Chapter 1135 His charm is stronger than ours
Berlin is withdrawing its troops. How is that possible?
He preferred to believe that the empire had already been defeated.
The prime minister, who was deep in thought, looked up at Sakata Seishiro, whose face was ashen.
He also thought it was impossible; Berlin had finally gained a foothold in Canada, how could they possibly withdraw their troops?
This is really just playing house.
That's what he thinks, but the Prime Minister isn't sure. Now that he sees people so loudly saying it's impossible, he's naturally happy to listen to their opinions.
Prince Asaka subtly shifted his position, keeping his distance from someone like Seishiro Sakata to avoid having his spittle sprayed in his face.
"Sakata-kun, tell me your thoughts," the Prime Minister called on him.
Seishiro Sakata shared his analysis.
He had three points to make.
It was hard-won, hard-won, and hard-won again.
Berlin spent so much time and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to gain a foothold in Canada. How could they possibly give up? Besides, Canada has some valuable resources. Would they just abandon those resources like that?
That's impossible.
The Minister of Commerce and Prince Asaka sat together. As they heard that Sakata Seishiro was coming to an end, the Minister of Commerce, worried about the unpredictable situation, lowered his voice and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
I?
Prince Asaka, who had intended to remain invisible, put down his coffee.
He didn't really have any opinion, or rather, he believed that the Prime Minister had also seen some problems, but this group of people had indirectly ignored them.
In the words of the mountain town, that's self-deception and burying one's head in the sand.
The Prime Minister's stern face softened slightly as he heard the Minister of Commerce's inquiry. So, after Sakata Seishiro finished speaking, he immediately turned and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, why don't you share your opinion as well?"
Prince Asaka lit a cigarette, glanced at the group of people, then leaned back on the sofa in a lazy posture and slowly began to speak: "What I want to say is that you all know this, but you choose not to mention it or try to bury your heads in the sand thinking they wouldn't think of it. But don't forget, we have been learning everything from the West all along. What makes us so arrogant now, thinking they are nothing special?"
After taking a drag of her cigarette, Asaka hummed in agreement. "Let me think about it. Our current offensive in South Asia is going smoothly, forcing the mountain city into a corner. We also gained the natural port of Haishengwei in the war against the Soviet Union. We established Manchukuo outside the Great Wall, and we supported a government loyal to us in Nanjing. These are the fruits of our victory. But, gentlemen, can't Berlin think of the problems we can think of? We have no way out because our enemy is right here. If we don't support them, their forces will directly confront us. But does Berlin have no choice? What would happen if they withdrew these hundreds of thousands of troops back to the African battlefield?"
At this point, Prince Asaka tapped the table. "I want to tell you something: their main battlefield has never been here, but in Europe. If we think they won't be reluctant to give it up, then I'd like to add one more thing: Adolf's charm is something we can't compare to."
People say you can just throw things away, but here, can you really throw things away? No, because we can't bear to part with them.
Charm is everything. You might think the other person is irreplaceable, but they won't care about such things.
The Prime Minister's words left him speechless; he wanted to refute them, but he couldn't.
The Minister of Commerce and Trade had initially agreed with Sakata Seishiro's statement, but Prince Asaka's words made him realize something he hadn't considered.
That is, Berlin's focus is not on Canada and the United States. They might pay attention to the Soviet Union or Africa, because that's where they can directly obtain resources, but Canada is not the only option.
It's just a matter of supporting a puppet; the Empire can do it, and so can Berlin.
The US doesn't fear the puppet it supports; it fears the hundreds of thousands of Berlin troops stationed in Canada. It's certain that once these troops withdraw, the US won't again decide to restrict the transport of supplies to the Reich.
"If they really leave, or even a third of them leave, the American thieves will definitely restrict our supplies." The Minister of Trade's words made not only the Prime Minister but also Seishiro Sakata tense up.
The empire is short of resources, a problem known to the higher-ups.
The people of the empire saw only victory, victory, and more victory, but the higher-ups saw that the effort was completely disproportionate to the reward, and resources were not keeping up, especially steel, coal, and other resources.
Why fight war to sustain war? It sounds very sophisticated and is a novel and attractive term, but in reality, it means there is no support, so they are like bandits, plundering while launching a new round of attacks.
What are the chances of him being the one?
possibility?
The Minister of Commerce rubbed his hair in frustration; "I don't know how big it will be, but I'm sure our empire's economy will suffer a devastating blow."
A devastating blow occurred in the downtown area of a border city, near the local state capital.
After the explosion, the pervasive poison gas swept through the streets, engulfing the people walking along the way, before reaching the area where the state capital was located.
Poisonous gas was reaping lives, amidst screams, cries, and chaotic noise.
Overwhelming.
Without a word, just a few gas attacks were enough to make Secretary of State Greenland in Washington and Defense Secretary Marcel, who had been summoned, involuntarily swallow hard.
"This is the hardest day for my free nation." The president, sitting dejectedly in his wheelchair, put down the telegram and asked his secretary beside him, "What are the losses?"
The secretary has already sent a telegram to inquire about the situation. The casualties are severe, and many people will likely be blind for the rest of their lives.
"The death toll has reached more than 3,000, and the number of people who have gone blind is estimated to be even higher."
Greenland had prepared for heavy casualties, but when he heard the number, he still gasped in disbelief and asked, "Why are there so many?"
The secretary stammered, but Marcel finally offered an explanation: "It certainly wasn't a poison gas bomb that exploded."
Yes, not one, but two poison gas bombs exploded.
Originally, Asaka Shurei's plan was to use only one poison gas bomb, but Nanzo Akiko believed that whether she used one or two, it would be the same. So the two of them discussed it and, ignoring Ruth's words that they were innocent, they directly used two.
Each one was placed with exceptional skill, aiming precisely into the crowd.
