Chapter 1579: collapse of faith

  The news of Joseph's death spread throughout the world in the shortest possible time. Some people cheered for it, while others were saddened by it.

  The German people are undoubtedly happy to see Joseph die. After all, Russia is one of Germany's main enemies. When Russia declared war on Germany, it was the result of Joseph's insistence on going his own way. Now, Joseph committed suicide, no doubt the result of his own fault. The general public in Germany applauded this. Many German people even believe that this is one step closer to Germany's victory in the war.

   After all, Russia borders Germany, and to some extent it poses the greatest threat to Germany. Now that Joseph is dead, can Russia continue to hold on? This is obviously impossible. The German people are already expecting that the German army will completely win the final victory on the Russian battlefield. Once Germany has completely won the Russian battlefield, then Germany will be truly safe.

  Germany's many protectorates and servants were equally rejoicing. The German Navy first won the decisive battle with the German Navy in the Atlantic Ocean. Now a breakthrough has been made on the Russian battlefield. It can be said that the entire war situation is developing in favor of Germany. If this continues, it may not take long for Germany to win the final victory. This also made these protectorate and vassal states more determined to fight with Germany, making them willing to contribute more strength in the next battle.

  As for Russia's allies, their minds are completely different now. The United States on the other side of the ocean was terrified because of Joseph's death. There is even an anti-war trend among the people. After President Roosevelt learned of Joseph's suicide, he locked himself in the office and came out a day later. President Roosevelt knew very well that if they could not defeat Germany in the war, then Joseph's tragic ending would be his fate. He is also a very proud man. Once the battle situation reaches that stage, he will also not survive. At that time, ending one's own life with one's own hands may become the best choice.

  The emperor of the island country on the other side of the world even summoned the prime minister of the island country and asked whether the island country could win the war. Although the prime minister of the island country assured the emperor that they would definitely win. But all fools know that this is just perfunctory to the emperor of the island country. After Russia fell, the war would become even more favorable to Germany. I am afraid that soon, German reinforcements will be sent to Nanyang from Europe. At that time, it will be even more difficult for the army of the island country to open up the situation in Nanyang.

   It's just that the island country has no other way now, but can only go one way to the dark. The only thing they can do is to invest more troops to find a way to open up the situation before the German army massively increases its troops in Nanyang. At the same time, more materials collected from Nanyang were transported back to Germany to further expand their military strength and fight to the end. In this case, it may be able to persist for a longer time. However, there is still only one final result, and that is to be completely destroyed.

  Russia is undoubtedly the country most shocked by Joseph's death. Both the government agencies that were withdrawn to the east and the troops on the front line were greatly shaken. In Russia, even though Joseph killed many people, he was still deified. In the eyes of many Russians, Joseph even existed like God. Now, Joseph is dead, which immediately collapses their faith. Many people don't know what to do for a while.

  The remaining senior officials in Russia are even completely desperate. If Joseph is still there, they may still dare to continue to fight against the German invasion. But now, they no longer have such courage. Even, some people have proposed peace talks with Germany to end the war. After all, the current Russia can be regarded as having lost a complete defeat in this war.

  The Russian soldiers on the front line were even more confused. For them, the slogan of defending Russia against the German invasion was a bit too noble. Many people fought desperately with the German army on the front line. The main reason was to follow the orders of the great leader Joseph. Now that even Joseph is dead, whose orders are they going to obey?

   It is precisely because of this that the resistance will of the Russian army that sticks to Moscow and Josephgrad has been weakened a lot. Many Russian soldiers no longer want to fight from the bottom of their hearts. After all, in the eyes of these Russian soldiers, the Germans are too tough, and fighting the Germans means that there is a high possibility of death. Before, it was because of following Joseph's order that he had to fight the Germans desperately. But now, it seems to be completely useless. In the absence of pressure, those Russians are not fools, how could they risk their lives to fight? Nobody wants to die if they can live.

  This change in the Russian army made the German frontline generals keenly aware of it. The commanders of several army groups all reported to the Supreme Command, hoping to send someone to negotiate with the Russian army and get the Russian army to lay down their weapons and surrender.

  Qin Tian expressed his approval of the generals' suggestions. Although the German army commanded by Qin Tian had already killed a lot of people in this war. However, he is not a murderer from the bottom of his heart. The heroic and invincible German army defeated powerful enemies one after another, just to accomplish their own strategic goals. In many cases, it is not necessary to kill the enemy to complete the strategic goal. If the enemy is willing to surrender, he can also win the final victory.

  Russia is like this now. If the Russian army can lay down its arms and surrender to the German army, the German army will be able to occupy Moscow and Josephgrad without bloodshed. In this case, the casualties of the German army can also be controlled. If the Russian army fought to the end, the German army would pay a high price if they wanted to conquer Moscow and Josephgrad.

  So, if the Russian army can surrender, it is undoubtedly the best result for Germany.

   It is precisely because of this that Emperor Qin agreed with the front-line generals to send envoys to persuade the Russian troops entrenched in Moscow and Josephgrad to surrender. If the Russian army in these two places surrendered to the German army, then the other Russian armies would not be a cause for concern. At that time, they had no other choice but to surrender to the German army. If you continue to resist, there is only one way to be wiped out in the end.
