Age of Conquest Reborn

The telegram, a telegram that made General MacArthur, the commander of the U.S. Army's Southeast Asia and South Pacific Headquarters, extremely anxious and restless in anticipation, finally saw it.

Buried in a pile of telegrams like snowflakes, it lasted four days.

With this telegram received at 9:43 a.m. on June 1st, no one else can know the mood of the Commander-in-Chief at this moment, but General MacArthur himself knows that he just wants to kill people! Pick up a Tom

Use your submachine gun to beat the losers in the Confidential Communications Department into a sieve. Otherwise, the general himself doesn’t even know whether he will be so angry that he will go insane?

The Lieutenant Colonel, looking at the dark clouds on His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief's face, made an excuse and was about to run away. He suddenly heard a loud shout of "Stop!" When he looked back, he immediately trembled like chaff and was so scared that he almost fainted.

In the past, His Excellency the General had a fierce look in his eyes, holding up a gun with a black muzzle, pointing it at his head.

At this time, MacArthur definitely had the idea of ​​​​shooting the lieutenant colonel's head. Moreover, this idea was very strong and tempting. He needed a way to vent his anger.

However, MacArthur did not fire in the end. He slowly put away his rifle and looked at his subordinates with disdain. His bloodless face made him extremely disgusted.

He turned around and shouted, "Here comes someone!"

Two tall and strong military policemen entered in response to the call. MacArthur ordered: "Arrest this person immediately and imprison him. Also, arrest and examine all personnel of the Confidential Communications Office! Screen them one by one, especially those between June 1st and June 1st."

Officers on duty for the fourth day, execute immediately!"

The lieutenant colonel, who had lost his consciousness and was like a puppet, was carried out by two burly military policemen, one on each side. It was only then that he regained his vitality and saved his life, right under the general's arm.

***, when pointing at his head, the Lieutenant Colonel felt so close to death. He had no doubt that the Commander-in-Chief had a strong desire to kill him!

In fact, the fundamental reason that saved the lieutenant colonel's life was not the kindness in General MacArthur's heart, but the gentlemanly demeanor that the general always paid attention to and the pride in his bones. He did not want the blood of a little lieutenant colonel to stain his hands.

,Besides, even if you kill him, it will not help. The head of a lieutenant colonel is not enough to make up for the loss. It will also ruin your own reputation!

In the office, it was quiet again. MacArthur stood in trance for a while. He began to rack his brains to think about how to call back the country. Now, what he needed most urgently was reinforcements, all-round reinforcements, aircraft, artillery, tanks, troops.

, supplies, etc., he knew better that his current strength alone was not enough to withstand the fierce attacks of the Japanese on various battlefields.

There is a big trouble. Several telegrams came from the country, asking about the situation on various battlefields. Unfortunately, because of the reasons at the headquarters, it was delayed for four full days. If the country knew about it, the confidential department of the dignified General MacArthur's headquarters,

What would you think of yourself if you did such a ridiculous and unforgivable thing?

What kind of stupidity and incompetence, arrogant troops, internal chaos, etc., have become the laughing stock of ridicule. This is something that cannot be tolerated by MacArthur, who always pays attention to reputation. What worries him most is the president and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

, there are many big shots in the country who doubt their own abilities, who support and appreciate themselves, but there are also many politicians who hate themselves and wish that they would be in bad luck and never be able to recover from their fall.

How to avoid the occurrence of such bad things, let the country understand their current situation, and cleverly avoid embarrassing and embarrassing things, without being humble and begging, and at the same time, be able to show that they have good command, soldiers are loyal to their lives, and fight with the Japanese in blood

The image of fighting hard, and being able to come to the rescue without sacrificing his status as a matter of course, is a matter that requires Commander-in-Chief MacArthur's writing skills.

A few hours later, after exhausting countless brain cells and almost draining all the effort, a telegram full of MacArthur style asking for help was finally released, "Your Excellency the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it is with a very heavy heart that I report to the country that the

A series of battles took place on the Pacific battlefield, and I frankly expressed my opinions on the outcome of the war in this state."

"As of today, June 4, Luzon, Mindanao, Sumatra, Kalimantan and Java are all in the midst of fierce fighting. My subordinates told me that the intensity of the Japanese attack was beyond imagination.

Starting from June 1st, the fighting reached a fever pitch, and the hastily organized resistance by our U.S. Army failed to slow down the Japanese attack."

"Since the outbreak of the war, all the unfavorable factors are on our side. The U.S. Army can only resist step by step and work hard to defend several key points, including Manila, Laoag, and Mindanao on Luzon Island.

Zamboanga in Kalimantan, Banyan Tree in Kalimantan, Palembang in Sumatra, Jakarta in Java, Surabaya and other places.”

"The only thing I can do is to command my troops and fight to the death against the superior Japanese army before domestic reinforcements arrive, so as to preserve several footholds for the United States of America in the South Pacific and a springboard for future counterattacks. The battle is still going on.

It continues, there is smoke everywhere, and every moment, my soldiers are suffering huge casualties."

"Facing the vicious Japanese soldiers, my troops will not give up every inch of the land. This land belongs to the glorious and great United States of America. Fight! My soldiers and I will continue to fight until the last breath of our lives. Finally, please refer to

On my behalf, the Federation would like to convey a message to all the American people: As an American, when our national interests are invaded, our lives will not stop and our fight will not stop! My soldiers and I are fulfilling this promise!"

It should be admitted that MacArthur's writing style is good. This telegram has a very sensational effect. It is full of urgency, but not a word reveals the details of panic. Moreover, it is grand and righteous, but the meaning behind it is clear and unmistakable.

If we give reinforcements, my troops will be exhausted. If the big guys in the country are willing to part with this rich colony, then you can just sit back and watch!"

In fact, the above-mentioned points mentioned by MacArthur were all imagined out of thin air. He himself did not know whether the U.S. military forces scattered on several islands were really what he said in his call back to China.

After desperately defending several key points, the commanders under their command sent telegrams to the headquarters. In addition to asking for soldiers and reinforcements, the rest was panicked and exclaimed, "The Japanese army is fierce!"

The battlefield was so chaotic that MacArthur didn't even know how many of his troops were still there, where they were still fighting, and whether they were still fighting. He even thought that there were probably troops that had surrendered to the Japanese, right? However, this did not affect

At the very least, Manila cannot lose the content of his call back to China.

After writing the telegram, he didn't even use his staff. The Commander-in-Chief, who always valued his status, went to the confidential communications office himself, watched the telegraph operator with his own eyes, and sent the telegram out. He was afraid, afraid that these idiots would temporarily

Piecing it together from various departments, the operators of the newly formed Confidential Communications Division should commit suicide if they make the same mistake again!

After sending this flowery telegram, MacArthur did not feel relaxed. He knew very well that even if the country believed his words and realized the crisis in the South Pacific battlefield, reinforcements would leave the country in less than two weeks.

Unable to reach the battlefield, during this period, he was not sure whether his troops could withstand the Japanese attack.

The most terrible thing is that the chaos of each battlefield makes it impossible for him to control the troops. Even in the most basic situation, he wants to issue orders, but even he cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the orders. Thinking of himself, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops

, but now he could only give orders on Luzon Island. MacArthur felt sad in his heart, but he immediately sat down.

This time, it was a telegram sent to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government in Chongqing. The telegram was very simple, asking the Chinese government to send troops to join the South Pacific battlefield and attack the Japanese army from behind. This telegram asking the Chinese government to send troops was in no way a domestic telegram.

That way, racking your brains makes you feel a little more confident.

According to MacArthur's thinking, he had reason to request the Chinese government. The reason is very simple. Two years ago, in order to curb the expansion of Tang Qiuli's power, in the name of the US military's Southeast Asia and South Pacific regional headquarters, he assisted ten divisions of the Central Army's American

I am the one in charge of the equipment, and now it is the Chinese’s turn to contribute.

There is nothing in the world that can only benefit without doing anything. In this telegram, there is also a little conspiracy of MacArthur. He knew that he could not ask for help from Tang Qiuli, who was extremely ambitious, rebellious, greedy and cunning.

The Chinese themselves cannot do anything, but through the Chinese government, they can take a roundabout route to put pressure on the Chinese and force Tang Qiuli to send troops to the South Pacific.

According to MacArthur's judgment, it is unlikely that Chairman Chiang will send troops. Otherwise, he would not hide in Chongqing and place his direct troops in the rear. If the Nationalist Government does not send troops, there is still a reason to evade it.

Tang Qiuli's ** division, which was the closest to the battlefield, would inevitably bear the responsibility of sending troops, and he could not shirk it.

Isn’t that Chairman Chiang still serving as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Asian Theater? According to the alliance’s military mutual assistance agreement, it is a matter of course for the Chinese to send troops to help the US military. Of course, what is the relationship between Chairman Chiang and Tang Qiuli?

Negotiations and how to fight are the Chinese people's own business. General MacArthur does not care about these. He only needs to put Tang Qiuli in a position where he cannot maneuver.

All the telegrams that should be sent have been sent, and all the means that should be used have been used. The rest, MacArthur can only wait patiently!
