Age of Rebirth

Lieutenant General Shelton, the director of the Operations Bureau, the personal representative of General Jeffrey, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, came to Yangon suddenly and brought a letter from his boss, imploring the independent division to follow the agreement signed by both parties However, assisting in the withdrawal of more than [-] Allied soldiers from the Australian battlefield posed a big problem for Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli imagined that the Japanese and Allied forces would have multiple endings in the Australian battlefield where the Japanese and Allied forces fought bloody battles for several years, but he did not expect that American President Roosevelt was so decisive, with the ruthlessness of a strong man to cut his wrists, and resolutely decided to abandon Australia. The largest and only strategic fulcrum of the United States overseas, and the horns of the mainland, restrained more than 150 million elite Japanese troops so that they would not rush to the mainland of the United States.

But now it seems that Roosevelt clearly foresees the fatal danger. The Germans and the Japanese definitely have the intention of attacking the mainland of the United States. The flames of war will soon burn to the land of the United States. It is unavoidable, but in the United States, in order to reinforce the Australian battlefield, almost all the elite soldiers are used. Only the hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers in Australia can provide a strong boost.

The hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers on the Australian battlefield were used by Roosevelt to protect the security of the homeland. The hundreds of thousands of Allied troops who have been baptized in the Australian war are obviously an important bargaining chip. Compared with the security of the homeland, Australia is second to none. When it comes to a secondary position, it is wise to reluctantly give up.

However, Tang Qiuli must not allow hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers to safely withdraw to the United States through his own hands, on the big chessboard of his strategy.The Japanese and Allied forces fought and fought desperately in Australia, which was a set step, but Roosevelt made this decision.However, there is an opponent missing on the chessboard, so how can we play next?

According to Lieutenant General Sheldon, on the day he arrived in Yangon, he decided on the important matter of the independent division and assisting the withdrawal of the Australian Allied Forces. In his opinion, it was too late.There is no problem at all, it is nothing more than a countercurrent along the original troop transport route to reinforce Australia.Moreover, the evacuation operation on the Australian battlefield does not trouble the Chinese, and the Australian Allied Forces Command will solve it by itself.

The original signed troop transport agreement.Didn't change anything.It's just that Tang Qiuli needs to provide enough ships and escort troops for the retreating Allied forces. Admiral Er has authorized himself to meet Tang Qiuli's request as much as possible in the matter of withdrawing the Australian Allied Forces.And to put it bluntly, this is what the President meant.Therefore, I am also prepared, waiting for this Chinese lion to open its mouth.

Lieutenant General Sheldon told Tang Qiuli without any concealment, "Dear Vice Chairman Tang, before coming to Yangon to see you, President Roosevelt of our country has authorized me to represent the US government and is willing to accept your proposal. any condition within the range,

But Lieutenant General Shelton, who was in a hurry, had no idea what Tang Qiuli was thinking. The Americans were eager to withdraw the Australian Allied Forces, but Tang Qiuli had to keep the Australian Allied Forces on the Australian battlefield. It's completely different from what the Japanese thought about the remnant soldiers and defeated generals who spent almost the same amount of time. Can this matter be negotiated immediately?

Obviously it is impossible, so Tang Qiuli first arranged for Lieutenant General Shelton, who was obviously impatient, to rest. Of course, the reason was very good. Hundreds of thousands of allied troops were going to evacuate at one time, and the transport ships needed were massive, and it would take a while To solicit, of course, this is a delaying tactic, but it is impeccable. Even if Lieutenant General Sheldon is furious, it is impossible for the Chinese to get thousands of troop carriers within a day or two.

After settling down Shelton, who was eager to run back to Roosevelt immediately, Tang Qiuli walked back and forth in the office by himself. The biggest problem right now was that he couldn't refuse the Americans. Request, where is the agreement in black and white? What's more, anyway, my identity is now a deputy commander in chief of the Allied forces.

If you do too much in the matter of Australia, you will first put yourself at a disadvantage. Of course, in the eyes of powerful countries and powers, the agreement is a fart and can be torn up at any time. , to send the Australian Allied Forces to the mouths of the Japanese, probably Roosevelt can only have the ability to talk, but he can't do that!

In case Roosevelt is driven to a dead end and his last thoughts are cut off, this old and cunning lame may compromise with the Japanese, and use the voluntary abandonment of Australia and even more interests as a bargaining chip to reach a settlement with the Japanese. Hitler exchanged interests and removed the threat from Mexico. Maybe the Americans and Japanese would join forces to deal with him. It is not absolutely impossible!

That’s what politics and national interests are all about. With the short-sightedness and greed of the Japanese, if the benefits of getting it are greater than the benefits of attacking the United States, the Japanese will really make peace with their opponents who are fighting to the death. Turn your head around deal with yourself.

Therefore, it is unwise to refuse the Americans' pleadings, and it is not a good idea to procrastinate. He muttered and complained, "Damn it! Lame Roosevelt is as slippery as a mud eel. Seeing that the situation is not going well, he immediately shrinks his head. This guy is hard to deal with!"

But there is one thing, no matter what, hundreds of thousands of Australian Allied soldiers cannot be allowed to withdraw to the United States after just shedding a layer of skin. Tang Qiuli had no choice but to call his cousin, the independent Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, deputy commander of the division and chairman of the Indochina Peninsula and East India Regional Military and Political Committee, Zhao Yu, the division chief of staff, and major general, found their office to discuss the matter.

After the two arrived, Tang Qiuli didn't talk nonsense, and posed his own problems. The core meaning was, "How can we make the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield fight almost as well as the Japanese army, and then we will rescue them, but we can't help them?" The prerequisite is that you don't show your face, and you must not reveal your intentions!"

It's hard, Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe racked their brains to think, for a while, the three of them didn't speak, and the atmosphere was very dignified.

However, Tang Qiusheng broke the solemnity. He thought about it and said: "Master, we can start from two aspects. On the one hand, we need to requisition a large number of transport ships for the 80 million Allied soldiers in Australia. This cannot be done in a short time. Yes, there is no rush, so we have a reason to delay, but the time cannot be too long!"

"On the other hand, is it possible to use the strategy of 'Jiang Gan stealing books' to disclose to the Japanese the information that the Australian Allied Forces are planning to withdraw to the West Indies and finally use it to protect the United States. With a two-pronged approach, even if the Australian Allied Forces withdraw in the end, they will still be defeated, and if they want to eat the whole of Australia, the price the Japanese will pay will not be small!"

"Jiang Gan steals the book!" Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up, especially for Tang Qiuli, who felt suddenly enlightened when he opened a side door to see the sun and the moon, so he asked with a sigh : "Okay, brother Qiusheng, wake up the person in the dream with one word, what a 'Jiang Gan steals the book!' Brother Qiusheng, just recommend who is the most suitable 'Jiang Gan'? This time we are 'Jiang Gan delivering the book' 'Not a thief!"

Tang Qiusheng smiled peacefully and said, "Master, Yu Deshui from the intelligence department is probably the best at this!"

Australia, where the Allied Forces Headquarters is located, after the secret order of the Allied Forces Headquarters was issued, the commander, American Lieutenant General Bachlisman, and the deputy commander, British General Fernandez, both looked at each other and looked at each other from the other side. In the eyes, there was a sense of relief and lightness.

Indeed, for the two top commanders of the Australian Allied Forces, since they received a telegram from the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Australian Allied Forces will not receive any reinforcements from the United States in the next four to five months. Moreover, after continuing to stick to Australia, whether it is Lieutenant General Bachlisman or General Fernandez, they are like mirrors in their hearts. I am afraid that the best outcome for the Australian Allied Forces is to die in battle.

Although the total strength of the Australian Allied Forces has reached more than 150 after repeated supplements and reinforcements, the total strength of the Japanese attacking army has also increased to about [-] million. The strengths and weaknesses of the two sides have not changed at all. .

Undoubtedly, the Australian Allied forces are still at a disadvantage of passive defense on the whole. If it hadn't seized half of the air supremacy, I am afraid that the second line of defense, which is now struggling, has collapsed across the board. This is still in the case of follow-up reinforcements.

However, the situation of maintaining the defensive position gradually deteriorated when the Japanese commander-in-chief Genzaburo Ito changed his style of play. The field airports and logistics supply lines in the rear were repeatedly destroyed and destroyed by the elite Japanese troops. , and even in important cities such as Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, wantonly carried out sabotage and assassination operations, spread rumors, and caused great panic to the rear of the Allied forces.

The rear is unstable, and reinforcements have been cut off. Because of the destruction of the small software unit, half of the air supremacy that has been obtained is gradually being lost. Everything on the Australian battlefield is known to Lieutenant General Bachlisman and General Fernandez. Resistance is nothing more than the last struggle, but both of them abide by their duties as soldiers, fighting to the end, even if they die in battle, they will not hesitate!

Now, the Allied Army Headquarters has issued an order to retreat, which is undoubtedly a desperate situation, but so far, the order to retreat is only known to two people, both of whom are generals in command of the army. Once the order is issued, it will have a great impact on the morale of the frontline soldiers, and it may lead to the defeat of the whole line.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Bachlisman and General Fernandez agreed to keep a secret and quietly start all preparations before the retreat. At this moment, hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers on the second line of defense in northeastern Australia are still Fighting hard with the Japanese army.
