Chapter 695 has no choice
695 Hu Hao said that when he met those who came to negotiate, the main reason was that they had seen too many stinky children on the battlefield, and some of the children were simply skinny, no
The young warriors, seeing such children surrender, seized their weapons and did not shoot at them, and those children were squatting there,
In the back, when someone went to clean the battlefield, those children also helped, because the cleaning of the battlefield were some older people, and when they saw these children, they would also give them a bowl of rice to eat, so those children followed the troops who specialized in cleaning the battlefield, as long as they were given a bite to eat!
Soon, those three people arrived at the division headquarters, and Hu Hao was also able to see the situation at the division headquarters at the headquarters.
"I've seen the general!" The regiment commander who took the lead saw that the division commander was wearing the rank of major general, and immediately spoke. The young staff officer next to him was translating.
"What are you here for?" The division commander sat there, motioned to them, invited them to sit down, and then asked.
"We're here to surrender!" After the young staff officer translated, the regimental commander who took the lead spoke.
"Surrender? You know, our Dongling Kingdom and the coalition army are not dying, you have slaughtered so many of our people, do you think we will make you surrender? The division commander asked.
After the young staff officer translated, the three of them fell silent.
"We'll let you go back later, and we'll keep fighting!" When the division commander saw that they did not speak, he stood up and said.
"No, no, we're not fighting, we're not fighting!" When the young staff officer heard this, he spoke immediately, and then spoke to the two of them,
In fact, there are also people who speak Nan around the division commander, so what they say, the people behind the division commander know.
"Your Excellency, Honorable Division Commander, we really don't want to fight, our troops have just landed, and we haven't killed the people of Dongling Kingdom,
Of course, we are all soldiers, and the soldiers must obey orders, and the higher authorities want us to come here to fight, and we can only come, but our troops, who have not killed ordinary people, please agree to our surrender,
We don't have any requirements, just give us food, you can let us do whatever we want, Your Excellency the division commander, our army commander and division commander have all run away, leaving us here to continue to fight with you, but the soldiers don't want to fight!
Moreover, Your Excellency the division commander, many of our soldiers are not soldiers to fight, but to eat, in our country, ordinary people, many are likely to starve to death, there is no way, we can only come to be soldiers,
Please give them a way to live, we are ordinary people, we just want to survive! The regimental commander stood there and spoke, while the young staff officer next to him was translating.
"But we are enemies!" The division commander spoke.
"Yes, we are enemies, but we are not enemies, Your Excellency Division Commander, you can go to my troops and have a look, those soldiers, most of them are children in their teens and twenties, they don't know anything,
They just carry out the orders from above, we, the regimental commanders, you can, you can shoot us, or, or, we can solve our own problems, that is, please give them a way to live,
We know that if we don't come to surrender, at most 3 days, we will be completely annihilated, and it doesn't matter if we die, but, those soldiers, they are all children, they don't understand anything!
Just for a bite to eat, you're going to lose your life, so please agree, we beg you! The regimental commander continued.
"When you killed people, why didn't you say that they were children, they are soldiers now, they have guns in their hands, and they have killed our soldiers, why don't you say it?" The division commander stood there, staring at the regimental commander and asked.
"Yes, who made us soldiers! We can only carry out orders, and on the battlefield, if we don't shoot, we will be killed! The regimental commander said with his head bowed.
"Well, your commander ran away? Now you are thinking about surrendering, why didn't you come before? The division commander continued.
"Don't dare to come, our family is still over there, if we bring our own troops to surrender, our family may be killed!" The regimental commander spoke.
"Now that you are coming like this, are you not afraid that the people in your country will know?" The division commander continued to ask.
"We, we, we have no choice, we will solve ourselves ourselves, I just hope that you can give those children a way out, we, the regiment commanders, all agree to surrender, the battalion commanders below also agree, and the company commanders will have no problem,
Therefore, after a decision, we came over, and when the time comes, we officers, you can deal with it, and we can deal with it ourselves! The regimental commander spoke.
"Take me!" Hu Hao stood there at this time and said,
The division commander heard what Hu Hao said, was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned the notebook in front of his desk, Hu Hao had been watching before, and now the sappers here have connected Hu Hao's figure to the notebook in front of the division commander!
"I'm Hu Hao!" Hu Hao stood there and spoke, the three of them saw the person on the notebook, especially the young staff officer who heard that when Hu Hao said his own Hu Hao, he was very excited, and then immediately said to the two people beside him.
"Hello General!" At this time, the three of them stood there and saluted Hu Hao in the notebook, and Hu Hao returned a salute.
"You're going to surrender?" Hu Hao asked.
"Yes. General Hu, we want to surrender, we are not for ourselves, we can solve it by ourselves, but those soldiers below, they don't understand anything, they are soldiers just to eat! The older staff officer spoke.
"General Hu, please give our soldiers a way to live, we don't ask for anything, as long as we can let them eat and work, General Hu, in our country, even if they work now, they will not have enough to eat!" The head of the regiment said to Hu Hao with tears in his eyes.
"Well, how many?" Hu Hao sighed, looked at the head of the regiment and asked.
"I don't know how much it is now, we still have about 13,000 people, and this is still counted in the afternoon!" The regimental commander spoke.
"Can you be sure that your troops have not participated in the siege of our Dongling City City?" Hu Hao asked.
"Yes, our troops landed a month ago, and as soon as they came up, they came here, and then retreated to the city, fighting street battles with your troops, and the two armies that came back to replenish were also just landed, and they were not in Dongling Country before!" The regimental commander spoke.
"You just said that you have to solve your own problems, are you worried that your family will be persecuted in the country?" Hu Hao asked.
"Yes, there is no way, if the above knows that our officers have surrendered, then they will definitely hold us responsible, so we can only do this, but, General Hu, if you can agree to our surrender, we will be grateful to you even if we solve our own problems!" The regimental commander nodded.
"You want to die?" Hu Hao asked.
The men looked at each other and bowed their heads.
"Give them a pack of cigarettes!" Hu Hao opened his mouth and said!
"Ahh The division commander was stunned for a moment when he heard Hu Hao's words, but he quickly took out a cigarette and threw it to the regiment commander in front.
"Thank you!" The regiment commander took it, then took it apart and divided it to the other two people, and after ordering, the regiment commander said: "General Hu, no one wants to die, and no one even wants to fight this war, but there is no way, our southern region, last year's great drought, this year's harvest is about to be harvested, the big flood,
For 2 consecutive years, there has been no harvest in the main planting areas, and there was not enough grain before, and a large amount of grain has to be imported from your central region every year, but now there has been such a problem for 2 consecutive years.
In addition, not to mention the high cost of grain exported by you in the Central Region, there are still restrictions, and it is not enough for our people to eat, so I won't tell you, even our military commander's house is stewed and eaten with rice and sweet potatoes, and it is eaten like this every day, and the real white rice can be eaten when I fight you here.
I have been a soldier for so many years, and this year I fought a war, and for the first time, I ate pure white rice, and our soldiers, when they ate the first two meals, they didn't need any dishes, for us, white rice was the best thing in the world, the most precious thing,
My son is 10 years old this year and he has never eaten rice like this before! The head of the regiment said to Hu Hao with tears in his eyes.
"General Hu, it's not that we want to fight, if we don't fight, everyone will starve to death, food is the root, if we don't come to be soldiers, we will starve to death in the country, and the people who can immigrate to the Central Region are rich people, and most of us are ordinary people, so we can only be soldiers!" The old chief of staff next to him spoke.
"If I make you surrender, you'll settle yourselves?" Hu Hao stood there and said,
And the staff officers behind him were all silent, none of them thought that in the Central Region, the most ordinary white rice, when it came to the coalition army, was actually the most precious thing, some of them had grown so big, they hadn't eaten it yet, and before the war, every family in their homes would waste food every day, some directly fed pigs, and some were dumped in the trash!
"General Hu, we are dead, our family can survive, General, we are all men, who doesn't think about their own family? They will survive when we die, and if we do, they will die!
We don't have a choice, we're soldiers, and we're men! The head of the regiment looked at Hu Hao with a wry smile and said, he couldn't stop his tears!
