The tunnel thru the air : $b or, Looking back from 1940

Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
The Allied Enemy generals and officers knowing what could happen
after the losses at New York and Washington obeyed the instructions
of Supreme Commander Gordon and moved to a place of safety. After
waiting three days and finding that their armies were still asleep they
gathered near their various headquarters in New Orleans, St. Louis,
Chicago, San Francisco and prayed for deliverance. They realized that
the greatest power of the universe was now in the hands of the United
States. Most of them credited this power to an act of God, and not to
man. They had not yet heard what had happened in all the cities of the
world where the Marie the Angel of Mercy had visited.
Late on the 7th day the Allied Armies of the enemy began to awake. Each
day following for the next 6 days, the people in one city after another
of the foreign countries where he had visited awoke. Supreme Commander
Gordon released an electric light control and the cities were no longer
in darkness. All wireless and radio stations refused to take any
messages except what concerned news in regard to the Marie the Angel of
Mercy and what had happened all over the world.
On the second day after Supreme Commander Gordon's arrival, the War
Council of the United States and the President came to New York City to
confer with the Supreme Commander. Reports had come from all parts of
the world about his mission of mercy. Not one life had been reported
lost. To say that he returned in triumph and great victory was to put
it mildly. The President and the War Council decided that it was now
time to permit all newspapers to publish the news all over the United
States and let the people know just what had been happening during
the past 7 days. Thousands of messages poured in to Supreme Commander
Gordon. The world was at the Supreme Commander's feet. He was hailed as
the greatest man since Jesus Christ.
On August 4th, 1932, all of the cities in the world where Supreme
Commander Gordon had destroyed buildings, were heard from. Reports
showed that everything was normal and that no lives were lost. Messages
were pouring in from every part of the world to the Allied Enemy
Commanders to make peace with the United States on any terms and
never permit the return of Marie the Angel of Mercy. The Commanders
of the Allied Enemy armies dispatched messages to the President at
Washington, asking for an armistice and peace terms on any conditions.
The President replied:
Peace terms are out of my hands. When this country was in dire peril
and our cause seemed hopeless and lost,--when your demands were to
take our country, our name, our honor,--at that time we placed our
fate in the hands of a lone man Robert Gordon and made him Supreme
Commander of all of the Armies of the United States. His will is law.
You will have to deal with him, no one else has authority or will be
given authority.
