Chapter 1140 Master, playing like this will only lead to defeat.
knowledge?
The butler looked at his master with a drastically changed expression. He didn't understand why, since his master knew that Berlin would not withdraw its troops, he would still try to entice him with the idea that they would definitely withdraw.
"Sir, I don't understand."
Ok……
Prince Asaka raised his head slightly. He hadn't expected that his butler was actually a patriot. Shouldn't this guy be expressionless?
Your attitude confuses me.
Prince Asaka pointed to his butler; "Given your relationship with Zhou Weiguo, you shouldn't be acting this way."
"My lord, I am greedy, but this is crucial to the strength of the empire. We have already made too many enemies; there is no need to provoke America as well."
The empire already has enough enemies: the mountain city, Britain, France, and the Northern Soviet Union, which is always lurking and eager to reclaim Vladivostok.
Now, there is an added beauty.
Is the empire truly so powerful that no one can rival it?
He didn't believe it.
"I understand what you mean. I also want to suppress this matter." Prince Asaka said helplessly.
There was nothing he could do.
Looking at the situation in Canada, it's clear that Zhou Weiguo's methods were involved.
If I don't do this according to his wishes, who knows what kind of crazy thing he'll do when he comes back.
“You know better than anyone what kind of person he is.” Asaka rubbed her slightly throbbing temples. “He’s definitely involved in this. If I don’t do this, he’ll still find other ways, and might even come here to find some people to vent his anger on.”
The empire's patience with him was nearing its limit. If anything happened in Tokyo involving him, the palace guards would truly take action against him.
"Is the master worried that the palace might retaliate against him through his men?"
The butler asked cautiously.
Revenge against the palace?
Prince Asaka shook his head; "No, I'm not worried about that. What I'm worried about is that we'll be found out."
Royal families can have scoundrels, but the truth is, that scoundrel cannot be oneself. This is a matter of one's lifelong reputation.
To put it bluntly, even if... even if the empire were to fail, he would absolutely not bear the infamy.
"But the problem is that if we do this, we might lose."
lose.
Isn't this just a matter of time? Perhaps if we face reality sooner, the empire can still salvage some of its interests.
"They've sent troops."
In Canada, Guderian smiled and handed the telegram to Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting on the sofa smoking.
Zhou Weiguo reached out and took the telegram, glanced at it, and then casually placed it aside. "I told you long ago that they would definitely send troops. And when they do, it's a measured move. Whether you leave or not, they can remain undefeated. If the US wants to put pressure on them, they should consider whether this Japanese army stationed in the east might suddenly launch an attack."
Guderian sat down beside him and crossed his arms. "To be honest, sometimes I really don't understand why they would make such a decision, abandoning the question of whether our army should retreat or not. Even if they were to retreat, if it were me, I wouldn't send troops either. After all, we've provoked too many enemies. We can't start a war against a powerful opponent without taking one down first."
Zhou Weiguo handed a cigarette to Guderian, lit one for himself, and chuckled, “Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Ever since that battle decades ago, when they won, they’ve been on the winning side in every subsequent battle. This has inadvertently increased their ambition and confidence. And in this great war, whether it’s against our mountain city, the Northern Soviet Union, or even Britain, they have achieved unprecedented victories. The resources this region has given them are enough to make them capable of fighting.”
It's all because of ambition.
Of course, his father-in-law probably played a part in this, otherwise things wouldn't have happened so quickly.
When I get back this time, I must go and properly thank him.
“I have a feeling they’re going to fail miserably,” Guderian said, taking a deep drag on his cigarette and tossing the butt into the glass ashtray beside him.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at him sideways and laughed, "What, from what you're saying, it seems you're pitying them."
Pitiful?
I wouldn't say that. It's just that I feel like the people in Tokyo have gone so crazy that they can't even see themselves clearly anymore.
"Whether he fails or not has nothing to do with us. As long as we hold our own interests in our hands, why bother with anything else?"
That's true. Why should he worry about these things? As long as the empire can protect its own interests, that's enough.
News of Tokyo's decision to launch an attack on eastern Canada was quickly relayed to the intelligence agencies of various countries by spies.
Fog.
Although the weather is gloomy today, it's a good day for hunting.
Winston, who still considered hunting a habit, saw a rare opportunity and took his hunting rifle and hounds to hunt in the woods of his estate outside the city.
Under the campfire.
The tender rabbit meat sizzled with hot oil. Winston watched as the roasted rabbit was almost cooked through, and prepared to reach out and tear off a piece to satisfy his craving.
Before they could even make a move, several people strode over from a distance.
Secretary of the Army Wilson, Chief of Intelligence Green, and Secretary of the Navy John.
"You've come early, or you've come at the perfect time. You've had a good haul today. Come, let's eat some rabbit meat together. I also brought some good wine with me today."
The Army Minister glanced at the two rabbits on the shelf, then moved a rock over and sat on it. "Your Majesty the Prime Minister's luck continues. And today is a day to celebrate."
celebrate?
Winston looked up slightly, thinking of something that had happened some time ago.
News suddenly came from Canada that the Berlin army might withdraw its troops from Canada, though the specific reasons are unclear.
However, upon receiving this news, he immediately thought it was impossible. But the think tank research lab offered him another possibility.
The African war has reached a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand. In this situation, if one side has 100,000 or 200,000 more troops, it may be able to break the deadlock.
At that time, Winston dared not confidently say that the Berlin army would definitely not send troops.
Therefore, while he observed the situation, he instructed the North Atlantic Fleet to prepare for interception.
We don't need to worry about them going, but if they come back, we'll beat them to death. Anyway, they can only stay there; whether they live or die is none of their business, since they can't come back.
Now, based on the words of the Minister of War, he figured that it was very likely that there were new developments in Berlin.
"What, aren't they withdrawing their troops?"
"No, Your Excellency Prime Minister, you should say that what happened today is more inspiring than their withdrawal."
