Age of Conquest Reborn

Analysis of Chapter 1097

Tang Qiuli suddenly changed his attention and asked Chief of Staff Chang Feng to immediately arrange to meet Alexander every morning, who was waiting so anxiously. Chang Feng did not fully understand what the division commander meant. According to the division commander's original plan, how many Japanese and British troops should there be?

In a large-scale battle, when the mutual consumption is almost the same, it is the best time for the ** division to send troops to Burma.

This involves extremely complex long-term strategic considerations. Tang Qiuli does not blame Chang Feng. As his chief of staff, he did not understand the meaning. As a person who has experienced history, no one can compare to Tang Qiu.

Li has a better understanding of the performance of the British on the battlefield in Burma. Historically, it has become a norm for the British troops in Indochina to surrender under the Japanese offensive.

Just in time, Mei Xue came out with two cups of steaming tea. Tang Qiuli asked Chang Feng to sit down and continued: "The Japanese army surrounded Mandalay with heavy troops and adopted the strategy of surrounding but not attacking. Ito Yanzaburo is obviously an extremely strategic man.

The Japanese commander and the more than 400,000 British-Burmese mixed troops are a large piece of meat that is fat and easy to swallow, but difficult to digest."

Chang Feng nodded, deeply convinced that more than 400,000 people were enough for the Japanese to swallow, and they would burst their stomachs if they went wrong. Tang Qiuli continued: "There is a saying in the art of war: surround them five times, and annihilate them ten times.

Ito Genzaburo surrounded more than 400,000 British Burmese troops with more than 500,000 troops. He could not prevent the British from being desperate and fighting hard. Such casualties were what Ito Genzaburo did not want to see."

"So, Ito Genzaburo wanted to subjugate the enemy without a fight and force the British to surrender. The Japanese army would capture Mandalay without a fight. The British army would lose all its troops and its power would be uprooted. The overall situation in Indochina would be settled. What follows?

, this is our trouble." After Tang Qiuli said these few words, his vague worry was palpable.

Chang Feng didn't understand even more. The Japanese army killed the British for us. Doesn't that just fit in with the division commander's strategic intention? How could it be trouble? Tang Qiuli saw Chang Feng's doubts. He must make his strategic plan today.

, let Chang Feng take full control, and it is imperative for the ** division to send troops to Indochina and Southeast Asia.

In the future, battlefields will be spread across Southeast Asia and even every corner of the South Pacific. With Chang Feng's abilities and talents, he will inevitably serve as a commander in the main strategic direction. Understanding his own deployment will be beneficial to him from the perspective of the overall situation and mastering the situation.

It is also beneficial to his growth.

He went on to say: "The British and Burmese troops all surrendered and the more than 400,000 prisoners of war, of course, will not be killed by the Japanese. Then, after we annihilate or defeat the Japanese army in Indochina, these British prisoners of war will be our burden. Of course,

It’s not about material supplies. What will we do after we take in these British prisoners of war?”

Chang Feng somewhat understood that if the Japanese did not kill the British prisoners of war, the Japanese division would not do such a thing that would make people and gods angry. He looked at his division commander with focused eyes and felt that what the division commander said today was in his heart.

A door to the future was opened, and the general outline of the entire Southeast Asian strategic pattern was ready to emerge in his mind, and it became increasingly clear.

Tang Qiuli continued: "The more than 400,000 British prisoners of war in our hands are the British military force left in Southeast Asia. Although they are unarmed captive soldiers, according to the Allied Treaty, the prisoners of war rescued by the Allies can be

Locally organize and arm them into combat troops of their respective countries."

"In this way, the British power actually still occupies the Indochina Peninsula and Southeast Asia, and their military power has not been exhausted. Can we expel or eliminate the British army while fighting the Japanese? It is obviously unrealistic.

, will go around

To make enemies, wouldn’t it mean that we fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army, annihilated the Japanese in Indochina, and allowed the British prisoners of war to get a big advantage. This was a matter of making wedding clothes for others. Therefore, a war must occur in Mandalay. This

It’s what we need.”

Chang Feng suddenly realized and said: "Commander, I will make arrangements immediately." Through a long conversation with the commander, Chang Feng's thinking has jumped out of the battlefield of Indochina and put it into the larger scope of Southeast Asia to consider issues. At the same time,

He felt a great sense of harvest. What he gained was not just Mandalay's problems, but his own way of thinking, which he was also quietly making changes.

After Chang Feng left, Tang Qiuli said to himself: "Ito Yanzaburo had a good plan. If the British and the Japanese did not fight a bloody battle in Mandalay, biting each other until the flesh was exposed and the blood was flying everywhere, how could it be possible?

Don't you give them an advantage?" After saying that, a vicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked evil and proud.

Just when Mei Xue came out, she saw her husband's smile and felt a chill. She guessed who he was plotting against again and couldn't help but said angrily: "What are you planning again? The British are in trouble again, right?" After that,

Carefully taking off a broken leaf from his body, Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "The one who knows me is Secretary Mei!" He put his arm around his wife's slender waist.

Chang Feng found Chen Cheng and told him to inform Alexander and Stilwell that at nine o'clock every morning, division commander Tang Qiuli would discuss matters related to sending troops to Burma at the Tengchong headquarters of the ** Division. To Chang Feng's surprise,

Chen Cheng was not as surprised as he imagined, but rather ridiculed in a somewhat meaningful way.

Chang Feng remained calm and looked at the Minister of the Military Command Department of the Military Commission who came on behalf of Chairman Chiang with calm eyes. Chen Cheng must have been forced to eat by both Alexander and Stilwell in the past few days.

After a lot of mistakes, the anger in his stomach was too great. Now, the god Tang Qiuli finally agreed to show his face. Without provoking Chang Feng a few words, he really couldn't swallow this futile air.

Furthermore, the British were made dumplings by the Japanese army in Mandalay. I am afraid that even if Tang Qiuli sent troops immediately, it would be too late. The British army was wiped out. It is not yet known whether Tang Qiuli will send troops. Using the British and

It is difficult for the Americans to achieve their goal of suppressing Japanese troops in Burma and consuming the Japanese army. Since they have nothing to seek, they have nothing to fear.

Chen Cheng smiled, and said in a somewhat sinister tone: "With all due respect, Chief of Staff Chang, Vice Chairman Tang probably did not go to Nanning to inspect the troops, but was always in Tengchong, right? Such neglect and contempt for the supreme commander of the Allied Forces.

, is there any suspicion of disrespect and contempt for the boss?" After saying that, he stared at Chang Feng with a falcon-like gaze to see how he would answer his tricky question.

Chang Feng frowned and said sternly: "Minister Chen, you have no right to interfere with the specific itinerary of our division commander. In terms of affiliation, as a direct subordinate of Vice Chairman Tang, you can speculate on your boss's whereabouts like this, and,

If you make sarcastic remarks, are you suspected of committing the following crimes? "

"All the troops of the ** Division have not received any notice or order and are not under the control of the Allied China Theater Command. Therefore, there is no superior-subordinate relationship with General Alexander and General Stilwell. Both parties have equal status. As for

Whether we, the teacher, meet someone, it is not up to others to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks."

Chen Cheng's face turned blue and white for a while. Chang Feng's words were rude and he didn't save any face for him. He also told him clearly not to talk about the British and Americans. These two foreigners still don't care.

Our first division was not there. Moreover, Chang Feng's words are reasonable. Tang Qiuli did not receive any notice or order about the change of affiliation of various troops in the Chinese theater.

It was unclear whether Chairman Jiang wanted to disgust Tang Qiuli, or whether he had some secret in his heart and did not dare to issue orders to the military commander through normal channels. Chen Cheng was speechless, and then he realized that this

For several days, I had been dealing with the gentle and polite young major general, who was more confident and sharp than ordinary people.

Chen Cheng was very embarrassed. He deeply regretted that he was somewhat irrational. If Tang Qiuli caused trouble for him, it would not cost him his life, but it would still be a very uncomfortable thing.

Down there, the person who is prospering is someone who is not quick-witted, has the ability to adapt to the wind, and is quick to blink.

Chen Cheng put on a smile at that time and said to Chang Feng without mentioning what he had just said: "Okay, Chief of Staff Chang, I will inform the Allied Commander right away. Also, please tell Deputy Commissioner Tang

Chairman, we must put national affairs first. The British and Americans are our allies in resisting Japanese aggression. Of course, this is Chairman Chiang’s intention. I am just conveying it."

After saying that, he left in a hurry, somewhat embarrassed. Chang Feng sneered, Chen Cheng came to find a place for the British and Americans, and brought some evil anger to show his dissatisfaction, and used your little tricks to hide it.

But the pride in my eyes shows that Chang Feng is a young man with a lot of personality, so why should I be polite to him?

The next day, Alexander and Stilwell arrived early at the Army headquarters in Tengchong, a manor of a wealthy family. After being welcomed in by Chang Feng, as soon as they sat down, Alexander stretched his neck and kept looking out.

Looking anxious, Chief of Staff Francis sent him a telegram last night.

The Japanese army did not launch an attack on Mandalay. This is a rare opportunity. We also hope that the Commander-in-Chief can reach an agreement with the Chinese to send troops to Burma as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for us. This telegram made Alexander's heart

, I feel a lot better. At least, the Japanese haven’t killed me yet, and there is room for redemption.

Alexander has made up his mind. This time, no matter what request Tang Qiuli makes, he will agree. As long as he rescues more than 400,000 soldiers, which is his capital in Southeast Asia, Alexander will make any concessions and get ahead of the current situation.

Let’s talk about the difficulties.

Tang Qiuli arrived, with Shan Hu alone by his side. Looking from a distance, he looked calm and unfazed. Alexander, Stilwell and Chen Cheng, three pairs of eyes with different meanings and emotions, immediately stared at him.
