Age of Conquest Reborn

As a direct subordinate to the Chief of General Staff, General Brandts, and the Director of Military Intelligence, Major General Orebrand, he naturally understands the look in his boss's eyes. Major General Orebrand is extremely grateful for the opportunity given by the Chief of General Staff.

Gratitude. Uploaded by Wu Jiu Literature Book Friend

At such a high-level cabinet meeting, he, a small major general and the head of a second-level department, could only attend and observe, and he would not even dare to cough loudly. Anyone sitting here at random would be bigger than his own head.

After several rounds, now that I have the opportunity to perform, I will naturally not miss it. While making my boss look good, I will also gain points for my future promotion!

Sure enough, Admiral Brandts' strategy worked. Everyone's eyes were attracted to the unfamiliar major general whose face was flushed with excitement. Even Prime Minister Churchill took away the cigar from his mouth.

He looked at Major General Orebrand with great interest, as if flowers had bloomed on the Major General's face.

Major General Orebrand first gave a solemn military salute, and then said clearly: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Chief of General Staff, ministers and generals, just the day before yesterday, our Military Intelligence Bureau received a message from the Intelligence Bureau of the Army Garrison in India.

intelligence, at present, in the East Indies

Even in the Dongba area, small groups of Chinese troops have been found operating. The specific scope is currently being determined. However, one thing is certain. These small groups of Chinese troops entered the above-mentioned areas for the sake of their large troops.

Region, prepare!”

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a shock. The cabinet ministers and generals began to discuss among themselves. It turned out that the telegrams from Alexander and Adams were not alarmist fabrications, but factual. I really don’t understand.

When did the ambitions of the Chinese people expand to such an extent?

With the British Empire facing external and internal troubles, this is by no means good news. While discussing, many people had worried looks on their faces. The British Empire is really having a bad time, and misfortunes never come singly. In addition to the Germans attacking at their doorstep,

Chinese people who only deserve to be beaten dare to challenge them?

Churchill banged the table and shouted loudly: "It is already very obvious. The ambitions of the Chinese Tang Qiuli are in the overseas territories of our British Empire. The work of the Military Intelligence Agency is very effective. Okay, gentlemen.

We, now is not the time for discussion, but the time for us to make up our minds to thwart the Chinese conspiracy. Does anyone have any opinions?"

Only a fool would have an opinion. There are telegrams from the two commanders on the front line, intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and solid evidence. If you object again, you will become the target of public criticism and become the enemy of Prime Minister Churchill.

As a result, all the officials who attended the meeting raised their hands and unanimously approved the dispatch of reinforcements to the Indian army, which immediately went to the battlefield of Cido to rescue Alexander's surrounded troops.

At this time, Churchill showed his dictatorial side. He looked at the senior officials and said: "General Brandts, in the name of the General Staff, issued an order to form an eastward march with the existing troops stationed in India.

The legion was responsible for rescuing Alexander's troops and blocking Tang Qiuli's troops from attacking the East India region."

"As for the commander and command structure of this legion, it is composed of the secret team of the general staff that was sent to India before. I remember the team leader was called Chelsea, and he was a major general. He served as the commander, and his military rank was promoted to lieutenant general.

After the order, add a few words that the War Cabinet authorizes Commander Chelsea to operate without any restrictions on the manner and area of ​​operations."

This sentence has a great meaning. Chelsea can fight in any way, including some conventional and unconventional combat methods. If you have the ability, attack mainland China and destroy the Republic of China, I, Churchill, have no objection.

After saying this, Churchill said without even looking at him: "The meeting is over, everyone will go back to work immediately! Damn the Germans, how much trouble they have caused me!"

Then, with a cigar in his mouth and walking slowly, surrounded by several assistants, he left the conference room, completely ignoring the faces of the general and cabinet ministers with different expressions. Originally, there were several cabinet ministers,

I want to put forward some opinions. Now, let’s not talk too much. What is strong? This is that it does not even need to ask for everyone’s opinions. What is given directly is an order.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning on May 16, at the headquarters of the US military in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific in Manila, Luzon Island, the Philippines, Commander General MacArthur was reading a telegram, and Chief of Staff General Stilwell sat calmly.

On the sofa, because this telegram was sent by him, the content was already known.

Putting down the telegram, MacArthur looked very ugly. This telegram sent back by the liaison officer of the British Army brought him bad news, "Headquarters learned today that General Alexander retreated from Methkai Ridge in northern Myanmar.

The headquarters was blocked by Tang Qiuli's troops in the Xiduo area of ​​the Hukang River Valley. After a fierce battle all night, no result was achieved. Immediately, Tang Qiuli's pursuers arrived. Currently, the British army has been encircled in the Xiduo area."

MacArthur's first reaction was, "What is Tang Qiuli going to do? He has already repelled the British and caused Alexander a big loss, and he still wants to pursue them and hold on to them. Does Tang Qiuli insist on annihilating them all?"

Can’t Alexander’s troops do it?”

Until now, MacArthur has not noticed Tang Qiuli's strategic intention. He only feels that Tang Qiuli has gone too far. It is enough to teach Alexander a lesson. It would be unkind to kill everyone. No matter what,

It is said that the United States, Britain and China are still allies and are comrades in the same trench.

The same goes for Alexander. He couldn't even escape. He was cut off by others and didn't realize it until he hit the wall. I really don't know how he became the commander. Of course, these are small things that have nothing to do with the overall situation. Even if he takes action now

, could not save Alexander's fate, let alone, did he dare to deal with Tang Qiuli?

What made MacArthur most anxious was that Tang Qiuli's troops had been entangled for too long in the India-Myanmar border area, which affected the battle against Alexander at the end of May. Tang Qiuli personally commanded it, and he was now

Is such a small-scale battle in the Xiduo area worthy of his personal command? His men do not lack commanders, commanders, what does this mean? "

MacArthur suddenly shuddered and exclaimed in a low voice: "Could it be that Tang Qiuli wants to attack India? Oh my God! This is too crazy! The British will definitely fight back with all their might, and the battle in northern Burma will drag on for a long time.

, can only be beneficial to the Japanese! Damn the British, why did they want to offend that Tang Qiuli at this critical moment?"

Stilwell did not speak, and the office fell into silence. Both he and MacArthur understood that if their speculations became reality, then Tang Qiuli's ambition would be too terrifying. The entire Southeast Asia? First, the British and Japanese

Man, who will be the target next? He will become a more terrifying threat than the Japanese.

The current delicate balance in the situation in Southeast Asia will be broken to pieces. The person who will ultimately gain the greatest benefit must be Tang Qiuli. After a while, MacArthur said in a dry voice: "Chief of Staff Stilwell, report this matter immediately.

To the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, remember not to join in any of our judgments, as the country will always come up with corresponding countermeasures!"

Tang Qiuli commanded his troops to encircle tens of thousands of Alexander's remnant troops at Xiduo on the India-Myanmar border, and its influence was not limited to this.

On the afternoon of May 16th, in Singapore, the commander of Japan's Southeast Asia Expedition Force Headquarters, General Ito Genzaburo, looked at a piece of information in his hand and was so happy that his hands trembled slightly.
