Chapter 1216 Exile in the Land of Cherry Blossoms
Such bold remarks really startled Ivan and the others.
If Andrei were to hear this, they would probably all be dead!
However, the group knew in their hearts that Sergei was absolutely right.
What puzzled them was why Sergei would say such a thing at this critical juncture!
Seeing that no one spoke, Sergei sighed.
"Even if not for ourselves, we should at least think about our families, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ivan and the others instantly understood Sergei's intention!
He actually planned to defect to Su Chen in order to save his life and power!
"Mr. Sergei, isn't it too early to say these things now?"
Ivan said in a low voice.
"Early? Not at all."
Sergei let out a cold laugh.
"Do you think we'll still have a chance if the Chinese Allied Forces are at our gates?"
Ivan and his companions fell silent.
As Sergei said, if they try to join Su Chen again by then, Su Chen will definitely ignore them!
The best course of action would be to take the initiative to surrender before the Chinese Allied Forces have completely taken control of the situation.
In this way, after the war, they will not only be able to save their lives, but also their power!
Ivan's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. After a long while, he finally exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Mr. Sergei, we'll do whatever you tell us to do!"
Sergei smiled with satisfaction, and was about to say something when he heard a sarcastic voice rang out.
"Your Excellency, Minister of the Interior, what are you talking about?"
The group looked up and realized that Vladimir was watching them from a short distance away.
"We didn't talk about anything, Your Excellency, Minister of Military Affairs. Is there something you need?"
Sergei pretended to be nonchalant and asked in return.
"Nothing much, it's just that our military suffered heavy losses in this war."
"Your Ministry of Internal Affairs is doing well, staying in the safe rear all the time."
"Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Vladimir said coldly.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, the war is a matter for your military. Our Ministry of the Interior is only responsible for maintaining stability in the rear."
Sergei shrugged and said sarcastically,
"Moreover, with the continuous defeats in the war, shouldn't you reflect on this?"
"you!"
Vladimir was furious!
But for a moment, he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only say resentfully,
"You just wait!"
He turned away, ignoring Sergei and the others.
Sergei smiled smugly, then addressed Ivan and the others,
"Let's talk again after we leave here."
On the other side, Vladimir's anger vanished instantly after he turned around!
"Sergei and the others are probably not up to anything good!"
Several trusted confidants looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of them said,
"Even if Sergei and his ilk are utterly despicable, they couldn't possibly betray His Majesty, could they?"
"Who knows? The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all spineless!"
Vladimir said with a grim expression,
"You all keep a close eye on things. If the Internal Affairs Department does anything suspicious, report it to me immediately!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
The group nodded quickly.
……
Meanwhile, inside the lobby.
Andrei looked at Fan Debiao and said,
"Ah Biao, is there anything you need to discuss in private?"
"Your Majesty, the current situation is quite clear."
Fan Debiao said slowly,
"If we continue to confront the Chinese allied forces head-on, the Russian bear country will eventually be unable to withstand it!"
Andrei frowned.
"What else can I do? Am I supposed to surrender to Su Chen?"
He paused, then softened his tone.
"It is precisely because our country alone is no match for Su Chen that we need your country's assistance!"
"Your Majesty, you must understand that our country cannot invest resources indefinitely to help you deal with Su Chen!"
Fan Debiao said solemnly.
"But you must also know that if our country is defeated, then China's next target will very likely be Japan!"
Andrei said without any politeness,
"I'm sure you understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold' better than I do, Ah Biao!"
Fan Debiao smiled and said slowly,
"So I came up with a compromise!"
"Tell me about it!"
"Your Majesty, please gather the nation's elite forces and come with me to Sakura Island!"
Upon hearing this, Andrei was first taken aback, then almost laughed out of anger!
He was the supreme leader of the Bear Kingdom, yet he was being asked to abandon his homeland and lead his elite warriors to the Cherry Blossom Kingdom?
If I really go to Japan, wouldn't I just become a lackey of the Black Mountain Gang?
That would be worse than just killing yourself!
"Ah Biao, are you joking?"
"I'm serious!"
Fan Debiao's expression was serious.
"Continuing this battle without having the absolute power to eliminate Su Chen is pointless!"
"It would be better to retreat to Japan and wait for support from the United States!"
Putting everything else aside, Fan Debiao's proposal is actually the most feasible.
But the problem is, Andrei can't ignore the other factors!
Even if he agreed, most of the Russian soldiers would not!
Not to mention, they also have to consider the attitude of the United States!
"Ah Biao, let's not talk about this anymore!"
Andrei was somewhat angry.
"Otherwise, our friendship will end here!"
"If Your Majesty does not agree, then there is nothing I can do."
Fan Debiao shrugged.
"We are leaving here the day after tomorrow, Your Majesty, please make your decision as soon as possible!"
He nodded to Jack.
The two stood up, bowed to Andrei, and walked out without looking back.
"Ah Biao, do you think Andrei will agree?"
After leaving St. Castle Palace, a sinister smile appeared on Jack's face.
"Without our help, he probably only has this one path left!"
Fan Debiao glanced at the magnificent palace behind him and smiled confidently.
After the Angel Legion was completely wiped out, they realized that Su Chen was now unstoppable, even if the Russian and Japanese nations combined.
Only by requesting the power of the Sanctuary of Zeus can we possibly stop Su Chen!
However, in order to help the Russian Bear Kingdom, the Sakura Kingdom sacrificed several Jonin and an entire Angel Legion.
Going back like this would be really hard to accept!
So the two of them discussed it privately and decided to persuade Andrei to take the elite troops of the Russian Empire and flee directly to the Sakura Kingdom!
Once Andrei goes to Japan, wouldn't he be completely at my mercy?
When that time comes, I can find a way to kill Andrei and thus seize the power of the Azure Dragon!
A cold glint flashed in Fan Debiao's eyes!
……
After Fan Debiao and Jack left, Andrei leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat dejected.
Despite appearing extremely tough in front of outsiders.
But in reality, Andrei was in a complete panic!
