Capítulo 1537: Chapter 555: MacArthur’s Counterattack
Vaughn Beilich only now fully understood everything.
Why, even though it was President Herbert Hoover who ordered Douglas MacArthur to evict those veterans,
the dia ultimately placed most of the bla on Douglas MacArthur.
He also finally understood why Douglas MacArthur was so persistent in investigating Donnie Block.
Thinking about the head of a consortium in the United States actually clashing with the U.S. Army Chief of Staff,
and now the situation of this Chief of Staff is quite grim, Vaughn Beilich found it sowhat absurd.
“General, I understand what you an, I will investigate this matter thoroughly.
However, given the powerful influence of the person being investigated, I request that you, General, do sothing for !”
Douglas MacArthur said, “Speak.”
“I hope you, General, can ensure my family’s safety. I am absolutely loyal to you and am willing to sacrifice my life for your orders.
But I must consider my family!”
Vaughn Beilich said loudly.
He had already decided to accept the order from Douglas MacArthur.
The reason being that this was a high-stakes gamble, and Vaughn Beilich was willing to bet on it.
Because if he won this gamble, he would beco the most trusted person of Douglas MacArthur.
And he would hold significant power in the U.S. Army.
He might even beco the commander in so country where the U.S. has stationed troops, becoming a local power.
At that point, the internal competitions in the United States would have nothing to do with him!
Douglas MacArthur looked at Vaughn Beilich with satisfaction and said, “Very well, rest assured on this point. You can arrange for them to go to the Philippines, where I will introduce them to the local dignitaries. By then, they will definitely beco wealthy over there!”
Douglas MacArthur was well aware that to get a horse to run, you must feed it well.
Now that Vaughn Beilich was his asset, he naturally had to let him see the benefits of staying by his side.
It wasn’t just Vaughn Beilich, but many others who were watching closely.
In short, Vaughn Beilich was a banner that Douglas MacArthur had set up for himself!
“Furthermore, General, the security asures of Ares Military Industry are the most advanced I’ve ever seen.
The people the U.S. Army sent to Ares Military Industry could not obtain any useful information.
During this ti, the Security Bureau also sent people, infiltrating Ares Military Industry to investigate, only to… ”
Vaughn Beilich didn’t say what ultimately happened to these people, but Douglas MacArthur could imagine their fate.
“I don’t need to know what happened to those people; since I’ve given this task to you, all I need now is your result!”
Since Vaughn Beilich had already accepted the task, what followed was not sothing Douglas MacArthur needed to concern himself with.
He only focused on Vaughn Beilich’s final outco.
“Additionally, I must have the results of this investigation by the end of this year.”
Douglas MacArthur was very aware of how challenging the task was that he had given to Vaughn Beilich.
But he had no choice; since both sides had laid their cards on the table, Douglas MacArthur also knew that Donnie wouldn’t give him much ti.
Vaughn Beilich hesitated for a mont, then showed a wry smile, but soon his expression turned determined.
Since he had already chosen to board the ship, there was no option to disembark.
“I will exert my utmost effort to complete the task you have assigned , General!”
After Vaughn Beilich left, Douglas MacArthur did not place all his hopes on him alone.
Now, Donnie is using the massive dia network under Venus Bank to attack him.
Douglas MacArthur also needed to have dia coverage to voice his side.
In this matter, Douglas MacArthur did not have the resources Donnie Block did.
But that didn’t an there were no connections at all.
Soon, that sa evening, Douglas MacArthur awaited a Democratic Party senator at his ho.
Arnold ad!
Given his many years of service in the U.S. military, it was impossible for Douglas MacArthur not to have any political connections.
“Senator ad, let’s get straight to the point. I need the newspapers and dia controlled by the Democratic Party to voice my side!”
Even in his own ho, Douglas MacArthur maintained a proper and upright deanor.
Arnold ad showed a troubled expression and said, “General, can’t you sit down and have a good conversation with Donnie Block?
I believe any issue can be resolved through negotiation.
There’s no need to make things so tense!”
Douglas MacArthur waved his hand and said firmly, “I’ve already tried negotiating with Donnie Block, but his demands are things I simply cannot accept.
So, it can only be war!”
Arnold ad waved his hand and remarked, “Then perhaps you and he just didn’t negotiate the stakes properly!”
Continuing, Arnold ad said, “General, if you’re willing, I can diate the issues between you and Mr. Block!”
Douglas MacArthur waved his hand and said forcefully, “No need. Since Donnie Block has declared war on , I must respond. What I need now is the support of your Democratic Party.
If you can support , then during this year’s end U.S. election, the U.S. Army will also support your Democratic Party!”
Arnold ad imdiately showed an expression of interest.
In reality, during the U.S. election, military support wouldn’t be a decisive factor.
But having that support was certainly better than not having it.
More importantly, with the international situation remaining unstable, no one could guarantee that a war might not break out in the future.
At that ti, the support of the U.S. Army would be particularly important.
Even if the Democratic Party lost this ti, it would still be useful for the next.
“General, I’ll need to discuss this matter with others thoroughly.”
Arnold ad was no longer as resistant to supporting Douglas MacArthur as before.
Douglas MacArthur nodded and said, “Senator, I know there are so people within your Democratic Party who have a good relationship with Donnie Block.
Both sides even have business dealings.
But Donnie Block is a Republican, after all, and Herbert Hoover is steadfastly a supporter of capital industries.
By the end of the year, Donnie Block will undoubtedly fully support Herbert Hoover!”
Douglas MacArthur spoke seriously to Arnold ad.
In fact, on another tiline, Douglas MacArthur’s political inclination leaned more towards the Republican Party.
The competition between him and Truman was essentially a contest between the Democratic and Republican parties.
Otherwise, Douglas MacArthur wouldn’t have been appointed as the United States Army Chief of Staff by Herbert Hoover!
But the situation was different now, and Douglas MacArthur felt betrayed by Herbert Hoover over the veteran eviction issue.
Herbert Hoover was firmly on Donnie Block’s side.
Therefore, Douglas MacArthur began to seek favor with the Democratic Party.
As long as he received the Democratic Party’s support,
Douglas MacArthur believed he could still compete with Donnie!
Arnold ad didn’t comnt on Douglas MacArthur’s words!
Certainly, as the United States Army Chief of Staff, Douglas MacArthur held a high rank and authority in the U.S.
But in truth, Arnold ad did not genuinely esteem Douglas MacArthur.
In the eyes of a pure politician like Arnold ad, professional soldiers like Douglas MacArthur were seen as uncouth.
In any situation, their first thought was conflict.
They view everything as black or white!
They simply don’t understand that politics is the art of mutual compromise and completion.
But there was no need for him to explain this to Douglas MacArthur. Pulling Douglas MacArthur into the Democratic camp through this matter was also a worthwhile endeavor!
