Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1,154 MacArthur appears

In the Indochina Peninsula of Myanmar, the Japanese Army and the Japanese Army faced each other across the Libao Grand Canyon. The situation remained relatively stable. It seemed that neither Tang Qiuli nor Ito Yanzaburo wanted to break this delicate balance. Although with Li Honggang's 20th

The Ninth Corps has joined the Ubin front line. The strength of the ** Division in Myanmar has exceeded Ito's current strength...

It really made Ito's nervous palms sweat, but after waiting in fear for more than ten days, there was no movement at all from the doctor's side. Perhaps this subtle calm was what Ito hoped for, and was deliberately created by Tang Qiuli.

After coming out, the Feng Jiwu Corps and the Ma Chaoyang Corps in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula were still advancing unhurriedly towards Mandalay in central Myanmar according to the scheduled plan, which also caused Ito to be highly nervous.

After all, it was not an imminent threat. Therefore, in addition to urging the local supplementary troops and equipment to arrive as soon as possible, Ito stepped up training with the existing troops in the Mandalay area, especially for the geographical conditions and climate environment of Indochina.

After undergoing adaptive training, Ito made up his mind to fight against Tang Qiuli's troops again and would never make similar mistakes.

In this frozen calm, in mid-August, the Chinese army and the Japanese army were in a stalemate of no war, no peace, no fighting, no trouble, but the Americans on the other side of the South China Sea

So anxious, MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Southeast Asia and South Pacific Region, was the most anxious American general.

Unlike the stubbornness and prejudice of the British, Americans are thorough pragmatists. All political and war actions are for the United States' own interests. The American generals understand the essence of it. Although the relationship between the United States and Japan

, there are huge trade benefits, but in the eyes of US policymakers, Japan is not even a trading partner.

It's just that each takes what he needs. Therefore, in Southeast Asia, there is a huge Japanese military power, which makes MacArthur, Stilwell and other American generals feel like a thorn in their backs and throats. The British were beaten to a pulp by the Japanese.

At that time, the Americans did not take action. On the one hand, they certainly did not want to take advantage of the British and lose huge trade profits with Japan.

On the other hand, they are coveting the Indochina Peninsula, the traditional sphere of influence of the British. They use the hands of the Japanese to disrupt the situation in Southeast Asia. In order to end the situation of the two heroes of the United States and Britain coexisting in Southeast Asia, they are watching from the other side and watching the British withdraw from the Indochina Peninsula in despair.

, who would have known that Tang Qiuli would appear on the way.

That's fine. MacArthur was secretly happy. It was in the best interests of the United States for the Chinese and Japanese to fight each other in Indochina. When the time came, the Americans would step in to clean up the mess, and they would naturally reap the benefits. Therefore, the Japanese invaded Japan.

troops in Myanmar

After a series of large-scale battles with the Japanese troops under Ito's command in the north, MacArthur and other senior U.S. military generals followed the war in northern Burma with excitement and expectation. It would be best for both opponents to suffer losses and fall.

Unable to get up.

In MacArthur's eyes, both the Chinese and the Japanese are just pawns that can be used. In his heart, the Japanese are even more important than the Chinese. After all, Japan is a latecomer.

An industrial country, it was once a member of the international gangster club, and its strength cannot be ignored.

China, on the other hand, has been weak for hundreds of years and has been brutally cut apart by the big powers. It is nothing more than an extremely weak giant. Thinking of this, MacArthur snorted from his nose and ordered the general staff to collect all the intelligence on the war in northern Burma.

He compiled one copy every day and gave it to himself. As the war in northern Burma progressed, especially when the Japanese Army defeated the Japanese in Wubin, MacArthur's brows became more and more frowning.

He couldn't understand why the Japanese suffered such a huge defeat at the hands of the poor Chinese, despite the strength and equipment of the Japanese army, as well as the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, who could defeat the British. Although the intelligence was very detailed, he still couldn't see through Ito

How did it fail? Moreover, this is not in line with MacArthur's vision. In Indochina, whether the Chinese or the Japanese are the dominant family, it is a phenomenon that he does not want to see.

Regarding Tang Qiuli, MacArthur said to Stilwell: "Dear General Stilwell, Tang Qiuli who defeated the Japanese should be an anomaly among the Chinese. His Battle of Wubin contained a lot of luck.

The reason why the Japanese failed was because they were too careless. What do you think of the Chinese victory?"

Stilwell, who had met Tang Qiuli once, did not think like MacArthur. On the night when the ** division troops entered Myanmar, he witnessed with his own eyes the strong morale of the ** squadron, the fighting spirit of the rainbow, and the incredible

equipment, this battle, Stilwell thought it was normal for Tang Qiuli to win.

Stilwell smiled and said cleverly: "General, I met Tang Qiuli once in Tengchong in western Yunnan. This most powerful general who has emerged in China left a very deep impression on me. Let's put it this way.

, he and his army can create any miracle, of course, including fighting with our American troops, I have to remind the general that this Tang Qiuli must not be ignored!"

MacArthur was very dissatisfied with Stilwell's words. He felt that this Texan boy was alarmist and exaggerated. How much could a Chinese do? At best, he was just an ambitious warlord. These words, in MacArthur's mind,

It didn't leave any impression at all. Your Majesty General, you have so many things to do, why bother bothering a little Chinese person.

But after August, as the war situation in Myanmar became incomprehensible, the Chinese and the Japanese seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. No one wanted to break the deadlock. Nearly a million soldiers on both sides were doing nothing.

During the confrontation in Burma, MacArthur's contempt and understanding of Tang Qiuli turned into extreme anger.

In MacArthur's view, such a situation is definitely not in the interests of the United States, and most importantly, his own. The Chinese should attack, continuously attack, and expel the Japanese from Indochina and even Southeast Asia. At the very least, they should be weakened to the maximum extent.

The Japanese had the ability to initiate war. As for why it was the Chinese who had to attack the Japanese army, MacArthur believed that this was a matter of course.

In fact, there was a deep fear hidden in MacArthur's heart. He could look down on the Chinese, but he would never ignore the Japanese who killed the British. Japan, this fat and strong little fighting dog, knocked over the Japanese.

With the British deeply entrenched in Indochina, who can guarantee that Ito, who cannot win against the Chinese, will turn around and follow the same pattern as he did against the British in the South Pacific?

At present, MacArthur's strength in the South Pacific is not as good as that of the British. He has only more than 300,000 troops. Among them, there are less than 100,000 real American soldiers. The rest are Filipino and Indonesian soldiers. God will

Do you know if the Japanese really come to attack, will these indigenous soldiers have the courage to shoot?

MacArthur was unsure. Judging from his many years of experience living in the East, as the French surrendered on the European battlefield and the British retreated to the British Isles, they were in a state of being beaten. The Germans had occupied most of Europe. As Germany's allies

How can Japan be willing to be lonely? When the war in mainland China has no effect, it is inevitable to use troops in Southeast Asia.

This aggressive country has already attacked the British. So, will the next target be the Americans? It depends on the victory or defeat of the Japanese fighting the Chinese in Indochina. Therefore, it is taken for granted that there is no card.

, the Chinese must fight with the Japanese, and it is best for both sides to suffer losses. This is what best suits my wishes. Other book friends are reading:.

However, there is one problem that cannot be solved. MacArthur can be the emperor in Malaysia, Indonesia, Luzon and other places. He has no position in the Allied Powers China and the Southeast Asian theater, and there is no reason to command Tang Dynasty in Burma across the South China Sea.

Qiu Li's troops were anxious. At this time, MacArthur deeply regretted. When the Allied Powers China and Southeast Asia Theater were established, why did he refuse to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the theater and let the British Alexander take a big advantage?

MacArthur was not only a soldier, but also a politician in his blood. He immediately flew back to the United States, and first met with President Roosevelt. Under Roosevelt's instruction, he conspired with domestic dignitaries. After some exchanges of interests and operations, MacArthur

The official hat of deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied Powers' China and Southeast Asia Theater and commander-in-chief of the front line was taken off the head of the British Alexander and placed lightly on MacArthur's head.

Regarding this appointment, British Prime Minister Churchill, although extremely reluctant in his heart, did not have the capital to challenge the Americans. The Germans were suppressing themselves and the British Isles were filled with smoke every day. The British Empire could still rely on the continuous blood transfusions of the Americans.

The current situation can barely be maintained, not to mention that Alexander has lost all his money and fled to India to seek refuge.

Churchill was able to give this defeated general the status of a civil officer in eastern India, which was a great deal of respect for him. The British had no objections, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China could not have any objections. The Americans agreed.

, although only a small part of it was in place, it gave Chairman Chiang a taste of the sweetness. Even if he gave up his role as commander-in-chief, he would not be dissatisfied at all.

After MacArthur took over Alexander's black gauze hat, he immediately felt confident. Once he had the power, he gave orders. He felt that now, he could legitimately command Tang Qiuli's troops.

MacArthur wanted to see how this Chinese, whom Stilwell spoke so powerfully, did not carry out the orders of the China Theater Command. The first thing he did after taking office was to serve as the commander-in-chief of the China Theater Front.

As an official, he sent a stern and loud telegram to Tang Qiuli in Myanmar.
