    Most of the ministers who were summoned overnight by Emperor Hirohito to participate in the imperial military meeting were confused. They didn't know that our nervous Majesty took himself out of bed in the middle of the night and stuffed himself into the car coming from the palace without any explanation.  Why did you attend the imperial meeting?

    However, several important ministers made some guesses in their minds. For example, Navy Minister Admiral Nagano Shuzan, Army Minister and Chief of General Staff of the base camp Admiral Koichi Mineuchi, etc., murmured in their hearts, "It is probably related to the Australian war situation. The war situation must have happened."  A huge change, otherwise, His Majesty wouldn¡¯t have summoned him late at night!¡±

    At this time, Emperor Hirohito was extremely excited and energetic, as if he had been vented freely in the body of his concubine. He also giggled a few times from time to time, which made the maids and attendants feel a surge in their hearts.  Array of hair.  &

    The ministers quickly gathered, and more than an hour later, an order from the base camp reached the hands of General Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expedition Force, "According to solid intelligence, the Australian Allied Forces are in the process of retreating."  Prepare, the base camp orders, immediately launch a full-line attack, be sure to annihilate all the Australian allies, and make sure one person escapes. You can determine the specific attack plan and attack time by yourself, and then report it to the base camp!"

    "Hahaha!" General Ito, who was wearing a kimono, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. The laughter was as harsh as an owl. The guards outside felt goosebumps all over their bodies. Then,  I heard General Ito shouting, "Staff on duty. Immediately notify all commanders above the brigade commander. In two hours, go to the headquarters for a meeting! Troops far away from the headquarters. Send a plane to pick them up immediately!"

    On the same night, in Yangon on the Indochina Peninsula, Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, the director of the staff office on duty at the division commander, received a secret message from the intelligence office, "It is urgent. Report to the division commander, 'Jiang Qian stole books' plan. Successfully implemented."  complete!"

    "Jiang Qian stole the book?" Ge Zhenzhuang looked at the secret message in confusion. In the upper left corner of the secret message, there were three red "a" marks.  Ge Zhenzhuang knew that this represented the most confidential and urgent information. He did not attend the meeting that day, which was attended only by Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe.  Regarding this "Jiang Qian Stealing Books" plan.  He knew nothing, but he knew that such information would not be delayed at all.

    Ge Zhenzhuang grabbed the phone and reported to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, "Chief of Staff, this is Ge Zhenzhuang. I just received a secret message from the Intelligence Department. The plan of 'Jiang Qian stealing books' has been successfully implemented!"

    "Okay. I'll rush to the command center immediately! The relevant personnel who know the content of this intelligence should be kept to a minimum!" Zhao Yuhe was on the other end of the phone.  Suddenly all sleepiness disappeared, and he ordered in a serious tone.

    Zhao Yuhe's residence was not far from the master's finger, only more than ten minutes away, but it only took him five or six minutes to arrive. After reading the secret message, he picked up a red telephone and said succinctly  : "I am Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, pick me up immediately!"

    "Ding, ding, ding!" The phone in the bedroom rang suddenly. Tang Qiuli immediately woke up from his sleep. He turned on the bedside lamp, looked at Mei Xue who was awakened next to him, and patted her face affectionately.  , signaling Mei Xue to continue sleeping, then stood up and answered the phone.

    "Commander, the Intelligence Department has received news that the 'Jiang Qian's Book Stealing' plan has been completed!" Zhao Yuhe's voice came over clearly.

    "Okay!" Tang Qiuli couldn't suppress his excitement and said, "Yuhe, tomorrow morning, you will be responsible for informing Robert to go to Yangon port to see the ships we have recruited. I estimate that if the Japanese army wants to take action, it will have to be at the earliest.  Two days later!¡±

    Early in the morning, Lieutenant General Robert had just gotten up when he received a call from Zhao Yuhe, Chief of Staff of the ** Division, informing him to go to the dock in the morning to see some of the ships that had been prepared. Moreover, Tang Qiuli was personally accompanying him, which showed that China  The importance people attached to this matter made Lieutenant General Robert, who had been so anxious that he could not sleep or eat well for several days and was burning inside and outside, immediately became happy and agreed repeatedly.

    Robert is not worried that the Chinese will not fulfill the agreement, but is worried about how many ships have been collected. In his impression, the efficiency of the Chinese is unbearably low, transporting hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers.  The number of ships needed is frightening. Even in the United States, it is impossible to recruit so many ships in a short period of time, but the situation in Australia cannot be delayed.

    Robert did not dare to rush Tang Qiuli, for fear that the Chinese dictator would become a foreigner when he was angry. If he waited for a week, everything would be too late. Now, in about three days, the Chinese will let him see the collected ships.  , the efficiency was unbelievable, and he thought like a self-examination: "It seems that I still have a prejudice against Tang Qiuli and the Chinese. This is not good, and must be changed, otherwise, it will affect future cooperation!"  "

    More than half an hour later, a fewA military jeep parked at the door of the American's residence. After waiting for several Americans, led by Lieutenant General Robert, to get into the jeep, they drove towards the dock like lightning.

    When they arrived at the pier, Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu had been waiting for Robert and his party. When he saw Robert arriving, Tang Qiuli didn't waste any time and handed him the telescope in his hand, and then pointed to the sea in the distance.

    Through the telescope, Robert saw the port. Rows of ships were anchored quietly on the sea. A rough estimate showed that there were at least more than 3,000 ships. "Dear Vice Chairman Tang, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and your  "My subordinates, I sincerely admire you for your high work efficiency. Are these the first batch of ships to be collected? How many ships are there in total?" He asked Tang Qiuli without forgetting the business.

    Zhao Yuhe stood aside and took over the conversation and said: "Lieutenant General Robert, I am specifically responsible for this matter. Let me answer your question. The first batch of transport ships collected is 3,635 ships.  However, it is impossible to transport about 200,000 Allied soldiers. However, as for the equipment, we will continue to collect ships and strive to evacuate all Allied soldiers on the Australian battlefield to the West Indies in three batches.  !¡±

    Having said this, Zhao Yuhe continued with a grimace: "Lieutenant General Robert, you probably don't know that in order to complete the task of evacuating the Australian Allied Forces, we have worked very hard and used all means to remove almost all the suitable places in Indochina Peninsula.  All the ships were collected, which made the people very dissatisfied! The first batch of troop transport fleets will leave for Australia in an hour! "

    Seeing Zhao Yuhe pouring out his bitter words, Tang Qiuli secretly laughed in his heart, "Yuhe, none of these ships are civilians. We have to thank the Japanese for that big gift in Liaodong Bay!"

    Lieutenant General Robert was so moved that he almost shed tears. What is Sino-US friendship? Good comrades-in-arms of the Allied Powers. Is this what it is? Then, he patted his chest and promised that the US government would pay for all the expenses.  And, by the highest standards, the U.S. government is short of troops but not short of money!

    An hour later, the troop transport fleet, escorted by the Navy Division fleet, left Yangon Port in a mighty manner and sailed toward the depths of the sea. Lieutenant General Robert watched with his own eyes as the fleet disappeared at the end of the water and sky.  Then, he ran back to his residence anxiously and immediately sent a telegram to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "The first batch of ships collected by the Chinese, more than 3,650 ships, has left for Australia this morning! Please inform the Australian Alliance of the Joint Chiefs of Staff  Army Headquarters, execute the evacuation plan.¡±

    What Lieutenant General Robert didn¡¯t know was that after the troop transport fleet sailed out of Yangon Port and entered the open sea, it slowed down and counted the time to hurry up. Anyway, the division commander had orders, so don¡¯t rush!

    At this time in the Australian battlefield, the Allied retreat plan had entered the implementation stage. Two days later, late at night on April 30, in accordance with the order of the Allied Command, the first batch of allied troops to retreat consisted of more than 80,000 US troops.  , there were more than 90,000 British troops and more than 40,000 Australian troops, using the cover of night and carrying only light weapons, they quietly left the second line of defense and gathered in ports such as Melbourne and Canberra in the southeast.

    After the British, American and Australian troops withdrew, the defense vacancies left behind were immediately filled by soldiers from the British Commonwealth and Filipino soldiers. These soldiers who came down to block the attack did not know that they had been abandoned. They were just covering these noble races.  Cannon fodder for soldiers running away.

    The commander of the unit who stayed to serve as cannon fodder received the order, "Based on changes in the battlefield situation, some troops must be mobilized to establish a third line of defense behind the second line of defense. Your task is to defend the existing position.  Buy enough time for the deployment of the third line of defense. No retreat is allowed without orders from the headquarters!"

    As a result, the Allied forces' strength on the second line of defense was immediately reduced by about one-third. What they didn't know was that just opposite the position, more than a million Japanese soldiers whose eyes were red with pain were  We have entered the starting point of the attack and are ready for a full-line attack.

    On the Japanese artillery position, countless artillery pieces of various calibers raised their ferocious muzzles in the night, pointing directly to the southeast. The Japanese land-based aviation force, which was rarely dispatched at night, also made an exception.  In preparation for night bombing, the Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield were like hungry wolves with fangs bared, ready to pounce at any time!

    At the headquarters of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, Commander-in-Chief General Ito had an excited expression on his face. He did not pretend to be confident, but was circling back and forth rapidly. Chief of Staff Major General Yamaguchi looked at his watch and whispered: "  Commander-in-Chief, it¡¯s time to attack!¡±

    "Start!" General Ito's eyes suddenly shone fiercely, and he spat out two words full of murderous intent.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Suddenly, the earth-shattering sound of artillery broke the tranquility of the night. Countless artillery shells, trailing dark red tail flames,It almost lit up the night sky, with a piercing scream, piercing the night, and hitting the Allied positions hard.

    The Japanese army on the Australian battlefield began a full-scale offensive against the Allied forces. This war that had been going on for several years finally came to an end, but the beginning was the end.
