The Fourteenth Army endeavors to reach Rangoon prior to the arrival of the monsoon season, successfully arriving in early May. In June, a victory parade and a naval review are conducted to commemorate their achievements. However, plans for a final amphibious operation are once again hindered by insufficient equipment. During this period, Mountbatten encounters the growing wave of nationalism in Southeast Asia, as the Burmese express their desire for the restoration of a civil administration, a request he reluctantly agrees to fulfill.
As U.S. forces in the Pacific make gradual progress, the death of President Roosevelt occurs, leaving Mountbatten with memories of their friendship. The Potsdam Conference subsequently takes place, during which Mountbatten's area of command is expanded, and he is instructed to prepare for the Japanese surrender following the use of the atomic bomb. In a significant political shift, Churchill is ousted from office, much to Mountbatten's dismay, and is succeeded by Attlee, who participates in the conference.
The re-occupation of Singapore, along with the relief of prisoners of war, is postponed until the formal surrender ceremony in Tokyo after the Japanese capitulation. Ultimately, Mountbatten officially accepts the surrender of Singapore on September 12th, marking a pivotal moment in the region's history.
