Pauling's words naturally caused a strong shock to all the senior shogunate officials attending the meeting, especially the elites of the Army and Navy Department, who were even more surprised with big eyes.

Isn’t this an option to shrink troops and build a so-called Edo defense line?

In the huge conference hall, it was so quiet that it was scary, and then it was an uproar.

The screams of opposition, and the crying of beating the chest and stamping the feet, one after another.

There is no doubt that everyone at this moment pointed the finger at the Excellency General Consultant who once made them admire him. What do you mean?

However, after the time came, Pauling announced the end of this meeting with no result on behalf of Tokugawa Ishimaki. It was not until he and Tokugawa Ishimaki sat down face to face that Pauling finally showed his trump card - surrender!

Surrender? Tokugawa Ieshiro, who heard the words of these two words popped out from his general counsel, seemed to have been well prepared. Not only did he not show any signs of hysteria like in the past, but he was quite calm, as if he was listening to something that was not at all. His small eyes were half open and half closed, quietly waiting for the following text of his general counsel.

Tokugawa Ishimaki's unexpected performance made Paullin feel a little uncomfortable, and he even savored a little ridiculous feeling from Tokugawa Ishimaki's calm eyes.

"Well...this...this...ahhhh..."

Seeing his general counsel muttering in his throat for a long time, but never came up with a decent word. Tokugawa Ishiki finally asked casually, "Surrender? Will the North Koreans accept it?"

"Ahem...this...this is also the important thing to build the Edo defense circle as soon as possible."

Tokugawa Ishimatsu's question also made Paulin finally become alive again. He began to explain his surrender theory to Tokugawa Ishimatsu who was sitting firmly opposite him with his fingers.

Pauling told Tokugawa Ishimaki that Japan's final failure has become a general trend. In this case, it is absolutely difficult to use the current quite embarrassing force to go out to extinguish fires everywhere. Even if you can win a small victory in a certain direction, it will not change the overall trend at all.

And why did this tragic situation that was difficult to reverse occurred so early?

Pauling believes that the current situation is not as yelled by some people at the meeting, because the weapons and equipment of the North Korean army are far better than that of the Japanese army. It is precisely because many people from all over the Japanese have completely lost the noble Bushido spirit in front of the invaders.

It was precisely because of the complete spiritual collapse that the officials and people from all over the country were unable to conscientiously implement and implement his Baolin's strategy of defending the enemy and truly fight against the Koreans to death.

Speaking of this, Pauling couldn't help but sigh at Tokugawa Ishimatsu, and then he made it helpless to point out to Tokugawa Ishimatsu that there was such a large group of officials and civilians who usually shouted slogans but were always good at robbing others in times of crisis. If this war of resistance was not defeated, it would be simply inconsistent with the law of nature.

Similarly, for such a group of people who have completely lost their national integrity, if Tokugawa Ishima Shigeru still wants to make more efforts, he would be the biggest fool in the world.

Therefore, only surrender is the only correct choice at present.

Then, Pauline got back to the topic and talked about the issue that Tokugawa Ieshiro had mentioned before.

Regarding the question of whether the North Koreans are willing to accept the Japanese surrender, the answer given by Pauling is that the North Koreans will definitely be willing to accept it.

Because the main theme of his plan to quickly build the Edo defense circle was to force the North Koreans to do so.

Paulin analyzed for Tokugawa Ishimoto that since the Korean army chose to launch a full-scale invasion of Japan in the autumn season, the purpose they had originally established was to fight and decide quickly.

This is not only because the Korean army will never be willing to survive a harsh winter with constant wars, but more importantly, the Battle of Asahi must conform to the strategies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people standing behind them.

In other words, the real purpose of the Koreans invasion of Japan was not just to simply avenge Japan, but to stabilize their homes for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who had entered a full-scale war with the great Allies headed by the British Empire.

"I have to point out to General Tokugawa that those who not only appeared in the Tinqing Strait in time and helped the Korean Navy to destroy General Nunez's fleet, but also constantly attacked the ports on the east coast of your country under the banner of chasing and annihilation of our Spanish allies' fleet. Even one of your warships would not let go of the Taiping Heavenly Fleet, in fact, have sent you an extremely dangerous signal. If the Korean army's actions delayed longer, I dare to conclude that the Taiping Heavenly Fleet would immediately tear away their hypocritical faces and send the army directly to your Japanese island."

Seeing that Tokugawa Ishimaki's forehead, who had once looked like he was not concerned about himself, he was finally shocked by a layer of cold sweat in front of his Honglun. Baolin's heart burst into laughter.

In fact, since we learned that the Korean army had captured Hiroshima, we then obtained Fukuyama Castle without bloodshed. However, the Dojo Legion of the Fukuyama and Okayama vassals reversed the previous actions of Nagato and other vassals. We did not resolutely defend our territory to fight the war, nor did we turn our respective vassal cities into ruins. We would only flee one after another, from the day when Lord Paulin completely lost confidence in the Japanese brothers who were even harder than their fists.

When he heard that another North Korean army had successfully landed in Toyama Castle, His Excellency Pauline made a clear conclusion that Japan's complete collapse was almost in the evening.

Of course, Pauling also concluded that the sacred responsibilities that his British Empire had given him should be declared to be completed.

In order to put an end to his Japanese career, he only has one thing left:

How can I leave Japan as intact as possible?

But at this moment, the last attack launched by the Red Navy of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on the ports on the east coast of Japan completely cut off his retreat at sea. So, in desperation, Paulin had to take the idea of ​​surrendering.
