Chapter 2138 The Doomsday of the British Expeditionary Force 2

"What about Marshal Trenchard? He is the founder and head of the Royal Air Force, and we still need him now." Prime Minister Asquith said. In fact, withdrawing Marshal Trenchard from France was his original intention. Marshal Hager was only a secondary goal. After all, the battle may continue in the future, and the British needed a skilled commander.

"Martei Trenchard was injured, very seriously injured. Just yesterday, his command was attacked by the Luftwaffe air force. The Germans dropped a 1-ton bomb, almost completely destroying the entire command and underground bunker. His current situation is not suitable for evacuation." After a moment of silence, Marshal Heg said.

"This is really bad news," said Prime Minister Asquith.

"Do you have anything else?" Marshal Heg asked with a sigh.

"No more, may God bless you and your troops." Prime Minister Asquith said. Before he finished speaking, a hung up suddenly came from the opposite side. Marshal Hege was not willing to say for a second!

"Okay, gentlemen! Let's be quiet." Marshal Heg adjusted his mood and walked out of his office and came to the hall of the underground command post. At this time, the entire hall was extremely busy. The operator was connecting the telephone, the radio was sending and receiving telegrams, and the staff were marking the latest enemy and us on the sand table, while the generals next to him were fiercely arguing about something.

"Our war is over, we have done our best. I am proud and proud to be able to work with you!" Marshal Heg said with a little choking, his eyes full of tears.

"Marson, did we negotiate with the Germans?" an officer asked with some joy.

"Sorry, forgive me. Although I hope this is the result, the truth is that we can no longer retreat from the Dover Strait. Our navy was severely damaged. The German fleet and fleet controlled the entire strait."

"Brothers, we have done our best, and the Empire has done our best. We can already put down our weapons with glory." Before Marshal Heg finished speaking, the entire command hall was in an uproar!

"Why did they abandon us?"

"Where is our big fleet? What are they doing in Forth Bay?"

"Damn politicians, we bleed and sacrificed on the front line, they watched the show behind, and now we are thrown away by them! It's like throwing garbage!" Anger and insults echoed in the command hall, so much so that Marshal Heg had to ask the guards to come in to maintain order.

"Okay, now we need to consider the way out for our soldiers. I suggest I issue a ceasefire statement immediately, expressing our willingness to ceasefire. At least, both sides should stop exchanging fire. At the same time, we must also ensure that we have dignity to put down our weapons." Marshal Heg said.

"The Germans only accept unconditional avatars." said an officer.

"Let's talk about this issue, at least the two sides will have a ceasefire." Marshal Heg still couldn't let go of his glory as the Royal Army.

Half an hour later, a telegram sent through a clear code was sent to the German front command. After seeing it, Moltke greeted the generals from Prussian and Bavaria.

"Now, I can happily tell you good news. The British agreed to surrender. We have won the Western Front battlefield! Hundreds of thousands of British troops will enter our prisoner-of-war camp! The Imperial Army's martial arts will reach a new peak!" Little Moltke said enthusiastically.

"However, the British hope that they can still maintain their weapons. This is not a surrender, but more like a truce." General Caripot said after a glance at the telegram sent by the British. "Your Highness said that we only accept unconditional surrender."

"I support His Highness the Crown Prince's decision." Kruger made his attitude.

"Well..." Moltke was a little depressed. The one who could make General Kariput called His Highness was definitely not the prince of Prussia. Although Prince Ruprecht was far away in Wilhelmshaven, his influence could still determine the actions of the German army on the entire front.

"We cannot accept this condition! Since it is a surrender, the losers will hand over the weapons and all their belongings, and then let the winners make a decision. We will ensure their safety in humanitarian principles, but we will never give any mercy beyond the specifications! After all, a few minutes ago, we were still enemies, and many of our comrades died in this war." General Kariput said.

"Okay, I agree with your advice, but I think we must contact Crown Prince Ruprecht, and even if we surrender, we will hold a formal surrender ceremony. I think the participants and the ritual process need to be considered." Xiao Moltke said.

So after a brief discussion, Moltke sent a telegram to Marshal Heg, which reiterated the premise of the ceasefire to be unconditional surrender, and any conditional surrender is not accepted! The telegram from General Kariput to Ruprecht was asking about the specific surrender. After all, the British are exhausted now, and the so-called demand is just a face. The military affairs have been completed, and now the politicians need to enter. This surrender ceremony can be regarded as an affirmation of the German army's martial arts, and it is also another battlefield!

"The Germans asked us to surrender unconditionally." An hour later, a British officer sent a call from Moltke's little call to Marshal Heg.

"Haha." Marshal Heg was a little depressed, but there was no disappointment. After all, with the German personality, he would naturally not be able to speak well when he had an absolute advantage.

"In any case, we must ensure the personal safety of our soldiers. If we want to surrender, I hope that foreign and neutral observers can play a supervisory role." Marshal Heg said. In Marshal Heg's view, the Germans are also shameless. If there are neutral countries such as Switzerland, the Netherlands and Sweden as supervisors, will the Germans probably be a little afraid of doing things?

In fact, although there was no mass murder of prisoners of war on the Chinese and Western Front in World War I, there were also cases of killing individual prisoners of war. For example, both sides of the war had shot and killed the other party's captured machine gunners in history. Therefore, whether Germans or British or French, their machine gunners would tear off their machine gunner marks before being captured. Yes, you read that right, just marks! In case of being killed by the other party's anger. In addition, some soldiers in the battle may hide micro weapons such as single-shot pistols in first aid kits or clothes. If a person with this kind of action is found, he will be pulled out and shot or expanded.
