It's a pity that such an excellent general has to be made a scapegoat because of the Prime Minister's mistakes.
"Stop making a fuss. There's no point in really falling out with him. He's not doing anything to you now just because he can't find a suitable person to take your place. However, this doesn't mean that this is not the case.
You can't, I think you should understand what I mean when I say this."
I understand, how could I not understand? Just seeing so many soldiers of the empire dying on the battlefield, but he could only look at it like this, it really hurt him in his heart.
"There is nothing we can do about it. The empire is already like this. Unless someone can stand up and crusade against him, these days..." The Minister of Foreign Affairs also felt depressed in his heart. It's a pity that he doesn't have this ability.
However, if the Minister of Defense has this intention, he will also support it. The empire can no longer be decided by him alone. If this continues, the empire will have a big problem.
"Okay, as long as I don't make trouble with him, let him do whatever he wants."
What can we do? Can we fight them directly?
In the foggy capital, the official residence of the Minister of Intelligence, a telegram made the Minister of Intelligence despair.
Smith came to tell him two days ago and asked him to pay attention to the attack speed of Situ's army and Shancheng's army in West Asia.
Although he didn't understand the reason, he still asked people to observe it.
As a result of this observation, let alone Smith, even he noticed something was wrong.
The opponent's attack was so fast that he thought that no battle broke out between the two sides. They just moved forward unimpeded.
With this analysis, the intelligence minister came to Smith.
Explained the situation.
Knowing something was wrong, he asked what he should do next, and Smith's answer made him even more desperate.
"How could they do this? They are colluding with the enemy. Don't they have any sense of shame?"
A sense of shame. If they really had this kind of heart, that would be great, but it's a pity that they don't have this kind of heart.
"After all, it is my empire's own fault." Smith did not want to pass the blame. It would not be appropriate to pass the blame to anyone.
Can you blame Baicheng and ask him to take revenge? If it was revenge, it should be Situ and the others who launched an attack on the Japanese army in advance or cooperated with the Japanese army. But they didn't.
The cooperation between Yamashiro and the Japanese army should be an extension of the oil discovery in Sanjun.
This extension was Shancheng's plan to prevent the empire from competing for the three counties.
The purpose is to separate the empire from them.
But, what method will they use?
The Japanese army cannot stay here all their lives. Sooner or later they will fail, but what will happen after they fail.
"Let's go, let's go see His Excellency the Prime Minister." We should also let him know that this time the other party's attack has no good intentions. "
Churchill's life has been quite good these days.
In order to deal with the north, Xiao Fuzi stopped bombing him. West Asia is gradually becoming more stable. Everything is developing for the better.
Although there is no substantial progress, compared with the previous period, it is already very good.
With the arrival of Smith and the Minister of Intelligence, Churchill, who was about to have lunch, greeted him warmly and said with a smile, "It seems that you have some good news again."
Good news?
The two looked at each other. They didn't think this was good news. On the contrary, this Xiao Xi would be the darkest day for the empire.
At the very least, it is definitely not a good day for the Prime Minister in front of you.
"Let's eat first." When Smith saw the food placed, he felt that he should let the Prime Minister eat the meal with peace of mind.
Otherwise, in the next few days, it would be good for him to catch his breath, let alone eat.
"That's fine, you happen to be here today. We'll have a meal together. This is such good news. We have to talk about it after dinner."
I hope so.
The Minister of Intelligence murmured in his mind.
This meal is not rich, but compared to the front line, it is already good and could not be better.
Within half an hour, the meal was over. During the break, Churchill looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "Is there any good news from West Asia?"
I never thought that this good news would come so quickly.
He didn't even know when was the last time he got good news continuously.
"Arthur's army and Shancheng's army attacked quickly and have advanced more than a hundred kilometers."
Smith explained the situation.
This...this is a good thing.
Churchill calmly picked up the teacup next to him; "Okay, they are advancing quickly, which means that their attack is not fully prepared, which makes it easier for us to counterattack. We need to let Robert speed up the attack, and in addition, we need to use the rest of the attack
On the front line, mobilize one or two armies and send them to the direction of West Asia. I feel that Shancheng and Situ are not good people."
You are right, they are really not good people.
This group of people does not plan to plot against the empire in the future, but they are already plotting against it now.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, don't you think the speed at which they are advancing is a bit scary?"
Churchill's smile disappeared.
He looked at Smith for a long time in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"No matter how bad the Japanese army was, when they attacked, they didn't think that there might be an attack from the mountain city a hundred years behind them."
Smith spread his hands and asked a question.
No one needs to explain it, but both of them know it. This must be... they must be aware of it.
It's impossible for the Japanese army to be stupid enough to attack from the front and just ignore it from behind.
That person behind him was his enemy after all, not his ally, and he would not fail to take precautions against it.
"Impossible." Churchill followed Smith's intention and continued.
But the more he talked, the more he realized something was wrong.
It's impossible for people to be unprepared. But the speed of the attack seems to be unprepared.
This means there is a problem.
"They did it on purpose," Churchill suddenly realized. There was no color on his face. He was frightened.
The joy of the past few days was all gone at this moment. The other party was plotting against him. No, it was not just one person plotting against him. It was Shancheng and the Japanese army who joined forces to plot against him.
No. If you think about it according to this setting, then the empire asked Robert to evacuate backward. It was useless at all.
Not only does it not work, but it actually gives credit to others.
