Age of Conquest Reborn

General Stilwell, Chief of Staff of the US Army's Southeast Asia and South Pacific Headquarters, went into a rage because of an order from Commander-in-Chief General MacArthur. Even in the corridor of the impressive building of the US Army Headquarters, Chief of Staff Stilwell's roar could be heard.

MacArthur's expression changed. Ever since Stilwell walked into his office with a sour expression, he had a premonition that this Texas country cowboy must have had a bad temper again. He was dissatisfied with his orders and came to argue with him.

, or in other words, a knock on the door!

Stilwell's previous words were quite normal, but in MacArthur's ears, they were extremely harsh. If it weren't for the fact that these were troubled times and faced with great pressure from the Japanese, we needed someone who was practical, willing to do things, and extremely talented.

Chief of Staff to help him stabilize the situation. Just based on Stilwell's attitude, he would have kicked him out a long time ago!

MacArthur tolerated Stilwell's rudeness, but that didn't mean he accepted his suggestions, especially when he spoke to himself in the tone of teaching a primary school student. In this three-quarter acre of land, the boss's authority cannot be challenged!

In MacArthur's opinion, the reasons given by Stilwell were just showing off. He was also a battle-hardened veteran. How could he not see that this was a good opportunity to hit the Japanese hard? But Stilwell could only be called a soldier.

, rather than a politician, if he held Manila, MacArthur would be able to account for all aspects of the country, and he would not have to bear the crime of losing the city and the territory.

But once they failed to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in the Hillai Mountains, they were surrounded by the main follow-up force of the Japanese army. All the capital they had was spent. The Manila Defense War was just empty talk. If Manila was lost, how would you explain to the country?

As long as Manila is still in its hands, it means that the troops under its command are still fighting. It is impossible for the country to just sit idly by.

After gritting his teeth and persisting for a while, MacArthur himself had a clever plan to escape. Therefore, although the opportunity was good, it also coexisted with risks. If the Japanese army did not attack in an all-out manner and the battle only took place on Luzon Island, MacArthur did not mind and let Stilwell

We are going to fight this battle, but the current situation is absolutely not feasible. We cannot take risks and cause irreparable consequences.

Speaking of which, MacArthur was troubled enough in the past few days. The Japanese suddenly attacked. The war broke out. From the beginning, the U.S. troops in various places were in a state of retreat, and the battlefield was in a state of extreme chaos. Except for the Japanese troops who knew that they were attacking Luzon Island,

, apart from the specific situation, the battle situation in other places was all chaotic. The battle reports reported from various places did not even clarify the most basic situation of the Japanese troops attacking themselves.

Commanders from various places just exclaimed that the Japanese offensive was fierce and our army was retreating steadily. Otherwise, reinforcements were needed. To be honest, to this day, Commander-in-Chief MacArthur himself did not know that the Japanese had come up with this time.

What a huge cost. If calculated according to the figures reported by commanders from various places, the number of troops used by the Japanese this time actually reached an astonishing figure of more than two million people.

MacArthur himself didn't believe the panicked nonsense of these commanders. If the Japanese really dispatched more than two million troops, wouldn't the islands be filled with Japanese soldiers? But he couldn't grasp the real situation and sent it to the country himself.

Several telegrams were sent, but they could not provide accurate battlefield situation or the specific situation of the Japanese army. However, as long as we told the country that the Japanese were attacking us and the war broke out, the country would naturally have countermeasures.

But what made Commander-in-Chief MacArthur so depressed that he almost vomited blood was that it had been four days since the war broke out, and all the telegrams sent to the country were like sinking into the sea without any response. MacArthur, who was so anxious that his eyes were on fire and he was jumping to his feet, would

Will make peace

For eight generations, the ancestors of the big guys in the Department of Defense have been scolding them, including President Roosevelt. Of course, General MacArthur, the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, was still merciful and showed due respect, only greetings.

The president’s wife.

MacArthur couldn't understand, let alone tolerate, this kind of inefficiency in the country. It had been four days since the war broke out. Those big guys in the country, even if they were pig heads, should have an attitude, right? But they just kept silent and didn't even say a word.

There is no guiding opinion. Could it be that such a heavy burden is forced to be placed on one's shoulders?

MacArthur was waiting for news from the country until his eyes turned blue. The war situation continued to deteriorate. His order to the commanders of US military forces everywhere was, "Based on the actual situation on the battlefield, commanders at all levels can handle it accordingly!"

In fact, this is just a duck. You have the final say on how to fight. MacArthur no longer has much energy to take care of the war on the islands separated by the sea. The only thing he can do is to save Manila.

In anxiety, waiting for instructions from the country.

There is another person who makes MacArthur gnash his teeth with hatred, and that is Tang Qiuli, this unfaithful, cunning, greedy and despicable Chinese. If he follows his own "Operation Tiger Shark Plan" to attack the Japanese troops in Singapore on time,

If he had launched an attack, the current situation would not have happened. Wouldn't he be able to relax and watch the Chinese and Japanese fight to the death across the sea?

But if you think about it carefully, Tang Qiuli is not considered a breach of trust or a breach of contract. Stilwell was in Yangon, and the time agreed with Tang Qiuli to launch the attack was at the end of May or early June. The British provoked the attack in northern Myanmar.

During the war, most of Tang Qiuli's troops were transferred to northern Burma, which would delay the launch of the attack. However, the Japanese suddenly launched an attack at the end of May, making it impossible for MacArthur to accuse Tang Qiuli.

Speaking of which, MacArthur felt like he had eaten something unclean but couldn't spit it out, so he kept it in his heart, making his internal organs unhappy. Who could he blame? The British? Tang Qiuli?

Neither of those can.

If we have to find a far-fetched reason to position Tang Qiuli as a treacherous character, it would be that Tang Qiuli and the Japanese had reached some kind of tacit understanding in private and joined forces to deal with him.

Such reasons discouraged even MacArthur himself, who had always been unscrupulous. He knew too well the inextricable hatred between Tang Qiuli and the Japanese, the bloody battles between mainland China and Indochina, and the two

Countries and two nations have long been mortal enemies. If MacArthur himself didn't believe that Tang Qiuli was in cahoots with the Japanese, would others still believe it?

All kinds of anxieties and evil fires were accumulated in his heart. At this time, MacArthur's inner emotions were like a barrel of gunpowder. Now, Stilwell, a guy who didn't know the importance of advance and retreat, actually knocked on the door and said arrogantly and ignorantly.

For saying such ugly words, MacArthur himself was not a good man and a believer. He couldn't touch the tiger's butt, and Stilwell directly choked his lungs, making his face extremely ugly!

But Stilwell was furious and ignored MacArthur's expression and continued to roar: "General MacArthur, because of your unreasonable order, our U.S. Army will lose its only chance to reverse the situation in Luzon Island.

You will be fully responsible for all the consequences caused by this. Thousands of American soldiers will lose their precious lives because of your stupid order!"

"The interests of our United States of America will also be lost because of you. I cannot tolerate your stupid actions. I will sue you to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. If necessary, I will forcibly deprive you of your command! For this reason,

We American soldiers will not lose their lives innocently because of this!"

"Bang!" There was a crash, and the furious MacArthur slammed the coffee cup in his hand to the ground. The amber coffee splashed on the marble floor, like dark red blood, splashing on the marble floor.

On Diwei's military pants.

To be honest, Stilwell's last few words were indeed excessive. He could scold MacArthur, and he could even accuse him, but he could not say that, as a subordinate chief of staff, he forcibly deprived a commander-in-chief of his command authority.

If MacArthur wanted to make use of the topic and go to the line, Stilwell would be guilty of the grave crime of attempted rebellion, and he would not be guilty of killing him on the spot.

MacArthur did not roar desperately like Stilwell, but his face was ashen, his eyes were filled with cold light, his tone was frighteningly cold, and he said word by word: "Chief of Staff Stilwell, pay attention to your

I am the commander-in-chief appointed by the President of the United States and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. You have no right to accuse me like this. Since you want the power to lead troops, fine, I will give it to you."

"The commander of the Eighth Infantry Division, Major General James, returned to China to recuperate due to illness. The position of division commander is vacant. I appoint you as the commander of the Eighth Infantry Division. Commander Stilwell, you will become the first in the history of the United States Army.

A division commander with the rank of lieutenant general, and the mission of the Eighth Infantry Division is to block the Japanese 103rd and 104th Divisions in the Hilai Mountains and continue their invasion of Batangas and Amoshir."

"Without my order, the Eighth Infantry Division is not allowed to retreat even half a step. Otherwise, you, the division commander, will be prepared to be arrested by the military police. At the same time, your position as chief of staff of the headquarters has been officially dismissed. Immediately report to Chief of Staff Kleist

Colonel handed over the work at hand. By the way, Kleist will be my acting chief of staff. Commander Stilwell, you can go and disappear from my eyes immediately. You will never appear without my summons.

In front of me!"

Stilwell's face lost all color in an instant and became as white as a piece of paper. His calmness after losing his mind and anger made him realize how much taboos he had committed with his actions and words. If MacArthur was willing, the military police

Just outside the door, waiting for him will be the trial of a military court, and the new appointment is equivalent to a reminder.

Stilwell knew that his trip to the Hilley Mountains would be a disaster, but his bounden duty as a soldier still required him to make the last effort and said to MacArthur: "Commander-in-Chief, as Chief of Staff, this is my last address to you.

Make suggestions, let’s ask the Chinese Tang Qiuli for help!”
