    New Delhi, Government House.

    James Bruce, the Governor-General of British India, roared loudly in the Governor's Palace, waving his arms constantly, and cursed in a high and low tone: "It's stupid, it's beyond stupid. An army of three thousand people was captured by Xi Changzhen silently. It's simply  It¡¯s a pig¡¯s brain. The situation in India is urgent. We are under huge pressure, but Colonel Vita lost a brigade silently. How to explain, bastard, why did you choose such a fool.¡±

    Canning, the Financial Secretary, frowned and persuaded: "Your Excellency, the matter has already happened, and it is useless to pursue it further. Colonel Vita has become a prisoner of the Chinese army. This is very detrimental to us, and we should consider countermeasures."

    It is difficult to remain calm when I think of three thousand soldiers being disarmed without a sound.

    There are only more than 10,000 British troops in India, and more than 3,000 people are one-third of the force, and they are all the elite of the army. One can imagine James Bruce's mood.

    James Bruce suppressed his boiling anger and asked, "What are your ideas, Lord Canning?"

    "Not yet."

    Canning shook his head, his expression full of helplessness.

    ¡°Sir Charles, what suggestions do you have.¡±

    James Bruce turned his eyes and asked again. The person who proposed the surprise attack on Zhang Zhidong was the Chief Secretary for Administration Charles. Now the three thousand soldiers led by Colonel Vita have been wiped out, and the Chief Secretary for Administration Charles is not even farting.  One, James Bruce was still very unhappy.

    No matter what, at least let me know and share my opinion.

    Charles sighed: "Speaking of which, the annihilation of Colonel Vita's army was originally an excellent strategy. It could break the current deadlock and put Li Zhen into a passive situation in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, no one expected that Colonel Vita would be like this.  You are not smart enough to throw yourself into a trap, isn't this looking for death?"

    James Bruce¡¯s face suddenly darkened. Does this mean he doesn¡¯t recognize people well?

    Charles continued: "Besides, our suggestion was a surprise attack, and we did not let him blatantly join forces with Xi Changzhen. After Colonel Vita led the troops to go out, he could have quietly led the troops to attack when Xi Changzhen and Zhang Zhidong were fighting.  Zhang Zhidong¡¯s headquarters captured Zhang Zhidong in one fell swoop. With Zhang Zhidong in hand and the threat of the Chinese army, Li Zhen will no longer be able to be arrogant."

    Financial Secretary Canning frowned and thought, we can¡¯t blame Colonel Vita for this matter.

    ¡°After all, everything happens for a reason.

    Canning had something in mind and immediately explained: "Speaking of which, Colonel Vita really cannot be blamed for this matter. The most important thing is that there is a problem with our intelligence. We did not detect the relationship between Zhang Zhidong and Xi Changzhen.  A group of people joined forces to act in a show to deceive Prawandin, and also deceived us. Prawandin was captured by Li Zhen in Agartala, and Colonel Vita went to Gosiba, but because he did not understand the situation  That's why he was set up by Xi Changzhen. In that case, Colonel Vita cannot be blamed."

    "Whoever said it was Colonel Vita's fault and his improper command."

    Charles glared and said loudly.

    If the responsibility is not shifted to Colonel Vita, it means that his suggestion is wrong. Charles firmly refuses to admit that his suggestion is wrong. On the contrary, Charles believes that his suggestion is a stroke of genius that changes the entire battlefield situation.  The essential.

    Therefore, it can only be Colonel Vita's fault.

    Charles looked serious and retorted in a loud voice: "I won't repeat the surprise attack. One more thing, Colonel Vita should not have exposed himself when he was gone, and he should not have put the army under Xi Changzhen's nose. In addition, even if  When cooperating with Xi Changzhen, we shouldn't lead the army into the city carelessly. Once we enter Xi Changzhen's military camp, Xi Changzhen's soldiers are everywhere, which is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. I think this is Colonel Vita's fault."

    "No, no, I don't think so."

    Canning and Charles fought and retorted: "Under the circumstances at that time, we had no idea that Xi Changzhen had surrendered to Li Zhen. With this premise, uniting with Xi Changzhen was undoubtedly the best choice, and we could use Xi Changzhen to take the lead, so  , Colonel Vita's failure was not caused by recklessness, and the responsibility should not be passed on to him."

    Charles stood up suddenly and roared: "You mean I should be responsible."

    "snort,."

    Canning snorted and said: "I don't know who is responsible, but I know that Colonel Vita should not be fully responsible."

    "you¡­¡­"

    Charles was furious, already furious.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, James Bruce stopped him and said: "Well, this matter is neither the fault of Colonel Vita nor the fault of His Excellency Charles. It is because Xi Changzhen is too cunning. The matter is now over.There is no point in discussing it anymore. This matter ends here. What we are considering now is how to save the situation and change the current defeat.  "

    Canning sighed: "Your Majesty the Governor, I didn't mean to say that our army is incompetent. Think about it, on the Chinese battlefield, how many times has the Empire fought against Li Zhen, but they have failed without exception, no matter how well prepared they are, no matter how well prepared they are,  No matter how elite the troops are, no matter how powerful the weapons are, we will still lose in the end. I think we will have no chance of winning in a battle with Li Zhen."

    James Bruce sighed and said, "Are you just sitting there waiting to die?"

    "You can't wait to die," Charles said. "I have some suggestions."

    "What advice." A smile appeared on James Bruce's face.

    Charles said: "Li Zhen is expanding at a rapid speed, and at this time, if we cause trouble behind him, Li Zhen will not have time to continue the attack, so I think what we have to do now is to cause trouble."

    Canning asked: "How to cause trouble."

    Charles narrowed his eyes and Sen shouted: "Kill."

    "Kill someone."

    James Bruce asked again.

    Charles said: "Assassination of governors in various regions of India. As long as the regional governors that Li Zhen has conquered and appeased, we will accept them as targets of assassination. Just imagine, officials are killed in various regions, it will definitely cause commotion.  , causing instability in the rear. After Li Zhen got the news, it was impossible to continue sending troops forward, and we had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and even seized the opportunity to counterattack."

    James Bruce asked: "Guys, what do you think?"

    Canning replied: "I think it's feasible, but I'm worried that once Li Zhen finds out, Li Zhen will take the same approach as others, and also take action against our people."

    Charles shook his head and said: "The consuls we control are all locals, and many of them even work against us. If Li Zhen is willing to send people to assassinate them, this is a good thing. It can help us get rid of internal troubles."

    After hearing this, Canning stopped refuting, but felt something was wrong in his heart.

    There are too many uncontrollable factors in this kind of thing.

    The Secretary for Justice nodded in agreement, and several giants reached a consensus. James Bruce immediately arranged the matter and asked his subordinates to start preparations.

    Time is running out, so we must seize every opportunity.
