Chapter 127: The Harbinger of the Tree Falling and Scattering
Ten months after World War III officially began, President Truman knew that the United States of America would not be able to win the world war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
However, he also knows very well that as a weak lame president, he cannot get the United States out of this world war that must be lost.
-- In the face of repeated defeats and collapses on all fronts, the United States has to pay an extremely tragic price if it wants to take the initiative to sue for peace.
And because of the ideological antagonism, the price of peace with the Soviet Union is much higher than the price of peace with the Nazis and fascists: if you bend your knee to the Soviet Union at this point, then you will have to be forced to adopt a planned economic system, or at least sit back and watch most of the world become a planned economic system, the United States may be able to retain, but the Wall Street financial conglomerates are ironclad - bonds, stocks, and a series of other financial games are not to be played.
-- The United States as a country can certainly afford to pay such a price, but the financial groups that control the United States behind the scenes cannot afford to pay this price.
Therefore, they decided to tie up the whole United States and fight to the death, and President Truman could only obediently obey the orders and do as he was told.
Otherwise, the Secret Service guard outside the Oval Office door might have barged in and shot him in the temple.
-- Anyone who has carefully studied the political history of the United States will notice a clue, whether overt or covert, that is, the US Government represented by the US President and the US capital oligarchy, especially the financial capital oligarchy on Wall Street, have been waging an arduous and extremely invisible war.
Before 1913, this invisible secret war was still won and lost, and the oligarchs could not completely control the financial and fiscal departments of the United States, but the government could not completely suppress the financial oligarchy. By the end of 1913, marked by the creation of the Federal Reserve, the oligarchs had finally achieved their final victory.
Also from this year, current, incoming, and outgoing U.S. presidents and their families were included in the permanent "protection" of the Secret Service.
And what kind of organization is the Secret Service? Please do not interpret it as the Ouchi Guard and the Central Guard Bureau in the Chinese's impression - On June 5, 1865, the U.S. Treasury Department established the U.S. Secret Service to crack down on economic crimes such as currency counterfeiting, which were becoming increasingly rampant. In 1901, after the assassination of President McKinley, Congress proposed that the Secret Service make it one of its tasks to protect the president, and in 1906 it was established by legislation. At this point, the U.S. Secret Service was given a dual mission: to protect the U.S. currency and the U.S. president, vice president, and other dignitaries. In 1913, Congress approved the permanent protection of the president and the president-elect and outgoing presidents by the Secret Service under the leadership of the Treasury Department. At this point, the central nervous system of the American state has been completely in the hands of the financial oligarchy.
-- Beginning in 1913, the President of the United States and his entire family were protected by the "Secret Service" for life, both in office and after his office; The "Secret Service" is also under the independent authority of the U.S. Treasury Department; The US Treasury Secretary was almost always held by executives from the Federal Reserve and various financial companies (such as Goldman Sachs), which was equivalent to the working staff of Wall Street bigwigs...... In other words, the White House Secret Service personnel are not the presidents' security guards at all, but the guards openly planted by Wall Street behind them and their families, and are always tasked with monitoring and even executing disobedient presidents, and the work of protecting the president is only incidental volunteers -- when President Kennedy was assassinated in the street, it was this "secret service" that provided him with "protection."
It can be seen that since 1913, the United States has ceased to be a republic in the true sense of the word, but, in a sense, has become a "constitutional monarchy". It's just that his "king" is not an emperor or king in the secular sense, or even a human being, but an abstract virtual symbol similar to the concept of religion, that is, the "dollar", and the Federal Reserve and Wall Street are the agents of the abstract "God" of the dollar in the world, similar to the relationship between God and the Vatican in Rome. A high-level scam to fool the populace.
Of course, even in a true feudal monarchy, there are many powerful ministers who have successfully overthrown the king. As for the Catholic kings who did not take the pope seriously at all, and even attacked the Holy See and deposed the pope without authorization, there are countless more in the history of medieval Europe. As a result, the Secret Service's oversight of the president and the government is not a panacea, and Wall Street and the Federal Reserve are not monolithic. For example, when President Roosevelt was in office, he was able to use the FBI's military and intelligence support, and use the surging anti-Wall Street public opinion in the country to contend with the Wall Street bigwigs.
However, Truman was not Roosevelt, and he did not have such a large network and a strong enough background force, as well as the courage to act boldly, to wrestle with the Wall Street bigwigs who controlled their own life and death...... Therefore, he can only choose to let the people continue to endure and continue the war.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, although the combat situation in the United States is very unfavorable, it does not look like it will be defeated next year. President Truman had already privately decided that he would resign from office and not run for the next presidential election after serving as president -- at that time, no matter what the outcome of this war would be, and what the United States would become after the war was none of his business.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Soon, however, President Truman discovered to his horror that the United States might not survive next year's election in this third world war!
First of all, I received the latest information from the African side - the Federation of South Africa is planning to form a community of South Africa with the authorities of the colonies in southern Africa, and has made great progress in secret peace talks with the Soviet Union, and seems to be preparing to withdraw from the war and jump out of the chariot of the white camp of the United States!
In fact, since the outbreak of World War II, the British Empire's grip on South Africa has been declining. It is no secret in the international community that the Commonwealth of South Africa is attempting to secede from the British Empire and establish a separate door. On the one hand, as a war dividend to be obtained when participating in the world war, the United States very much hopes to dismantle Britain's colonial empire after the war. On the other hand, the United States does not want the South African Federation to prematurely jump out and fight with Britain for independence, thereby affecting the stability of the US-British alliance and undermining the internal unity of its own camp.
Thus, taking advantage of the tangled attitude of the United States and the weakening of the British Empire, the anti-backbone of the South African authorities, while pretending to continue to shout the slogan of allegiance to the king, quietly and gradually purged the pro-British faction within the United States, got rid of the weak control of South Africa by Whitehall in London, and even wantonly attracted funds and talents from the mainland to escape the war, paving the way for the great cause of independence and nation-building in the future.
In the end, after the fall of Britain itself, the South African authorities, who were no longer self-conscious, finally laid everything out and began to dig up the legacy of the British Empire in Africa with great fanfare. In this regard, whether it is Churchill, a fat man, or the two queens who live on both sides of the ocean, there is nothing left but to protest. And the U.S. military can only acquiesce: it can't completely fall in Europe and East Asia, and the front lines in North Africa and the Middle East are in ruins, and let Eisenhower command his remnants of the defeated army who have lost all their heavy equipment, and then go back to South Africa to fight a Boer War, right?
But the problem is that the descendants of the Boers and the anti-bones of the Anglo-Saxon nation in South Africa want to break away from the British Empire and establish themselves on their own. But South Africa still wants to withdraw from the war, which is absolutely intolerable to the Americans!
-- It was normal for the newly formed South African Community to have the idea of withdrawing from the war. After all, for South Africa, which has just been established, the first thing is to stabilize its political power, and if the United States continues to participate in the world war, not only will it not gain any benefits, but it will also be in danger of being bombed by the Soviet Union.
However, the United States cannot casually allow South Africa to betray the alliance -- there are not many young brothers left in the United States, and South Africa is already one of the more capable and powerful ones. If South Africa, which is close to the front line, is allowed to slip away, then the African battlefield will not be able to sustain itself!
What's worse is that South Africa can actually control more territory than just a small piece of the original South African colony on the map. Taking advantage of the collapse of the British Empire and its geographical advantage in Africa, South Africa gradually seized de facto power in its African colonies during the war. From the Congo River to the south, including Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia...... The entire part of the African continent south of the 10th parallel of the South latitude is now the core sphere of influence of the South African authorities, as well as the territory of the future "Southern African Community" - a future superpower that can be compared to the United States in terms of territory and resources, if we do not take into account the question of race and ethnicity!
If South Africa reneges on the alliance and withdraws from the war, the sea route around the Cape of Good Hope will be completely cut off. General Eisenhower and his 200,000 or 300,000 men, who are isolated in East Africa, will of course be immediately untenable, and the US troops stationed in South Africa will also be sent out of the country, while the US troops stationed in Liberia and Nigeria in West Africa will also be in a desperate situation, and there will be no more vast hinterland to deal with the socialist camp.
-- Don't forget, the U.S. military in West Africa is now suffering from nuclear bombs in three days! Moreover, the local blacks are also in rebellion, and all kinds of guerrilla wars are numbing. If you are stabbed in the back by South Africa, the morale will not collapse too quickly!
Under these circumstances, the only choice left for the Pentagon is to completely withdraw from the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and bid farewell to the old world -- and after retreating to the New World, the United States will be completely defeated in World War III, and the only thing left is to hold on and drag on for time.
However, if you want to send troops to suppress this disobedient little brother in South Africa, the risks are also very great. Because the logistics bases of the US military stationed in Africa are basically within the control of South Africa, once the two sides completely tear their faces, the front-line troops will immediately run out of ammunition and food......
In response to this dilemma, the Pentagon urgently came up with a series of plans for President Truman to choose from -- from sending paratroopers to Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, to control the central power in South Africa and implement decapitation tactics; to assassinate the president of South Africa and support the pro-American forces in South Africa to come to power; and then launched the counterinsurgency war in South Africa under the banner of the British Empire; There was also the dropping of atomic bombs on South Africa as a threat ...... In short, one is more unreliable than the other.
-- No matter how Truman chooses a countermeasure, another major collapse of the US forces on the front line on the African battlefield is probably inevitable.
Next, before President Truman could figure out the mess in southern Africa, the White House received even worse bad news: not only was the African battlefield about to end, but even the little brother in the backyard of South America saw that the American boss tree was falling and scattered, so he jumped back!
-- A military coup d'état broke out in Chile and Peru a day ago, and the old pro-American governments were overthrown! At the same time, the already unruly Argentine government openly tore up the military alliance treaty with the United States, announced its withdrawal from World War III, and restored diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and Japan!
At the same time, according to secret reports from spies, on the Pacific coast of South America, a huge figure of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy quietly appeared......
At this point, in the international arena, several new dominoes have fallen one after another, and the American battlefield of World War III has officially opened!
-- The deadly flames of war and the smoke of gunpowder have finally descended on the New World of the Americas, sheltered by the two oceans, the last pure land of human society!

ps: Regarding the matter of Taiwan's blue camp raising funds and salaries from the mainland's fruit powder, the person in charge said that it was pure nonsense by some bigwigs who did not have long brains, and according to laws and regulations, they were not allowed to accept donations from the mainland, and he must act according to the law -- as if someone would really donate money.
In addition, I recently learned that Jin Yong, Qiong Yao and Xu Zhimo are actually relatives - Xu Zhimo is Jin Yong's cousin and Qiong Yao's cousin. Hey, this circle of cultural people in the Republic of China is really small enough. In addition, this Master Jin seems to hate Xu Zhimo very much, and made Xu Zhimo's pen name Yun Zhonghe one of the four villains in "Dragon Babu", a famous flower thief. However, considering Xu Zhimo's reputation for flowers, it seems quite appropriate. (To be continued.) )
