Chapter 862 Whoever caused the problem should solve it
Hasegawa wiped his hands and picked up the newspaper Xiao Ya had left on the table to read. "I believe Shancheng would never do such a thing, but the problem is that the person currently in charge of this matter is your second daughter, Asaka Hiderei. I don't believe she would let this opportunity go."
"That's true, but we don't have any bargaining chips. You should know that if you want to get more from them, they won't give it to you without bargaining chips."
chips?
Chang Guqing's mouth curled up slightly; "I just don't believe you don't know what this bargaining chip will be?"
Special Envoy at Watsonton Mountain City.
The huge banner of the Empire once again fluttered in the courtyard.
Standing in the corridor, looking around to see if there was anything that needed to be done, Robert noticed the sound of high heels.
Knowing it was Ruth, he took a deep breath, turned around, leaned against the corridor, and said to Ruth, "I have a vague feeling that the agreement between us and Shancheng may not be over yet."
"After the third fleet from Berlin departed, the White House issued an order for the rapid shipment of supplies. The first batch of equipment has already departed, and it won't be long before these supplies arrive and are delivered to Shancheng. Sir Robert, you seem to be worrying too much."
It is definitely not over, but I don’t know how Shancheng will respond and deal with this matter.
"I hope I'm just worrying too much." He put the wine glass on the table next to him, crossed his arms and looked at the tree-surrounded road outside the courtyard.
The appearance of a black car made Robert frown slightly and mutter, "I knew this matter wasn't that simple. Go meet him. I won't get involved. Listen to what they have to say."
After saying that, he turned and went to the room. Ruth nodded and turned to go downstairs. When he reached the courtyard, he saw Chaoxiang Xiuling had gotten out of the car and was pulling at her military uniform.
"Lieutenant Colonel Xiuling, we meet again." In public, Ruth usually calls Asaka Xiuling like this, but when talking to outsiders, Asaka Xiuling omits her name.
"Yes, there's a saying in Shancheng: 'If we're destined to meet, we'll meet even if we're thousands of miles apart; if we're not destined to meet, we'll never meet even if we're face to face.' And we're meeting under these circumstances. Perhaps this is the legendary fate."
Ruth smiled faintly. "Your Excellency is right. We are indeed destined to meet. I believe you are here today to ask for aid supplies. Don't worry, we are honest and trustworthy. The supplies have already been shipped, so they won't be long."
Asaka Hiderei smiled at Ruth and said, "Of course I know that. I also know that if it weren't for the departure of the third fleet from Berlin, you probably wouldn't be happy to let these supplies go. So, I'm here today to inform you that you don't have to transport the supplies anymore. After all, it's not easy for everyone."
It's not easy for everyone.
Ruth suppressed a laugh in her heart, but pretended to be very serious and asked, "What does this mean, Lieutenant Colonel?"
"Literally, if you're not sincere in your cooperation, then there's no point in continuing. So, please tell your country, Miss Ruth, that we can't return the combat aircraft that have already arrived. As for the other supplies that haven't been shipped, there's no need to ship them. After all, what you've been doing lately has really chilled my heart."
After saying this, Chaoxiang Xiuling looked towards the second floor; "Mr. Robert is probably ashamed of his country's shamelessness, so he doesn't meet with me."
Even though everyone was so shrewd, the empire still miscalculated.
Ruth smiled faintly as she saw Chaoxiang Xiuling off, then turned and went upstairs.
"What did she say?" Robert turned and asked.
"They told us not to ship any more supplies. They said that since we have no sincerity in cooperating, there's no need to waste each other's time. Based on their capabilities, they will definitely be able to stop the Japanese attack. Even if they can't, there are still ways to stop it."
Ruth was just retelling the story in the beginning, but the last sentence was added by her herself.
She was so familiar with Chaoxiang Xiuling and the others, so how could she not understand the meaning of today's incident?
It is no longer appropriate to do this at the original price. If we want Shancheng to take action now, we have to add supplies.
Otherwise, this matter, otherwise, there is no room for negotiation.
"I knew something was going to happen," Robert sighed and said to Ruth. "Report it. Since the Presidential Office caused this, they should handle it themselves."
I have already reminded the locals that Shancheng is no longer the honest people they used to be, and they are becoming more and more cunning.
When you negotiate with them, once they gain the upper hand, they will definitely jump out like a mad dog and will never let go until they have bitten a piece of your flesh.
Now, this problem has arisen.
Whoever causes trouble must take responsibility for it.
Hey……
The Secretary of State valued the telegram in his hand and already had the urge to curse the President.
But in the end, he endured it and drank two more cups of coffee, which calmed him down.
However, coffee is a refreshing thing, and it also stimulates the nerves to move forward.
After entering the office, he placed the telegram directly on the table. "Mr. President, this is the consequence of your delay in delivering the supplies to them. Now, they have made the necessary counterattack."
Roosevelt reached out, picked up the telegram, and read it without saying a word.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "This was a mistake on my part. I didn't consider that Berlin didn't actually want Tokyo to attack Yamashiro, and our actions were noticed by Berlin."
"Yes, our delay was noticed by Berlin." The Secretary of State's face became even uglier.
Can we say that if the Empire had not delayed its material aid to the mountain city this time, can we say that Berlin would not have dispatched this fleet?
"We... to use a phrase from Shancheng, we really shot ourselves in the foot this time." George sat depressed on the sofa and looked at Roosevelt with a resentful face.
It's all because of this guy. It would have been fine if the equipment had been given to him, but he insisted on delaying.
Now, Tokyo has not taken any action yet, but Berlin has.
Why didn't he think that if the person who least wanted the Japanese army to attack the mountain city was Berlin, maybe Berlin, while sending troops, was also using other methods to prevent this incident.
When thinking about the past relationship between the Empire and Tokyo.
George felt really cold inside.
Roosevelt opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, George lit a cigarette and said, "Mr. President, at this point, I'm afraid there is only one way to resolve the current crisis in our empire."
