Chapter 2140: Unconditional Surrender II

(page 1/1)

Behind Moltke is an oil painting depicting the attack of the German army. The German tanks, infantry and bombers in the sky rushed through the opponent's defense line, and the bodies of the British and Belgians fell on the defense line. This very ironic picture made General Wilson very dissatisfied. But even so, the latter only frowned slightly and didn't show it.

"Who are you?" When the British and his party appeared at the door, Little Maoqi got up and asked.

"Admiral Wilson, Chief of Staff of the British Expeditionary Force."

"Are you sent by Marshal Haig, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, to discuss unconditional surrender?"

"Yes."

"Where are your credentials?"

Afterwards, a British officer sent up some documents, and after reading them, Xiao Moqi motioned for the other party to take a seat.

"We can hand over all heavy weapons, military supplies and most things related to combat, but we ask to keep the most basic medicines, food and consumables. And some weapons for self-defense." Admiral Wilson said.

"When your war is over, it is unnecessary to keep mission weapons. We will not take any actions to massacre innocent people. This is guaranteed by Crown Prince Ruprecht. And keeping weapons means hostility. This is our Unacceptable." Xiao Maoqi frowned and said.

"We are not targeting your army. We maintain certain armed forces just to ensure order within the army. I am worried that our officers may not be able to suppress the rioting soldiers under certain circumstances." Admiral Wilson said.

"The German military police will be responsible for this. I repeat, any British army must surrender their hot weapons before entering the prisoner-of-war camp. Officers' swords and scepters can be kept temporarily, but they must not be damaged. That's it. "Little Moqi's answer was unusually decisive.

"All weapons and equipment must not be damaged until handover, and if any damage is found, we will impose punishment! Officers will face prison, and ordinary soldiers will be subjected to hard labor. Until their deeds repay the loss of the empire, from the armistice From the moment the agreement is signed, all the materials and equipment owned by the British Expeditionary Force are already the property of the Empire! And now, all aircraft that try to fly to the mainland will also be resolutely stopped, unless your armistice agreement does not include the Royal Air Force of the British Army team," Admiral Kruger said.

"We will try our best to keep these weapons intact, but our logistics has been cut off for a long time, and the few supplies we get are not enough, so the maintenance of weapons and equipment is very poor, and some weapons have been disassembled for repairable equipment. Parts will be provided. All Air Force aircraft will no longer fly. The unconditional surrender agreement naturally includes the Air Force," General Wilson said.

"In addition, we have a request. If possible, I hope your army can provide some food and medicine. Our army rations are running low, and medicine is even scarcer. We must at least let these soldiers eat before surrendering Have enough food, bandage the wound?" General Wilson said.

"We can provide food for the hundreds of thousands of troops temporarily, but we don't have any extra medicines, so we can only do our best. Of course, the cost and loss of these things will ultimately be borne by your government." Xiao Maoqi said.

"There is no problem with this." General Wilson said.

"In addition, I need to explain one thing. Our army will not pursue some of the previous actions of the British army after the war, but it does not mean that other countries will not pursue it. Some British troops targeted civilians at the last moment of the war. violence,

We will cooperate with relevant countries. I hope that the British Expeditionary Force can cooperate by then. "Little Mao Qi said.

"Acts against civilians at the last moment of the war? If I'm not wrong, this should be proposed by the French? I really want to know when Germany and France, as enemies, began to pay attention to this matter? And targeting The person who is the former ally of France - the British Empire!" A kind of absurd thought welled up from the bottom of Admiral Wilson's heart. At this moment, no matter how well-trained he was, he couldn't hide Admiral Wilson's hideous and distorted expression.

In fact, from a rational point of view, it is normal for Germany and France to make such a move. Maybe the French high-level leaders are indeed guilty of betraying Britain at the last moment, but how much is guilt worth in international relations? Is there a use for it? ! For their own benefit, the British can sit back and watch Napoleon III, who once fought with them, be captured by the Germans. Now, for the sake of profit, in order to express their surrender to Germany and a clean break with Britain, it is normal to do this kind of thing ! If the French don't do something that will completely destroy the relationship between Britain and France, can the Germans spare the French? To put it more simply, this is the name certificate!

Moreover, it is indeed reasonable for the French to do so. Some of the British's final revenge actions did fall on French civilians. Now, it is normal for the French to have trouble with the British in this matter! But even though the deal behind Germany and France has been clarified in his heart, Admiral Wilson still can't let go.

"I would like to ask, in the eyes of your country, isn't France an enemy? They caused more casualties to your army than the combined Royal Navy, Army and Air Forces! You let the main culprit go, but you have to attack the accomplice! Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? ? Don’t your country’s military and government have any objections? I can assure you that those who propose this solution will be punished!” Admiral Wilson said angrily.

"This is not something you can consider. After ensuring the basic personal safety and basic rights of your country's army, it is the victor's disposal of the defeated. You can only cooperate." After Xiao Maoqi finished speaking, he handed over a copy of the German Army's draft The document was sent to Admiral Wilson, which detailed the surrender and disposal steps of the British Expeditionary Force. After all, there are still more than 400,000 British troops left, and the reception and placement of these troops is a waste of time and energy. So it has to be planned.

As for the documents submitted by the Germans, Admiral Wilson really couldn't do anything to refuse, so after a cursory look at the general content, Admiral Wilson signed his name at the end of the document, expressing his willingness obey!

The whole talk lasted about 3 hours. After the talk, the British representative was taken to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Subsequently, Admiral Wilson rejected the request of the Germans to stay overnight and decided to rush back at night. After all, as the chief of the British army's general staff, he was really not used to spending the night on German territory like a prisoner.

"A new era is about to begin." On the way back, Admiral Wilson said with a sigh.
