"Mr. President, Air Force One is ready for you to go. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The elderly President MacArthur stood at the window of the Oval Office of the White House, nodded to Secretary of State Dulles, finally sighed, and slowly lowered the curtains.

Thin curtains and thick floor-to-ceiling glass windows could no longer block the tsunami-like protests and demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of Americans calling for the president to step down -- and President MacArthur understood the indignation of the American people outside, because he had risen to the presidency as a great American hero, and after nine years of presidential term, he had deeply disappointed the American people who supported him and himself.

Yes, even he himself was disappointed!

Because just two weeks ago, he had already made the decision to accept the Prime Minister of the United Aryan States, Rudolph. Hess's proposal for Atlantic economic integration...... Just after the Americans secretly conducted an underground nuclear test in Australia!

Giving the United States the atomic bomb at all costs was something MacArthur began to push for as soon as he was elected president, squeezing huge sums of money out of his already very tight finances and investing in the Manhattan Project in Australia.

And this secret weapons project, which cost billions of dollars and lasted for more than ten years, finally succeeded not long ago!

The United States now has the atomic bomb!

At the same time, the United States also violated the European Community-United States Peace Treaty by establishing a base in Australia for the development and testing of jet aircraft before the 10-year restriction period (restricting the development of jet aircraft). Also in 1956 (the first year after the end of the 10-year restriction period) came up with the first American jet fighter.

In addition, MacArthur invested heavily in the ambiguous area of the Treaty, that is, in conventional submarines. Based on the Type 21 U-boat -- because the development route of nuclear submarines was determined early, the Type 21 U-boat was made public after the war and sold to many South American countries, and the United States naturally had the means to get the drawings -- it developed several medium-sized (underwater displacement of 1,500-3,000 tons) and large (underwater displacement of more than 3,000 tons) high-performance submarines, and also developed closed-cycle diesel engines and compressed liquid oxygen supply technology. This has enabled the U.S. submarine force to have a real long-term underwater submersible and submersible capability.

Under MacArthur's orders, the U.S. Navy also developed cruise missiles that could be used for shallow firing to accompany the use of large, high-performance submarines, giving the United States the lowest level of strategic counterattack capability.

And now the United States has the atomic bomb again! It can be said that the layout of the two former presidents, Truman and Kennedy, in 1945, has now been successful.

But to the great surprise of the "heroic president" MacArthur, the United States, which could get back on its feet, is now facing unprecedented difficulties, and these difficulties are simply impossible to solve by military means.

Because the United Aryan States, with Germany at its core, now has a super-powerful military!

This intercontinental country, which was born out of World War II, has achieved much more than the United States in the past decade or so.

Now the United States only secretly possesses an entry-level atomic bomb with a yield of 20,000 tons, and because it is too large, it has no actual combat capability at all. The United Aryan States, on the other hand, has at least 10,000 miniaturized nuclear warheads that can be used in real combat, and 500 of them are hydrogen bombs with a yield of 5 million tons! Enough to wipe all of humanity off the face of the earth!

Now the United States only has entry-level jet fighters, while the adversary Aryan United States has a supersonic fighter with more than 2.3 times the speed of sound, and is also equipped with advanced medium- and short-range air-to-air missiles, a combat radius of more than 1,500 kilometers, and can also be refueled in the air. The performance is completely capable of sling American jet fighters!

However, the conventionally powered submarines possessed by the United States, no matter how large they are, cannot actually be compared with the nuclear submarines equipped by the United Aryan Navy, which are completely epoch-making super underwater killers.

What's even more terrifying is that the United Aryan States is now also equipping their underwater killers with submarine-launched ballistic missiles with a range of up to 1500 km!

It is very likely that these terrible ballistic missile nuclear submarines are lurking under the water off the east coast of the United States, and in just ten minutes, the east coast can be completely flattened.

Moreover, the United Aryan States may well possess even more powerful intercontinental ballistic missiles - although they have never admitted to possessing such a destructive weapon, they launched a manned spacecraft into orbit 300 kilometers above the ground in early 1958 on a huge launch vehicle, thus achieving the first manned space flight in human history.

On the other hand, the United States does not even have a rocket that can launch artificial satellites, and of course there are no artificial satellites that can be launched......

In the race to open up outer space, the United States has already lost the first and second games, and is far behind the Europeans!

However, what made MacArthur feel most helpless was the huge disadvantage of the United States in economic competition.

The economic problem is now the main problem that MacArthur, as the president of the United States, has to face!

With the impetus of the huge reparations in the United States, the process of Aryan reunification has been advancing rapidly over the past decade or so. By 1955, the year of Hitler's death, 17 countries, including Germany (including the German Republic), France, Great Britain, Russia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Hungary-Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, Denmark, and Ireland, had joined the United Aryan States.

However, Hitler's death did not cause the process of Aryan unification to slow down or even regress as the American people imagined. Because Aryan unification is not just a political process, but also an irreversible economic process.

A huge market with a population of 550 million, rich resources, vast land, developed economy and leading technology gradually appeared on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean with the process of Aryan unification.

With the death of Hitler, who had become too racist, the obstacles that had hindered the flow of people, resources, capital and technology to the states of the United Aryan States were gradually withdrawn completely.

By 1958, the states of the United Aryan States had truly achieved economic unification and the "liberalization" of the internal economy - Germany began to establish an economic system that combined private capital and a planned economy after the Nazi Party came to power. This system did work very well in the '30s and '40s, helping Germany to get out of the economic crisis and concentrate its resources on preparing for war.

However, during the establishment of the United Aryan States after the war, many problems arose with this system. It was mainly the planned economic system of the states (each of which imitated Germany in its economic system) that limited the formation of a unified Aryan market. At the same time, it has also caused two stubborn diseases: local protection and industry monopoly.

So after Hitler was replaced with severe Parkinson's disease, Rudolf who helped him govern. Hess, Herman. Goering and Albert. Speer began to carry out economic reforms. The gradual abolition of all kinds of unreasonable controls within the United Aryan States, and the reduction of the power of the state governments to intervene in the economy - had to be reduced, otherwise there would be no state integration, and even tariffs and monetary unions would be a mere formality, so that Aryan unity would be a false façade.

The implementation of the policy of economic integration and liberalization aimed at strengthening the unity of the states (which can only be liberalized, otherwise the states will be in serious conflict over the development of domestic trade plans) has significantly increased the economic vitality and efficiency of the United Aryan States, while at the same time breaking down regulations and administrative monopolies and promoting investment.

The liberalization of the flow of people (mainly the westward flow of Slavs) greatly promoted the economic development of Western Europe, led by Germany and France. The convergence of populations generates enormous demand and productivity in itself.

Hitler's efforts to prevent the influx of Slavs into Western Europe ostensibly protected the employment of Germans and Frenchmen, but at the same time deprived France and Germany, especially Germany, of sufficient labor and skilled personnel. The "shortage" of population has limited the formation of megacities and metropolitan areas, making it impossible for the economy of Western Europe to fully enjoy the dividends generated by population agglomeration.

So after Hess and others lifted all kinds of restrictions, the economy of the United Aryan States began a new round of take-off.

The huge and unified market is beginning to exert its terrifying power!

At the same time, the U.S. economy, which once had the world's largest unified market, began to suffer from a narrow market.

Of course, the "smallness" of the United States is not really "small", and the position of the world's second largest market has always been there.

But the big American corporations and the working class, accustomed to enjoying the world's first market, can hardly tolerate the crampedness of the world's second place. Because the main international competitiveness of large US companies comes from the large domestic market -- with the support of the largest market, the cost of investment in technology and new product development by US companies can be borne by more consumers, so it is easier for US companies to obtain economies of scale. At the same time, it can also be based in the United States, open up overseas, spill over the scale effect brought by the large American market to the international market, and win more profits for American companies. With sufficient income, U.S. companies can pay workers relatively high compensation, and high compensation further stimulates the development of the domestic market in the United States, thus forming a virtuous circle.

But now, the emergence of a unified Aryan market, much larger than the American market, has allowed large European companies to gain greater scale than American companies. At the same time, the opening of markets such as India, the Middle East, and much of Africa to the United Aryan States, which also accept American goods, but with higher tariffs and non-tariff barriers, gives European companies an additional advantage of scale.

As a result, in the Roman and New Asbanian markets, where the supposedly free Central and South American markets (excluding New Asbania) and American and European (Aryan) goods can enjoy the same treatment, American products without scale have also declined in the past decade or so.

Eventually, U.S. goods almost shrank to the mainland, and the originally huge market became narrow.
