Chapter 1136 Who did it is not important
This naturally led to a significant increase in casualties.
"Could it be that they've discovered it?" Greenland broke the silence, and a few people coughed, seemingly not understanding what he meant. "Our operation in Tokyo has been detected by their agents."
Rosef remained silent, still preoccupied with the heavy casualties suffered by the Empire's people in this gas attack.
Marcel was furious. He lit a cigarette and glanced at the two men. "I told you long ago that we shouldn't do this kind of thing, but you think that this approach will worsen the relationship between Tokyo and Yamashiro."
Has it deteriorated? No, the relationship between Yamashiro and Tokyo has not deteriorated. On the contrary, it has been in a state of recovery during this period. The battles in several war zones have changed from repeated struggles to sporadic fighting.
This is what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot.
If we're talking about who's to blame for this, the first one to blame is the president. If he hadn't come up with this unexpected solution, things wouldn't be like this today.
"Alice." Rosef didn't want to hear Marsil's complaints. What was the use of complaining now that it had already happened? What needed to be done now was to stabilize public morale and minimize the impact of this incident on the empire.
“Your Excellency, I do not recommend making a radio address,” Marcel said after thinking for a moment. “Personally, I think we should learn from Tokyo and suppress this matter by using the chemical plant explosion method.”
Giving a radio address means revealing the truth to the public.
Now that it's been made public, how do we explain it? How do we answer the difficult questions from parliament? What do we do about public demonstrations and protests? What if someone with ulterior motives jumps out to incite unrest?
This is not the time for you to stand up and bravely take responsibility for your mistakes; this is the time to suppress the news.
This news cannot be suppressed, and it is not conducive to the unity of the entire empire.
"Furthermore, the Berlin army is currently stationed on the opposite side, and the explosion happened right near the border. If the people knew this, they would immediately think of the Berlin army, not Tokyo."
This is because the Empire has been maintaining extremely close ties with Tokyo lately. Both sides have established offices in almost every city, and the Empire even hosts several major Tokyo festivals. Meanwhile, their propaganda efforts are focused on promoting the relationship between the Empire and Tokyo.
Who would believe that Berlin was behind this?
Let alone the general public who wouldn't believe it, even those inside the Presidential Palace, the National Defense Building, and the Foreign Affairs Building who don't know the truth probably wouldn't believe it either.
"You handle this matter." Rosef felt immense pressure, especially since this series of issues exploded in his mind like a bomb.
Things are not as simple as I thought.
"strangeness."
At the Ninth War Zone Command Headquarters, after reading the telegram sent by Deng Yaoxian, he looked up in a daze and asked Deng Yaoxian and Khabayev, who was temporarily working at the Ninth War Zone Command Headquarters, "Why did a poison gas bomb explode on their border?"
Deng Yaoxian shook his head.
The incident happened suddenly, and since he had only arrived in Changsha yesterday afternoon, he didn't know much about it.
"Sir, so far, I have not received any news of any unusual activity over there. This matter seems to have happened suddenly."
It happened suddenly.
After putting down the telegram, Xiao Zhuge lit a cigarette, took two puffs, extinguished the cigarette, and turned to look at Deng Yaoxian.
"Let's leave this matter here and not investigate it further."
"What does the commander mean?" Deng Yaoxian stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Is it Zhou Weiguo and the others...?"
Little Zhuge returned to his seat; "It should be them, but I estimate that this time his operation is probably not as simple as just throwing two poison gas bombs."
Judging from the timeline, those people should have left long ago. Everything had been calm for so long, so it's unlikely that the kid would suddenly become violent and take action.
“I think we should investigate the Japanese side?” Khabayev interjected appropriately from the side.
Khabayev should have gone to the Second Division, which was his domain, but Commander Bai had his own ideas. The Central Army had the Second Division, which had a man surnamed Dai, and he had many capable generals under his command. Deng Yaoxian, the man in front of him, was one of the Eight Great Generals of the Second Division, and the others were no less capable, each with their own abilities.
They each have their own strengths in assassination, reconnaissance, analysis, and infiltration. Even though they have been purged once, their elites are still there.
Moreover, although these two agencies are the intelligence departments of the mountain city, they are also infiltrating the local area.
The Guangxi Army was not afraid of turning against the Central Army, but it was at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence. Therefore, he took Khabayev from the Independent Brigade and made him his first adjutant. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Li was mainly responsible for document organization and security.
Khabayev is indeed a talented man. Little Zhuge only talked with him for half an hour before immediately appointing him as a lieutenant colonel.
"Tell me your thoughts," Little Zhuge asked after glancing at Khabayev.
Khabayev lowered his head and thought for a moment, then explained his thoughts and added, "Sir, when we were in Victory City, I discussed this matter with Takeshita Shun. Berlin is the central point of the whole process. If it makes a move to withdraw, the Japanese army will definitely not be happy. If they are unhappy, we will have to find a way to keep them there. The way to keep them there is to deteriorate the situation between the two sides. In this case, using poison gas is the best way."
"Shifting the blame eastward?" Little Zhuge said, turning around to pick up the telegram he had just put down, looking at it again and again before shaking his head. "Kyoto doesn't have the guts to do that. If he were to do it, he would offend both Berlin and the United States."
Those guys were skilled gamblers, but they weren't stupid.
So this matter...
“Sir, it doesn’t matter who did it, as long as the objective is achieved. Besides, if I’m not mistaken, the Japanese probably don’t know the specifics of the poison gas release.” Khabayev’s analysis made Little Zhuge put his hands behind his back. “It seems that the only way to find out the truth is to wait for that kid to come back.”
Deng Yaoxian accompanied him as he paced around the room. Hearing him give this order, he approached Xiao Zhuge and asked, "Sir, are we really not going to investigate this matter?"
