Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qin Wei's move was extremely insidious.  ??In the original history, Montgomery directly commanded or participated in commanding three major battles during World War II. He won all three battles, which is why he achieved a glorious military career.  The first battle, the Battle of El Alamein, the opponent was the "Desert Fox" Rommel!  In this battle, Montgomery cleverly deceived his cunning opponent, making Rommel think that the British army would not launch an attack and went back to Germany for vacation.  As a result, as soon as Rommel left, Montgomery attacked the Germans.  More than ten days later, he won the victory. Rommel's return could not save the defeat, so he could only lead his troops to retreat westward.  The Battle of El Alamein, the Battle of Stalingrad at the same time, and the Battle of Guadalcanal later became the iconic battles in which the Allies entered the strategic counteroffensive stage.  According to Churchill: "Before the Battle of El Alamein, we had never won a battle; but after the Battle of El Alamein, we were invincible." After the news of this battle reached London, the British nation rejoiced.  Churchill even ordered church bells to be rung, which had not been rung since the German attack on Britain, so that all the British would remember this great day.  In the second war, the Sicilian landing forced Mussolini to overthrow and Italy withdrew from the war.  The third battle, the Normandy landing.  The Allied counterattack on the European continent begins.  Among these three battles, Montgomery's most talked about is the Battle of El Alamein.  It was the first large-scale tank showdown in the world's history.  He defeated the famous Rommel in the German army.  Compared with the German army and Rommel, the Italian army may be a bit inconspicuous.  Therefore, Qin Wei believed that Montgomery could still defeat the opponent in front of him and successfully achieve the Allied strategic goal: seizing the Libyan oil fields.  It is obvious that the U.S. government hopes that MacArthur will lead and command this battle.  Although MacArthur only had 30,000 American troops in his hands, the number of British troops in Egypt had reached 230,000 at this time.  But the British need American support.  Therefore, once MacArthur can arrive in Egypt before the battle begins, he is very likely to gain final command.  It is undeniable that MacArthur is an extremely good military strategist. If he were to command the British and American troops in Egypt, there is a high possibility of victory.  But Qin Wei still hoped that Montgomery would win this battle.  Therefore, he wanted to delay MacArthur and allow MacArthur to arrive in Egypt before Montgomery officially launched the offensive.  In this case, no matter whether the Allies win or lose, the British and American armies will have great conflicts.  Failed.  With MacArthur's temper, he would definitely get angry.  He had already been defeated once in the Philippines, and was about to be defeated again in Egypt. Moreover, the defeat was "imposed" on him by the British. It would be strange if he was not furious.  And Montgomery is not a fuel-efficient lamp.  Although he is an extremely great military commander, he is also a master at shirking responsibility.  Just like the "Market-Garden Plan" that he vigorously promoted in history.  It was completely an inappropriate battle at the wrong place, at the wrong time.  The result of the battle was also a failure.  But he claimed to have achieved 90% of the planned goals.  In the end, all the blame was placed on Eisenhower.  Eisenhower was forced to take full responsibility.  Although Montgomery was already the most important military general in Britain at that time.  Churchill only used diplomatic means to protect him, but this does not mean that he will sit back and wait for death now.  Therefore, if he was defeated in Egypt, MacArthur would certainly not be able to escape.  And what if we win?  Montgomery's eyes have almost reached the top of his head. If he wins such a big battle, his chin will not reach the sky?  MacArthur still wanted to command him?  And MacArthur was by no means a person who swallowed his anger.  If Montgomery dared to show his face, he would definitely dare to slap him.  When these two people start to quarrel, it will be strange if the North African Allies don't get into trouble.  And this will inevitably further deepen the conflict between the two.  This in turn frustrated the Allied military operations.  Qin Wei hoped that the Germans could persist on the European continent longer and consume more of the power of Britain and the United States, making them unable to expand after the war.  Therefore, he decided to delay MacArthur's departure and create more and greater opportunities for conflicts between these two guys who were both high-minded.  Considering MacArthur¡¯s temper, Qin Wei decided to adopt the method adopted by Zhang Lingfu and others: confrontational exercises.  ********************************************* ¡°General, you are going to  Leave, logically, we should not make such unrealistic and impolite requests, but you also know what the virtues of soldiers are I told them that the current US military is no matter how equipped it is.  , The morale is still far from the usual state, even if we win, there is nothing to be happy about. Besides, you may not win. But it was my last words that pissed them off, look at it" Zhang Fa  ?? He didn¡¯t know what Qin Wei was up to, and he didn¡¯t dare to mess with it. Therefore, Qin Wei had to fly from Haikou to Guilin himself, where he met MacArthur who was recuperating on the bank of the Li River. He also brought the weapons he had obtained.  A lot of "letters of war": "All of them are unconvinced. I have to give your army a try" "General Qin, your enemy seems to be the Japanese. What's the point of fighting us?" MacArthur  Not so easily fooled.  And his treatment in China was not very good He thought he would be received by Chiang Kai-shek after he came to China.  As a result, Lao Jiang ignored him at all, and even these people in the Fourth War Zone didn't take him seriously.  He simply looked like he didn't take him seriously.  But now, Qin Wei actually came to the door again, and said he wanted to hold an exercise Who do they think they are?  Sparring partner?  "That's what I said, but our soldiers don't think so." Qin Wei pretended to smile bitterly, "Maybe I was too harsh when I criticized them before, which made them have a rebellious mentality." "If that's the case.  , then there is no need to conduct any exercises." MacArthur said calmly, opened the "letter of invitation" handed over by Qin Wei, took out the letter paper and spread it out.  It seemed that he was more interested in these petitions for war than Qin Wei, even though he could not understand Chinese characters at all.  "Is this old boy not fooled?" Before coming, Qin Wei thought carefully about how to start the conversation.  He deliberately mentioned that the soldiers had a rebellious mentality. He thought that MacArthur would ask what kind of rebellious psychology it was, so that he could expand the topic and bring out the contempt of some Chinese soldiers for American soldiers.  MacArthur's winning mentality.  But I didn't expect that this old guy was also very shrewd. He actually didn't pick up on him and directly characterized the so-called rebellious psychology as an irrelevant matter. It seemed that he had discovered that he had bad intentions here.  However, since Qin Wei has decided to "provoke the generals", of course he will not just let it go.  "Originally, it is indeed unnecessary. But I heard, General, that you don't want to go to Egypt, but want to stay in the Western Pacific to command the battle against the Japanese To be honest, our squadron has been fighting the Japanese for so long.  , I still have some experience, if your army is willing to conduct confrontation exercises with us, you should still be able to gain something." After thinking about it, Qin Wei said again.  "The only difference between us and the Japanese is the size of the troops and the gap in logistics. There is nothing else to pay attention to." MacArthur said directly.  "That's not necessarily the case." But it seems that this old guy doesn't intend to give me a chance at all.  Qin Wei found that he was also a bit rebellious.  If he didn't insist on facilitating this exercise before, now he has to try harder Since Qin joined the army, he has repeatedly set up traps and successfully succeeded. He doesn't know how many people have been tricked. Now,  How can we let this person named Mai get away alone?  "Not necessarily? Haha, it seems that you are very confident, General. But I am not interested in these" No matter what your purpose is, as long as I don't do what you want, I won't be fooled.  MacArthur was also a treacherous man.  He knew there was something wrong with this guy as soon as Qin Wei came. Otherwise, given the cold reception the other party always gave him, why would he come here in person and look like he was smiling evilly?  And he didn't find it interesting to engage in confrontation exercises with the Chinese ** team.  If it weren't for insufficient troops, insufficient logistics, and the Filipinos holding them back, would he have lost to the Japanese?  He would not give the Japanese such an opportunity a second time.  And in this case, why should he learn from the Chinese?  The Chinese are so poor that their style of play is simply not suitable for Americans, and it is of no use whether they learn or not.  "I am currently studying the terrain, climate, and environment of Egypt. Unfortunately, you have too little information hereGeneral Qin, can you help me find some?" Since he is unwilling to confront anything, MacArthur does not intend to do it again.  Give Qin Wei a chance to speak.  My brother is about to be sent to Egypt, and my group of people will also go with him. The situation there is what we need to pay attention to. You who are you?  "Of course." Qin Wei smacked his lips.  MacArthur's attitude was already clear.  And now that such a smart man has made up his mind, he really doesn't know what to say What should he say?  While he was hesitating, MacArthur suddenly handed a piece of letter paper to him: "General Qin, this is your petition for war? There are only eight words in total. What can it mean?" "This" He glanced at the letter paper.  Qin Wei's eyes lit up: "General, our Chinese is different from your English. Very few words can represent extremely rich meanings. Just like these eight words, their content is actually very rich. But I think you  It¡¯s better not to listen.¡±; "Really?" MacArthur smiled disdainfully, "Are you slandering us for being timid?" "No." Qin Wei smiled, "The content is very simple: How can a defeated general dare to speak bravely?"
