Chapter 191: Surrender

The recruitment and surrender of the British and French forces soon began, and a H-2 took off from the rear airfield and rushed to the battlefield. This bomber did not carry bombs this time, but a pile of newspapers, which were the main force to bring down the British and French forces.

Haig and Gammelin also walked out of the ground at this time, and the two of them had changed their appearance in the past two days. Embarrassment is inevitable, and more of the decadence that comes from the desperation of war. I think how high-spirited the two of them were at the beginning, and now it can be regarded as a late festival. The reputation and achievements accumulated in the First World War will also be completely denied because of this defeat. One can imagine how the country will accuse them at that time.

But none of that was the focus of the two of them right now, and they didn't have the heart to think about it right now.

"Commander, have you ever thought about surrendering?" Gan Molin looked around, and there was no one else around except the guards.

"Yes, it's just not that time yet." Haig wasn't going to hide anything, and it was not too much to say at this time.

"We all have similar ideas, it's very unusual for the Chinese army to stop attacking this time, and I guess they'll come up with something." After the heavy artillery was destroyed, Ganmalin saw that the only bargaining chip was gone, and it was absolutely impossible to hold on, and surrender was the only option. As for the so-called domestic orders, Gammelin simply ignored them. It is not a question of whether you are afraid of death or not, but whether it is necessary to persevere. Gan Molin knew early on that if the Chinese side had attacked with all its might from the beginning, perhaps the war would have ended long ago. Not to mention that there is not much strength left in the Anglo-French coalition now, that is to say, there is no question of whether the Chinese side can do it, but whether it wants to.

"Even if it......" Just as Haig was about to say something, a bomber flew into the sky in the distance, with a huge fuselage, and they could see it clearly from afar, not to mention the sound of the engine that followed. The bomber also flew very low, as if it was afraid that others would not see it.

Several guards next to him were about to cover the two of them into the underground bunker, but they were pushed away by the two. Haig and Gammelin are not fools, if the Chinese army continues to bomb here, they will not send only one plane, which is obviously the other side has other plans.

Sure enough, the plane only made a low-altitude dive and climbed up, and did not drop bombs. On the second dive, everyone on the ground could see the three open gates of the belly. The huge all-metal fuselage and the huge sound of swooping down all brought a deep shock to the people on the ground. Wehrmacht soldiers are used to it and don't feel much. But those British, French and Indian soldiers had never seen such a scene, and they had all hid in trenches or bunkers in the previous bombardments. This was the first time they had seen this weapon of war so closely, and its huge body looked very powerful, and this image was deeply imprinted in their hearts.

The bomber did not intend to continue playing, and a pile of newspapers slowly fell like scattered flowers, like snow in the cold winter.

Haig frowned, grabbing a newspaper that fell in front of him, and it was a front-page report.

200,000 British and French reinforcements died at the bottom of the sea.

The date in the newspaper is September 10, 1928, which is today.

There is also a detailed report below, which basically describes what happened in detail.

A feeling of extreme unease flashed in Haig's heart, and in the morning he had just announced on the battlefield that reinforcements had landed in Burma and would be arriving in the near future. Now China has come up with this, which is completely beyond Haig's expectations. It is obvious that China is going to completely break the military spirit of the coalition army, Haig knows that his troops are relying on the encouragement of reinforcements to hold on to the present, once this news spreads in the troops, then the British and French troops will only be greeted by the collapse of the military spirit, and there is even the possibility of a mutiny.

When Haig was about to give an order, he saw that the sky was full of newspapers like this, and he opened his mouth but said nothing. It's too late to say anything, and the more we stop it, the more it will exacerbate the situation.

Ganmerin's thoughts were similar to Haig's, and he wanted to stop the soldiers from picking up the newspaper, but he didn't say it. It's useless to say anything at this time, the last thing you want him to happen happens every time, and Gan Molin is also a little unhappy.

The surrounding guards and soldiers not far away saw the contents of the newspaper and looked at Haig and Gammelin. They all wanted an explanation, and if it was just a leaflet, they would also think that it was the Chinese army that was bluffing. But now this is not a leaflet, but a newspaper, or a newspaper of the world's major media. The chances of this kind of thing being faked are too small, and the Chinese army is not that necessary, for them victory is already close at hand, why bother doing these things.

When the British, French and Indian soldiers on the forward positions saw this newspaper, some simply sat down on the ground, some simply threw away their weapons, and the soldiers in the bunkers and bunkers also came out. At this time, even those officers did not stop them, they were the same as these ordinary soldiers, they were completely desperate at this time, they could endure hunger, but there was no hope, what was the use of them holding on?

There were still 20,000 or 30,000 men left in the Anglo-French army, and now all of them had come out, and countless weapons were still on the ground, and they didn't want to resist any longer. There was no need for someone to take the lead, and there was no need for too much propaganda from the Wehrmacht, the British, French, and Indian soldiers, who had reached the limit, silently made their choice.

"Alas!" Haig sighed, ignoring the guards around him, and slowly walked into the underground bunker where he had been. The guards tried to follow, but he stopped them.

Gan Molin was just about to say something to Haig in the back, and his hand was already ready to hold Haig, but the outstretched hand was finally withdrawn, and what he wanted to say was not said in the end.

After a long time, a gunshot was heard inside.

Gammelin understood Haig's thoughts, and this was his best option, and perhaps his best ending. It was a great shame for Haig to be taken prisoner by the commander of the Anglo-French forces, and it was no different for the British and French. Gammel is a little different from Haig, that is, Gammelin can endure the eyes of the world. In other words, thick-skinned.

―――――――――――― "Chairman, the Anglo-French forces surrendered. When Chen Shao had just stepped into the General Staff Headquarters, Jiang Baili, who had just stepped up, couldn't wait to say.

"Oh, have the yellow and white troops set off?" Chen Shao didn't fluctuate much about this answer, all of this was expected. If these British and French soldiers had been killed, this war would have ended long ago, and it would have dragged on until now. So Chen Shao was not surprised at all, whether he was completely annihilated or captured, this was normal.

"Departure, the troops have spread out with regiments as combat units. Are we going to make this news public, so that Britain and France can make up their minds more quickly? Jiang Baili's interest seems to be good, this war is another victory for the navy, land and air forces, or a victory, of course Jiang Baili is happy.

"Yes, the scale can also be slightly increased, so that the military department will hold a press conference in the name of the Ministry of Defense of the provisional government, so that it will look more formal. In the future, the military and the government will be separated, so that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not have to take care of everything. Chen Shao thought for a while.

"I see, I'll organize it right away." Jiang Baili nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter is not in a hurry." How is the Ministry of Defense and the headquarters of the three armed services in Peiping doing? Chen Shao stopped Jiang Baili, who wanted to turn around and leave.

"It's almost finished, I asked in the morning, and it's almost 10 days before I can start working." Jiang Baili replied.

Chen Shao chose Beiping as the future capital, which has a habit in his heart, and it is a good location for the base. Originally, Chen Shao planned to find a central point in China as the capital, but some things here are too limited, and they are also not conducive to trade, and many offshore facilities in the base are not easy to build. The most important point is security, with the base, it can completely cover North Korea, as far as Jeju Island, and even Shanghai is within 1,100 kilometers of the base. You can also see most of the territory of the Northeast here, and if there was a conflict with the Soviet Union in the future, the base could still play a role.

A large amount of sea area is covered by the base, and Chen Shao also plans to build Dalian, Lushun, Qingdao, Shanghai and other places into naval bases in the future, and will build a large number of shipyards, forming a huge arc with Fangchenggang in the South China Sea to defend China's maritime frontier. Moreover, waiting for the third upgrade of the base, it can also monitor many sea areas in Japan, especially North Korea and other places, which will completely fall under the control of the base.

"How is the construction of the Navy, Army and Air Force Branch of the Chinese Military Academy? What about the General Hospital in Beiping? Chen Shao asked again.

"The three branches are almost in the same place, and they can start recruiting students early next year, but all the facilities need to be added later. The General Institute of Beiping can also speed up the construction of infrastructure. ”

"There are some things that are not needed now, but the infrastructure must be built." Chen Shao is very attentive to these three academies, although there is already a Chinese Military Academy, but the Chinese Military Academy has limited capacity, and the Chinese Military Academy in Huashi Town will also become a branch in the future, and a larger military academy in Beiping is already breaking ground.

The Navy, Army and Air Force Academies are three independent academies, the Shijia Army Academy, the Dalian Naval Academy, and the Nanjing Air Force Academy. As the name of the academy suggests, the three academies recruit future commanders and fighters of the Navy, Army and Air Force.

For example, the Army Academy will be divided into some subjects such as armored command courses, infantry command courses, etc. The Naval Academy is also divided into a number of subjects such as aircraft carrier command courses and submarine command courses. The Air Force is a bit simpler, there are not so many subjects, there are only two types: tactical air force and strategic air force.

However, such academies with a small number of people, such as the Special Forces Academy, the Paratrooper Academy, the Marine Corps Academy, and the Department of Radar, Communications, and Electronics, are all directly established in the Chinese Military Academy.

And after Chen Shao officially founded the country, the names of these colleges will be preceded by a royal one: royal.
