The sea breeze blew past the boat, carrying the fishy smell unique to the sea, making people's mind immediately awake. Lying on the boat's side, the scene just now sounded. At this time, looking back at the port from here, it seemed that you could still vaguely see the obvious envy on the faces of the crowd who were saying goodbye to the port.

The aura of war approaches the Philippines, and everyone is equally anxious.

And as a federal officer, he was walking on a sea boat at this time, obviously he wanted to be a deserter.) Column? MacArthur thought.

From the Far East to Mexico to the Philippines, this is his fourteenth year of serving in the military. During these fourteen years, MacArthur can be said to have experienced many hard work and worked diligently. He completely lives as the American army as his home, but never thought that in the end, he would have to be a deserter?

Deserter! It is undoubtedly a shame for him to come from a military family and his father is a family of three-star lieutenant generals with a high status in American society!

Since he learned of this decision, he has reported it to his superiors countless times, and even crossed his superiors and directly wrote to the US Department of Defense to appeal, but it has not changed his superiors' decision. This time, American soldiers evacuated the Philippines on a large scale and completely gave up this colony that had been operating for decades.

As a colonel of the US Army, it is said that it is very likely that he will be promoted to a brigade general this year. With a prosperous official career, he must leave, and he will be with his army.

The withdrawal of troops from the Philippines was submitted by the Department of Defense at the beginning of this year and reviewed and approved by the US Congress. The meeting decided that from the end of April to the beginning of June, the United States' forces in all aspects of the Philippines will retreat from the Philippines in a large-scale manner, before the withdrawal. The Americans also did a very beautiful thing: return freedom to the people of the Philippines and allow the Philippines to be autonomous.

But he also knew that the decision of the Ministry of National Defense was completely forced.

Because, today, the pressure on the Americans by the Imperial Navy is too great.

During this period when the United States has decided to participate in the war and has tilted its strength towards the Atlantic Ocean, the US Navy is completely unable to maintain the existence of the lonely island of the Philippines within the siege of the Chinese Federation in Asia.

The Chinese Empire's Pacific Fleet, East China Sea Fleet, and South China Sea Fleet, these three fleets that mainly face the Pacific and Oceania directions began to expand last year, and their scale expanded at an astonishing speed. In just over a year, the number of warships expanded to twice the original one. The number of battleships and heavy cruisers alone had more than 30 ships, with a total tonnage of more than 800,000 tons. What a terrifying number. Under their threat, the Philippines was like meat on a chopping board, and was always at slaughter.

Since the World War has been fought, it can be said that among all the countries that have participated in the war, the military power of the Chinese Empire is undoubtedly the fastest expansion speed.

The army expanded from ten armies and 300,000 troops when the founding of the People's Republic of China to five mechanized armies and 36 field armies, with a total force of more than 2 million. The air force and navy have expanded several times or even dozens of times. In line with this, the Chinese Empire. The rapidly expanding military industry, steel, petrochemical, automobiles, engines, aerospace and other industries have shown explosive growth, and the country's strength has expanded like a blow.

Such a country is always eyeing the Philippines, and now the relationship between the United States and China has become so subtle that no one can tell when a war will occur between China and the United States. Under such pressure, the Philippines has become a huge burden on Americans' strategic defense, making the entire United States' Eastern strategy seem at a loss.

Since it cannot be maintained, it is better to give up. In this way, you can get rid of this burden and put the navy's strategic defense target on the Pacific island defense line. In this way, the pressure will be much less. The typical businessman-ruling style of the US federal government will be revealed at this time.

MacArthur had to retreat together. Even though he was the future star in the US military, at this time, he was just a small character and had no ability to control the overall situation.

But even so, he did not give up completely. He brought together the indigenous Filipino soldiers and officers trained by his subordinates and arranged them to the newly established indigenous government of the Philippines. As part of the new Philippine Defense Force, he believed that if the Chinese really came, these subordinates would suffer the Chinese.

And I, MacArthur, will definitely come back!

At the sea, when I watched the ports farther away, so far away that I could not see them, MacArthur said to himself with confidence.

...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" In the early summer, Guo Jia trotted over in the long pavilion by the lake and found Li Zhe.

"The news I just got was that the United States has begun to withdraw its troops."

Li Zhe heard the sound of footsteps behind him approaching, but he didn't even think about turning his head.

"Oh! I didn't expect that these Americans still have a keen sense of smell? We just started preparing here, and they had already started running away!"

"Haha! Isn't this the empire's blitzkrieg of martial arts? It shocked them all? Once we acted here, the other party would be in a panic and flee at the sensation of the wind!"

Both of them were smiling, very relaxed.

The empire has decided to start a war against the United States! Now, it is in the preparation stage, but this early movement cannot be hidden from the other party.

There are too many exchanges between the Empire and the United States, and they are very powerful infiltration! There are many Chinese immigrants in the United States, and there are also many white-skinned European and American immigrants in China. This is destined that both sides have actions against each other, which is difficult to hide. What's more, this time, the Empire used so many troops and consumed so much materials that Americans could not get news, which is a strange thing!

Guo Jia smiled and continued:

"According to the information just received, the US withdrawal forces in the Philippines, the first 30,000 troops, have begun to board the ship. This group of people will pass through Guam, Hawaii, and return to the west coast of the United States. The subsequent batches are also consistent. However, the US withdrawal plan we have obtained has one of the trends worth our attention. The goal of the US 28th Infantry Division and the 19th Infantry Division is to withdraw to Australia!"

"Oh?" Li Zhe was a little surprised when he heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Does the Americans already know our plan for march? He actually retreated his troops to Australia so early? Is this obviously doing Australia's defense?" As for who is the specific target of defense? Of course, I don't ask.

"No, this is not enough! The empire's specific march plan is still only circulated in the top leaders of our Expeditionary Forces, and it is absolutely impossible for the Americans to explore it. The only possibility is that the US General Staff has formulated a long-term combat plan with us and has begun to implement it step by step!"

"Oh! That's what you mean!" Li Zhe nodded and pondered, "That means that the Americans have decided to focus their main energy on the Atlantic Ocean direction, and choose to retreat temporarily. Whenever they can, they will drag it down, and focus their main energy on the strategic defense of the Pacific Ocean, which is the natural barrier. Australia is preparing to start preparations as soon as possible, and strive to make a good defense when we turn our attention to them?"

"Well, that's the case. The US military system is not good at responding to changes and does not fight for a long time. The US military system is backward and has a tough tactics. Although the military's combat scale and equipment will quickly keep up after expansion and industrial transformation, the combat experience of the officers and soldiers in the army is very scarce and their combat effectiveness is low. I'm afraid there is no desire to fight alone with us!

In the direction of Asia and the Pacific, we will be avoiding us for the time being. It is definitely the wishful thinking of the US Department of Defense. Of course, this is probably inseparable from the lobbying of the countries of the Allies in the US Congress and the upper class.

In this case, the enemy must have established a long-term defense plan. The vast Pacific Ocean is enough to serve as a barrier. However, in Australia, we jumped along the South Pacific islands and could easily threaten that the American soldiers are now counterfeit and shoddy products in the Allied countries, but the only benefit is that they are naturally moving wherever they need to be. Assisting in defense of Australia must be the result of all negotiations between the Americans and the British!"

Li Zhe waved his hand,

"It doesn't matter. No matter how the Allies set up, they can't resist the attack of the empire! In short, this time we are lions fighting against rabbits, using a huge force! We will never give Americans a breathing time. Humph! They want to train a group of mature soldiers and tactics on the European battlefield, and then deal with us in reverse, don't think so!"

Guo Jia also said:

"Yes, in this way, our rapid war with the United States will also make the Germans relieved. In a short period of time, the pressure on West Asia and the Caucasus will not be that great."

Li Zhe nodded. It is indeed the case, and this is also very important.

Not only did Germany think so, but it was not only that.

...

The bow of the ship splits the sea like a sharp sword, and hundreds of thousands of tons of steel giant beasts, like dozens of moving giant mountains, exerting their power on the sea!

Battleships, go on the battle!

Colonel Yamamoto Isix, as the commander of the latest high-speed battleship of the Kingdom of Japan, was excited to issue orders in the commander tower and drive the giant ship forward. This time, the Kingdom of Japan was following the most invincible military god in the world, the empire's god of war, His Highness Zhou Yu, to conquer Western ghost animals!
