MacArthur in the trial court: blue in the face and beads of sweat, begging the judge to let it go

I have to admit that the life of The American five-star general MacArthur is full of legends. In 1903, MacArthur graduated from West Point with an all-time high of 98.43 points; in 1919, he became the youngest principal in the history of West Point; during World War II, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for wade into the Philippines, the highest medal in the United States, enough to highlight his glorious record. However, the most dashing time of MacArthur's life was the seven years after the war when he became the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Japan.

Before MacArthur's first meeting with Emperor Hirohito of Japan, he had been told by the Japanese side not to have physical contact with the emperor, because to them, the emperor was extremely honorable. However, MacArthur did not pay any attention to it, he was the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, how could he care about what others said? So, when Emperor Hirohito pushed the door in, MacArthur put his hand out, Hirohito's expression stiffened, and after some struggle in his heart, he finally shook MacArthur's hand.

However, although MacArthur was infinitely beautiful at that time, as early as a few decades ago, he was just a young man who would stand in the courtroom and shiver. MacArthur was born into a military family in 1880, his father was the first U.S. military governor in the Philippines, and he had a certain say in the military community. In the summer of 1899, MacArthur was admitted to West Point, where he was slender and handsome, and soon after entering the school, he became the most prominent presence among the new students. Unfortunately, this is not something to be proud of, because the first lesson he took was to learn how to "understand politeness".

"If you don't obey, you are not qualified to command" is a famous saying at West Point, if you do not understand the word "obey", you are not eligible to graduate. As a result, MacArthur was repaired by the veteran, and under the mandatory order, he not only took off all his clothes, crouched on a pile of broken glass, but also tiptoed to the ground, straightened his arms, and posed as a flying action, which is the famous "Roc spreading his wings". A few days later, MacArthur, who had done hundreds of roc wings, finally collapsed physically, his legs not listening to the call, and trembling vigorously.

However, this was only the beginning, and all the recruits except MacArthur had to undergo such training, fainting and being beaten everywhere, and they had no resistance at all in the face of brutal veterans. Unexpectedly, just as the year-long "Beast Training" was nearing its end, a recruit named Buzi died, and the cause of death was tuberculosis. Buzi's family believes that the abuse of recruits in training is the key factor in death, and they will not give up without clarifying the truth.

In fact, they really were not wrong, Buzi was indeed bullied enough, he was not only beaten, forced to "spread his wings", and drank a whole bowl of soy sauce at each meal. In this way, Buzi could not bear it and finally chose to quit school, and it was not long before the news of his death came. Therefore, the judge summoned MacArthur and asked him to testify in court to identify the perpetrators of The Mistress. There is no doubt that MacArthur is faced with a dilemma, if he is a veteran, he is bound to be despised and ridiculed by the recruits; if he does not speak, the veteran will continue his previous evil deeds, and MacArthur's psychological pressure is very large.

In the courtroom, MacArthur's legs were trembling, his face was iron blue, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, not only because of nervousness, but also because of the after-effects of the previous "Dapeng SpreadIng Wings", he obviously could not stand for a long time. Later, MacArthur was hinted at by his mother, and he casually told a few veterans who had been investigated, and the judge looked at his father's face and asked him to go back. This trial has always been a hurdle in MacArthur's heart, and in the future life path, he always does not forget to spur himself on and move forward towards the supreme glory.
