Age of Rebirth

Japan almost exhausted the whole country's power. It took several years to win Australia and killed hundreds of thousands of allied troops. No matter from that point of view, it is the top priority of Tianzihao, and it is worthy of special mention. , Moreover, the time to end the Australian war was five days earlier than General Ito's guarantee from the base camp!

It stands to reason that General Ito, as the commander-in-chief of the Australian attacking army, had to say tens of thousands of words in the victory telegram, explaining the process of capturing Australia to His Majesty the Emperor. How many sub-papers?

However, General Ito reported the news of the great victory that was enough to make the local people go crazy, and reported it to His Majesty the Emperor, and reported it to the base camp. Isn't it too simple?

Following General Ito, the senior officers who walked into the former headquarters of the Australian Allied Forces felt very uncomfortable and muttered to themselves, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, seems to be under suspicion of contemptuous of His Majesty the Emperor?"

The Chief of Staff, Major General Yamaguchi, also felt that the Commander-in-Chief's approach was inappropriate, so he reminded: "Commander-in-Chief, isn't the victory telegram too simple? At the very least, we should list some figures of the enemies wiped out and captured!"

General Ito shook his head, and said, "I know in my heart, so let's send it according to this meaning! Everything is over, and the eyes of the Emperor of Japan should not stay on the war that has ended!"

General Ito has his own plans. The Australian War is the focus of the entire {[-]}{this}read} novel yb][du Great Japanese Empire. It can be said that, apart from reporting the situation on the battlefield every day to the base camp, other mechanism.For example, the Intelligence Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army, which is directly under the Military Intelligence Bureau of the base camp, will also have a detailed report on the battle situation.Why do I need to elaborate?

By doing so, I will avoid the suspicion of boasting, and in the eyes of the local high-level officials, especially His Majesty the Emperor, I will have a good impression of being neither arrogant nor impetuous. Besides, my mind is no longer in Australia.But on the west coast of the United States at the other end of the Pacific Ocean, where is the place where I can create greater brilliance. "Commanding the Imperial Japanese Army to land in the United States, who can but me!" He has this confidence!

With General Ito's victory telegram sent back to Japan, this means that the Australian War ended in a disastrous defeat by the Allied Forces.this war.Over the course of two years, Japan has successively invested more than 130 million elite troops, and the Allied forces have successively invested nearly 100 million troops. Both the Allied and Japanese troops have more than 230 million soldiers, and they are deployed in an area of ​​more than 760 million square kilometers. On the land, more than two years of bloody fighting took place.

This campaign.The Allied forces successively lost more than 90 troops and more than 40 combat aircraft of various types.More than 40 tanks of various types and more than [-] artillery pieces of various calibers. In addition to more than [-] soldiers who died in battle, the remaining more than [-] Allied soldiers became prisoners of the Japanese army, including More than [-] generals and thousands of school-level officers.

After this battle, the largest strategic fulcrum of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific finally fell into the hands of the Japanese Army. The elite troops were completely lost, and the key points to contain the Japanese strategic heavy military group no longer existed. The biggest evil result was that, resulting in After entering the mainland of the United States, they were directly exposed to the soldiers of the Japanese army!

All the property of the British Empire, which had been operating in Australia for more than 200 years, fell into the hands of the Japanese, because the Allied forces on the second line of defense in northeastern Australia were defeated almost overnight. The resistance was also extremely weak. Therefore, the southeastern region of Australia, with the most concentrated industrial and mining enterprises and commerce, and the most complete industrial infrastructure, was not devastated by the war to a large extent, and fell into the hands of the Japanese almost completely intact.

As for the Japanese army, the number of casualties before and after was about 120. However, Japan continued to increase its troops on the Australian battlefield. By the end of the Australian War, the main force of the Japanese army attacking Australia, the Southwest Pacific Dispatch Army, still had about [-] million people. Moreover, it received a large number of heavy equipment discarded by the Australian Allied Forces and too late to destroy.

This batch of equipment was the most advanced equipment in the world at that time. Of course, it came from the military industry department of the Independent Division. However, it was Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, the head of the Logistics Department of the Independent Division, who was based in the East India region and sold it to the Allies for real money. Partially equipped.

No matter how you look at it, the Japanese's victory on the Australian battlefield was to swallow a large piece of oily fat in one gulp. The industrial system can be started immediately, and more than 50 Allied prisoners of war are the best unpaid labor.

The most complete and basically intact industrial system and sufficient unpaid labor can create value for the Japanese in the shortest possible time. In the future, Australia will become the biggest trump card to support the Japanese military expansion!

At this moment, Lieutenant General Bachlisman, the former commander of the Australian Allied Forces, who was already sitting on the troop carrier, bumping in the East Indian Ocean, was sending his nose and tears to the headquarters of the Allied Forces, which is the United States, with a painful heart. The Joint Chiefs of Staff sent a long telegram.

Compared with the victory telegram sent back to Emperor Hirohito and the base camp by General Ito, who won a big victory, Lieutenant General Bachlisman's telegram is quite long. He must explain the situation on the Australian battlefield in detail to the country. As well as the reasons for the failure of the Allied forces and the losses. In other words, I must give an explanation to the country. After all, Australia was lost during my tenure as the commander of the Australian Allied Forces!

Lieutenant General Bachlissmann not only wanted to give an explanation to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but also to the British. The British suffered the most in this Australian war. Not only did the supreme commander, Admiral Fernandez, commit suicide, All the family assets were lost, and the British soldiers who were ordered to withdraw to the West Indies with him totaled no more than 5000. That Prime Minister Churchill of the British government-in-exile, can he let it go?

Therefore, Lieutenant General Bachlisman must defend himself and emphasize the objective reasons for the huge loss of the Australian Allied Forces. Of course, the selfish decision made by himself and Fernandez at the beginning would not be unreserved. Although he is reflecting now, it may be the main reason why the second line of defense in northeastern Australia, where the Allied forces deployed heavily, collapsed overnight in the face of the Japanese attack!

Lieutenant General Bachlismann, who was filled with self-blame, pain, and anxiety, would never forget that he was like MacArthur who fled the battle. He despised this bastard who had been a deserter on the battlefield many times. At the same time, he also had If you think about your own ideas and lose the responsibility of Australia, you, MacArthur, don't even think about not taking the responsibility at all!

At this time, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, the commander of the Navy Fleet of the Independent Division, also sent a telegram to the division commander Tang Qiuli, reporting that the Australian war was over and that the troop transport fleet had brought back less than [-] Allied soldiers.

When Lieutenant General Bachlissmann's telegram arrived in Washington, USA, it was in the middle of the night. President Roosevelt, who barely fell asleep relying on sleeping pills, was woken up by White House Chief of Staff Joelna. Joelna knew the physical condition of the President. Retelling the content of Lieutenant General Bachlisman's telegram in full, he simply told Roosevelt the result of the Australian War, "The Allied forces were defeated and Australia fell!"

Under the dim light, President Roosevelt's eyes were empty and he didn't say a word. After a long time, he waved his hand numbly, signaling Jorna to go out. Jorna clearly felt that the candle of Mr. President's life had dimmed a lot.

The British Prime Minister Churchill was also in his sleep, and was awakened by the military secretary, who mechanically read Bachlissmann's telegram. Churchill could not hear the other contents. He only heard the last bit of the British Empire. Lost in Australia, the current British Empire really has nothing. Then, Your Excellency the Prime Minister snorted and fell into a coma!

In Tokyo, Japan, in Emperor Hirohito’s palace, although it was already dusk, senior military and political officials from the base camp and various government departments gathered in the large conference room. There were four to five hundred people in one hall. Such a large-scale meeting is rare in Japan. In history, it can be said to be very rare!

These high-ranking civil and military officials gathered together in groups of three or five, and there was only one topic they discussed excitedly. The Great Japanese Empire won the Australian War. These officials, with their own means, learned of this good news that made all Japanese people ecstatic through various channels!

Emperor Hirohito with an excited expression, like a bull in heat, was in another room with several confidants. Although he knew and firmly believed that the Japanese Imperial Army would eventually win the Australian War, Hirohito had no doubts about it. But when the victory really came, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Although no less than a dozen channels have reported the news of the Imperial Army's overall victory in the Australian War to himself, Emperor Hirohito still wants to see it with his own eyes. General Ito Gensaburo, who has made outstanding contributions, sent it in person The victory telegram!

General Ito's telegram came, but the content was so simple that everyone was surprised. However, Emperor Hirohito obviously appreciated it more. Then, the core topic of the meeting revolved around the specific direction of the next step of the Empire's dispatch of troops in the Southwest Pacific. up.

Obviously, the slight loss of the Australian army on the Australian battlefield gave Hirohito great confidence. At the same time, it also gave the Japanese military and political officials who participated in the meeting enough courage and ambition. General Mi Neiguang and Prince Zairen no longer held objections this time.

The meeting passed a decision in a one-sided situation. There are two strategic directions for the empire in the future. The main direction is to join forces with the Germans. The target is the army of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.

In the Australian War, the Japanese won at a small cost, and their ambitions were activated. Those fierce wolf eyes finally looked eastward, focusing on America on the other side of the Pacific Ocean!
