Chapter 1493: Wind Direction of Change
New York.
It felt so good to be home again, Li Zitao put his body on the sofa and looked at the piles of newspapers on the small round table.
In the outside world, news about the Far East is overwhelming.
The discussion of the Red Terror has once again become a hot topic, and everyone is arguing fiercely about what kind of impact this grand ceremony in the Far East will have on the world.
At the same time, conflicts on the peninsula are also heating up.
The two opposing camps in the world are both exercising restraint and seeking breakthroughs that can resolve conflicts.
Unwilling political schemers and careerists acted quietly in secret, setting off a prairie fire.
Formal war is inevitable, and the United Nations army led by the United States is unstoppable.
But no one knows that all this is only temporary.
Support from the red camp is about to arrive, and what the United Nations Army could not predict is that a protracted and anxious battle will kick off.
"Mike, you should preside over the negotiation as soon as possible. War is not good for anyone." Recently, Li Zitao spent more and more time in the study.
The momentum that should be played has already come out. If the negotiation can be brought forward, unnecessary casualties in the future can be completely avoided.
But at this time, MacArthur, who was reborn as the supreme commander of the coalition forces, could listen to the advice of an outsider.
What's more, in his opinion, the opponent's stubborn resistance is only a last resort.
Soon, the United Nations Army with advanced weapons and combat readiness will achieve an overwhelming victory and be able to draw a perfect end to his military career.
MacArthur, who has not yet been beaten by the iron fist of socialism, is proud and complacent, and is digging and burying his own grave stubbornly and unswervingly.
The strong industrial foundation of the United States also burst out new sparks again.
The arms dealers were overjoyed, and the day when they counted money until their hands cramped came at the most unexpected time.
All Li Zitao, who had failed to persuade, could do was to let the Los Angeles News and the Hearst Group report negatively on public opinion.
Topics amplified on the impact and impact on the public of going to war again, and how painful it is for families who lost loved ones in previous wars.
So, on the second day of the broadcast, the Los Angeles News and Hearst received double warnings from the military and the government.
No matter what they had and ideas before, but after the war officially kicked off, they don't want to see too many voices of opposition.
The Los Angeles News and the Hearst Group control more than 40 percent of all media channels in the United States.
Their reports are negative for the war, and the impact is extremely bad.
Truman even called himself and asked him what he was trying to do.
As a last resort, the reports of the two news groups began to become less confrontational and sharp, and the soft words were no longer inflammatory.
But the reporting of the facts has not changed in any way, and they still insist on the pursuit of the truth.
Li Zitao has only one answer to the question sent by the respected Mr. President: "I am doing the right thing, which is to prevent the world from going to war again."
A few hours later, the conversation quickly spread in the streets and alleys in the form of rumors.
However, the expected anti-war wave did not happen.
Just when Li Zitao was wondering about this, Aiden walked in angrily with Christina, waved his coat and threw it on the ground.
"What happened?" Seeing his distraught look, Li Zitao couldn't understand what made him like this.
Aiden glanced at his father, wanted to say something and fell silent again.
"It's just a contradiction in some schools,
I'm going back to my room. "Picking up his clothes, Aiden left the living room quickly.
"Tina." Li Zitao called out to Christina who wanted to slip away.
"Sir." Christina said in embarrassment: "We were stopped for interrogation on the way back. Today is the third time this month."
"When did it start?" Being stopped and interrogated was unprecedented.
"Last month," Christina replied.
Li Zitao fell into deep thought, and when he woke up, he found that Christina was still standing there.
"Go get busy, I'll take care of this." Li Zitao already had an idea.
He planned to have someone investigate and then make a conclusion, whether this incident was targeted or whether there was something else hidden in it.
When information from all parties gathered in front of him, Christmas was just around the corner.
The war situation on the peninsula has undergone a huge change. The ambition of the United Nations army to fully occupy it before Christmas was smashed by the millet plus rifle they looked down upon.
And on Li Zitao's table, there is also the real reason why Aiden was stopped in the street for questioning.
His attention to folk thoughts is too relaxed, so that he has not discovered until now that public opinion and ideas in Western society are being seriously extreme right.
Beginning in '47, investigations into red-leaning activists across the United States have been launched.
If I remember correctly, it happened to be the time when he received news that someone would conduct a so-called 'loyalty survey' on his tendencies.
He should have been vigilant at that time, and thought of the subsequent impact caused by it.
In fact, since the "loyalty investigation" was launched, it has had an extremely serious impact on Western camps and ideas.
Washington, the Armed Forces and defense contractors have all come under investigation to varying degrees during this period.
In 48, that is, a year ago, this investigation was expanded to the point of ridiculousness.
It is said that a total of 20 million people have received this survey so far.
Among them were workers, teachers, athletes, housewives, and even the mother of a 3-year-old girl who was chosen to be a model was notified that her daughter had to sign an affidavit of loyalty in order to receive her. due pay.
Teachers may be fired if they don't scold redism in class.
Before the athletes go on the field, if they don't take an oath of loyalty to boost their momentum, they will receive strange looks and even black whistle from the referee.
Even the baseball team with the word "red" in its name was forced to change its name.
What's even more ridiculous is that the candidates for the Miss America contest have to go through a special assessment interview before officially entering the competition.
There is only one topic for this interview; talk about your views on Marxism.
Under the investigation that everyone feels insecure, penetrates into life, and affects all aspects of the investigation, far-right ideology spreads like a plague.
It is precisely because of this that no one dares to speak or protest any incidents involving "red" at the risk of being arrested and investigated.
What is even more frustrating is that the beginning of this war was initiated by the northern peninsula.
From the starting point, the United Nations Army has a favorable public opinion.
It's just that after winning the victory, they became a little greedy and arrogant, no longer satisfied with the current battle situation, and wanted to expand and fully occupy the peninsula.
