World War II broke out in 1939, the day George Marshall became chief of staff of the U.S. Army.
At the time, the U.S. Army had only 200,000 troops, but Marshall showed outstanding capabilities
in power reinforcement and organizational strengthening and made it the world's strongest army
with 8.3 million men five years later.
Despite being a brilliant officer, George Marshall's progress was very slow.
He was barely a lieutenant colonel when he and MacArthur, his same age, were four star generals
and army chiefs of staff.
It was after MacArthur resigned from the post of chief of staff that he was promoted to brigadier general
by MacArthur every time. At that time, he was 55 years old.
One day in 1938, as an adjutant to the chief of staff, an opportunity came to him.
At the time, military leaders were concerned about America's weak national defense.
At this time, President Roosevelt makes an ambitious proposal to build 10,000 fighter jets.
It was an unrealizable proposal, but the majority of participants expressed their unconditional agreement.
But when the president asked Marshall for his opinion, he spoke with characteristic honesty.
He said, "I'm sorry, Mr. President, but I can't agree with you at all."
In Marshall's judgment, it was because he considered building so many fighters not only overly ambitious,
but also extremely impractical.
Enraged, Roosevelt immediately stormed out of the conference room, and the meeting was over.
Everyone assumed that Marshall's life in Washington would end here. However, Roosevelt never mentioned
the incident again, and rather became interested in his candor.
On the day he was inaugurated as chief of staff, Marshall made a famous statement.
"Your Excellency, I'm going to give you a report that will often disturb your planting, but is that okay?"
It was his usual creed that a subordinate who obeyed unconditionally might satisfy his superior's selfishness,
but could not perform any more useful function.
