General Richard's first military meeting was held as scheduled, and the heads of major U.S. troops also arrived in the conference room. For them, they were not very convinced. They all followed General MacArthur on the battlefield for many years. Although they did not win, they were also familiar with the battlefield. But is this commander familiar with the battlefield? Although this guy fought in Mexico, it was purely a bandit suppression, which was completely different from the front battlefield here. Moreover, the army there was short of guns and cannons, and the large number of Mexicans, the combat effectiveness of the army was not strong at all, and there was no way to compare with this one.

"You will report your own situation to me. Let me see how you should fight recently. Please pay attention to everyone's attitude. I know that when General MacArthur returns, everyone feels uncomfortable, but I would like to ask everyone to pay attention that we are loyal to the United States of America, not a single person. We are the army of the United States of America, not everyone's army." The guy stood up and said, and he also saw that these people were not very welcome to him, but the superior asked him to come here to serve, so he had to be here honestly. Should he let himself disobey the military order?

"God General, although you are the commander now, I think the situation of our departments has been submitted to you a long time ago. Do we still need to report it now? Those documents are written in detail, including the number of our troops and the current situation. If you can't even understand that, how can you lead us to attack the Chinese? Now the Chinese are at their peak in the entire Southeast Asia. I wonder if your General has any other strategies. We also want to hear what we should do next?" A guy sitting behind stood up and said.

Judging from his military rank, he should be the commander of an infantry division. But isn’t it a bit too much to talk to the commander like this? But looking at the expression on his face, it’s obvious that this guy doesn’t think he’s too much.

He came up and hit a hard nail, which made Richard feel very unhappy. Such a guy doesn't take him seriously at all. There will be many such people in the future. Today is the first meeting, and he must kill this guy's arrogance, otherwise he won't know what will happen in the future.

"Then start reporting from you and report to me in detail the number of troops under your command and the location of the station. If you didn't report like this before, then you should report to me in this place from now on. If anyone doesn't want to, please hand over the power in your hands. The military police are at the gate. You can take a transport plane back home. As for how you deal with you when you go back, it depends on the military court." Richard clenched his fists. He knew that he must not be soft at this time. These soldiers are tough and must be tougher than them. This is the law of survival in the army. Otherwise, he could only do it in this position. None of these people are soft roles.

Just when the commander of the infantry division was about to get angry, several combat staff rushed in next to him. It seemed that something important happened on the front line, otherwise they would not have come to the war room.

"Report to the commander, it's a big deal. The Japanese army landed in the Sulu Islands, which is a transit station between us and Malaysia. We have about 4,000 soldiers there. According to the information we received, the number of Japanese soldiers exceeds 15,000, and with the support of the Japanese Joint Fleet, if we don't have support, the Sulu Islands will probably fall into their hands. Once they get the Sulu Islands, our Philippines will definitely be threatened, and there will be no strategic depth in the future." I was thinking about establishing my authority, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. For Americans today, the Sulu Islands are definitely very important. If the Sulu Islands are lost, the Americans will definitely not have a good life in the future.

Richard looked at all the officers present in horror. These people closed their eyes helplessly and met a helpless commander. Now they should arrange the army to support them. When you stand here, I don’t know how many brothers have fallen to the ground. The Japanese devils’ combat power is very strong. Since accepting the adaptation of China, the firepower of the Japanese army has also increased a lot. Although it is still much worse than the Americans, it has increased more than doubled compared to them before. When fighting with the Americans, they can also fight with the Americans in a evenly matched situation, especially with the support of the joint fleet naval guns, the US Army may not be their opponents, especially now that the military strength comparison has reached more than 1:3, and there is basically no hope in the Sulu Islands.

"What do you have any opinions? By the way, General MacArthur hasn't boarded the plane yet, please invite General MacArthur to come here immediately." This guy actually came up with such an idea. Although this guy is incompetent enough, I have to say that the current idea is still very correct. Although General MacArthur has many opponents, he is at least stronger than the guy in front of him, and he also knows the local area very well.

Soon someone ran out to find General MacArthur. Everyone looked disgusted with Lieutenant General Richard. He didn't do his homework before coming. Now he ran to the front of the map and went to find the Sulu Islands bit by bit with a magnifying glass. I really don't know who this guy learned geography from when he was in middle school. He couldn't even find the Philippines. Such a person can be the commander of the Southeast Asian War Zone, and the US military is really excited.

According to General MacArthur's original idea, he would never interfere, so he just let them mess around here. You have to bear the consequences of the end, but this general also understands that if the situation continues to fail, the superiors may be angry with him. After all, he is the former commander here, so if there is anything to help, it is better to help quickly.

General MacArthur was not a fool and knew the situation here well. He immediately prepared to let the Navy assist some of the army in the past to support. Although the number of people in the Sulu Islands was relatively small, the Japanese army was not very clear about the terrain here. Therefore, if the US military provided proper support, it could persist in this area for a period of time.
