Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Illegitimate children are widespread in overseas colonies of all countries, and are not unique to the Philippines.

But in the Philippines, this problem is particularly acute.

The U.S. military is notorious for its lack of discipline, especially on precarious battlefields where no one knows what the fate of the next moment will be, and the idea of ​​carpe diem is rampant.

For most Americans, this behavior is unacceptable.

The United States is a country founded by the Puritans. The Puritans who first arrived in the United States tried to establish a society based on theological laws in the United States, emphasizing faith, morality, and education, which had a profound impact on American culture and political systems.

Those American soldiers whose private lives are chaotic and merciless in the Philippines may be good fathers, good sons, and model citizens when they are in the United States, but they degenerate into emotional liars and seeders overseas. Is this a problem for the Americans or the United States?

Government problem?

Americans are actually very magical in terms of morality. While they thanked the Indians for taking them in, they raised their butcher knives to the Indians.

Although slavery was abolished, widespread racial discrimination was ignored.

The U.S. government participated in two world wars in the name of fairness and justice, but its purpose was to plunder more benefits and earn the last copper.

Here you can see how serious the divisions in American society are.

Moreover, this tearing is not natural, but is deliberately guided by the US government.

The report of "Singapore Daily" aroused strong attention in the United States, especially the opposition Republican Party, which showed extraordinary enthusiasm for the report of "Singapore Daily".

This is also a common problem in democracy. For the sake of practical interests, the ruling party has to ignore long-term planning.

The opposition parties are trying their best to create trouble for the ruling party.

Since Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, the Democratic Party of the United States has been in power for 15 consecutive years. During this period, the Republican Party tried every means but failed to drive Roosevelt out of Whitehall.

As mentioned in the previous chapter, it was in 1932 when Roosevelt came to power that the U.S. government passed the "Haile Harvey Gatting Independence Act", demanding the independence of the Philippines.

Based on the principle that the ruling party agrees and the opposition party must oppose, the Philippines issue becomes the best opportunity for the Republican Party.

Similar to the significance of the Russo-Japanese War to Japan, it was through the "Spanish-American War" that the United States fired its first shot against traditional powers, and since then it has joined the ranks of imperialism and officially participated in the global colonial competition.

As the first spoil of the United States' foreign expansion, the Philippines is of extraordinary significance to the United States. Otherwise, the United States would not have spent so much effort in the Philippines.

If the Philippines becomes independent, all the past efforts of the U.S. government will be in vain.

Whose responsibility is this?

There is no doubt that this is the responsibility of the ruling party.

The U.S. government will definitely try its best to cover up the scandal in the U.S. military.

However, with the help of the Republican Party, after "Battlefield Express" reprinted the "Lion City Daily" report, more and more American media began to reprint the "Lion City Daily" continuous reports, many of which have close ties with the Republican Party.

newspapers even sent a special reporting team to the Philippines.

The slogan of the U.S. government's participation in World War II was to save peace, not to save ignorant girls. Good, law-abiding children in the United States turned into morally corrupt scumbags after joining the army. This is also the responsibility of the ruling party. The ruling party should not only

The girls in Manila and those innocent children should be responsible for the moral standards of American soldiers.

To put it bluntly, who can guarantee that tens of millions of American soldiers will immediately turn back into law-abiding model citizens after returning to the United States?

If not, and waiting for tens of millions of American soldiers to return home, the United States will face an unprecedented moral decline.

"The Philippines is not as worthless as our government claims. We invest tens of millions of dollars in the Philippines every year, but how much of it is actually used for the construction of the Philippines? If Philippine officials can fulfill their duties, then after the Japanese invasion

By then, not so many Filipinos would have chosen to join the Japanese servant army——" New York State Governor Thomas Dewey said bluntly in an interview with the "New York Times". He was considered to be Truman's most important leader two years later.

opponent.

Thomas Dewey was born in 1902 and is just 43 years old this year. He is not a political amateur. In last year's presidential election, Dewey, as the Republican candidate, was defeated by Roosevelt.

Unlike Truman, who came from a grassroots background, Dewey came from a distinguished family. Among the first Puritans who immigrated to the United States, there were Dewey's ancestors.

Dewey received an elite education and graduated from the University of Michigan and Columbia Law School. He was a famous lawyer, district attorney, and special prosecutor. Among the organized criminals prosecuted by Dewey or his office, 94% of the defendants were found guilty.

This result is outstanding in the United States.

The United States is a country where rich people can do whatever they want. Rich people can not only lobby the jury but even bribe the judge when they commit crimes, so it is very difficult to get rich people to plead guilty.

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that Dewey is considered the most outstanding public prosecutor in the 20th century. Although he lost to Roosevelt last year, he was successfully elected as the governor of New York, which made Dewey's reputation even higher.

The governor of New York obviously could not satisfy Dewey's ambitions and lost to Roosevelt. Dewey could barely accept it because Roosevelt's reputation in the United States was unmatched.

When Roosevelt was alive, no one could do it.

Now that Roosevelt has passed away, Dewey did not take Truman seriously at all, and entered the state in advance to point fingers at the ruling party.

The reason why Dewey focused on Philippine officials in the interview was to kill two birds with one stone. While pulling in the ruling party, he also slandered Philippine Governor General MacArthur. After all, in last year's presidential election, MacArthur intended to run on behalf of the Republican Party, which could barely be regarded as Dewey's potential candidate.

Competitors.

Although MacArthur was more of a threat to Dewey than nothing, Dewey still did not want to give MacArthur any chance.

"We are suffering unprecedented failures in East Asia and have also been hit hard in Europe. Many entrepreneurs have complained to me that orders have disappeared, profits are slipping, exports are getting less and less, and competition is becoming more and more fierce. If our government no longer wants to

method, then the economic crisis seems inevitable." Dewey was not an alarmist, there were already signs of an economic crisis.

"If you become president, how will you deal with the current situation? It seems that you are ready-" Maury Lewis, a famous reporter from the New York Times, was very cooperative. He is an old friend of Dewey and participated in last year's presidential election.

, he cheered for Dewey many times.

"I do have some solutions, but I can't say them now, because the solutions that suit me may not be suitable for Whitehall now - but I am confident that even four years later, I will still have a way to lead the United States out of the economic quagmire, just like Franklin

As he once did." Dewey placed himself alongside Roosevelt, showing great confidence.

This is actually a cake painting.

If American voters believed what Dewey said and voted for Dewey three years later and elected Dewey as President of the United States, then it would not matter whether Dewey could do it by then. Dewey would have found the right candidate anyway.

reason.

Some American habits are really terrible. Some people commit evil all their lives. As long as they repent to God at the last moment of their lives, they can be forgiven by God and go to heaven after death.

The U.S. government is even more terrifying. Slavery and the massacre of Indians were once the biggest moral stains in the United States. So after the United States abolished slavery and stopped systematically massacring surviving Indians, it was as if these things had never happened.

, I feel at ease from top to bottom.

The United States' attitude towards war is equally frighteningly casual. The Chinese proverb is "No matter how big a country is, it will perish if it is warlike." However, the United States uses war as a sharp tool to divert domestic conflicts. From the earliest Britain to later Spain, to Germany and Japan,

As well as southern Africa for a period of time, the United States always needs an "enemy" in order to survive better.

"Is there anything you want to say to the girls and children in Manila?" Morrie Lewis took the initiative to create space for Dewey.

"That is the job of the current president. What I want to remind you senators and representatives is that if the United States wants to be the leader of the future world, it must have the height and ambition of a leader. We spent a huge price to conquer the Philippines from the Spanish.

After snatching it away, tens of thousands of Americans sacrificed and spent billions of dollars for it, so now we cannot abandon the Philippines easily. This is not only irresponsible to the Philippines, but also irresponsible to the whole world." Dewey values ​​​​and does not follow.

Truman was tangled in the quagmire.

As a loyal supporter of Dewey, the New York Times published the full text of Dewey's interview the next day, which raised American society's attention to the Philippines to a new level.

After Roosevelt died unexpectedly, in the minds of most Americans, Dewey was the most suitable president of the United States.

As for Truman—

Who is Truman? Compared with Dewey, Truman is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Although the next presidential election will not be held until three years later, some newspapers already believe that Dewey has already reserved the presidency and will easily defeat Truman or any other Democratic candidate in the next presidential election.

This is really not flattery. In another time and space, the election of Dewey and Truman made a big joke.

The joke is about Chang Kaishen.

In another time and space, in 1948, the 41st presidential election of the United States, the Democratic and Republican candidates were Truman and Dewey respectively. Everyone firmly believed that Dewey would win the election, and Chang Kaishen was also convinced.

So Chang Kaishen took the money from Truman's aid and sponsored Dewey to compete with Truman, which once pushed Truman into a desperate situation.

After Truman won the election, Chang Kaishen was completely dumbfounded. He knew that Truman would definitely not let him go after he took office, so Chang Kaishen was electrified and left office on the day Truman's second term began.

It was not yet 1948, but Dewey had already begun to build momentum for himself and his influence on the United States was growing. Even Eisenhower, who was in Europe, was not immune to the impact of this incident.

Like MacArthur, Eisenhower was also interested in Whitehall.

The difference is that Eisenhower is more reserved and not as flamboyant as MacArthur. So far, Eisenhower has not shown any political leanings.

In the United States, soldiers cannot have political leanings, but this restriction can only work for some people. For people like MacArthur, this rule is in name only.

As the commander-in-chief of the US military in Europe, Eisenhower was not comfortable expressing his position in front of the media.

Eisenhower was very good at dealing with the media. Whenever he had something to say, his press officer would bring reporters to Eisenhower's office and gather around his desk.

He said that reporters took notes while listening, just like chatting with friends, and formal press conferences were rarely held.

"I know what you want to ask, and I hope you can listen to the voice of a veteran before writing your article -" Eisenhower had been working hard to learn how to deal with the news media, especially neutral media.

Ordinarily, reporters cannot take a stand, and reporting must follow the principle of neutrality and objectivity.

This is actually nonsense. People have feelings. Journalists may not have a stance, but newspaper owners do. Newspapers and magazines are windows to the world for the people, and business for the bosses, so whoever pays more

, in principle, I will help anyone.

Attention is just a principle. When it comes to journalists, they can guide readers appropriately when writing articles. This is the charm of writing.

"The real battlefield is full of blood and flesh. One moment you may be reading a letter from your sweetheart, and the next moment you will be hit by a cannonball. There will be no bones left. You will not even receive pensions. Your family and friends can only live in endless waiting and despair.

"Chinese——" Eisenhower's expression was solemn and his eyes were sad. The reporters were writing furiously. Apart from Eisenhower's deep voice, there was only the sound of writing in the office: "——The soldiers are all alive.

People have flesh and blood and emotions. They will fight bravely when facing the enemy, and they will also be afraid and sad in the dead of night. So I can understand that the soldiers should vent their emotions appropriately after a bloody battle. We call it

It’s PTSD, postwar traumatic stress syndrome.”

Eisenhower did not condemn the atrocities committed by the Philippine US military, but explained the behavior of the Philippine US military as a disease.

This is very reasonable. If he is sick, he must be treated. Otherwise, if the disease relapses after returning to the United States, it will be the Americans who will be harmed by then.

Compared with the potential dangers posed by the Americans, the Philippines was obviously not significant enough. Although Eisenhower did not say it explicitly, his attitude was very clear.

That’s right, America comes first.

"I believe that our soldiers' original intention is not to hurt other people. They also have their own emotional needs. This is a normal battlefield romance. I don't think any soldier will abandon his lover, but we all know that in this situation,

In the war, too many people died—"Eisenhower was impeccable. His father who disappeared was killed in battle and was not missing intentionally.
