Hardy Empire 1945

two days later.

The editor-in-chief of the Global Times took several of his most capable reporters to find Sutherland, the chief of staff of the Allied Command. Sutherland immediately contacted MacArthur. At the same time, these reporters would go to other stations to interview all division heads.

This time, not only the Global Times, but also the photographers from ABC TV station came.

MacArthur was naturally expressive. He wore a neatly ironed military uniform, a slightly tilted hat, and a signature corncob pipe in his mouth.

MacArthur's attire is different from that of most serious soldiers, especially after the occupation of Japan, his power has expanded even more, so that he is no longer bound by any regulations.

MacArthur likes the feeling of standing in front of the camera, and he looks very high-spirited, and he always wants to run for president. He thinks that interviews by reporters are very helpful to improve his reputation, so he is willing to accept interviews.

In the face of reporters' questions, MacArthur talked eloquently.

Since I came to Japan, I have done many things. I led the army to occupy here, let the Japanese surrender, and ended the Japanese war of aggression in Asia.

I set up military courts to deal with war criminals, including the Emperor of Japan.

I have carried out political transformation of Japan, abolished the Japanese emperor system, ended the emperor's feudal rule, formulated a new constitution for Japan, promoted American-style liberal economic policies in Japan, and promoted American-style freedom of the press and freedom of speech.

The more he talked, the more excited he became.

For the Japanese, you have to treat them like animals, so that they will respect you. When you defeat him, if you are convinced, he will voluntarily call his wife and daughter to sleep with you. The truth is to use an iron fist against Japan.

The reporters were amazed,

Even the officer next to him was dumbfounded.

However, MacArthur always made surprising words, and they couldn't stop them.

After interviewing MacArthur, MacArthur took reporters and photographers to visit the military base.

MacArthur is very talented in acting. He not only dresses up uniquely, but also speaks well. For this interview, he held a small military parade. The soldiers stood on the playground, and MacArthur stood on the command vehicle to review them. .

Afterwards, the aircraft carrier formation was dispatched, and a fleet drill took place at sea, with the aircraft carrier leading the way.

More than a dozen ships followed, cutting through the waves and looking very majestic. MacArthur stood on the deck with wide sunglasses on his face like a vulture.

Afterwards, reporters and TV stations interviewed many division commanders stationed in Japan and South Korea, Lieutenant General Walton Walker, Commander of the Eighth Army, Major General Hobart Gay, Commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, and Ollie, Commander of the 1st Marine Division. Major General Hua Smith, Commander of the 2nd Infantry Division Major General Lawrence Kaiser, Commander of the 3rd Infantry Division Major General Robert Saul, Commander of the US 7th Division Major General Day Barr, Commander of the US 24th Division Major General William Dean, Commander of the US 25th Division Major General William Keene….

It didn't take long for the Global Times to report on the interview. MacArthur was the first to report. MacArthur had a pretty resume. He graduated from West Point Military Academy. At the age of 37, he was the chief of staff of a division and went to France to participate in World War I.

In 1919, he served as the principal of the West Point Military Academy. In 1922, he went to the Philippines and served as the commander of the Manila Special Zone. In 1925, Major General Jin served as the commander of the 3rd U.S. Military Region. In 1928, he was appointed as the commander of the U.S. Army stationed in the Philippines. In 1930, he was appointed as the chief of staff of the U.S. Army. In 1941, he was appointed as the commander of the U.S. Army in the Far East. Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces.

certainly.

When he attacked the Philippines after Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, he escaped alone and left the army behind. Naturally, it was not mentioned.

Then it is to introduce what MacArthur did in Japan, how to transform Japan step by step, and implement his own plans and policies in Japan.

The Global Times did not make any changes to MacArthur's words, and reported them intact, including his sentence For the Japanese, you have to treat them as animals, so that they will respect you. When you defeat them, you will be convinced. He will voluntarily call his wife and daughter to sleep with you, and it is the truth to use an iron fist against Japan.

to be honest,

In the eyes of some Japanese, MacArthur had a good impression, especially in the eyes of ordinary people, because he implemented land reform in Japan. In the past, most of the land in Japan was in the hands of the royal family and nobles. MacArthur came to a Confiscate the land of the whole country, and then sell it to the outside world. Anyone can buy the land.

If you don't have money, you can get a loan, or you can owe it, so many low-level people were allocated land. These people are naturally grateful to him.

However, those government officials, rich people, businessmen or scholars in Japan actually harbored gritted hatred for MacArthur who occupied their own country, but the opponent was too powerful and they could not afford to provoke him.

Superficially feigned obedience.

Another point is that the Japanese pretended to be respectful to MacArthur, but also for their own face, so that they could pretend that nothing happened.

Some people like best to lie to themselves.

On the surface, everyone can get by in harmony, and life can continue.

However, MacArthur’s words in the Global Times really poked Japanese people’s aches and pains. Even if we were beaten up, scared, and sent a woman to sleep with you, don’t say it so bluntly. How can people have a face to live.

this moment.

The little favor the Japanese had for MacArthur disappeared in an instant.

That night, the ABC TV station broadcast another interview with MacArthur. MacArthur stood on the deck of the aircraft carrier with a pipe in his mouth, and behind him were rows of warships splitting the waves in the sea.

That is called a high-spirited.

MacArthur also watched TV that night, and he was very satisfied with his performance on TV. As for what the Japanese would think, he didn't care.

He has always been a person with a strong heart and extremely arrogant, and the old special of later generations can't compare with the current old Mai.

The next day's newspaper began to introduce the Allied generals.

Major General Robert Saul, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, was established in 1917. Because of its outstanding achievements in the Battle of the Marne River in World War I, the division was also known as the Marne Rock division, with a total of more than 16,000 people. , under the jurisdiction of 3 infantry regiments, 5 artillery battalions and 4 direct battalions, with 333 tanks, 411 armored vehicles, and 583 artillery pieces.

The data is very detailed, demonstrating the powerful combat capabilities of the US military.

That night, ABC TV cooperated with the report on the US 3rd Division.

 …

this time.

Kazakhstan began to inspect various industries.

Hardy came to the Nikon camera factory. The current general manager here is a Japanese, but the executive director is an American. Now Nikon has a clean room, and the lens is covered with a glass cover to minimize the entry of dust.

In addition to making lens lenses and camera spare parts for American camera factories, they also produce their own cameras. They have developed several Nikon cameras. Before leaving, Hardy was given a newest camera.

This camera is not much different from the film cameras of later generations, Hardy accepted it with a smile.

Sony TV factory.

More than 20 directors, managers, and supervisors accompanied Hardy to inspect the TV production line that had already started production.

This production line was shipped from the United States, and the technology is also American technology. In fact, not only Sony, but Toshiba and Panasonic also established TV factories at the same time.

On the one hand, they produce spare parts to supply Hardy's Meibo TV Company, and on the other hand, they also produce their own brand of TVs.

Today, MEBO TV Company is still the largest TV manufacturer in the United States, with an annual profit of tens of millions. Now the economic environment in the United States is getting better and better, and the popularization of home appliances is rapid. The sales of MEBO TVs are very good. Demand exceeds supply.

It's just that the industrial chain is so big that it can't meet the market demand for a while. Since Japan started to help produce spare parts, MEBO TV Factory directly assembles them, and the production speed has increased by 50%.

at the same time.

Several manufacturers such as Sony, Panasonic, and Toshiba have also produced their own TV sets, which have begun to be sold in Japan during this period.

Hardy asked the accompanying directors, How are the TV sales in Japan?

The director said: We set a price of US$100 for a TV, which is already US$27 cheaper than MEBO TV, but the sales volume is still not very good.

Families who can afford a TV made in a Japanese factory are more willing to buy an American product, while families without money find it difficult to come up with $100.

Now the three TV companies, how many TV sets are produced per month? Hardy asked.

The output of the three companies is roughly the same, each with a monthly output of more than 1,000 units, and the total output is about 4,000 units. The main pipeline.

Hardy thought for a while and said:

In this way, I asked Wells Fargo to set up an interest-free mortgage loan business. If you have assets, as long as the value is more than 100 US dollars, you can apply for a mortgage at Wells Fargo Bank, and it is interest-free. The money is used to buy TV sets. Wells Fargo Bank directly Open a TV purchase coupon, go to the mall to pick up the TV, and pay off the loan in one year.”

The person in charge was overjoyed.

Such an activity is equivalent to Wells Fargo taking out money to subsidize the enterprise without making any money. No bank would accept such a business.

The heads of these enterprises couldn't help but thank Hardy.

In fact, for Hardy, these are not much money at all, up to more than 400,000 a month. He has his own ideas. He wants to let the Japanese popularize TV sets as soon as possible, so that the influence of ABC TV will expand. This is comparable to every 400,000 a month is much more important.

Even if it is invested in advertising, the money is worth spending.

Besides, it's not non-repayment, it's just taking up one year's funds.

the next day.

The Global Times advertised.

Hadi Group's Wells Fargo Bank launched an interest-free loan to buy TV sets.

As long as you work in the government or a company and have a stable income, you can apply for a credit loan at Wells Fargo Bank, buy a TV and enjoy entertainment.

If you have more than $100 in collateral, including real estate, land, cars, jewelry, etc., you can go to Wells Fargo Bank to make a mortgage, apply for a loan to buy a TV, and enjoy entertainment.

This matter was ordered by Special Envoy Hardy. The main purpose is to let the Japanese people enjoy entertainment programs as soon as possible and enrich the spiritual, cultural and entertainment life of the Japanese people.

Hardy placed TV sets on the streets of the square, allowing many Japanese people to watch TV programs for the first time, and were deeply attracted by the TV programs.

Nowadays, on the streets of Japan, there is a unique scene every night, that is, in the place where the TV is placed, a large crowd of people watch the program, and because of the popularity, many small vendors come to sell soda drinks, snacks and other things.

A small consumer market has formed.

Many people have long wanted to own a TV, but suffer from lack of money. This interest-free loan is definitely an opportunity.

Many people work in the companies of the seven major consortiums. They can get a salary of more than 20 US dollars a month. The TV is worth 100 US dollars. They are required to pay it off in one year. That month, 10 US dollars is enough to pay off the debt, and the remaining money is enough Life.

Many people immediately went to Wells Fargo Bank to apply for loans, and TV sales boomed, which also attracted more Japanese people to TV sets.

For this measure of Special Envoy Hardy, many people expressed their gratitude in their hearts. Compared with MacArthur, Special Envoy Hardy did much better than MacArthur. Although they acquired Japanese companies, they really let Japan economy recovered.

As for whether those companies belong to Japanese chaebols or American chaebols, the people don’t really care. Anyway, they don’t belong to themselves. As long as their lives can be better, it is actually good to belong to the Americans.

As for Hardy, these Japanese are even more grateful.

Hardy has now replaced MacArthur as the new Japanese sage.
