Chapter 2050 Cairo

In the battle of Jiangxinzhou, the Santai guerrilla column blocked the Japanese army's Nishio Shozo Department for more than five hours at the cost of more than 600 people, and eventually caused more than [-] casualties in the department, including more than [-] people who drowned. The news spread , Shocked the whole world, Xue Bingjun, Ouyang Yun, Hu Shisan, Santai Guerrilla Column, Mysterious Weapon, these words were repeatedly quoted by the media from all over the world. .

"Is it really just a guerrilla armed force?" Western media questioned.

"Shameless and despicable, they are obviously regular troops, but pretend to be guerrillas, and the most fundamental reason is that the Xuebing Army used a mysterious weapon," the Japanese media defended palely and angrily.

"Commander Fox is mighty! The Santai guerrilla column is mighty! The Xuebing Army is mighty! Long live Commander-in-Chief Ouyang!" The unanimous voice of all the media in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Xuebing Army.

"How did they do it? What is the novelty of the tactics? What is the mysterious weapon?" Generals of the Chongqing Military Commission have been discussing recently.

The next day, in Karachi, a telegram from Washington appeared in front of Ouyang Yun.The telegram was translated by Gu Lianyun. When Ouyang Yun read the telegram, she jokingly said, "Congratulations to Commander-in-Chief. In the eyes of Westerners, you have become the spokesperson of China."

Ouyang Yun put down the telegram, frowned and said, "It's not in line with international practice, why did I smell a conspiracy?"

Roosevelt called to invite Ouyang Yun to Cairo to attend a meeting to discuss matters related to the war against Japan, and British Prime Minister Churchill was also present at the meeting.Roosevelt and Churchill are both heads of state and can represent their respective governments, while Ouyang Yun is just a warlord in China, which really doesn't make sense from a legal point of view.

"I thought you would be overjoyed," Gu Lianyun still smiled.

Ouyang Yun shook his head with a wry smile, and said seriously: "You know me, if possible, I would rather go to a small island to live in seclusion. Call Shichang and Xiao Jiang over, this matter should not be careless."

Jiang Huangyong and Chen Shichang arrived soon. After the two circulated the telegram, Jiang Huangyong looked excited, while Chen Shichang was thoughtful.Jiang Huangyong grinned and said, "Sir, does this mean that our student army is capable of representing the entire Chinese military?"

Chen Shichang looked at Ouyang Yun and said slowly: "Since the Battle of Green Island, the Japanese army has lowered its military force in the Philippines and stepped up its offensive against Papua New Guinea. It is foreseeable that the US-Australian coalition forces will definitely not be able to stop the Japanese army's attack." With the pace, the landing of Japanese troops in Australia will become a foregone conclusion. The United States and the United Kingdom should want to ask our army for help and solve the remaining problems in the Philippines.”

The so-called legacy of the Philippines is actually that the United States is worried that the nearly [-] US-Philippine coalition forces will be completely entrusted to the cadet army.Among the more than [-] troops, more than [-] U.S. troops are being reorganized in Tainan, and the remaining nearly [-] U.S.-Philippine coalition forces are being reorganized in Mindanao, and the other part is under the command of Guo Da. Masaharu's troops battle in the central Philippine archipelago.According to the alliance agreement signed by the U.S. government and the cadet army, these U.S. Filipino troops belonging to the Far East Allied Forces Command will be paid for by the U.S. government, and the command authority will belong to the Second Expeditionary Army of the cadet army.The U.S. government agreed to establish the Far East Allied Forces Command. On the one hand, it was because the road to Australia was blocked. If the cadet army did not lend a helping hand, the entire Philippine department might be wiped out. It was a last resort.On the other hand, it is hoped that the Philippine battlefield can contain the main force of the Japanese Western Expedition Fleet, thereby buying time for planning a counteroffensive in Australia.However, man is not as good as God. After the Green Island naval battle, considering the high cost of maintaining the South China Sea transportation route, the Japanese army actually reduced the scale of its military deployment in the Philippines, and instead strengthened its offensive in Papua New Guinea.The Americans' strategy of diverting disasters to the east failed, and the remaining troops of the Philippine department became the life-saving straw they relied on to maintain the defense line of Ba-Australia.

The Japanese army stepped up its offensive in Papua New Guinea, directing its soldiers towards Australia. This strategy came from the current commander of the Western Expedition Fleet, Toshiichiro Koizumi.Koizumi Toshiichiro lacks commanding ability, but he is quite talented in the military and political construction of the occupied territories.It is precisely because he insisted on entering Southeast Asia as a liberator, and after driving away the Dutch and British colonists, he insisted on maintaining close contact with the local tribes, so after more than a year of development, he actually created a A retinue armed with considerable combat effectiveness.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Indonesian National Independence Army, both the British and the Americans dismissed it. However, as almost the entire territory of Papua New Guinea fell and the warships of the Western Expeditionary Fleet entered the Arafura Sea, the Americans were dumbfounded—these Armed yellow-skinned monkeys can actually defeat the tall white army.

After MacArthur returned to Washington, the U.S. government set about establishing the Pacific Allied Forces Unified Command. The fundamental purpose was to hijack the Far East Allied Forces Command. Therefore, as the counterattack base in Australia was in danger, they took it for granted that it was time to take back the command of the Philippine department. arrive.

Roosevelt’s original intention of calling the Cairo Conference was to build momentum for the Pacific Allied Command. He knew that the role of the Pacific Allied Command would be absolutely inseparable from the support of the Chinese government. To hijack the student army, so the initial plan was to invite Lao Jiang to the meeting.But the war situation in Southeast Asia is developing too fast, and the US-Australian coalition forces commanded by MacArthur are too ineffective. The result of the Battle of Jiangxinzhou made the Xuebing Army famous. After discussing with Churchill, he felt that inviting Ouyang Yun to the meeting was more in line with the Anglo-American The interests of the Far East of the two countries have given this invitation telegram.

When Gu Lianyun was still in the United States, the US government had rumors about holding the Cairo Conference. She didn't take it seriously at first, but now after listening to Chen Shichang's words and thinking about it, she immediately figured out some of the hidden problems .She first asked Chen Shichang a question about the Pacific Fleet: "Is our Pacific able to go to war?"

Chen Shichang nodded.

Gu Lianyun was very excited. She looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "Then go, I will go with you." Then she analyzed: "For the United States and the United Kingdom, Australia must not be lost. Regardless of other things, if Australia is lost, There is no place for them in the North Pacific. When I was in the United States, I heard that the British government is building a new Z fleet. If Australia is lost, the Z fleet will have no chance to enter the Indian Ocean. As for the United States, if Australia is gone, Those advancing islands in the North Pacific lost their barriers, which means that if the United States wants to return to Asia, it can only go to the Middle East. I don’t think the Americans will make this mistake. The US Army is not strong enough. Going to India is completely to relieve the pressure of the British, and the Americans are not so noble."

Ouyang Yun himself wanted to go, but he was worried that it would anger Chiang Kai-shek and the central government.He was frowning and weighing the pros and cons, when Jiang Huangyong said something, which made Gu Lianyun's face suddenly pale.
