Chapter 913 Judgment Day 7

"Can you save it?"

Faced with this question, Wolfgang curled his lips, shook his head in confusion, and said:

"I do not know."

"You don't know? Then why do you still do this?"

"Because it won't work the way you do it..."

"But you don't even have confidence, and you want to go against me?" Feng Palen's eyes gradually became cold.

Wolfgang did not refute. He lowered his eyes and said, "I really don't have confidence, but who has confidence now?"

"You may not know this yet, but Saski's army has been defeated by the Yan people. Greg is keeping his troops on hold, and the Yan army is on its way to Salivia."

Von Palen did not know the news, but he did not show any shock when he heard it.

But Wolfgang raised his head, looked directly at von Palen, and continued: "Tell me, what else can we do besides surrender?"

"Call on the people? Let them all go to the battlefield and fight to the death with the Yan people?"

Von Palen did not answer the question directly, but sneered: "So you think that surrender can save the country? Save the civilians?"

Wolfgang touched his face and laughed at himself: "I don't know if surrender can save the country, because our fate has been controlled by others."

"But I am sure that if we do not surrender and continue this war indefinitely, our country will perish."

"You once led our nation to rise, and created today's Delta Federation with your own hands. Can you watch it perish?"

Von Palen stared at Wolfgang's face, his expression becoming grim:

"Wolfgang, you have not only become naive, but you have also lost the spirit that a Goth should have."

"No matter what the situation is, you should never leave your fate to others. How can you be so naive as to believe that the enemy will show mercy to you?"

“Have you forgotten what you did in the past when we were oppressed by the Kosovo Empire?”

Wolfgang did not answer.

Von Paalen went on to say, “Have you forgotten what we did when we were stronger than the Kosovo Empire?”

Wolfgang's face gradually turned pale.

"This cruel world has proven countless times that the weak will only perish. This is the law, but you still dream of using surrender to survive."

"In the past, we were oppressed by the Kosovars. Fredri's choice was to give in again and again. Did the Kosovars give us room to survive? No, they even intensified their oppression."

"So we had no choice but to make another choice. We united the people, fostered their faith, and told them that they could not surrender. Only through struggle could we liberate our nation and have room for survival. Looking back today, this was the right choice."

"But this is far from enough. Who knows where the next Kosovo Empire will be? So we must continue to strengthen our military strength, fight, conquer, and push our country to the top of the world. In that case, no one can deprive us of our right to survive, right?"

Hearing this, Wolfgang shook his head and laughed bitterly: "It's a good wish, but the reality is not so good."

"Look at it now. If we hadn't launched the conquest of Yan Country, our country wouldn't be what it is now."

"Can you deny it?"

Von Palen: “I don’t deny it.”

"But you have to know that even if we don't consider Yan Kingdom as a target for conquest, they will bring their army to invade us one day in the future."

"That's hard to say." Wolfgang shook his head.

"Who knows? Even if there are only two people left in this world, there will still be a relationship of conqueror and conquered, and war will still happen between them."

Wolfgang: "You are too absolute."

Von Palen: "This is how the world works. You can't pretend you don't understand."

Wolfgang took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter anymore."

"The Yan people are about to come to Salivia with a large army. We have already lost this war. You already know that. Even the army no longer supports your approach."

"Surrender is our only option."

Von Palen looked at Wolfgang's pale face, and after a few seconds of silence, he said calmly:

"You could have surrendered, but I didn't."

"Go ahead, kill me, and surrender to the Yan people."

Wolfgang shook his head: "I don't want to kill you. We have never been enemies. It's just that I no longer agree with what you want to do. It is wrong and will cause many innocent people to lose their lives."

"I hope you can take the initiative to abdicate, and in front of all the people, tell them that we have been defeated and we must surrender."

Hearing this, von Palen actually laughed:

"When I decided to conquer Yan Country, who stood up to deny me? And who was not a participant?"

"And now, you want me to call on the people to be cowards? To make them willingly be oppressed by the Yan people in the future and be good slaves?"

Wolfgang's face was already pale, and his lips trembled as he said, "No, that's not the case."

Von Palen sneered, "Wolfgang, are you trying to save the country, or are you so shameless as to say such high-sounding words because you are afraid of the Yan people?"

"You have lost the spirit of the Golts. Do you want to make the whole nation like you?"

"You're a coward..."

Before he could finish his words, Wolf punched von Palen in the face with a "bang" without any warning.

"Yes! I am a coward! I dare not fight anymore, I am scared. The army of Yan country is too strong. I know our army can't beat them at all. You are right!"

"But so what? Just because I'm a coward, I don't deserve to live?!"

"Too many people have died in this war. They are husbands, fathers, sons, and their families. Do you want them to die on the battlefield like soldiers, or let them go home like cowards? You should ask those people what they think, instead of treating them as chess pieces from a high position. This is a war, not a game on a chessboard. The price of losing is countless lives!"

"Even today, when everyone knows that they are no longer able to fight, you still want to send tens of millions of people to the battlefield, let them shout 'Never Surrender', and then lose their lives! What's the difference between this and letting them die?" Wolfgang's face flushed red, and he roared angrily.

Von Palen, who was knocked to the ground by a punch, had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but he still looked at Wolfgang with cold eyes.

Wolfgang rushed forward, grabbed von Palen by the collar, and roared:

"You don't care at all! You always say that the world is cruel and unfair, and that the only way to survive is to fight, even if you die in the fight."

"But don't you know that it takes courage to accept death in the struggle, but it takes even more courage to live?!"

Von Paalen, whose collar was grabbed, turned pale and his hat fell to the ground. However, Wolfgang was still shouting at him:

"You dare not accept the reality of our defeat, so you want to drag everyone else down with you, making them use unyieldingness as an excuse and death as a way to escape, just like you."

"You are not afraid of death, but it's only because you don't have the courage to live!"

"Von Palen! You can laugh at me and at everyone who wants to surrender."

"But I must tell you that if we lose this war, we will have to pay the price. There is nothing wrong with surrendering. No matter how bad the future is, we have to accept it."

"Survival requires struggle, living requires courage, and you are the real coward!"
