"...However, the future of Judaism still lies in the east. History tells us that if a person does not have a country, his property and life will never be guaranteed; and if a country does not have strong force, it will not be able to stand on its own. America does not belong to the Jews, Bisselin took it for granted. Fortunately, she was still young and still had opportunities. Moreover, she would marry in the future. She only hoped that Bisselin, her beauty and the wealth of the Dassault family could impress the people in the East. That general..."
"This is not Truman's style at all. Truman will not compromise." In the state government office building in Orlando, Rayburn subconsciously tapped the table with his right hand and said to the people sitting around.
If Rayburn's anti-Semitic speech was like a kindling that instantly ignited a fire, then Truman's speech was like a downpour of rain that dimmed the fire in an instant and could extinguish it almost at any time.
"Military, we need the support of the military now, Mr. Speaker, in addition, I feel that when the president's freedom is controlled by others, he cannot perform the duties of the president at all. According to the Constitution, as the third successor to the president, you You should stand up bravely and help the country tide over this difficult moment." It was MacArthur who spoke.
Continuous failures left indelible marks on MacArthur's face. The once high-spirited general who kept his head held high wherever he went disappeared, and was replaced by a depressed old man with deep eyes and freckles. , MacArthur took off his military uniform from the day he was forced to leave office, and even when he became the commander of the Meissen mercenary army, he refused to put on the military uniform again.
MacArthur was invited to Orlando by Rayburn two days ago, on the grounds that he hoped to hire Mason mercenaries to fight against the "Jewish rebels" when the country's armed forces were weak.
The lessons learned from the Civil War have been learned before. Whether it was Bethelline or Rayburn, they all knew that Americans hated the air force in the Civil War. Therefore, even when both sides made clear their intentions, they tried their best to avoid mentioning the "Civil War." "This is a sensitive word. However, from the day he arrived in Orlando, Rayburn realized that "a war may be inevitable." Similarly, Bisselin in the north is now focusing on contacting the garrisons in various places to seek help. support from these armies.
Considerable political power has gathered around Rayburn. Most of those Americans whose titles are "former governor", "former congressman", "former ambassador to a certain country", and "former such-and-such official" are in Their birthplace and current residence have a certain influence. As long as they are willing to stand around Rayburn when he delivers a televised speech, then Rayburn's speech can have a certain influence in their birthplace and current residence. gain support.
Rayburn may lack ambition, but after serving as speaker for so many years, his political connections are definitely not comparable to those of "little devils" such as Bisselin who have just emerged in American politics.
MacArthur's words expressed the sentiments of many people present. No matter what their character, ability, or family background are, what is certain is that since they appear here, they must have an ulterior motive. Therefore, even if they do not feel that Truman's speech is contrary to his usual style and does not seem to be an expression of his true will, they will forcefully misunderstand and follow MacArthur's thinking, because they know that if they still want to take advantage of this opportunity To rise again, they also want their companies to survive the desperate situation and become the "founding heroes" of the Rayburn government. This will be their only way out.
"I agree with General MacArthur."
"General MacArthur was right."
"The United States has reached its most critical moment, and extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."
...Amidst the chatter, Rayburn said: "The fact that the president can give a televised speech shows that he has reached a compromise with the war widows. Could this be a strategy of the president?"
Truman's televised speeches were obviously not his usual style. Rayburn and other people who knew him thought about it and finally came up with this reason.
"What Mr. Speaker said makes sense. Maybe we should give Mr. President a little more time."
"Maybe we should send someone to contact the president and see if it's possible to save him from the war widows."
"Organize a special operations team, I can be the commander." MacArthur said.
After some discussion, Rayburn decided to adopt MacArthur's advice and form a special operations team, personally commanded by MacArthur, to go to Washington to perform a rescue mission. The members of the special operations team, MacArthur, were directly responsible for Rayburn's security from the Mason mercenaries. After letting Merkel be responsible for replenishing equipment and travel vehicles for the members of the special operations team, MacArthur was discussing combat plans with several staff officers. The leader of the Democratic Party, Jean Sean, sent someone over to invite him to attend a meeting.
At that time and space, the American Democratic Party did not have a national committee chairman until 1948. Now, Jean Sean is only one of the committee members. However, because he is senior enough and has broad influence among ordinary party members , so in Truman's absence, he became the de facto supreme leader of the Democratic Party.
MacArthur was taken into a small conference room. In the room, Jean Sean, Rayburn and former Secretary of State James Burns were sitting upright, already discussing something.
"General MacArthur, please take a look at this first." After MacArthur sat down, Rayburn handed him a document.
This is an intelligence sent by an agent of the Strategic Intelligence Service. It says two things. First, the Women's Mutual Aid Association is in close contact with former Republican presidential candidate Dewey. Second, the Women's Mutual Aid Association has raised the alert level in Washington. Women Rangers began to appear on the main streets of Washington on armed patrols.
"The Jewish woman Beselin is now in charge of the Women's Mutual Aid Association." MacArthur pushed the document back to Rayburn and asked.
Rayburn nodded: "From the information we have, this is indeed the case."
"Do they want to cooperate with the Republican Party? If the Republican Party turns to the Mutual Aid Association, then we will lose influence and even control over many states."
"We have realized this, so we believe that if the rescue cannot be successfully implemented, the hidden dangers should be completely eliminated. What we are worried about is that once the Republican Party and the war widows collude, they can take measures to allow Mr. President to Leave the power to Dewey," Jean Sean said.
"What do you mean, if the rescue mission cannot be completed, then Mr. President will be 'beheaded'." MacArthur asked Jean Sean closely.
"This is the unanimous opinion of all of us."
MacArthur looked at Rayburn.
Rayburn nodded with an ugly expression.
"I know, in this case, I can guarantee the completion of the mission." MacArthur stood up.
It is much easier to kill people than to save others. As for Truman's life and death, after MacArthur was forced to retire, MacArthur no longer cared about it.
