He had considered exposing Arthur's ambition after the failure of the negotiations, but the chances of failure were high.
One must take into account Arthur's immense reputation in the United Kingdom, something that neither King George V nor Edward VII had achieved. Furthermore, with the propaganda of the media controlled by Australasia, most British people would probably still choose to believe in the power of the media.
What would he, Winston Schmidt, be by then? A criminal who broke the relationship between the two royal families? Or just another scapegoat forcibly pushed out? Isn't it the same outcome in the end?
Seeing Schmidt's reluctance, Arthur smiled and said, "Mr. Schmidt, have you considered the world order after the end of the war?"
Schmidt nodded, "Of course. If we could defeat Germany, the world order formed by Britain and Australasia would still be able to control the situation."
