Chapter 530: Talent (3000 votes plus update)

On the night of April 19, Versailles, the headquarters of the German army. It was rare for Qin Tian to take a break after finishing his day's work.

However, his rest did not last long before being interrupted. Major General Manstein walked into his office.

"Major General, what's the matter?" Qin Tian asked. Qin Tian knew that if there was nothing urgent, Major General Manstein would not disturb him at this time.

"Your Highness, the front line reported that they had captured an officer of the British Expeditionary Force. The other party claimed to be the adjutant of Admiral Allenby, commander of the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force. He had an urgent matter to discuss with us." Major General Manstein said.

"Adjutant General Allenby, commander of the 4th Army? What are they trying to do? Are they here to surrender?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Highness, according to my analysis, the British should also come for this purpose. It seems that the high-intensity attack for several days has made the British almost unable to hold on. For the sake of their own lives, they want to surrender. However, it’s no wonder, after all, this is the capital of the French, and it has nothing to do with the British. They don’t need to go all out for the capital of the French.” Major General Manstein said.

Qin Tian nodded: "Then let the British envoys come in. If the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force can surrender, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for us."

"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Manstein nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.

A few minutes later, Admiral Allenby's adjutant was brought into Qin Tian's office. Before entering, the guards had searched. Admiral Allenby's adjutant did not have any weapons on him. Even so, there were a few more guards in the office just in case. After all, Qin Tian's identity is the Crown Prince of the German Empire, so noble. If he was assassinated by the enemy, the consequences would undoubtedly be too serious for anyone to bear.

"Your Highness, good evening. I am General Allenby's adjutant, Major Edward." Major Edward took the initiative to salute Qin Tian, ​​speaking German in a very standard manner. This makes the conversation between them without translation at all.

"Major, please sit down. General Allenby sent you here, what's the matter?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Highness, General Allenby believes that the British and French allied forces have no chance of winning this battle. He doesn't want to continue the fight. After all, if the fight continues, it will just let the soldiers on both sides die in vain. said Major Edward.

Qin Tian nodded: "General Allenby can think like this, that is undoubtedly the best. Are you representing the troops of the British and French coalition forces in Paris, or just you?"

"Your Highness, what we can represent is only the 4th Army of the Expeditionary Force. We cannot represent the French." Major Edward said.

Qin Tian was not surprised by this. The fighting will and determination of the French were obviously stronger than that of the British. After all, this is their capital, and they cannot retreat. Seeing that the situation is not good, the British can surrender. But it may not be so easy to get the French to surrender.

"Major, does General Allenby have any conditions?" Qin Tian asked straight to the point.

"Your Highness, General Allenby hopes that you can promise to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the 4th Army of the Expeditionary Army, and to ensure the supply of food and medicine before the end of the war. The wounded soldiers will also receive Proper treatment cannot force prisoners of war to work. After the war is over, we will be released and returned to the UK." Major Edward said.

Qin Tian nodded, such a condition is not harsh. If the hundreds of thousands of British people continue to resist, even if the German army has strong firepower as support. But in the battle, there will be no small price to pay. Among other things, tens of thousands of casualties are inevitable. After the British surrendered, they saved tens of thousands of troops and saved the lives of tens of thousands of young men.

In addition, after the British surrendered, the entire south of Paris fell into the control of the German army. The German army can gather its forces and attack north of Paris. There are only more than 200,000 French troops, and it is almost impossible to resist the siege of the four German armies. In this case, the German army will be able to win quickly in the Battle of Paris.

"Major, please tell General Allenby that I agree to his terms. After the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force surrendered to us, I promise to guarantee the safety of your lives and property. Of course, those who the British army looted in Paris You cannot take cultural relics away. After the war is over, I will release you and allow you to return to England." Qin Tian said.

"Your Highness, I will tell General Allenby." Major Edward did not expect that Qin Tian would be so eloquent. Of course, this also means that the conditions of both parties have been reached. Then, there is no problem with the surrender of the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force to the Germans.

After Major Edward left happily, Qin Tian summoned General Crook, Commander of the 1st Army Corps, and General Dimlin, Commander of the 5th Army Corps, and informed them of the surrender of the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force.

Admiral Crook and Admiral Dimling were taken aback for a moment. They did not expect that the entire British army would surrender. However, this is obviously a good thing for the German army.

"Your Highness, this is a great thing! We should agree to their conditions." Admiral Crook said.

"Yes, Your Highness. After the British surrendered, only the French remained. In this case, we still have a few days at most before we can conquer Paris!" Admiral Dimlin also said excitedly.

Qin Tian nodded: "Since this is the case, then I will fully accept the conditions of the British. Everything is aimed at accepting the war as soon as possible."

Qin Tian was also very interested in Admiral Allenby, the commander of the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force. There is no doubt that this is a talent, a talent who can see the situation clearly. Especially after learning that the plan to force the German army to abandon the attack on Paris with heavy artillery and planes was also written by him, Qin Tian became even more optimistic about him.

In the future, after the German army lands in the British Isles and overthrows the British government, it is also necessary to consolidate its rule in the UK. This also means that Germany needs to support its own agents in the UK. Admiral Allenby, who voluntarily surrendered to Germany, is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate. Therefore, Qin Tian intends to take a good look at it next time, and if Admiral Allenby is willing to serve Germany, he will focus on supporting him in the future.
