章 202: Chapter 53: Determination

Argesukov, the night of August 7th, 2010.

When the communication staff officer entered the room, Crown Prince Ivan Nikolayevich Andronov immediately stood up, "Was it approved?"

The communication staff officer shook his head, "The High Command responded by telegram, saying that our retreat plan would incur too great a loss, His Majesty has not approved it, demanding a better plan."

General Skorobo, standing before the map, let out a long sigh, "Send another telegram telling His Majesty that this is the best plan we could come up with, and if we act now, at least three hundred thousand men could be saved.

"The reason we can save so many is all thanks to General Rokossovsky who secured us those precious two days. If we do not act now, even those two days will be wasted. General Rokossovsky — General Rokossovsky and Duke Meishikin's fierce battle will have been in vain."
