Globetrodogical Diary 387 - Sequel to Ping's Trail (Author: Li Min)
Colonel Johnson believes that many historical figures can be substituted for each other. If the later development is different, it is mainly because of the environment. For example, General MacArthur, General Eisenhower, and General Stilwell, although their historical roles are very different, are actually like the same seedling, planted in different nurseries, due to the conditions of the climate and soil, the final development is completely different.
We have to admit that General Eisenhower was a man of mediocre talent. The reason for his rise to power was that he dominated the European battlefield. The number of soldiers under his command, the most important battlefield, is also very important. However, when he was young, compared to MacArthur and Stilwell, Eisenhower was obviously a very ordinary person. The kind of disposition he has is nothing more than that of being loyal and simple, and willing to help people at any time. However, for American youth from good families, this is almost a standard quality, and there is nothing special about it.
General Eisenhower was able to attain the status of a great man because he seemed so peaceful and understanding when dealing with the British and the French. As written in the novel A Bell for Adano, when people were making a fuss over a lack of supplies, such as When General de Gaulle and General Giro drew their guns at each other, General Eisenhower generously pulled out American aid and divided them equally among the people.
Unlike General Eisenhower, MacArthur was a politically minded general, and Stilwell was a self-respecting, arrogant general. Since commanding the European battlefield and determining the status of General Eisenhower, with the development of the situation, they and Eisenhower have gradually drifted apart, and their status has become worse and worse, and they may not have no feelings in their hearts.
