Seeing Fuxu in deep thought, Shire added: "You know the situation Nivelle is facing now, General. He will soon be stepping down from his position as Total Commander, whether he wants to or not."
Fuxu nodded slowly.
It is not just about Nivelle colluding with the British, it is also about his lack of reputation and his own capabilities.
For a new official doubted so much, winning a battle might help temporarily consolidate his position.
But now he has lost a battle, a terribly heavy loss, and a series of scandals about concealing the war situation has been exposed.
If it weren't for the tense combat situation, he would have already been removed from his position.
Shire continued: "I don't want the next Total Commander to still be under British control, and neither do you, right?"
This is the reason why Shire believed Fuxu couldn't refuse his plan.
