Chapter 24 President Truman's face is getting bigger

After landing in Incheon, amidst the praises all over the world, MacArthur's vanity, which was already mad, exploded like a rabies attack. He went crazy. He dared to be mad at the president. When MacArthur's United Nations Army was about to cross the 38th parallel, President Truman hesitated for fear of major problems. Is North Korea easy to deal with?What about China?What about the Soviet Union? It's better to be cautious. President Truman made up his mind to meet the proud MacArthur and listen to his opinions. Hearing his great opinions, I feel at ease. Facing the president's request, Commander MacArthur replied: "Your Excellency, the war is going on right now, and I cannot leave myself."

It means: We can meet each other, but please come to me, Mr. President! Who made him so awesome! No way, as a politician, President Truman had no choice but to condescend and fly to a place called Wake Island in the Pacific Ocean to hold talks with Commander MacArthur on related issues. This Wake Island is more than 6,000 kilometers away from the continental United States, but it is very close to South Korea. At that time, a reporter reported that this was not a meeting between the superior and the subordinate, but an international meeting between the two heads of state. How can I make up for it?

A president is a president after all, and smart Truman has a way. When his "Independence" presidential plane flew over Wake Island, he ordered the plane to circle in the sky, but it didn't come down. The plane was not ordered to land until it was confirmed that Commander MacArthur had arrived at the airport. When this Commander MacArthur saw the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces and Mr. President, he did not give a military salute according to the etiquette. He just stepped forward and shook hands with the President. During the meeting, when Truman explicitly asked MacArthur whether the U.S. crossing the 38th parallel would cause China to send troops, MacArthur said with certainty that China would not send troops.

He analyzed that if China sends troops, "it will definitely suffer extremely heavy casualties." Fearing that the president might not understand, he emphasized: "If the Chinese really intervene, then our air force will make the banks of the Yalu River full of blood!" Understood? Understood. understand what? China is powerless to intervene. Commander MacArthur's genius analysis is reasonable. Now, Truman, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, was relieved. Before the talks ended, the rebellious Commander MacArthur became a little impatient with Truman, who was the president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and wanted to end this boring talk early.

Joseph?Gregory records that MacArthur "took out a gold pocket watch, looked at it, slowly rubbed the glass with his fingers, and put it in his pocket." Ha ha!Who is this for?It is to the president and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces! Even with friends and colleagues, you can't do this. It can be seen that this Mike Madness I is really the son of Niu Qun marrying a daughter-in-law—the calf has grown up!
