Kanes looked somewhat embarrassed, knowing he could not justify himself, especially in front of Shire.
But what could he do?
Surrender?
His fate was tied to Xia Fei.
If Xia Fei were dismissed, his future as the Deputy Chief of Staff, who had always been by Xia Fei's side, would also come to an end.
No, this cannot happen, at least he had to give it a try!
"Gentlemen." Kanes tried to uplift his head: "I believe General Joffre should not bear all the blame. We all know he made his decisions based on the advice of the staff, including General Fuxu..."
Fuxu was a good scapegoat; he was the founder of French military theory.
The implication of this sentence was: If even Fuxu could make mistakes on this issue, wouldn't it be normal for Joffre to misjudge?
Moreover, Fuxu had already paid the price for his mistakes, so similar issues wouldn't happen again!
Shire responded calmly: "I don't truly understand, General, but I know who would benefit if it were a victory!"
