20 fifty-year-old lieutenant colonel

The official level crushed people to death, not to mention the huge gap between him and MacArthur.

So now, he has to be one of the executors, but it is really not what he wants.

Because his expression is indestructible.

And just when he thought he was going to be nailed to the pillar of shame, a man found him.

Edgar Hoover, now in high power, said to the major, "David, there is a tribute to you. ”

David. Eisenhower...

"His Excellency Charlie saw this picture. Mr. Franklin, having learned about your past through me, understood your powerlessness, and they decided to clear your name before you were infamy. ”

Looking at Edgar Hoover, who looked a little like himself, Eisenhower suddenly understood.

What kind of red incident that MacArthur is talking about, what kind of veteran violence.

The biggest betrayer in the sky over Washington was right in front of him.

Maybe the self-righteous idiot of the Army Chief of Staff knew about it, but he couldn't do anything about him, even Clarke!

It's totally Hoover VS Hoover.

He was silent, not knowing how to speak.

From the bottom of his heart, he was still a major after 18 years in the army, but his discipline told him that this was not good.

In particular, if he is not done well, he will become a traitor to the army.

"We're going to withhold your name, downplay you completely, and only attack the mentally retarded." Hoover said.

This sentence made Eisenhower look up in surprise.

Edgar smiled and nodded at him: "We won't embarrass you, that's respect, Lord Charlie said, he really hopes that the new generation of officers in the American army he personally helped to create will be like you." ”

After he left, Eisenhower looked at the numbers of the military bigwig James and others, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Yes, Charlie made a move, and Franklin should win the White House.

Clark, who played a bad card, will step down, and MacArthur, who was targeted by Charlie, is also destined to end badly.

And he, his fate will usher in a turning point!

He was stationed in the Panama Canal Zone in 1922 as a lieutenant.

A junior officer in his thirties who mingled among the GIs.

He had witnessed Ergouzi in Panama, and he also listened to his first mentor, the brigade commander General Connor, for Ergouzi's sweep across South America.

At that time, he could only look up to that guy, but now, his messenger has come into his life.

What touched him the most was that he just had to lie down, and no one needed him to do anything!

Poor Eisenhower didn't sleep well that night!

Edgar, who had left him, went to see Marshall again.

Marshall was not from West Point, he graduated from Virginia.

But his mentor was.

His mentor's name was Joseph. Pershing.

General Pershing was the commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I.

As a disciple of James, he was highly regarded in military circles.

But Pershing, who was born in 1860, was now retired, so Marshall was ostracized, and he was even transferred to the National Guard as a lieutenant colonel.

Compared with him, MacArthur, who is also 50 years old, is already a dignified chief of staff of the US Army.

This upset Pershing, who believed in his talent, and he mobilized his forces to find James, the former chairman of the military committee.

As a result, James made him wait.

And this wait was half a year, until a few days ago Pershing accepted the old chief's request to let Marshall come to Washington.

He had no choice but to do so, but he didn't know what would happen next.

It's strange to say.

Marshall, for example, and Eisenhower were just one of the many people who did nothing during this year.

What makes them stand out is naturally their own ability and the times and events.

When they get the chance, they rise to the top.

Then they will run over the people who came before them.

For example, MacArthur, who came out early, was not the opponent of these two at all in the later period, especially Eisenhower even became president, and MacArthur only "got fame".

But before that, Marshall, like Eisenhower, was in great pain.

He was fifty years old, a special lieutenant colonel officer at fifty, and he was transferred to serve in the National Guard, which was traditionally the equivalent of banishing him from the subsequent promotion ladder.

Like a 20-year-old man, he had to go to his dying commander and ask him to take care of him again.

It's like a middle-aged man who is fifty years old and has nothing to do, and he is still gnawing at his old age, which makes people feel ashamed and makes outsiders feel disdainful.

This is a real shame for any man with a sense of shame.

He even began to doubt his abilities.

Isn't it? If you really have the ability, how can you be so coquettish?

But now, here comes Edgar.

No letterhead, nothing else, just his verbal communication.

He hugged Pershing, who had come to greet him personally, and said in a loud voice: "I can't do it, old general." ”

Then he smiled at Marshall.

When he sat down, he got straight to the point: "General Pershing, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Franklin is deeply indignant at what happened to Mr. Marshall, he thinks that it is a serious loss for the army for a man of insight like you to leave the right track, so he has mobilized his forces and will help you return to Washington in the near future, if nothing else, the lieutenant colonel will not leave this time." ”

Pershing was also quite straightforward, and said: "Edgar, we are not outsiders, I have fought with His Excellency Charles, and I have enjoyed European compliments in his place at the Arc de Triomphe, so tell me how Your Excellency Charles is going to arrange for my Marshall instead of Franklin." ”

"If it weren't for the fear that you would quarrel with him, Charlie would even have to invite Marshall to Wakanda as the principal of the military academy and command his front-line troops to become the only successor to Commander Semyon." Edgar said.

Marshall!!! How can I be so strong?

But I don't know.

Could it be that the whole world was blind before?

Pershing smiled bitterly: "How is it possible. ”

"What I'm saying is true, before you and James said about it, Charlie was paying attention to two people, one was Marshall, who served in Panama, because he noticed him many years ago, Marshall went to the jungle military academy in the free trade zone for exchange, do you remember?"

"Yes. Charlie's military academy, the cradle of Wakanda's strong army. Marshall was in his prime.

"Your former brigade commander, General Connor, is retiring in the Delta, and he often talks to Charlie about you, and he thinks that with Semyon on his way to the Wakanda Ministry of Defense, Eva should remarry you."

Two people opposite...

"Is that true?" Pershing said to Marshall: "Then you are still an ink fart, change your nationality." Where there is a future here, there is a future over there. ”

Edgar burst out laughing: "General Pershing, you can't do this, you have to listen to him." ”
