Yeburg's Antean Headquarters received the telegram and finished decoding it at three o'clock in the morning.
Early the next day, at the imperial council meeting, General Tugenev handed the telegram to Olga.
After quickly reading the telegram, Olga spoke out loud, "Then let's attack, what's the problem?"
General Tugenev, "So far, our attacks on the well-prepared and able Prosen Army have not gone well. Look at General Gorky, who has been attacking for a week. Although he has achieved some results, the enemy's strongest 9th Army Group remains unshaken, and has even retaken the breached defensive line through a counterattack.
"We incurred heavy casualties at the site of the 9th Army Group. Preliminary estimates suggest a casualty exchange rate as high as three to one, us being the three.
"Under these circumstances, it wouldn't be appropriate for Rocossov to attack because if he is defeated, it might restore the enemy's confidence and cause us to lose ours.
