Age of Conquest Reborn

The warm spring sunshine in northern Myanmar did not dispel the coldness deep in Alexander's heart. He was even a little afraid of the plants and trees in northern Myanmar. Three years apart, it was the same land, different opponents, and the same tragic defeat.

The first time he suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Japanese, Alexander fled to East India with more than 20,000 defeated soldiers. Carrying the reputation of losing his troops and losing his land, he was placed on the edge of the Indian colonial circle and was looked down upon.

Erhe was sarcastic and sarcastic, and even the subordinates who followed him were severely suppressed. Those were his darkest days.

The second time he suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Chinese Tang Qiuli. Moreover, he was defeated unwillingly and unprepared. He lost hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the first battle. He did not even have the power to fight back. Alexander would not do anything anyway.

I believe that the British Imperial Army, which had been advancing so triumphantly, was defeated miserably at Mesikailing. It was like a high-speed train suddenly hitting a mountain. Everything was so sudden. If it weren't for the changes in the surrounding scenery, he always thought he was

In a dream.

Alexander secretly lamented in his heart, "Is this another reincarnation of history? Is Indochina a place of sadness for me? Defeat after defeat!" The first time, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers left in the army of more than 400,000. This time, three people were defeated.

An army of more than 100,000 people brought back more than 80,000 people. They were defeated twice. The results were similar, but the processes were completely different.

Alexander could take some comfort in his defeat at the hands of the Japanese. The first battle in Singapore, the breakout of Mandalay, the bloody battle at Libao, and the second battle at Yin Dun Jiang were fought step by step with the Japanese soldiers. By the time they reached East India, although 400,000

There were only about 20,000 troops left, but the Japanese also paid a corresponding price. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers fell on the road to pursue and intercept the British Empire's troops stationed in Burma.

How could it be that he was defeated at the hands of Tang Qiuli? After several days of rapid advancement along the Hukang River Valley, there were countless defeats along the way, but the real battle suddenly broke out. In just over two hours, there was no

Seeing the bloody fight between soldiers from both sides, there was no repeated struggle for positions, only overwhelming artillery fire and shells flying in the sky. His main force of hundreds of thousands was completely wiped out!

He was defeated and defeated very cowardly. Therefore, whenever Alexander was briefly awake, he would use the most vicious language and vocabulary in the world to curse the Chinese Tang Qiuli. Now, he was finally completely awake, but he

I know very well that the most urgent problem in front of me is how to deal with the consequences of this defeat.

After the first defeat, he still had a chance to make a comeback. What about the second time? Alexander himself did not even think about the best. In two wars within three years, he lost more than 600,000 troops in the overseas territories of the British Empire.

Can the cabinet and the big guys in the country spare me?

Alexander's only wish now is to spend the rest of his life in peace, even if he is to be an ordinary British citizen. As for seeking revenge from Tang Qiuli, he has completely lost confidence that he can still fight against the Japanese.

Facing the insidious and cunning Chinese Tang Qiuli, he was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Chief of Staff Adams arrived and saw that the commander had woken up. Although his body was still very weak, his mental state had obviously returned to normal. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and said with concern: "Commander, your

Your health is important. You need to pay attention to rest. I have ordered new supply bases to prepare the best medical facilities."

Alexander smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew very well that his illness was a heart disease and could not be cured by medicine. However, he was still very grateful to Adams for his care and loyalty. Without him, he would have been leaderless and suffered many hardships during his more than ten hours of coma.

A defeated army will become a mess, and there is always the possibility of soldiers mutiny.

Alexander looked at Adams gratefully and said, "Adams, you have served as my chief of staff for just over a month, but within this short period of time, we have established a deep friendship. Your soldiers

I strongly believe in integrity, which is completely different from my former chief of staff, Francis, who cannot be trusted."

Adams's face was calm, and he listened quietly to Alexander's low and weak voice. The commander's words should be regarded as what he said from the bottom of his heart. As a general of the British Empire, he couldn't watch his troops collapse. In other words,

This is the duty of a soldier. He instinctively felt that the commander's words seemed to be leaving a last message.

Alexander continued: "Dear Adams, someone must be responsible for this tragic defeat in northern Burma. I will dictate it and you will record it. Send a telegram to the cabinet to report the war situation truthfully. Since you cannot hide it, tell the truth. Also, I

I will take full responsibility for this and leave the troops in your hands. I can rest assured that only you can bring all the soldiers back to India."

Adams was not excited, nor did he accept responsibility. This was normal. Someone had to be responsible for the failure. As the supreme commander, General Alexander had an unshirkable responsibility and could not shirk it. He took out his notebook.

Alexander's voice sounded like it was floating from the grave, "All members of the British Empire's wartime cabinet, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, were ordered to recover the Indochina Peninsula this time and led more than 300,000 troops to march to northern Myanmar. However, I

I had a mission and was ambushed by Tang Qiuli's troops, which caused heavy losses to the troops and had to return to India. I bear all responsibility for this and accept all punishments imposed on me by the cabinet."

"Before I hand over the command, I would like to make my last solemn proposal to the Cabinet and the Prime Minister for serious consideration. I recommend Lieutenant General Adams, the current Chief of Staff of the Army in India, to take over the position of Supreme Commander of the British Empire in India. Only he can do this.

Only by bringing all the remaining troops back to India can the troops regain their strength!"

After Alexander dictated the message, he waved his hand feebly and muttered, "There is no way to save the day!" Adams' lips trembled a few times, wondering what to say to the despairing commander. Commander Alexander's

The position was definitely not guaranteed, and it was natural for him to take over. However, the commander strongly recommended him under such circumstances, which moved Adams very much.

On the morning of April 29th, in Manila, Luzon Island, at the headquarters of the U.S. Army in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, General Stilwell, Chief of Staff, walked into Commander MacArthur’s office with an ugly face. As soon as he came in, Stilwell didn’t even sit down.

No thanks, he really didn't want to face this ugly face.

Stilwell handed a telegram to MacArthur and said in an angry tone: "Your Excellency, Commander, you have received an urgent telegram from the liaison officer of the British Army. In the Methkailing area in northern Myanmar, Alexander's troops,

They were ambushed by Tang Qiuli's ** division. The battle lasted for more than two hours. More than 140,000 British troops were wiped out, and the remaining 80,000 troops retreated to the Hukang River Valley."

"On the front lines of Ledo, Sukiya, Gamai, and New Taiji in northern Myanmar, the mixed forces of the British and Indian troops of four divisions were besieged by the superior strength of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the ** Division, and the entire army was annihilated. Commander

, the war situation between the Chinese and the British in northern Burma, as you expected, ended with a disastrous defeat for our ally the British," Stilwell said the last sentence very viciously.

He could hardly suppress the anger in his heart and blurted out, "You narcissistic old guy, you are satisfied this time. The British failed miserably, and what did you get? Originally, we had a chance to save this situation."

situation!"

How could the old and cunning MacArthur not understand the meaning of Stilwell's words? He took the pipe from his mouth and stared at Stilwell with his iron-grey eyes. After a long time, he exhaled a sigh of relief in his heart.

Showing his usual condescending smile, he thought in his heart that it was not worth arguing with Stilwell, whose political IQ was almost at the level of a child. There were some things that he would never understand.

However, this did not prevent MacArthur from saying in a lesson tone: "Dear Chief of Staff Stilwell, the results of the Burmese War can only show that the British chose the wrong opponent at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and

If there had not been an imminent threat from the Japanese in Singapore, our participation in the Burma War would have been different."

"Please remember that the interests of the United States of America always come first. In front of this major premise, everything is secondary. I hope you can truly understand this. Okay, don't dwell on this topic anymore.

Now, dear Stilwell, you can be relieved and don’t have to worry about the tedious logistical work. Aren’t you happy?”

Stilwell was so angry that he almost kicked the table over and yelled at the old bastard, "I'm so happy! It's just a matter of not saving me. It's a relief to be happy when you see your allies defeated miserably. What the hell kind of bastard is this?"

logic?"

But Stilwell didn't dare. He could only suppress his anger in his heart. He listened with a livid face as MacArthur spoke nonsense. MacArthur was very happy. His words left the Texas cowboy speechless, and

, his face is as ugly as a dead fish, this kind of person just lacks lessons!

MacArthur let go of his right hand that was holding his left elbow, waved the pipe in his hand, and continued to lecture Stilwell, "Chief of Staff Stilwell, the war between the British and Tang Qiuli is over, and there are no other things that can be involved.

This unruly, yet very

It is time for him to fulfill his promise. It is now the end of April and before the end of May, his troops will launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese in Singapore.

We Americans root out hidden dangers!”

Having said this, MacArthur took a deep look at Stilwell, whose face was still ugly, and continued: "We only have one month, and this matter is related to our vital interests. I still hope you can go to northern Myanmar."

Once, I met Tang Qiuli and determined the specific issues of Operation Tiger Shark. The key is time!"
