Age of Conquest Reborn

The General Headquarters of the Imperial Australian Front sent a message to all officers and men, "His Majesty the Emperor and the Headquarters have fully considered the situation on the Australian battlefield and have a better understanding of the situation of all officers and men of the Front. His Majesty the Emperor has given his royal approval and has strictly ordered the Headquarters to immediately implement the sea route for the Australian Front."

supplies, and plans to withdraw troops from Australia."

"A few days ago, the base camp has dispatched a fleet of troop carriers escorted by the Navy's joint fleet, loaded with military supplies, sailing from the mainland to Australia. It will arrive in two weeks. By then, not only the currently scarce food, ammunition, but also military supplies will be fully replenished.

, the front army headquarters will also have a plan to evacuate the troops in batches. In the end, all officers and soldiers of the Australian front army will return to the homeland safely!"

"But I, Genzaburo Ito, as the Commander of the Imperial Australian Front, warn all the warriors of the Empire of Japan that although we are facing the siege of the China Independent Division, we should not lose our courage to fight for His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan.

Spirit and will, let alone fear and worry about the current war situation!"

"The Chinese are cruel, but also despicable. They will not treat you as prisoners of war, but will massacre you all. Warriors of the empire, hold on to the weapons in your hands. For your own lives and to be able to return to your homeland,

Reunite with your loved ones, endure and overcome all the difficulties at hand, and fight bravely! I, Yanzaburo Ito, also solemnly promise that I will lead you home!"

Regarding the cause and consequences of this report to all officers of the Australian Front, General Ito Genzaburo, Chief of Staff Akutagawa, and a group of senior staff made the decision after painfully analyzing the current situation on the Australian battlefield.

As the encirclement of the independent division troops gradually tightened, the Australian front army's battlefield survival space became smaller and smaller. Coupled with the independent division aviation fleet, bombing and air raids were carried out day and night. The soldiers were panicked, especially the consumption of food.

, not only the officers at all levels were panicked, but the soldiers also saw the actual situation from the food they ate every day, so that their morale gradually became unstable and their morale became low.

General Ito and officers at all levels were very worried that if things continued like this, there might be a mutiny in the Australian Front Army. Without the China Independent Division to attack, the morale of the army would be so chaotic that it would collapse without a fight. That's why this letter to all officers and soldiers was issued.

General Ito's intention was to stabilize the morale of the military and wait until the local troop carrier formation arrived. Obviously, his goal was achieved. After the message to all officers was released, it really played a role in stabilizing the morale of the military and boosting morale. It also improved the minds of Japanese soldiers.

It's very simple. Believe in His Majesty the Emperor and believe in the commander.

Therefore, the soldiers no longer have so much resentment about the food that is being reduced every day, and they are no longer so afraid of the independent division aircraft that drop bombs and strafe overhead all day long. His Majesty the Emperor and Commander Ito drew a picture for them.

Big cake.

After more than a week like this, the military morale was stable, which made General Ito feel relieved. However, after waking up this morning, Chief of Staff Akutagawa sent an urgent telegram from the base camp to him. The contents of the telegram shocked him like a bolt from the blue.

, the vision turns black.

The newly formed naval combined fleet was ambushed by the China Independent Division fleet in the waters of the Solomon Islands. All were shattered. The troop carrier formations that followed were filled with food and military supplies and became the enemy's trophies. The Australian Front finally

His hopes were completely shattered, and he was truly alone.

It took a long time for General Ito to react numbly. He looked at Chief of Staff Akutagawa, whose face was also ashen, and said in a hoarse voice: "Akutagawa-kun, send a telegram to the base camp. Where will the Australian Front Army go?"

It was not until noon that the base camp responded to the telegram, giving two options. One was to continue to stand still and wait for reinforcements, and the other was to immediately organize the troops to break out in separate routes. How to decide specifically, the base camp would not interfere, and would wait until General Ito decided, and the base camp camera would

provide assistance.

General Ito tore the telegram into pieces. Neither of the two roads given by the base camp was a way to survive. Holding on to it would mean waiting to die. Logistics and supplies would be cut off. More than a million imperial soldiers could starve to death just from hunger.

How can we hold on and wait for reinforcements if we have nothing to eat or drink? Even if we draw together all the troops in the country, how many troops are available? Are there any reinforcements that can be sent to the base camp?

It seems better to break out by splitting routes than to stand still and wait for reinforcements, but the actual situation is not like this. Although the current Australian Army has more than one million troops, it is also facing the dilemma of lack of supplies. Many troops do not have enough ammunition to fight a battle.

For small-scale battles, using Australia's vast area to support the war with war is a promising method, but will the surrounding independent division troops, which are eyeing covetously, give such a chance?

The answer is obviously no. General Ito absolutely believes that as long as he orders the troops to break out in separate routes, the final result will be that the 170,000-800,000 troops of the China Independent Division will be eaten one by one. That China devil Tang Qiuli

, maybe you are opening your pockets at this moment, waiting for you to give the order to break out of the encirclement by separate routes?

Standing still and waiting for help is waiting for death, breaking out in separate ways is courting death, and death is everywhere on the left and right. General Ito was desperate and walked back and forth in the room like a trapped animal. Chief of Staff Akutagawa looked at the commander with worry.

A few hours later, it seemed like several years had passed, General Ito finally made a decision. He would stand firm and wait for help. "Akutagawa-kun, the scope of knowledge of this telegram from the base camp is limited to you and me. Please send it to me immediately."

The telegraph operators and translators who receive telegrams in the confidential room must be disposed of secretly!"

"In addition, dispatch troops to drive away all local residents in the area where the imperial army is entrenched in order to save food. Anyone who dares to disobey orders should be shot on the spot. You can start doing this immediately. Also, you can send out

Part of the search force mixed with the local residents, escaped from the encirclement, and lurked in the surrounding areas, serving as a surprise force, waiting for orders from the headquarters!"

"Akutagawa-kun, maybe the ones who can save us in the end will be these soldiers who have escaped. As long as we hold on for a few months, the base camp will definitely find ways to rescue us. The empire cannot afford to lose, they must rescue us!"

After saying so many words in one breath, General Ito gasped violently. It seemed that all his strength had been exhausted, and his face became paler. He understood that he could never choose to break out in separate ways, and could only grit his teeth and endure for a few months.

, will wait for the transfer.

General Ito's inference was not bad. The base camp and even the Empire of Japan could not afford to lose the Australian front army. Even if they tried every means, they would spare no effort to carry out rescue. This was after learning that the combined fleet was completely annihilated in the waters of the Solomon Islands.

After more than a thousand ships, a huge amount of military supplies and food became the spoils of war for the independent division, Emperor Hirohito and the big bosses in the base camp painfully needed to make an immediate decision.

General Ito called back and asked to stand still and wait for help. Emperor Hirohito and a group of civil and military ministers gathered together to study this topic for several hours, but they did not come up with a feasible solution. The troop transport ship could be solved.

The empire has always been a maritime power. It is not particularly difficult to recruit more than a thousand ships. Food and military supplies are not impossible to come up with. The people in the country can only tighten their belts.

The biggest problem, which is also an unsolvable problem, is the problem of the escort fleet. The current Imperial Japanese Navy cannot even produce more than twenty main battleships. As for the aircraft carrier, there is not even one, and there is no powerful fleet escort.

, how much food, ammunition and military supplies were all free gifts to that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, and he still couldn't say thank you!

The imperial meeting to resolve the life-and-death crisis for the Australian troops was held from night to early morning, but nothing could be done. Finally, Emperor Hirohito, who was so pale that there was no trace of blood in his face, said a few words, "Don't limit your thinking to the homeland. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War

, can you consider asking for help from the Italians and Germans, especially the Italians, with whom the empire has good trade relations!"

"What's more, the Germans and Italians, who are both members of the Axis Powers, will not fail to lend a helping hand. We should not have too much hope for the German head of state Hitler. The key point is to persuade Italian Prime Minister Mussolini to ask him to send

The fleet comes to the Pacific waters to escort the imperial troop transport fleet. Once the Italians participate in the Australian War, that China devil Tang Qiuli will have one more enemy!"

"The condition given to Mussolini is that the empire completely abandons the existing occupied areas in North America and transfers them to Italy unconditionally. In addition, it is said that Mussolini is very interested in Eastern culture. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent personnel to

Come to my inner palace and select a batch of cultural relics and antique jades as gifts from me to Mussolini!"

Emperor Hirohito stood up and left, leaving behind a large group of civil and military officials with staggering steps and heavy and thin backs. All the officials felt sad. The Japanese Empire has now reached this point, and His Majesty the Emperor needs to show his strength.

, to please others.

But this was the only feasible way. After the meeting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War began to take action, forming two delegations and rushing to Germany and Italy respectively to lobby. At the same time, General Mitsuichi Mineuchi, Chief of General Staff of the base camp, sent His Majesty the Emperor

The decision was reported to Genzaburo Ito who was trapped in Australia by means of a secret telegram.

General Ito was neither sad nor happy about this, nor was he grateful that His Majesty the Emperor had done this. In his opinion, all the measures taken by the base camp were like treating a dead horse as a living horse. The only thing he could do was to bite the bullet.

The tooth is broken.

After dawn, in the encirclement on the east coast of Australia, the aircraft of the Independent Division appeared above the Japanese soldiers as usual. After a shrill siren, the Japanese soldiers, who were already quite experienced in air defense, immediately got into the air raid shelters and concealed areas, their ears pricked.

Get up, listen quietly to the huge explosions, and prepare to bear the baptism of bombs and bullets again.

However, this time it was very unexpected. Until the plane of the Independent Division left, the roar disappeared in the distance, and no explosion was heard. The Japanese soldiers crawled out of the air raid shelters and bunkers. They were all stunned. The streets and alleys were filled with leaflets.
