the world is at stake

Ma Keshi bit the bullet and went back to see Minister Marshall, trying to remind him to investigate the large amount of World War II munitions on the Korean battlefield.

But the request for a meeting was rejected, and the minister asked his adjutant to convey it on his behalf, saying that he would pay attention to this issue, and also reminded Brigadier General Willoughby to submit a report on the decision-making process of the Korean battlefield command.

Ruined.

Marshall must think that Marcos is trying to divert attention, from suspicion to disgust.

This is a good tactic of fishing in troubled waters, and immediately shifted the focus of the investigation of the defeat from a mere major to a dignified five-star general.

"Damn it, I'm too young to remind the Ministry of Defense and the FBI to investigate the World War II equipment in the warehouse. This kind of thing should be investigated secretly by the Military Intelligence Agency. Now one step is wrong, step by step is wrong."

Marco's intestines are almost remorseful.His political experience is still a little immature, and his public spirit has become a bird in the early days, and he is about to be beaten to death.

Also in the Pentagon, Zhou Qingfeng listened to the broadcast of the hearing on the radio.The host was puzzled for a while, angry for a while, and reproduced the situation at the scene with an extremely exaggerated tone.

After the first letter was sent, Zhou Qingfeng was even worried that it might be lost in the mail, or that McCarthy didn't know the goods.

But at the hearing, McCarthy obviously did some in-depth work, unearthed a lot of insider information, and even invited Minister Yu from the Nationalist Government.

With his knees, he can imagine how embarrassed Brigadier General Willoughby was when he was questioned.It can even be speculated that the cosplayers of the 'Brotherhood' will be in bad luck next time.

"Hahaha... These bastards still want to play tricks on me to delay the time. I will play with them to the end, and play with them to death." Zhou Qingfeng laughed happily in his small office, overjoyed.

Laughter is a laugh, this guy McCarthy has a lot of energy now, and he won't let go if he grasps the handle.

Zhou Qingfeng was thinking quietly in the office. Now the water is muddy, but his own suspicions have not been cleared. At most, the FBI has no time to take care of him, a little shrimp.

How to take advantage of the current crisis?

In the Congressman's office on Capitol Hill, the showy McCarthy was jumping up and down excitedly.This guy who is good at lying and deceiving is like crazy with joy.

Only the assistant knew why McCarthy lost his composure, because this was the first time he had caught 'evidence' in his 'anti-communist' cause -- this mad dog had always relied on false accusations to gain attention in the past, and there was never any evidence.

"MacArthur was tainted, but I was caught. This is a good opportunity given by God." McCarthy waved his hands at the desk, "We need more inside stories that the media and the public want to hear, the more the better."

The assistant looked at the report letter on the desk. It looked very ordinary, and it was deliberately covered up.The paper and ink used are the most common types, and the posting is also a street mailbox.

The letter was signed 'White House Insider' which is bullshit.At first glance, it seems that someone with a heart is specially used to stir up muddy water.But the letter was indeed heavyweight evidence for McCarthy.

"Your Excellency, we do need more evidence and inside information. But how do we contact the mysterious whistleblower now?" the assistant raised a difficult point.

McCarthy quickly returned to his desk, and read through the mere few pages word by word—Zhou Qingfeng did not reveal his real identity, but said that if the information he provided was useful to the MP, he would contact him again.

Can we just wait?

While frowning, two stern-faced FBI agents arrived on Capitol Hill and knocked on McCarthy's office door.What they came with was...

"Mr. McCarthy, Director Hoover is very interested in the report letter in your hand. He hopes to borrow it. At the same time, he also hopes to get in touch with the whistleblower, and maybe we can have a good chat."

Edgar Hoover was McCarthy's greatest support, and the latter could not resist his demands.

But McCarthy also spread his hands and reported honestly: "The letter can be sent to you, but I don't know who the whistleblower is. He used the pseudonym 'Victor', but did not leave any contact information."

Things get tricky.

But before the words finished, the office phone rang.The assistant stepped forward quickly, grabbed the receiver and said 'hello', then covered the receiver after a while, and whispered, "Victor is calling."

Chapter 71 Pointing to McCarthy

Knowing that the whistleblower called, the two FBI agents went to work.

They asked McCarthy to extend the call as long as possible, and then found another phone to call the Congressional Communications Service, asking to trace the call to McCarthy's office.

Although there are no program-controlled switches yet, electrified crossbars are common.The Communications Office of the National Congress helped to check the line, and after ten minutes, they found out the source of the call.

The specific location is on Wisconsin Avenue not far from the Congress, and it takes less than 5 minutes to drive there.The best part is that the whistleblower is still on the phone with McCarthy and has not stopped.

In the era without computers, the target is determined by checking the connection status of the device. This investigation speed is super fast at present.

The two FBI agents were trembling with excitement, as if a great achievement was just around the corner.They left Congress in a hurry and drove to 178 Wisconsin Avenue to meet the whistleblower who had stirred up American politics.

Because the hearing conducted by McCarthy revealed an unspeakable doubt in the US military and political circles for half a year.

In fact, there were not [-] or [-] people who found that something was wrong with MacArthur and the Far East Army.It's just that Lao Mai has a high position and authority, and no one dares to draw conclusions about his abnormality.

If North Korea's one or two defeats can be attributed to mistakes, the delay of half a year is unreasonable.

Even Lieutenant General Almond of the Tenth Army Corps on the front line reported that the Chinese army on the opposite side was getting more and more difficult to fight, but this could not explain MacArthur's incompetence.

McCarthy is like uncovering a sore, revealing the most impossible reality in front of the Congress, the White House, and the Pentagon—maybe MacArthur, who has always been rebellious, is too comfortable in Japan and has two minds?

Did this admiral really have any collusion with the Soviet Union?

The bosses from all walks of life immediately didn't care about trivial matters such as the theft and sale of second-hand arms, and had to face the possibility of the Far East Army's overall mutiny.

The army is lone overseas and is still strong and strong. If MacArthur really wants to make some troubles, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to Washington.

Not to mention that there is no such possibility, the MacArthur in history stayed in Tokyo for seven years, and his power is deeply rooted and powerful. The nickname of "McEmperor" is not a joke, and there have been many embarrassing things for Washington.

After McCarthy's hearing, Secretary of Defense Marshall asked MacArthur to return home immediately to report on his duties.

But what Congress feared most happened.

Father Clark of COS MacArthur also knew he was in trouble.Knowing that Marco was forced to take a vacation, he was afraid of going back to Washington to take responsibility, but he was lucky enough to refuse the Pentagon's order on the pretext of war tension.

Ma Keshi has been placed under house arrest, and he was so angry that he vomited blood when he learned of this——pig, this is really a brainless pig.

Father, come back honestly, hold several secret hearings as a five-star general, and admit your mistakes to Congress and the Pentagon.Could President Truman shoot you?At most, retire.

Now Congress, the White House, and the Pentagon are unable to step down, and they will definitely use the most severe means to impose punishment-the White House is already holding a cabinet meeting to discuss whether to immediately remove MacArthur from his post and forcefully bring him back to Washington.

As the invisible president of the United States, Edgar Hoover also felt that things were getting more and more incredible.But the FBI's hand could not reach Tokyo, so investigating the whistleblower behind McCarthy became the only breakthrough.

Who provoked McCarthy, the biggest idiot in American politics, to lead this mad dog out to bite people?There must be hidden secrets behind this.

The two detectives drove to the destination, and sure enough, they found a young man covered by newspapers in a telephone booth on the street.Instead of rushing up immediately, they got out of the car and approached quietly, confirming that the person was talking to McCarthy before showing him his ID.

The man on the phone was surprised but cooperative.He said that he had been drinking in a nearby bar and was chatting about the congressional hearing in the morning.

Some people bet that whoever can spoof the other party on the phone with Congressman McCarthy will lose $[-] as long as the call lasts more than half an hour.

So the man on the phone came—the name 'Victor' was given by the bettor, who said he had inside information and that he could play McCarthy by that name.

The FBI agent was dubious, and after contacting McCarthy who was still on the phone, he confirmed that the man on the phone was indeed rambling, except that he was the "Victor" who wrote the report letter, and the rest was reading the news in the newspaper .

Damn, whistleblowers are so crafty.

The detective asked what the person who paid for the bet looked like?Where are you going?

"Tall, fat, bald, in his sixties, with a fierce face. He... was behind me a few minutes ago."

When the man on the phone described it to FBI agents, Zhou Qingfeng put down the binoculars in a car 500 meters away, and took off the costumes and makeup props he bought from a theater store.

He saw everything that happened in the phone booth, and he also knew how fast it would take the FBI to trace a phone call.

After driving away from five or six streets, Zhou Qingfeng threw the disguised props into the roadside trash can.He found another street phone booth, covered the receiver with a sponge, and dialed McCarthy's congressional office after inserting coins.

McCarthy had just learned that he had been tricked, and was sulking after chatting nonsense with an unrelated passerby for nearly half an hour.When the phone rang, he picked up the receiver angrily and called 'Hello'.

A dull and obscure voice came from the microphone, as if his throat was blocked and he could not speak clearly.The other party said, "Mr. McCarthy, you hired people from the FBI to investigate me. This is not a friendly behavior."

"Are you Victor?" McCarthy's thick-skinned, not only not depressed, but very happy, "Are you testing me?"

Zhou Qingfeng didn't waste time talking nonsense.

"I gave you instructions to gain tremendous attention and visibility in front of the American people. If you want more information, you have to do what I say, not go to the FBI."

"No, no, the FBI came here by themselves. I can't stop their investigation." McCarthy is asking the mysterious whistleblower, "You can still trust me, and I will keep it a secret for you."

Hahaha... Zhou Qingfeng was amused.He continued: "If you want to gain my trust, you have to do something for me. Otherwise, you will continue to be a parliamentary clown, relying on sensational tricks to maintain power."

A mutual help deal?

McCarthy likes this way. He feels that providing the report information is a real villain like himself, and it would be easier to open up and talk to each other. "Tell me, what do you want?"

"You are a member of Congress and a member of the very powerful 'Un-American Activities Investigative Committee', which revealed the secret of the Pentagon's defeat in North Korea. You have the right to get all the investigation materials.

I want to know, how much do the investigative agencies like Congress, the White House, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, and the FBI know about North Korea? "

The question was so odd that McCarthy immediately understood that the whistleblower was using a very general question to hide what he really wanted to ask.

"Well, I do have the right to know all the information in this regard. Especially under the current circumstances, no one can hide anything from me."

McCarthy began to discuss related topics with Zhou Qingfeng. First, the Congressional Armed Services Committee’s response to the defeat, then the FBI’s investigation into the disappearance of second-hand arms in stock, and then the Department of Defense’s perception of MacArthur.

Zhou Qingfeng would hang up the phone every 15 minutes, and then drive a few blocks to re-dial the number.He is interested in any situation, and holds a pen and a small notebook in hand to make shorthand notes on topics that interest him.

McCarthy originally wanted to hide his words, so he kept his hand.But he soon discovered that this kind of communication was not his one-way talk, and the mysterious 'Victor' knew the secrets of the US government very well.

The conversation between the two sides is a process of mutual confirmation and supplementation.

During the exchange, McCarthy was surprised to find that he had benefited a lot, and his interest in the conversation became stronger.Sometimes he said something wrong on purpose, and the mysterious 'Victor' would immediately correct him or express his doubts.

After talking for a long time, Zhou Qingfeng would even call this mad dog and tell him how to obtain evidence, instead of doing a bunch of wasted effort in the name of 'anti-communism'.

For Zhou Qingfeng, what he really cares about is how much the FBI and the Pentagon know about the "corruption" of the "Post-War Property Administration", and what interests are behind the "corruption" issue?

These doubts are hidden among many other questions, some of which McCarthy can answer.For those who couldn't answer, he would say that he went to find out after the fact - because Zhou Qingfeng could always ask the key points, which was equivalent to guiding the direction of the investigation.

This tickled McCarthy's itch.

When Zhou Qingfeng said, "That's it for today, I'll contact you another day", McCarthy was a little bit unsatisfied.The latter offered: "Mr. Victor, can you be my political advisor?"

"What?" Zhou Qingfeng was about to pack up and go home, and responded with inexplicable strangeness and vigilance to McCarthy's request.

"I don't have people with a keen sense of politics like you. Most of my assistants are dull. Their analysis of the political situation in Washington is often full of mistakes and omissions, completely deviating from reality."

McCarthy was a politician, of the most incompetent kind.He gained power through intimidation and deceit, and he was surrounded by others of his kind.

McCarthy's spoiler was different from Zhou Qingfeng's.He had a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west. It looked very imposing, but in fact it was not threatening.The really big men looked down on the mad dog at all.

Before Zhou Qingfeng replaced 'Major Chanders', he did a lot of homework and read a lot of biographies and government records of American political circles from 50 to 55 years.

Many currently top-secret reports were declassified 70 years later.Zhou Qingfeng has no secrets at all in the entire American political arena. In terms of the development direction of major events, his words seem to have insight into the truth and sharp thinking.

"You want me to help you?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I need a wise and insightful political veteran like you."

In McCarthy's imagination, Zhou Qingfeng should be an elderly white male who has been immersed in politics for decades, knows all the secrets of Washington, and is a first-class consultant and think tank.

"You make me feel like..." McCarthy thought for a while, "It's like I went to the Justice Department building to meet FBI Director Edgar Hoover. In front of Director Hoover, all secrets are no longer secret."

Hoover has worked as the director of the FBI for nearly half a century, and he also knows all the secrets of American politics.McCarthy compared Zhou Qingfeng with Hoover and rated him extremely highly.

Uncle Zhou thought of the days when he was fornicating the White House.

Wake up and hold the power of the world, and lie on the knees of beauties drunk.The days of being a traitor are so nostalgic!

"I can think about it."

Chapter 72 Let's Corrupt Together

After the call ended, McCarthy sat alone at his desk.A busy tone beeped from the microphone in his hand, but he was so dazed that he didn't notice it.

This once-famous man was elected as a senator at the age of 36, and now he is only 42 years old when he stirs up the pandemonium in the United States.In terms of personal experience, it can be regarded as successful and famous.

But McCarthy's road to politics was not smooth, and he was full of illnesses.As a person with no background, he can't gain any power by normal means, and going to extremes is the only way.

Although he has many "friends" in Washington because of going to extremes, McCarthy is always a pawn and cannot be a chess player-he is an exception in the upper class, and the real superiors will not accept him at all.

But the appearance of Zhou Qingfeng gave McCarthy another way.

The former read historical materials and mastered a large number of celebrity privacy and government secrets.He had no respect even for Director Edgar Hoover, whom everyone feared a little.

"Hoover is a secret keeper. He likes to hold secrets and enjoy the privileges that come with it. He has a great interest in pornography and has a lot of nude photos of celebrities, such as President Roosevelt's wife Eleanor.

By the way, Hoover is also a bit of a transvestite and likes to wear women's clothes.

If you were able to attend some of the bigwigs' intimate gatherings at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, you should see Hoover in a puffy black frilly dress, stockings, high heels, and curly black wig at a gay group sex party. "

During the conversation with Zhou Qingfeng, McCarthy felt that he would either meet a master of fraud or a hidden wise man.He himself is good at playing tricks, and he has been trying to expose the mistakes and omissions in Zhou Qingfeng's words, but the result is to prove his ignorance.

There were some topics that McCarthy knew, but many that even he had only a little or no knowledge of.

Since noon, Zhou Qingfeng would turn on the phone every ten minutes, hang up every 15 minutes, and always take the initiative.This exchange continued late into the night, as if opening an unknown door to McCarthy.

If you just talk about gossip news about Washington politics, then at most it proves that Lord 'Victor' is well-informed.But when it comes to the changes in the political situation and the two parties in power, this mysterious whistleblower really showed his magical power of stripping away the cocoon and simplifying the complex.

Just because Zhou Qingfeng knew the 'answer'.

According to the suggestion, McCarthy should seize MacArthur's handle and not let go, and put the five-star general to death.As long as the 'Emperor Mai' can be brought down, fame and glory will follow naturally.

McCarthy agrees.In the next half month, following Zhou Qingfeng's instructions, he kept issuing hearing notices to the 'Brotherhood' group of 'COS lovers'.

At present, only Marcos is in Washington, and he is summoned to Congress almost every day to suffer—McCarthy deliberately invited some retired World War II officers to question him.

Every hearing is a torture for Marco, because he has to speak and answer the questions of the congressmen professionally.
