Age of Conquest Reborn

It's not scary to be across the vast sea. What's scary is that there are two Japanese fleets on the sea. The British-Australian Army Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Fernandez, finally understands that if one hundred thousand soldiers continue to stay in Luzon, it will be a dead end. They withdraw.

The Australian continent is in a state of uncertainty.

If the Japanese don't intercept and kill at sea, everything will go smoothly. However, even if you think about it with the back of your head, can the Japanese let go of such a good opportunity? Of course not. Now, Commander-in-Chief Fernandez hates this bastard MacArthur to death.

.

If it hadn't been for this hateful American who repeatedly forced himself to send troops to reinforce Luzon Island, leaving Australia empty of defense forces, how could the Japanese have easily landed? How could he have been defeated by the Japanese within six hours?

The arrogant, self-righteous American bastard was thrown into disrepair, and the reason why Australia is in today's situation is all thanks to this American.

Admiral Fernandez, who looked haggard and exhausted, cursed MacArthur countless times in the most vicious words. Instead of venting his inner anger, he became even more anxious. There was only one reason. The 100,000 troops returning to Australia needed a fleet.

To escort, I do have a task force in my hands, but the most terrible thing is that there is no aircraft carrier, which means there are no carrier-based aircraft.

Since the early morning of August 25, when the Japanese attack began, more than 90% of the land-based airports scattered on the Australian mainland were destroyed. The air power of the Australian troops stationed in Australia was almost completely lost, and they were able to take off for combat.

There are less than eighty fighter jets. Such a small amount of air power is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for a huge fleet transporting 100,000 soldiers. It is useless.

If the Japanese are ruthless and intercept the troop transport formation at sea, the few remaining fighter jets they have in hand will be drowned in the rain of bullets from the Japanese fighter groups as dense as locusts once they are put into battle, and they will be destroyed in an instant.

Tear it into pieces and serve it as a side dish to Japanese people.

After receiving a telegram from Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Wagner, he learned that the troop transport fleet had left the Philippine waters. Admiral Fernandez was anxious and worried that he could not let the unarmed troop transport ship with one hundred thousand soldiers just like this.

maritime

Just wait and see, the Japanese can send a hundred thousand soldiers to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean without even using planes and just a few warships. They have no choice but to cut off their last hope. They hurriedly sent the task force to escort them. Then, they waited in fear.

information.

General Fernandez was besieged internally and externally. On the one hand, he had to deal with the Japanese attack and try to gather the scattered troops, even if he didn't know where they were. He also had to contact them as much as possible. On the other hand, he was worried about the troop transport ships at sea.

Team, don't be intercepted and killed by the Japanese. However, after most of the day, the general, who is known for his gentlemanly demeanor, became old and haggard, with wrinkles all over his face, swollen eyelids, and he wobbled when he walked.

He now regrets that he should not have been so hasty in ordering troops to come back for reinforcements. A troop transport fleet without fleets and carrier-based aircraft escorts, facing Japanese warships and aircraft on the vast sea, is like a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

His reckless actions may cost the lives of 100,000 soldiers. Worry, anxiety, fear, confusion, uncertainty and helplessness about the future all tortured General Fernandez's already overloaded heart.

After finally getting through a whole day, the "rumbling" sounds of guns and artillery were far behind. After more than ten hours and more than 300 kilometers of running, I could no longer smell the ferocious breath of the Japanese soldiers.

By the evening of August 25th, it was temporarily safe.

The British and Australian troops following General Fernandez were about two poorly organized divisions and more than 13,000 people. This was the largest force he could gather. The other troops were probably dispersed by the Japanese.

, are running along different routes to the Australian outback.

Arriving at a small town that had not yet been affected by the war, General Fernandez issued an order for the troops to camp here. Fortunately, the residents of the small town, mostly their own British compatriots, did their best to entertain them with a little incense.

These lost and frightened soldiers, more than 10,000 of them, finally did not sleep in the open air, and had their first decent dinner after their hasty retreat.

After the mayor of the small town learned that General Fernandez was the highest official in Australia, he immediately took out the best wine at home, carefully cooked hometown dishes, and held a small party for the frightened Lord General.

At the small welcome dinner, faced with the fine wine and delicacies that he had to enjoy for the first time since the retreat, General Fernandez had no appetite at all. He felt that his chest was congested, as if he was pressed by a huge stone, and he couldn't breathe!

The exhausted and exhausted General could not even hold on until the end of the dinner. With the help of the orderly, he stumbled into the bedroom carefully prepared by the owner. After the orderly exited, General Fernandez lay on the soft bed and stared.

With dull eyes, he unconsciously looked at the chandelier above his head. He was unable to sort out a clear context for the situation in Australia. There was chaos everywhere.

"Perhaps by tomorrow, this place will be occupied by the Japanese army," General Fernandez sighed and thought to himself. Then, he fell asleep in a daze, as if he had just closed his eyes when he was awakened by a strong knock on the door.

He suddenly jumped up from the bed, his heart beating violently, "Could it be bad news? The troop transport formation was intercepted and killed by the Japanese fleet at sea?"

Admiral Fernandez thought to himself, and at the same time, pray to God that such a tragic thing will never happen. He opened the door and saw Colonel Griffiths, the director of communications, holding a telegram in his hand, with excitement on his face.

He came in anxiously with a look of disbelief.

Before General Fernandez could ask, Colonel Griffiths said almost incoherently: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, our Communications Office just received a strange telegram. It was more than a year ago when we went to Manila to join the alliance for you*

The password and radio call sign prepared for the *Council meeting, unexpectedly, today, the radio station that has been silent for a year received this telegram as soon as it was turned on!"

Colonel Griffiths rambled for a long time without telling the specific content of the telegram, which confused General Fernandez and said impatiently: "Graffiths, don't be verbose and read the contents of the telegram quickly!"

After Colonel Griffiths read the telegram, General Fernandez was stunned, "What? My God, is this true? That Chinese Tang Qiuli will dispatch more than 1,500 planes to return

Australian troop transport fleet escort, am I not dreaming?"

General Fernandez's current mood was like seeing God appearing in front of him. He had an unreal and unbelievable feeling, "Your Excellency, General! Your Excellency, General! Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Colonel Griffiths saw that His Excellency the General's pupils were dilated.

His expression was strange, as if he would be called by God at any time. He was scared and called in a hurry.

The General's eyes began to focus, and Colonel Griffith said: "Your Excellency, this telegram is strange. I think it is probably a trap by the Japanese! Perhaps their spies have stolen our

This code and this station’s call sign!”

"Trap?" General Fernandez calmed down from the ecstasy and muttered. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He grabbed Colonel Griffith's collar and shouted loudly: "No, this is not a Japanese trap.

, I remembered that when we were in Manila, I personally gave this set of codes and radio call signs to Tang Qiuli in order to facilitate the communication between the various Allied forces!"

Letting go of the dumbfounded and almost suffocated Colonel Griffiths, General Fernandez was almost crazy and murmured: "Oh my God! This is really unbelievable. It happened at the most critical moment for our British Imperial Army.

It turned out to be a telegram from Chinese Tang Qiuli, saying that the lives of the 100,000 soldiers returning to Australia are guaranteed!"

Turning around, he said to Colonel Griffiths, the already dumbfounded Communications Director: "Graffiths, call Tang Qiuli back immediately without delaying for a minute. Do exactly what he said. Our destiny is in China's hands."

In human hands, remember, at the end of the telegram,

In addition, the safety of the lives of 100,000 British and Australian soldiers must be entrusted to General Tang! Also, this radio station will be immediately listed as a top-secret radio station. It must be turned on 24 hours a day, with highly skilled officers on duty day and night, at any time.

Keep in touch with General Tang and go quickly!"

Seeing that Colonel Griffiths was still poking around like a stupid goose, looking at him blankly, General Fernandez yelled at him. Colonel Griffiths trembled all over, and woke up after a few steps.

He ran out and disappeared in a flash.

General Fernandez lay on the bed again, unable to believe that this was true. He could not understand what purpose or psychology Tang Qiuli had for suddenly taking action to help the British Imperial Army, which was already in dire straits, because in the UK

In the eyes of people, especially the British upper class, this Chinese has been completely demonized. More than once, I saw Prime Minister Churchill gnashing his teeth and cursing this Chinese.

Listing him as an evil person like Hitler, Emperor Hirohito, and Stalin is also true. This Chinese has taken away so many overseas interests from the British Empire, including the entire Indochina Peninsula, most of the Indian continent, and northern Burma.

In the Hukang Valley, hundreds of thousands of Alexander's elite troops were killed in his hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was the mortal enemy of the British Empire.

Thinking of this, General Fernandez suddenly sat up. He thought of a terrible question. This time, Tang Qiuli took the initiative to cover 100,000 British and Australian soldiers and returned to Australia. Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to get involved in Australia?
