readx; His military secretary Bonner. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Commodore Fellers was taken aback, and he said:

"It's going to make the men of Ben very unhappy!"

MacArthur replied proudly:

"I don't care about this, I want to discredit Ben's army and men, and women don't want war."

Brigadier General Fellers tried to dissuade him, and said with a grudge:

"This is a sensitive topic, we are all soldiers, let's let the politicians deal with these things!"

General MacArthur smiled and said:

"That's right! Don't mess with these yellow-skinned dwarf male monkeys, you know, we only have one division, but we have to watch 19 elite divisions, and there are 70 million crazy people. ”

The large transport plane landed at 2:20 p.m. Tokyo time at Atsugi Airport, which was guarded by U.S. forces. The first to step out of the cabin door and down the gangway was General MacArthur, who said to himself:

"And voila! This is the end result! ”

His Excellency the Commander of the Allied Occupation Forces was Major General Ichkelberg, who had just arrived in Ben the day before. MacArthur said to him:

"Bob, the road from Melbourne to Tokyo is long and difficult, and now it's finally there!"

The Major General replied:

"Yes, General! However, I feel that the road ahead will be longer and more difficult! ”

He said that he used to welcome the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces that occupied their country was a dozen tattered cars, including white, silver-gray, celestial, grass-green, black, and golden-yellow, plus a red fire truck that opened the way. When MacArthur and his party reluctantly squeezed into the broken cars, the irony happened. The fire truck that opened the way started the engine, and with a bang, it was like a grenade exploding, and a team of American soldiers who served as guards immediately lay down, pulling the bolt of the gun in a hurry, and said that he was also extremely nervous, and only after 3 minutes did he realize that it was the sound of the fire truck engine starting, what a false alarm! The convoy was finally on the road, but the exhaust of the fire truck that opened the way was like a 20mm cannon, "Bang! Bang! The sound rang out in an earth-shattering way, and the American generals were particularly uneasy, as if they were firing machine guns directly at the car window. This highest-ranked, most dilapidated and most unimpressive convoy headed for Yokohama with artillery on its way, where the headquarters of the Allied occupation forces was predetermined. Nearly 30,000 soldiers of the Chinese army were stationed at the sentry posts along the way, but they were all facing the tattered motorcade of all kinds of colors of Admiral MacArthur's five-star General with their butts.

Americans were housed in the newly renovated Great Light Hotel after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. The next day, General Wainwright, who had been captured in the Philippine campaign, was sent to Yokohama from a prisoner of war camp in northeastern China. This was done at the request of Admiral MacArthur, because it was General Wainwright who replaced him as a prisoner of war for four years, and the five-star general owed the captured American general a great favor. MacArthur was taken aback at the first sight of his friend, a commander who had lost far more troops at the Battle of Bataan than any later American general, who was described as emaciated, old, with gray hair and scrawny, dressed in the smallest set of civilian American clothes, but the suit hung loosely over him like a pocket. MacArthur hugged him emotionally and said to him with mixed feelings:

"Come on! Jim! How did you become a skinny monkey? Now that it's all in the past, I can accommodate any request you have! ”

Wainwright smiled bitterly and said:

"Thank you! If it were possible, general, I would now like to command only one corps. That's what I've always asked for! ”

"No problem, Jimu, you take care of your body first, and I will try to return your original legion to you!"

But later, MacArthur privately told his adjutant that General Wainwright had gone insane due to fatigue!

As early as around 20 August, the allies and the Allies held repeated consultations on where to hold the official signing ceremony for the surrender of the Allies, and both sides were deeply troubled. According to the original intention of the Americans, the signing ceremony should be held in Tokyo, and for good reason. First of all, it was said that Ben was a defeated country, and it was the most logical thing for the allies to accept the surrender of Yue himself in the capital of Yuben. Second, why not learn from Hitler? Hitler summoned the defeated and surrendered French political axe representatives to the Compige Forest in France, where the German defeat and surrender in World War I were signed, and the carriage was still the same carriage, but the two sides changed places, and the German mustache greatly humiliated the Gallic rooster. And it is ridiculous that these little Oriental devils have reason to be humiliated more than the French, and they have caused themselves to be humiliated by daring to attack Pearl Harbor and provoke the Pacific War, and at the same time to start a war with the United States, China, Britain, Australia, the Netherlands, and other countries.

In addition to the United States, China and the Soviet Union, the two largest victors in the war against the allies, were close neighbors, and it was more convenient for the delegation to arrive. These reasons are enough to say that I have signed the word of surrender more than 3 times. However, he resolutely opposed the signing of the agreement in Tokyo for only one reason: the safety of the representatives of the allies could not be guaranteed. Originally! If the signing ceremony is held in Tokyo, first of all, Prince Higashikunomiya, the prime minister who has just taken office, will resolutely say that he will not attend the signing ceremony, and it is very reluctant to take over this prime minister, he is a soldier, not a politician, and he does not want to nail himself to the shame of the history of the country. Of course, it is simply inconceivable that the emperor himself could not sign the instrument of surrender on behalf of the emperor.

If this kind of ceremony is really carried out in Tokyo, this will be another challenge to the honor of the Yamato nation, and under the current situation that is not very stable, no one dares to guarantee that the conspirators in the army will not take the opportunity to make trouble, and if thousands of distracted Japanese troops come in, or dozens of 'human bombs' rush in, this trouble will not be ordinary, and the political axe cannot guarantee that this situation will not happen. The Americans were speechless, saying that what he was saying was a fact that it was absolutely possible. Of course, this ceremony can also be held in the United States, and the Americans have little opinion on this. But the rest of the Allied powers were not happy and complained. Of course, the United States is the boss of the allies, but it is said that it is surrendering to the allies, not only to the United States, and the US mainland is too far away from the United States, separated by an entire Pacific Ocean, and it is said that it does not have such a long range of aircraft to transport the delegation, even if it uses American planes, it has to refuel at the Guam base, and then it must stop in Hawaii before it can finally fly to the American continent. Needless to say, no one can guarantee that the die-hard elements in their own country will not do anything on the plane, and if this delegation is planted in the Pacific Ocean on a US plane and fears the king, the Americans really do not want to bear this responsibility, not to mention that the representatives of other countries of the Allied countries also have to travel long distances, and there are some risks involved, and this method is not a good one.

So is it okay to hold a signing ceremony in China? Geographically speaking, it is ideal, but the Americans are reluctant. Moreover, the current political situation in China is also relatively complicated and not stable at all. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party blame each other and are tense. The American referees are so busy that the Americans simply don't want to make any further troubles in this situation. Britain, Australia, the Netherlands, and other countries naturally acted according to the eyes of the Americans, and they did not care where they signed the agreement. This time the Soviets wisely closed their foul mouth and said nothing. The polar bears are not stupid enough to be self-aware, the Soviets know that they leave a rather bad impression among the allies, and they do not hate the Americans and Chinese very much, after all, the Pacific War and the Sino-Japanese War were both provoked by Yu himself, and if he loses, he admits defeat and has nothing to say. And I hate the treachery of the Soviets and the behavior of falling into the well, and if the Chinese do not have a fire in the inner courtyard and are too busy to take care of themselves, it is estimated that they will find themselves desperately if they win the battle or not, then Outer Mongolia is cut from the Chinese.

The Soviets knew that they were playing the role of robbers who took advantage of the fire, and they were very despised. Besides, they didn't need to send troops, and it would have been a matter of time sooner or later for him to surrender, because he could no longer withstand the Americans' third atomic bomb. Their participation in the war proved to be superfluous, if not superfluous, but not very useful, at least not as much as they advertised. And there is a very heavy element of speculation, so it is better to speak less.

Everyone scrambled and discussed, but could not find a more appropriate plan, and the senior generals of the US military who knew about it regarded it as a joke of politicians. At the end of August, a five-star admiral of the US Navy and commander of the Pacific Fleet Chester flew to the 32nd Task Force. Nimitz talked about this with a smile to Liu Xirui one day, and the general said:

In the end, General Nimitz thought of a solution, and when this solution came to mind, he exclaimed impatiently: "Quick! Reports to the White House and the Admiralty. ”

Admiral Nimitz began to dictate the message, and the adjutant took note of it and turned to walk to the telecommunications room on the Enterprise. Nimitz said to Liu Xirui again:

Truman was very pleased to receive the telegram that the answer to the difficult question had finally been answered, and to his great satisfaction, he agreed to the plan without hesitation, and designated the surrendered warship as the battleship "USS Missouri." This warship is not only one of the 4 largest battleships in the world, but also named after his own homeland, and it is his daughter Mary who named this large warship, can the president not be satisfied!

The signing ceremony of Ben's surrender to the Allies was scheduled for September 2, 1945, three days after Admiral MacArthur's arrival at Ben, on the USS Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay.

On September 2nd, the weather in Tokyo Bay was not good. The gentle sea breeze brought a hint of coolness, and thick lead-gray clouds covered the sea and sky, and the mist was misty. In the past, there was no trace of all kinds of seabirds that flew tirelessly on the surface of the sea to feed, and there were no sea fish that jumped out of the water from time to time, and the sea seemed to lose its intoxicating blue color and become turbid, and the long waves were one after another, the waves were not big, but the sea seemed to be very uncalm. All in all, it's not going to be a pleasant morning.

The USS Missouri was moored about three nautical miles off the coastline of Tokyo Bay, and the waves crashed against its huge light gray hull. The USS Missouri is an Iowa-class battleship, and it is the third. Its sister ships are the USS New Jersey and the USS Wisconsin. The largest American battleship, which was launched in June 1944, had a standard displacement of 45,000 tons, a full load displacement of 52,000 tons, and a total length of 270 meters, equivalent to the flight deck length of an aircraft carrier, with a hull width of 33 meters and a side height of about 11.6 meters. In a sense, it is not inferior to the "Yamato" and "Musashi", the largest battleships in the United States, which have been sunk by US planes; in fact, the Americans created these three huge Iowa-class battleships in order to deal with the "Musashi" and "Yamato" of the Navy, and people have reason to believe that when such a giant ship cannon meets at sea, the sea duel of its standard large-caliber artillery must be brilliant, and in fact, in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Philippines, the duel of such battleships almost became a reality. However, the US carrier-based aircraft group sank the "Musashi" one step ahead, making it impossible for each other, which was supposed to be the largest battleship in the United States, to greet each other with large-caliber artillery.

The "Missouri" was equipped with 3 50-caliber 406-mm triple main guns, 10 30-caliber 127-mm dual-purpose twin secondary guns, 20 40-mm anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, 49 20-mm repeat-fire machine guns, and hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns. Such firepower is not powerful, and it will not have the upper hand in any way compared with the "Musashi" and "Yamato", so the Americans should still be proud of their naval aviation, and when the direct confrontation between battleships becomes a fact, it is estimated that the "Missouri", which was beaten to tatters, will definitely not be used to make it famous in the world. In fact, as a warship for combat purposes, the "Missouri" behaved really well. Five years later, in 1950, the warship crashed into a reef and suffered severe damage to its propulsion shaft.

At about 7:40 a.m., a destroyer approached the USS Missouri, and this destroyer brought in a large number of 'nothing to do' journalists, all from all over the world, the gentleman-like and polite British, the mild-mannered Chinese reporters, the elated and large American counterparts, the unhappy and silent self-explanatory, the noisy and noisy Soviets who were scurrying around like savages, and so on, and these people's task was to use their pens, cameras, and movie cameras to record this historical moment.

U.S. President S. Truman directly appointed MacArthur as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, who was responsible for arranging and presiding over the surrender ceremony and the occupation of the Allied forces. No one in the Allies raised any objections, and everyone knew that the Americans were the main force to defeat the little devils, and how to arrange it was the Americans' business. However, this arrangement caused the displeasure of Nimitz, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, who was also a five-star admiral, and the US Navy contributed more to the Pacific War than the US Army. In order to save the Navy's face and appease their angry dissatisfaction, Secretary of the Navy Forrest suggested to the President that since the signing ceremony was to be held on the USS Missouri, it would be better for MacArthur to sign on behalf of the Allies and Admiral Nimitz to sign on behalf of the United States! In this way, the interests of both parties are taken care of, and perhaps the problem is solved. Truman agreed to this plan.

Sure enough, the Navy was still dissatisfied with this plan, but finally reluctantly accepted it. MacArthur insisted that his flag be hoisted on the USS Missouri, but the Navy firmly disagreed. Due to the arrival of Admiral Nimitz, the "Missouri" was originally the flagship of Vice Admiral Halsey, and now even the flag of Vice Admiral Halsey has been lowered, and only the flag of Admiral Nimitz has been raised. Moreover, according to naval regulations, a warship can only raise one flag, and there is absolutely no precedent for raising the flag of an army general. The two sides quarreled and shouted at each other, and finally both sides took a step back and reached a consensus, and from the perspective of the overall situation, the navy agreed to raise two blue flags on the two masts, one representing MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, and the other on behalf of Admiral Nimitz, and the American flag was raised on the mainmast. Both sides calmly accepted the plan. Thus, to the music of the marching band, an American flag and two blue flags were raised aboard the USS Missouri.

The American flag that was hoisted on the mainmast was the same flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol in Washington on December 7, 1941, during the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and was sent from Washington by special plane.

On the other masts of the USS Missouri, the flags of the United States, China, Britain, the Soviet Union, and France were unfurled in the wind. A long, 3-meter-wide grass-green carpet was laid out between the No. 2 turret and the railing by the sailors in white sailors' uniforms, and in the middle the sailors brought a long dining table from the canteen and placed a wooden chair on each side of the table. In order to show their contempt for Yue himself, the sailors and officers on the ship casually wore civilian clothes, no ties, and some even wore khaki shirts and hats. It's almost no barefoot in shorts, or shirtless in a vest. After all, there are still so many delegations of the Allies, and while showing their contempt for the little one, the United States of America cannot lose face.

At around 8:45 a.m., the Allied delegations began to board the ship. First of all, the U.S. representative, Admiral C.W. Nimitz, the special presidential envoy and senior liaison officer of the Admiralty in the Pacific Theater, Edward Wenger, and the Chinese representatives, Admiral Xu Yongchang and Vice Admiral Ma Debi; British representative Bruce. Admiral Fleiser; General T.A. Brammey was represented by Australia, Moore Kosgrave by Canada, Leclery by France, D.E.L. Hellfrick by the Netherlands, Leonard Issette by New Zealand and Lieutenant General Jereviako by Soviet Union.

At 8:55 a.m., the delegation began boarding the battleship USS Missouri. The destroyer "Nansdowne" approached the battleship with 11 delegates on board. As for who to be the representative to surrender, he said that it is really very difficult for him to do it, and the prince of the imperial family, the new prime minister, Higashikure, does not want to suffer this kind of humiliation at all, he cannot bear it, and he would rather not be the prime minister than go to the signing ceremony in person. The guard, who had worked hard for peace for two years and almost lost his surname, was killed and never went. So this responsibility fell on the shoulders of the new foreign minister Chongguang, Chongguang thought that this was a painful and honorable task, as a representative of a defeated country to sign the surrender of this is really not a glorious thing, although not to say that it will be left in the history books for 10,000 years, but it is still a surrendered foreign minister, and his reputation is naturally plummeting. It is gratifying to note that this task was entrusted by the emperor himself, and he was the first emperor in his history to personally entrust foreign affairs to a foreign minister. Although the entrusted errand was frustrating, Shigemitsu still felt honored.

On behalf of the army to surrender to the Allies was the Chief of the General Staff of the Base Camp, General Umezu Mijiro, who had to come because the Emperor said to him:

"You must go in person and hand over your saber to the Allies, because you lost the battle, so you should go!"

Umezu silently obeyed. Born on January 8, 1882 in a peasant family in Oita Prefecture, Kitakyushu, he served as the military attache in Germany and Denmark, and he spent the longest time in China and made great achievements in the invasion of China by the Imperial Empire. His hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese, and the 731 unit secretly established by the army in the northeast and its four subordinate detachments were all from this general's hands, not to mention the rest, this alone was enough to hang him more than 10 times. Unfortunately, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East did not order his arrest until April 1946. And this Class A war criminal was only sentenced to life imprisonment in November '48. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and it did not let him live a long life, but let him suffer from painful cancer, and he couldn't resist the torture of illness, and this Class A war criminal finally died in Tokyo Sugamo Prison on January 8, 49, which can be regarded as evil and evil!

At 8:55 a.m., the delegation began to board the ship. At the head was a civil official wearing a high barrel top hat, a gray-black tuxedo, and a wide striped tie. The civil servant had a great time climbing up the gangway, as if he were groaning in pain every time he climbed the ladder. This civilian official is Mr. Shigemitsu Aoi, the foreign minister, and his left leg is a prosthetic leg, which was left in Shanghai, China, a few years ago, when an assassin blew off his left leg, and since then this gentleman has had difficulty walking on flat ground, let alone climbing the steep and long ramp of a warship. The American officers and men on the warship watched the well-dressed diplomat struggle on the gangway like monkeys, and they wondered why the others didn't help him. Immediately behind Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi was Senior General Umezu Mijiro, who had a gloomy face with a saber in his hand, and he looked with disdain at the "hillbilly" limping in front of him, ignoring his pain.

From the gangway of the "Missouri" to the rear wrench, and then to the front wrench where the signing ceremony was held, it was a long and painful journey for the members of this delegation, and it took more than 20 minutes for the group to stand at the signing table prepared by the Americans. Rear Admiral Tomioka, who came to surrender on behalf of the Navy, was amazed and angry, surprised that the Americans casually and carelessly handled such an important international matter, and was angry that the Soviets would have the face to appear here, and when the Soviets were beaten by the Germans and could not find the north, he said that he himself adhered to the "Soviet-said non-aggression pact," and no matter how much pressure the German political axe exerted, he said that he did not make any small moves against the Soviet Far East. Of course, the "Nomenkan Incident" and the "Zhang Gufeng Incident" in the early stage do not count. But when he was in a predicament, the Soviets not only rejected the request of the Soviet Union to mediate, but instead declared war on him and stabbed him in the back in Manchuria.

The moral standard of such a country is no higher than that of a prostitute. The fact that the Americans, the Chinese, and the British were the victorious countries was a definite fact, but were the Soviets worthy of being the victors in the war? Major General Tomioka stared angrily at the Soviet representative with the rank of lieutenant general, and wanted to smash the saber in his hand on his head.

Admiral MacArthur arrived, followed by the American representative, Admiral Nimitz, Lieutenant General Madebi, Lieutenant General Halsey, and other Allied representatives were also in place. MacArthur said aloud in English:

"We, the representatives of the belligerents, have gathered here to sign a solemn agreement so that peace can be restored. Disputes involving diametrically opposed ideals and ideologies have been seen on the battlefield. Therefore, there is no need for discussion or debate here. As representatives of the majority of the planet's population, we are not here with a spirit of distrust, malice and hatred. It is our duty to be victorious or defeated, to achieve a higher dignity that can only serve the sacred goal for which we have been fighting, which is eternal peace! All of us will use the understanding we have made here without reservation and faithfully implement it! It is my own sincere hope, and indeed the hope of all mankind, that, from this solemn moment, a better world will emerge from the bloodshed and massacres of the past, a world based on faith and understanding, a world dedicated to human dignity and capable of achieving the freedom, tolerance and justice that humanity so desperately needs. ”

The formal signing ceremony ensued, with 11 delegates dressed in black and yellow uniforms signing the official instrument of surrender. MacArthur pointed to another wooden chair next to the table, and Shigemitsu limped over to sit down. The text was sent to him, and there were two texts, one in English and the other in Chinese. In a panic, the Prime Minister took off his gloves and top hat, but dropped his cane to the ground. He looked at the two texts, touched his hat, and rubbed his gloves together, threatening to delay time. Ma Debi really wanted to pounce on him and slap him, and shouted at him:

"What? Fuck, hurry up and sign up! ”

In fact, Ma Debi knew that this stupid little devil diplomat didn't know where to sign. MacArthur also saw it, and he said to his chief of staff with disgust:

"Sutherland, tell this little devil where to sign it is."

Chongguang Aoi trembled and signed with both hands, he represented the political axe. The next step is to make an appearance with the military representative of the company, Admiral Umezu Yoshijiro, who represents the military base camp and also the army, and the representative of the navy is Rear Admiral Tomioka. Umezu walked stiffly to the table with a blushing face, and just before he could make the next move in his hands was a scene that surprised everyone. Ma Debi stepped in front of Umezu, unceremoniously grabbed the saber in General Umezu's hand and said loudly:

"You have been in China for the longest time, and I don't know how much Chinese blood is stained on this saber! Don't you think it's a little too late to surrender now? Blood debt and blood repayment! The military must pay for this! ”

Ma Debi held this saber and first came to the front of General Xu Yongchang, the representative of China. Admiral Xu Yongchang later recalled:

"It happened suddenly, and I was stunned, and I was really at a loss. But when I saw Ma Debi's sincere gaze, I knew that our bloody eight-year war of resistance had finally won the respect of the world. I was so excited that I almost burst into tears! ”

Ma Debi paid tribute to General Nimitz, the British representative, the Australian representative, the Netherlands representative, the New Zealand representative, and the Canadian representative one by one. But when he walked up to the Soviet representative, Lieutenant General Delevyako, he only glanced at the other party coldly and walked by. Finally he came to the signing table, and placed the saber in front of General MacArthur, MacArthur patted Madepil on the shoulder, pretending to hug the Colonel, and he whispered in Matew's ear:

"Well done, I have to give myself a little color to see!"

Umezu Mijiro's face turned from blue to white, and he hastily signed his name without sitting down, and then the representative of the navy, Tomioka, also hurriedly signed the matter.

MacArthur signed on behalf of the Allies, and the showy five-star general shared five pens. The first pen was written "doug", which he gave to General Wainwright, who was his prisoner. The second pen wrote "las", which he gave to his good friend, the British general Bai Xihua, who was captured at the fall of Singapore. The third pen reads "Mac." arthur", he turned and beckoned Ma Debi to his side, and said:

"General! You are the most admired and trusted person among the young people I know, can you send this pen to the China Political Axe Archive for me? Because it records the moment of this historical surname! "It's my pleasure to serve you, General!" Ma Debi took the black rod, and there were two circles of Parker pens decorated with gold thread on the cap.

The fourth pen, MacArthur gave to his alma mater--- West Point. The fifth was a red pen, which the five-star admiral had left behind, ready to give to his wife, who had escaped from the Bataan Peninsula with him.

Then the representative of the United States; Representative of China; Representative of the United Kingdom; representatives of the Soviet Union; Representatives of France, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries signed the two documents one by one, and the signing ceremony was over. Shared time: 14 minutes.

Admiral Nimitz quietly asked Liu Xirui on the other side:

"Liu! What about your birds? ”

Liu Xirui nodded knowingly and said softly:

"They're coming!"

The roar of heavy engines sounded in the sky, and 1,400 "B-29" bombers taking off from Guam, Saipan, and Tinian Island flew into Tokyo Bay in a neat formation. Behind this fleet are 1500 naval carrier-based aircraft. After circling 4,000 meters above the USS Missouri, the group flew in the direction of Mount Fuji, which was covered in clouds and fog. The sound of the motor echoes between the sea and the sky and the clouds, and the large fleet is indeed very shocking.

MacArthur walked over to another microphone on the nail wrench, and he gave a radio address:

"Today, the muzzle of the cannon is finally silent, a great tragedy has come to an end, and a great victory has been achieved. Death will no longer fall in the sky, the ocean will begin commercial shipping, and people can walk anywhere in the sun. The whole world has entered into peace and tranquility, the sacred task has been accomplished, and a new era has begun"

The dark clouds in the sky were blown away, and in the distance, the peaks of Mt. Fuji glistened in the sun. Is the war really over? No one can answer this question with certainty. But at least, the Second World War, which lasted six years, killed and maimed tens of millions of people and swept the world, has finally come to an end

If the question is asked, "What is 1600 Pennsylvania, Central, Washington, D.C.?" I'm afraid there are many people who can't answer. But if you say "White House", there are probably not many people in the world who don't know about it.

An hour earlier, Ma had been standing on Lafayette Square to the north adjacent to the building, admiring the presidential residence in the morning sunset. To the south of the White House is the famous Elips Park in Washington. Opposite the spherical, spiky-roofed main building of the White House is the towering Washington Monument.

Ma Debi looked at the building with great interest in the morning light, which was bright white in the sunlight. In the past 200 years of history, the longing building in front of you has deeply influenced the whole world, and this pile of buildings has also become a historical building. With the arrival of a single president of the United States, it has been incorporated into the American style of architecture. Ma Debi carefully looked at the White House, and he found that simplicity and elegance were probably the keynote of the construction of the White House at the beginning.

Ma Depil's observations and conclusions were very correct, and he had no idea that his thoughts were the same as those of George, the founding father of the United States and the first president of the United States of America, who had chosen the site of the White House. Washington's ideas are strikingly similar. Washington's philosophy was: "The White House is not an imperial palace, it should not be a luxury to be pursued, and the people who live in it should be servants of the state and the people." "Therefore it is required to be athenic, wide, sturdy and not too high, three floors are enough!

What amuses Ma Debi the most is that the building, which was built in 1792, took eight years to 1800. The first person to enter the White House was not the first president of the United States, George W. Washington, but the second president of the United States of America, John Brown. Adams. The traditional concept of Americans is so similar to that of Chinese, and the fact that Yanjing, the emperor of China's new dynasty, wants to live in the Forbidden City is not enough to show the majesty of the emperor. All the presidents of the United States have used the White House as their official residence, without exception. Therefore, the White House has become synonymous with American political axe.

Ma Debi still remembers with great regret, as if he remembered that when the Americans introduced him, he said that the designer of the White House was an Irish architect, whose name was James Jans. Hobben. This guy is based on an 18th-century English country house, and combines the European style of the famous Italian architect Plati. This Hawkburn is a world-class master, and the two are seamlessly combined, and the exterior is made of a white, hard limestone material from Virginia, giving it a pleasing feeling to the eye. But the building was not called the White House, the name of the White House was Theodore in 1902. President Roosevelt named it, and that's how people called it in the future.

About 600 meters in front of Ma Debi, the White House looks like an eagle with wings ready to fly in the rising sun, the hemispherical main building is its head and body, the east and west wings below the main building are the eagle's outstretched wings, and the flagpole on the hemispherical roof is the eagle's outstretched beak. It can also be thought of as a jet that has just taken off from the ground. The pointed flagpole is the sounding Kan on the nose.

However, Ma Debi feels that if there is no east and west wings, the main building of the White House will be a little stingy and a bit like the Chinese say "wearing a suit and wearing melon skin", although it is from the hands of famous teachers, and the building materials are special, but it is not more eye-catching than the homes of the rich and wealthy men in Washington City, and Ma Debi even feels that the main building of the White House is no better than the residence of the Cospeyers sitting on the side of Washington Square. But with the wing, the situation is completely different, it can be said that there is no long-lasting building that can combine the American style, the British style and the European architectural style so perfectly, so that it is simple, elegant, noble and majestic. The west wing of the White House is occupied by Theodore. It was built under the auspices of President Roosevelt in 1902. The East Wing was presided over by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was completed in 1941, the year the Pacific War broke out.

In the sun, this white building looks more like an Italian sculpture from the Renaissance!

(To be continued)
