บท 278: Change of Plans?

The conclusion of the meeting didn't go well on the Ruthenian side as they found themselves cornered like a rat.

"That cunning bastard," Mikhail cursed under his breath as he walked down the hallway. His mind showed the image of Sir Claude who just forced them to make a decision by calling in the military to lend aid to the International Legation Quarter. 

He went straight to his office and found Denise on the phone. 

"Have you contacted them?" 

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Foreign Minister of the Ruthenia Empire, Sergei, is waiting for you."

"Good, give me that."

Denise handed the telephone to Mikhail who breathed a sigh of relief. Looks like the Boxers didn't cut off phone lines yet but who knows if they are already working on that?

So he's got to be quick to inform his government about the recent development.
