Age of Rebirth

Alexander's tricky question seems to be the only reason for the current situation in Myanmar. It depends on Tang Qiuli. The big hats of morality, taking advantage of others' danger, and grabbing the interests of allies were put on Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli's answer was also very ingenious. He didn't mention the agreement at all. His attitude was very clear. You, the British, have your feet on you. Myanmar, no one is stopping you, and I welcome you with my hands up.

This is exactly Alexander’s weakness. At the beginning, with the strength of the British army in the heyday of the Indochina Peninsula, they were beaten to pieces by the Japanese, and the British and Burmese troops today are dying in name only. How can they fight back to Burma?Alexander's current status is nothing more than an almost idle civilian officer, without any military power in his hands, so what can he use to fight?

With a unwilling heart, or the inherent colonial ideas in your mind?The British Governor in India has no interest in fighting back to Burma. If it weren't for the face of being an old friend with Alexander, even India would not have a foothold for this defeated general. There was no chance of Alexander returning to Burma.

Alexander was speechless, and MacArthur gave his old friend a dissatisfied look, blaming him for extravagance and trouble, because the issue of dispatching troops would soon be involved, which was good, and gave Tang Qiuli a high-sounding excuse to face the situation himself. Against Ito's Japanese troops.It was very strenuous, but why did MacArthur go to great lengths to let the Chinese send troops to fight the Japanese in Burma? [

How much MacArthur hopes.Tang Qiuli stood up on the spur of the moment, "Your Excellency, leave the task of destroying the Japanese army in Burma to me? You don't need to bother the other allied troops." What a wonderful thing this should be, but looking at Tang Qiu Not far from the half-smile, MacArthur tried hard to get rid of it in his mind.unrealistic fantasy.

This Chinese, if he doesn't give him benefits, he will never make any effort, but let him speak like this.He directly clarified his intentions, but he was not willing to do so, so he turned his eyes to Yang Yongtai, who was sitting on his lower left hand, looking at his nose and heart, like an old monk in meditation.I also hope that Yang Yongtai will stand up, understand the direct intention, and say impassionedly: "Your Excellency, such a task. Leave it to our Chinese army!"

Things would also be much simpler, no matter if Tang Qiuli sent troops.It is still the Jiang government in Chongqing who sent troops, that is your own business.What I need most is to issue combat orders one by one. According to MacArthur's understanding, Generalissimo Jiang also has great strength in his hands. In addition, he has received a large amount of equipment from the United States, and he has the power to fight against Ito.

Yang Yongtai, an old fox, how can he not feel that MacArthur's eagerly expecting gaze, his mind is thinking rapidly, it is absolutely impossible for Generalissimo Jiang to send troops to Burma to fight the Japanese, and he will come Before Manila, the old man summoned himself to the official mansion, and the first thing he said in face-to-face instruction was, "As long as you don't use the national army and don't go to fight against the Japanese in Burma, you can agree to anything on my behalf."

The only thing Yang Yongtai needs to consider is how not to offend MacArthur, and not let him see that he intends to take it off. He originally made up his mind to be a very qualified listener, with only ears but no mouth, but MacArthur saw Looking at his own eyes, it was as if he had been in a prison for ten years, and just after he was released, he suddenly saw a naked beauty with anticipation and eagerness.

Yang Yongtai knew that he couldn't escape, so he nodded slightly at Tang Qiuli first, then got up, took out a handkerchief, wiped his glasses carefully, and said in his usual calm tone: "General MacArthur, all generals, I as the The special representative of Chairman Jiang of the Republic of China government fully supports any decision of the Allied Army Headquarters."

"General MacArthur is talented, commanding well, and understands all the situations in Southeast Asia. Regarding that army, which is responsible for eliminating hidden dangers in the area, I must have already made a conclusion in his mind. Naturally, Yang can't do it alone, but I can express my opinion. An order, we will strictly implement, conditional support!"

Yang Yongtai sat down with a calm face. As a veteran in the officialdom, he skillfully used Chinese Tai Chi Kungfu to easily kick this difficult problem back to MacArthur, "I want me to put the bullet in the head and act as a villain. In front of me, Yang Yongtai, you are too pediatric. Regardless of your age, MacArthur, who has fought for decades, in front of me, Yang Yongtai, you are like a baby learning to speak. If you talk about tricks, I, Yang Yongtai It's the ancestor of you Yankee!"

Yang Yongtai is an old fox, and MacArthur is not a fuel-efficient lamp. How could he fail to see Yang Yongtai's smoothness and cunning? Guan Ji, what Stilwell said had the same effect as what he said, and no one could help him.

MacArthur had no choice but to go into battle in person. This time, he was not going to use coercion to force Tang Qiuli to send troops. At the reception last night, he had already seen the toughness of this Chinese. Tang Qiuli's errand was on Tang Qiuli's shoulders, and besides him, there was no suitable candidate at all.

MacArthur had even made up his mind that he could make concessions or pay some affordable price in exchange for his plan to be realized. At this moment, Tang Qiuli, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "General MacArthur, I There is a question that I still don’t understand, and I hope the general can explain it.”

MacArthur was overjoyed, it was so cool, you jumped out by yourself, saving me a lot of thoughts and brain cells, and asked with a smile on his face: "I don't know General Tang, if there is anything I don't understand, as long as I can answer it, General But say no!"

Tang Qiuli asked: "Just now, in the analysis of the situation in Southeast Asia, the general repeatedly mentioned that there are dangerous and unstable factors in this region. I want to know. Which aspect or force is the general referring to?" ? Only when this point is clarified can we enter the specific operation stage and let all the generals present have a clear goal."

In MacArthur's heart, don't mention how tired and crooked, isn't this obvious?The few people who are doing it, except for those stupid generals from small Asian countries who are pulled to make up the numbers, are they not like a mirror in their hearts, so they still need you to ask questions?

The core strategy of the United States is to try to avoid any form of conflict with the Japanese in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.MacArthur is an active supporter and implementer of this strategy. Otherwise, the US military would have dispatched troops long ago. How could the Indochina Peninsula fall into your hands, Tang Qiuli?None of them are fools.On that piece of land, the natural resources and mineral deposits are enough to drive anyone crazy.

I didn't mention the Japanese at all, just so as not to anger the tough little pitbull and prevent the Japanese from noticing it.This is the true intention of the United States, otherwise, General MacArthur does not mind, at this meeting.Greatly demonize the Japanese, if they talk about creating public opinion and discrediting their opponents.He considers himself an old hand at it.

But Tang Qiuli had already put the problem on the table, and he couldn't allow him to still hold the pipa and half cover his face.Concealing, using some cover-ups that we all know, just not to say, MacArthur pondered for a while, and said: "General Tang's question is also a doubt in everyone's mind. I think, based on your rich experience, it is not difficult to judge. The root of all these factors of instability is the Japanese entrenched in south-central Myanmar, to be precise, the Japanese army under the command of Ito Genzaburo, the Japanese dispatched army to Southeast Asia.”

Tang Qiuli suddenly realized, and said succinctly: "Oh, I understand," of course I understand, you Americans want to use the lives of Chinese soldiers to eliminate future hidden dangers for you Americans, without getting a little bloody yourself Taste, in the world, there is such a cheap thing, and dragging you Americans into the water is the purpose of my coming to Manila, otherwise, why am I in a hurry? "

How could MacArthur let go of such a good opportunity, and quickly said: "General Tang, the situation in Southeast Asia is very delicate. General Alexander's troops need to regain their strength, and General Brooks' troops are facing the same problems as our American army. The difficulty in transporting troops is difficult to solve across the natural barriers of the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.”[

"So, the one that is in the most favorable position at present is the general's army that is brave and good at fighting, and the Japanese are frightened by the news. In the name of the headquarters of the Allied Forces, I entrust this difficult task to the general's troops. Presumably, the general will not Let everyone here be disappointed?"

"Yes, to deal with our common enemy, the Japanese invading army, is the unshirkable responsibility of our North China Independent Division," Tang Qiuli agreed very readily, so readily that these people thought it was an illusion, and MacArthur never expected that in the In his opinion, this is the theme of the entire meeting and the only problem that needs to be solved, which is even more difficult.

He originally prepared beautiful language like diplomatic rhetoric to persuade Tang Qiuli to submit, but Tang Qiuli agreed without hesitation. MacArthur swallowed the words that came to his mouth, choking him. Hehe, quickly asked in an unbelievable tone: "So, General Tang, do you have any requests?"

After finishing speaking, MacArthur was ready to be slaughtered. This young Chinese who gave him an extreme headache was not a good talker. He fell into his own calculations so readily, and there might be some difficult conditions in it. .

Tang Qiuli said calmly: "There are only two requirements. One is that my troops will not accept the command of the Allied Army Headquarters during the battle against the Japanese army. The second requirement is that this meeting must form an agreement. , and it is an open agreement to the whole world to show the attitude of our allied forces towards the Japanese," Tang Qiuli looked at MacArthur quietly after finishing speaking.
