Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Father and Son (8)

On one side is the General, and on the other is the Senator, offending either is no small matter!

“Of course, if this isn’t a hole, then there are no holes on the course,” Gan Yuan walked over, glanced at the hole in the ground, “This must be a newly added hole, so there’s no bucket installed yet. This truly shows the General’s prowess; you are the first to hole-in-one here. I think we should suggest the course name this hole after you!”

“Ha…” Arthur laughed aloud, “That’s not necessary!”

Senator Will secretly gritted his teeth, but the corners of his lips also curled upward, “So it seems, I’ve lost this time.”

This time, he invited Arthur out to form an alliance with him, persuading him not to dispatch troops, to undermine Gan Yuan. Unexpectedly, she not only showed up here but also devised a plan to provoke discord between him and Arthur.

With Will’s intelligence, he had already guessed that this hole must have been tampered with by Gan Yuan. However, it was inconvenient to expose it because exposing it would not offend Gan Yuan, but Arthur.

“I had initially thought Her Royal Highness, the Princess, would be busy with national affairs now, yet I didn’t expect you would still have leisure for a game of golf.”

Will deliberately said, aiming to remind Arthur that Gan Yuan’s intentions here aren’t pure, preventing him from falling into her trap.

“Had I known earlier that Senator Will had already found General Arthur, I wouldn’t have made this trip,” Gan Yuan smiled, “General Arthur, I assume Senator Will has already conveyed my orders regarding troop deployment?”

Arthur immediately feigned ignorance, “What orders, I don’t know!”

Disobeying military orders could land him in a military court, and he certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to admit that.

Gan Yuan’s face darkened, “So, Senator Will hasn’t conveyed my orders to General Arthur?”

“I…”

Being countered so suddenly by her, Will was also at a loss for words.

With the national crisis at hand, here he was playing golf, caught red-handed by her, naturally putting him at a disadvantage. If she knew his true intentions, she would probably hate him even more bitterly.

“With the nation in peril, you dare to neglect your duties like this? As a national senator, you still have the leisure to play golf?” Gan Yuan didn’t give him the chance to explain and had already walked to Will’s face, “Senator Will, I hope you can provide me with a reasonable explanation!”

“I…” Will quickly reacted, “In fact, I… I indeed came to inform the General. The Northwest situation is urgent; without the support of the Air Force, our strength would be very weak. So I specifically rushed here to convey your orders to avoid delaying military affairs!”

At this point, caught red-handed by Gan Yuan, Will certainly couldn’t admit he came to persuade Arthur not to dispatch troops.

Gan Yuan raised her lips, “Had I known this, I wouldn’t have made this trip at all. Then… the General Will’s matters are left to you. I have other matters to attend to. Please, both of you, act immediately. Before dawn tomorrow, I want all the main forces of the Giant Eagle Legion to appear on the east bank of Chihe!”

Gan Yuan turned her face, gazing at General Arthur with admiration, extending her hand to him.

“General Arthur, this time, the fate of the nation rests on you!”

The opponent personally came to convey orders, leaving Arthur no excuse to refuse.

In fact, Arthur himself did not want to refuse this opportunity. He always believed that his Air Force was the best, much stronger than the Northwest Army and the Eastern Navy. Why should he be ranked third?
