Chapter 1256 The Darkening of America Part 3
"Do you need the American Hans von Seeckt?" MacArthur, the most experienced of the three American generals, asked, "Mr. President, are we going to build an American Wehrmacht?"
"Yes," Kennedy nodded, "We need a Wehrmacht like the German Wehrmacht after World War I!" He looked at MacArthur, "General, do you understand what I mean?"
The faces of the three US Army generals changed at the same time. The German Wehrmacht after World War I was not an army that obeyed orders and commands. The German civilian government could not command this army at all. It was not until Hindenburg became president that the army became more obedient. However, until now, the German Wehrmacht still maintains a considerable degree of independence, and the Hitler government cannot fully control the Wehrmacht.
In Germany, which has the tradition of "the army owns the country", it is not surprising that the Wehrmacht maintains a certain degree of independence. But in a free and democratic country like the United States, the emergence of an army like the German Wehrmacht that does not obey orders is undoubtedly destroying the American system and tradition.
"Mr. President," Marshall, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, had long known about the "U.S. Wehrmacht". He nodded and said, "The U.S. Wehrmacht, like the former German Wehrmacht, is one of the key factors for the revival of the United States in the future!"
"George, can you become General Seckt?" Kennedy asked.
"No, I can't." Marshall was a relatively disciplined soldier and couldn't do the work of a warlord. He looked at MacArthur and Patton, and then said, "I recommend General Patton to be the future Chief of Staff of the U.S. Wehrmacht!"
Kennedy cast his eyes on Patton, who looked unconvinced. Patton nodded and said, "President, I'll do it! I will definitely make the Wehrmacht the foundation for the future revival of the U.S. armed forces!" He looked at MacArthur, who was five years older than him. This seemingly awesome general was a general in World War I, and he served as the Army Chief of Staff during the interwar period. He was a real big shot in the army.
"President," Patton said, "I think General MacArthur can become the Hindenburg President of the United States."
It's not enough to have Seeckt alone. Without Hindenburg, the Wehrmacht would sooner or later be conquered by the white left civilian government of Germany. So General Patton believed that the United States must also have a Hindenburg! And the Hindenburg of the United States is MacArthur. No one is as senior as him, and he has a good image, tall and handsome, and he looks very serious when he holds a corncob pipe. In the United States, which pays more attention to appearance, it is easier to cheat votes and become president if you look good.
Kennedy glanced at MacArthur, smiled and said, "General, what do you think of General Patton's arrangement?"
"I will consider it," MacArthur paused, "but I am a Republican."
MacArthur didn't know that the Democratic Party was about to become fascist, and he didn't want to run for president for the notorious Democratic Party now.
"Well," Kennedy nodded, "No problem... I am a non-partisan president. As long as it is good for the United States, I don't care what party you belong to." He thought for a while, "How about this, Admiral, you go back to Australia first. Become a hero of America, and then return to the United States."
"Become a hero of America?" MacArthur felt a little strange - he was already a hero, and he was a hero during World War I!
"You have to do something big!" Kennedy said, "You have to rebel!"
"Rebel... rebel!?" MacArthur was stunned again and again, "Boss, President, what do you mean?"
Kennedy carefully chose his words and said slowly: "There are many American troops in Australia and New Zealand. There are now hundreds of thousands. When the European Community-US Peace Treaty is passed by the US Congress, the number will exceed 1 million, and there will be a large amount of equipment and ammunition."
The European Community-US Peace Treaty will not be voted on in Congress immediately, but will be delayed to September or October on the pretext of the American workers' movement. The purpose of the delay was actually to transport people and things to Australia and New Zealand - once the European Community-US Peace Treaty was passed, the United States could not openly violate the treaty and support the resistance movement in Australia and New Zealand.
"After the treaty is passed and takes effect," Kennedy said, "the government will order the troops stationed in Australia and New Zealand to withdraw to the United States in accordance with the treaty. And you... General MacArthur will refuse to obey orders, announce the establishment of the American Freedom Corps in Australia and New Zealand, and break away from the leadership of the US Army Department."
"Announce the establishment of... the Freedom Corps? And break away from the leadership of the Army?" MacArthur looked at Kennedy, "President, this is a violation of US military law. If I do this, I will be arrested and tried when I return to the United States."
"Yes!" Kennedy nodded, "So you will be recalled to the United States and be publicly tried by a military court."
"Public trial by a military court?" MacArthur was a little confused. What exactly did Kennedy want to do?
"You have to act like a hero in front of the people of the country." Kennedy said, "Even if you face the threat of the death penalty, you will never give in."
Death penalty! ? Is this going to kill me? MacArthur's eyes widened, and he was a little dazed as he looked at the president who was speaking so excitedly.
"Of course, the death penalty is impossible to execute. As the president, I have the power to execute you." Kennedy said his plan, "Then you will be able to enter politics under the expectation of the people of the country, participate in the Republican presidential primary and the 1949 general election. If nothing goes wrong, you will become the president of the United States in 1950, and then be re-elected for 8-12 years. You will become the Hindenburg President of the United States. Under your leadership, the United States will go through the most difficult times, and the US Armed Forces will recover and become a truly powerful army. The United States will also be great again under your leadership!"
In fact, Kennedy did not really think that MacArthur could lead the United States to rise again, just as Hindenburg could not bring Germany to a real rise.
But he believed that MacArthur could play the role of the soul of America after 1950. As a hero admired by thousands of people, he would gather together the American society that was torn apart by defeat and economic crisis. It would also allow the US Armed Forces to obtain enough resources and even lead the United States to develop an atomic bomb!
With a strong national defense force and the Manhattan Project being carried out secretly, the United States will be able to get rid of the shackles of the "Treaty of Rome" and rise again as a world power after the National Socialist Party of the United States takes power in the future.
"Okay, I'm willing to do anything for the greatness of America again." After realizing that he would become the president and a great hero of America, MacArthur certainly accepted the order with pleasure.
Now there are people to do the work of Seeckt and Hindenburg in the United States, and there are also several candidates for Hitler in the United States. Lindbergh of the National Fascist Party is one, and Kennedy's eldest son Joseph Kennedy Jr. will also join the reorganized National Socialist Party after recovering from his injury, and may have a chance to compete for the White House in the future!
However, there is no candidate for the Hersman Kennedy in the United States for the time being, so he set his sights on General Marshall, the outgoing Army Chief of Staff. Although Marshall, who is already in his sixties this year, cannot be the Hersman of the United States (when America becomes great again, he will be in his seventies or eighties, and may not be alive), he can still do some of the things that Hersman once did.
"George," Kennedy said, "I have something very, very important for the United States to ask you to do."
"President, just tell me what you need me to do." George Marshall did not mean to shirk his responsibility. The World War was almost lost under his leadership, and now of course he must do as much as possible to make up for his "fault".
"You go to Australia and serve as the chief military adviser to the government of the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand."
The United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand is the "Free Britain" led by George VI, but the "Free Britain" that fled to Australia with the support of the United States did not raise the British flag, but announced the establishment of the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand. This is equivalent to a disguised recognition that Queen Elizabeth II is the supreme monarch of the British Empire!
However, the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand will not admit that it is part of the "blackened" British Empire, and this country does not completely "belong" to the British. A large number of freedom fighters and people who love freedom and democracy from the United States and other parts of the world have flocked there, so the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand has become a free bastion against Nazis and fascism.
The Chief Military Advisor of the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand is the general representative of the US military stationed in the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand, and is also responsible for controlling the US military research institutions that have moved to the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand.
Including atomic bombs, jet aircraft, missiles and rockets, all projects that are not allowed or restricted (time limit) by the United States under the European Community-US Peace Treaty will be secretly studied in the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand.
The institutions responsible for researching these projects are under the jurisdiction of the Chief Military Advisor of the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand. At the same time, the funds provided by the US government to various secret weapons research institutions and the funds of the US Free Corps are also under the control of the Chief Military Advisor of the United Kingdom of Australia and New Zealand.
Kennedy said to Marshall: "Admiral, while the treaty has not been ratified yet, we have to move all projects that cannot be carried out in the United States to Australia... In this process, of course, there must be some choices. After all, in the future we will not have enough financial resources to maintain all projects, and you will be solely responsible for which projects to keep and which projects to cut."
"Okay, President, I will definitely keep the projects that the United States needs most." Marshall replied.
Most of the secret weapons projects in the United States are under the charge of the Army, that is, Marshall, the Army Chief of Staff. So he knows which projects should be cut, which projects can be kept in the United States, and which projects should be moved to Australia.
"Okay, then do it as soon as possible." Kennedy nodded heavily, and then looked at the three generals in front of him with burning eyes, "Gentlemen, let's rebuild America from now on! Although our generation may not see America's greatness again, our children will definitely see this day! Leaving them a strong America that can be revived is the responsibility of our generation."
...
"There are quite a few small moves!" Hitler said with a smile.
"Yes, the Americans are unwilling to fail!" Hersman is now sitting in the office of German Chancellor Hitler. He is here to report on the Atlantic ceasefire and the British army's recovery of Canada.
Although Americans do a lot of tricks, they are still very well-behaved on the Atlantic Ocean and in Canada. They began withdrawing their troops from Canada before the European Community-United States Peace Treaty came into effect. And they also allowed the European coalition forces under the banner of Yonoko to recapture Canadian cities one by one.
This kind of "recovery" was of course bloodless. After the liberal British troops withdrew, the Canadians had no intention of resisting the "British troops". And there is no need to resist - the European Community is also prepared to use 10% of the 800 billion Euro mark in US reparations to build Canada!
So by August 1945, almost all of Canada was "liberated".
While the United States conscientiously fulfills its treaty obligations, it also makes many "small moves." The first is to support the "freedom bastion" of Australia and New Zealand. The German intelligence agency is not a vegetarian, and those things cannot be hidden at all; the second is the "blackening" of the United States - for this trend, the German military and the Nazi Party In fact, it is welcome.
"The United States is on the right path," Hitler said with a smile after listening to Herschmann's report. "Their little moves in Australia and New Zealand are no threat to us. That is the Japanese's trouble... and we are very dangerous to Australia and New Zealand." No malice, not at all! It’s good to be away from the British Empire.”
Australia and New Zealand are beyond the reach of Germany, and a strong Australia and New Zealand cannot threaten Germany. Moreover, Australia and New Zealand's separation from the British Empire will not be harmful to Germany.
"As for the rise of fascism in the United States," Hitler shrugged and spread his hands, "That's right! This may be related to President Kennedy. It seems that he is our comrade!"
Nowadays, there are two trends in the United States: "blackening" and """, but no one, including Hitler and Hersman, took """ seriously. Because blackness is now the mainstream in the world and is not popular at all. Even the original country is now transforming into blackness - it has become a signboard, and everything inside is actually black!
Moreover, the United States itself does not have much of a "****" foundation. Instead, it has a "blackening" foundation. After all, the old-school Democratic Party itself is "black". Now that the New Dealers (progressives) have been excluded from the Democratic Party, only the Democratic Party is left. On the road to darkness.
