General MacArthur!" The Chief of Staff said in a deep voice. He and General Walker are in the same relationship. Now that Walker is dead, he obviously does not want Brown to take this position. Although everyone can upgrade, Brown has always been incompatible with him.
If Brown goes to report to General MacArthur, then it is obvious that General MacArthur will definitely not have such an opportunity to sit on the throne when he is furious. And I heard that General MacArthur already has a favorite partner to do this Episode 8 [31 Novel Network] The commander-in-chief of the army, and this is likely to be an opportunity.
Brown said: "Let me leave this matter to the Chief of Staff, I have a lot to deal with."
The Chief of Staff said in embarrassment: "General Brown, you are the supreme commander of our current Eighth Army. If you don't report to General MacArthur, I think it's not appropriate?"
Brown said indifferently: "I report the same as you, there is no problem with this. This is an order, Your Excellency Chief of Staff! I hope you can know that your current commander is me!"
Brown was very proud. Now the chief of staff is not proud. He saw that he was not very respectful before, but now? If he doesn't respect me, I will suppress you until you respect me! Brown thought in his heart that if he could establish his position as soon as possible, then he would be very glorious and his ambitions could be displayed.
However, Brown was shocked by Walker's death. What was it that Walker was too high.
Brown continued: "We will temporarily block the news about this matter, otherwise if everyone knows it, we may not be able to overcome the situation. I think the main thing for us is to block the news, and this task will be handed over to me. Chief of Staff, you can report our work at this stage to General MacArthur. But you also need to highlight it. This time General Walker made the decision without authorization. In fact, we do not want him to go to the headquarters. There are a bunch of invisible enemies that we have not discovered yet. There are dangers everywhere outside!"
The Chief of Staff gritted his teeth and nodded, "Don't worry, as you wish, Lord Brown!" He had to bow his head under the roof. Now the Chief of Staff also had to prevent one from not letting him become the commander-in-chief of this group of army forces?
The Chief of Staff picked up the phone with great entanglement. In fact, although Brown said there was another thing, who would not pay attention to this issue? So many eyes were staring at the Chief of Staff. They also wanted to know what happened after MacArthur knew about this incident. The Chief of Staff also knew that he had to fight now, otherwise he would have offended Brown.
"Hey, hello, commander-in-chief, I am Michelle, the chief of staff of the Eighth Army!" Michelle stood up straight and stood attentively.
"Oh, what's wrong with calling across the ocean at this time?" MacArthur was obviously not in a very beautiful mood, because the first batch of Chinese volunteer North Korea's troops had arrived. He is now very worried about whether to give these people a little more powerful, but from the information they received, these people saw that they were the strongest troops in China, the 18th Army!
It is impossible for MacArthur to not be angry at all. Everyone knows the combat effectiveness of the 18th Army in the past. But later it was disbanded, and this group of people was definitely not the original group, so MacArthur felt that Wang Mingyu should not have any combat effectiveness as soon as he went there, but the lean camel was bigger than a horse, so MacArthur must have known this.
As the saying goes, if a soldier is a bear, a group of bears a bear. A good general can at least double the combat effectiveness of the army. This is the reason why everyone strives to be a famous general? Because when the opponent faces you, the momentum is weaker, and the momentum of the opponent's soldiers is also weaker.
But now MacArthur is hesitating, what if he loses? He simply left this problem to the Eighth Army on the left. To be honest, since the arsenal was destroyed this time, MacArthur felt that Walker's ability was very problematic, so he was preparing to take it off. At this time, the Eighth Army contacted him that it was not Walker, which made MacArthur not have any good tone.
Could it be that Walker is demonstrating to him? MacArthur thought of some conspiracy theories. Speaking of Walker, there are naturally people on it. MacArthur naturally knows this, otherwise how could he be in this position? But MacArthur has more than enough to get MacArthur's qualifications. The reason why MacArthur doesn't want to touch him now is mainly because he cannot change the coach at the last minute, so the morale of the army is unstable.
The war is approaching, and there are too many things to pay attention to now. MacArthur is no exception. He also needs to pay attention to. He listened to the other party's inconspicuous look in the microphone and said angrily: "Don't you know that it is very impolite to call and not speak like this? You are wasting my time, Your Excellency Michelle!"
Michelle said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I have a very unfortunate news to tell you that Lieutenant General Walker, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, was assassinated three hours ago and died heroically!"
MacArthur widened his eyes, as if he hadn't heard it clearly, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Michel repeated: "That's right, Commander-in-Chief, I have a very unfortunate news to tell you that Lieutenant General Walker, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, was assassinated three hours ago and died heroically!"
MacArthur sat down on the chair dejectedly and said in a deep voice: "Three hours ago? Why did you report it now? Don't you know the importance of this matter?"
Michelle said with some depression: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, we were all chasing those assassins at that time, but they finally escaped. Now our Eighth Army is rushing to search for these people. This group of people is likely to be the ones who sneaked into the arsenal before."
MacArthur's face was gloomy and terrible. The people on the side didn't know what had happened, but it was obviously not a good thing. Otherwise, General MacArthur's face would not be like this. But what happened? Hum? The people on the side could only listen carefully.
MacArthur said: "Has this news been spread? If not, block the news as soon as possible!"
Michelle said bitterly: "Just just now, General Brown has informed the entire army to capture the murderer who assassinated General Walker. I am afraid I will be heard by the enemy's radio monitor!"
At this moment, Brown's face immediately became very ugly, but what Michelle said was the truth. He originally wanted to block the news, but the murderer just couldn't catch it. In order to catch the murderer and to prove his innocence, Brown obviously wanted to catch the murderer.
MacArthur almost roared on the other end: "Brown, is his brain made of pumpkin? He doesn't understand such a simple truth? Now the entire Eighth Army probably already knows that the commander-in-chief was assassinated and killed. Could this idiot don't know how big the blow to morale is? He's just a bastard!"
While Brown's face was gloomy, he also knew that Michelle secretly secretly humiliated him, but this was his most important mistake. No wonder Michelle, but now he felt very disappointed. It might be difficult for him to keep his position. He was a little proud for a moment, but he ended up like this.
If he had known this call, he would not have let Michel call. Now he has successfully aroused General MacArthur's anger towards him. If it were his own, I'm afraid that the words would not have been said. It might be said that it was the order given by Michel, but no matter what, he could not say the order given by him.
MacArthur immediately said on the other end: "Don't worry about so much now. Since the news has spread, in order to boost morale, this news must be announced. You also know that those idle reporters who have nothing to do will definitely report this matter as a focus. Damn, why did this assassination happen? Could it be that Walker is a stupid pig?"
Michelle said: "Because General Walker had not been able to find traces of those people for a long time, he decided to go down to inspect it himself. Isn't this the result that this inspection finally turned out to be like this."
MacArthur was speechless. Walker was just a pig. Isn’t it okay to just say such things? No wonder I wanted to give up his official position. From this point of view, it would be not unfair to take down his official position!
MacArthur continued: "You immediately express this news to the world through the American media, and at the same time, we must inspire all American soldiers to learn from the heroic General Walker. Don't be assassinated, just to be attacked by the Northern Dynasties during the inspection. In the end, General Walker was unfortunately shot and sacrificed his life for the country when he shot more than ten people!"
Michelle blushed when she heard this. General MacArthur is indeed very talented. He said it. No wonder he is the commander-in-chief. In fact, General MacArthur has no choice. You must know that if you keep the secret now, you will not talk about people from other countries, and just like the reporters, you can annoy yourself to death.
If some news came out of other countries and before seeing General Walker, these reporters would probably think that the people from these countries must be right. So they would try every means to inquire about the news. So many people from the Eighth Army knew the news, who can guarantee that they all keep the secret?
So MacArthur knew that instead of blindly covering it, it would be better to be generous, but the initiative was at least in his own hands. Now Walker has the most heroic way of death. Of course, this is also the most wanted method of death for Americans. MacArthur could imagine that the North Koreans who were vulnerable in front of them actually attacked their generals. Who would these people vent their anger at that time?
It must be directed towards the North Koreans and the Chinese. This may be the last effect of Walker's death. MacArthur could give Walker some false reputation, which would be more beneficial to the soldiers' sense of honor. However, this move is a little despicable, but there is no despicable in MacArthur's dictionary, and war requires success.
If MacArthur was serious, there would be no such thing as Incheon Landing, so in this case, MacArthur could only do everything he could. There is no right or wrong in war, no use or exploitation, only victory, and you can do whatever you want to win, because history is written by the winner, and there has never been any accident in history.
So MacArthur's decision was unswerving... (To be continued)
