However, the Federal Army, which had not been seen when the private forces were shooting the disabled veterans, appeared at this time, and on the one hand, they took control of the waterways and prevented the veterans from entering Manhattan Island, and on the other hand, General John Joseph Pershing, who had been defeated repeatedly during the Three Kingdoms War, personally persuaded the veterans to hand over the forbidden weapons and go home, and repeated the famous words of Theodore Roosevelt during the Three Kingdoms War: "Don't ask what the country has done for you, first ask what you have done for the country." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info", asking the veterans to endure and get through this difficult time with the United States.

"Your Excellency, it's just us who are in trouble! And the same poor workers and peasants (not counting the big farmers, of course)! While we can only watch in despair as our children starve to death, you noble gentlemen can still leisurely drink Brazilian coffee and Indian tea! A representative of a veteran with a terrible scar on his face stepped forward and shot back unceremoniously, his eyes full of anger and hatred, and with his terrible appearance, the faint of heart would have nightmares at the first glance.

John Joseph Pershing was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this scarface was his former subordinate, although the highest was promoted to second lieutenant at that time, it stands to reason that Pershing, who was already a high-ranking and powerful at that time, would not care even if he saw it, but he was pierced by a bullet through his cheek and out of the side of his neck, and he was lucky to survive, this matter is well known in the army, so Pershing quickly remembered, that rock-solid heart softened a little for a moment, and said in a slow tone, "I remember that you are a hero in the war against China, How did you also retire from the army and demobilize? What the hell are those guys doing? Schneider, don't worry, since I know about this matter, I will definitely take care of it, not only you, but other similar situations, I can also recommend going to Virginia or even West Point for further study......"

"Hahaha, are you a charity, or a bribe?" It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and he couldn't stop laughing, laughing and shedding tears. After the laughter stopped, Scarface asked the old superior sarcastically, "It's useless to buy me alone, you have to buy all the veterans, our requirements are not high, just pay the pension and compensation in advance, otherwise, maybe the government will introduce some kind of policy to shrink the money again......"

John Joseph Pershing's expression quickly returned to his usual state, and even more indifferent, "It's impossible, the federal government doesn't have that much money." ”

"Well, how about a three-year advance and the rest paid off in ten years?" Scarface lowered his demands, and his expression became serious, and now what they were asking for was what they really wanted.

But John Joseph Pershing's expression became more and more indifferent, and he shook his head coldly, "This is also impossible, if the government still has money, it will not cut pensions and compensation......"

"The government is out of money, I know, but those gentlemen on Wall Street have money, money! They only need to give a small amount of it, so that our children will not starve to death, and the federal government will increase taxes on them, won't they have money? Scarface finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked sharply, not giving face to his former boss at all.

General Pershing's expression did not change in the slightest, and he said coldly, like a robot, that every American is familiar with, "Private property is sacrosanct." ”

"Is the money of the capitalists more important than the lives of the poor?" After Scarface heard Pershing's answer, his expression became calmer than ever, and even a smile appeared, and he gave one last military salute to his former superiors, "Thank you, Your Excellency, General, your words have made me finally make up my mind......

John Joseph Pershing turned away with a cold face as if he hadn't heard this sentence at all, only to hear another sentence from behind him, "Thank you for telling the truth and not choosing to deceive us......"

General Pershing's steady pace paused suddenly, but he soon continued to move forward and never looked back......

After returning to the army, the government representative who had been ordered to negotiate with him finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "That Scarface was your subordinate just now?" ”

"It used to be ......," Pershing replied faintly, and then his tone immediately became extremely firm, "now the enemy!" ”

But just as Pershing hardened his heart and prepared to suppress the veterans by force, the current US President Woodrow Wilson, who listened to the representative's report on the negotiation process, immediately became furious, called angrily, and yelled at Pershing, "Bastard, didn't you say that you want to stabilize those poor ghosts first?" Are you telling the truth? Do you think I dare not remove you from your post? Is it true that there is no one available in the United States? ”

"I'm a soldier, not a politician!" John Joseph Pershing, without giving the president the slightest face, replied unceremoniously, and then heard the sound of porcelain shattering on the phone......

The angry Woodrow Wilson almost wanted to replace Pershing immediately, but there is really no second general in the current U.S. Army who is capable of prestige and merit enough to convince the public, although he has promoted some young generals with excellent grades or prominent backgrounds in military schools who are unlikely to sympathize with the poor, such as Douglas MacArthur, a top student at West Point, and George Patton, who was born into a famous family and has a prominent family, but he himself has only recently become president. Those young people who came to office later simply did not have time to master the army. So, until those young men were able to hold the situation, Woodrow Wilson really had to continue with John Joseph Pershing.

Although John Joseph Pershing did not want to accept such an order that would inevitably damage his reputation, he still meticulously did his job and prepared for the army to launch a large-scale campaign to suppress the rebellion of the veterans. After all, the veterans have been discharged, and even if they can get weapons, they will not have a lot of ammunition, and unless they can seize the arsenals, their riots can only be riots, and it is impossible to deal a substantial blow to the United States.
