When Albert I found Shire, Shire was nonchalantly signing documents.
Albert I approached cautiously and asked, "Brigadier, have you heard? They are preparing to have Xia Fei accept the surrender."
"Yes, I have heard." Shire calmly nodded.
"What do you think?" Albert I asked again.
Without waiting for Shire's answer, Albert I angrily exclaimed, "It's outrageous, everyone knows this is your credit, we absolutely cannot tolerate this. Besides, have they not considered Belgium? Isn't it us who truly have the say?"
Albert I's words were not wrong.
Although the battle was fought by the British and French Allies, the battlefield was in Belgium, and from the perspective of respecting national territorial sovereignty, Albert I's opinion should be sought no matter what.
Albert I then assured Shire, "Don't worry, Brigadier. I will immediately go to Paris to express Belgium's stance."
"It won't work, Your Majesty." Shire continued to sign documents, "They are not afraid of you."
