Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lieutenant General Sheldon, the personal representative of General Jeff Field, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Director of the Operations Bureau, suddenly came to Yangon and brought a personal letter from his superior, imploring the independent division troops to follow the agreement signed by both parties.  , assisting in the evacuation of more than 800,000 Allied soldiers on the Australian battlefield, but it created a big problem for Tang Qiuli.

    Tang Qiuli imagined that the Australian battlefield where the Japanese and Allied forces fought bloody battles for several years would have multiple endings, but he did not expect that US President Roosevelt would be so decisive, with the strength of a strong man to cut off his wrist, and resolutely decided to abandon Australia. That was  The United States is the largest and only strategic fulcrum overseas. It is at the horns of the mainland and restrains more than 1.5 million elite Japanese troops from rushing towards the United States.

    But now it seems that Roosevelt obviously had a premonition of fatal danger. The Germans and Japanese definitely had the intention of attacking the United States from two sides. The war was about to burn on American soil. It was a war concerning the life and death of the United States.  It is inevitable, and in the United States, almost all its elite troops are deployed to reinforce the Australian battlefield. Only hundreds of thousands of Australian Allied soldiers 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 had been baptized by the Australian war were obviously an important bargaining chip. Compared with the security of the homeland, Australia ranked second.  When you reach a secondary position, although it is difficult to give up reluctantly, it is also a wise move.

    However, Tang Qiuli could never allow hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers to safely withdraw to the United States through his own hands, on the grand chessboard of his strategy.  The Japanese and Allied forces were fighting and fighting in Australia, which was a set step, but Roosevelt made this decision.  But there is one opponent missing from the chessboard. How can we play next?

    According to Lieutenant General Sheldon¡¯s wishes, he decided to make a decision on the independent division troops to assist the evacuation of the Australian Allied Forces on the day he arrived in Yangon. In his opinion, it was too late to delay.  There is no problem at all. It is nothing more than a countercurrent along the original troop transport route to reinforce Australia.  Moreover, the Australian Allied Forces Command will handle the evacuation operations on the Australian battlefield without disturbing the Chinese.

    The original troop transport agreement signed.  Nothing has been changed.  However, Tang Qiuli was needed to provide sufficient ships and escort forces for the retreating Allied forces. Before meeting the Chinese Vice Chairman Tang, who had served two terms in the US government and had a poor reputation, Jefferey  Admiral Er has authorized himself to satisfy Tang Qiuli's requirements as much as possible on the matter of withdrawing the Australian Allied Forces.  And to put it bluntly, this is what the President means.  Therefore, I was also prepared, waiting for this Chinese lion to open his mouth.

    Lieutenant General Shelton told Tang Qiuli without any secret, "Dear Vice Chairman Tang, before coming to Yangon to see you, President Roosevelt of our country has authorized himself, on behalf of the U.S. government, to accept your proposal.  any condition within the scope,

    But Lieutenant General Shelton, who was impatient, 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. Even if they finally withdrew, it would be  The Japanese had completely different thoughts when dealing with the nearly exhausted remnants of their defeated generals. Can this matter be negotiated immediately?

    Obviously it was not possible. Therefore, Tang Qiuli arranged for Lieutenant General Sheldon, who was obviously impatient, to rest first. The reason was of course very good. Hundreds of thousands of Allied troops were to be evacuated at once, and a huge number of transport ships were needed, which would take a while.  To recruit, of course, this is a delaying measure, but it is impeccable. Even if Lieutenant General Shelton is furious with anxiety, it is impossible for the Chinese to obtain thousands of troop transport ships within a day or two.

    After settling in Sheldon, who wanted to run back to Roosevelt immediately, Tang Qiuli walked back and forth in the office alone. The biggest problem at the moment was that he couldn't refuse the Americans at all.  Request, where is the agreement clearly written in black and white? Besides, no matter what, my identity is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.

    If you are too pretentious about Australia, you will first put yourself in a disadvantageous position. Of course, in the eyes of powerful countries and powers, the agreement is nothing and can be torn up at any time, even if you have shown your promise.  , to deliver the Australian Allied Forces to the mouths of the Japanese, Roosevelt probably could only have the ability to talk, but he could not do this!

    If Roosevelt is forced to a dead end and his last thoughts are cut off, this old and cunning cripple may compromise with the Japanese and use the initiative to give up Australia and even more interests as a bargaining chip to reach a reconciliation with the Japanese, and then  Hitler exchanged interests and eliminated the threat from Mexico. Maybe the Americans and Japanese would join forces to deal with him. This possibility is not absolutely impossible!

    This is what politics and national interests are like. With the short-sightedness and greed of the Japanese, if the benefits obtained are greater than the benefits from attacking the United States, the Japanese reallyHe will make peace with an opponent who is fighting to the death, and then turn against himself.

    Therefore, it is not wise to refuse the Americans' request, and it is not a good idea to delay it. It is the best way to cheat on someone behind the scenes. But no matter what, Tang Qiuli wandered around for a long time, but he still didn't have a good idea.  He muttered and complained, "Damn it! Crippled Roosevelt is as slippery as a loach. When he saw the situation was not good, he immediately shrank his head. This guy is not easy to deal with!"

    But one thing was that no matter what, hundreds of thousands of Australian allied soldiers could not be allowed to withdraw to the United States after just shedding a layer of skin. After thinking hard, Tang Qiuli had no choice but to make a phone call and ask his cousin to be independent.  Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, the division's deputy commander and chairman of the Indochina and East India Military and Political Committee, and Zhao Yu, the division's chief of staff and major general, found their offices to discuss the matter.

    After the two people arrived, Tang Qiuli didn't waste any time and laid out his problem. The core meaning was, "How can we make the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield almost equal to the Japanese army, and then we can rescue them? But  The prerequisite is that you must not reveal your intentions without showing your appearance!¡±

    "It's difficult. Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe racked their brains to think. For a while, the three of them were silent and the atmosphere was very solemn.

    However, Tang Qiusheng broke the solemnity and said thoughtfully: "Commander, we can start from two aspects. On the one hand, there are 700,000 to 800,000 allied soldiers in Australia. We need to requisition a large number of transport ships. This cannot be done in a short time.  There is no rush, so we have a reason to delay, but it can¡¯t be too long!¡±

    "On the other hand, is it possible to use the 'Chiang Gan Stealing Books' strategy to reveal to the Japanese the intelligence that the Australian Allied Forces are preparing to withdraw to the West Indies, and finally use it to protect the United States?  With a two-pronged approach, even if the Australian Allies withdraw in the end, they will be defeated, and if they want to take over all of Australia, the price the Japanese will pay will not be small!"

    "Jiang Qian stole the book!" Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up. Especially for Tang Qiuli, he felt as if he had opened the side door and saw the sun and the moon, so he sighed and asked.  : "Okay, Brother Qiusheng, please wake up the dreamer with a few words. What a 'Jiang Qian steals books!' Brother Qiusheng, please give me a recommendation. Who is the most suitable person to be 'Jiang Qian'? This time we are 'Jiang Qian' who sends books."  'Not a thief!"

    Tang Qiu Sheng 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, when the secret order from the Allied Forces Headquarters was issued, the American Lieutenant General Bahlisman, the commander, and the British General Fernandez, the deputy commander, looked at each other and looked at each other.  There was a sense of relief in his eyes.

    Indeed, for the two top commanders of the Australian Allied Forces, since receiving a telegram from the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Australian Allied Forces will not receive any reinforcements from the United States in the next four or five months.  Moreover, after continuing to hold on to Australia, both Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez are like a mirror. I am afraid that the best outcome for the Australian Allied Forces is that all the Australian allies will die in battle.

    Although the total strength of the Australian Allied Forces has reached more than 800,000 after repeated additions and reinforcements, the total strength of the attacking Japanese troops has also increased to about 1.5 million. The comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of the two sides is fundamentally unclear.  There has been no improvement.

    Undoubtedly, the Australian Allied Forces are generally at a disadvantage of passive defense. If they had not seized half of the air supremacy, I am afraid that the second line of defense that is currently struggling to support it would have collapsed across the board. This is even if there are follow-up reinforcements.

    However, the situation of maintaining a defensive situation gradually deteriorated when the Japanese Commander-in-Chief Ito Yanzaburo changed his style of play. The field airports and logistics supply lines in the rear were repeatedly destroyed and destroyed by small and capable Japanese troops. The lurking Japanese agents  , and even carried out wanton sabotage and assassination operations in important cities such as Sydney, Canberra, and Melbourne, spreading rumors, and causing great panic to the Allied rear lines.

    The rear was unstable and reinforcements were cut off. Due to the destruction of the small software force, half of the air supremacy that had been achieved was gradually being lost. Everything on the Australian battlefield, Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez, knew that the Allies were now  Resistance is nothing more than a last-ditch struggle, but both of them adhere to their duties as soldiers and fight to the end, even if they die on the battlefield!

    Now, the order to retreat has come from the Allied Forces Headquarters, which is undoubtedly a desperate situation. But so far, the order to retreat has only been known to two people. They are both generals who command the army. They know that under the current situation in Australia, retreat  Once the order is issued, it will have a great impact on the morale of the frontline soldiers, and it may lead to a complete rout.

    Therefore, Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez agreed to have a secret meetingAfter the announcement, all preparations for retreat were quietly begun. At this moment, hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers on the second line of defense in northeastern Australia were still fighting an arduous battle against the Japanese army.
