The emotions are a wonderful feeling!
It can make people emotionally irritable, moody, and can also affect a person's judgment. Even high-powered, battle-hardened people are swayed by emotions. For example, General MacArthur, who once played a prominent role in the Korean battlefield, even if he had been in battle for a long time, he would still make himself irritable, anxious and uneasy because of his certain uncertain emotions.
Especially in the winter of 1950, when faced with the sudden appearance of Chinese on the Korean battlefield, the feeling of being close to victory but suddenly far away from the end of the world made him emotionally fluctuate greatly, and he was also ruthlessly humiliated and humiliated by the American media, which made him have a sense of frustration that he fell from the clouds to the bottom, so what did the American media write? It will make a battle-hardened general crazy and grumpy!
First of all, we must know that in the historical period at that time, American journalists on the front line would publish and report on the every move of the coalition forces on the Korean Peninsula every day, and the victory and retreat of the coalition forces would be presented to the American people.
Secondly, we should also understand that General MacArthur himself was a self-absorbed, self-absorbed soldier who could only accept the praises of the media and the people in his heart, and the feeling of being worshipped as a god made him feel very good about himself. Contrary words, such as his inability to return to heaven in the face of the situation, and the words that Jiang Lang had exhausted in the face of Chinese, were words that he was unwilling to see and accept no matter what.
At that time, some of the media used a lot of exaggerated words to describe his retreat, and it was obvious that even if the coalition army only took a step to the rear, it would be described by the media as a rout, so his mood was very unstable, and even frantically said that the domestic media could not distinguish what was called an efficient retreat and what was a rout.
Let's take a look at the media rhetoric! See how these words describe the Allied retreat, and if you were MacArthur, would you hold back your anger?
Media coverage
There is a sentence in many reports to describe MacArthur's dilemma at this time:
"The general's forces may become the worst defeat in U.S. history, and unless there is a diplomatic miracle, the U.S. forces on the Korean battlefield will have to undergo a new Dunkirk evacuation to avoid a new Bataan-style overthrow."
How did you feel after seeing the above sentence? Is it possible to understand the mood of a highly respected five-star general? Such words are in fact a naked humiliation of the commander of the United Nations army!
Friends who know World War II will surely be very familiar with the Dunkirk evacuation and the Bataan death march, two historical events: the Germans defeating British and French troops in Europe to force them to withdraw across the sea, and the Japanese defeating the American and Filipino forces in the Philippines to escort prisoners on a death march.
The latter was the mess left by MacArthur after he withdrew from the Philippines during World War II, so this way of reporting in the media not only surprised the people about the situation in North Korea, but also made MacArthur furious.
Both of these events undoubtedly describe the fact that he is about to suffer a complete failure, and the implication is extremely pessimistic, no wonder he will be angry after watching it.
At the same time, the media also kept adding fuel to the fire and exaggerating that some UNITS had retreated more than 250 kilometers backwards in a week, a large withdrawal that was unprecedented in U.S. history.
Some media also said that the war should continue to be fought, otherwise the "Soviet power" would be unstoppable in Asia, which would affect the commitment of the United States to those Asian countries to block the Soviet Union. In short, such a stressful report is staged every day, and I ask how a person who is accustomed to being held in the palm of his hand can withstand the ravages of this language! Presumably everyone will be crazy!
MacArthur: China absolutely does not dare to fight, and if it dares to face the UNITED Nations army, it will shed a river of blood!
The 19-year-old male college student killed the 2-year-old daughter of the anti-epidemic personnel, and the words he said when he committed the murder were even more infuriating!
China's victory in the fight against the epidemic is in sight, but it has suddenly announced that foreign Chinese return to China to pay for treatment
