The Allied bombing of Japan aroused strong repercussions internationally.
This is the first time in human history that a non-contact method has been used to directly attack an opponent. Japan is also one of the few powerful countries in the world, but it has been repeatedly crushed to the ground by southern Africa and has no power to fight back. It has an army of millions.
The navy, which ranked third in the world in terms of strength before the war, has now dropped to fourth place, is of no use at all. This cannot help but make people think.
The methods of warfare have evolved to an extent that many people cannot understand.
Japan is still struggling to its death, clamoring for 100 million pieces of jade, which actually has no effect. Even if 100 million pieces of jade are really broken, southern Africa will not stop attacking Japan.
MacArthur did not want to kill 100 million Japanese. He wanted to kill 20 million, and the remaining 50 million were the most docile, so that Japan would forever become a colony of the United States.
"It is southern Africa that is killing Japan. What we are doing is revenge. This is the price Japan pays for challenging the United States." MacArthur did not want to bear the infamy. He also wanted to be president and could not leave a stain.
"The Japanese have put forward the latest conditions and are willing to compensate us for our losses. In return, we will provide protection for some political dignitaries in Japan, such as His Majesty the King who has always claimed to be in Kyoto, but in fact no one knows where he is.
." Wainwright, who has returned to Manila, has become the best bridge of communication between Japan and the United States.
After Tokyo was bombed for the first time, Japan contacted the Allies through Vichy France and tried to restore peace with the Allies on the condition of withdrawing from all invaded lands after the Pearl Harbor incident.
This request was vetoed by An Qi, who only wanted to withdraw from the land invaded after the Pearl Harbor incident. Japan had to surrender unconditionally.
At that time, Japan was not at the end of its rope, so naturally it would not accept Angel's request, so it would continue to fight.
It cannot be said that the beating will continue. It can only be said that the Japanese will continue to be beaten.
At the beginning of the year, the Japanese finally couldn't hold on anymore. This time the Japanese learned to be smart and no longer went to Angel, but to MacArthur, hoping to use the good relations between Japan and the United States to promote peace in East Asia.
Peace!
The Japanese are actually peace-loving, who would believe it if they told it?
In order to show its sincerity, Japan returned Wainwright, who surrendered during the Battle of the Philippines, to serve as a special envoy for communication between the two sides.
Wainwright has fulfilled his mission and is indeed actively pursuing his mission.
MacArthur is also very sincere. If the war in East Asia can be ended peacefully, it will be a huge improvement in MacArthur's personal reputation.
"Japan can compensate us for our losses in Pearl Harbor and the Philippines, but how should we compensate for the military expansion, the huge losses it has caused to East Asian countries, and the psychological damage it has caused to the Chinese in southern Africa?" MacArthur was still very smart and would not
Agree to the Japanese conditions easily.
Without the consent of southern Africa, it is not enough for MacArthur to want to negotiate. MacArthur knew very well how deep the hatred of southern Africans towards Japan was, and that could not be compensated for by money.
Blood debt must be paid with blood!
Now within the Allied Forces, everyone is very secretive about the connection between southern Africa and a certain country in East Asia.
With the technological capabilities and industrial strength of southern Africa, coupled with the human resources of a certain country in the East, it would be an absolute disaster for the international structure that the Anglo-Saxons spent hundreds of years establishing.
Therefore, many people deliberately downplay the mysterious connection between southern Africa and a certain country in East Asia.
Third Brother: Yes, it was my brother from South Africa who helped me to rescue me from my British father.
"The Japanese expansion in Northeast Asia has nothing to do with us." Wainwright, probably suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, actually started to defend Japan.
"Jonathan, what's the matter with you? Don't forget that you are an American, an American general." MacArthur didn't know what was wrong, and clearly felt that something was wrong with Wainwright.
That's right, Stockholm Syndrome originated from a hostage incident in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, in 1973, and it has not happened yet.
Leaving MacArthur's office and returning to his apartment, the road was desolate, and Wainwright felt infinitely desolate.
Manila was devastated by the war and has not yet returned to its original state and prosperity before the war broke out.
Washington did not allocate even one dollar to Manila, and did not even want the Philippines, a lagging colony. MacArthur was still campaigning for Manila. This was not only unhelpful, but earned MacArthur the nickname "King of the Philippines."
After the fighting in the Philippines ended, MacArthur sent approximately 200,000 Japanese troops and Filipino prisoners of war to Manila to try to restore the city's scars.
Construction waste can be hauled away and corpses can be buried. As time goes by, people will eventually forget the pain caused by the war.
But without money, there would be no construction. So many modern cities in southern Africa were built with money, and MacArthur could only do so.
Wainwright's temporary residence is next to the former Manila City Hall, which is also the only relatively well-preserved area in post-war Manila.
The reason why it is relatively well-preserved is because the Japanese army claimed before the war that the area around the city hall was used to detain American prisoners of war, so the Allied forces restrained themselves during the bombing, and this area was spared.
Jonathan just returned from Changi Naval Base a few days ago.
If there were no Changi Naval Base for comparison, perhaps Jonathan would not be in such a bad mood.
In the same war, the Philippines was reduced to rubble from south to north. Not only was the Changi Naval Base not attacked, it was also thriving and prosperous. This was really difficult for Jonathan to accept.
Jonathan's apartment used to be the mansion of a wealthy businessman. From the appearance, it is easy to tell that the design of the house was made by a famous artist. The building material is the best white marble. There should have been a statue in the fountain in front of the door, but now it is no longer known.
The end.
The furnishings in the house were a bit shabby and inconsistent with the exquisite and elegant style. Yuko, who had accompanied Jonathan to Manila, greeted him with a bright smile and took the hat from Jonathan's hand with enthusiasm.
"Thank you for your hard work. The meal is always hot. Do you want to fill the bathtub with water? You can take a bath after the meal -"
"Thank you, I'll do it myself -" Jonathan can still take off his shoes and doesn't need Yuko to serve him.
Yuko looked sad after being rejected.
Jonathan was injured when he surrendered, and Yuko was Jonathan's nurse in the prisoner of war camp.
In the prisoner of war camp, Jonathan didn't know what kind of fate he was about to face, and he was extremely worried.
Yuko's appearance gave Jonathan just the right amount of comfort, and the two of them became very close as time went by.
The Japanese noticed this and kept Yuko with Jonathan, so Jonathan brought back a Japanese woman in a daze.
This is normal in Southeast Asia. Many American soldiers in the Philippines have second families. The US military is well aware of this but does not stop it.
It is better to have a fixed partner than to have a new one every day. Because of that, the probability of contracting diseases in the US military is very high.
There is a saying that Japanese women are truly outstanding in serving others and their service is extremely considerate.
As soon as Jonathan sat down, Yuko brought out the meals at just the right temperature, including steamed grouper, fried luncheon meat, Nyasaland lamb chops, and a bowl of Jonathan's favorite fruit and vegetable salad, which was extremely sumptuous.
"I'm really sorry. I couldn't find the same tableware. The Military Service Club doesn't allow me to enter-" Yuko's way of apologizing is something Jonathan is still not used to. It's not a big mistake. Just give him an apologetic expression.
, but Yuko was kneeling on the ground.
It's not like kneeling upright, but lying on the ground and huddled in a ball, hands folded under the head, extremely humble.
Jonathan never worshiped God with such piety.
Only then did Jonathan notice that four dishes were served on three different colored plates, and the edge of one plate was a little damaged. In the end, he probably used a bowl to hold the vegetable salad because he couldn't find a plate.
There were no familiar knives or forks. There were only two chopsticks in front of Jonathan. If you look closely, the colors of the chopsticks were slightly different, which was indeed a bit miserable.
"What's going on?" Jonathan's focus is that Yuko is not allowed to enter the Military Service Club.
It's amazing to say that the Military Service Club in Manila was actually opened by the military in southern Africa.
What's even more amazing is that everyone, including American soldiers, takes it for granted.
Although there are service agencies provided by the US military in Manila, American soldiers prefer military service agencies in southern Africa because the services there are more attentive, the types of goods are richer, the quality is better, and the prices are cheaper——
Don't think that all American soldiers are rich. Many American soldiers are very poor, far from the generous southern African soldiers.
Moreover, the influence of the U.S. dollar has not yet reached the level of buying it all over the world. Many countries now prefer pounds and rands.
With Yuko's explanation, Jonathan realized what happened.
This afternoon Yuko went to the Military Service Club for shopping. Although Yuko was not wearing a kimono, some of her actions still revealed her identity, so the Military Service Club refused to provide services to Yuko.
"Is it just that?" Jonathan felt keenly that things were not that simple.
Under Jonathan's questioning, Yuko revealed that not only did she not receive services from the Military Service Club, but she was almost attacked by other customers.
The staff of the Military Service Agency did not provide protection for Yuko, and some even participated in verbal violence against Yuko, which made Jonathan very angry.
"That's too much, I'm going to find them!" Jonathan shouted.
In the prisoner of war camp, Yuko accompanied Jonathan through the most difficult days.
Now it's Jonathan's turn to provide protection for Yuko. Although Yuko is Japanese, Jonathan is still duty-bound.
"Sir, please don't, you can't ruin your relationship because of me -" Yuko begged, but instead of calming Jonathan's anger, it only added fuel to the fire.
How can I bear to treat such a considerate and sensible little girlfriend like this?
How can I bear it!
To highlight the point, Jonathan, who was born in 1883, is now in his sixties.
The Military Service Society is always so busy. It not only provides a variety of high-quality and low-priced southern African goods, but also operates a currency exchange business. Soldiers can sell their trophies to the Military Service Society or choose to mail them home. There are even
It also provides cleaning services. If a soldier does not want to wash his clothes, he can send his clothes, shoes, and even bedding here, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied.
"Sir, what do you need?" The little girl from the Military Service Club was polite.
"I need some respect!" Jonathan came up and slapped the table.
The little girl was shocked. How could she sell this thing?
How much does it cost per pound?
"My wife came to do shopping in the afternoon. Not only did you not provide service to her, but you also allowed other customers to attack my wife. This is a serious offense. I need your reasonable explanation and sincere apology-" When Jonathan spoke
, Yuko beside him kept bowing.
The ninety-degree bow, with both hands still on the bent knees, is extremely weak.
"Is your wife Japanese?" the little girl's voice turned cold, her face as frosty as ice.
Immediately, other customers noticed what was happening here.
Those who come to the Military Service Club are either soldiers or military family members. Ordinary people are not qualified to enter the door of the Military Service Club.
You can go sideways.
Next to the Military Service Club is a shopping store open to everyone. Although the price is a bit expensive, the quality is also guaranteed.
"You are an American, why is your wife Japanese?"
The little girl didn't need to say anything, someone next to her immediately asked in a disdainful tone.
"You're still a general - you really did the best thing!"
"Don't you know that there is a state of war between our two countries?"
"Wars between countries should not affect ordinary people, and the feelings between us will not affect my loyalty to the United States -" Jonathan finally realized at this time that he seemed to have made a mistake.
"Ha, you should say this to the Japanese in the concentration camps. They have all become American citizens-"
"Many of them were born in the United States and have never been to Japan in their lives——"
"Can't even speak Japanese——"
Jonathan was obviously defeated by a large group of aunts with overwhelming fighting power.
Now Jonathan finally understood why Winston said that two women equal a thousand ducks.
Winston did not say this when he was quarreling with his wife, but said it publicly in the British Parliament.
"Sir, if you are not going to shop, please leave here and do not affect our business order -" the little girl issued an expulsion order with a look of disgust on her face.
Your grandfather, who is over 60 years old, actually found a girl who looks underage to be his wife. Don’t be ashamed!
No, these words are too offensive and should be offensive.
This can’t be blamed on the little girl’s misunderstanding. The height of Japanese people is a flaw. Yuko’s height is about 1.4 meters. This is the height of wearing clogs. In southern Africa, she is indeed a minor.
