"Death to niggers!"
"MacArthur, step down! "Fuck off with the 'honorary niggers'!"
For the first time in nearly 90 years, the South is burning hotter than ever.
For Dixies who did not want to treat black people as the same people, being told to eat at the same restaurant as black people, use the same bathroom, and ride on buses without separate seats was nothing short of an insult.
In the South, protestors protesting against the government's policies held demonstrations holding Confederate flags and calling for MacArthur to resign, and the KKK, taking advantage of this atmosphere, went on a rampage and lynched black people.
And MacArthur also responded firmly to the southern opposition.
-Whisk!
"Charge forward!"
"Take them all in!"
"You Dixie bastards!"
Federal troops fired tear gas at the protesters who were waving the Confederate flag, and when the smoke from the tear gas disrupted the ranks of the protesters, they launched a deadly assault.
The protesters, who were growling to their heart's content as if the military was going to attack them, were scared and ran away when they saw the federal troops charging through the smoke of tear gas.
The protester who was running away was hit by a butt wielded by federal troops, breaking his nose and the back of his head.
Shouts and screams continued, and some of the fleeing protesters bumped into each other and fell.
Similar scenes occurred one after another throughout the South, including Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and Arkansas.
Southern newspapers published scoops all at once, inciting people that federal troops had used indiscriminate violence against innocent, unarmed demonstrators.
One way or another, there was no change in the government's policy.
Whether white or black, everyone is a citizen of the same United States. Those who reject this and try to interfere are those who threaten the safety and peace of the nation.
"Racism must end in our great country! "That is the truth of the world and the path this country must take!"
However, MacArthur did not just unconditionally protect black people.
For MacArthur, the only black people who deserved national protection were those who were loyal to the American flag and worked sincerely for the country; black people who were imbued with ideas other than democracy were not eligible for protection.
Representative among them are black people who joined the BFR and the Communist Party.
It was a group that MacArthur hated as much as the hard-core racists of the South.
"Fascists and communists are unscrupulous people who are protected by democracy and want to enjoy its rights to the fullest, but they refuse their duties and are traitors who want to sell out their country. They advocate dictatorship in democratic countries and destroy democratic societies to create dictatorial governments. "How can those who want to establish it be called citizens of the United States?"
"That's right!"
"You speak well!"
"MacArthur! MacArthur!"
"Just because someone was born in the United States, grew up in the United States, and lives in the United States does not mean they are all Americans. A person can be treated as a citizen when he pledges allegiance to the American flag and performs the duties that his country has assigned to him. But those who refuse this natural duty have no right to be treated as citizens of the United States. You have rights only if you fulfill your duties!"
MacArthur's hound, Hoover, had a lot more work to do.
However, he did not show a single hint and quietly carried out the task assigned to him. Now that he has obtained the position of permanent FBI director of his dreams, he must show appropriate performance in order to maintain it.
Therefore, even though he was secretly opposed to MacArthur's abolition of black-white discrimination, he investigated KKK executives, investigated southern governors, discovered their hidden weaknesses, and presented them to the White House.
Fascist, pro-German, and pro-communist groups were put through disbanding procedures, and high-ranking executives received a surprise visit from the FBI at their homes.
"What is the Soviet Union's reaction?"
"It's quiet, as you expected. It's as if he doesn't know anything about this business."
Even though communist organizations in the United States were forcibly disbanded and communist members were taken into custody by the FBI and investigated, the Soviet Union failed to make any protest.
"Of course you should. What can these people who feed themselves with the taxes paid by the citizens of the United States do? "If you don't want to be trampled by the Nazis, you should keep your mouth shut and stay quiet like you are now."
MacArthur chuckled after hearing the Soviet Union's reaction.
As he expected, the Soviet Union showed no response to the suppression of the Communist Party in the United States.
It wasn't that they didn't know what was happening in the United States, but realistically there was nothing the Soviet Union could do.
The Soviet Union was afraid that if they came forward and said something, the angry United States would cut off aid, and they were worried that sparks might fly against them.
Every day, the Soviet Embassy in Washington was inundated with calls and letters requesting help from Communist Party supporters seeking asylum in the Soviet Union.
However, their requests for salvation were completely ignored. It was completely different from the German embassy accepting asylum for fascist figures seeking asylum in Germany.
Capitalists who made their fortunes during the French colony, people who cooperated with the colonial authorities, and Ho Chi Minh's Vietnam, which oppressed and massacred right-wing groups, also bowed out when the United States showed its discomfort.
MacArthur also had no intention of causing chaos by attacking the small, distant country of Vietnam. Even though it was a communist country, they fought together against a common enemy called Japan during World War II, and the fact that Ho Chi Minh was pro-American also played a strong role. Because I did it.
However, even so, there was no intention to tolerate the random suppression of right-wing figures in the country.
Without the need for diplomatic pressure, Ho Chi Minh and the Communist Party simply expressed their wish for a little restraint and stopped the massacre and suddenly released the political prisoners imprisoned in the camp.
The released political prisoners and their families had to leave for Thailand or the Philippines, but it was much better than dying.
"Look, everyone. This is justice."
"The United States of America will never turn a blind eye to those in need."
"A world where everyone is at peace! "We will create an America where everyone can live safely and peacefully!"
"MacArthur! MacArthur!"
The Americans, who saw the communist camp shaking at a single cough from their country, cheered and chanted MacArthur's name.
In particular, people of color - blacks, yellow people, Native Americans, etc. - for whom discrimination had been a daily occurrence - supported MacArthur more passionately than anyone else.
Pro-German or communist groups that were popular among black people for a while lost their power.
The government is changing the world on its own, so is there a need to borrow power from foreign powers? And I don't know anything else, but if you're pro-Germany or pro-communist, you can't be treated like a human being, right?
Black people were treated like human beings at best, but they did not want to become involved in pro-Germany issues.
A series of people joined fascist and pro-German groups and then left them, and people who had made pro-German or pro-communist remarks in the past were criticized one after another.
Everything went according to MacArthur's plan.
Except that the country has become 'a little too much' confused.
When it was discovered that the Soviet Union had planted spies in the United States, the popularity of the Communist Party in the United States quickly waned.
Therefore, when the government's full-scale oppression began, the Communist Party was swept away without even making a single noise.
It took some time because the pro-German and fascist groups were large in size and did not have a small number of supporters.
However, as Germany's possession of the hydrogen bomb and rocket development continued, people felt anxious, and naturally, pro-German organizations gradually lost support.
The biggest challenge is the south. The South, filled with hard-core racists who refused to eat with blacks even if it meant starving to death, accepted the government's measures as oppression and a declaration of war against the South.
That is why the South resisted the government most fiercely.
"Are we going to live like this?"
"The madman in the White House wants to sell our children to those dirty niggers!"
"Southern pride must be maintained by Southerners themselves!"
Riots broke out in some southern cities.
Protesters shot black people to death, dragged a family out of their home, poured gasoline on them, and burned them alive. Blood flowed everywhere.
As the protests intensified, the federal military's response also became stronger.
"Tell them that if protesters fire, federal troops can fire too."
"dismissal!"
"that-"
"If you take a step back now, you'll be letting the Dixie know that their way is working! What kind of citizens are these people who randomly lynch, murder, and set fire to innocent citizens? They are not citizens, they are rioters, rioters! Suppressing the rioters is the government's job!"
When the whole United States was in an uproar due to the unrest that broke out in the South,
Perón, looking for an opportunity, decided to act.
"Your Excellency, preparations for dispatch are complete."
"Hurry up and give orders."
The military was confident of victory.
The entire army was trained in German style, and additional fighter planes and warships were purchased from Germany to ensure complete victory.
The morale of the soldiers also skyrocketed due to the exhilarating feeling of regaining the territory of the homeland.
A fight that cannot be lost.
In addition, the United States, Britain's successor, has no time to worry about other countries due to unrest within its own country.
Is there a more perfect opportunity than this?
"Retake the Malvinas Islands."
April 2, 1953.
Argentine troops landed on the Falkland Islands.
***
April 5, 1953
New Fuhrer's Residence in Berlin, Germany
When an Argentine army division, supported by naval and air force, landed on the Falkland Islands, there was only one British battalion on the Falkland Islands.
Of course, there was no opponent, and just two hours after the battle began, the entire British army stationed in the Falkland Islands became prisoners of the Argentine army. Along with the residents and governor of the Falkland Islands.
As I expected, Edward VIII and Mosley in London were very displeased and issued a statement condemning Argentina.
Even though the Falkland Islands are effectively ruled by Canada's government-in-exile, and the Governor-General of the Falklands has pledged allegiance to the government-in-exile, legally the Falkland Islands are also the territory of fascist Britain.
The fascist government in London also reacts this way, and there is no need to say anything about the government-in-exile's reaction.
Attlee, the Prime Minister of the exile government, immediately criticized Argentina, and Queen Elizabeth II, who had so far refrained from political action based on principle, issued a statement criticizing Argentina. However, Argentina completely ignored it.
"What do you think will happen in the future?"
"Mmm."
Göring thought about it for a long time, perhaps sensing that my question was aimed at educating successors.
"It appears that the UK will take revenge."
Good answer.
"Then what about America?"
"America is... … Since they are busy with their own work, are they going to try to get involved in Argentina's affairs?"
I shook my head at Goering's answer.
"It's not unreasonable to think that way. But I think MacArthur will definitely try to make a move."
South America is recognized by everyone as America's navabari. Although it is living a miserable life in Canada, Britain is an ally of the United States.
Britain is under attack, but it stays silent? This is no different from admitting to the world that the United States has neither the power nor the will to protect its own backyard.
Therefore, the United States will definitely move. No matter how rampant the Southern Dixie may be, it will not reach the point where the United States cannot even protect its own yard.
"Mr. President, the United States has just issued a statement criticizing Argentina."
"Look there. "Am I right?"
When Ribbentrop came in and confirmed that what I said was correct, Göring, who had been quiet, went into unlimited respect mode again.
"How is it that the President's predictions have never been wrong?"
"It's not that I'm that great, but it's something that anyone can figure out if they just turn their brains around a little."
However, it will take some time for the United States to take action. Even if it is the United States, going to war against a country that ranks among the top ten military powers in the world requires its own preparation.
"But he won't be sitting idle during that time, and I think he'll probably be looking for a country to beat up Argentina on his behalf."
***
When Argentina occupied the Falkland Islands, the British government-in-exile was outraged.
How dare someone like Argentina touch the territory of the British Empire! Does this mean we don't seem like a threat anymore?
And America was just as angry as Britain.
I'm already annoyed that they're sticking with Germany by just saying neutrality, but now they're even messing with the UK.
Although Britain may not have been unaware of the fact that it was an ally of the United States, attacking Britain was no different from a challenge to the United States.
MacArthur hastily sent a warning to Argentina: withdraw from the Falkland Islands immediately and recognize that they are British territory.
They also offered candy saying that if they did that, they would not be held responsible for anything in the future, but Peron remained silent.
"It seems that Peron has no intention of listening to us."
"I think so too. "They only believe in Hitler's ass and think of us as shit."
MacArthur ground his teeth.
I have no intention of blaming my predecessor, but I thought Dewey may have been too supportive of Argentina.
If Argentina had immediately punished Germany when it attacked Germany, Argentina would have been oppressed even now without making a sound.
However, Dewey did not take any action because Argentina maintained neutrality, and this was the result.
"Ike."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"How long do you think it will take to prepare for the Argentina expedition?"
"If the goal is complete occupation of Argentina, perhaps… … I think it will take three months."
Secretary of Defense Eisenhower shook his head.
The appointment of Eisenhower, who was branded a loser, as Secretary of Defense was entirely MacArthur's will.
It was not that there was no one else, and there was talk of why appointing a leader as Secretary of Defense, but MacArthur defeated all opposition and entrusted the position to Eisenhower as Secretary of Defense.
Even though he was defeated on the European front, it was a choice he made because he knew how capable Eisenhower was.
Eisenhower, who was appointed Secretary of Defense thanks to MacArthur, worked more passionately than anyone else in the White House to repay his superiors who believed in him.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Argentina had occupied the Falkland Islands, he calculated the preparation period needed for the deployment of the U.S. expeditionary force.
The result is three months. Even this assumed minimal preparation, so in reality it was likely to take more time.
"Three months."
"We can deploy the Commonwealth army first, but without our support, it will be difficult to achieve victory against the Argentine army with our current forces."
Of course, the British government in exile and the member countries of the Commonwealth would participate, but it was close to impossible for them to defeat the current Argentine army alone.
"Then we'll need a friend to beat Peron in the face on our behalf."
