Chapter 550: Jiang Baili and MacArthur

Wang Hengyue's speech at the National Congress made him a household name in the United States!

All major newspapers have published Wang Hengyue's wonderful speech on the front page in the most conspicuous position on the front page.

"A military strongman who changed the pattern of the Far East"

"A staunch ally of the United States, protector of peace in the Far East"

"A great military power who does not like war, a guardian of peace in the Far East, an advocate of a new world order"

Almost all the newspapers used a similar tone to refer to the dictator of the East.

"Dictator"? Yes, some newspapers call it that, but without the slightest malice.

In the eyes of the Americans, this dictator from the Central Empire is an indispensable ally of the United States in the Far East and a staunch defender of American interests in the Far East.

"Wang Hengyue", these three words have become the most frequent characters in American newspapers!

He became a topic of conversation among Americans, and he became a legend in the minds of Americans. In him, indeed, there are all the prerequisites for a strange story.

He was young, he was the youngest head of state of an influential nation in the world; He always likes to wear military uniforms, and he is heroic and extraordinary; His wife, beautiful and dignified enough, is enough for a few days to drive those fantasizing Americans crazy.

More importantly, he was "born and raised" in the United States, which is more in line with one of the most important aspects of the American heroic plot:

You can be a foreigner, but you have to grow up in the United States! Receive an American-style education!

It is precisely this point that makes countless Americans willing to regard Wang Hengyue as a representative figure of the American hero's dream!

What is unexpected is that Wang Hengyue's previous experiences have also been excavated by the Americans.

How did he go from an obscure little person to a unified country. And his heroic deeds on the battlefield, such as how he led a group of recruits to defeat the "powerful" local bandits with almost no weapons, how he rode a war horse, brandished a sharp sword, and defeated the rebels in Xibizang, of course, and the extraordinary courage he showed in the Protectorate War, in the Battle of Unification

When these stories were published one by one, all walks of life throughout the United States went crazy for the great president of this middle country!

Hero, this is an absolute "bred by the United States" hero!

It is slightly regrettable that the Americans have taken the lead in some aspects.

On August 11, 1920, by Charlie. Chaplin, Van Punk, his wife Mary. Bickfu and the famous director Griffiths jointly invested in the United States Film Company, a place called Hollywood on the west coast of the United States, a place called Hollywood, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, California, announced that they would abandon the film "Zorro's Mark" that they had decided to shoot before, and instead shoot a heroic biopic: "The King of Sichuan"!

The movie "King of Sichuan" was shot by the great director Griffiths himself, and he is a well-established actor who is well versed in various fighting skills, and is also one of the investors of the United States Film Company.

This movie is based on Wang Hengyue, the president of the Republic of China, and even directly uses the name "Wang Hengyue" as the protagonist's name in the movie.

It roughly describes a young Chinese-American named "Wang Hengyue" who decides to give up his family business and go on an adventure in the distant kingdom of China. In Zhongyuan, he experienced countless hardships, overcame all kinds of difficulties, dangers, and desperate situations, and finally became the "King of Sichuan" in Zhongyuan, and at the same time, he also won the return of the beautiful people.

"The King of Sichuan" was filmed in just over two months, and was released in the United States in January 1921.

The name Wang Hengyue shines in Europe and the United States!

Immediately, the film company struck while the iron was hot, and announced the filming of the sequel to "The King of Sichuan" again that year: "The King of the Middle Kingdom"!

"The King of the Middle Kingdom" has also achieved great success, and Fan Punk, the actor of "Wang Hengyue" in the film, has also jumped from an American movie star to a world movie superstar. Similarly, Griffiths, whose career was declining, also turned around with the help of this film and became a hot director again, and since then he has shot a number of films set in China. …,

It's a pity that the story of the Chinese people was not filmed by the Chinese people first!

That's the only thing that's regrettable

When the Zhongyuan National Fever and Wang Hengyue Fever swept the United States, Jiang Baili, chief of staff of the General Staff of the Central Yuanguo State, Cheng Biguang, chief of the Navy of the Admiralty, and Gu Weijun, chief of foreign affairs, were also in full swing to conduct a series of negotiations with the United States.

United States Military Academy at West Point.

Founded on March 16, 1802, the Union Union West Point Army Military Academy welcomed the first distinguished guest from the Middle Kingdom of the East in the history of the school for more than 100 years:

Jiang Baili, Chief of Staff of the Republic of China!

At that time, the 31st president of the United States Military Academy at West Point, a 40-year-old brigadier general of the United States Army:

Douglas. MacArthur!

Douglas. MacArthur, chief of staff of the 42nd Division of the U.S. Army during World War I, was appointed president of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1919, the youngest superintendent of the U.S. Army in the history of the U.S. Army.

Jiang Baili was very strange, when he visited the West Point Military Academy, why Heng Shuai was so interested in the principal of the American Military Academy at West Point, and even specifically told himself to pay more attention to observing this person.

In Jiang Baili's view, Douglas. MacArthur didn't have anything particularly remarkable about his pipe other than his penchant for keeping his mouth in his mouth.

In front of the guests of the Central Kingdom, MacArthur looked a little arrogant, and he introduced the situation of West Point to his Oriental guests with a pipe in his mouth.

Jiang Baili didn't care about MacArthur's attitude, he listened carefully to the other party's introduction, and became particularly interested in one of the mottos of the West Point Military Academy:

"Ignorance" - eager to learn, always treat yourself as a student, and ask some "stupid questions"!

Jiang Baili greatly appreciated this.

MacArthur seemed to want to show off something in front of the Chinese people, and specially prepared for him to observe a devil's training course.

Pointing to the students who were sweating in extremely difficult conditions, MacArthur took his big pipe in his mouth and asked, "I heard that there is also a Whampoa Military Academy in the Central Territory, which also trains army officers, do they also have such training?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Baili nodded and replied.

MacArthur seemed a little unconvinced that the Chinese could train in such a bad situation: "Really? ”

Jiang Baili laughed.

MacArthur was a little reluctant: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, let's just imagine, if the Chinese and American armies meet on the battlefield, who do you think will win?" ”

"I don't know."

Jiang Baili's answer surprised all Americans, including MacArthur, but then Jiang Baili said; "There is not much point in talking on paper, there are too many places to decide the outcome of the war, logistics, supplies, commanders' decisions on the spot, etc., sometimes any small victory can determine the outcome of a battle."

MacArthur shrugged.

In his opinion, the Chinese people answered this because they were afraid.

came to a classroom, where the teacher was simulating an offensive and defensive drill, and when he saw a guest coming, the teacher did not stop, but continued to explain there.

The guests listened quietly, and when the instructor explained a problem of offensive and defensive combat, MacArthur suddenly said, "No, no, this is completely wrong. ”

The instructor handed the whip to MacArthur, who pushed it on the sand table: "Here, we need to increase the strength of four or five divisions to break up the enemy's offensive from the front." After that, we must resolutely counterattack to gain the advantage on the battlefield! ”

As he spoke, his eyes turned to Jiang Baili: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, I heard that you once served as a trainee company commander in the German Seventh Army. The commander of your unit is Paul. Feng. Hindenburg. I also heard that one day Hindenburg summoned you and patted you on the shoulder, saying that Napoleon said that in a few years the East will produce a great general, and that may be on you. Well, I guess you must have better military talent than I am, don't you? ”

Jiang Baili's eyes glanced hastily at the sand table, and smiled faintly: "The handsome Hindenburg Yuan is too famous, and I don't have that much talent." ”

MacArthur, however, did not seem to want to let him go: "No, Marshal Hindenburg's commanding talent is universally recognized, and since he praised a person in this way, then this person must have his talent." Mr. Chief, do you think there are any flaws in my deployment? Can it be defeated? ”…,

The obvious provocation in his words made the officers of the Central Kingdom who came to visit the West Point Military Academy with Jiang Baili very angry, but Jiang Baili still said in that faint tone: "I don't have any particularly good suggestions. ”

"No, as an officer, the first priority is to be honest, this is also one of the mottos of West Point, I see your disdain in your eyes, is there something wrong with my deployment?" MacArthur was polite, but aggressive.

"Yes, the first priority of a soldier is honesty." Jiang Baili seemed to be very emotional, he took the whip from MacArthur's hand, and ordered a little sand table:

"Mr. Douglas, I beg your pardon for my rudeness, there is a big problem with your disposition, if according to your disposition, here, here, here, I will devote three divisions of troops, although you have the advantage in the front, but your flanks have been completely exposed to my blows, and in one day, your troops will be completely routed!"

MacArthur and the Americans frowned and stared carefully at the sand table, thinking hard, and they couldn't believe what the Chinese people were saying!
