Chapter 342: The President's Temptation
This is completely different from the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War was an unjust war, and it had nothing to do with the United States, but the United States contributed people, money, and efforts to fight for several years, and if it won the war, then the American military could still play it up, but it lost.
Therefore, even in later films, the Vietnam War during the filming period only promoted the spirit of the American military, and it would not rise to the political level at all, because there was no way to say it.
But now, the war in Hokkaido is different.
No matter how forceful the Soviets were, saying that it was what was going on in the first place, that they were teased by MacArthur, that the Soviet Union, as the victorious power, should divide and occupy the island countries, and so on, it is useless to say this.
Maintaining the status quo is a well-established rule.
Every country has times when it is strong and sometimes it is weak, and if any country tries in vain to restore its territory in its most glorious days, the result can only be to cause turmoil in the whole world.
Yes, it is the turmoil of the world, for example, Ah San in the south, who fantasizes about restoring the territory of the Mughal period in the past all day long, and wants to constantly wage wars against foreign countries, but he was taught a lesson by China on the border, and he was honest.
Argentina had always fantasized about taking back the Malvinas Islands, waged war, and as a result, the military junta fell, and in any case, it was a world consensus to maintain the status quo, unless there were great changes, such as the First and Second World Wars, to redefine the sphere of influence.
Now, the Soviets just want to change the status quo, they want to get island countries, they want access to the Pacific Ocean, no matter how the Soviets whitewash, in international norms, what they see is that the Soviets are brutally invading, and then the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, and the same is true.
In short, the Soviets are waging war! And this war was finally stopped under the compromise of the United States, and now, in the eyes of the Americans, this is also a defeat, this defeat, they cannot blame the incompetence of the army, it can only be attributed to their disgust with the army, so that the strength of the army has greatly decreased!
It is extremely ridiculous that the people unanimously agree to control the size of their own army, reduce their army, and eliminate their own army, and now, it is just a good time to give Nathan a chance to explain to the people that a strong army is the guarantee of national security!
"Peace is not something that comes from retreating, because it will make the enemy more greedy." Anyway, there is freedom of speech in the United States, so if you just make your own prophecy, when your prophecy comes true, it will be even more inspiring the public's dissatisfaction with Carter.
Yes, a person like Carter is suitable to be an ambassador of peace at the United Nations, but he is definitely not suitable to be the president of the United States! Even if you talk about it, look at the businessman presidents of later generations, spraying this and that all day long, in short, just for the interests of the United States.
Carter is betraying the interests of the United States, and his betrayal is still worthless, which will only make the enemy more greedy!
"The goal of the Soviets is definitely not to get half of Hokkaido, according to what President Roosevelt promised before, the goal of the Soviets is the whole of Hokkaido, the whole island nation, and the Pacific Ocean! Think about the shameful Pacific war that the island nation waged against us back then, and now, the Soviets, are taking the role of the island people! ”
It was a disgrace for the United States, no matter what kind of political views it held, as long as you think of Hawaii, Pearl Harbor, you are full of anger, and now, seeing that the Soviet Union is about to become such a country.
The Soviets gained Hokkaido, then, it will be easier to go out of the Pacific Ocean!
"So, although we have stopped fighting now, this war is far from over, and one day in the future, the greedy Soviets will continue to provoke conflicts and continue to attack.
"We must not have any illusions, only a strong army can protect the security of the United States and maintain world peace!" Nathan said: "I hope everyone supports the army, only when the army is strong, can the country have hope!" ”
Nathan is a little major anyway, and even so, what can President Carter do about himself?
At the scene, someone has set up a camera, and Nathan's words just now have all been recorded, and it is conceivable that Nathan will definitely become a national sensation again because of this passage.
No one dared to say that, even if there was judgment in the army, they didn't dare to say it, but Nathan didn't care.
"Medellin, I'm sorry, please call you by that name, everyone is more familiar with this name." At this moment, in front of the person carrying the camera, another person with a microphone squeezed over: "I want to ask, have you considered running for president of the United States?" ”
"Yes, you are running for president of the United States, and we will definitely support you!" There was an immediate response.
Running for president of the United States? Nathan hadn't really thought about it.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they think that the president of the United States is very awesome, who he wants to fight, who he wants to toss, who he wants to toss, and I say that if I want to increase tariffs, then I have to increase them.
In fact, the president of the United States is only the spokesman of the capitalists, and his coming to power is only a winner and a microphone in the competition between the capitalist forces.
If you want to be the leader, you have to go to those dictatorial countries, and you can say whatever I want, and one person has the final say. The army also listens to me alone, so that's good enough.
But the United States is not good, and the American military will never interfere in politics, let alone be absolutely loyal to the president.
Moreover, when you are president, what you want to do will inevitably hinder some people, and even your life will be in danger, think about President Kennedy back then, the assassination incident was confusing, but the final conclusion was that the killer's personal behavior, even if you think about it with your ass, you can know that there must be something wrong with it.
It's not fun to be president, on the contrary, it's interesting to be the controller behind it, to be the big capitalist behind it.
It's like in the long river of history, one dynasty after another has fallen, but those inconspicuous families can continue to multiply and accumulate wealth from generation to generation.
Especially, like Jenny, behind it, there must be a big family, and for some reason, Nathan suddenly thought of Jenny again.
Although Nathan thought about it a lot, but in fact, it was only a few seconds later, facing everyone, Nathan said: "I am a soldier, a pilot, and my ambition is to fly Tomcat fighters and teach the Soviets a lesson in person, not to point fingers behind my back." ”
