The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2139: Unconditional surrender

However, this time, the British expeditionary force still has a problem, that is, the violent actions against French civilians in the previous few weeks. The British army used to vent their anger because of the betrayal of the French. Now, this has become a problem. The original sin of the British army, after all, civilians are innocent, whether it is French betrayal or not. From this point of view, those British officers who issued orders and those who executed British officers and soldiers will be subject to sanctions, and this kind of thing is very likely to magnify, and the British also say Nothing!

   Judging from the current situation, the Germans do not want to easily bypass the British, and even Marshal Haig is not afraid to speculate with the greatest malice that the Germans now wish the British would not surrender! If the Germans are merciful to the French, then it is a bit of a rush to kill the British!

   Afterwards, Marshal Haig once again put forward his own opinions, demanding an unconditional surrender in the presence of neutral observers, and at the same time ensuring the personal safety and property of the British surrender!

   And this time the German's answer was even more straightforward: the neutral observer has not yet arrived, and it will take a long time to arrive, then the question is, before the neutral observer arrives, do you surrender? Or continue to die hard to the end? The Germans don’t care anyway!

"Then surrender unconditionally!" In the end, with Marshal Haig's long sigh, he signed his name on the declaration of unconditional surrender. God knows when this so-called Neutral Cube Observer Group will arrive, and God knows under the pressure of the Germans. , What can this Neutral Cube Observer Group do! Now, Marshal Haig really doesn't want to play one more second!

So, later that day, Marshal Haig issued a power-on, expressing its willingness to surrender unconditionally, and the German side also expressed its willingness to accept. After that, it was an unconditional surrender ceremony. Of course, this is definitely not a formal ceremony of surrender. The second-level personnel of the other party sent a letter of surrender and discussed informal talks on related matters.

Therefore, Marshal Haig will not go to the German army in person. His chief of staff, General Wilson, will replace him with the letter of surrender to the German side. In the same way, the German side will not be surrendered by Crown Prince Ruprecht himself. On the one hand, because the crown prince has more important things to do not on the front line of the Western Front, on the other hand, it is because, in the future, in the official surrender ceremony, other people in Germany will also participate!

At the beginning, in the Battle of Sedan, the Germans were ecstatic that they were able to capture the monarch of a European power on the battlefield for the first time. This time, when the German army crushed the army of the world's most powerful empire, This kind of joy and excitement almost made everyone feel a little airy. Therefore, despite the tight time limit, the senior German army present still used 2 days to arrange a decent surrender occasion!

   At 16:00 on May 15, 1914, the British Chief of Staff General Wilson and his entourage were escorted by the German Army's guard to the German Western Front Command in a car.

   "The Germans finally have a chance to brag about their martial arts again after half a century." Looking at the German armored vehicles and infantry on both sides of the passage, a British officer said. The surrender of the Royal Expeditionary Forces of the British Royal Army, in the opinion of the Germans, this victory is more memorable than the original Battle of Sedan. Although Xiaomoqi and others are not the masters, under this situation they still made some Fancy, for example, the "steel avenue" before the British convoy entered the German front-line headquarters. More than 400 vehicles and vehicles were deployed on both sides, and the German gray paint shone in the sun. Light. This is the symbol of Deutsche Iron and Fire in the new era. It is them that made the German Army and Germany's status rise to a whole new level!

Facing this kind of behavior full of show off and demonstration, the British will naturally not have any perception, but similarly, they will not provoke opponents. After all, they have made untimely actions when they have become fish on the chopping board. What is it that is not looking for death?

   "The Germans have reason to be proud. They are the winners after all, and the winners should not be blamed." Admiral Wilson took a deep breath and said. "The glory of the empire needs to be maintained, but we must also put our minds right. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of colleagues behind us." The admiral reminded his subordinates in very vague language.

   "General, we are here." Ten minutes later, the attendant in the front seat reminded him. Then Admiral Wilson and his entourage got out of the car, and they came to the German front-line headquarters.

They were greeted by two German officers with swords. They made a follow-up gesture after verifying the documents of the British delegation. Then, a group of people walked into the courtyard of the command headquarters. Two rows of German army soldiers stood upright. Moving, they were dressed in German Army dresses, and from these dresses it can be seen that they came from different places. The one on the left should be the Prussian Army ~lightnovelpub.net~ and the one on the right should be the Bavarian Army. (The military outfits of Prussia and Bavaria are different.) Behind the two rows of soldiers are the flags or emblems of all the states of the German Empire, starting from the lowest pro-kingdom, then the principality, the grand duchy and finally the kingdom. On the front of the house, the German Empire flag appeared at the top of the gate.

   Five British soldiers were taken to the conference room. With the oak door opened, Admiral Wilson was able to witness all the German army generals present. The first seat was Little Mochi. After all, he was once the Chief of Staff of the German Army and is now the Kaiser representative. In the real commander, he can naturally sit upright without Crown Prince Ruprecht.

   On the left are the important tasks of the Prussian Army Corps, General Kruger, General Heilingen, General House, and Prince Albert. The first seat on the right is Albrecht, Grand Duke of Württemberg. The second seat is the Earl of Calypte and the Earl of Schmidt. The left side is the Prussian system, which is easy to say, but the seats on the right side are still entangled. Albrecht is a member of the royal family of Württemberg, and after the beginning of World War I, he was the commander of the group army, fighting on the western front. For two full years, there was hard work and credit, and Calypte, although he is an earl, may be promoted to duke after the war, and he also represents the Bavarian Legion. But after all, it is essentially a guest army. In order to show respect to his colleagues who had fought on the Western Front, and to save face to the kingdom of Württemberg, Earl Calypte took the second place. As compensation, the third is also a member of the Bavarian Army. The fourth on the right is an Austrian lieutenant general, after all, this time the Austrian Army also appeared on the western front.
