Age of Conquest Reborn

At the Supreme Allied Military Conference held in Manila, Philippines, Tang Qiuli promised MacArthur that the ** Division troops would actively seek operations against the Japanese troops led by Ito Yanzaburo in accordance with the requirements of the Allied China and Southeast Asia Theater Headquarters. The meeting continued

At this point, it seems that everything can come to a successful conclusion, and MacArthur's goal has been achieved.

But the two conditions put forward by Tang Qiuli happened to be MacArthur's destiny. There was nothing MacArthur could do if he refused to agree to the former condition. He knew some of China's internal affairs.

Unable to complete

Implementing government orders, and moreover, with Tang Qiuli's consistent style, even if MacArthur issued dozens of orders a day, he would not be ignored by others. If he liked to talk to him, he would reply, and if he didn't, he would just ignore it. It was not that he had not received anything.

Have been treated like this

MacArthur would agree to this condition without hesitation, but the second condition could kill him. The best way to solve the Americans' worries is for Tang Qiuli's Army Division to fight alone.

The Japanese war did not involve Americans at all. MacArthur's painstaking proposal to convene the Supreme Allied Theater Military Conference was to achieve this goal.

You can sign any kind of agreement, but it cannot be made public, and cannot be known or misunderstood by the Japanese. The Americans and the Chinese will unite to deal with the Japanese. Tang Qiuli did this not to force the Americans to publicly express their stance and to negotiate with the Japanese.

Will it become a warring country? No matter how arrogant MacArthur is and no matter how much he thinks he is the boss, he would not dare to make fun of the basic national policy of the United States.

Tang Qiuli looked at MacArthur calmly. He just wanted to unite the Americans. Don't play with these secrets. Let us Chinese take the lead. The Americans would not get any benefits by hiding behind, risking being killed by Japan Airlines.

What is the purpose of coming to Manila despite the danger of aerial ambush and interception?

Isn't it just to draw the attention of the Japanese to the Americans and drag the United States into the water? Of course, Tang Qiuli would never let the Japanese go without this Allied Manila Military Conference. This is his established strategy.

It will never change, but Americans hide behind the scenes and enjoy the huge benefits of trade with the Japanese without taking any risks.

Are people smart?

Tang Qiuli made every step of the way and promised the Americans to come to Manila to participate in the military conference. The high-profile propaganda and hype were intended to plant a thorn in the hearts of the Japanese. After arriving in Manila, taking advantage of the opportunity of the American soldiers to provoke trouble, MacArthur had no choice but to

The shooting of more than 30 American soldiers caused the Japanese to interpret different messages. This was another thorn in the side.

Now, the requirement to sign an open agreement is not a thorn, but a nail, firmly nailed into the hearts of the Japanese. Even after the agreement is signed, no one can believe that the Americans must deal with the Japanese.

It’s written in black and white, and it’s impossible for Americans to quibble even if they want to. This puts an end to Americans’ speculative practice of playing both sides and reaping benefits.

If MacArthur refused to sign this public agreement, Tang Qiuli would not be disappointed. He would still follow the established strategy and force the Japanese troops under Ito to take action against the Americans. However, this would be very awkward.

The deliberate approach is too obvious. If the Japanese turned around and took the initiative to bite the Americans, it would be perfect.

Therefore, whether the agreement is signed or not does not affect the overall situation for Tang Qiuli. Anyway, two thorns have been planted. It is just a longer attack time. What he wants is an attitude from the Americans and forces the United States to

People have to make a choice. Since Americans want to borrow a knife to kill people, then fine, they should also leave fingerprints on the handle of the knife.

MacArthur's heart was in chaos. He had never felt so helpless that he could not control the situation. Tang Qiuli's request was reasonable and irrefutable. There was no excuse for it. He hurriedly convened an Allied military meeting and even made a public statement.

Japan dares not sign the agreement declaring war. Are you Americans just kidding?

Doesn’t that expose the little bit of Jiujiu in one’s heart to the world? The little bit of bezoar dog treasure in the belly is still displayed in front of people’s eyes. The national reputation of the United States and the face of Americans are also

Where to put it?

MacArthur looked at Tang Qiuli, who had a calm face, with eyes that wanted to kill. This Chinese, a cunning villain, his request was the most deadly. Compared with the Japanese opponents and the big guys in the United States, he could not even think about it.

No one has thought about this issue. Even the people in the United States are opposed to the United States participating in the European war.

Does the war that took place on that distant European continent have anything to do with us Americans? If it doesn’t, why would those in power send our American children to the European battlefield? This was the common psychology of mainstream American society at that time.

, you can give them guns and cannons, but you can't attack others. Americans have this attitude towards their ancestral places, let alone Southeast Asia, which is alienated from the United States?

But if such an agreement is not signed, this Allied military conference will become a farce. Tang Qiu will leave angrily. Then, the flashing pistol that has always been hanging on the heads of the Americans will

Who will break the cold bayonet? The Americans themselves? MacArthur didn't even think about it. If he dares to fight the Japanese today, tomorrow, the domestic dismissal order will turn him into a useless idler.

The most important thing is that MacArthur knew the strength in his hands. To be honest, even the British were not as good as the original British. With hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who were pampered, drank, made trouble, and played with women, he could become a leader in the hands of the Japanese.

In this round, MacArthur was proud enough. This was also the main reason why he tried his best to encourage Tang Qiuli to fight against Ito's opponent.

MacArthur was in trouble, it had never been more difficult. Beads of sweat on his forehead came out drop by drop. Facing Tang Qiuli's calm gaze, MacArthur felt tremendous pressure. He would rather Tang Qiuli opened his mouth.

I want guns, cannons, and things, but I don’t want this open agreement.

MacArthur was silent for more than ten minutes. There were already whispers in the conference room. He had to express his position, "General Tang, on behalf of the Allied Headquarters, I can fully agree to your first request.

, the ** Division will not be subject to any restrictions from the Allied Forces Headquarters in future battles against the Japanese. The general just reminded you rightly that only the commanders on the front line best understand the actual situation on the battlefield."

"As for the general's second request, because it involves the basic national policy of our United States, please forgive me. I cannot answer you yet. I will give General Tang an accurate answer after I have asked for instructions at home. What do you think?" MacArthur

With a smile on his face, he spoke politely, and even added a lot of honorifics to his words. This was unprecedented for MacArthur.

In this matter involving the basic national policy of the United States, MacArthur did not dare to make the decision privately, and he also meant to delay time and find other countermeasures. In Tang Qiuli's mind, he could not let the United States go so easily.

Dude, hold on tight and goad MacArthur a few more times.

"Oh, Your Excellency, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, is it so difficult to sign an Allied War Agreement against Japan? Your country's basic national policy will not be to make unilateral peace with the Japanese? If so, what kind of Allied Powers are there?

Is it necessary to exist? What’s the point of us traveling thousands of miles to come to Manila? With all due respect, the general’s behavior is really puzzling.”

"Of course, I may not understand the general's difficulties. We Chinese are very particular and do not force others to do anything. I will wait for good news in Manila. However, I can only wait for two days. That is to say, on the 12th of September 17th,

Before this point, no such agreement had been signed, and I personally believed that there was no such organization as the Allied Powers."

MacArthur wanted to strangle Tang Qiuli to death. Damn it, this was an ultimatum for myself. I didn’t know what would happen in two days. In just half a day, the first meeting was over, except for MacArthur.

It was a long and marginal speech without any substantive content. The representatives from various countries who attended the meeting felt strange in their hearts. Tang Qiuli once again became the focus of everyone's attention and discussion.

Tang Qiuli returned to the hotel where he was staying, and Chief of Staff Yang Ketian came over to ask for instructions, "Commander, do we have any specific tasks within the two days of the adjournment?" Tang Qiuli replied meaningfully: "There is only one task.

, the delegation has two days off. It’s a rare trip abroad for everyone. Let’s have fun for two days. The allowance in your pocket is more than mine. Don’t be a miser.

Yang Ketian didn't understand, and Tang Qiuli added: "We are not in a hurry, the Americans are in a hurry. By the way, you can go out to play, but you must pay attention to safety. The Japanese have many spies in Manila. Let me tell you, don't fall into the trap of the Japanese."

The female agent’s beauty trap is arranged by Captain Huang for all the people who go out,” everyone laughed.

MacArthur and Stilwell returned to the US military headquarters with sorrow. This was an unavoidable question that could not be avoided. Stilwell said: "General, do we have to rely on Tang Qiuli's power? Given the current situation,

In other words, the Japanese's attention is still on Myanmar. They don't have the ability and courage to dare to attack us in the United States. Are you overly worried? You should know that the country will not agree to our request. Our focus is on Europe.

"

MacArthur suddenly became angry and sarcastically mocked his deputy, "Dear General Stilwell, I hope you will pay more attention to the character of the Japanese. As far as the current situation is concerned, the appetite of the Japanese army under Ito is by no means limited to Central and South China."

In the peninsula area, the Japanese's goal is the entire Southeast Asia. Moreover, in terms of the national characteristics of the Japanese, they are the same greedy people as the Chinese. However, the Japanese are more ambitious and like to take risks.

"

Perhaps feeling that his tone was too harsh, MacArthur slowed down and said: "General Stilwell, the Japanese will definitely attack us. I have a hunch."
