Chapter 2839 Unbelievable

On the one hand, he used the advantages of the traversers to firmly grasp the initiative of the negotiations, which made the Americans want to stop. On the other hand, Toshiichiro Koizumi entertained the prisoners of war of the US-Australian coalition generals headed by MacArthur in Singapore, and launched a psychological attack on them.

The defeat of Shepparton dealt a huge blow to MacArthur.Originally, victory was in sight, but the next moment he became a prisoner. The feeling of this cannot be understood without personal experience.It should be to understand MacArthur's mental state. At the beginning of contact, Toshiichiro Koizumi didn't mention anything about the war, but just entertained them to eat and drink or have fun.Moreover, it seemed that they really regarded them as friends, and took them to visit the arsenal and shipyard in Singapore.

What I have to admit is that Koizumi chose Singapore to settle down and use the whole of South Asia as a source of resources to build national weapons outside Japan's mainland. This move is really clever.No, although China has set up barriers everywhere, taking most of Sumatra Island, and almost approaching the city of Singapore, the Japanese army in Southeast Asia still has enough opportunities for development.Its strength has actually surpassed that of Japan to some extent.

After the defeat at Shepparton, MacArthur suddenly seemed ten years old.However, even though he was severely injured physically and mentally, he still kept his mind clear, and he could clearly see Koizumi's behavior.When his subordinates at night (for unknown reasons, Koizumi did not separate them, but put them together under house arrest) when discussing the intentions of the Japanese, he explained Koizumi's intentions in one sentence: "The Japanese should want to Make peace."

MacArthur's words shocked everyone. After the shock, there were some who were delighted and some who were worried, but overall, their tense heartstrings were relaxed. After all, this meant that they might not be executed by the Japanese.Of course, there are also doubters.

Faced with doubts, MacArthur explained: "The Japanese mainland is being attacked by the Chinese army. It is said that the Chinese army has used super bombs on Japan. As a result, many places in Japan have been killed and turned into barren land. Not only in Japan, but also in China. In the Northeast, the Japanese Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army are also facing the siege of China's superior forces - the confrontation between China and Japan will end in Japan's defeat. Think about it, if Japan's homeland is defeated, China may let Koizumi go Is it Toshiichiro’s Southeast Asian Japanese army? If China pours its entire country into an attack, will Koizumi Toshiichiro be able to resist it?”

"Then why does he want to attack Australia? If it were me, I would definitely choose to take back Sumatra and the northwest of the Malay Peninsula first—"

Because of talking too much, the blush on MacArthur's face quickly faded away, and the American old man closed his eyes and said in pain: "Two reasons can be explained-one, Japan needs Australia's iron ore; , Compared with the Chinese army, we are easier to fight."

Everyone fell silent.For soldiers, there is nothing more painful than this.That is, despite his great ambitions, his skills are not as good as others, and he can only be despised helplessly as a result.

"Will the government agree to Japan's request?" There was a moment of collective silence, and someone asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"Who knows," MacArthur suddenly looked dispirited, sighed, and said, "Toshiichiro Koizumi said they captured a total of 15 of us, 15!"

Everyone's faces were hot, and then they fell silent.

In the later stage of the Melbourne peace talks, Toshiichiro Koizumi released MacArthur and other US military generals first in order to show his sincerity.Before MacArthur left, he specially held a farewell banquet for him.At the banquet, he said to MacArthur: "General, you are a respectable and awesome opponent. I hope that the next time we meet, we will be friends instead of enemies. Otherwise, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

At this time, MacArthur and others already knew that the United States and Japan were negotiating, and he and the nearly 15 officers and soldiers captured were the fundamental reason why the government was forced to bow to the Japanese.It is the greatest disgrace to the soldiers that this happened.Of course, Americans believe that life is the only hope, so even if a fly is swallowed in the heart, MacArthur can only pretend to be a snake before he is truly out of the control of the Japanese army (MacArthur does not know, he will meet with Koizumi again soon, And then he will have no choice but to make excuses): "Thank you for your hospitality, if you have the opportunity, please come to the United States as a guest, then I will invite you to taste authentic Pinot Noir wine."

Koizumi Toshiichiro is quite complacent about using American prisoners of war to promote the US-Japan peace talks.One is his own wit, and the other is his grasp of the overall situation of the world (he even thought that as long as the United States successfully pulls the United States into the chariot against China, it can completely change the world structure of World War II, thereby winning the opportunity for Japan to rise again. Opportunity. As for whether it will succeed, he is not worried at all because he has 15 American prisoners of war in his hands).But he didn't want to think about it. From wanting to overthrow the United States to having to take the initiative to seek peace with the United States, he has actually abandoned his original ideal.This is already a typical villain's behavior of going back and forth.

Regarding the fact that the United States and Japan were conducting secret negotiations in Melbourne, the Chinese Central Intelligence Agency did not know until MacArthur and others were released.And because the intelligence agents in Australia couldn't provide any information about the negotiation at all, they didn't attract Mu Jiandie's attention, and naturally they didn't report it to Ouyang Yun.

Turning his attention back to the Chinese battlefield, after Ouyang Yun called the meeting with Zhang Shaoshuai, Li Tieshu and Shan Renxiong, the Chinese army immediately launched a large-scale military operation.And because of the deliberate abandonment of the Japanese army, in just two weeks, the Chinese army recovered most of Chahar, most of Rehe, and parts of Liaoning, and forced Jinzhou.

In Jinzhou, Zhang Shaoshuai's Eighth Army met the tenacious resistance of Okamura Neiji's North China Front Army. The two sides fought a decisive battle around Jinzhou. , Wisely chose to retreat, joined forces with the Kwantung Army of the three divisions that Yamada Otozo stayed in Anshan, and then defended the Anlian Liao defense line.

When Jinzhou was fighting fiercely, Changchun, Jilin, Ding Yi had already joined forces with Zhang Xuyun's troops, and they were immediately surrounded by superior Japanese troops.

According to Ding Yi's original thought, he wanted to single out the Changchun battle circle, so as to find opportunities on the periphery.However, because of the successive defections of small units of the Japanese People's Liberation Army in the subsequent Changchun defense battle, in order to prevent Changchun from falling into the hands of the Japanese army again, he could only choose to join forces with the Northeast Front Army of the Japanese People's Liberation Army under the command of Zhang Xuyun.

Ding Yi’s choice was of course forced by the situation, but other reasons were: [-]. The main force of the paratroopers led by Wang Changyun, the Mongolian Army and the Far East Army had already won the Harbin Battle and were advancing south; [-]. Li Tieshu’s Second Army was advancing Attack Dalian with the help of the East China Sea Fleet.As long as he persists until these two reinforcements arrive, the situation in Jilin and even the entire Northeast will be different.
