Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 3218 Riot
The sense of honor of soldiers is always stronger than that of ordinary people.World War I became the biggest winner, which helped Americans build strong self-confidence.In that time and space, the reason why Americans later became the world’s policemen and were keen to export the American model abroad was largely due to their strong self-confidence that the United States was the best.Precisely because of the general mentality of the people, during World War II, after domestic neutralism and isolationism became marginalism, "the United States can save the world" became the consensus of Americans.Therefore, for a long period of time, from President Roosevelt to ordinary citizens, Americans have a sense of justice. Not only are they willing to provide assistance to those countries that have been invaded, they even regard it as an obligation for the United States to send troops overseas.

I have to say that the Americans of this period are quite respectable.However, the reality is always cruel.In the eyes of the Americans, if they stand up as the embodiment of justice, wherever the U.S. military goes, it should be destroyed and make the enemy frightened.The fact is that, starting from the Philippines, the Americans have always been defeated in every battle, and they have hardly won any battles.It is of course a good thing to send troops out of righteousness, but the result has turned into self-inflicted humiliation. In a short period of time, when the domestic economy is acceptable and their own lives are not greatly affected, Americans can still use "sacrifice for justice" to self-sufficiency. anaesthetization.However, as the domestic economy begins to decline and personal life is severely affected, Americans have to ask themselves whether this "just war" is really worth participating in.

The continuous failures on the battlefield, if for ordinary Americans, only hit their mentality and self-confidence of a strong country.For those capitalists, it is simply bad news.The precedent of the success of World War I is there. American capitalists have realized the connection between war and sudden wealth and rise. Therefore, at the beginning, they were very enthusiastic about the United States' participation in World War II.However, with the defeat of the war, the expected war dividend did not come as expected.Moreover, a large number of powerful opponents suddenly emerged on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and began to vigorously compete for their traditional market.This time, they couldn't hold it anymore.The reason why Truman chose to make peace with Japan and actively participated in the anti-China cause during the critical period of World War II in spite of the world's disgrace was largely due to the instigation and support of these capitalists.After discovering that their own products were not competitive at all and could not compete with similar Chinese products, red-eyed American capitalists had to turn their attention to "unfair competition."Thanks to the ancient cultural and political gap between the East and the West, Truman's absurd political behavior has succeeded.

In the later history of that time and space, the U.S. government is famous for using the big stick of sanctions to help domestic companies win orders through unfair competition.The US government's almost rogue approach originated from World War II.

American soldiers, especially senior military officers, are naturally allies of capitalists and politicians because of education, cultural and institutional issues.Even in a sense, the meaning of their existence is to help these capitalists and politicians defend their rights.

In addition, the sense of honor of the soldiers makes it impossible for them to continue to lose as before-it is true that repeated defeats and repeated battles are a virtue, but there is a premise that they must end in a hearty victory in the end.And if this cannot be achieved, then no matter how touching the process of repeated defeats and repeated battles, it can only be reduced to a negative teaching material in the history books.

"No matter who the enemy is, what we need is victory. If you can't prove yourself with victory, I can't imagine that the United States can still maintain a detached position in North America?" This passage comes from Nimitz.Not all American soldiers can accept being enemies of former allies.Although Nimitz's statement is far-fetched, it is a good excuse from the perspective of a soldier.

The sense of honor is actually a neutral thing, and there is nothing evil in itself.With a sense of honor as his coat, Nimitz successfully reintegrated the US Pacific Fleet.But, as he himself said, if he can't lead his men to win a victory as soon as possible, then, once the coat of honor fades, only "God knows" what will happen.

The opportunity of a thousand years (Of course Nimitz himself thinks that, out of his sight, several aircraft carriers of Li Mei's Pacific Fleet have been repaired and rebuilt by Chinese shipyards, and it is ridiculous that there are more than three aircraft carriers on them. One-third of the crew are from the United States) is right in front of you, but because of domestic disputes, you can only watch it slowly slip away. Nimitz is really unwilling.

Nimitz was sighing at Li Mei, while Eisenhower encountered a bigger problem.

Compared with the navy floating at sea, Eisenhower wanted to control the spread of domestic news, and the difficulty would increase geometrically.For Eisenhower, to make matters worse, because he has not been in charge of the U.S. Army in the Pacific for a long time, he has not yet established absolute prestige, so not only the soldiers below are not very obedient to his orders, but also some officers, who are against him Not very convinced either.As a result, although he was always able to issue the correct orders at the first time, the execution rate of the troops was very poor, so that he could not complete the "reorganization" work stipulated by him, which made him dare not take it easy. Launching an offensive will not realize his intention of "re-establishing the confidence of the troops with a victory".

Ironically, after taking over the Philippines from the Japanese forces in Southeast Asia, the U.S. Army based its main camp on Bataan.At this moment, standing on a watchtower in the main camp of Bataan, Eisenhower held a loudspeaker in his hand, trying to persuade the restless soldiers in the barracks.

"Soldiers, I am Eisenhower. I don't know where you got the information, but I can tell you with certainty that it is a rumor. Yes, some small riots did occur in some parts of the country, but they have been quelled now What? You want me to produce evidence, we are tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mainland, how can I produce the evidence you want... We are soldiers, and it is our bounden duty to protect the interests of the country. Think about your parents, wives, Aren't we here to fight, boys, to give them a better life? Trust me, your loved ones will be proud of you for your bravery here today. America will always be proud of you ..."

In that time and space, Eisenhower ended up serving two consecutive terms as President of the United States.So his speech ability is quite good, but since the seeds of riots have been planted, he just wants to extinguish them with a few mouthfuls of spit, which is a bit underestimating the wisdom of his soldiers.
