The meeting room of the royal capital was silent, and everyone stared blankly at Yue Runsheng, who was sitting in the throne of the Grand Marshal. Obviously, they did not expect that this "waste" who had been weak all his life would burst out with such power at the last moment.

I don’t know how long it was silent, but the lieutenant general who persuaded surrender stood up, wiped away his tears, and said coldly: “As the commander of a unit, I have the obligation to be responsible for the lives and safety of the soldiers. Now, for the judgment of the battlefield situation, I believe that the king has no strategic significance and decided to lead the troops to evacuate. If you want to persevere, I pay my highest respect.”

After the lieutenant general who persuaded surrender, he strode out of the conference room.

No matter how beautiful this sentence is, before receiving the order of the Grand Marshal, it is a defection. According to the law, you can be executed on the spot, but that is based on the fact that order is still there. Since Liu Fusu died, the so-called order no longer exists.

"Master Marshal, I should also be responsible for my troops and decided to evacuate immediately and pay tribute to you."

"So too, Grand Marshal, pay tribute, the empire will last forever."

“So we do.”

...

More and more generals ignored Yue Runsheng and left privately. In the end, only Lu Changqing and a few of Liu Fusu's confidant generals were still sitting.

During the whole process, these people did not stop the defecting generals because there was no need. People's hearts dispersed and they could not get back. Just watch them coldly.

After basically all the generals left, Yue Runsheng sat in his seat and shed tears silently. He glanced at Lu Changqing and others and said tremblingly: "Changqing, you can go too... I have seen your loyalty, but you don't have to wait for death with me here."

Lu Changqing looked into Yue Runsheng's eyes and said meaningfully: "You are the Grand Marshal. We cannot move until you issue the official Grand Marshal order."

Yue Runsheng rubbed his tears, held the seal of the Grand Marshal tremblingly, and said, "Okay, then I will issue the order of commander now, please withdraw immediately..."

Yue Runsheng was interrupted by Lu Changqing before he could speak: "As a general of the imperial world, I follow any orders issued by the Grand Marshal. But as an aide, I need to express my own opinions. I don't think you should issue a retreat order now."

Yue Runsheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Changqing at a loss.

Lu Changqing's voice was very official, as if he was still in a meeting: "The underground warehouse of the capital has extremely important strategic weapons - the Dragon Blade-level main battle tank. If the enemy breaks through the capital, these tanks will be sealed. Due to the special assembly, we have no time to call it out for use at present, but I think that troops should be sent to Jiangnan to assist the Jiangnan army in resisting the enemy's subsequent attack."

Back then, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, most of the human brain centers of the Dragon Blade-level main battle tanks were sent to the Judicial Council, but the tank body was still in the empire and in the royal capital.

Weapons cannot change a war that is doomed to fail, but it is the only hope in the darkness.

Yue Runsheng quickly reacted, looked at the remaining generals, and hurriedly said, "Then, I will issue the order of the Grand Marshal, and with Lieutenant General Lu Changqing as the command, please quickly mobilize the remaining troops to transport the Dragon Blade-level main battle tank, secretly leave the city, and escort it to Jiangnan!"

The generals stood up and saluted Yue Runsheng with a noble military salute: "Abide by the order!"

...

When the royal capital defense line was penetrated, Galahad's 1 million vanguard troops also suffered a lot, and many of them were in chaos. They needed a certain amount of time to reorganize and prepare to start siege after the rest.

Before that, the remaining guards in the royal capital had been mobilized by generals at all levels, evacuated from the rear city gate and fled to the south of the Yangtze River.

On the evacuation route, there is no need to pay attention to which unit belongs to. All the soldiers were mixed together, just looking for a quick evacuation.

A personnel carrier cart with more than a dozen soldiers sitting inside, and their morale looked very low.

A soldier with a scar on his face looked at everyone around him. Judging from his deep nasolabial folds, he was a very old soldier. He said silently: "I heard that the useless marshal refused to evacuate with everyone and wanted to live and die with the king."

Another soldier laughed in agreement: "I think it's just a good example. Do you believe it or not? Once the city is broken, this waste will definitely surrender."

The Scar soldier laughed, touched his arms, took out a wrinkled cigarette, and lit it and started smoking: "I think at that time, I can stand up to the public and not surrender, regardless of whether I kneel behind or not, at least my bones are hard and I have a sense of affair."

At this time, the personnel carrier suddenly stopped. The Scar soldier opened the window and asked the driver: "Why did he stop?"

The driver said with an irritable look: "A army was sent to the line and occupied our original route, saying that we wanted to transport important arms and let us take a detour."

The soldiers suddenly became dissatisfied.

"Grass, we'll come first, why should we jump into the line?"

"What the hell is the military, the lives of so many people are important?"

"Let's get out of the car and make trouble. Let's fight them and whoever loses will take a detour."

Just as the soldiers were complaining, the Scar veteran looked at the vehicle entering the team through the window. A gust of wind blew, and the cover cloth was kicked up, and the Scar veteran also saw the things inside clearly.

The Scar veteran sat back, with a mysterious light in his eyes and said, "They are transporting the Dragon Blade-class main battle tank."

Silent, dead silent.

After General Tian was sentenced to justice, under the "Eagle Destroy Order" issued by the capital, the Eagle Flag Army shall not be mentioned without permission, otherwise it will be handed over to the Gendarmerie for review. The Dragon Blade-level main battle tank is also in the scope of the Eagle Destroy Order.

A soldier looked at the Scar veteran and said meaningfully: "You know a lot? You can see the Dragon Blade at a glance."

Another soldier sneered and echoed: "That's right, which unit did you have before?"

After the Eagle Destruction Order, all the deep-rooted Eagle Flag soldiers were exiled to the desert for labor reform, that is, the 800,000 Eagle Flag rebels who died in Chang'an.

However, a large number of soldiers avoided labor reform due to their short enlistment time or other reasons, and were able to leave the army after political review, restore civilian status, or be incorporated into other troops.

The Eagle Flag Army was once a well-deserved imperial elite, but after the Eagle Destruction Order, their status fell to the bottom.

In the new army, if your comrades know that you used to serve the Eagle Flag Army, don’t say much, you will never think about doing your quilt. You will splash water in the air when you go to the toilet, deliberately knock your plate over when you eat, and others are punished to do a hundred push-ups, and you have to do a thousand. All kinds of political discrimination are waiting for you.

Therefore, for those re-engraved Eagle Flag soldiers, the first thing they need to learn is to hide their identities and never let others know that they were from the Eagle Flag Army before.
