Chapter 936

August 4, 1943 AD, Washington, outside the garrison headquarters.

A surrender ceremony was being held here. Groups of soldiers from the Eagle Kingdom lined up neatly, as if they were showing their heroism to the troops of the Third Reich in this way.

In other words, they want to maintain their final dignity in this way.

However, when they lost their fighting spirit and surrendered to the Third Reich. Their dignity has been completely lost.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Third Reich, they were simply a group of complete cowards and losers. In order to survive, they did not hesitate to give up their dignity and turn their backs on their country.

From the perspective of the soldiers of the Third Reich, this was absolutely impossible to accept. You know, the soldiers of the Third Reich regarded honor and national interests as more important than their own lives.

"Your Excellency, Commander, they are not a group of soldiers at all. It's just a bunch of jokes."General Herman Horton did not hide the disdain in his eyes.

"No, my chief of staff. We are winners, and winners should also have the demeanor of winners. They were afraid of death and wanted to save their lives, so they surrendered to us. We have already won, there is no need to pursue anything else. Give them a face!"Marshal Manstein said.

Indeed, the Eagle Army chose to surrender, which saved the Third Reich a lot of trouble.

If these guys choose to resist stubbornly, that would be the real trouble.

Now, the Eagle Army directly The surrender allowed the Third Reich to easily occupy Washington. Next, it was a massive attack westward, all the way to the Mississippi River. Prepare to continue to advance westward next year and completely destroy the Eagle Country. At the same time, we must also It’s time to deal with the cold winter.

Although the cold winter in the Eagle Country is not as cold as the winter in the Woolly Bear Alliance, it is still not to be underestimated. The Third Reich and its allies have a total of 17 million people on the North American continent. Need There are a lot of winter supplies to be prepared. If insufficient preparations result in large-scale non-combat attrition due to the cold, the consequences will be very serious.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the fighting will of the Eagle Country Army is not tenacious and can even be described as fragile. The next battle should be easy to fight!" said General Herman Horton.

"It's hard to say. Although we hope that the next battle will be easier to fight. No one can be sure until the final moment. However, judging from the intelligence currently obtained, the attitude of Franklin and others in power is still very firm. Although they fled Washington and fled to the West. But even so, they still want to fight on. This already explains the problem. If Franklin and others can be dealt with, perhaps the next battle will be easier to fight. Maybe the Eagle Sauce Congress will simply surrender."Marshal Manstein said.

General Herman Horton nodded:"Then maybe we can give it a try. Planes were dispatched for direct bombing, killing President Franklin and others. Doesn’t the Air Force already have stealth bombers? And the effect is very good in actual combat"

"Let’s talk about this later."Marshal Manstein replied.

Immediately, the surrender ceremony officially began.

General Hugh Drum, commander of the Eagle Country's Eastern Theater and commander of the Washington Garrison, represented the Army's troops stationed around Washington to pay tribute to the Third Reich. Surrender

"Your Excellency, Marshal, congratulations on winning this battle. We failed! Please accept our surrender!"General Hugh Drum lowered his head and handed over his gun.

Marshal Manstein accepted the surrender of the Eagle Army on behalf of the Third Reich.

"General, I accept your surrender on behalf of the Empire. From now on, the war has nothing to do with you. The safety of all your lives and property will be guaranteed. Of course, the prerequisite is to give up resistance and not engage in any actions hostile to the empire. When this war is over, you will be completely free!"Marshal Manstein said

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!"Admiral Hugh Drum nodded.

Although as a representative of surrender, it is undoubtedly a shame for him. However, being able to save himself and everyone else's lives, and ensuring the safety and interests of these people as much as possible, this This is already a very good result.

As for how the Yingjiang Kingdom will treat him after the surrender, or even how they will slander him and deal with him, this is beyond his control. He knows very well that if he continues to resist, That is simply asking for death. Maybe those who now advocate continuing to resist will not be able to survive at all. Naturally, it will be impossible to pursue him anymore.

Originally, the Eagle Sauce Country deployed a full two-person army in and around Washington. An army of 1.4 million.

However, at the time of surrender, the total strength of the Eagle Army was still as high as 2 million. Only one-sixth of those who actually died on the battlefield.

However, the remaining The troops had lost the courage to continue fighting. Therefore, they chose to surrender directly to the Third Reich. Otherwise, if they were willing to continue to hold on, the Third Reich and its servants would have to take down Washington. Paying greater casualties.

The surrender of the Yingjiang Kingdom’s defenders in Washington was also a very heavy blow to the entire other armies of the Yingjiang Kingdom.

Originally, many troops were still persisting in fighting to resist the Third Reich. invasion.

However, after learning that the defenders of Washington had surrendered and that Washington had fallen and was occupied by the Third Reich, they seemed to have been suddenly drained of energy and energy, and no longer had the courage to fight. This was natural This also caused the morale of the Yingjiang Kingdom's army to suffer a heavy blow.

Many troops surrendered to the Third Reich and its servants one after another.

As a result, the advancement of the Third Reich and its allies suddenly accelerated.

There will be no problem in advancing to the Mississippi River before the cold winter comes. Of course , there are also a large number of people who are gnashing their teeth in hatred for the surrender of Admiral Hugh Drum and others. They even want to kill them all. Hang him.

For example, President Franklin who just escaped from Washington and fled to Denver is undoubtedly one of them.

"Damn you, this traitor! The scum of the country and nation! It's no use that I trust him so much! However, he betrayed me and our country. He should go to hell!"Government Franklin roared angrily.
