Chapter 1305 Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight

Jiang Haoran and Nimitz are the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Theater and the other is the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Theater, and the energy of both of them is quite amazing, and it is not difficult for them to understand the dynamics of the adjacent African theater.

Soon, a detailed report reached the hands of the two, the report said: The German-Italian African Corps had transferred most of its troops to support the Soviet battlefield half a month ago, and the remaining troops had also retreated hundreds of kilometers, and the threat of El Alamein had been lifted.

Therefore, Montgomery, commander-in-chief of the African theater of operations, deliberately transferred the East Indies Fleet to the Pacific theater in order to meet the needs of the Allies in case of emergency.

As soon as Nimitz picked up the report, he muttered, this is not a small matter, no matter what, you have to notify the Allied General Headquarters first, send a notice or something in advance, besides, when did Montgomery feel so good, as soon as he heard that the Mi army was in trouble in the Pacific, he immediately sent reinforcements, and without prior notice?

By this time, Jiang Haoran already knew that they were obviously here for Singapore, and it must have been their military deployment at the Indian command yesterday that alerted the British General Alexander and reported it to the British authorities, so they started to act today.

But Jiang Haoran didn't break it, pretending to second Nimitz, he was already secretly happy in his heart, and he was worried that he didn't know how to make it clear to Nimitz, and the British army came.

At this moment, Miss Linda, Chiang Haoran's liaison officer, walked in with a spring breeze and reported to Chiang Haoran that Mr. Robert Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, had arrived in Chittagong and was on his way from the airport to the headquarters.

Nimitz looked at Jiang Haoran confused, and Jiang Haoran continued to pretend to be confused, pretending to be puzzled to guess what the British were going to do, first the aircraft carrier, the army, and Aiden would also come.

Out of politeness, the two still went out to greet them, and as soon as they arrived at the door, Aiden's convoy arrived, after all, it was a British official, and the airport did not dare to slack off, and dispatched more than a dozen cars to form a large convoy.

The guard opened the car door, Aiden got out of a Buick car, Nimitz and Jiang Haoran stepped forward quickly, shook hands and greeted each other, and said some meaningless kind words.

The group then walked into the headquarters and sat down, and Miss Linda made everyone a cup of tea like a cheerful butterfly.

Jiang Haoran smiled and said, "Mr. Aiden suddenly visited, I don't know what happened?" ”

Aiden smiled and said, "General Chiang, you and I haven't dealt with each other once or twice, you have always liked to go straight, so there is no need to detour between us, I know that you are discussing the capture of Singapore, and what I want to tell you is that Singapore is a colony of the British Empire, and you can only ......"

"Hit Singapore?"

"Capture Singapore?"

Jiang Haoran and Nimitz got up at the same time and exclaimed in unison.

"How...... You guys...... It's not ......", Aiden immediately stammered, looking at the two of them a little overwhelmed.

Nimitz spoke quickly, "Mr. Aiden, where did you get this news from?" General Chiang and I are discussing how to save the soldiers of the Mi Army who are trapped in Palembang, who has the leisure to attack Singapore at this time? Oh...... I see, your East Indies fleet is probably here for this, right? ”

Aiden was completely dumbfounded, looking at the two of them speechless, but Jiang Haoran raised his eyebrows, and said uncontrollably: "Yes, Mr. Aiden, General Nimitz is so anxious that his tongue is sores for the sake of more than 10,000 soldiers, but your British Empire is mobilizing a large army to attack Singapore at this time, which is also too ...... That's a little bit of that, right? ”

Jiang Haoran's words immediately worked, and Nimitz immediately glared at Aiden.

"You ......".

Aiden pointed at Jiang Haoran, knowing that he was falling into the well, but he couldn't find anything wrong, and only after a few seconds did he say angrily: "Several group armies of your expeditionary force are advancing towards Pingmanna, and a few elite divisions are mobilized to the port of Mengdu, obviously just to get on the ship and prepare to attack Singapore, what are you pretending to be confused at this time?" ”

Jiang Haoran said with an innocent face: "Oh, Mr. Aiden, you have wronged me, it is true that I transferred troops to defeat Manna, and it is also a fact that several divisions arrived in Mengdu, but all for the purpose of recovering the entire territory of Burma." The army was crushed head-on, the navy landed in Yangon to fight, and the island army in Burma was flanked in front and rear, which should be tactically impeccable. Besides, Myanmar and Singapore are still separated by Siam, and the Malay Peninsula is a narrow stretch of Peninsula, the distance is at least 2,000 kilometers, and the upside-down Burma is simply insignificant to Singapore, I don't know how you can see from my deployment that I am going to fight Singapore, you should not have fallen for someone's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, right? ”

These words are impeccable, not to mention that Aiden, a diplomat, can't find any fault, even Nimitz, the military commander, takes it for granted, they don't know that Jiang Haoran's plan also contains the prelude to the Southeast Asian campaign and the Liangguang campaign, and it seems that the immediate deployment is insignificant to Singapore, but as soon as Burma loses, the island army of Singapore and the Malay Peninsula will become rootless, except for escaping through naval transport, they can only sit and wait for death.

At present, the Mi Army and Jiang Haoran's expeditionary force and the island army are in full swing, and the island army is difficult to take care of the other, it is the best moment to recover Singapore, and the recovery of Singapore is of extraordinary strategic significance to the Allies, so he suggested that the British East India Fleet and Jiang Haoran's troops should take the opportunity to recover Singapore.

Jiang Haoran seemed to have been suddenly "enlightened", and praised Aiden's idea, but at the same time, he did not forget to pin himself cleanly, saying that although he agreed, the final result depended on the meaning of the Allied Supreme Military Command, and if the above agreed to this plan, he could cooperate in the battle.

Nimitz can't make the decision on this matter, so he can only report it to the high-level of the United States and wait for the final result.

Aiden was quickly taken out of the headquarters by Linda, and no one knows how long it would take, it seemed that he still had to stay in Chittagong for a few days, and in addition to business, he really had nothing to talk about with Jiang Haoran and Nimitz, so he said that he needed to rest after a long time and left.

Only Jiang Haoran and Nimitz were left in the room, and Nimitz looked at Jiang Haoran silently but with a strange expression, only Jiang Haoran was a little hairy in his heart.
