Age of Conquest Reborn

The telegram jointly signed by the two commanders of the Australian Allied Forces, Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernades, undoubtedly gave Roosevelt, the top boss in charge of the Allied Powers, a bolt from the blue. It is now late January, if according to the two

A commander said that Australia fell in just over a month!

This makes Roosevelt, who almost spent the whole country to protect Australia to death, feel so embarrassed, and how can he accept this fact? But if you can't accept it, you have to face it. Even if the British are alarmist and Bahlisman, who personally ordered the general, will never

Will pretend to be sensational!

Roosevelt's concern about the situation on the Australian battlefield was not only about whether Australia would fall. As a great leader, his perspective and depth of thinking about the problem were naturally outstanding. The current Australian battlefield contained Japan's largest overseas military force.

Group, what he worried about was that once Australia fell and millions of Japanese troops were freed up, where would the greedy and blood-red eyes of the Japanese look next?

There are two directions, one is the Indochina Peninsula or even mainland China that Tang Qiuli currently occupies, and the other is the United States. This is by no means unfounded.

Judging from the situation in the Southwest Pacific, the cunning and adaptable Chinese Tang Qiuli has obviously seen this step. Otherwise, he would not have deployed more than two million elite troops on the Indochina Peninsula to prepare for the war.

The purpose was to prevent the Japanese, who had won the Australian War, from turning around and heading north.

Judging from the many years of confrontation between the Japanese and Tang Qiuli, they suffered repeated defeats. The troops under Tang Qiuli's command had never tasted victory for the Japanese. They were an opponent that was daunting to the Japanese.

The Japanese chose to go north, and it was unlikely that they would fight Tang Qiuli.

In this way, Roosevelt sadly concluded that the Japanese had only one target left - the United States. The current situation was very unfavorable to the United States. The Japanese naval task force was pressing down on the Pacific Fleet. That commander, Yamamoto Isoroshi,

Six, it is a war machine. A master of tactics that scares all the American naval generals. The Japanese army stationed on the Hawaiian Islands and nearby islands, such as Midway Island, has increased its troops to more than 300,000 in recent years.

Of course, in his heart, Roosevelt dreamed of a fight between the Japanese and Tang Qiuli. In this way, the United States could not only stay out of the matter, sell arms on both sides, and make a lot of dirty money, but also take advantage of a bright side to fight with a potential

The enemy, after fighting to the death, reaped the benefits and made a fortune, and finally took advantage of the threatening opponents to fight each other to the death, and easily picked the peach. Just like the pattern of World War I.

At this time, the world situation that Roosevelt most wanted to see was, but judging from the Sino-Japanese confrontation in the past few years, the Japanese, who had just been beaten to a bloody head by Tang Qiuli, had lost Manchuria, the Korean Peninsula, and

The Far East is unable to be taken back. Obviously, Tang Qiuli is now a behemoth that the Japanese absolutely do not want to mess with. Then, the United States, which has been exhausted by the European war and the Australian war, will fall into the greedy eyes of the Japanese.

Roosevelt had such a dream, but did not dare to immerse himself in the dream. The wish was beautiful, but the reality was cold. After staying up for several sleepless nights, Roosevelt, who was mentally and physically exhausted, considered all the circumstances.

He convened a number of close friends to conduct research and came to the following conclusion: "Once Australia falls, the Japanese army's frontline will inevitably point directly at the United States. Therefore, defending Australia is equivalent to defending the United States!"

So, Roosevelt, whose heart was extremely heavy, found his old partner, the Prime Minister of the British Government in Exile, Churchill. He knew that his old partner was resourceful and full of clever ideas, and he could use any fair or despicable means.

Yes, it is reasonable to discuss it with Churchill. After all, this British man is another giant of the Allied Powers, although he no longer lives up to his name.

As soon as the two people met, they were both old acquaintances and had cooperated many times. There was no need to play around with diplomatic rhetoric and hide it. Roosevelt openly asked the question, "How to ensure that Australia does not fall into the hands of the Japanese?"

inside?"

Although he was making a living on American soil, Churchill was a man unwilling to be lonely. He also knew the world situation and the situation on the Australian battlefield very well. He gave a solution without hesitation, "Mr. President, for now, the only way is to bring the Chinese people together."

To drag Australia into the war, at the very least, the Chinese should bear the corresponding obligations of the Allies, and Tang Qiuli is the key. It is not enough to just provide transportation channels for reinforcements to the Australian battlefield!"

"Mr. President can write a personal letter, imploring Tang Qiuli to send troops to Australia. At the same time, we can also try our best to speed up the reinforcement of the Australian battlefield. The British Empire can also continue to tap the war potential in the West Indies. In this way, three

A coordinated approach can ensure that southeastern Australia does not fall, at least until the Japanese cannot hold on!"

Roosevelt was still frowning and expressed his worries: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, that Chinese Tang Qiuli is cunning, greedy and ambitious. He is very difficult to deal with. He asked the Chinese to send troops to Australia. I am afraid that the price paid will be

America can’t afford it!”

"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?" Churchill encouraged Roosevelt, "If that Chinese Tang Qiuli doesn't want to send troops to Australia, at least, in the name of the Allies, we can ask him to provide the Allies with maximum weapons and equipment.

Convenience, especially in terms of aircraft and heavy weapons, is what the Australian battlefield lacks!"

Churchill's words inspired Roosevelt's confidence, but there was really nothing he could do. If not Tang Qiuli, who else could he ask for help? He immediately took action and wrote a passionate letter to Tang Qiuli with a very low profile.

However, it was not as the leader of the Allied Powers, but as the President of the United States. He knew that the current Allied Powers were nothing to do with Tang Qiuli!

Roosevelt ordered his confidential secretary to arrange for a special envoy to deliver his handwritten letter to Tang Qiuli as soon as possible. Churchill was relieved to see that the lame man listened to his advice.

From the bottom of his heart, Churchill, the veteran colonialist, had no good impressions of Tang Qiuli, and even hated him. The Americans had not suffered any obvious losses at the hands of Tang Qiuli, but the British Empire was different.

During the Indo-Myanmar border war, the British Empire lost more than two-thirds of its colonies in the Indian continent, along the 83rd parallel, and the British Empire became the laughing stock of the world.

Why were the British and Americans fighting the Japanese on the Australian mainland, while the Chinese took a stand-by attitude and dragged Tang Qiuli into the Australian war? Churchill's goal was achieved. Although it is difficult, but don't try to know this

result?

Seeing that Roosevelt had finished writing the letter, Churchill knew it and wanted to leave. It seemed that he had no need to stay here anymore, so Roosevelt persuaded him to stay.

Roosevelt's sallow face showed deeper worries as he said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we have been thinking about how to deal with the Japanese, and we seem to have forgotten the Germans. Now the Germans have completely occupied the European continent. The Soviet Union has collapsed, and Stalin has

Hitler, who fled to Western Siberia to survive and take the European continent into his possession, do you think that with his ambition, he will always stay in Europe?"

Churchill was stunned and immediately understood what Roosevelt meant. Remembering the ferocity of the Germans and destroying the British Empire, he couldn't help but trembled and said in confusion: "Mr. President, do you think that this complete German lunatic will have someone else?"

Thoughts?”

"Alas!" Roosevelt sighed heavily and said, "It will definitely happen. Sitting on the relatively large resources of the European continent, Hitler, the war madman, will definitely not be willing to be lonely. However, we don't know where his eyes will be.

That’s it!”

While Roosevelt and Churchill were panic-stricken and speculating about where Hitler, who had swept across the European continent, would lead next, the battle on the Australian battlefield had already reached a fevered pitch of bloodshed.

General Fernades, the deputy commander of the Australian Allied Forces, spent three days reorganizing the Allied forces that had retreated from the front line. Then, together with the commander, Lieutenant General Bachlisman, he moved Philander

On the second pass south of the Si Mountains and the Balil Mountains, the defensive force deployment was adjusted. Before they could take a breath, the troops were divided into six groups. More than one million Japanese soldiers with fierce momentum and murderous intent came like a violent wave!

The second line of defense of the Australian Allied Forces is built on several rivers. There is no shortage of rain in southeastern Australia. Several large rivers are hundreds or even hundreds of meters wide, with rough waves and fast currents. All bridges have been bombed.

Along the way, the Japanese army's "Type 97 modified tank," which was invincible, faced the river and lost its assault role.

However, this did not trouble the commander-in-chief of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, General Ito Genzaburo. At several selected breakthrough points, he ordered all artillery units to form artillery groups and line up on the north bank of the river, aiming at the Allied forces on the south bank.

The Allied positions on the south bank were hit by a ferocious artillery bombardment that shook the ground and filled the sky with gunpowder smoke. Suddenly, flames shot into the sky on the Allied positions on the south bank, columns of smoke rose into the sky, and dirt and gravel flew across.

Bullying the Australian Allied Forces for not having combat aircraft, General Ito also called in fighter jets and bombers from the United Air Force to help out. On the ground, there were thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers, constantly spitting out shells. In the sky, there were nearly a thousand

The Japanese bombers and fighter jets continued to drop heavy bombs one after another, spraying strings of bullets, and the Allied positions seemed to be boiling.

Under the cover of fierce ground and air firepower, Japanese engineers began to build bridges on various rivers. General Ito stood on a high ground on the north bank of the river in high spirits, looking at the power of the sophisticated equipment of the Imperial Japanese Army.

, full of confidence, said to the chief of staff, Major General Kawaguchi: "Two days, only two days, the Imperial Army troops will break through the Allied forces' second line of defense!"
