Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 237: Grand Marshal (Part 2)
Subtitle of this chapter: Marshal's Third Company!
For love, what does 404 matter?
In the 21st century, modern women are calling for love, or having abortions...
"Of course, Brigadier General is just your current rank..."
Our Master Yuan pointed to MacArthur's star 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 again and said, "So what does this house mean to Louis, since he can meet a hero with a promising future like you?"
"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 regarded as her membership fee. And the benefits she will enjoy in the future are more than just this house."
"Ni'ao is right." The hostess jumped out to explain: "My 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 good, and his physique is also relatively... that strong. Maybe..."
After all, he really loves this billionaire lady. With his status as a brigadier general in the army and his looks, he can marry any woman. Otherwise, why would he marry a second-married woman with a bad reputation and three burdens?
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, considered his words and said, "Maybe he has some special abilities. But..."
"My dear, you haven't seen his 'special ability'." Ms. Brooks begged Master Yuan: "Niaoao, please let Douglas see your 'special ability'."
I came here to be a master, how come I became a "master"? It's all because of this broken system...
"Master Ball, how many S points do I have now?"
"Host, your current S value is 66%."
Because the serious illness drama he played a few days ago was quite "exaggerated", not only did His Majesty the "Prince of Lies" Cyric 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 smiled slightly, turned to look at MacArthur who looked disdainful, and said, "Mr. Brigadier General, are you ready?"
Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur took out his corn pipe from his mouth, sneered and asked, "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 good day, why are you still in a daze?..."
"Wait, wait, wait, Dr. Yuan." MacArthur, who was 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 luxurious room full of Southeast Asian style.
"Where am I?"
"Where is it? You are in the Philippines. 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. President Manuel Luis Quezon is about to confer the rank of marshal on you. I came all the way from Los Angeles to attend this ceremony. You'd better change your clothes quickly, because the ceremony is about to begin..."
So the dizzy 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 next to him again...
"Hurry up, my five-star admiral, the ceremony is about to begin!"
Hey, how come I became a five-star general again? !
When he heard the voice and looked, he saw that Dr. Yuan, who looked a little more mature, was wearing a U.S. military officer's dress uniform, but without shoulder straps. In other words, this Chinese man did not officially join the U.S. military, but served in the U.S. military in some way.
MacArthur swallowed his saliva and glanced around again, and found that he was definitely not in the Philippine Presidential Palace. This corridor was very simple compared to the gorgeous reception room just now.
Both sides of the corridor were lined with American 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 around and looked at him in surprise, "This is the Brisbane U.S. Army Headquarters in Australia. By the way... I remember you also asked me this question when you became the Grand Marshal of the Philippines last time."
"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 are major generals, and three stars are lieutenant generals. Note that before World War II, the highest military rank in non-wartime was only lieutenant general.
The four-star general awarded during wartime is not the rank of marshal, but the highest-ranking general - general.
The "General of the Armies of the United States" in Washington is equivalent to the Supreme Commander of Nazi Germany and the Marshal of the Soviet Union. Of course, only the mustache and the iron man have such an honorary title.
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's military services.
Dr. Yuan explained with a smile: "Because you won the battle to defend 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 enemy is 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 Great Japanese Empire, 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. He thought that he had praised the Axis powers too much and might have changed the style of this plane into "The Man in the High Castle" or the British TV series "SS Britain".
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 "Defender of Australia" 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 opened the door for him personally, stepped aside, raised his hand and said, "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!
