At 5:30, a US military envoy with a white flag walked into the basement of the air defense tower as complex as a maze blindfolded, and seeing his arrival, Colonel Link suddenly laughed: "Joe...... You're here at the right time, and it's not good to be bombed outside, right? The warship is about to carry out the next round of shelling, and for the sake of your many visits to us, we will make an exception for you to hide here and go back when the shelling is over, so as not to be offended. ”

The surrounding officers and soldiers burst into laughter.

Joe has been in contact with the Germans many times on the mission of persuasion, and he has become very familiar with Link, he licked his lips with difficulty, and said in bitter words: "This, I am here to contact the matter of surrender." ”

"Surrender?" Link shook his head like a rattle, "I've said it many times, we're not going to surrender, we're going to hold out until the last bullet, you see, we've got plenty of ammo." He deliberately kicked the ammo box next to him, and a bunch of yellow bullets rolled out.

"I don't mean that, I mean, we want to surrender, I don't know if your country can accept it?"

"What?" Link and the others around them widened their eyes as if they had heard a fantasy, "What are you?" ”

"It's not me, it's our two divisions." Joe took out a power of attorney signed by MacDonald and Hull, and took out the conditions of surrender, "Can you let the warships stop the shelling first, so that we can die less?" ”

"I can't decide...... Oh......" said Link hurriedly, "I mean I can't decide on the surrender, but I can send a telegram to Berlin, and I will suggest that the Navy postpone the bombardment for two ......hours."

There is a two-hour time difference between Berlin and Cape Verde, and when Link's telegram was sent to the Supreme Command, it was already the beginning of the day, and Hoffmann was discussing the next direction of the battle at the High Command. Under Cunningham's desperate attack, the Harrier Eagle aircraft carrier was sunk, the Zeppelin aircraft carrier was slightly damaged but did not affect the operation, and the rest of the losses were not significant. Of the 91 British and American planes, less than 30 escaped the battlefield, and only 17 pilots were able to fly to their designated positions and be rescued in various ways.

Now there are two aircraft carriers left on both sides, but the US carrier-based aircraft only have more than 70 aircraft left after mobilizing all reserve aircraft, and the German carrier-based aircraft can still achieve the full strength of two aircraft carriers after the replenishment, Ozawa suggested that the fleet resist the pressure and continue to attack, and ordered the fleet to move in the southeast direction, trying to completely annihilate the opponent.

Another telegram was sent by Link, informing the remnants of the 3rd and 5th Divisions of the US Army that they intended to "surrender before the battle" on the island, and enumerated their conditions in detail.

"This can't be a delaying tactic by the enemy, is it? More than 10,000 remnants of 2 divisions surrendered to more than 1,000 people...... God, what the hell am I doing? ”

"The navy lost, they couldn't escape, trapped on Sal Island can only starve to death, bombarded by warships, it is better to surrender to our army, but the conditions are a little too much."

"Promise! You can promise them all! This is a milestone that is exemplary. In addition, are they sincere, just look at the news they reported, and the Navy sent destroyers to meet them? "Tsk......" Hoffman laughed, "I'm looking forward to the looks of Roosevelt and Marshall, it's going to be exciting, I'm going to call the doctor." ”

After listening to the concise and concise account of the incident on the phone, Goebbels immediately praised Hoffmann: "The Führer's wise strategy of dividing and disintegrating the American nation has achieved remarkable success, and it is a breakthrough for us to solve the Anglo-American problem, and I will make full use of this incident......

"Generals MacDonald and Hull, as well as officers of all ranks, I am deeply gratified to know of your sincerity in leading the uprising before the battle, and I hereby promise you, in my capacity as the head of the German Empire and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, as follows:

1. The officers and men (including the wounded) who actively responded to the uprising on Sal Island were all assigned to the 2nd SS American Division after the battle, plus the original 1st American Division, with two generals serving as division commanders, and the rest of the officers at all levels were retained in their original positions, and the wounded were treated by the Axis allies;

2. Officers and soldiers (including the wounded) who are unwilling to respond to the uprising will be temporarily detained by our army, and the captured personnel of our army will be exchanged from the US army in a ratio of 10:1 on a priority through the Portuguese authorities of neutral country, and we will give good treatment during the detention;

3. All American officers and soldiers who join the SS will be warmly welcomed and treated equally by our side, and we will fight side by side to overthrow the tyranny of the international capitalist oligarchy and the Jewish bloc, I cannot promise you the best material conditions, but I will guarantee that all German comrades-in-arms will never give up with you;

4. After the end of the war, all officers and men of the SS American divisions can live freely in Europe with their families, and I will arrange corresponding work according to your abilities and specialties, and those who are willing to continue to serve in the army can play an active role in the integrated European defense forces, and you can also live in German East and West Africa, and I will allocate land and other related assets according to your merits;

5. The two sides understand each other's combat experience and process during the Battle of Sal Island, and do not pursue each other's responsibility;

6. Promise that neither SS American division will be used in the war against the United States unless you voluntarily apply;

"In order to prevent leakage of information and other accidents, and to guard against fraud by the US military, the high command and navy must make proper arrangements, and in addition, the Americans will also assist them in handling the matters proposed." "I have a hunch that this battle will be a crucial turning point in this world war, and that the moment of final victory for the Empire may be sooner than I expected!" ”

"This was all achieved under the wise leadership of the Führer," Keitel boasted: "This was achieved under the wise leadership of the Führer, and since the Führer, the German people have overcome the darkness and confusion and stood up with their chests straight!" ”

After nightfall, the fleet also received the latest information from Berlin, and Machar and others were overjoyed, if the news was true, it was clearly a sign that the US forces could no longer fight, although everyone cautiously believed that this matter would continue to be verified and arranged, but the worries about the operation had disappeared, and a new plan was immediately formulated according to the requirements of the high command and the situation on the battlefield.

On Saar Island at night, the Germans did not shell Saar Island as promised, but for the American soldiers who were struggling to support themselves on the island, it was no less than hearing the roar of super artillery. Since MacDonald and Hull planned to take this road, and received Hoffman's personal assurance, they naturally had confidence, and they quickly organized their henchmen to connect and discuss, if they wanted to pull the troops out to carry out their plan, they couldn't do it without a group of people. In order to prevent accidents, the two also gathered a guard team of more than 100 people, and unexpectedly, when they announced the news that the two divisions were abandoned by the navy and forced to break out on their own to the officers above the major level, and explained their determination to take the road of "uprising before the battle", the meeting hall suddenly exploded, and before MacDonald fanned the flames, the reaction of the crowd was even more fierce than expected, erupting like a volcano:

"These sons of bitches! Lao Tzu is really blind, if he returns to Washington in the future, he promises to use Thomson to kill them all suddenly! ”

"! Fuck it! Lao Tzu's ancestors are also Germans! ”

"My ancestors are Hungarians!" f

"My ancestors are Italians!"

"My ancestors are Britons, but I can't stand this thing, I'll do it with you!"

There is no impermeable wall in the world, how the truth of the African campaign has already been spread, the most feared thing below is to be thrown away as an outcast by the superiors, coupled with the frustration that has not been able to attack for a long time and the news about the suspension on the spot and the news of meritorious service, the officers are even more depressed, the officers of a division have always been a group with both glory and loss, and the division commander and regiment commander at the top have been thrown away, and the battalion commander and company commander below can have a better life? Now that they heard that the two division commanders were determined to take a new path instead of such an order to send them to death, everyone knew at once what to do as long as their brains were not stupid.

There is no need for statistics, as long as you look at the frigates, freighters, and torpedo boats that are still in possession on several islands around Cape Verde, you can know that it is wishful thinking to carry away all these 10,000 people, because these light ships have suffered great losses in the continuous battles, not to mention, without a strong naval escort, these warships alone can run back to the United States? It's just whimsical! Most of the officers and men, especially the wounded, were inevitably taken prisoner on the island of Sal or were chased by the Germans in the process of escaping and died.

Cunningham and Turner's hidden intention was to make the officers and main cadres of the two divisions retreat, but MacDonald and Hull had lost confidence in the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Army top brass since the two orders were issued for dismissal on the spot and for meritorious service.

In the dark of night, the islands of Cape Verde were full of messy and noisy noises, and of course the German defenders in the bunkers heard them, and someone asked Link worriedly: "Sir, will they use the delaying tactic and then take the opportunity to escape?" Pre-battle uprising, how does this term sound very unreliable. ”

"If you escape, you will escape......," Link smiled bitterly, "The rest of the matter will be settled between the Navy and the Führer, with more than 1,000 of us, we still want to rush out and capture them, but we can't do it, hold our positions, and guard against surprise attacks." ”

In the middle of the night, the noisy American officers and soldiers boarded all kinds of ships, and most of them were stranded on the shore, motionless, watching all this coldly, this quietness made the heart of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas, who was in charge of answering the scene, straighten the hair, he was worried about the accident of the small number of people on board, and he was worried about the retreat scene, but he didn't expect that it was a different scene now, he couldn't help but be confused? When did the army become so disciplined, and is this still the American army, which has always been known for its laziness and freedom?
