The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 237: Grand Marshal (Part 2)
Subtitle of this chapter: Marshal's Third Company!
For love, what does 404 mean?
Modern women in the 21st century are making calls or having abortions for the sake of love...
"Of course, Brigadier General is just your current rank..."
Our Master Yuan pointed to MacArthur's star-shaped shoulder strap and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Brigadier General, your future is limitless. This is not your end but your starting point. I think you think so too..."
He pointed to the roof and said, "So if Louis can meet a promising hero like you, what does this house mean to him?"
"Besides..." He pointed at the hostess and said, "Ms. Brooks is an important member of our SCP Foundation—the Queen of Pentacles. This house can be considered her admission fee. And the benefits she will enjoy in the future are far more than just this house."
"Niao is right." The hostess jumped out to explain: "Dear, I am very grateful for your concern. But you don't understand the magic of Dr. Yuan. He is really amazing!"
"What's so magical about it?" MacArthur frowned and said, "I admit that Dr. Yuan's novels are very interesting, and his physique is also quite... that strong. Perhaps..."
After all, he truly loved this billionaire woman. With his status as a Brigadier General and his looks, he could marry any woman. Otherwise, why would he marry a second-married woman with a bad reputation and three children?
So MacArthur didn't want to offend his lover, so he didn't say anything about playing tricks, swindling, Chaoyang Rinpoche, or Upper East Side Rasputin...
He paused, carefully considered his words, and said, "Maybe he has some special abilities. But..."
"My dear, you haven't seen his 'special ability' yet." Ms. Brooks pleaded with Master Yuan: "Nai, please let Douglas see your 'special ability'."
I clearly traveled here to be a master, so how did I become a "master" after all this trouble? It all comes down to this broken system...
"Master Ball, what's my S value now?"
"Host, your current S value is 66%."
Because the serious illness drama he played a few days ago was quite "Insults", not only did His Majesty the "Prince of Lies" Xirik like this kind of deception very much, even Her Majesty the "Queen of the Night" Shar gave him a big thumbs up, so a lot of S points were deducted.
And this S value can allow him to die a moderate death.
"Okay then." Yuan Yan suddenly smiled and turned to look at MacArthur, who looked disdainful. "Mr. Brigadier General, are you ready?"
Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur took out his corn pipe and asked with a sneer, "Dr. Yuan, what preparations do I need to make?"
Our Master Yuan stared into his eyes and said calmly, "You need to prepare..."
"You need to prepare for your investiture ceremony! My Lord Marshal, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
He noticed that Dr. Yuan's face suddenly became more mature, and he suddenly changed into a tuxedo.
Dr. Yuan looked at him in shock, and hurriedly urged, "My Lord Marshal, today is your lucky day, why are you still in a daze?..."
"Wait, wait, wait, Dr. Yuan." MacArthur, completely confused about the situation, shook his head and looked around, and found that he was not in a mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York, but in a Chinese room full of Southeast Asian style.
"Where am I?"
"Where is it? You're in the Philippines, and this is the Presidential Palace in Manila."
"The Philippines?! How did I end up in the Philippines?"
"Damn it! Douglas, don't scare me. You came to the Philippines as the chief military adviser in 1935."
"1935? What year is it now?"
"What year?! It's 1936, and President Manuel Luis Quezon is about to confer the rank of Marshal on you. I came all the way from Los Angeles just to attend this ceremony. You'd better change your clothes quickly, because the ceremony is about to begin..."
So the dazed MacArthur changed into the marshal's uniform hanging on the side and was pulled out of the room by Dr. Yuan.
The direct sunlight from the corridor made his eyes dazzled, and he heard the urging voice of the Chinese man next to him again...
"Hurry up, my Excellency the Five-Star Admiral, the ceremony is about to begin!"
Hey, how did I become a five-star general again? !
He looked over and saw that Dr. Yuan, who looked a bit more mature, was wearing a US Army general's uniform, but without epaulettes. This meant that this Chinese man had not officially joined the US military, but was serving in some way.
MacArthur swallowed his saliva and glanced around again, realizing that he was definitely not in the Philippine Presidential Palace. This corridor looked much simpler than the magnificent reception room he had just visited.
Both sides of the corridor were lined with American military officers and soldiers in neat uniforms. When they saw the two of them appear, they immediately raised their hands and saluted.
He calmed himself down, turned around and asked quietly, "Dr. Yuan, where am I now?"
"No way, again?" The Chinese man turned and looked at him in surprise. "This is the U.S. Army Headquarters in Brisbane . Oh, and I remember you asked me the same question the last time you became the Grand Marshal of the Philippines."
"Australia?! Brisbane?! So what time is it now..."
"1946, my five-star general, it is 1946."
In fact, according to the general officer system of the American Royal Army, one star is a brigadier general, two stars is a major general, and three stars is a lieutenant general. Note that before World War II, the highest rank in peacetime was only lieutenant general.
The four-star general awarded during wartime is not the rank of marshal, but the highest- ranking general - general.
Washington's "General of the Armies of the United States" is equivalent to the Supreme Commander of Nazi Germany and the Field Marshal of the Soviet Union. Of course, only the mustache and the iron uncle hold such honors.
Pershing's title of "General of the Armies" could be considered the highest military rank in other countries, such as the Imperial Marshal of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Marshal of the Soviet Red Army.
Therefore, the five-star general, one level lower than this "special general", is equivalent to the army, navy and air force marshals of Nazi Germany and the chief commanders of the Russian Red Army.
Dr. Yuan explained with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Because you won the Battle of Australia, President Roosevelt awarded you a five-star general. And I came all the way from China this time..."
"Wait, Dr. Yuan. Our enemy is..."
"Damn it! Damn it!! Douglas. Of course our enemies are the Japanese!"
In the original timeline, MacArthur, who became a five-star general at the end of 1944, certainly didn't know this, because the old friend of the Japanese people in front of him was so supportive of the Empire of Japan, the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the Japanese Marine Corps.
So in 1946 on this timeline, not only did Japan not surrender, it was even still on the offensive strategically.
Of course, the situation in Europe was also completely changed by him...
Dr. Yuan, a layman in military affairs, felt a little regretful, wondering if he had been too overly supportive of the Axis powers. He might have really changed the style of this dimension into "The Man in the High Castle" or the British TV series "British SS".
Therefore, this Battle of Australia, which did not happen, became a rare bright spot for the American Royal Army and even the entire Allied Forces so far, and was naturally exaggerated by the Americans.
Of course, our Master Yuan did not forget to extend the life of his old friend FDR for a few more years, allowing him to live until 1946.
The "Australian Defender" who successfully defended the lair of the bald bandits was awarded the rank of five-star general by President Roosevelt..
The two of them finally reached the end of the corridor. Dr. Yuan personally opened the door for him, stepped aside, and gestured, "Please come in, my Lord Marshal..."
MacArthur, not noticing that the Chinese had changed their name again, took a deep breath and stepped over the threshold.
This time, as soon as he walked out the door, he heard thunderous cheers.
However, this cheer was extremely unfamiliar to him, and the scene before him made him even more horrified!
