Chapter 836 Combat Preparation
"Reproduce the great October Revolution!"
"Surround the countryside with cities!"
"Down with the evil capitalism!"
Listening to the Detroit thugs shouting various revolutionary slogans, President Wilkie's face suddenly turned black, and he trembled with anger and cursed with gritted teeth. "These damn Bushwicks!"
Interestingly, the XXX Party in the United States was established quite early, as early as 1919. However, after its establishment, it did not cause any big waves, and it was a bit too "calm". At that time, the global XXX was the most active. As a standard capitalist country, the United States naturally adopted a certain suppression policy for the signs of XXX. However, it still could not resist the global XXX craze. The XXX Party in the United States developed relatively rapidly underground. Later, after having a certain mass base, it also gained a certain right to speak, and gradually obtained the status of a legal party in the United States; in the 1930s, the XXX Party in the United States had begun to take shape after nearly 10 years of development, and the number of members reached more than 100,000 during the heyday of World War II.
It has also done some things before and after. One of the most influential things is that it organized more than 3,000 people to participate in the Spanish Civil War. Apart from this, it has done relatively few things worth noting. After all, they can attract some vulnerable workers who are exploited at the bottom. But in the early stage of World War II, the United States was not involved in the war. At that time, the United States played the role of a weapons and material supply factory. During this period, workers could get jobs and get generous salaries. The living conditions of the workers were also significantly improved, and the contradictions between the working class and the capitalist class became somewhat eased.
When the contradictions between the working class and the capitalist class were not obvious, the American party naturally lost the basis of the struggle. Therefore, during the World War II in the original time and space, the American party followed the trend and maintained a relatively close cooperative relationship with the ruling party of the United States.
Now that the United States is in an unprecedented crisis, these guys are getting more and more rampant and playing the trick of rioting? ! Originally thought to be an ordinary riot, a few policemen could handle it, but unexpectedly even the National Guard was beaten up, and there were even considerable casualties, which really made the senior officials in the conference room extremely angry.
"Could it be the Soviet Union behind this?" Someone suddenly made a bold guess. "After all, the Soviet Union is about to be unable to protect itself, so it wants to find a way out in our United States?"
"..." Everyone looked at each other in surprise. If that was the case, Stalin was too bad. The United States supported them with both materials and personnel, and they "repay" like this? ! Is this still a human being? !
President Wilkie, who was extremely angry, ordered loudly. "Immediately ban all Busheviks in the country! Each of them may be a Soviet spy!!"
His order was well executed.
After the end of World War II in the original time and space, the global pattern became two opposing camps of capitalism and certainism. Therefore, the certain party in the United States was naturally severely suppressed by the ruling party of the United States. Such a period was called McCarthyism. Many senior officials were arrested and imprisoned-the reason was that these people were likely to be a spy infiltration deployed by the Soviet Union in the United States.
In any country, once it involves national security, the punishment is generally relatively severe, so this crime has dealt a severe blow to the American Party. Basically, all members of the party have been investigated by the US government departments of all sizes. Moreover, the US government requires all sectors of society to exclude certainism on the grounds of national security. For example, factories are absolutely not allowed to recruit workers from certain parties. Even if they used to be, they are still not allowed to recruit workers who have quit the party. If you want to get a job, you must go through a very strict review. There are countless cases where workers who once joined the American Party were destroyed by the US authorities.
And because the economic performance of capitalism was slightly better than that of certain parties during the Cold War, after the end of the Cold War, a large number of certain countries directly transformed into capitalist countries, especially the Soviet Union, the leader of certain countries, which was also automatically disintegrated after the Cold War, which dealt a great blow to international certainism.
Therefore, the American Party, which did not receive international response, was even more difficult to survive, and even had to turn to underground movements. Such a gray period did not ease until the 1970s, but it was also a serious blow, resulting in the influence of the American Party in the United States in later generations being negligible.
The order was issued, but the top priority was to resolve the riot in Detroit as soon as possible.
Without much hesitation, the president and senior officials of the Department of Defense quickly reached a consensus on this issue and sent regular troops to eliminate these damn thugs with thundering means.
Some people asked worriedly. "But what about the hostages?" The thugs in the city have already attacked the city government, the police station and other government departments, including the mayor and others, who have all become hostages. Once these thugs are desperate, the hostages may not be alive.
President Wilkie said without hesitation. "Send an elite force to rescue them. If the rescue fails... In short, we can't compromise with these thugs!"
No one present raised any objections. After all, everyone already knew the seriousness of the matter, and special measures could only be taken in special times.
The United States has a very diverse race and ethnicity, with white Americans accounting for the majority (about 2/3), and the remaining one-third of minorities. Once the government shows weakness to these thugs, this one-third of minorities will start to make trouble, and the consequences will be disastrous.
The Department of Defense quickly formulated an offensive plan. The first step was to send paratroopers to suddenly land at Detroit City Hall to rescue the hostages.
The 82nd Airborne Division was responsible for carrying out the rescue mission.
The 82nd Airborne Division was established in World War I, and its predecessor was the 82nd Infantry Division. Because all the officers and soldiers of the division were from all 48 states in the United States when it was first established, it earned the title of "All-American Division". In the spring of 1918, the 82nd Airborne Division crossed the ocean and went to France. It participated in three major battles and dealt a powerful blow to the German army. After the end of World War I, the 82nd Infantry Division was transferred to a reserve division.
After the outbreak of World War II, the United States converted the 82nd Infantry Division back into active service based on combat needs. It was absurd that its first combat was against its own citizens on its own soil.
