Chapter 121: The Three Chiefs
Subtitle of this chapter: In fact, writing popular science is also very difficult.
………………………………………………
Speaking of the careers of the three governors of the American Empire, and the relationship between them, it is really interesting.
MacArthur had been a good man all his life, and when he fell in North Korea, he had just said that he would let the children go home for Christmas, but in the blink of an eye, he was pushed back to the 38th parallel by the volunteers.
He was not able to protect the night of the night, so he made the erection ...... No, rabbits became famous.
Marshall, on the other hand, is not bad at both ends, middle-aged. How stumbling is he?
In 1933, at the age of 53, Marshall was only a lieutenant colonel, and MacArthur, who was born in the same year as him, was already chief of staff of the Army (permanent rank of major general, provisional rank of four-star general). And in the same year, he was almost kicked into the National Guard by MacArthur, who had a vendetta against him.
That's right, these two formed a bond in the first war.
On Singles' Day in 1918, the day of Erdezi's surrender, a few days before that, Marshall, the staff officer of the expeditionary force, issued an order that "the demarcation line is no longer binding" according to the meaning of the above. So the famous Red 1st Division of the Army drove into the defense area of the 42nd Division and went straight to Sedang.
MacArthur was the chief of staff of the 42nd Division at this time, and originally thought that Sedang was in his pocket. Seeing this, he was naturally so angry that he jumped to his feet, and what made him even more embarrassed was that the soldiers of the 1st Marine Division arrested MacArthur, who had come to stop him, as a German spy. This made him a big joke in the expeditionary force.
Would someone like MacArthur not hold this grudge?
If Pershing, who was retired at the time, had not interceded for Marshall, he would have really gone to be the division commander of the National Guard.
Eisenhower, the youngest and least senior of the three imperial governors, always had nobles to help him at critical moments, and in fact MacArthur and Marshall could be regarded as his nobles, and he also served as their direct subordinates.
MacArthur admired him at first, and in 1935 he took him to the Philippines as his deputy. However, when Lao Mai lost the Philippines in 1942, of course he would not admit that he was incompetent, so he hated Marshall, then chief of the Army General Staff, and Eisenhower, director of the War Department, believing that their support was unfavorable.
Compared with his old enemy Marshall, MacArthur especially hated Eisenhower. From then on, he scornfully referred to his former subordinate as "that traitor Eisenhower."
Marshall, on the other hand, had a grudge against Eisenhower because he was an old MacArthur subordinate. However, when Marshall discovered Eisenhower's military talent, he spared no effort to promote him.
In fact, in 1944, Marshall wrote that letter to Eisenhower, asking him to swing his sword and cut the love thread for his own good. If he was burdened with such a scandal, Eisenhower in 1952 would not be able to be the commander of US imperialism, and he would not even be able to be a Republican candidate.
But in the final analysis, Eisenhower would have so many nobles to appreciate, naturally because he himself had military talent, plus a peaceful personality and was good at dealing with people.
Fox Connor really admires this little brother. So when he went to Panama at the end of this year to take up the post of commander of the infantry brigade, he would invite Eisenhower to be his adjutant.
Eisenhower's boss, Colonel Rodenbatch at Fort Meade, refused to let him go because Eisenhower was a top football coach.
The Americans are really much like the ancient Romans, and they all regard sports as serious careers...... Well, maybe it's more important.
In fact, Eisenhower would go to military school, not only because he didn't have to pay tuition, but also because the football teams in Annapolis and West Point were quite famous and allowed him to play football happily. When he got to West Point, he was really considered a talented offensive player.
Unfortunately, he injured his knee in one of the races and then again in equestrian training. This interrupted his career as a rugby player, but it made him a great coach.
It's just that Major Eisenhower in 1921 was naturally reluctant to become a football coach in boot camp.
After much arguing, Fox Connor transferred Eisenhower to his side with the help of his old superior, Pershing, then Chief of Army Staff.
As close friends of the Pattons, the Connor arrived the day before Easter. And tomorrow there will be more guests, most of course Patton's colleagues in the Army.
"Mamie, Ike. You look so good! Major General Connor also looked at the radiant young couple in amazement.
Of course, he knew about the tragedy two months ago, and he knew that they were immersed in grief and could not extricate themselves, and he knew from the mouths of the Bartons about the "miracle" that had just happened. Now witnessing it with his own eyes really surprised him.
"Mamie, it's good that you're like this now!" Mrs. Virginia Connor also came over and gave Mrs. Eisenhower an affectionate hug. They're old friends.
I heard the woman say in surprise and joy, "Mamie." When I heard about it just now, I didn't believe that the Chinese were so magical, but now I kind of believe you when I see you like this. ”
And Mrs. Eisenhower said very seriously: "Virginia, Mr. Yuan is really a magical person, and a good person. That's right......"
She looked around and asked suspiciously, "Where did Mr. Yuan and George go?" ”
"Oh, they haven't gone down in the sun yet." Mrs. Patton said.
Our Master Yuan ate a little bit, and saw that he was about to have dinner again, so he went out to eat. As the master, Major Patton naturally had to accompany him.
There is an English proverb, Speak of the devil and he ill appear.
As soon as everyone in the game room talked about Master Yuan, he walked in with Major Patton in a custom riding suit, high riding boots, and a delicate horsewhip in his hand.
"Mr. Yuan, thank you so much. We don't know how to repay you......" Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhower immediately greeted each other, again thanking them heartily.
Yuan Yanqian hurriedly raised the whip in his hand to stop it: "Two, please don't say that." I'm not doing this to repay you......"
While they were polite to each other, the others on the other side also started talking.
Major General Connor asked curiously, "George, is what you just said true?" Is this Chinese really a psychic medium? ”
Major Patton shook his head and said, "Major General, I asked Mr. Yuan just now, but he denied it......"
"So how did he communicate with Ghost?" Mrs. Connor was even more interested in this kind of question.
"I've asked this question as well...... Major Patton actually showed an embarrassed look and said hesitantly, "Mr. Yuan said that the ghost in this world is actually just a natural phenomenon that can be explained by the wave-particle duality of quantum physics. (note 1)
Connor and his wife glanced at each other, and Virginia couldn't help but interrupt: "Quantum physics? Wave-particle duality? What the hell is this? ”
"That's ......" Major Patton, who felt that his IQ had been hit hard since just now, scratched his head, and pointed to Master Yuan, who was chatting with the Eisenhowers, "Why don't you go and ask him directly." ”
