Age of Rebirth

General MacArthur heard the words of the chief of staff, Colonel Kleist, and was so angry that he wanted to go up and slap him in the face, and cursed inwardly: "This is a guy who can't support the wall. If there is something big, he is impatient. A letter The telegram from Australia is also worthy of you coming here early in the morning like a catastrophe is imminent?"

General MacArthur's face was full of displeasure. He interrupted Colonel Kleist and reprimanded loudly: "What do you look like? Soldier, the most important thing is to be calm and calm. Say, what is the content of the telegram?"

Colonel Kleist wanted to report the content of the telegram in one go, but was interrupted by His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief in the middle, and received a few reprimands. Hearing the general ask himself, he hurriedly said: "I just received an urgent call from General Fernandez, the commander-in-chief of the British and Australian forces. At [-]:[-] this morning, Australia was attacked by Japanese troops from multiple directions. By the time the report was sent, all ports had been closed. In the middle of a fierce battle!"

"Ah?" General MacArthur's head "boomed", as if hit by a bolt from the blue, his eyes turned black, and he was stunned for more than ten seconds.

When he reacted, he rushed to Colonel Kleist with unprecedented agility, snatched the telegram with his hands, and dropped his military uniform on the ground, almost tripping him. He completely forgot, just now He also taught his subordinates what it meant to be calm. [

When I opened the telegram, the lines of letters were like swimming tadpoles, blurry and unclear. General MacArthur wiped his eyes, "General Fernandez, Commander-in-Chief of the British Empire in Australia, urgently sent a telegram to General MacArthur, Commander-in-Chief of the Southwest Pacific Theater of the Allied Forces." At [-]:[-] a.m. today, more than [-] Japanese troops attacked Australia from different directions. In front of them, all the ports were in fierce battle."

"With the British and Australian troops stationed in Australia, there is no way to prevent a large number of Japanese troops from landing in Australia. Now, I request that the [-] British and Australian troops in Luzon Island be reinforced and return to Australia immediately. The military situation is urgent. I repeat. This is not negotiable. If Australia falls to the hands of the Japanese army, you and I, as well as hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers, will die and die!"

MacArthur's face was pale as if struck by lightning.Mouth half open, eyes staring straight.Completely petrified.The telegram slipped quietly from his hand.

Colonel Kleist was frightened by MacArthur's appearance, and hurriedly shouted: "Commander-in-Chief! Commander-in-Chief!"

MacArthur looked blankly at his chief of staff, his eyes were empty and blank, as if he was talking to himself, and he seemed to ask Colonel Kleist again: "Why is this happening? Why is this happening?"

Colonel Kleist was horrified to find out.Your Excellency the General's gaze was in a state of slack, and his entire spiritual world collapsed at this moment.He didn't know what to do. In fact, the moment he saw the telegram, he was scared out of his wits and felt like the end was coming.

"Dingling!" The phone on the cannon box rang quickly. Both MacArthur and Kleist seemed to have been awakened by a sudden shock, and MacArthur slumped on the marching chair all of a sudden. The phone rang tenaciously and thought about it several times before Colonel Kleist realized it.

With trembling hands, he picked up the phone, and just after listening to a sentence, he hurriedly covered the phone receiver and said, "Commander-in-Chief, it's Lieutenant General Wagnazer calling from Manila, and he wants to talk to you!"

MacArthur subconsciously took the call, and Lieutenant General Wagner's distraught voice was amplified several times, "General MacArthur, tonight Wagner, you must have received a telegram from Admiral Fernandez, so I will stop rambling and let you know immediately." The [-] British-Australian troops fighting in the Calais Mountains have withdrawn to Manila, and we want to return to Australia, and I hope you will not obstruct them with any reason or excuse, otherwise, I will personally report all the consequences to our government!"

Lieutenant General Wagner's words were not polite at all, that's right, whoever it was, would not be able to maintain the so-called calmness in this matter. He led [-] soldiers and ran all the way to Luzon Island to help The Americans fought the war, but as a result, the old nest was taken out by hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers, and everyone was in a hurry!

Chief of Staff Wagnazer knows Australia's military strength and defense situation in his heart. There are only more than 6 regular troops to defend so many ports. The strength of each port must not exceed 6000. Moreover, the most elite soldiers follow him I ran to Luzon Island to help the Americans fight the war. The remaining soldiers in the old nest have little combat effectiveness. The most frightening thing is that in addition to the defense of the port, there are only some semi-militarized places in the huge Australian inland. Garrison.

In other words, the whole of Australia has no in-depth military strength and defense deployment at all. Under the attack of more than 30 fierce Japanese soldiers, it is as fragile as an egg shell. The egg yolk was overflowing and broken into a mess, my God, what a terrible scene, Chief of Staff Wagner Ze was so anxious that the flames rose high.

He also understands that MacArthur is a veteran who harms others and benefits himself, and is used to playing tricks and tricks. He can do things like leave [-] British and Australian troops in Luzon Island under various excuses, regardless of Australia's safety, so, Chief of Staff Wagnazer has already made plans to tear his face with Commander-in-Chief MacArthur. If necessary, he will run to the front line of the Calais mountains regardless of the danger and take the troops away!

Fortunately, General MacArthur has not completely messed up his position, and he can clearly distinguish the severity of the matter. He also knows that Australia is the last retreat for himself and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If even the retreat is cut off by the Japanese, his end will definitely be miserable.

After calming down, MacArthur tried to keep calm and said: "General Wagner, this is bad news for any of us. Okay, I will order the British and Australian First Army and Second Army to withdraw immediately. The Laishan defense line will return to Australia as quickly as possible, and if necessary, all U.S. troops on Luzon Island will also reinforce Australia."

Chief of Staff Wagner, heaved a sigh of relief, secretly thankful that at the most critical moment, this scheming MacArthur was fairly knowledgeable, without even saying a polite word, put down the phone, Chief of Staff Wagner, with a few The staff officer hurried to the port to arrange ships. At the same time, he sent a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Fernandez, requesting the British Task Force in Australia to provide escort.

Putting down the phone, General MacArthur felt as painful as a needle prick in his heart. The muscles on his cheeks were twitching uncontrollably. He couldn't imagine how more than 30 Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared in Australia. , why didn't there be any warning in advance?

From the moment he saw Admiral Fernandez's telegram, MacArthur realized that he had made a huge mistake in sticking to his plan to defend Manila. He was even more stupid than a pig to send troops from Australia to reinforce Luzon It was decided that the fundamental purpose of the Japanese was not in Luzon, nor in me, MacArthur, but in Australia.

As long as Australia is seized, Luzon Island will be a dead end, but why didn't I think of this? At this time, Commander-in-Chief MacArthur is almost remorseful. The only thing he can do now is not to take Luzon Island. The Japanese soldiers drove down the sea, but how to escape from Luzon Island and safely withdraw more than 20 soldiers from Luzon Island to Australia. At this time, he already had the intention to retire. [

MacArthur cheered up, called Colonel Kleist, who was already the master of the six gods, and ordered: "Kleist, you rush back to Manila immediately, and collect all the ships to stand by. Remember, there must be one capable of transporting all of us at once. Soldiers' ships, this task must be completed within two days, Craster, this is a major matter involving our lives, if you cannot complete it, I will shoot you myself!"

His tone was gloomy, and Colonel Craster trembled. From the eyes of Commander-in-Chief MacArthur, he saw the ferocity of a gambler. Moreover, after losing the bet, he took out all his wealth and made a last-ditch, desperate ferocity. .

At around 25:[-] in the morning on August [-]th, Tang Qiuli was awakened by a rapid phone ringing. He gently let go of Mei Xue, who was snuggled up in his arms, sleeping like a kitten, and wrapped her around her again. Removed the beautiful legs on the waist, tiptoed down to the ground, and pulled the quilt for Mei Xue who was still in a sweet dream, at this moment, a soft voice came from the door of the bedroom, "Teacher, teacher, your phone! "

Tang Qiuli carefully closed the bedroom door, and made a silent gesture towards the special guard. The young special guard stuck out his tongue, a little embarrassed. When he arrived in the living room, a major staff officer on duty was already on the phone wait for yourself.

Tang Qiuli asked, "Where is the call from?"

The staff officer replied: "Report to the division commander. Chief of Staff Zhao called from the headquarters, saying that there is an emergency report!"

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli was a little surprised. The phone call from Zhao Yuhe Chenchen must have happened because of something important. Otherwise, Zhao Yuhe himself can handle ordinary things, and there is no need to alarm himself.

Suddenly, Tang Qiuli had a flash of inspiration. The British and Australian troops who reinforced Luzon Island had all landed the night before yesterday. Could it be that the Japanese army launched an attack on Australia?A lot of words on the Internet are counted according to time, which is very likely to be the case.

After answering the phone, Tang Qiuli said, "Yuhe, I'm Tang Qiuli, what's urgent?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Yuhe said with excitement in his tone: "Master, I just received information from the Intelligence Department that at 30:[-] am today, the Japanese Army dispatched troops to the Southwest Pacific Ocean with a force of about [-] , divided into several groups, and launched an attack on Australia!"

Tang Qiuli smiled slightly, and as expected, he said to Zhao Yuhe, "Yuhe, call all the staff from the staff office to the war room immediately, and I will rush to the headquarters immediately!"
