He is a confidant, the most trusted confidant of His Excellency the President.
He couldn't accept that his position would be given up to others just because of Stilwell's arrival.
So he needs to figure this out.
Situ was drinking tea and chatting with Wilder.
The two of them have changed their previous living habits, such as Western food and coffee. People in the mountain city rarely eat these, and what they are talking about now is also from the mountain city, so the two of them are based on
The custom here in the mountain city is changing.
"Why are you here?" Looking at Arthur coming in, Situ didn't understand why this person was here.
Since the army arrived in Kalka County, the contact between himself and Arthur has been significantly reduced.
After all, he is in charge of the military and he is responsible for government affairs. Although there is no place worthy of his jurisdiction now, he still holds the title.
"I see you are living a good life." My head is almost pounding, but I am still in the mood to drink tea.
These are all human beings, why are they so different from each other?
He couldn't understand very much.
"It's not bad, at least we won't let the Japanese troops chase us." Situ took a sip of tea and motioned for him to sit down and asked in confusion, "Something's wrong."
Arthur sat down and nodded; "Yes, Stilwell left with Smith. I really don't understand why he left at this time. Do you think this could be a task given to him by the President?"
.”
What's the mission then?
It was just Stilwell who chilled the President and followed Smith and the others to breakfast.
"I'm afraid you don't know, but His Excellency the President issued a fatwa to kill him." Situ glanced at Arthur and smiled.
What?
Arthur really didn't know about this. After all, he didn't get such news.
"How is it possible? He was promoted by the President. How could the President issue an order to kill him?
This is something that shouldn't be done.
Nothing should be done.
Situ chuckled and crossed his arms; "You don't know who is responsible for the civil strife in our empire, right now?"
Arthur narrowed his eyes and hummed; "It's not that some people are dissatisfied with the way the President handled the situation."
Isn't that the reason?
How could this be the reason?
Situ sighed; "If you want to object, you have already objected. Why wait until this time?"
This person is really stupid.
With such a person, it is no wonder that His Excellency the President is very at ease with him. He is at ease with everyone. Apart from his military talents, he is completely blank in other areas.
What's the name here? Yes, it's called a reckless man.
Although the reckless men are unreasonable, they are indeed the favorites of the higher-ups, because they are the best killers. If there is anything, let these people do it.
"Stupid." At the same time, the Prime Minister's Office in Kyoto.
For the first time, Tojo raised dissatisfaction with His Majesty.
Your Majesty actually allowed the navy to handle the return of the Yamashiro fleet at its discretion.
What is discretionary processing?
Who can tell him how to interpret these words, whether to abort them, or what to do.
Judging from the reckless character of Yamamoto Isoroku, he will definitely destroy this returning fleet.
Damn you bastard, why is Your Majesty so confused? Isn't he really worried about Shancheng's counterattack?
The empire is no longer the empire it once was, and the mountain city is no longer the mountain city it once was, and they are no longer so easy to control. Why doesn't your majesty understand this?
What on earth do they want to do?
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what should we do now?"
General Terauchi, who was in charge of the northern attack, received a message. While the large forces advanced rapidly, they also faced difficulties. The enemies they defeated began to harass transportation lines and even railways. They were also within the scope of their attack. He was not allowed to mobilize three divisions.
The regiment's troops not only protected the perimeter of the railway line, but also pursued the enemies who entered the woods.
The Northern Corps, which did not have sufficient numbers to begin with, is now facing depletion of troops and needs to mobilize troops for support.
At this time, the only way to mobilize troops is from the mountain city.
However, His Majesty's discretionary decision does not mean that he is going to take action.
"No, I have to go see His Majesty." Tojo became more and more frightened as he thought about it.
He knew very well that once intercepted, the consequences would be disastrous.
He hurriedly entered the palace, but His Majesty didn't see him. Instead, he saw the minister of bodyguard.
"You've been waiting for me, right?" Tojo glanced at him and asked.
The minister of bodyguard nodded and said, "Your Majesty knows that you are coming, so he asked me to wait for you here and tell you something."
"Tell me." Tojo said depressedly, knowing that he would not see anyone today.
"There will always be a battle between the navy and Shancheng. In order to take care of the mood of the navy, His Majesty has to do this."
The navy is in a mood. Doesn’t the army have any mood? Don’t forget who started the war when the current empire has achieved such great success.
"Okay, then I ask you to tell His Majesty that if that fleet is destroyed, our empire's advantage will completely collapse. Therefore, I have decided to resign."
Are you kidding me? Am I crazy? I am still looking for death in this position.
At the moment when the fleet was destroyed, that is when Shancheng fought back, they are now very strong. If you really fight, they will stab you from all directions, and then the north and south will launch corresponding counterattacks.
The empire's military strength allows Shancheng to drag more than a million of his men, and now he is afraid that he will drag more. He really can't find more troops to fill these gaps, since it can't be filled.
Then don't worry about it. Whoever takes over this position next will be unlucky anyway. He has led the empire to a height that no one can see. As for who falls next, it has nothing to do with him. He wants to
Run quickly.
Your Majesty feels sorry for the navy, so let him feel sorry for you. That's your attitude anyway. You really want to favor the navy this time, thinking that the navy is what really makes this empire strong.
Then he had nothing to say.
The minister of bodyguards frowned. He knew Tojo's character very well.
This person is very proud and arrogant. At the same time, he also values power very much. He can be so determined to resign. This made Tojo stop him in a panic and turned around to leave. He asked tentatively: "Really?"
Is it so serious?"
Your Majesty, I just want to sympathize with the navy. After all, the navy's several operations some time ago resulted in heavy losses.
Tojo looked at the minister of bodyguards for a while, and then said, "Have you never been to the mountain city?"
