Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli was obviously a little surprised by the phone call from Zhang Quan, the head of the logistics department. Last night, at his home, Zhang Quan was gnashing his teeth to drive Taurman and Sikodias away, but overnight, the British and American envoys cried He shouted to see Zhang Quan, and agreed to all the requests. Unlike Zhang Quan who was very excited, after putting down the phone, Tang Qiuli felt that there must be a reason for the sudden change of things!

Before he could figure it out, the special guards came in to report. The chief of staff Zhao Yuhe, the director of the communications department Chen Feng, and the director of the intelligence department Yu Deshui asked to see the teacher. Is it about attitude?Net many words

Three people entered Tang Qiuli's office. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe first said: "Master, the situation on the Luzon Island battlefield has changed. Director Yu, please report to the commander!"

Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, took out a telegram and said: "Master, according to the information we intercepted, at around [-] o'clock in the morning today, MacArthur took two planes and left Luzon with his family and female tutor." Island, the destination is the British-Australian control area in Australia. "

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows in surprise. The tens of thousands of troops were still fighting hard against the Japanese army on Luzon Island. MacArthur, the supreme commander in chief, went to Australia. No matter what the reason was, It will have a fatal negative impact on the morale of the US-Philippine soldiers defending the Manila defense line. MacArthur's approach is different from fleeing the battle, which is a capital crime! [

Tang Qiuli shook his head in disbelief, and asked Yu Deshui, "Director Yu, who is in command of the US-Philippines army now? How is the battle going on at the Manila defense line?"

Yu Deshui replied: "Master, according to the information obtained by our intelligence personnel, MacArthur gave the order on the plane to hand over the command to Brigadier General Jonathan, commander of the US Seventh Mechanized Infantry Division, and appointed Brigadier Jonathan to be the commander in chief of the Manila defense line." The military rank was also promoted to major general, and Colonel Kleist, the acting chief of staff of the Southwest Pacific Theater Headquarters of the US military, was appointed as the commander of the Manila City Garrison, and the military rank was also promoted to major general.”

"As for the battle situation on the Manila defense line, it is quite unfavorable to the U.S.-Philippines army. The No.14 Army of the Japanese Haruta Yoshihiko and its affiliated troops stormed the U.S.-Philippines defense line for several days, causing great casualties and pressure on the U.S.-Philippines army. The defense line has been breached in many places. The U.S. and Philippine troops have used all their combat reserves to barely block the breach. According to the current situation, Manila will surely fall within a week. This has not yet affected MacArthur's escape to Australia. count!"

Tang Qiuli quietly listened to Yu Deshui's report without any comment, but said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, according to your judgment, the British and American envoys suddenly asked to resume negotiations, whether to flee with MacArthur or not?" About Manila?"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he replied with a smile: "Master, it is certain. Although MacArthur is arrogant, commanding and fighting is lacklustre, and his behavior is very dirty, but after all, in the Southwest Pacific The war zone has been in operation for many years. His existence is the reassurance of the American and Philippine soldiers. Once the news of his escape from Luzon Island spreads among the soldiers, it will take away the last bit of energy of the American and Philippine soldiers!"

"The Manila defense line will collapse, and it will collapse without a fight. The reason is very simple. The supreme commander-in-chief has run away. Do ordinary soldiers still have the intention to work hard? I guess, the top US military has already heard the news and decided to Orders to strictly block the news of MacArthur's flight to ordinary soldiers, but how long can this bad news be held? They are more anxious than us, so it is not difficult to explain why the British and American special envoys suddenly changed their attitudes!"

Tang Qiuli applauded and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Okay, this is an opportunity, Yuhe, you go to see Uncle Quan immediately and tell him that our conditions can be improved appropriately. It can be used for nothing, MacArthur's hasty escape has brought us benefits, but I don't know how Roosevelt will react when he hears the news?"

Zhao Yuhe left with a look of excitement on his face, and Tang Qiuli said to Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, and Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department: "Director Chen, let Le Yiqin, all the troops of the Southern Flying Group, prepare to take off immediately. I’m afraid the Americans can’t wait for the preparations for the launch! In addition, pay attention to receiving the contact signal of the US-Philippines on Luzon Island, Director Yu, you should rush back to the intelligence office immediately and closely monitor the battle situation on Luzon Island.”

Chen Feng and Yu Deshui left, only Tang Qiuli was left in the office. He cast his eyes on the sunny sky and shook his head in disbelief. No matter how he changed the course of history, at certain stages, history is still stubborn Continue to move forward in accordance with the original direction.

Historically, more than 20 days after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the main force of the Japanese army landed in Lingayin, Luzon Island. On the same day, the Japanese army landed in Artimonan, and then launched a concentric attack on Manila. While fighting the Japanese army desperately and defending Manila, MacArthur took his wife and governess, left hundreds of thousands of bloody soldiers, and fled to Australia in a hurry, carrying a large number of gold and silver treasures and cultural relics .

Two months later, Manila fell, and more than 7 American and Filipino soldiers were captured. The Japanese army brutally treated the American and Filipino prisoners and forced them to carry out a "death march" from Bataan to the Capas Concentration Camp in Tarak Province. , About [-] Filipino soldiers and thousands of American soldiers died on the road. This is the famous Bataan Death March in the history of World War II. More than ten thousand people.

General MacArthur, who left hundreds of thousands of soldiers and fled to Australia, was not punished by the U.S. military. The commander-in-chief of the army, commanding the army, navy and air force including the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and other countries and regions, with a strength of more than [-] troops.

In this regard, later generations of World War II historians were puzzled, including Tang Qiuli, who could not understand the appointment of President Roosevelt. If we talk about the strength of the US military in the Pacific region in the middle and late stages of World War II, it can be said that it is like a cloud, not the United States. Admiral Nimitz, commander of the Pacific Fleet, Rear Admiral Hasir, commander of the fast aircraft carrier formation of the US Pacific Fleet known as the "Bull", and Lieutenant General Fidello, commander of the Sixth Army of the US Army. A large number of army and navy generals can be alone.

In later generations, whenever Tang Qiuli saw the history of the Pacific War in World War II, he would cover his eyes and sigh, "It can only be said that MacArthur got lucky and fell into the eyes of President Roosevelt. He just left the army. The act of escaping alone, in other countries, has long been sent to military courts, but this guy just went straight to the sky. When the Japanese were beaten to death by Nimitz, he commanded the troops triumphantly and landed in the Philippines. With little effort, he earned the halo of honor of a famous World War II general."

It's just that history is repeating itself this time. The United States is far from what is recorded in history on the Pacific battlefield. There is still room for retaliation. Australia has become the only place to save life. What kind of measures will the old and cunning politicians take, whether they will use MacArthur's head to boost the morale of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the US and Filipino armies? Let's wait and see for ourselves!

On the morning of August 28th, Washington, USA, the White House, the Office of the President, and all the senior members of the U.S. wartime Supreme Command gathered here to shine the stars and gather high-ranking officials. These people are the key to determining the national policy and destiny of the United States sex character.

However, the faces of these big bosses who are usually high above and full of confidence are definitely not good-looking. There is only one reason, two urgent telegrams from Luzon Island, and one was ordered in danger and was forced by MacArthur on the fire. Roasted, from Brigadier General Jonathan, former commander of the [-]th Mechanized Infantry Division in the Southwest Pacific Theater of the U.S. Army, and now the commander-in-chief of the Manila Defense Line.

The other letter was sent by Colonel Kleist, the former acting chief of staff of the headquarters, who was a close friend of General MacArthur and who obeyed his boss, and is now the commander of the Manila City Garrison, Major General Kleist.

The two telegrams reported the same astonishing news, "The National Wartime Supreme Command and forwarded to Your Excellency the President. At around 10,000 o'clock this morning, General MacArthur, Commander-in-Chief of the Southwest Pacific Theater, suddenly flew out of Luzon Island. Beforehand, the General There is no explanation for the arrangement of the war. We have no knowledge of it. We have just received our appointment, because it is related to the battle situation in Luzon Island, and it is related to the future and fate of [-]+ US and Philippine soldiers. Report this emergency!" [

Brigadier General Jonathan and Colonel Kleist are wise. Seeing the appointment telegram sent from the plane by Commander-in-Chief MacArthur, they were promoted and promoted. The two of them definitely did not feel the excitement of being hit on their heads by luck. It was a cold breeze on the spine, a burst of fear, and Qiao Busen and Kleist, who didn't have much contact with each other, let alone friendship, came to the same conclusion with a tacit understanding in two different places, "I Being made a scapegoat by General MacArthur!"

None of them are fools. Considering the current level of corruption in the battle situation in Luzon Island, the Manila defense line is in jeopardy, and the entire line may collapse at any time. More than [-] Japanese soldiers with high morale are madly attacking the Manila defense line. Maybe tomorrow morning, the Japanese soldiers will rush. Entering the urban area of ​​Manila, even God cannot change the situation of the battle.

Brigadier General Jonathan and Colonel Kleist, full of bitterness and anger, did not accept orders in the face of danger, but accepted a hot potato, or even a big bomb that might explode at any time.
