Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1481: The lack of guns and guns is difficult to assemble

The British Army's Eastward March in India is absolutely empty. It has a designation and an organization, but it lacks soldiers and guns. After reading all the information, Lieutenant General Chelsea, the commander of the army, felt as if he had eaten something unclean. From the bottom of his heart,

Reverse outward.

Speaking of which, Lieutenant General Chelsea is also a well-known figure in the British General Staff. He serves as the deputy director of the Operations Bureau of the General Staff. Among the young generals of the British Army, he is known as the best tactician. Originally,

He came to the Indian mainland with great ambitions. From being a man of the office and being good at dancing, to taking charge of the military in one place, it was a qualitative leap.

The only purpose of Prime Minister Churchill and Chief of General Staff Admiral Brandts in sending Chelsea to India this time was to take Alexander's place, rectify the army stationed in India, and get promoted to a higher rank. The most important thing was to do that.

, has become a prince and has the right to speak. If you want to make achievements in the Indian continent and want to honor your ancestors, it will be easy.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Alexander did it very simply. He demobilized all the elite troops stationed in India and took them to the battlefield in northern Myanmar. What was left for Chelsea was an empty frame, which was less than ten troops when full.

A force of ten thousand people is still a mess.

Chelsea had to solve two problems. The weapons and equipment of the troops, the time to gather the troops, and the weapons and equipment provided by the Americans were all taken away by Alexander. Not even a good rifle was left behind, which made Chelsea gnash his teeth with hatred.

Now that there was a precedent, Chelsea turned his attention to the Americans again. In the name of the Commander of the British Empire's Eastward Regiment in India, he sent a long letter to General MacArthur, Commander of the U.S. Army's Southeast Asia and South Pacific Headquarters.

The telegram contained only one content: We wanted guns, cannons, ammunition, materials, supplies, tanks and trucks. In short, we wanted everything except American soldiers!

Chelsea has also thought about it. The United Kingdom and the United States are now grasshoppers tied together. To put it nicely, they are closely related. Since they have supported a large number of weapons, equipment and supplies for the troops stationed in India before, this time the Americans are even more

I couldn't refuse, so I just gave it a try. Americans are fat and strong, and have a big family and a big business, so they won't be in trouble.

After MacArthur received the telegram, his brows furrowed into a big pimple. Weapons, equipment and supplies were not a problem. It was said that he could equip 100,000, or even 200,000 people. He could afford it himself, and the things shipped from the country were almost piled up.

The warehouse was full, and it was originally prepared by an Englishman. What worried him was not these, but another problem.

After careful consideration, he himself was a little undecided, so he invited Chief of Staff Stilwell to discuss the matter together. This time, MacArthur did not sit back and watch the fight.

He said to Stilwell: "The British are asking for things again. This is not a problem. My biggest worry is that the British have depleted all the troops stationed in India and formed the East March Corps to fight on the India-Burma border. If Tang

Qiu Li really has ambitions for the South Asian subcontinent. After the British are defeated again, wouldn't that mean giving up India? This is definitely not a good phenomenon for us, Stilwell, what do you think?"

Stilwell was not polite and said bluntly: "Your Excellency, Commander, with the current strength and quality of the British troops in India, even if we provide all the equipment and supplies, do you think it is possible for them to win?

"

MacArthur slowly shook his head, not optimistic about the young and energetic Chelsea. Stilwell went on to say: "Alexander's troops, in the Xiduo area on the India-Burma border, are in dire straits. Regardless of the strength of the troops and the morale of the soldiers,

have reached the lowest point. With Tang Qiuli's fighting style, it is not difficult to completely annihilate the British army. However, two days have passed since the siege of Xiduo, and Tang Qiuli has never taken action. This includes

What kind of conspiracy is this?"

MacArthur was suddenly startled, and his face changed drastically and he said: "Stilwell, you mean to say that Tang Qiuli surrounded Alexander but did not attack it in order to attract the British to come to the rescue, and then attack and destroy them on the way.

The last British troops in the Indian continent, God, what a terrifying scene this is, the ambition of the Chinese is indeed in the Indian continent!"

Stilwell nodded with a stern expression and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, based on my understanding of Tang Qiuli, I cannot rule out the possibility of this happening. Therefore, the only thing we have to do is to remind the British that in Impa

You can gather forces, but you must not go deep into the India-Myanmar border to fight Tang Qiuli's troops, otherwise it will be an irreversible disaster!"

Stilwell's opinion was indeed a wise one. The British troops stationed in India gathered in Imphal and put up a posture to block the westward march of the Army Division to the Indian mainland. After Tang Qiuli killed Alexander's troops,

, seeing that the British were prepared and would never dare to advance westward rashly, then it would be meaningless for his troops to stay in the Hukang Valley. In this way, the war between the British and Tang Qiuli would be over.

.

For the first time, MacArthur was convinced of Stilwell's opinion. He immediately wrote a letter in person and replied to Lieutenant General Chelsea with an equally long telegram. The long telegram had only one core purpose: to remind Lieutenant General Chelsea that he must not go to the rescue.

Alexander, the soldiers you have in your hand are no match for Tang Qiuli. It would be useless if you go there. If you don't do it well, you might as well get yourself involved.

MacArthur was definitely well-intentioned, but due to his character, between the lines, he unknowingly pretended to teach younger generations, pointing fingers and talking about Tang Qiuli's power, perhaps in order to be more convincing, and telegraphed

At the end, the example of Alexander was also used to give his own personal explanation.

"In short, the situation facing the British army is very dangerous. General Alexander despised Tang Qiuli and was blindly optimistic about the prospects of the war, which led to the current defeat. I hope General Chelsea will not repeat the same mistakes and stick to Imphal.

This is the best policy, otherwise, it will definitely lead to defeat. The current strength of the British Empire's troops in India is not enough to fight!"

Isn't there a saying that goes, "A pouty mule can be sold for a donkey's price, but it's cheap!" MacArthur made this mistake. After Chelsea received the call back, she exploded on the spot!

"What do you mean, MacArthur? I haven't sent troops here yet, and you are categorically deciding that I will definitely fail. There is no such curse method for cursing people? You look down on us British people, and you think that Alexander and I are stupid and incompetent."

Compared with the old guy, can he talk? Besides, whether to go eastward and rescue Alexander is beyond my control, so what's the use of telling me this?"

Chelsea's face turned livid with anger, and she didn't reply in a good voice, "Your Excellency, General MacArthur, the call has been received, the troops are ready to go, and the arrows are on the bow. No one needs to tell the generals of the British Empire what to do. I am only sure of one thing. Before,

Is the agreement between Britain and the United States still valid? If it is valid, please implement all the terms of the agreement immediately!"

The tone was blunt and unceremonious, but he was also confident. In a simple sentence, my troops have been prepared and are just waiting for you Americans, guns and ammunition. Do you want to give them to me or not?

Let me put it mildly. As for your useless nonsense, I didn’t mention it at all. I just brushed it aside and ignored it. Who do you think you are, MacArthur? The God of War is reborn? Thousands of miles away, you are gesticulating.

.

Chelsea's call back was like a basin of ice-cold water, pouring over MacArthur's head. What's this? I finally tried to be a good person, but in exchange for this result, MacArthur

I lament in my heart, it’s hard to be a good person, it’s hard to be a good person!

It's none of my business that you British people are going to die on your own. MacArthur also became stubborn and ordered Chief of Staff Stilwell to meet the British needs according to the conditions listed by Chelsea. Guns, ammunition and supplies will be allocated in full.

, I was so angry that I ran to Kalimantan Island to inspect the defense, out of sight and out of mind.

The problem of weapons and equipment has finally been solved. The second thing that troubled Chelsea is the time to assemble the troops. If Imphal is compared to a big pit, the British and Indian troops scattered in every corner of the Indian continent.

Like small streams, they flow slowly and continuously. However, the pit is too big. Only God knows when it will be filled!

Chelsea was discouraged. According to this gathering speed, his legion would not be able to reach full strength in another month. The troops were already insufficient, so he couldn't just come and start a group, right? It's not like he was going to the market!

Chelsea began to curse, cursing the roads in India, which were more difficult to travel than the bloody trails in the British countryside, and scolding the officer in charge of transportation. His head was kicked by a donkey, so he didn't know how to think of a way to speed up the assembly, so he just complained to himself.

, scolding the troops for moving at a snail's pace is just to praise them, it's like having dry shit, but scolding cannot solve the actual difficulties.

The General Staff sent one telegram a day to ask about the preparations of the Eastward March Army. That damn old bastard Alexander also sent two telegrams a day to report the emergency to the country. Together, they almost drove Commander Chelsea crazy!

There was really no other way. Chelsea's staff team proposed a compromise plan. Based on the principle of proximity, each division and brigade was divided into a number of assembly areas. During this period, the transportation department raised vehicles and concentrated transportation, and finally

Imphal is the general assembly point. This can greatly speed up the assembly, and the troops can arrive in an organized manner.

The British and Indian Army's eastward march changed the way they were assembled, and the direct impact it brought was to completely change the way of fighting on the East India battlefield.
