Come home, Master of Borneo

"So, someone noticed you and your troops, which gives you an opportunity!"

Me and my troops!

George's eyebrows were slightly raised, as if he understood something. The room was warm, the chairs were very comfortable, and it was pleasant to chat with old friends. With a smile on his face, George was thinking about the price of going home!

"It seems that if I go home, I have to pay a price."

"You are so right, my friend."

Truman said seriously,

"You know, before this, I told you that only by becoming a participant at the gambling table can you enjoy the fruits. Of course, as a participant, you must pay a certain price. The world has always been so fair. But in any case, it is worth it."

When saying the word "worth it", Truman waved his hand to emphasize his tone.

"Now you have a chance to participate in it." Truman continued, "This opportunity is created by you for yourself. I just tell you the opportunity. It's up to you to decide whether to seize this opportunity. What's more, I can tell you that if you refuse, I will still do my best to help you go home in the future!" How true is Truman's promise? George didn't know, but he knew that Truman asked him to come here to tell him that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "Harry, tell me, what is the opportunity?" "Australia!" Truman looked at George and said. "Now, we have won a comprehensive advantage in the Pacific. MacArthur has landed on Luzon Island. The defeat of the Japanese army in the Philippines is only a matter of time. In order to completely defeat the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, Mac has formulated a combat plan. This combat plan is to recover the Dutch East Indies, the southern Philippines and the northern part of British Borneo, and eliminate the local Japanese troops, and finally use the coastal strongholds of Borneo as a springboard to enter the Indochina Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula." What does this have to do with me? George couldn't help but feel confused.

"But because the main force of the US military will be deployed in Japan, the implementation of this plan needs to be carried out by the Australian Imperial Army. You know, in this war, Australia is our most important ally in the Pacific. They have been cooperating with the US military in the war, from the Guinea Islands to Guadalcanal, but what? The Australians are not very interested in this plan, because the Australians joined this war to follow Britain, and they have no interest in helping the Dutch!"

As expected, Australia is always the most loyal lackey of Britain!

"So, after Mike proposed this battle plan, it was opposed by the top leaders of the Imperial Army and the Australian political circles. They believed that the implementation of this plan was meaningless and was a waste of soldiers' lives. Now the most important thing is to attack the Japanese mainland. As long as the Japanese are defeated on the mainland, Southeast Asia will be defeated without a fight."

The Australians are right!

"But Mike doesn't think so. Of course, the president also believes that we should liberate Southeast Asia and eliminate the local Japanese. However, this is not important. The important thing is..."

Truman's mouth corners rose and a smile appeared on his face.

"The important thing is that your chance has come, because your Borneo Guard Force's outstanding performance in Bastogne has made the Australians want to take advantage of you. Some generals in the Imperial Army's General Staff believe that since it is the liberation of Borneo, it should be carried out by the Borneo troops, not the Imperial Army, so they made this suggestion to Mike."

"I see!"

"That's it!"

Truman smiled and repeated George's words. He smiled, stood up, walked to the window, looked out of the window, and said.

"George, this is your chance. Seize this opportunity and you can go home! The real way to go home is not to rely on the power of others, but to rely on your own power!"

Turning his head, Truman stared at George and said.

"In this way, after the war, no matter what changes happen, no matter whether someone will promote the independence of the colonies, you have enough reasons to stand on that land, because you are the liberator of that land, not the colonizer!"

"This name does require a price."

George, sitting on the sofa, said, his cup was empty at this time.

"But... like you said, it's worth it. After all, sometimes justice is really important!"
