Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 1409 Alexander who turned over from salted fish
It is impossible to judge what British Prime Minister Winston Churchill really thought. On the British Isles, under the air raids of the German Air Force day and night, the elite German Army and Navy, with more than 1.5 million troops, more than 100 large and small
warships gathered across the English Channel,
Starting from Dunkirk and extending to Belgium, forming more than a dozen critical moments of attacking fists, how could Churchill, who has always been cunning and good at assessing situations, choose to attack China's Tang Qiu in the far Eastern Asia under such circumstances?
Li launches a challenge.
At this time, the United Kingdom was already reeling from the beatings of the German army. It relied on the continuous blood transfusions of the Americans, and relied on the natural barrier given by God, the English Channel, which hindered the Germans. Only the British were able to support it to this day, and it was also the invincible Germany.
The Army is the only piece of land outside the European continent that it has not yet captured.
The situation at home was already dire. The British were gritting their teeth and struggling to hold on with their last breath. Churchill actually wanted to go overseas, using India as a base, to challenge Tang Qiu, who had already established a foothold in Indochina and was in full swing.
Li had the idea of doing something, which was not only very puzzling, but also incredible!
The reason for this is that in addition to Tang Qiuli's reply that was widely circulated around the world and the public shooting of forty-seven British people, which embarrassed the British Empire and the Prime Minister, I am afraid that in Churchill's heart
, are you still obsessed with the result of the British Empire returning to Indochina and even Southeast Asia?
Churchill was enraged. Tang Qiuli slapped him hard in the face. The British were enraged. There has never been a precedent for a subject of the British Empire to be publicly shot by Asians overseas. They are on top of the world.
The sun never sets on an empire that has lasted for more than a hundred years. The British lion that once roared around the world is already old. Even its tail is covered with abscesses, and it looks like it is declining and its glory is gone.
However, this does not prevent them from feeling good about themselves. The British, who are still immersed in the glorious past of the empire on which the sun never sets, mustered up the last bit of confidence and roared a few times at the Asian Chinese who have always been inferior to show that their dignity is inviolable.
!
Although Churchill's actions made Americans who have always been on good terms with Britain very confused. Moreover, they were also worried. Under the current situation in Southeast Asia, the biggest enemy of Americans is the hungry Japanese wolf lying at their doorstep.
People, not Tang Qiuli. At this time, the Americans never want the British to provoke new disputes in the South Asian subcontinent and involve Tang Qiuli's energy.
This will hinder the Americans' "Operation Tiger Shark Plan" and will not return the fundamental interests of the Americans in Southeast Asia. U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt personally sent a long telegram to Churchill, stating the strong relationship and hoping that Churchill would work with the Chinese
Tang Qiuli, without breaking out in thunderous rage, stopped his attack as soon as possible to avoid irreparable consequences.
Roosevelt was embarrassed to say that you British people are already in trouble, so how can you still have the energy to stir up trouble in Indochina? A Hitler can make the British bleed, and Tang Qiuli can be intimidated by you British people.
?
Roosevelt almost overestimated his capabilities to satirize the annoyingly stubborn British Prime Minister's judgment of the situation in Asia. Roosevelt was more conscious than Churchill. The British were the defeated generals and were almost annihilated by the Japanese. Why?
You went to East India, you still don’t know?
Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of British troops stationed in India did not dare to lend a helping hand when the Japanese beat their compatriots. Faced with Tang Qiuli's Tiger Guards who defeated the Japanese, could the British troops get an advantage?
?If you are not careful, it will shake the foundation of the British mainland.
Therefore, as far as Roosevelt was concerned, he never wanted Churchill to take this risk. However, Churchill, who had always obeyed the advice of the Americans, this time had a stubborn temper and went to Tang Qiuli with red eyes. Moreover, the British Parliament
Both houses of Congress authorized Prime Minister Churchill to activate wartime prime ministerial prerogatives and decide to use force without parliamentary approval.
Of course, the target must be an Asian country, except for the Japanese. All British people regard the devil of the East, Tang Qiuli, as the second sworn enemy of the British Empire in addition to the German head of state Hitler. This John
The cow went completely crazy and lost his mind.
In Washington, the capital of the United States, in the Oval Office of the White House, US President Roosevelt, sitting in a wheelchair, looked worriedly at Churchill's call back. A feeling of powerlessness came over his heart. He could not persuade the stubborn and stubborn Churchill to let go of this.
This is an impractical and dangerous approach that he cannot do.
At the same time, Roosevelt did not want the consequences of the British's attack on Tang Qiuli in Indochina to become the last straw for the British. If this was the case, the entire Europe would belong to the Germans, let alone the Germans.
It was not in line with the fundamental interests of the United States. For Churchill, it was a good opportunity to return to Southeast Asia, but for Roosevelt, what he saw was a crisis.
Roosevelt also thought about threatening and inducing the Chinese Tang Qiuli to reconcile with Churchill. Of course, the prerequisite was that Tang Qiuli had to pay a price for Churchill to save face and satisfy the British. But this idea
, as soon as it appeared in his mind, even he was shocked.
Ridiculous and unrealistic, that Tang Qiuli would never compromise on issues involving territory and national dignity, and his reaction was unusually fierce. The most important thing is that the current situation in the United States cannot threaten Tang Qiuli.
Qiu Li's bargaining chip, a Japanese, made the Americans worried. Fundamentally speaking, the Americans still relied on Tang Qiuli.
Therefore, Roosevelt, who never wanted the British to suffer defeat in front of Tang Qiuli, could only provide help to the British as much as possible. It was impossible to send troops to help. Who knows when the Japanese would go crazy and rush to kill MacArthur. Roosevelt
The secret order to MacArthur was to provide weapons, equipment and ammunition in quantities that met the requirements of the British army.
Using Sumatra as a supply base for the British army ensured all the British army's needs for fighting. Of course, Tang Qiuli must not get a whiff of it. Otherwise, the Americans would be displeased with both sides.
Offended by Tang Qiuli who needed to be used, poor General MacArthur, following an order from President Roosevelt, was reduced to the British Minister of Logistics.
Based on MacArthur's many years of experience in Southeast Asia and his experience in dealing with Tang Qiuli, he did not think that the president's order was very clever and wise. He was afraid of Tang Qiuli's tiger and wolf army, but MacArthur himself
, but looked down upon the British very much. In comparison, he did not like this stupid move of the British. However, following the president's order, MacArthur had no choice but to pinch his nose and take office. Forget about the awkward feeling in his heart!
Compared with MacArthur, who was in a state of confusion, General Alexander, the former commander-in-chief of the British Army in Indochina, was in high spirits. He was ushering in the second spring of his career. Just a few days ago, he was appointed by the British General Staff
As the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in India, he has unified command of 180,000 British troops and 230,000 Indian troops, and is responsible for implementing all military affairs for the attack on the Chinese Army in northern Myanmar.
Since the defeat of Burma, General Alexander, who fled to eastern India, has been subjected to a lot of looks and cynicism. The once number one figure in Indochina was reduced to a mere local civil affairs official. His life was very miserable. This time, things turned out differently.
, finally turned around, and the first thing he did was to remove and replace all the local administrators and army commanders in eastern India, which made him very angry.
At the beginning of taking office, Alexander caused chaos in the eastern part of India and everyone was in danger. He had this power. According to the authorization of the British General Staff, Alexander could mobilize all the British military and manpower in India for war needs.
, including the normal removal of incompetent local chief executives. Of course, only Alexander himself knew what was abnormal.
Alexander himself, after playing a show of authority, calmed down, as if in a dream. He just couldn't figure out how the big guys in the military and political circles in the country could find out in their conscience that they favored him and gave him another chance.
Could it be that the almighty and merciful God has given me a special chance to turn over?
In fact, Alexander was really worried. He was chosen as the supreme commander of the British-Indian army that returned to Indochina. There was only one reason. He was familiar with the situation in Indochina. Other British generals probably didn't even know which direction the rivers there flowed in.
, I don’t know that if there are other suitable candidates, the big guys in the country will never use him, the defeated general who lost Southeast Asia.
Starting from April 16, Alexander mobilized the British 3rd, 5th, 6th and 9th divisions, the 1st British Plum Garrison Corps, the 1st and 2nd British Brigade of Lambgar Garrison.
, the 1st and 2nd Jungle Combat Brigades, the 3rd and 4th British-Indian Mixed Corps, the 5th Lampson Garrison Corps, the 1st Mixed Brigade and other infantry units, totaling 230,000 British-Indian troops.
In addition, Alexander also mobilized 25 artillery regiments, six tank brigades of heavy firepower, as well as ten fighter regiments and six bomber regiments of the British Air Force in India. This is the British Army in India.
Troops, the maximum number of troops that can be mobilized.
Prior to this, the British garrison troops stationed in Plum, Lambgar, and Lampson had already moved to the India-Myanmar border area in advance. On April 23, after a week of preparation, Alexander issued the British
The main force of the Indian army was ordered to advance towards the India-Myanmar border and the Hukan Valley. His headquarters was located in Puram, a small town close to the border area.
At this time, Tang Qiuli knew nothing about the large-scale military operations of the British army. His attention was focused on handling the aftermath of the riots in Indochina. The focus of the ** Division Intelligence Office was also on
On the other side of the Strait of Malacca, they were equally unaware of the unusual movements of the British troops in northern Burma.
