Chapter 843
Empire, Immortal City.

The fall of Xierla City was a huge blow to the empire.

Among them, after Tiers led 40 troops to break through and delivered them to Eldir, he chose to commit suicide by taking poison directly because he couldn't bear the huge self-blame and pressure. To add insult to injury.

Morale was low among the army.

The whole country panicked.

The high-ranking military officers were also dismayed by the news of Jia's blue army. Some high-ranking officials have quietly sent their children to the West to prepare a way out for themselves.

in short.

From top to bottom, apart from Erdir and Foster Nolan, I am afraid that no one really thinks that this war can be won.

This is fatal to a country and an army.

What makes them even more desperate is that if they want to regain their morale, they can't do it all over again.

Because a message came out recently.

Weijia, Jialan Kingdom, knows how to use people well and treats surrendered troops well.

Two former imperial navy lieutenants made some insignificant contributions only because they surrendered to the Jialan country. A soldier named Qiwo was awarded the rank of brigadier general and served as the actual chief of staff of a brigade.

Another soldier named Kajia was also awarded the rank of brigadier general because of his bravery in fighting. He is now serving as the brigade commander of a brigade, mainly responsible for the security of the city of Xierla.

At the same time because of the surrender of the two.

The families of the two were preserved, and now they have become the well-deserved No. [-] and No. [-] families in the entire city of Xierla. As for the other families, of course, they were all wiped out, leaving no one behind.

This aroused the attention of the whole empire.

Some officers who no longer believed that the empire could win began to try to surrender to the Jialan Kingdom, especially those school officers and generals.Because the two lieutenants of the navy can get such generous treatment, as the middle and high-level officers of the army, wouldn't they be able to sit in a higher position than they are now once they surrender?

The fear of comparison is everything.

The army who despised the navy in their bones took it for granted that once they surrendered, they would definitely have a higher status than those two people.

Vega's move to promote Kaga and Qiwo, whether it was intentional or unintentional, directly planted a seed of surrender in the hearts of officers at all levels of the empire.

Don't underestimate this seed.

When people have no way out, they will unleash extremely terrifying fighting power, which is commonly known as the last stand.

Once there is a retreat.

Well, except for some diehards, I am afraid that most people will want to live.

Therefore, the current empire has reached the brink of collapse.

Eldir and Foster have already realized this, and they really want to change the status quo, but unfortunately no matter whether it is convening a swearing-in meeting or organizing ideological work, the atmosphere cannot be reversed.

"Your Excellency, what should I do?"

In the head of state's office, Eldir asked Foster listlessly.

Only after becoming the head of state did Eldir know what kind of pressure the position of head of state bears.

Especially after the three powers system was overthrown by him, there is no one to discuss it at this stage. Is the system of the three powers summit really more efficient than the Yiyantang?This made Eldir begin to doubt whether the decision he made was correct.

That's right.

When the war came here, even the head of a country began to gradually lose his composure.

"My lord, please calm down."

Foster sighed and said: "I think the most important thing you should do now is to get a good night's sleep and take care of your body. If even you fall ill at this time, the empire will really be over."

"How do I go to sleep at a time like this?"

Eldir's eyes were sunken, and he replied out of breath.

"My lord, please forgive me."

Foster Nuolan said a little angrily: "Now you are the pillar of the whole country. As long as you grit your teeth and persevere, the soldiers of the three armies will unite together. If you give up even yourself, the three armies will directly collapse in the next moment. I am afraid that there is no need to fight in the next battle, why not just surrender? It will also avoid additional casualties of civilians and soldiers."

"surrender……"

Eldir's voice was very long.

boom!
Hitting the table with a fist, Eldir gritted his teeth and said, "For 8000 years, the empire has been pushed to the brink of life and death again and again, and it has been slowed down. Vega Saint Laurent, a little traitor to the empire, don't want to let him go!" Our ten-thousand-year foundation was destroyed.”

"Your Majesty."

Eldir launched a ruthless: "I will set up a temporary Ministry of National Security and put it in charge of your Excellency the General. Any existence that disrupts the morale of the army, no matter where they are, will be executed directly by me. At this time, I will absolutely not allow our side Since the chaos, even if the high-pressure policy is used, the general's mind must be stabilized. Especially those officers who are preparing for the retreat, no one will be let go."

"The head of state is wise."

Foster agreed.

Extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary times. When soft means are not enough to unite the entire army, then only high-pressure policies can be used to control the army.Although this kind of high pressure will erupt sooner or later, as long as the ice and snow in the Jialan Mountains melt, everything will be hopeful. At that time, he and the head of state will take the blame and resign to thank the world.

"I leave everything to the general."

Eldir said weakly: "I'm going to go down to rest now. The next two months will be the time to decide our fate. Whether we succeed or fail depends on this time."

"Please rest assured, Head of State..."

Foster saluted and promised, but just halfway through the words, the Minister of Intelligence suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"My lord, something is wrong."

There was no blood on the face of the Minister of Intelligence: "Vega Saint Laurent of the Jialan Army publicly sent a letter asking us to surrender, otherwise he will not rule out the use of war species, and use the magic 'disaster' of the gods to wipe out our imperial capital."

"They want to massacre the city?!"

Erdir's face changed drastically.

But for a moment he suddenly thought of something: "No! It's not right at all! In this extraordinary period, especially when the Western countries are going to invade the East in the coming year, it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a heartless thing. Standing on the opposite side of the common people. This must be an offensive of public opinion, and he wants to completely destroy the hearts of our people and the military."

"quick!"

Eldir pointed to the door and said: "Control the source of the news immediately, and absolutely not let this news spread in the city, otherwise everything will be over, and the enemy will not be able to break through our defenses. This is preparing to use psychological warfare against us." .”

"Yuan, Mr. Führer, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's too late."

The Minister of Intelligence broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and said, "This news has spread across the city, and some civilians even demanded the government surrender immediately. I came here to ask you, do you order forcible suppression?"

"It's over, it's over."

Eldir muttered a few words to himself, then his eyes blurred, and he fainted.
