1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

In other words, after MacArthur's betrayal, Ms. Field not only did not intend to completely abolish the Army as she had discussed privately, but instead gave him even more power!

What is she thinking?

Is she really not afraid of rebellion from her subordinates by delegating so much power? No, she is definitely not afraid, but what about others? What about the successor president?

Can the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense alone control the ever-expanding military power?

For those who have their own ulterior motives, expanding power will certainly develop, but some generals who truly care about the country will feel worried about this and only bring it up in front of so many people.

Just as they were wondering whether to go back and study the document carefully or find an opportunity to make suggestions to Ms. Field, the new reform plan was read out:

"The final reform is the political reform of the U.S. armed forces."

Political...system reform?

What does this mean?

"...The rebellion by MacArthur, Sims, and others has caused severe psychological harm to me, the officers and soldiers of various units who were deceived or coerced into participating in the rebellion, and the people of this country. The lesson is truly painful!"

"A coup by politicians is nothing more than a few scoundrels causing minor rebellion, but if the military gets involved, the destructive power will increase hundreds or even thousands of times! We must be extremely vigilant!"

Everyone's skin, which had just relaxed, suddenly tightened again because of Chuntian's words. As expected, they knew that women were petty and would not let this matter go.

"The root cause of this rebellion is that the souls of soldiers and officers have been corrupted by heresy. They don't know who they are fighting for or why they are fighting. That's why they were easily deceived by MacArthur and others and participated in this shameful rebellion!"

"Therefore, the military needs a sound political system to educate the soldiers' minds! Ensure that the military's loyalty to the country and the people permeates every cell! Ensure absolute obedience to the federal central government, which is endowed with sacred power by God and the people!"

"!! !"

At this point, everyone knows what's coming next:

God's people religion!

God's People's Party!Neon Genesis Evangelion!

That's Lady Field's personal guard!

"...there is a unit that has proven its integrity, bravery, and loyalty throughout its history! They can serve as a role model for all soldiers across the United States!"

Haruta looked toward the NGWs standing around the venue and raised his voice, "They are the best promoters of spreading God's gospel, carrying out my will, and creating a beautiful future for all mankind! Neon Genesis Evangelion! NGW!"

"I have decided that the NGW will serve as the core and soul of the entire U.S. armed forces, stationed in every unit and fully integrated into every corner of the three major services, the navy, the army, and the air force, and all military units;"

"Beginning with platoon-level combat units, we will establish 'political instructors' who are independent of the military commander and have the authority to conduct political education and political review of all soldiers in their units."

"Its main tasks are to build the troops' ideology and beliefs, build their organization and maintain discipline, conduct political review of soldiers, coordinate with the military commander in combat, and have the right to make recommendations, report, and vote on personnel promotions, appointments, transfers, honors, and disciplinary actions..."

"The original system of chaplains accompanying the army and navy was thoroughly reformed and integrated. Chaplains were incorporated into the political education system and were required to receive theological training from the 'God's People's Church' and pass the assessment before they could continue to serve.

"This system applies to the active and reserve forces of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the National Guard and Boy Scouts, all military academies and training bases, and equipment research and development institutions..."

hiss...

After Haruta calmly introduced the main points of this reform, the senior officers gasped and even felt a suffocating dizziness. With their knowledge, they could certainly see what Haruta was trying to do:

If this system is implemented, the "military chief officer responsibility system" will be completely vulnerable in the face of the "personnel suggestion, reporting and voting rights" enjoyed by political instructors!

A naval captain might have commanded a more important warship, an army regiment commander might have been promoted to division commander, but in the end, they could be completely ruined because of a single sentence in the file of a young NGW!

If this continues, who would dare to look down on this "political instructor" next to them? Who would dare to be disloyal?

Even if they let out a hint of their hidden agenda, the "political instructor" below would lead a group of soldiers to tear the military commander to pieces without Ms. Field taking action!

Forget about the military’s “independent kingdom”!

Most importantly, the vast majority of soldiers already respected Springfield enough. If this were the case, every army unit would likely be firmly under Springfield's control. Any officer—even one as prestigious as Pershing or Butler—would be nothing more than a tool of her will!

No wonder she's not afraid of delegating power, and no wonder this reform was discussed last. This way, it's no longer just Haruta's personal prestige that firmly controls the military, but the organizational role of the NGW!

What is NGW?

The "Knights Templar" who defend Springfield and the "Church of God"!

As for the relationship between the God's People's Church and the God's People's Party, there's no need to elaborate further, right?

Therefore, there will no longer be any "U.S. Army," "U.S. Navy," "U.S. Air Force," or "U.S. National Guard."

There are only "Knights Templar" who are completely loyal to Springfield and completely controlled by NGW, the Church of God and the Party of God!

The party is militarized!

This is a thorough, naked, and unprecedented militarization of the Party!

Many people subconsciously wanted to stand up and oppose it, because in the United States, political parties are strictly prohibited from interfering in the operation of the military, but almost at the same time, they gave up this idea.

It's not just because they don't dare - MacArthur's demise, Pershing's withdrawal, Sims's "heart attack", Stanley and Sellers' dismal departures, the disintegration of states' rights... all of these are like invisible nooses, strangling any possible dissent;

More importantly, Springfield's genuine saintly halo and the contributions she represented to the "God's People Church/Party/NGW," which had begun to show results on the ruins of the Great Depression, made it difficult for opponents to find a strong moral and practical foundation.

Who will the soldiers support?

Who will the general public support? It goes without saying.

Once all these military reform measures are implemented and the "political instructor system" is fully established, there will no longer be any "Democrats and Republicans taking turns in power" in the United States. There will only be one party, one leader, and one will!

At this moment, senior officers of the U.S. Navy and Army suddenly realized that Springfield's layout over the past year or so, which was mainly aimed at the political and civilian circles, had eventually turned into shackles for the military. The military with shackles would in turn suppress all non-military resistance.

So, she didn't touch the military initially just to lull us into thinking she was focusing all her energy on politics and avoid excessive collusion with politicians...

It's terrible, really terrible.

This woman's thoughts are so deep.

Yes, Springfield's behavior was undoubtedly a flagrant violation of personal freedom and the professional spirit of the military. Some officers who had contact with the Soviet Union even thought of the word "political commissar";

However, no one dared to raise any objection.

At this point, even if Springfield wanted to practice communism, no one could stop her.

Chuntian's gaze slowly swept across the faces in the audience, filled with shock, anger, resentment, fear, thought, and even a hint of fanaticism, finally landing on Butler's resolute face.

"Major General Butler!" "In!"

Following Chuntian's words, Butler stepped forward, standing like a javelin:

"Please give your orders, Mr. President!"

"As the President of the United States, I formally promote you, Smedley Darlington Butler, to the rank of Lieutenant General..."

This... is he a lieutenant general?

It's a bit too fast to advance!

Although Butler's promotion was within everyone's expectations, and everyone knew that this was the reward Butler deserved, many people were still jealous to the point of having distorted expressions.

You have to know that this guy has no family background or connections. In peacetime, he can become a lieutenant general. Even a young master like MacArthur would have to find a loophole to do so! (referring to "official general")

However, who's to say Butler shouldn't have been promoted?

It is no exaggeration to say that his act of enduring humiliation, lurking in the "Free American Alliance" to collect intelligence and inform at the right time saved the entire federal government and the entire US military!

If such a person didn't exist, the public might even clamor for the Navy, Army, and Marine Corps to be abolished and replaced entirely with Ms. Field's NGW!

Before the formal promotion system is established, President Field will definitely promote a group of generals suddenly. In addition to Butler, those who stood on the right side in the rebellion some time ago will definitely be promoted.

For example, Major Rankin and others who resolutely resisted the rebellion that night.

Oh yeah, and there’s Ike and Patton who backstabbed MacArthur in Texas.

This kind of thing is purely a matter of time and fate, I can't envy it...

"Appoint Lieutenant General Butler as the Inspector General of Discipline for the entire U.S. Armed Forces, responsible for political education, discipline building, and the review of political issues throughout the military! From generals to privates, you have the authority to initiate investigations!"

"From today on, the 'Central Political Instruction Institute' is officially established. Lieutenant General Butler is appointed as the temporary dean. We will recruit outstanding officers and soldiers loyal to the people to train political instructors. The NGW will mobilize key personnel to fully cooperate with you in your work!"

"Within three months, I want to see the first class graduate. They will serve as 'seeds' for this reform, which will then be implemented in every company throughout the army along with other reforms! I want the US military to be completely transformed!"

"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!"

Butler's answer was resounding, with an undisguised aura of murderous intent. The other generals looked at him with a hint of caution and fear.

This "mere" lieutenant general's office will become a place that all US military officers and soldiers dare not look directly at.

"Everyone, this is the end of the military reform plan for now. The relevant drafts from the Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense, the new theater plans, and the text of the regulations for the political training system... will be distributed to you immediately after this meeting."

Haruta once again scanned the room, his voice calm and undeniable:

"You have 48 hours to read it. After 48 hours, the President's Office will convene a closed-door meeting with representatives from each military service to hear technical revision suggestions and feedback... Remember, these are technical revision suggestions; the core principles cannot be compromised."

"I sincerely hope that everyone can follow my lead, and together we can create a better world and move towards a brighter future... That's all. I have other things to do, so I'm done!"

"Yes!"

Butler led the way, and all the senior US military officers stood up and saluted as they watched the president, who was said to have never taken a day off since taking office, leave. Then he turned his head, his lips curled up:

"Everyone, we will be busy in the next one or two years."

When the American generals, who were about to face a comprehensive integration, began to "work in a shabby way", the devoted and energetic General Springfield had already sat in another office:

"How's your FBI preparation going?"

632 New FBI Warning

Department of Justice Investigations Building, Director's Office.

"How's your FBI preparation going?"

Chuntian picked up his coffee cup and smiled at the old man in front of him who was silver-haired but full of energy.

"I'm sorry to have exhausted you during this period. I'm really sorry."

"You're not saying that, Ms. Field. As the Attorney General of the United States, this is my job. How can I talk about whether it's tiring or not?"

The old man with dark circles under his eyes drank a sip of Springfield's coffee with a proud expression. He responded solemnly, knowing the president's busy schedule, and wasted no time. He quickly pushed a few documents over the desk and handed him a pen.

"Ms. Field, please review this. We have completed all the revisions you suggested. Do you want me to simultaneously report the core content and supplementary opinions for your reference?"

"it is good.."

While Springfield was flipping through the documents at a glance, Thomas Walsh, former Montana Senator, current Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and U.S. Attorney General, began his report in earnest.

His attitude was so respectful that it even surpassed that towards his real political recommender, Vice President Roosevelt.

Walsh, an old man who has experienced 74 years of ups and downs, naturally will not show blind fanaticism like young people just because of the title of "Saint" or "President".

He respected him so much and gave his all, largely because Springfield had saved his life and the lives of his family from assassins more than once.

As a famous anti-corruption fighter who overcame numerous obstacles to send Interior Secretary Albert Fall (the first "ministerial official" to be imprisoned in American history) to prison, Walsh knew better than anyone how deep the hatred he suffered.

(In 1929, Walsh withstood 23 death threats and sent the bribed Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall, to prison, making him the first "ministerial official" in American history to be imprisoned)

The more ordinary people support him, the more those maggots lurking in the shadows want to get rid of him as soon as possible - this is exactly the same as Ms. Field's situation.

Therefore, when Vice President Roosevelt recommended him to be the Attorney General of Field's new government, Walsh readily agreed, but he was also mentally prepared to face death.

However, he had not expected that the hatred of the corrupt officials and financial tycoon minions he had angered would be so urgent and their actions would be so hasty - they would take action on him while he was on his way from Florida to Washington!

If the NGW sent by Springfield to greet him had not been alert enough and discovered the poison in the breakfast in time, the grass on Walsh's grave might have been three meters high.

(Historically, Walsh died on his way to office the day after being nominated by Roosevelt. The reason was "acute myocarditis", but his heart was fine. And his wife "jumped into the sea" the next day with a large number of investigation files and confidential documents ready to be submitted. It is hard to believe that this was not an assassination.)

In the days that followed, the Attorney General and his family were always closely guarded by NGW members, and several assassination attempts, both overt and covert, were thwarted. This kindness of saving lives and protecting family members was enough for Walsh to repay with the rest of his life.

In addition to the high degree of ideological fit and Springfield's unreserved support in his work, Walsh devoted himself to the work of the Ministry of Justice with extraordinary enthusiasm and energy after taking office.

Chuntian secretly observed him, and then gave him a new task about half a year ago:

The Bureau of Investigation (BOI) under the Department of Justice was reorganized and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was officially established.

This is exactly what Walsh wants.

In fact, there has been a long-standing call to reorganize the BOI and expand its powers into the FBI.

Especially after John Edgar Hoover became the Director of the Bureau of Investigation and established his position, he openly advocated for upgrading the BOI to the FBI!

Anyone with a discerning eye in Washington can see what this plan is: to separate the Bureau of Investigation from the Department of Justice and expand the boundaries of its authority!

After all, it's the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so how could the Department of Justice control it?

This immediately triggered strong opposition from many people in the judicial community, including Walsh.

In addition to power issues, the biggest reason for opposing the reorganization of the BOI into the FBI was actually Hoover:

He acts too recklessly, ignores the requirements of other departments, and is accustomed to exploiting legal loopholes.

Under his leadership, the Bureau of Investigation has indeed made great progress, but at the same time there is also a risk of it getting out of control.

If Hoover succeeds in his reorganization, who knows what he will do with the FBI!
