Great time travel

141 Chapter [-], the appearance of sentient beings in the dark age
Although it was a time of war, the United States held a presidential general election in [-] as a golden sign of the spirit of a democratic republic.

According to the special wartime act, this presidential election does not need to be held on a nationwide ballot, but is directly voted by the House of Representatives and the Senate.Naturally, the scale of various campaigns and canvassing activities has been greatly reduced, and the entire process of the presidential election has also been compressed to less than half a month—because the physically and mentally exhausted President Truman has no intention of being re-elected, he withdrew from the election from the very beginning... So, hurriedly left Douglas MacArthur, the former five-star general who came to run for the election after leaving his military uniform, became a star idol that everyone expected, and was elected as the No. 30 fourth president of the United States by a high number of votes.

——Indeed, at the beginning of the war seven years ago, MacArthur was defeated by the Japanese army and lost to the Philippines. After that, he was repeatedly defeated in Australia, and his territory became smaller and smaller.It was hard to come back and land on the Japanese archipelago. Within a few days, I was taken prisoner in the Japanese battlefield again, and was paraded through the streets in an iron cage... But despite suffering so many setbacks and tribulations, I still couldn’t break down. This indomitable Marshal MacArthur - after leaving Japan sadly, MacArthur continued to fight in the Philippines and regained Manila, where he fell and climbed up successfully.

Although in the next step, MacArthur had to abandon the Philippines again sadly, and took the troops to board the ship to evacuate-but everyone knew that this was not his responsibility, but more because of Halsey's death in the typhoon. Because of the destruction of the Pacific Fleet and the complete loss of command of the sea.

Shortly after leading his troops back home, facing the unprecedented danger of the collapse of the African battlefield and the rebound of South American countries, MacArthur went into battle again, and took his veterans who had withdrawn from the Philippines to South America under the cover of the Atlantic Fleet. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation of anarchy in South American countries after the nuclear explosion, they have successfully fostered a series of pro-American regimes through both hard and soft tactics, and have successfully fostered a series of pro-American regimes, allowing Brazil and Venezuela's tropical specialties, and Argentina's grain and meat to continue to flow. Imported to the mainland of the United States, to a considerable extent, eased the growing crisis of material shortage in the United States.

It can be said that without MacArthur's brave march, with only six divisions, he would have recovered most of South America within a few months, and the current situation in the United States would have been even worse and much more turbulent. It is very likely that the war will not go on.

In view of the above-mentioned achievements, people soon forgot the ugliness and shame of MacArthur being a prisoner of war in Japan and being paraded in an iron cage. Instead, they applauded his bravery, tenacity and daring to take responsibility.According to MacArthur's supporters: "...in this difficult time that determines life and death, we just need General MacArthur's indomitable perseverance to lead the United States to move forward..."

At this moment, MacArthur, who is about to enter the White House, is holding the last thank you and celebration reception before the inauguration of the president, contacting his supporters and future cabinet staff, and making various promises, arbitrarily sealing officials and making wishes, in order to repay them Contribute money and efforts in the campaign.

——The U.S. Constitution does not make any clear written provisions on how to transfer the power of the old and new presidents of the United States.Therefore, the transfer of power between the old and new presidents after the U.S. election has not formed an absolutely fixed legal procedure, only some unwritten unwritten rules and practices.

Generally speaking, the presidential election day in the United States is the first Tuesday in November of the election year, and the inauguration day is January 1933 of the following year (it was mostly March [-] before [-]).There is a ten-week break during the period, which is used for the handover of power between the two presidents.During these ten weeks, the president-elect and his campaign team not only need to take a good rest to eliminate the fatigue caused by the fierce competition, but also need to come up with a proper plan to take over the large and complex US administrative organization—— The main tasks during this period include formulating the governance plan of the new government, and more importantly, the appointment of thousands of senior officials...a considerable number of them have oily or dignified idle positions, such as ambassadors and consuls of certain friendly allies abroad, It is customary to pay sponsors.But how to allocate these positions, MacArthur has to bargain one by one with a fake smile on his face...

Now there are only less than three days left before President MacArthur enters the White House, and the activities of recruiting and rebelling and sealing officials and making wishes have basically come to an end. The luxurious reception held in New York is almost It is the last consultation before finalizing.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After dismissing the last guest who came to pester him, MacArthur pulled out the corncob pipe from his mouth, drank it in a toast, and the mellow wine flowed down his throat, but the taste was slightly bitter.Looking around, the luxurious hall under the crystal chandelier is filled with all kinds of celebrities and dignitaries, and the silk and diamond jewelry of beautiful ladies shine brightly under the lights.There are surprisingly many political party dignitaries, financial tycoons, wealthy businessmen, celebrities in the arts and journalism, as well as courtesans as a foil embellishment, as if the elites from all over the United States gathered here.

As a son of a wealthy family, Douglas MacArthur was no stranger to all these social activities, but after so many years of struggling in overseas battlefields, MacArthur felt that he seemed to be a little unaccustomed to New York. The social world—every time he closes his eyes, he will feel as if he is still in the savage tropical rainforest, fighting desperately with all kinds of enemies, with disabled soldiers and hideous weapon wreckage everywhere, full of In the ears are the roar of guns, the roar of military vehicles and tanks, and all kinds of foul language of soldiers.

But, in fact, now he is wearing a neat suit and leather shoes, with a hypocritical smirk on his face, and using the most awkward and obscure words to fight with others... He found that the content of his thoughts had become It is too far away from these American celebrities behind.Because, when he was in the tropical rainforests of the Pacific Ocean and South America, he was scrambling like a savage in mud, these people in front of him were still living at the top of the civilized society, and continued to enjoy music, art, A wonderful nightlife with many elements such as dance parties, stars, fine wine, food, conspiracy and fraud.In contrast, MacArthur's nerves have been blunted under the long artillery fire and death threats, as if he has become a country bumpkin who does not understand elegance.

For a while, MacArthur, who felt that he seemed to be a little alienated from this social scene, suddenly felt depressed, and began to look at the other people at the reception boringly. There are rich men and celebrities as decorations, as well as those female stars and courtesans who are pleasing to the eyes, and most of them are government officials and members of Congress in evening gowns and stiff bow ties.

Even the most brutal world war in history does not seem to change the temperament of these politicians and bureaucrats.They still have the same potbellies and tired faces as before the war, drank too much wine, smoked too much cigarettes, walked like ducks with briefcases in their pockets, debated like bulls, and then randomly formulated one after another inconceivable wartime act.They only knew about the war from the newspapers and the radio, and none of them had ever been to the front.Due to the lax supervision, the work is more procrastinated than in peacetime, and people are overstaffed, and a large number of idlers are raised in the new institutions set up like mushrooms after the rain.Many people enrich themselves in the name of war.They designed all kinds of ration coupons and worked out all kinds of cumbersome material approval procedures. Apart from causing complaints from the residents in the rear and inconvenience to the soldiers in the front, everything they did had no positive effect.Moreover, some of them are the most hated gang organizations in the United States, with an unknown amount of blood, tears and crimes on their hands.

Seeing them, MacArthur couldn't help but think of all the popular jokes among the soldiers on the front line. In those jokes, these fat-headed, insatiable, insatiable bureaucrats and politicians in the rear are just like the enemy on the opposite side. , always the subject of jokes and complaints.

Although the United States no longer has colonies, and its allies have almost disintegrated, American businessmen, managers, and consortium bankers still exist.They are still selling their low-quality and high-priced products through various relationships and contacts, and they are still paying pennies on interest, trying to make money from war, the biggest business in the world-soldiers are bleeding, civilians are starving , but they still only know how to make money!
However, now I will soon be sitting in the Oval Office of the White House, relying on the support of such a group of guys to lead the already exhausted United States to win the war to victory, or at least to make a decent peace... This is really a task Enough of the challenge!

Fortunately, Stalin's situation may be even worse than his own - on the American side, except for despicable places like Hawaii and Alaska, at least the hinterland is absolutely safe.In the Soviet Union, their most prosperous Baltic coast and the second largest city, Leningrad, have already suffered several nuclear bombs. The material loss and spiritual damage caused to the Soviets cannot be made up for by a victory in a distant overseas battlefield. .Of course, given Russia’s anti-democratic and tyrannical traditions, Stalin could use his brutal and high-handed policies to suppress everything and drive his people to continue to sacrifice and contribute to the war. However, this forceful approach has its limits. If it rebounds or even backfires, the consequences will be unimaginable...

In addition, the United States, which retreated to the New World of America, lost most of its allies, but it also got rid of many burdens and burdens, and was able to travel lightly. In the case of the Old World, it basically works normally.

And although the Soviets seemed to have planted red flags with sickles and hammers all over the old continent, as the most basic price, the Kremlin had to take over all kinds of troubles in the entire half of the world... In addition, in such a cruel and all-round During the war, how to coordinate with "big" allies like China and Japan to avoid internal friction and conflicts is also a major test of the Kremlin's diplomatic art.

To sum up, in MacArthur's view, as a party in a strategic defensive posture, relying on the rich resources of the "Chosen Country" and the natural geographical advantages of the barrier between the East and the West, the United States wants to completely defeat the enemy and dominate the world. It's not realistic anymore.However, if the goal is lowered, it should be relatively easy to achieve a decent end to the war by only maintaining the hegemony of the United States in the New World and allowing the Soviets and Japanese who traveled far across the ocean to retreat... Because of this, MacArthur Only then did he dare to take off his military uniform and compete for the presidential throne in the Oval Office of the White House.

Otherwise, why would he compete with others for the humiliating position of signing the surrender agreement if the current war was inevitable?
"...the United States of America is the beacon of civilization and the hope of mankind, evidenced by the fact that in every time of crisis God sent His messengers to guide the people. In times of peace there have been mediocre presidents and in times of war there have been great presidents. Independence There was Washington in the war era, Lincoln in the civil war era, and now we have MacArthur! He will soon stand at the helm of the president and steer the great ship of the United States to a brighter future..."

Listening to the flattery and flattery, as well as the admiration and respect in the eyes of many men, women, old and young, MacArthur, who was always fond of vanity, couldn't help showing a smug smile, and reached out to pick it up again from the waiter's large tray. A glass of champagne, drank quite generously...

However, what MacArthur didn't know at this moment was that the first major test in his presidential career had quietly struck at this time...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The Japanese archipelago, Chiba County, which was almost slaughtered by the war and turned into no man's land, has just completed the garrison base of the Soviet Strategic Air Force Aid Japan

A silver-white jumbo jet with sickle and hammer emblems drawn on its wings stopped quietly at the end of the runway one by one.Below the airport tower, the grey-haired commander of the Soviet base holds a large bottle of vodka, and is offering the last farewell wine to the pilots before the attack—in fact, according to common sense, pilots must never drive after drinking... But this rule never worked for the Russians...

When the Soviet pilots raised their glasses, the military band also played the tear-jerking "Farewell to the Slavic Woman"... Then, a stern-faced officer stood up and greeted the pilots gathered under the tower, and The guards and ground crew who were about to watch them set off finally read out the order: "...the formation of strategic ultra-long-range bombers stationed in Japan will attack with all nuclear bombs this morning! Target: Los Angeles, USA!"

PS: This week has been full of wonderful revelations. Hillary’s Loli Island bills have come out, and there are freshly squeezed human breasts on the menu... It’s really good enough to play. Could it be that Lolita’s mother is also tied up? When is it time to add a head?In addition, Clinton actually sent someone to North Korea to abduct Lori for fun?Still got caught?Am I crazy or is the world crazy?If you want to play stick loli, why don't you find an entertainment company in South Korea, but go to North Korea to die?

Anyway, I began to wonder whether every family in the villas of American politicians has an underground prison torture room, where the little loli wearing a collar is imprisoned.

Then several judges in the UK tried to declare Brexit invalid, and wanted to invest in the EU again-such a major event can also reverse the case?I went out, I came in, I went out again, I came in again... Do you want the whole European Union to play with you?Why don't you say that the disintegration of the Soviet Union is also invalid?
