No one can understand the difficulty of starting from scratch. In any era, a strong network of relationships can save people a few years of struggle.

Once you enter society, you are as deep as the sea. The simple happiness you once had seems silly to others.

People can be at peace with themselves, but never offend people who shouldn't be offended. Otherwise, you will face a situation where power and money are beckoning to you, but you are trampled by others and unable to stand up.

Anyone who is not a fool will understand these two laws of social survival.

But in reality, some people just want to meet the taboo.

And MacArthur is such a person.

Speaking of the emotional entanglement between MacArthur and Pershing, we have to mention the woman Louis Cromwell Brooks.

Louise was a famous amorous young woman in the United States at that time. She was beautiful, voluptuous, and came from a wealthy family. She followed the rules of that era and married a wealthy man of equal caliber.

However, Louise was an anomaly among the women of that era. Being rich was just a combination to carry on their family lineage, but not her love.

Therefore, she is bohemian in daily life and has countless close friends.

Before she divorced her husband, she got together with Per Xing, who was known as the "old pervert in the army" when he came to fight in France.

However, the concubine was in love, but the man had no intention of doing so. For Pershing, he was just playing with Louis. It wasn't long before Pershing hooked up with a younger and more beautiful female painter and dumped Louis.

Although Louise is passionate, she wants to marry Pershing this time.

In 1919, after returning from glory, MacArthur became the principal of West Point Military Academy with the help of his mother. It was during this time that Louis became obsessed with the young general.

Under Louis's crazy show of love and MacArthur's acceptance of his courage to break through the worldly vision, MacArthur soon married Louis, who was divorced and was dealing with several men.

Unexpectedly, on the second day of his wedding, MacArthur received news that Pershing asked him to station in the Philippines.

This deployment also prevented MacArthur from being selected as a major general.

It turned out that Pershing later reconciled with Louise, but Louise was not the kind of woman who only knew love. In order to avenge his previous abandonment, within a few days he got together with the assistant major who was regarded as an adopted son by Pershing.

.

Unexpectedly, after being discovered by Pershing, not only was he not angry but he also supported their marriage.

What Pershing didn't expect was that he would eventually hear about Lewis and MacArthur's marriage.

Pershing, who originally had a bad attitude toward MacArthur, could no longer hold back the anger in his heart when he thought of him marrying the woman he once had and who was now supposed to be with his adopted son.

Therefore, he directly used his authority to put MacArthur in a place where no one could shit.

The initial love passion could not withstand the suffering of reality. Within a few years, Louise divorced MacArthur and returned to the place where she fought.

Why MacArthur's mother pushed him to the position of principal of West Point Military Academy was inseparable from Pershing's constant opposition and the support of MacArthur's father's subordinates.

In MacArthur's selection from chief of staff of the Rainbow Division to major general, Pershing would squeeze out MacArthur's spot every time.

MacArthur's mother was also a strong woman. She wrote to her husband's former subordinates asking them to help MacArthur.

So one side attacked and the other supported, MacArthur still took the position of president of West Point Military Academy.

However, he never expected that Pershing, who had originally planned to let him go, would directly let him go because of Louis.

However, no matter how powerful my mother and subordinates are, they will eventually retire and die.

Before her death, MacArthur's mother used her last breath to pray to Pershing for permission to grant MacArthur the rank of major general, but she only received a silent answer.

However, gold always shines, and MacArthur is not a straw bag who only relies on support.

In 1924, after Pershing retired, MacArthur was finally awarded the rank of major general.

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes widened when he heard this.

Co-author, there is such a big difference between MacArthur and Pershing.

Whose head is green?

MacArthur?Pershing?

Meng Shaoyuan was such a smart person, but he couldn't figure out which person had the green head even after calculating in his mind for a long time.

"Pershing has been trying his best to suppress MacArthur. Although he is retired now, he still has a decisive influence in the U.S. military and political circles." Cawston poured himself a glass of wine and said: "Especially after he retired.

After a while, MacArthur was finally promoted to major general.

At that time, Pershing happened to be ill and was staying at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C., and did not have time to stop him. It is said that after hearing about this incident, Pershing was very angry and said that it was simply ridiculous for someone like MacArthur to become a general.

The shame of the American military.

After MacArthur's failed retreat in the Philippines, Pan was elated and said that MacArthur should be captured by the Japanese and sent to a prisoner of war camp so that the Japanese could reform his character. Unfortunately, MacArthur was not a useless person, and he is still

It’s been proven.”

Meng Shaoyuan was very excited when he heard that: "Continue, continue."

Couston didn't expect that this guy actually liked to listen to gossip so much: "The special relationship between Patton and Pershing, coupled with Patton's character, made him always dislike MacArthur. When the 19th Cavalry Regiment was mobilized, Patton once

He tried his best to stop it. But at that time, his Third Army was landing in Normandy with the Allied forces, and he had no time or energy to take care of this matter.

After I learned about Spabanios, I immediately used my connections to investigate. After the 19th Cavalry Regiment stopped advancing, Dillon also knew that MacArthur was deliberately trying to mess with him, so he reported it to Patton.

"

After hearing this, Meng Shaoyuan completely understood.

MacArthur only cared about the military and only considered how to completely liberate the Philippines.

MacArthur not only ignored other matters, such as smuggling, but even acquiesced.

He believes that smuggling can not only boost the morale of the US troops on the front line, but also give the people in the Philippine recovery zone a certain degree of confidence.

This kind of thing is a common thing not to mention in the Philippines, but also on the European battlefield.

There are even American officers in charge of logistics who are personally involved in smuggling.

In this regard, the top brass of the US military also turned a blind eye.

Barton must also know this.

The movement of smuggled goods must pass through the Port of Manila.

And Spabanios is an important road.

This must be Patton's order to Dillon.
