Chapter 34 Tell the world
The strength of the United States is deeply impressed by the people of the world. Their strength comes first because of the strength of their own strength, and the second because of the strength of the entire technology. At present, the most advanced weapons in the world are basically concentrated in the United States, so no matter who the United States fights, their equipment is always the most advanced.
Such advantages made the Americans more and more arrogant. They wanted to be the elder brother of all countries in the world, but the Soviets disagreed, so the two sides began a cold war. Of course, during the Cold War between the world and the Soviet Union, there was a local hot war. At this time, the Korean Peninsula was in a hot war during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The two different ideologies will definitely spark a lot of sparks. Fortunately, China is close to North Korea. Otherwise, if a capitalist country is close to North Korea, then North Korea will definitely lose, and no suspense will exist. Because the Soviets were cowardly and Stalin was cowardly.
Although if a war breaks out between the United States and the Soviet Union, their losses will inevitably be very heavy. However, in order to preserve their strength and prevent China from above, the Soviets did not dare to launch this war. At this moment, only China, and only China can stand up at this time and stand up for North Korea. It’s not that China is so awesome, but it just happens.
If you want to say that the one who is most reluctant to fight may be China. China is already in ruins. Who is willing to fight at this time? The Chairman’s idea is to stabilize production, but now it seems that this is just a joke, because this is impossible. Who will be beneficial to the birth of New China?
Of course it was the Soviet Union, which had a strong and reliable ally. However, the United States, which was intended in the Far East, seemed to be in the throat. Therefore, the North Korean issue seemed to be an internal problem, but in fact it had involved many interests among major powers. This problem seemed complicated, but it was actually very simple.
That is, the United States is constantly weakening the power of socialist countries and constantly compressing the survival soil of socialist countries. Because China's establishment has allowed Americans to see threats, which are potential. Anyone who is familiar with Chinese history knows that China was once the most powerful country in the world, and how many years has the United States had?
Sometimes you have to look at the foundation of a country and want to occupy China. Now everyone knows that it is basically impossible. Many things in China are too complicated and they cannot understand them thoroughly. Moreover, the Japanese army was so powerful at that time, they finally had to regret the past. Why? It is said that the Japanese army was not strong enough?
Obviously not. The strength of the Japanese army was that the United States was trembling when they saw it. So the Americans also knew that it was impossible to truly take down China, but if they couldn't take down China, I could change another way, that is, to support Taiwan's independence first, and then start to form a small encirclement in China's neighboring countries. North Korea was the first goal chosen by the Americans, and it was also the most reliable goal they thought.
However, this time it seemed that the American provocation caused strong dissatisfaction among China. The Americans did not think that China would send troops at first, but now that China has sent troops, the Americans naturally have to start to consider whether to have a large-scale conflict with China. Therefore, it is particularly important whether the United States recognizes the title of Chinese Volunteer Army.
If the United States recognizes the title of Chinese Volunteer Army, then they will compress the war to a small place on the Korean Peninsula. However, if the title of Chinese People's Volunteer Army is not recognized, the scale of the entire war will be escalated, and then a conflict within North Korea will instantly evolve into a conflict between China and the United States.
Of course, the Americans are not afraid to go to war with China, but the Americans are not that stupid. Why should they go to war with the Chinese? At that time, it is obviously not China, but the Soviet Union. The biggest threat to the Americans now is obviously not China, but the Soviet Union.
They would not let the Soviet Union laugh at it because of China. Now on the Korean Peninsula, they would only fight for land and sovereignty for the people of the two camps. However, once they escalate into a war between major powers, the United States would consume far more energy. If they really regret it with China, then the Americans would probably feel that the national strength would be unbearable.
Because the space on the Korean Peninsula is so large, but if you want to pull the battlefield to China, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to a preview of another world war. Americans do not have this [31 Novel Network
But if the time fails, it may not be consistent. So in this case, the Americans cannot afford to fight a long-term battle, and great defeat is absolutely not allowed.
But under such a background, the Americans still missed one thing, that is, the losses of senior generals. They did not expect that the North Koreans or Chinese people would have the ability to attack their senior generals, and they would have successfully assassinated them.
MacArthur's decision did not discuss with the US Department of Defense because it takes time. If you broadcast it first, it would be different from others' first saying it. So MacArthur was very depressed. Now that the politicians have finished discussing, the daylily has become cold, so he simply doesn't wait.
In the General Office of the Far East Command, a senior American staff member was here to await the arrival of many American media, and he wanted to announce a news, an important news.
Americans are quite sensitive to news, so when they hear that the most popular topics are revealed, they are obviously interested in it. Many people even have a person who specializes in sending telegrams. If it is really a big news, then the newspaper must be printed as fast as possible.
Under the gaze of many flashes, the senior staff officer said with a sad expression: "Just around 8 o'clock this morning, Lieutenant General Walker, commander of the Eighth Army Column of our army stationed in South Korea, bravely sacrificed his life for the country."
"Hula!" Many American reporters followed up immediately. This is an amazing event! If this is true, it is really important news. They don't care whether the general belongs to the United States or not. They are very confident in the strength of the United States. What they care about is the sales of their newspapers.
"Who was General Walker assassinated?"
"Is General Walker's accidental death cast a shadow on our war?"
"Excuse me……………………"
One question was constantly raised like a bullet, and the senior staff officer next to him had already anticipated the result, but when he saw dozens of reporters rushing towards him like locusts, the feeling was still a little terrifying. The staff officer wiped his sweat and said, "Everyone, calm, calm!"
The staff officer quickly adjusted his mentality and continued: "Dear friends from the media, this is what happened. General Walker was ambushed by the North Korean People's Army in Seoul this morning. Finally, after repelling the enemy's several attacks, he destroyed dozens of enemy troops and died bravely. This is the loss of our American army, the loss of our entire American nationals, and one of the greatest heroes in our American history. We express our deep remembrance and admiration here, General MacArthur heard the news.
After that, I was already in pain and praised him as the Iron-blooded General! I hope that our media friends can express his feats to our General Walker and our hero General Walker, so as to boost our already high morale. We will win North Korea and make the greatest contribution to the peace of mankind. Taking this opportunity, I will only express our deep respect to General Walker on behalf of all members of our Far East Army Command. I suggest that we observe a three-minute silence for our national hero, General Walker! Take off the hat!”
After this emotional speech by the staff, everyone below began to observe a deep silence. At this moment, Walker himself did not know that his historical status could be so tall, which was completely promoted to such a height without knowing it. If Walker knew it, he would probably think he was worth it.
Of course Walker must not know all this. Walker finally didn't understand why he didn't beat so many people, why did he not beat a major general before, why did he hit himself a person in lieutenant's costume? Could it be that he just saluted him because of that stupid colonel? It seemed that before he died, he also saw the colonel lying in a pool of blood. Walker's eyes were very complicated, with anger, confusion, unwillingness, and a hint of sarcasm...
As for whom he mocked, who knows this? Anyway, no matter what his affairs are, his mission has been completed. Now it is the so-called American media friends who have begun to show off. After the silence, there is no such chaotic situation in the scene. No matter whether the matter is true or false, these people know that it is related to national issues, and they also need to help their own country.
Sometimes war is to do everything, in order to gain the sympathy or recognition of some people, sometimes the army is helpless. Although there are many doubts about Walker's death this time, now people die. When Walker dies, it is said that death is the greatest. At this time, Walker is the greatest. The staff began to tell the glorious deeds in front of General Walker over and over again. He is basically a famous general in the United States.
The vibrations caused by such things are almost incomprehensible.
MacArthur is throwing a cup in the office at this moment. Since he learned about this, he has no other mood to analyze how to take North Korea? Now his mind is full of the sequelae of Walker's death. As a famous general, he certainly knows the importance of military morale, but what is their morale advantage now?
No, there is no advantage in this regard. Although I will grasp this trend, are everyone else fools? Obviously not. Chairman, MacArthur understands, and the Chairman is also a person that MacArthur admires quite. Heroes generally cherish heroes. MacArthur believes that the Chairman is also a generation of talented and powerful people.
Even MacArthur believed that the Chairman could not send troops. After seeing New China for only a little while, the Chairman resolutely sent troops. The place where MacArthur admired the Chairman was here. Not to mention his talent and strategy, he was brave and courageous, and sometimes he was a necessary quality for a leader.
Doing it even though you know you can't do it is sometimes not a foolish expression, but a courageous and unswerving momentum. Many people lack this momentum and this spirit for this reason. But MacArthur saw too many impossible things into possibility from the Chairman.
So when China sent troops, MacArthur was very cautious. Although the Chinese pioneer this time was the most outstanding general in China, Wang Mingyu, which MacArthur believed, this time, MacArthur couldn't help but not get angry, but in order not to affect morale, MacArthur decisively chose another way, that is, to continue to be rampant and look down on everything about China, so as to inspire the US military and increase the momentum of these generals.
But because of this, these generals relaxed their vigilance, which eventually led to such a passive situation. Who would not take advantage of such a situation? At least in MacArthur's view, China and North Korea will definitely take advantage of it. The American myth was broken, and such losses cannot be measured by specific numbers, but MacArthur knew that he could never bear the second time.
The first time you can be considered an accident, but what about the second time? Can the second time still be considered an accident? Obviously it is impossible. So after MacArthur's first reaction is to let the main commanders of other departments stay in the headquarters to command and not go out without authorization, otherwise military law will be carried out.
MacArthur's severity is well known. Since ancient times, he has always been a charity, so MacArthur naturally has his own style. The morale of Americans is low and not low. MacArthur doesn't know, and now he can't grasp it. But one thing he can grasp is that the morale of the two Chinese and Koreans must have increased to varying degrees. As for how much it increases, there is no specific number.
MacArthur looked outside the window, and MacArthur felt a bitterness in his heart as the reporters. The joy of the Incheon victory had just passed away a while ago, and today he announced such a news. This made MacArthur very depressed. These reporters are also a little listless now. Although it was a explosive and shocking news, this was not good news compared to the United States.
In addition to media personnel who are for sales, these people are Americans. They must be very uncomfortable when they see the generals of their country leave. (To be continued)
