The staff meeting on the situation in Laos was stormy. General officers have been quarrelling, each one wanting to have more troops from the general reserve assigned to him.
This one not being infinite, General Rikichi was obliged to be firm. In fact, his subordinates agreed on only one thing: the Thais had to be on their own in Laos. But this was hardly possible. The seriousness of the situation on the Burmese front raised doubts in high places about the loyalty of the Thai troops. To leave them alone to the troops of the colonialists was to take the risk of seeing them give in to demoralization or even to treason.
The Japanese general had to emphasize that regaining the initiative in Laos was politically unavoidable and that everyone should live with it.
This morning, after having slept less than five hours, Andou Rikichi returned to his office at the Metropole Hotel with a violent headache.
