Chapter 127: The harbinger of the tree falling and the hozens scattering
Ten months after World War III officially broke out, President Truman already knew that the United States of America would definitely not be able to win this world war.
However, he is also very clear that as a weak and lame president, he cannot withdraw the United States from this losing world war.
——With repeated defeats on all fronts and a rout of thousands of miles, the United States will have to pay an extremely heavy price if it wants to take the initiative to seek peace.
Due to ideological opposition, the price of suing for peace with the Soviet Union is much higher than that of suing for peace with Nazi fascism: if you succumb to the Soviet Union at this moment, you will have to be forced to adopt a planned economic system, or At least, if most of the world turns into a planned economic system, the United States may still be able to survive, but Wall Street financial groups are definitely doomed - bonds, stocks, and a series of other financial games will no longer be played.
——The United States can certainly afford such a price, but the financial groups that control the United States behind the scenes cannot afford this price.
Therefore, they decided to tie up the entire United States and fight to the death, and President Truman could only obey their orders obediently.
Otherwise, the Secret Service guard outside the Oval Office might break in at any moment and shoot him in the temple.
——Any attentive person who has carefully studied the political history of the United States will notice an explicit or implicit clue, that is, the U.S. government, represented by the President of the United States, and the U.S. capital oligarchs, especially the financial capital oligarchs on Wall Street, have always been in conflict. A arduous invisible war is going on.
Before 1913, this invisible secret war still had a winner and a loser. The oligarchs could not completely control the U.S. financial and fiscal sectors, but the government could not completely suppress the financial oligarchs. By the end of 1913, marked by the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the oligarchs finally achieved victory.
Also starting from this year, the current, incoming and outgoing presidents of the United States 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 understand it as the Ouchi bodyguards and central security bureau in the Chinese impression - on June 5, 1865, in order to combat the increasingly rampant counterfeiting of currency and other economic crimes, the U.S. Department of the Treasury established the U.S. Secret Service . After President McKinley was assassinated in 1901, Congress proposed that the Secret Service should protect the president as one of its tasks, and it was established through legislation in 1906. So far, the U.S. Secret Service has been assigned a dual mission: to protect U.S. currency and political dignitaries such as the President and Vice President of the United States. In 1913, Congress authorized the Secret Service, led by the Treasury Department, to provide permanent protection for the president, president-elect, and president-elect. At this point, the central nervous system of the United States has been completely controlled by the financial oligarchs.
——Since 1913, the current and subsequent U.S. presidents and their entire families have been protected by the "Secret Service" for life; the "Secret Service" is under the independent leadership of the U.S. Treasury Department; almost all U.S. Treasury Secretary positions are held by people from the United States. Senior executives of the Federal Reserve and various financial companies (such as Goldman Sachs later) were equivalent to wage earners for Wall Street bosses... In other words, white The Palace Secret Service personnel are not the presidents’ security guards at all, but supervisors that Wall Street has publicly installed behind them and their families. They are always responsible for monitoring and even executing disobedient presidents. The job of providing protection to the president is just a side volunteer job. ——When President Kennedy was assassinated on the street, it was this "Secret Service" that provided him with "protection."
It can be seen that since 1913, the United States has no longer been a republic in the true sense, but has become a "constitutional monarchy" in a certain sense. It's just that his "king" is not an emperor or a king in the secular sense, or even a human being, but an abstract virtual symbol similar to a religious concept, that is, the "dollar", and the Federal Reserve and Wall Street are the abstract "dollar" God's agency in the world is similar to the relationship between God and the Vatican in Rome. The secular president is just its puppet. The Federal Reserve is the real master behind the shadow puppet show in American politics. The so-called "democracy" and "election" are just a An advanced scam to soothe public dissatisfaction and fool the public.
Of course, even in true monarchy and feudal countries, there are many powerful ministers who have successfully evaded the king. As for the Catholic kings who did not take the Pope seriously at all, and even attacked the Holy See without authorization and deposed the Pope, there were countless more in the history of medieval Europe. Therefore, the Secret Service’s supervision of the president and the government is not omnipotent, 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 force and intelligence support and take advantage of the surging anti-Wall Street public opinion in the country to compete with the Wall Street bosses.
However, Truman is not Roosevelt. He does not have such a large network of contacts, a strong enough background, and the courage to take action to be able to arm-wrestle with the Wall Street bosses who control his life and death... Therefore, he can only choose to let The people continued to be patient and continued the war.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, although the combat situation of the United States is very unfavorable, it does not look like it will be defeated next year. And President Truman has decided privately that after serving this term as president, he will voluntarily resign and leave office, and will not participate in the next presidential election. By then, no matter what the outcome of this war will be, the United States will remain in power after the war. What it will look like again is none of his business.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
However, President Truman soon discovered to his horror that in the midst of World War III, the United States might not be able to survive until next year's election!
First of all, we have received the latest information from Africa - the Union of South Africa is planning to establish the South African Community with the colonial authorities in southern Africa, and has made great progress in secret peace talks with the Soviet Union. It seems that it is preparing to withdraw from the war and jump to the United States. The white camp tank!
In fact, since the outbreak of World War II, the British Empire's control over South Africa has gradually declined. It is no secret internationally that the Union of South Africa is trying to break away from the British Empire and establish a separate country. In this regard, the United States' attitude is optimistic and half-promising: on the one hand, as a war dividend it wants to obtain when it participates in the world war, the United States very much hopes to dismantle the British colonial empire after the war. On the other hand, the United States does not want the Union of South Africa to jump out prematurely to seek independence and go to war with Britain, thereby affecting the stability of the U.S.-British alliance and destroying the internal unity of its own camp.
Therefore, taking advantage of the entangled attitude of the United States and the decline of the British Empire, the South African authorities, a group of rebels, continued to shout slogans of loyalty to the king during the years of the world war, while quietly and gradually purging the pro-British faction within them. It got rid of the weak control that Whitehall in London had on South Africa, and even vigorously attracted funds and talents from the country to escape the war, paving the way for the future establishment of an independent country.
Finally, after the fall of the British mainland, the South African authorities, who felt they were no longer scrupulous, finally brought everything to light and began to poach the British Empire's legacy in Africa with great fanfare. In this regard, both the fat man Churchill and the two queens living on both sides of the ocean had nothing to do but protest. The US military can only express its acquiescence: It cannot be completely defeated in Europe and East Asia, and the front lines in North Africa and the Middle East are collapsed thousands of miles away, and then let Eisenhower command his group of defeated soldiers who have lost all their heavy equipment, and then run back. Go to South Africa and fight the Boer War?
But the problem is that those descendants of the Boers and Anglo-Saxon rebels in South Africa just want to break away from the British Empire and set up their own business. Anyway, today’s Britain is no better than a phoenix. It doesn't matter anymore - Western political circles are generally very practical. But South Africa still wants to withdraw from the war, which is absolutely intolerable to the Americans!
——It is normal for the newly formed South African Community to have the idea of withdrawing from the war. After all, for the newly founded South Africa, stabilizing the political power is the first priority. If it continues to participate in the world war with the United States, not only will it not gain any benefits, but it will also be in danger of being exposed to Soviet nuclear bombs.
But the United States cannot just allow South Africa to betray its alliance - there are not many Ma Chai boys left by the US boss now, and South Africa is already considered the more capable and powerful one among them. If South Africa, which is close to the front line, is allowed to slip away, the African battlefield will not be sustainable!
What's even more terrible is that the territory that South Africa can actually control now is not just the 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 actual power in various 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 ten degrees south latitude has now become the core sphere of influence of the South African authorities, and the future "Southern African Community" "Territory - If racial and ethnic issues are not considered, this will be a future superpower comparable to the United States in terms of territory and resources!
Once South Africa betrays its 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 to 300,000 men were left alone in East Africa. Of course, they were immediately untenable. The U.S. troops stationed in South Africa would also be sent out of the country, while the U.S. troops stationed in places such as Liberia and Nigeria in West Africa would also be sent out. It will fall into a desperate situation, and there will no longer be a vast hinterland to deal with the socialist camp.
——Don’t forget, the U.S. military in West Africa is being bombarded with nuclear bombs every now and then! Moreover, the local black people are also in rebellion, and various guerrilla wars are fought that make people's scalp numb. If South Africa stabs you in the back again, morale will collapse too quickly!
Under such circumstances, the Pentagon's remaining choice is probably to completely withdraw from the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and bid farewell to the old world. After retreating to the New World, the United States was completely defeated in the Third World War. All that's left is to hold on and buy time.
However, if troops are to be sent to suppress South Africa's disobedient brother, the risks are also extremely high. Because the logistics bases of the US military stationed in Africa are basically within the control of South Africa, once the two sides completely break up, the frontline troops will immediately be in danger of running 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 airdrop to the South African capital Pretoria, taking control of South Africa's central power and executing beheading tactics; to assassinating the South African president and supporting him. The pro-American forces in South Africa came to power; then they launched a counter-insurgency war in South Africa under the banner of the British Empire; and they dropped atomic bombs on South Africa as a threat... In short, each one is more unreliable than the last.
——No matter how Truman chooses to respond, another major collapse of the frontline US military on the African battlefield is probably inevitable.
Next, before President Truman could figure out the chaos in southern Africa, the White House received an even more terrible news: Not only was the African battlefield imminent, but even the little guys in the backyard of South America were watching the boss of the United States. When the tree falls and the hozens scatter, they jump back!
——Military coups broke out in Chile and Peru one day ago, and the old pro-American governments were overturned! At the same time, the originally rebellious 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, a huge figure of the Japanese naval combined fleet quietly appeared on the Pacific coast of South America...
At this point, on the international stage, 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 gunpowder smoke have finally arrived in the New World of America, sheltered by two oceans, the last pure land of human society!

PS: Regarding the issue of Taiwan Blue Camp raising funds to pay wages to mainland fruit fans, the manager said it was pure nonsense from some ignorant bosses. According to regulations, it is not allowed to accept donations from mainland China, and he must act in accordance with the law. ——Speaking as if someone would actually donate money. In addition, I only recently learned that Jin Yong, Qiong Yao and Xu Zhimo are all relatives - Xu Zhimo is Jin Yong's cousin and Qiong Yao's cousin. Alas, the circle of intellectuals in the Republic of China is really small. In addition, Master Jin seemed to hate Xu Zhimo very much, and made Xu Zhimo's pen name Yun Zhonghe into one of the four villains in "Dragon Babu", the famous flower picker. But considering Xu Zhimo's reputation as a playboy, it seems quite appropriate.
