Age of Conquest Reborn

I don’t know if the host, General Fernandez, did it intentionally or by omission, or because of selective amnesia. The welcome banquet he held included officers with the rank of colonel or above from the American, Philippine, British, and Australian armies. Only one person was missing.

, leader of the military observation team at the U.S. Allied Forces Headquarters, general strategic adviser to the U.S. Southwest Pacific Theater, and Army four-star general General MacArthur.

Perhaps General Fernandez was very indifferent to this arrogant and arrogant American who nearly killed one hundred thousand of his soldiers on the Luzon battlefield. Perhaps it was because of his bad comments on MacArthur's personal integrity, and

It was despicable to leave his subordinates who were fighting a bloody battle with the Japanese army and run to Australia alone. Perhaps, the equally arrogant British general did not want to see that disgusting face.

Therefore, at the grand welcome banquet, General MacArthur, who always liked to show off, was missing. Lieutenant General Jonathan certainly noticed this, but Lieutenant General Jonathan, who had been in the U.S. Army for most of his life, probably guessed it.

At the same time, he was also quite disgusted with his former boss, the Lieutenant General. Not to mention that he had repeatedly suppressed his correct suggestions. Just abandoning the troops and running away alone was not worthy of his respect.

The most likely thing is that General Fernandez and Lieutenant General Jonathan both have a common point of view. Without the presence of the old guy MacArthur, the atmosphere will be more harmonious and pleasant, and they will be even more ashamed to be in the company of him. Therefore, His Excellency, the General, simply

He didn't mention this issue, so the Lieutenant General just pretended not to know and didn't ask a word.

However, the two top commanders, who both deliberately avoided, suddenly came and made up their minds to be an uninvited guest. The officer who served as the master of ceremonies at the door did not know the joints. When he saw General MacArthur, he stood up and raised his chest.

walked in and shouted hurriedly: "General MacArthur, the leader of the military observation team at the U.S. Allied Forces Headquarters, is here!"

MacArthur was very dissatisfied with this British major officer for not calling him another title, General Strategic Advisor of the United States Southwest Pacific Theater. He snorted in his nose as an answer. Of course, such a little person is not worthy of a general.

Please show him the color.

There was silence in the hall, and all the officers' eyes were turned to this almost notorious American general. The eyes of the British and Australian military officers were filled with disdain and surprise. The American and Philippine officers who escaped from death on Luzon Island.

You can see the dancing flames in your eyes.

MacArthur came here very angry. After hearing the report from his adjutant, he was so angry that he cursed the British guy, smashed his favorite Chinese tea set, and then drove here angrily. No, no.

Invite me, I will come on my own. There is no such person in Asia and the Pacific yet. Do not take me, MacArthur, seriously. When I opened up territories for the United States of America, many of you were still in the boot camp.

Here, I sweat every day!

MacArthur had developed a face as thick as the city walls. He was not afraid of the different looks directed at him. He opened his arms and exaggeratedly said: "My brave officers, as your former superiors, welcome you to Australia."

This is a beautiful and magical land. The so-called different paths lead to the same destination. I arrived one step ahead of you just to be here today and warmly welcome you!"

MacArthur did not lower his open arms. He was looking forward to a few officers whom he had single-handedly promoted to come up and give him a warm hug. It would be best to shed a few tears of excitement. This would be perfect. At the same time,

, to tell all officers who is in charge at the Allied headquarters.

However, MacArthur was disappointed. It was an extremely embarrassing disappointment. The American and Philippine military officers were heartbroken by the despicable behavior of their former boss, abandoning the troops and escaping on his own. In the following days, they had nightmares with the Japanese army.

After such a bloody battle, this sadness turned into hatred. In the eyes of the British and Australian military officers, the American general had become a laughing stock and an object of contempt, so no officer came forward to greet him.

In fact, MacArthur didn't even move his steps, just looked at his former boss like a clown with cold eyes. MacArthur just opened his arms in embarrassment and couldn't let go. He was in the cold. Lieutenant General Jonathan sighed in his heart, which was MacArthur's loss.

After showing off his beautiful face, I was filled with hatred, and I was helpless because this old guy came uninvited. In my heart, I had scolded MacArthur countless times.

Others can slap MacArthur in the face without hesitation, but he can't. If he continues to be embarrassed like this, it is not just MacArthur who is embarrassed, but all the US military officers. He has to bite the bullet and take on this situation.

Lieutenant General Jonathan stepped forward to greet you, followed the rules, stood at attention, saluted, and said: "General, I am very happy to see you in Australia. Please accept my salute to you on behalf of all American and Philippine military officers!"

Lieutenant General Jonathan is giving MacArthur a step down. I hope this shameless and narcissistic old guy can use the slope to find a deserted corner, squint obediently, and stop embarrassing himself in public.

When he saw it, he was surprised. Could it be that this old guy couldn't see the look in the eyes of the officers who had evacuated from Luzon Island, who could almost kill him a hundred times?

MacArthur's face finally did not fall to the ground. No matter what Lieutenant General Jonathan thought, he gave him a big hug and said in a coquettish tone: "Ah, dear Jonathan, I am very

It is my honor to be willing to accept the respect of my subordinates!"

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Jonathan almost fainted, and all he could think about was the English word "I'm convinced!" It was estimated that even God would have to flee in front of this old guy, but he couldn't escape.

Since MacArthur arrived uninvited, General Fernandez did not want to let the officers see his true inner thoughts on the surface. Besides, Lieutenant General Jonathan's face was also involved, so he endured the nausea and forced himself to

Squeezing out a smile, he said: "Welcome General MacArthur to join this joyful banquet. Please sit here!" He stretched out his hand and moved him to the seat of the guest of honor. MacArthur looked proud and sat down unceremoniously.

Logically speaking, MacArthur showed up uninvited and showed his face, and the performance was over. Even though he ate a fly for all the officers attending the welcome banquet, he still earned some face, and he was with tonight's two giants.

We were all in the same place, we gently opened this page, and the rest of the banquet went on normally, which was considered a happy outcome for everyone.

But people like MacArthur were born to make people unhappy. He was the kind of person who would feel uncomfortable unless something happened. After drinking a glass of champagne, he looked at Lieutenant General Jonathan and said arrogantly.

Asked: "Jonathan, tell me, have all the troops safely evacuated to Australia?"

Lieutenant General Jonathan's face darkened, as if he was recalling the Manila Defense Line and the unbearable bloody battles of those days. He did not notice MacArthur's tone and replied: "Every unit has suffered heavy losses. The 11th Infantry Division and the Philippine 3rd Infantry Division have suffered heavy losses."

The Third Division of the First Army Corps was surrounded by the Japanese army on the way back and was completely wiped out. The current strength of the army is about 170,000, and all vehicles, tanks, artillery and other heavy weapons have been abandoned."

MacArthur stood up suddenly and shouted: "What, Jonathan, how could this happen? I put a complete army in your hands, and this is how you command it? I can only leave for four or five days, relying on

The solid fortifications actually caused more than 80,000 casualties. My poor Manila defense line. My God, those guys in Washington are so stupid. How can they put the responsibility of commanding an army in the hands of people like you?

I doubt your commanding ability!"

MacArthur's movement was so loud that all the officers heard it, especially the American and Philippine military officers. They all had personal experience of the Battle of Luzon. No one knows the process and the truth of the battle better than them. It is simply not possible.

Dare to believe my ears, I lamented in my heart, "Almighty God, please show up quickly and take away this shameless old guy. How can you confuse right and wrong? If Commander Jonathan did not personally command the troops to stop the Japanese army, if it were not for China

Without human plane cover, we can’t even think of leaving!”

"You abandoned hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fought bloody battles with the Japanese troops and escaped. Do you have the right to accuse Commander Jonathan who narrowly escaped death? You left a complete army, bah! How many good opportunities to counterattack were lost to you?

You refused arrogantly. We are lucky that your bullshit Manila Line did not trap us all in Luzon!"

If eyes were knives, the gazes of all the beauties and Philippine officers present could cut MacArthur into a skeleton. Lieutenant General Jonathan was so angry that his face was white and his lips were blue, his hands and feet were cold, and with trembling hands, he pointed at MacArthur, but said nothing.

Not coming out.

MacArthur was not done yet, and continued: "Jonathan, I am very worried about handing over the American troops to your hands. I will recommend that Washington regain the command of the troops, and also regarding the selection of the supreme commander of the Allied Forces.

, I will also ask the president to reconsider. Looking at the current Australian battlefield, our passive situation has not changed at all. This is a command issue. If I were to command, the battle situation would never be so unbearable!"

MacArthur was probably strongly stimulated and went a little crazy. Perhaps he was dismissed from his post and failed to become the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces. He lost the opportunity to command and dominate, and felt extremely unhappy. Perhaps, MacArthur thought that he was the best person in the world at that time.

The hero, the one with the ability to turn the tide, is none other than himself. It is more likely that Washington's slight punishment made him feel angry!

Anyway, many factors were intertwined. I was not happy, and others couldn't be happy either. I simply showed a rogue face and made nonsense. Not only did I slander Lieutenant General Jonathan, but I also pointed the finger directly at the Allied Southwest Army.

The new supreme commander of the Pacific Theater, Admiral Fernandez, is really disgusting and will not stop dying without shocking people.
