the world is at stake

McCarthy was easy to fool, but the retired military officers who accompanied the hearing couldn't. They were all people who had fought in wars, were familiar with command decisions, and could see through any problems at a glance.

Marco was in great pain every day, because the hearing was held in public, and some reporters released the situation on the radio and television stations, which triggered a climax in the ratings and audience ratings across the United States.

In front of the media, Marco tried to find some excuses or make up some stories.But no matter what he said, it would be exposed every minute. After all, hundreds of thousands of heavily armed troops occupying an absolute advantage are stationed in North Korea and do not attack, so it is impossible to justify it.

The more hearings there were, the more it became clear that there was something wrong with the 'fraternity'.As the Minister of Intelligence, Marco Shi is even more difficult to get rid of the guilt. The more he does not explain the problem, the more ghostly it is, and the more uproar the people have.

The situation developed to the point that a large number of family members of the war dead came to Washington to demonstrate and demand a thorough investigation of the mutiny of the Far Eastern Army.

For a while, if the American media did not report on McCarthy's Congressional hearings, they would be immediately abandoned by the public.Newspaper headlines had to be the latest news about the hearings, and anything else wouldn't sell at all.

McCarthy's image this time was extremely positive and impeccable—especially Zhou Qingfeng's proposal to conduct a live TV broadcast pushed his image and the incident to the peak of public opinion.

For the first time in his years as a member of Congress, McCarthy received rave reviews.

In the past, he was opposed and disgusted by many people for his "anti-communist" activities, but the sudden death of tens of thousands of US troops in North Korea completely aroused the anger of the Yankees, and made the "MacArthur" group extremely suspicious.

After a week of torment, Marco’s suffering finally came to an end, because Father Clark, who replaced MacArthur, finally returned—this guy originally wanted to rely on not leaving Tokyo, but was forced by the Ministry of Defense to return to his country to report on his duties.

After Father Clark returned to China, tens of thousands of people ran to the Washington airport to 'welcome' him—tomatoes and rotten eggs were flying all over the sky, and some people played the slogan 'Traitor', bursting the heart of the 'fraternity' leader.

As soon as the priest came back, he was asked by McCarthy to hold a hearing on the situation in Korea.He was forced to have no choice but to choose to admit defeat to Zhou Qingfeng on the dungeon interface.

As long as Zhou Qingfeng chooses to agree, he can immediately leave the dungeon world safely with the proceeds.With this layer of protection, Uncle Zhou's confidence increased greatly, he refused to end it easily, and wanted to earn the maximum benefit.

When the attention of the entire United States began to focus on whether the senior general of the Far East Army Command was treasonous, Zhou Qingfeng felt that the time was ripe, and walked into the office of his boss, Major General John, with a piece of information.

showdown……

Zhou Qingfeng put an investigation report on the Major General's desk and motioned him to take a good look.For nearly a month, Major John has suddenly neglected 'Major Chanders', and no longer has the love he used to regard as his number one ace salesman.Today, the two of them were finally alone, and the atmosphere became weird and tense.

"What is this?" The major general did not touch the report in front of him, but stared at Zhou Qingfeng coldly, "Major, you seem to have exceeded the rules you should abide by."

Zhou Qingfeng only smiled, "This investigation report comes from the FBI, showing all the illegal transactions of the 'Post-War Property Administration' in the past five years."

Hearing the words 'FBI' and 'illegal', Major General John's eyes tightened suddenly.He sulked, "Chanders, do you want to be court-martialed?"

Zhou Qingfeng stood straight in front of the major general's desk, looked down at his immediate superior, and said with a sneer, "Why don't you take a look first? Maybe you will change your mind after reading it."

The major general's face turned blue, his nostrils were on fire and he was breathing heavily. He stared at the most capable and arrogant 'salesman' under him, thinking of killing him immediately.

"If you grab the phone at hand and call the military police, I guarantee you will be taken away too." Zhou Qingfeng pulled the tiger's skin to pull the banner, and stretched out his hand to open the first page of the report for the major general, "I hope that the signatures that have been read can be read. Let you calm down."

The signature came from the director of the FBI, Edgar Hoover—McCarthy helped to get it, and he and Zhou Qingfeng formed some kind of secret ally.

This name dissipated Major General John's arrogance and made him lose his will to fight.His backstage boss is President Truman, but no president can stand up to Director Hoover who holds all the secrets of American politics.

In the 48 years Hoover served as FBI director, no American politician dared to say that he had no clue in his hands.No, not a single one.

And throughout, Hoover never revealed the secret to anyone unless he wanted to.

This material was given to McCarthy by the FBI to clean up the Pentagon, but McCarthy easily gave it to the mysterious 'Victor'.

Seeing Hoover's signature, His Majesty the Major General subconsciously attributed 'Major Chanders' to the FBI, and had to hold back his thoughts and began to read the report handed to him.

The investigative report is nothing new. It contains evidence of second-hand military supplies that Major General Leto John sold at low prices or provided to the outside world for free.

The $340 billion 'post-war estate' is a lucrative asset.The military supplies even include milk powder and flour, and the major general has the final say on how much these things are sold to.

Even the female secretary Lena didn't know about some transactions, but the FBI found the information from the bank.

The sale of "post-war property" constitutes a very complex interest group, and a complete industrial chain has been formed in the party, government and military business in the United States, even including President Truman.

The major general only casually flipped through a few pages, believing that the transactions he had made must have been thoroughly investigated by the FBI.He looked at the 'Major Chanders' in front of him, and threw the beautifully bound investigation report into the shredder next to his desk.

The electric paper shredder made a clicking sound, reducing the thick reports to useless shreds.

The major general was worried that the smashing was not enough, so he did a second smash to feel relieved.After finishing all this, he sat on the seat with his hands folded, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, Chanders, tell me your intention for coming."

Zhou Qingfeng walked to the sofa in the office and sat down, chose a relaxed and comfortable position, poured himself a cup of coffee, added enough milk and sugar, took a sip, and said comfortably: "I'm here to seek cooperation. "

"go on."

"What do you think of pushing the mess of our administration to MacArthur? The people involved in the middle deal can be Israeli Jews. Anyway, those vampires are indeed doing business with the Soviet Union."

"Including the ones you secretly sold?"

"I've earnestly made money for the 'Administration', and never lost a penny."

"You sold the German equipment in the European warehouse to the Chinese, do you really think we don't know?"

"I helped the army reduce the chores of inventory management, and the European garrisons are very happy. This is better than your embezzlement of taxpayers' money. I made money for the United States."

"But because of you, the Far East Garrison suffered tens of thousands of losses."

"Then end the war early, and it can save tens of thousands of people."

The two sparred meaninglessly at each other, but neither of them won.After a while, the major general suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Chanders, who are you negotiating on behalf of?"

"You're asking if I can make a decision, right?"

"That's it."

"Frankly speaking, MacArthur's gang is absolutely problematic, and they are the best scapegoats. He has enough power and status, so he can bear all the responsibilities.

I can give you a suggestion in my personal capacity, why can't we take the opportunity to expand the business?Now is a great opportunity. "

"Now? Do you want to continue?"

"Why not?"

Chapter 73 Showdown

Even though they were sitting face to face, even though it was a major general versus a major, and despite his rich experience, Leto John still couldn't figure out Zhou Qingfeng's details.

Edgar Hoover's autograph was so shocking that it knocked His Excellency Major General out of his mind.His first consideration is not how to fight back, but to prioritize self-protection.

First of all, it can be made clear that if President Truman learns about this matter, it is a question of whether he will come forward to protect Leto John.In the political arena, it is common to draw a clear line of demarcation when crossing rivers and demolishing bridges.

Political forces always have their own plans.Before the FBI investigated 'Major Chanders', Truman was a little nervous and asked Leto John to ensure that no flames would come to the White House.

Now that Zhou Qingfeng took out the FBI's investigation report, His Majesty the Major General pretended nothing had happened, but his heart was tightened.He thought about the consequences of asking Truman for help, and he was afraid that he would be abandoned by the car to protect the handsome man and thrown to the FBI for review.

For nearly ten minutes, Leto John did not speak, frowning for a while, pondering for a while, and closing his eyes for a while.

Zhou Qingfeng was not in a hurry, drank two cups of coffee, and borrowed the major general's special bathroom by the way, and then watched the office decorations boredly.

"Your Excellency, are you very close to the President?" Zhou Qingfeng pointed to a photo hanging on the wall of the office, "Actually, you don't need to think too much. I don't want to kill you, I just want to solve the current troubles.

We don't need to be villains, we just need to give the evidence to McCarthy and let MacArthur and his gang take the blame.The business that should be done continues to be done. "

McCarthy?

The major general was even more vigilant.

"That mad dog just bites."

"Mad Dog has to listen to Chief Hoover, too."

Ahh...the concept is very special.Major General John was lost in thought again, and asked after a while, "What are you going to do specifically?"

"It's very simple. A new batch of accounts can at least be approved by the Ministry of Defense and Congress. By the way, can you transfer your female secretary Lena to me? She is mine."

The second half of the sentence made the Major General's eyes turn red.He scolded viciously: "You bought my secretary?"

"To be exact, I hooked her up. Lena is very pitiful, no one loves her, staying by your side is a torture to her, why not follow me."

"Bastard, it's fine for you to trouble me, but you actually robbed my secretary?" The major general stood up abruptly, slapped the table and cursed.

Zhou Qingfeng only glanced at it, and said calmly: "You can get two young and beautiful new female secretaries, or more."

Lena was taken because the woman had been mentally unstable lately, and her church attendance increased after learning that Congress and the FBI had started investigating 'The Authority' for corruption.

This is undoubtedly like a ticking time bomb.Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to personally arrange an accident, so that the confessor who had heard too many stories and received too much atonement money went to see God.

"Your Excellency John, don't be too angry. As long as we work together, we can solve a lot of things in private, and no one will suffer from it except MacArthur, who is sure to be unlucky."

Zhou Qingfeng seemed to be in control of the overall situation, relaxed and calm.He stood up and was about to leave the office, "Maybe you need more time to think, and at the same time call and chat with other friends to get some advice."

"No." Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng was about to leave, the major general was a little anxious, "Your proposal is very constructive. Come and serve as the deputy director of the management bureau."

Leto John actually thought a lot this month, but he couldn't find a good solution. 'Chanders' is a jerk, but his 'constructive' proposals solve the problem, at least before it explodes out of control.

Zhou Qingfeng was a little surprised, he didn't expect his boss to surrender so quickly.He just said 'um', walked out of the office and called Lena who was outside, and told her face to face that 'the matter has been resolved'.

Lena was terrified at first, ashamed and ashamed.

But Major General John comforted her in turn, saying that he 'didn't care at all', and said with a smile, 'Chanders is a nice person, I wish you happiness'.

These words made the female secretary at a loss, but Zhou Qingfeng quickly opened up the matter and said, "Bring out the problematic transactions, and let's work out how to solve them together."

"Okay, I also want to call a few people over to discuss together." Leto John called his cronies over.

Both sides have urgent needs, and they can do what they say.Five or six people dug out each other's shady accounts and discussed how to settle the matter - Lena's role was obvious.

There are many connections to one account, including the entry and exit of goods and the entry and exit of funds, as well as the handlers and beneficiaries.As long as there is one mistake or omission, it will give away the show.

This requires a person who is very familiar with the business to preside over it - watching Lena find out all kinds of loopholes in her transaction by analogy, the major general and his subordinates were all in cold sweat.

Zhou Qingfeng looked at the other party complacently, and said secretly, "You know I know people well, right? Professional things need professional people to do them. How scary is a female secretary who has worked in the Ministry of Defense for more than ten years?" !"

The actual work actually takes two to three months.But under Zhou Qingfeng's hint, Major General John tentatively contacted McCarthy—the mad dog in Congress got the forged accounts, and immediately began to prepare for publicity.

"I have conclusive evidence of MacArthur's collusion with the enemy and treason."

"MacArthur and his party not only deliberately delayed fighter planes on the battlefield, but also used their power to sell arms to their opponents."

"Now we finally understand why communist China, which has just ended its civil war, suddenly has an extremely powerful army. Behind all unreasonable behavior is a shady scene.

Not only was the Soviet Union helping Communist China, the despicable MacArthur deliberately established a strong enemy for the United States in order to cultivate his power in East Asia. "

"I want to tell the public an extremely shocking news. The American equipment used by the Chinese army on the Korean battlefield was provided by MacArthur."

This news is indeed shocking, but it is also very convincing. It fully explained the defeat of the U.S. military in the Far East for nearly half a year-it must be the selfishness of the U.S. military in the Far East that caused such a big defeat.

Now that the wall is down and everyone is pushing, McCarthy's revelation has attracted shouts and shouts across the United States.

The 'Brotherhood' gang is counted one by one, and they are all placed under house arrest for investigation.Although they could not die temporarily, they lost their personal freedom.

Zhou Qingfeng's position and safety issues are temporarily resolved.For this dramatic reversal, he lamented his luck and was busy continuing the work he had arranged.

The dollars obtained from corrupt KMT officials have basically been spent, and now the main job is to safely transport the goods purchased for hundreds of millions of dollars back.

In addition, there is another important task. The petrochemical equipment to be obtained by European Jews has not been negotiated for a long time.The Jewish profiteer who dealt with this matter took a deposit of 1000 million US dollars and began to procrastinate.

Zhou Qingfeng was promoted to the deputy director of the 'Post-War Property Management Bureau', but he couldn't reach the guy named 'Baker'.The other party is far away in Europe, and they ordered equipment from Dutch 'Shell' and French 'Total' companies.

"This bastard keeps asking me for money, but he refuses to deliver the goods. We must find a way to deal with him."

The oil industry chain is extremely long, and there are no corresponding talents in China.Zhou Qingfeng asked Xiao Jinlang to hire people from East Germany and the Soviet Union to solve the problems of factory construction, equipment installation, and personnel training.

But that all required those jewish vampires to ship out the complete set.However, China has not yet established diplomatic relations with any Western European countries, making transactions extremely difficult.

The time was from April to May to June in 51, and the situation was uneventful.

Li Qiwei took over as the commander of the US military in the Far East.But the volunteer army opposite him has already gone through the battlefield experience of blood and fire, and has become a hard bone that cannot be chewed.

Regardless of artillery fire, air defense, and logistics, the US military no longer has an absolute advantage.Taking advantage of the trend, the Soviet Union proposed an armistice proposal to the UN General Assembly in April.

Due to the continuous upsurge of public opinion in the United States, it is impossible to accept the armistice negotiations.But the U.S.-China front in North Korea is effectively disengaged, and both sides want to catch their breath.

There are still ten "free ships" arriving on the southeast coast of China on time every month.

Every time a freighter comes, the PLA Air Force and the newly formed "Second Artillery" will take the opportunity to bomb Taiwan to ensure the safe arrival of these extremely valuable industrial equipment.

On the newly built pier in Tianjin, more than a dozen port cranes dismantled from the United States have been installed. After the 'Freewheel' stops, the speed of cargo loading and unloading is greatly improved.

In June, the Prime Minister rushed from the imperial capital to Tianjin, accompanied by Xiao Jinlang, to visit the unloading of equipment shipped from overseas.Hundreds of trucks lined up to enter the port area, pulling away the checked containers.

"I heard that this standard container is very good." When the Prime Minister arrived at the port, he didn't boast about anything. He first praised Xiao Jinlang's standardized logistics and transportation system.

There are no containers yet, let alone heavy-duty trucks that can pull containers.The equipment from the ocean is basically placed in the cargo ship in the form of bulk cargo.The space utilization efficiency is very low.

Borrowing the concept of containers, Xiao Jinlang first set up more than a dozen wood processing factories in China to produce standard containers within the limit of the size of railway and road transportation.

Wooden containers have certain technical requirements in production and assembly, which can be regarded as training junior workers.The standardized logistics has been on trial for several months and has received rave reviews from all over the country.

"The comrades in charge of transportation all told me that the standard container looks ordinary, but it is convenient to use."

The Prime Minister was also full of praise when he mentioned the container.

"It reduces loss, you don't have to worry about wind and rain, it is easy to load and unload, and it saves stacking space, which greatly improves transportation efficiency. Such a good idea, why did no one think of it in the past?"

Xiao Jinlang was just borrowing the experience of later generations, so he was ashamed to be praised.He nodded and said: "In the past, the transportation volume was small, and there were not enough trucks. Scattered goods are more convenient for manual handling.

Standard containers need the cooperation of cranes to come in handy, which is a product of industrialized society.We want to develop industrialization, not just how much electricity is generated, how much steel is smelted, how much coal is mined, the whole society has to be industrialized. "

The tens of millions of tons of industrial equipment that Zhou Qingfeng brought in were basically complete sets, and he also brought in a large number of engineers and technicians from the socialist camps such as the Soviet Union and East Germany. This was like giving blood to domestic development.
