Chapter 90 The Power Card
Subtitle of this chapter: Do you think you should let Lady Lex sink?
………………………………………
Most of the twenty-two big Arcana cards in the SCP Foundation have been answered successfully.
The author is very sure of the following:
The fool number 0 is Yuan Yanshu himself.
The magician number 1 is Mr. Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
Priestess No. 2 is Ms. Emma Pulitzer.
Queen No. 3 is Ms. Helen Brown.
King No. 4 is Mr. John McCall.
Pope No. 5 is Mr. Louis Baker.
Lovers No. 6 are Ms. Lilian Gish.
The Hermit No. 9 is Mr. Edgar Hoover.
Destiny No. 10 is Ms. Ainukar-Rochelle.
Justice No. 11 is Mr. Yurian Hermann Chandler.
Tower No. 16 is Mr. Nikola Tesla.
The author is generally sure, but the lack of conclusive evidence is:
The 12th-no-hanging man is suspected to be Benito Mussolini.
The No. 14th temper was suspected to be Adolf Hitler.
The moon on the 18th and the sun on the 19th were mentioned earlier, so I won’t go into details.
In addition, the 7th chariot, 8th Strength, 13th Death, 15th Demon, 17th Star, 20th Trial, 21st World, these cards do have their own corresponding suspects, but the suspects of these cards are all plural, and the author cannot yet determine which one it is.
For example, the chariot plate of No. 7. There is one saying that Guderian, and another saying that Patton, both of these two chariot commanders did have a certain degree of contact with Yuan Yanshu. However, there is another saying that the chariot was a warlord who was very active in the Central Plains of China in the 20s and 1930s - Li Jie and Li Ziyi.
There is also the No. 8 Power Card, which is obviously a big banker, because Yuan Yanshu has a catchphrase, money is power. But there are too many big bankers who are familiar with him. Some say it is Andrew Mellon, some say it is Joseph Kennedy, some say it is Old George Baker... Some even say it is JP Morgan.
However, there is another suspect, Heinche Ziegfee Chandler. He was once a famous senior US Navy officer, and he was also the youngest son of Mr. Yulian Chandler, a teacher in Yuan Yanshu. His eldest brother is Justice No. 11, and his sister Eva Chandler is a movie star. It is rumored that she is Hitler's mistress.
The U.S. Navy officer was suspected of swallowing up the massive amount of Japan's wealth left in Southeast Asia at the end of World War II and his subordinates, and this large amount of shocking wealth was likely to have entered the SCP Foundation's vault, which made this secret organization really begin to make trouble all over the world.
Therefore, it can be said that it was he who provided the SCP Foundation with real "power".
This man was born in Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania in 1904. He entered the U.S. Naval Officer's School in 1921. He graduated from 1925 and was assigned to the fleet in the Philippines. In 1927, he was promoted to the Navy Lieutenant as the sailor of the rapid transport ship Chaumon. From 1929 to 1932, he was a staff officer of the Asian Fleet Transportation Formation.
However, since Heinche returned to the Philippines from China, a good officer who was "very professional soldier" in his graduation comments and was even considered to be "with Prussian military temperament" began to become the treasure and heart disease of his superiors.
He originally had extremely strict requirements for his subordinates and had no interest in social activities. Instead, he was keen on literary creation and was also a well-known writer.
But at that time, Lieutenant Heinche not only relaxed the discipline of his department, but also became the defense lawyer and protector of other soldiers who violated the rules. Therefore, he was very popular in the troops he belonged to.
However, his popularity is not only good in the army, but also among the ladies and ladies outside the army. Later, the scandal of the daughter of the deputy commander of the fleet and a captain's wife jealous of him and the fight caused by the fight, and he was almost expelled from the army.
However, Heinche had some connection with Washington, so his boss had to send him onto the ship without seeing it.
As for why he changed so much, it was probably because he had contacted another famous "playboy" Yuan Yanshu too frequently during that time in Shanghai, so he was infected by the "playboy virus". Some people also said that it was because of a failed relationship that caused his temperament to change drastically.
,
After President Roosevelt was elected in 1932, he was transferred back to the Admiralty Department in Washington to serve as a civilian job. It is worth noting that Heinche's recommendation for admission that year was the deputy secretary of the Admiralty Department, both of whom were the surname Roosevelt, so he should have known FDR before that.
During his tenure in Washington, he learned flying at his own expense and became a member of the US Navy's aircraft carrier faction at that time. The author believes that he must have been influenced by Yuan Yanshu's "Air Force Cost-effectiveness Theory".
However, the second lieutenant's remarks seemed very extreme at the time. He often published articles in newspapers, claiming that all battleships and heavy patrols should be retired or converted into aircraft carriers. The navy only needs three main combat ships, aircraft carriers, destroyers and submarines.
Of course, he is also in Washington, and he is also indifferent to romantic affairs.
So even though he had some personal relationships with President Roosevelt, he was finally kicked out by the men of the Admiralty. Since 1934, he became a lieutenant and foreign military officer, and served in British Singapore, Dutch Malaya, and French Annan, mainly responsible for the dispatch of personnel and materials between the embassy and military bases.
Because of this position and his passion for flight, perhaps there are some other reasons. During this period, he drove almost all over Southeast Asia in a plane, becoming a rare Southeast Asia port among the US Navy.
Until 1937, he was promoted to captain and went to Japan. There he met a group of like-minded naval "aircraft carrier groups". Unfortunately, those who were "like-minded" with him were all Japanese.
When he was in Japan, Japanese naval officers often invited him to places of pleasure, and the unmarried captain was particularly popular with Japanese geisha because of his handsome appearance, so he got the nickname "Captain Pinkerton".
Well, this is borrowing the surname of the hero in "Madame Butterfly" created by Italian playwright Puccini. This opera is too famous and doesn't need to be introduced. Just know that the hero Pinkerton in the opera is also a captain of the US Navy.
After entering the 1940s, the clouds of war over the Pacific were getting closer and closer. Perhaps it was President Roosevelt's care, or perhaps the role of the aircraft carrier was becoming increasingly prominent, Heinche Chandler finally became a major, and finally returned to the ship force, and finally boarded the USS Lexington CV-2 as he wished.
On the day when the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, the Lexington happened to transport planes from Pearl Harbor to Midway, thus escaping the disaster and becoming the only surviving aircraft carrier in the Pacific Fleet. (Note 1)

Note 1: The other two surviving ships, "Langley (CV1)" and "Saratoga (CV3)" were not so lucky on this timeline. Of course, the following history was also in chaos.
