Chapter 125 Although the decision of the US government is useless, it is also rational and pragmatic

In just seven months, the U.S. military, the world's largest, was beaten all the way by the weak Chinese army, and fled all the way south, from the Yalu River to the 38th parallel. The world's strongest army - the face of the US army is greatly lost; The strongest president in the world - the president of the United States has lost face; The most powerful country in the world, the United States, has lost face. This matter will fall on Japan, and we cannot let it go anyway.Not only is the Great Japanese Empire so powerful, but it was not as powerful as the Qing Dynasty back then, and it dared to launch a naval battle in the Yellow Sea to confront the Qing Dynasty!Even though it was far inferior to the United States, it dared to attack Pearl Harbor and start a war with a much stronger opponent!

This matter is going to fall on the Soviet Union, and it cannot stop there anyway.The Soviet Union is a powerful country, and the Soviet army is an army of heroes, strong and aggressive have been integrated into the blood.A weak country dares to be our enemy and take the initiative to attack us, it is incredible!In any case, you can't let it go!If not, destroy him with an atomic bomb! Interestingly, the protagonist of this war is the United States of America.Can the United States, the world's largest, bear this tone? From May 2 to 16, 1951, the U.S. National Security Council sat down again to discuss the Korean War, and the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee co-chaired a joint hearing.MacArthur, Marshall, Acheson, Bradley, and the chiefs of staff of the three armed forces attended the meeting. Not only that, but also former Secretary of Defense Jameson, former ambassador to China Hurley, and former US military commander Wedemeyer Also attended the meeting, a total of 13 people attended the meeting.

At this meeting, seven weeks of great debates were held on the United States' Far East policy, mainly its policy towards China.Through this debate, the U.S. government made an almost useless decision: make peace with China, stop fighting! It is better to lose face than to benefit. This is America, this is the United States of America. I think that this kind of decision-making thinking that does not seek fame and is not fighting spirit is precisely the important reason why the century-old world boss has not declined. Once big and powerful countries encounter problems, they tend to make irrational or even fanatical decisions.

It is easy to make irrational decisions, because such decisions are simple and follow "public opinion".For the defeated United States, just keep fighting. In an irrational state, rationality is often considered useless and conservative, which is simply a loss of power and humiliation to the country. American politicians are rational and not vindictive.
