2139 Unconditional Surrender 1

However, this time, the British Expeditionary Force still has another problem, that is, in the violent actions against French civilians in the past few weeks, the British army used to vent their anger because of the betrayal of the French. Now, this has become the original sin of the British army. After all, whether the French betrayal or not, the civilians are innocent. From this perspective, those British officers who issued the order and those British officers and soldiers who executed the orders will be subject to sanctions. When people are the slaughter and I am the fish, this kind of thing is very likely to be expanded, and the British cannot say anything!

Judging from the current situation, the Germans did not want to bypass the British easily, and even Marshal Heg was not afraid to speculate with the greatest malicious intentions that the Germans are now eager for the British to surrender! If the Germans show mercy to the French, then it would be a bit like killing them all!

Later, Marshal Heg once again put forward his opinion, requiring the neutral party observer to surrender unconditionally, and at the same time ensure the personal safety and property of the surrendered British army!

This time the German answer was even more straightforward: the neutral party observer has not been present, and it will take a long time to arrive. So now the question is, before the neutral party observer arrives, do you surrender? Or will you continue to be stubborn to the end? Anyway, the Germans don’t care!

"Then surrender unconditionally!" Finally, with Marshal Heg's sigh, he signed his name on the unconditional surrender statement. God knows when the so-called Neutral Square Observation Group will be present, and God knows what this Neutral Square Observation Group can do under the pressure of the Germans! Now, Marshal Heg really doesn't want to play for another second!

So, later that day, Marshal Heg issued a telegram, expressing his willingness to surrender unconditionally, and the German side also expressed his willingness to accept it. Then, it was a ceremony of unconditional surrender. Of course, this was definitely not a formal ceremony of surrender. At most, it was an informal talks on the other side's second-level personnel who sent a surrender letter and negotiated related matters.

Therefore, Marshal Heg would not go to the German army in person. His chief of staff, General Wilson, will submit a letter of surrender to the German side instead. By the same token, Crown Prince Ruprecht would not be personally surrendered. On the one hand, it is because the crown prince has more important things to do not go to the Western Front, and on the other hand, it is because, in the future, other people in Germany will also attend the formal surrender ceremony!

At the beginning, in the Battle of Seed, the Germans were ecstatic about their first capture of a European monarch on the battlefield. This time, when the German army crushed the army of the most powerful empire in the world, this pleasure and excitement almost made everyone feel a little fluttering. Therefore, despite the tight time, the senior German army leaders present still used two days to arrange a fairly acceptable occasion for surrender!

At 16:00 on May 15, 1914, General Wilson, Chief of Staff of the British Army, and his entourage were escorted down by the guards provided by the German Army to the German Western Front Command.

"The Germans finally had the opportunity to boast about their martial arts again after half a century." Looking at the neatly arranged German armored vehicles and infantry on both sides of the passage, a British officer said. In the eyes of the Germans, this victory was more memorable than the original battle. Although Moltke and others were not the main masters, they still made some tricks in this situation, such as the "steel avenue" before the British convoy entered the German Front Command. More than 400 various vehicles and vehicles were unfolding on both sides, and the German gray painted in the sun shone with a terrifying light. This is the symbol of German iron and fire in the new era. It is them that raised the German Army and Germany's status to a new height!

Faced with such a singular act full of show-offs and demonstrations, the British naturally would not have any impression, but in the same way, they would not provoke their opponents. After all, if they still make inappropriate actions when they have become fish on the chopping board, that wouldn't it be a search for death?

"The Germans have reason to be proud. After all, they are winners, and winners should not be blamed." Admiral Wilson took a deep breath and said. "The glory of the empire needs to be maintained, but we must also adjust our mindset. After all, we are still hundreds of thousands of colleagues behind us." Admiral reminded his subordinates in a very obscure language.

"General, we are at the place." More than ten minutes later, the attendant in the front seat reminded. Then General Wilson and his entourage walked out of the car and came to the German Front Command.

They were greeted by two German officers wearing swords. After verifying the documents of the British delegation, they made a gesture to keep up. Then, the group walked into the yard of the command headquarters. Two rows of German army soldiers stood still. They were wearing German Legion gowns. From these dresses, they could see that they came from different places. The Prussian Legion personnel on the left should be the Bavarian Legion. (There are differences in the military uniforms between Prussia and Bavaria.) Behind the two rows of soldiers, flags or badges of all the German Empire states were erected, starting from the lowest princes, then the principality, and finally the kingdom. On the front of the house, the German Empire flag appeared at the top of the gate.

Five British soldiers were taken to the conference room. With the opening of the oak gate, General Wilson was able to witness all the German Army generals present, the first one was Moltke. After all, he was once the chief of staff of the German Army and now the representative of the German Emperor. In the absence of the real commander, Crown Prince Ruprecht, he could naturally sit in the main position.

On the left are important tasks of the Prussian officers' regiment, including General Kruger, General Helingen, General House, and Prince Albert. On the right are the Grand Duke of Württemberg Albrecht. The second seats are Count Kariput and Count Schmidt. On the left are the Prussian system, which is easy to say, but the right seats are still confused. Albrecht is a member of the royal family of the King of Württemberg, and after the beginning of the battle, he was the commander of the army. He fought on the Western Front for two years, and he worked hard and worked hard.

Credit, although Kariput, although he is an earl, may be promoted to duke after the war, and also represents the Bavarian Legion. But after all, he is essentially a foreign army. In order to express his respect for his colleagues who once fought on the Western Front and to give the Kingdom of Württemberg, Count Kariput sat in the second place. As compensation, the third is also a Bavarian Legion. The fourth on the right is an Austrian lieutenant general. After all, this time the Austrian Legion also appeared on the Western Front.
