Or, Mark Company Employee; or, Neon Genesis Evangelion.
They were dressed in brand new uniforms, lined up in neat rows, chins held high with pride, standing motionless in the misty rain, waiting;
It wasn't until that familiar, slender figure appeared on the podium that they became solemn, then burst into excited shouts:
"Field! Field! Field!"
It wasn't that the veterans didn't want to shout "SSR" or other "holy titles," but because Haruta said she was their equal and didn't allow them to shout, they had no choice but to obey;
However, when Chuntian was addressed by his name, the respect and love he showed became even more obvious, causing many celebrities attending the meeting to feel a little uneasy.
Especially the Holy See and Germany.
Needless to say, the Vatican, despite having to send Cardinal Basil to attend Springfield's inauguration, did not disappear its hostility towards Springfield, but became even more intense.
Now, seeing their enemies being so beloved and welcomed, how could they not be angry and panic?
The German side is understandable. It's horrible.
This kind of popularity.
My SA wasn't so fanatical and devout towards Hitler and me!
How on earth did this woman do it!
Rohm made up his mind that he would go to Springfield to learn from him after the inauguration ceremony.
Because Hitler believed that Springfield was planning to develop the same "National Socialism" as he did, and there must be a lot of room for cooperation between the two sides.
Amidst the complicated gazes of the crowd, Springfield, wearing his iconic military uniform and even carrying the M1903 rifle, walked up to the podium leisurely and gave everyone a sweet, gentle and generous smile.
I have to say that beautiful women really have a survival advantage.
Just with this smile, the haze in the sky seemed to be dispelled, and many people who had opinions about Springfield had to admit that this man's face alone was enough to conquer half of America.
What's more, this woman, who is probably the most beautiful woman in human history, has more than just a face.
"Gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, compatriots, friends." Chuntian spoke softly, but his voice instantly spread throughout the audience:
"Today is my presidential inauguration. Before the ceremony officially begins, I would like to ask everyone to bow their heads and observe a moment of silence with me..."
what?
A moment of silence? A moment of silence for what?
"...a minute of silence for the American and Cuban people who were killed and injured in this hurricane, as well as for the tragic victims of previous disasters."
This opening was too "special". Not to mention others, even Roosevelt, who had read the speech, almost didn't react at first and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Our Saint Lady sometimes behaves in a rather eccentric way.
But in short, since the President said so, whether they like it or not, no one would be stupid enough to stand out in such an occasion, and they all bowed their heads in silence.
A minute later, Haruta looked up first, a gentle smile returning to her face, but her words seemed somewhat casual:
"You might be wondering why I, as the President of the United States, would observe a moment of silence for the people of Cuba, a country that doesn't belong to the United States."
"Because I have been trying to find a way, a way that can make not only the American people happy, but also the people of the world happy together;"
"That is the theme of my inaugural address today: America's greatness should not be limited to economic and military greatness, it should be a beacon to the world."
The British Prime Minister frowned, feeling that these words were very harsh and uncomfortable, while the Soviets narrowed their eyes sharply!
In Ms. Field's plan, the United States seems to not only want to challenge Britain's hegemony and become the new hegemon, but also has a greater mission!
"...Some time ago, I met two children from Cuba. Their name was Castro. They told me that the Cuban people were suffering and they wanted me to become the president of Cuba..."
Two little children in front of the Cuban radio pricked up their ears, and their father endured it again and again, but ultimately did not slap them on the head.
"...I told them that I would be the president of the United States and that I had to serve the American people first, so I couldn't take care of the Cuban people for the time being, but that didn't mean I had forgotten about them;"
"...in the Great Depression that has lasted since 1929, it is not just our own people in the United States who have suffered unbearable pain. People around the world have suffered as well...in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, China..."
"I have deep sympathy not only for the people of my country, but also for people around the world who are suffering the same hardships. I feel pain and anxiety for their experiences. This is something that neither God nor I want to see..."
"On this point, I want to express my respect for the Soviet Union's achievements in exploration and construction. Although there were some disasters such as famine, the country did not experience major unrest and even achieved economic growth..."
Regardless of what others thought, the corners of Molotov and Litvinov's mouths twitched.
The new president of the United States is really unique in the way he speaks and acts!
Why?
etc?
She expressed respect for the Soviet Union on this occasion, but also specifically mentioned the Ukrainian famine. Is she hinting at something?
Or is it true, as the outside world has said, that this Saint Lady is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see anyone suffering, so she's using this opportunity to "put pressure" on the Soviet Union?
It's possible!
Otherwise, what about the food aid program to the Soviet Union?
"The United States is undoubtedly a powerful country, and is undoubtedly blessed by God. It is the chosen nation among the chosen nations..."
Hearing this, the Americans in the audience puffed out their chests.
Even if we encounter a great depression, even if we encounter so many difficulties, don’t we still have the Holy Maiden from Heaven?
Others sighed inwardly.
The United States is indeed God's chosen country. This place is so good, so good that other countries are jealous. Now it has such a popular president. As long as it does not make any fundamental mistakes, its future is limitless.
"...But as I accompanied my adoptive father on his tours across the United States, I gradually began to question whether the United States today is truly qualified and capable of seizing this chosen land."
Um??? ?
"If we truly have the ability to grasp it, then why was I abandoned at birth? Why are there still so many poor people who can't get enough food? Why are veterans who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the country being suppressed by the state?"
"We have such great resources and abundant products, so why are we still experiencing a great depression? Why are so many poor children starving to death?"
When Springfield's words evoked memories of the disasters during the Great Depression, many ordinary audience members and veterans in the audience couldn't help sobbing, but as soon as these words came out, some of the old men in the audience began to tremble.
It's obvious that Her Highness's words are directed at...
"I once came across an old Chinese saying, 'If virtue doesn't match your position, disaster will surely befall you.' It means that if our morality and abilities don't match our circumstances, disaster will surely befall us..."
After briefly explaining some "rare knowledge," Haruta sighed regretfully:
"It is clear that at present, our virtues cannot match what we have. We are only temporarily occupying this fertile land. If we do not change, sooner or later we will lose everything, and the people will face even greater disasters..."
Some people were a little dissatisfied, but since this was the Saint President's conclusion, no one could refute it. Other Springfield believers nodded frequently, but couldn't help but feel worried:
If so, what should we do?
"...Some might say, wouldn't it be better if each of us worked hard to improve our morals and live a more restrained life? From that perspective, the Great Depression might even have its benefits!"
Springfield's ridicule forced some gentlemen who shared similar ideas with Hoover to lower their heads to block out the probing, scrutinizing and mocking eyes.
"Unfortunately, people are not animals. They cannot eat rotten food without resentment, nor can they practice morality while hungry. In ancient China, this is called 'Only when the granaries are full can one learn etiquette'..."
Putting aside the fact that Haruta repeatedly quoted ancient Chinese sayings in her speech, which later sparked a wave of "China fever," at this point in her speech, she finally made her point:
“Engels once said that even the poorest patriot in the East End of London could not help but puff out his chest when he thought of Britain’s wealth and industry;”
"However, the people will eventually discover that such wealth has nothing to do with them, and eventually this resentment will accumulate into a raging fire of anger, burning themselves and everything in the world..."
"I have carefully studied the construction experience of all major countries in the world and confirmed one thing:"
"Whether it's capitalism, socialism, or feudalism, it's just a name. Ensuring that the people live a good life is the greatest justice! The best doctrine! So!"
Haruta raised his voice:
“So, America must make changes!”
"Therefore, the United States must seriously examine its own flaws and shortcomings!"
"Therefore, the United States must put aside its pride and vigilance, be inclusive and learn everything worth learning!"
"As long as its policies and methods are conducive to the happiness of all American people and the true greatness of America, we must learn from them!"
These words did not cause much commotion.
In fact, not only did the policies proposed by Springfield after consolidating his position have a distinct "socialist flavor," but Roosevelt and others, persuaded by Springfield, also emphasized the same point in their discussions with various parties over the past few months:
Study, study hard, use Marxist socialism and other things as tools to learn, and read "Das Kapital" seriously.
What? You don't accept it?
It doesn't matter. If you can't abandon your prejudice, stubbornness and inflexibility, then we will abandon you.
If you have the guts, just resist!
Ms. Field is probably eager for you to resist.
"America is already great, but in my eyes, it's not great enough!"
"A truly great America should have the courage to admit its mistakes and faults, constantly improve itself, and become stronger and more confident through repeated changes!"
"When we are strong, we should not forget that there are other people in the world who are suffering. We should do our best to help them live a happy life together!"
"This is a virtue that even God would praise!"
"The America of my dreams should be a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, and harmonious country!"
"The American society I dream of should be a society of 'freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law'!"
"The American citizens of my dream should be patriotic, dedicated, honest, and friendly!"
“Only in this way can Americans one day raise their heads with pride and tell the world:”
“Our morality is the morality of all mankind;” “Our values are the values of all mankind;” “The direction we are heading is the direction of all mankind!”
"Only in this way can the United States become a shining beacon in the long river of human history, leading all of humanity toward the universe and the future!"
404 Assassination and Destruction
“....Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa....”
After a brief silence, warm applause broke out in the audience, and almost everyone had an excited expression on their face.
At least more than 90% of Americans do this.
The concept of "world lighthouse" proposed by Springfield is so great and appealing.
In fact, before the Soviet Union became the country that could provide a steady stream of the "Cambridge Five" with their own food, the whole world was very confused, especially at the elite level.
Humanity has developed to this point, and all its achievements are so great and different compared to the past. But where should we go next?
Marx had indeed pointed out a direction and had indeed attracted many people, but apart from the Soviet Union, which was still weak in the eyes of mainstream countries (at least Britain and France looked down on the Soviet Union's national strength at that time), there was nothing else.
For example, Mr. Fred Koch, who was deceived by Fujiwara Kanezane to build an oil plant in Japan, was an elite who had worked in the Soviet Union for a long time but was quite skeptical of the Soviet system.
However, almost all mainstream capitalist countries have felt that capitalism itself has serious problems, which makes them unable to believe deep down that capitalism is the future.
(The hard part is that pure capitalism, abandoned by capitalist countries, was picked up again by President Milley decades later – we still can’t repay his kindness (dog head))
Therefore, many Americans who have thought about the future of mankind still have not found their direction and do not know what role the United States should play in the world.
But now, Springfield proposed:
The United States should abandon its meaningless ideological disputes, treat all "XXisms" as tools, and return all starting points to "the people";
As long as it is beneficial to the country, society, the people, and the development of all mankind, then we should learn, do, and change it;
This is very much in line with Springfield's core supporters' thinking. Most importantly, her words secretly cater to the savior mentality of the United States, which has always been isolationist and believes that it is the chosen nation:
We are great, but while being great, we can become even greater and more confident, becoming a beacon to the world and a guiding light for human progress.
(Think about the treatment of lecturers in the United States who don't even drive away rednecks, and you can probably understand the American mentality. What Mark wants to do now is to amplify and "distort" this.)
(Of course, I think the US government would not give such a good treatment to the lecturer for free. They would definitely make full use of it, such as for political reasons or to conduct human experiments.)
How to do it?
Well, Ms. Field has the answer!
As for the obstacles encountered in this process...haha.
Original...Neon Genesis Evangelion, start!
The people who reacted most strongly to Springfield's speech were not the "potential obstacles" in capitalist society, but several people on the Soviet side.
As comrades who were well-versed in Marxism-Leninism, they immediately heard the problem here and vaguely felt that Springfield seemed to be intending to reshape the United States and use another means to fight communism.
But the Soviets could not find any major faults in Springfield's few words, and on the contrary, they had to agree with the views put forward by Springfield.
This makes people feel very uncomfortable, as if they were slapped in the face with their own weapons.
