Chapter 841 Watsonton regrets his decision
The word "please advise" made Chao Xiang Xiuling shake her head like a rattle. "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. If I can help you, it will be my honor."
Fatty Kong waved his hand. "Alright, don't be so polite. Don't be so literary here. If you really start to be literary, you will definitely not be Xiuling's opponent. Just ask if you have anything to say."
The man thought about it and agreed. Asaka Hideki was raised by Prince Asaka since childhood, and was intended to be a political marriage, but was later intercepted by Zhou Weiguo. This man got a good deal.
"Mrs. Zhou, in your opinion, will the Japanese army launch a general offensive?"
"That's impossible," Asaka Hiderei confirmed, shaking her head. "The Japanese want to launch a general attack on us because they're being suppressed by Watsontown. They can't expand outward, so they can only attack our mountain city, and then extend their reach to Central Asia or West Asia. However, with the US facing a direct threat from Berlin, Watsontown won't dare to threaten or coerce Tokyo. Naturally, there's no need for the Japanese to waste their efforts. After all, the British are easier to defeat than us."
"In other words, our Second Division should focus on developing in the periphery, understanding the conditions of various countries and laying a solid foundation for entering or indirectly entering these places in the future."
Chao Xiang Xiuling nodded. "You could say that, and I personally suggest that we expand into places like Delhi and Myanmar. We'll probably spend most of our time seizing the benefits here. As for Northern Jiangsu, that's a matter of time. Of course, this is just my personal suggestion, not the real decision of the Second Division. But one thing is for sure: they're unlikely to launch a general offensive."
"Sister Xiuling." Fatty Kong coughed. "But there's a problem. They've already gathered all the troops and supplies. This..."
Asaka Hiderei waved her hand. "It doesn't matter. Just because supplies are gathered doesn't mean we have to fight. A general attack on the mountain city right now would do us no good. We have to trust the Japanese headquarters' foresight. They may be stupid, but they can still tell the difference between good and evil."
The sky is falling.
In Watsonton, a spotless white office building, the Secretary of State had an urge to jump out of the window.
What did he receive?
The Berlin Fleet suddenly appeared in southeastern Canada and defeated the local patrol fleet and garrison. Immediately afterwards, a large number of Berlin Wehrmacht troops quickly landed. In less than two hours, they seized machine guns, army infantry battalions, and established a nearly 30-kilometer-long and wide front. Now, southeastern Canada was under attack from the Berlin Army, and their fleet had formed a defensive line.
"Oh my God." He wailed, his hands shaking as he read the message again. He muttered to himself, "This can't be true. This... This can't be true. There must be a mistake, really. I think there must be a mistake on the radio."
Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could the Berlin fleet suddenly appear here? Could it be that the British side had no idea at all?
This is impossible.
"It's true." The secretary beside him affirmed, causing him to gasp and slump down in the leather chair beside him. "Oh my God, this will be the darkest day for our empire."
The Secretary of State, venting his inner anger and dissatisfaction with grief, stood up after a while. "I need to see the President. I'm afraid the operation in Shancheng is no longer feasible."
Damn it, if the Empire had known that they were using someone else as a substitute, how could they have done something to provoke the mountain city?
The Secretary of State felt a buzzing pain in his head when he thought of Robert and his group who had been forcibly expelled from the mountain city.
They knew what the Empire was going to do, so they expelled them in protest, but now...
Hey……
With a sigh, the Secretary of State came to Roosevelt's office with the telegram in his hand. He handed the telegram to Roosevelt and said, "Mr. President, today will be a dark day for the people of free countries."
After reading the telegram, Roosevelt frowned and asked, "Is the information reliable?"
"It's confirmed that their forces have already landed. The British troops in Canada are completely unable to stop their attack. They are now advancing like a hot knife through butter and have already captured several locations. In addition, their air force has also begun to attack key transportation routes along the way."
"It's indeed an unfortunate day." Roosevelt took a deep breath and looked at the secretary working beside him. "Convene the parliament immediately. Also, we need to contact the mountain city immediately. We need them right now."
That's easy to say.
The Secretary of State stared at the President in surprise for a moment before saying, "Your Excellency, I want to point out that Shancheng is not our vassal. Our actions some time ago have already made them very dissatisfied, and they expelled our special envoy from Shancheng. Now, with the situation changing, we are contacting them again. They are not our pets."
"This is a major mistake in our decision-making, and the price we have to pay for this mistake is very serious. However, my dear Secretary of State, you must believe that no matter what the price we pay, it will be much lighter than allowing Tokyo and Berlin to jointly launch an attack on our empire."
The Berlin army arrived in Canada. In the previous operations, the Empire's suppression of Tokyo had already put them on the verge of a breakup. Now that there is a powerful existence, the possibility of them breaking up with the Empire will be even greater.
If not handled properly, the Japanese army will launch an attack on the empire's homeland, because now they have the conditions to do so.
The Secretary of State nodded helplessly.
How could he not understand this? It was precisely because he understood this that he felt it was a dark day.
The moment he received the telegram, he knew that the empire needed the mountain city to delay the Japanese army, rather than thinking about dividing the mountain city with the Japanese army.
However, what the Empire did was too blatant, and now there is no way to reconcile with them.
"What we did recently has already damaged their interests and friendship. Reconciling with them now won't be easy." The Secretary of State knew that the situation was changing, and the Empire needed Shancheng. But would the Empire's recent actions satisfy them? Shancheng was a nation, a nation with millions of troops. They were no small fry.
Roosevelt pondered for a moment and then said, "Although I look down on that fat guy Winston, there is one thing he said that I very much agree with."
