At 11 o'clock at noon on 19 July, after receiving a signal from the airport tower that it could land, Zhou Nan's special plane landed at the US Air Force Base in Cavite.

It is adjacent to the U.S. Navy base and is one of the most important U.S. military bases in the Philippines.

It was in the barracks at the airport that Zhou Nan met MacArthur, the most showy military politician in history, whose pipe was almost always with him, as described in the documents.

MacArthur is arguably the most controversial general in the history of the U.S. military, and his father was a true military wizard and a three-star general in the United States.

This three-star general is much more important than his later five-star generals. So MacArthur can also be said to be famous.

With such a good foundation, MacArthur's development in the army was naturally invincible.

During World War I, he became the youngest brigadier general of the expeditionary force, but because of his unruliness and lack of sight, he had a grudge against the other generals of the army.

Although no one really suppressed him for the sake of his recently deceased father, he couldn't stay in the army anymore.

So he was transferred out of the army and served as the youngest principal of West Point.

Although he was honored, he was never accepted into the mainstream circle of the U.S. military from then on.

Since taking over his father's position as commander-in-chief of the Philippines in 22, he has become an outlier in the military.

No one liked him, looked at his father's face, and no one dealt with him, but all the soldiers excluded him.

At the age of 25, he briefly returned to his home country to take up his post, but soon became at odds with the rest of the military. At one point, he was kicked out of the military to become president of the Olympic Committee and excluded from the mainstream of the military by other military personnel.

After Hoover took office, he made him the chief of the general staff of the US military. In the position of chief of staff, he personally took action to suppress American veterans, which made him even more famous.

In 35 years, his term as chief of staff expired, but the army never accepted him, and he had to retire from active duty and go from a four-star general to a major general to serve as a military adviser to the president of the Philippines.

Since then, he has left himself to fend for himself in Asia and has never returned to his homeland.

But the vastness of Asia gives him room to play, and years of experience in Asia make him an irreplaceable person. In World War II, even if he was defeated, because there was no one who could replace him, he was still as steady as a rock.

Later, because of the victory in the war, he also became a five-star general in the U.S. Army.

During this period, he was interested in running for president, but had to withdraw from the election because of too few supporters.

From 45 years to the present, he has become the emperor of Asia, controlling the fate of Asian countries, which has also given him great prestige.

As a political soldier who likes to put on a show, many people scoff at his military talent, but I have to admit that he is very politically talented.

He knows very well what his capital is and where his foundation is. No matter what, the rest of Asia has nothing to do with him, and only Japan is his credit.

So in 45 years, the Allies were supposed to divide Japan into four occupation zones, just like Germany. The north belonged to the Soviet Union, the middle to the United States, and the south to China and Great Britain.

But in the end, he insisted on going his own way, allowing the United States to monopolize Japan.

The Japanese had nothing to eat, so he transferred 3.5 million tons of grain from China and asked for $2 billion in economic aid from the Congress.

As long as Japan is stable, that's his credit.

He received more praise and criticism than any other American general.

Among the dazzling stars of World War II, he was neither as approachable as Eisenhower, nor as enthusiastic as Patton, nor as impartial as Marshall.

He was a man with an extremely complex and colorful personality, with admirers believing him to be the greatest military man in American history and critics arrogance and a five-star general with no name

In Zhou Nan's view, even if he is not an excellent soldier, he can definitely be regarded as an excellent politician, and even show off better than ordinary politicians.

His eyes were always on the White House, on the throne.

MacArthur looked at Zhou Nan, who was dressed like a movie star in front of him, and he was also full of emotion. Although he has long known that Zhou Nan is very young, he is only 26 years old this year, but when he sees a real person, he still has a sense of subversion that he can't believe.

Such a young man was seen as a savior by Europeans. is such a young man who single-handedly planned the partition of India and Pakistan, the independence of Myanmar, and the independence of South China, stirring up the world.

He wore a playboy-like mid-length hairstyle, wore a lavish suit of hundreds of dollars, and wore a pair of leather shoes on his feet that exceeded his salary for a month.

Isn't such a person supposed to have fun drinking with beautiful women at the beach?

But he has read almost all of Zhou Nan's books, and he knows everything he has done, and he knows that under the appearance of this playboy, there is a ruthless heart and a terrifying smart brain.

Even if he is not convinced, he has to admit that the European revival plan is a great plan, which has been implemented for less than a year, and has already allowed the United States to penetrate deep into closed Europe, and has also allowed Europe to reverse its decline and embark on the road of revival again.

And his contribution to the partition of India and Pakistan and the independence of South China is even more admirable for his methods.

Britain and the Netherlands are his staunch supporters, and South China regards him as the hope of the nation, such a young man, who is only 26 years old this year, it is difficult to determine where his ceiling is!

The barracks near the runway of the airport are in a coconut grove, because the war is over, and the training mission has been canceled for this meeting today, so the area of the officer barracks seems quiet and peaceful.

A camouflage tent blocks out the sun in the sky, and a long table piled high with fruit and wine sits on a ventilated grass on all sides.

It's less like a barracks and more like a carnival dance party on a beach holiday.

MacArthur held the pipe in his left hand, shook Zhou Nan vigorously with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, Your Excellency the Secretary-General, I have admired my name for a long time." ”

Zhou Nan also smiled gently: "Hello, Your Excellency General, I have admired you for a long time. ”

MacArthur stared into Zhou Nan's eyes and smiled, "Before I met you, I always had a question, that is, in what capacity did you come to see me today. Secretary General of the Federal Council of Switzerland? Britain's royal advisors? Recipient of the Military Willem Medal of the Netherlands? Or the uncrowned king of South China? ”

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "Why can't it be an ordinary young man who wants to avenge his father? ”

His gaze froze, he controlled his emotions, invited Zhou Nan and his entourage into the tent, and introduced the Philippine commander-in-chief and other subordinates.

And Zhou Nan was only with five people today, but none of them were familiar to MacArthur.

When MacArthur heard Zhou Nan's answer just now, he kept speculating in his heart about Zhou Nan's intentions. He originally thought that Zhou Nan's purpose was to help Nanhua ask for compensation, but now it seems that it is a little different.

He hated this kind of meeting where he had to guess what the other person was trying to do, because it would make him brainless.

Zhou Nan's identity is not a secret, and his experience became known to the world after he rose to prominence in Europe.

He was born in Green Island in 1922, and his father was an assistant hired by Yannick Hoffmann, so he lived in Hoffman's home from an early age.

As a teenager, he went to school like an ordinary child and learned to settle accounts. Then he lost his father in 37, and returned to Germany with the Hoffmanns in 38 with General Falkenhausen.

Before the age of sixteen, he behaved no different from other young people and did not show unparalleled talent. Or rather, until he was twenty-one, he was no different from everyone else.

But when he was 24 years old, he made a splash and came up with such a historical and humanistic masterpiece as "General History of the World".

Although this was fueled by the Swiss Liberal Democratic Party, no one could deny his wealth of ideas and outstanding learning.

Before going to France to publicize, people knew about him only academically. But from Strasbourg, step by step, people recognized his unparalleled vision and talent in international relations.

Beginning with Lyon, his humanist ideas shocked the world, which made him surpass most people in the world in terms of thinking and determine his Godhead.

And the European revival plan he came up with in Italy shocked the world, thus confirming his academic, ideological, and political status.

Even MacArthur, among others, was accustomed to seeing him as a symbol.

But now, he even said directly that he came as an ordinary young man.

This made MacArthur and everyone around him seriously consider, what was Zhou Nan's purpose?

It can be said that Zhou Nan's answer made them all feel unprepared.

invited Zhou Nan and they sat down, MacArthur personally entertained them, asked their opinions, and poured Zhou Nan a cup of coffee. "Your Excellency the Secretary-General......"

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "Michelle, they are used to calling me Jonas, I hope you can call me the same." I've achieved a little bit of success, but I'm about the size of most of your grandchildren. ”

Everyone laughed. Even MacArthur was very satisfied with Zhou Nan's attitude, nodded his head, and asked: "Okay, Jonas, I know that you have Stolko, an elder with rich political experience, and Etiny, who is shrewd and capable, but today ......"

"Unfortunately, they came here from cold Europe and they all got sick yesterday. Moreover, I came here mainly for personal purposes, so I did not force them to come because they were sick. ”

"We don't understand, what kind of private purpose is it?"
