Age of Conquest Reborn

> .Chapter 1,170 Americans’ Low Profile

MacArthur's telegram was extremely polite from line to line. It was completely different from the previous telegrams. Moreover, the wording was very in line with Chinese habits. At first glance, it was clear that he had put his heart into it.%.net...

Tang Qiuli looked at the telegram and wondered why the arrogant MacArthur lowered his attitude. This was not his character. Did this arrogant American general suddenly change his gender?

"Dear General Tang, since the Japanese army invaded the Indochina Peninsula, the British army has unfortunately suffered a defeat and lost all its interests in the Indochina Peninsula. It is really unfortunate that the Japanese took advantage of the victory and invaded northern Myanmar. The Indochina Peninsula is about to fall to the Japanese.

At a time when lives were about to be destroyed by his own hands, thanks to the bravery of the general and the sacrifice of his men, the Japanese army was defeated and stopped in central Myanmar."

"I and all the generals at the US military headquarters are deeply impressed by the glorious victory achieved by the general and his men in the Battle of Indochina. However, the heavy Japanese troops stationed in central Myanmar have constituted a permanent threat to the security of Indochina and Southeast Asia.

The general's troops are the first to bear the brunt of the threat."

"As the old saying goes, it is a man to save the people from fire and water and save the building from collapse. I believe that the general does not want to see Southeast Asia, so it is devastated by the war. Therefore, I would like to invite all the Allied forces to convene a high-level military meeting

We will hold a meeting to discuss future countermeasures and seek a once-and-for-all solution. I and General Stilwell, Chief of Staff of the Allied China and Southeast Asia Theater, sincerely invite the general to attend the meeting. It is a great honor!"

While reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli kept praising him, "They say MacArthur is a China expert. When I saw it today, it turned out that he was well-deserved. Just by the writing style of this telegram, his reputation was not in vain, and it was rare for him to be an American."

, it is rare to actually write such a telegram, it is really rare, which also shows that this American is a difficult character to deal with."

In fact, Tang Qiuli looked at MacArthur. Even if this arrogant American had such literary talent, with his character, he would never write such low-profile or even flattering words. All of this is

In Stilwell's masterpiece, MacArthur left the important task of getting Tang Qiuli to Manila to himself, and he felt so relaxed.

In fact, the meeting proposed by MacArthur can be said to be tailor-made for Tang Qiuli. Even if US President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill participated, without Tang Qiuli, it would be a failure. Therefore, how to make Tang Qiuli

Coming to Manila to attend the meeting became a major issue that Stilwell racked his brains to consider.

Finally, Stilwell came up with the name Military Seminar, which on the surface leveled Tang Qiuli's status with MacArthur's. If Tang Qiuli was informed of his participation in the meeting in the form of an order, Tang Qiuli would be able to influence the Allied headquarters.

With his consistent attitude and past performance, I'm afraid I don't even have the interest to take a closer look. Tang Qiu can't come, so why should he hold a ridiculous meeting?

Now that he had a reputation, Stilwell had to work hard on how to send this telegram. He ordered his subordinates to search for people in Manila who were proficient in Chinese culture and could write those profound and obscure square characters. His efforts paid off.

A thoughtful person actually found an old overseas Chinese gentleman. According to his subordinates, this old gentleman was proficient in Chinese culture and loved to write and write. Stilwell deigned to pay a visit to this old gentleman in person.

As soon as Stilwell explained the purpose of his visit, the old man was a quick-witted man. After accepting a large sum of money for polishing his pen, he immediately wrote the invitation message with a splash of ink. After the translator said it roughly

, Stilwell listened in confusion, but understood the meaning, which was to flatter Tang Qiuli and let him attend the Manila Military Seminar.

Stilwell couldn't help but sigh. He claimed to be a China expert. For such words, it was like reading from heaven. The Chinese were really mysterious. However, Stilwell did not dare to reveal even a few words of the contents of the telegram to General MacArthur.

, with the commander's bad temper, and in his name, Tang Qiuli would never agree to such lowly flattery.

When Stilwell reported to MacArthur that the military seminar was ready and was scheduled to be held in Manila on September 15th, and assured that Tang Qiuli would definitely attend, MacArthur praised Stilwell greatly, and the two

As a senior U.S. military general, his thinking unintentionally divided into two directions.

From MacArthur's point of view, this is very simple. It's not like he is ordering Tang Qiuli to send troops. He just attends a military meeting and issues an order. By then, Tang Qiuli will be on his own territory, and many things will not be up to him.

, praising Stilwell is more out of politeness. Although he is not interested in this Texas cowboy, he is his deputy after all. If he accomplishes something, the credit should not belong to him?

After Tang Qiuli received the invitation letter sent by telegram, he immediately summoned the commanders of the five corps and held a meeting in Myitkyina to discuss the matter. He had a premonition that he might have to leave for a considerable period of time, saying that

Military seminar in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, where the Allies discussed joint strategies to deal with the Japanese.

But he knew that the Allied Forces were just a loose alliance, united due to the strength of the Japanese in Southeast Asia. Each country had its own national interests and small calculations. If nothing else, it was the British.

He will definitely be resentful about occupying the Indochina Peninsula, and something will happen at the meeting.

The Americans are trying their best to avoid direct conflicts with the Japanese. There are huge trade interests between the United States and Japan. When the Americans are making money from the Japanese, how can they be willing to give up this slippery piece of fat?

Meat, Australia has nothing to do with itself. Southeast Asia is in full swing. What does it have to do with us Australians?

However, due to pressure from the Americans, they will also come to the meeting. As for the colonial countries, the Americans are the representatives. They dare not let it go. They represent the Indo-China Peninsula. The real purpose of the meeting should be to force

He took the initiative to attack Ito's Japanese troops. The Americans joined forces with the British and Australians to form an overwhelming advantage over themselves. Westerners always vented their anger through one nostril.

The process of the meeting is very likely to be one party against many parties. If Chairman Chiang Kai-shek participates in person or sends a personal representative to participate, there will be greater variables. After all, in China's political arena, he, Chiang Kai-shek, is the leader of the country.

The Führer is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces China Theater and Southeast Asia Theater, but he does not hold a single nominal position in the Allied Forces Headquarters, which puts him at an invisible disadvantage.

I was in Guiyang and had just cut off a big chunk of Chairman Chiang's flesh. Given Chiang's character, it would be strange if he didn't hold grudges to the bone. In meetings, he didn't try to trick someone behind his back or play dirty tricks.

Recruitment is a big deal. Don't expect them to stand in the interests of the country and nation and help you.

MacArthur tried his best to flatter him and sent the invitation telegram, but he was afraid that if he ignored it, all his plans would come to nothing. The Americans did not want to take action and wanted to take advantage of the ready-made advantages. The British dreamed of returning to Central South Africa.

On the peninsula, our strength does not allow it. The Australians are far away and the artillery shells cannot land on their island. As long as we do not send troops, we can fight the Japanese whoever we like.

In the end, it is you who sends troops. This is also the real purpose of this military meeting. In addition, each country has its own interests. There are talks on the surface, wrangling, private transactions, bargaining with gangs, and interest disputes.

The factors are mixed together and it will not be solved quickly. Let’s just say that we must fight against the Japanese. This has never changed.

But how to fight, when to fight, and to what extent, we cannot let the Americans have the final say and act according to their wishes. According to Tang Qiuli's estimate, the meeting will not last more than ten days and a half.

It can't be concluded. Bargaining alone will take a lot of time. After being away from Myanmar for such a long time, I have to explain the matter.

Tang Qiuli told his analysis to several corps commanders, and it was pretty much what he expected. Everyone was very unimpressed with this bullshit Allied Southeast Asia and South Pacific War Situation Seminar, and they all disapproved of Tang Qiuli.

Go and participate. In a word, it's not necessary. Why waste time? The Allied Theater Headquarters can't take care of such an elite division.

Feng Jiwu put it more bluntly, "Commander, there is no need to pay attention to those Westerners. In Indochina, we have formed a strategic encirclement against old Japanese Ito. It is up to us when to take action and from which aspect."

It’s not up to the Yankees to dictate matters. Besides, if they don’t send a single soldier, they will reach out to our troops. Dreaming about getting a wife, they only want good things, so just dream!”

Everyone laughed, a laugh full of contempt, and Tang Qiuli also laughed. The atmosphere of the meeting was lively and lively. Except for Ma Chaoyang, who was a little reserved, everyone else was very relaxed. Among several corps commanders,

From the officer's point of view, the division commander is the one to worry about. What is the Allied Theater Headquarters? Who is that American MacArthur? What does it have to do with us? As a rule, just ignore him!

After everyone's laughter stopped, Tang Qiuli said: "The few of you here are all commanders of the corps, which is equivalent to the status of princes. There is one thing I must tell you. Whether it is now or in the future, we

The fate of the Army Division is always in our own hands. No Allied Theater Headquarters or other gods can influence our actions."

Li Honggang couldn't help but asked strangely: "Commander, since the Allied Theater Headquarters has no binding force on us, why do you go to Manila to argue with the Americans and waste time? Commander Feng is right, don't ignore him.

That’s it, let’s follow our own steps, what can they do?”

Tang Qiuli smiled faintly and said: "Hong Gang's words are on point. There is a reason why I have to go to Manila." Several commanders looked at the division commander attentively at that time. They all thought

Listen, the teacher must go.

(To be continued)

Digression: After coding two chapters, I took the time to read the news on the Internet. I couldn’t help but feel angry. Eighty years ago, Japanese pirates invaded the Northeast. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of September 18, the Japanese pirates made trouble again on the Diaoyu Islands. According to Xiaojin’s idea,

What are you protesting for? What evidence are you looking for? In one word, beat his mother

That's it, the little devil is the master who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Only when the nose and mouth are pierced, blood flows, and the bones are broken and the tendons are broken, will he be convinced. There is endless blood of heroes, and there are not enough heads of Japanese pirates. The hot-blooded Chinese men should strengthen themselves! Today

The Diaoyu Islands will definitely be the cemetery where the Japanese pirates’ arrogant ambitions are buried!!!!!!!
