Chapter 852 The Fall of the Empire
"you?"

"you!"

Foster pointed at the crowd with trembling fingers. Although he had expected that the high-level military officers might be desperate and planned to give up the war, he did not expect that these people had already huddled together and directly threatened him.

See from the current situation.

Headed by the Minister of Security, about 2/3 of the people in the conference room huddled together to press him.

Of course, it doesn't mean that 1/3 of the people around him support him. At least half of the 1/3 people belong to the vacillating type, and the other half are on his side because they are the direct descendants of Foster. side.

But if the factor of direct lineage is discarded.

Then they can also understand that there is no hope for this war when the western countries no longer assist them and even plan to divide the empire's territory.

No one wants to fight a hopeless war.

Even Foster, who had just seen the document, felt desperate at this point, let alone other officers and soldiers.

In addition, the rumors are completely uncontrollable, and the collapse of the army is beyond their ability to intervene. At this time, the existence of the commander can no longer restrain the army, and the only way to survive is to follow this general trend and push the boat along.

Moreover, being captured in defeat is different from surrendering.

If you surrender directly before you are defeated, you are still valuable. With the attitude of the Jialan Empire towards the two navies, if you want to treat them, you will definitely not treat them badly.

Once defeated, captured.

So what awaits them is probably not delicious food and wine, but [-] kinds of torture.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Everyone here is not a fool. There is a glimmer of hope, but there is no hope, why bother to persevere.

But Foster's position did not allow him to surrender.

This opportunity for a decisive battle was won by the head of state, Eldir, who spared no effort to help him. If he directly declared his surrender to the enemy without firing an arrow or moving a soldier, how could he be worthy of it? What efforts has Erdir made so far?

"What if I don't agree?"

Foster's voice was not angry but mighty, trying to suppress discordant voices with his long-standing power.

But this time, he couldn't hold back anymore.

A lieutenant general stood up and said, "I'm very sorry, Commander-in-Chief, the officer suddenly remembered that there are still important tasks in the army. The commander of the Third Army, Zwei Hain, will not accompany me here."

"No.11 Corps Commander Curry will not accompany you."

"No.17 Legion Commander Will Corey will not accompany you."

"..."

After each person spoke, they left the conference room.

In a blink of an eye, the entire meeting room was two-thirds empty.

The remaining one-third of the people saw that Foster had lost control, and half of the vacillating people finally sighed, said goodbye to Foster, and left the meeting room with the two-thirds in front.

In the end, fewer than seven senior officers remained in the conference room, including Foster.

"Traitors! These traitors!"

A lieutenant general roared angrily: "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief. Even if I die in battle, I will never surrender to the enemy. Please order an attack. I am willing to fight to the death."

"Please Commander-in-Chief give the order."

Several direct-line generals sent requests to Foster one after another.

But what made them even more desperate was that with the departure of those senior officers, Foster himself had lost his last confidence and fell into endless despair.

He first glanced at a few people tiredly.

Then he stood up and patted one of the lieutenant generals on the shoulder: "Thank you for choosing to stand on my side, but as you can see, this time we really lost, and we lost completely. I have always They all thought that they had barely caught up with Vega Saint Laurent, but the other party defeated our millions of troops without sending a single soldier."

"Go, follow them to surrender."

Foster didn't dare to look into the eyes of the generals: "Take the important documents in my office and surrender to the Jialan Army. If you can't make it to the end, let those who stand by me, even those swaying traitors Not as good. I may not be able to guarantee anything else, but as long as you are worth enough, that brat will not treat you badly."

"Commander, please don't say such words!"

An officer said angrily: "Regardless of life or death, we are the generals of the empire. Instead of kneeling down and begging for mercy in humiliation, we choose to die with honor."

"No, you are wrong!"

Foster showed a bleak smile: "History is always written by the winners, and glory and dignity are never on the side of the losers. Your death ratio is not glory, only humiliation."

"Live it."

Foster turned around: "All the humiliation, it is enough for me to bear it alone."

"Take something and surrender!"

Foster angrily said with the last ounce of strength: "This is the last order I give you as the commander-in-chief. If you still regard me as your commander-in-chief, obey this order!"

"at last……"

Foster's voice suddenly became extremely weak: "Finally, please tell the Führer that I am ashamed of my trust in him... In addition, after I die, please cremate me immediately. I don't want my body to fall into the hands of the enemy."

Along with the voice, there was Foster's fallen body.

It was too late for everyone to stop it.

Foster raised the crossed long sword next to his seat, which symbolized the glory, power and status of the empire, and committed suicide in front of everyone.

Everyone opened their mouths wide, but couldn't utter a single word.

despair!
Silently saluted.

Everyone covered Foster's body with the Empire's black-bottomed red eagle flag and cremated it in front of the gate of the general headquarters.

As the red eagle flag on the black background was reduced to ashes, the menacing imperial army finally fell apart.

At noon three days later.

The generals of each army submitted the surrender letter to Vega Saint Laurent at the same time, and all the soldiers of the empire surrendered to the Jialan Kingdom, including the Aviation Corps, the Imperial Central Corps, and the Imperial High-level Armed Forces...

Not a single arrow was shot.

Not a single soldier was sent.

The Jialan Army defeated the Imperial Army with almost no losses.

With the defeat and surrender of the front-line imperial army, a chain reaction began to erupt. Rebellions and mutinies occurred in the Immortal City of the Empire, Langley City, the Air Force Base, and Rossoby City, the cradle of the army. The imperial regime was unable to maintain its rule.

Because he couldn't bear the successive blows.

The head of the empire, Eldir, had a relapse and died in the head of state.

With the death of the head of the empire, the empire finally collapsed completely. In less than seven days, the three cities in the central part opened their doors to Veigar one after another, and then all the cities in the northwest handed over surrender documents to Veigar at the same time.

The snow and ice in the deep winter began to melt gradually.

But the regime of the empire can no longer see this scene.
