――――――――――――――――――
With the exception of the so-called Presidential Palace, the whole of London has gradually quieted down.
In the direction of the presidential palace, the soldiers of the government army seemed to want to continue to resist and had no intention of giving up. And General Endok, who was given "high hopes" by Fenton, also seems to be ready to dedicate himself.
If history is going to let its life end here, then let it all be quiet.
General Endok was well aware of his current situation, there were no reinforcements, no supplies, only the strength of two divisions, and there was no possibility of a miracle in such a situation.
However, the general clearly did not want to create any miracle here, he just wanted to do his duty to repay President Fenton for his trust in him.
However, poor General Endok did not know that he had been abandoned. President Fenton, to whom he had pledged allegiance, had quietly left the battlefield.
The sorrow of being a soldier is this, they can sacrifice, they can give everything they have, but often fate is the first to abandon them.
The Axis forces had no immediate intention of attacking the enemy's last bastion in London, the war was over for them, and there was no need to continue. They can wait, wait until they themselves are willing to get out of the trenches.
Perhaps General Endok's determination to resist was strong. But what about the others? Are others willing to follow General Endok in a fight to the death?
When it was completely dark, Fenton, Wilkins, and Capanon, the most senior officials of the British government, went away under the cover of a secret team organized by Colonel Pierce.
They didn't think about General Ndok and the soldiers who were still preparing for a bloody battle. The only thing they think about is themselves.
Truth be told, they have a way to get out of London, and there is more than one. They were ready before the decisive battle for London broke out. No one knew about it, and now, at last, it was time to start the plan.
Colonel Pierce, who was in charge of keeping them safe, was in extreme pain at this moment. He had always had great respect for General Endok, if necessary. He was willing to fight to the death with General Endok. However, he now had to obey President Fenton's orders and despicably abandon his comrades who were still fighting.
What is respect? Coward? No. I'm not even a coward, I'm just a poor worm who can't even control his fate and future, and can't even die.
Even if you do manage to escape London, what does it mean? Is it like a mouse to hide in Tibet all day long?
He didn't know what he was supposed to do. He didn't know what his future would hold.
"Nope. I can't go on like this. Colonel Pierce suddenly stopped and said firmly, "Yes, I can't go on like this." ”
"What's wrong, Colonel?" His adjutant, Major Bruce, was a little surprised.
"Bruce, do you think we still have hope?" Colonel Pierce asked, and then seemed to be there asking himself, "I will not allow this to happen again." I won't let my soldiers lose the honor of a soldier again! ”
Major Bruce fully understood what the colonel meant this time.
Yes, he was equally saddened. What kind of soldiers are they? They're just a bunch of cowards!
Major Bruce adjusted his breathing, "Colonel, I think you made the right decision. It seems to me that the war is long over. Our only mission is to wait for fate to judge us, not to continue to flee like this. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Colonel Pierce: "Please give orders, Colonel, whatever choice you make, we will always be on your side!" ”
Colonel Pierce smiled, and at this moment he felt extremely relaxed. Yes, he had never been so relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been completely lifted: "Order the troops to stop advancing!" ”
"Including the president?"
"Yes, including the president!" Colonel Pierce nodded solemnly: "At the same time, control all officials, including President Fenton!" ”
The abrupt halt of the procession angered President Fenton, who was now of the essence and that the enemy would catch up at any moment. When he angrily prepares to ask Colonel Pierce what happened, he suddenly realizes that he has been watched.
Then the high-ranking officials of these governments were brought before the soldiers.
Colonel Pierce looked at them, then his gaze fell on his men: "Officers, soldiers, did you hear anything?" Ah, maybe you didn't hear it, but I did, I heard that the war was over, and there were no more terrible guns and cannons...... I hear it, the bell of peace is ringing in our city......"
"What do you want to do, Colonel Pierce?" Fenton cried out in exasperation.
But Colonel Pierce simply ignored him: "As a soldier, our duty is over, I will not leave London, I will not continue to run." If a future military court finds me guilty, I am willing to accept it. At least I don't have to worry about it all day...... What about you? Soldiers? What was your decision? Continue to flee with them, or surrender with these people? ”
"Damn it, I'm going to shoot you!" Fenton thundered.
"Forget it, Mr. President, can't you see it now?" Wilkins smiled wryly: "We don't even have the strength to resist. Probably the goddess of fate played a joke on us. ”
"Colonel." A representative of the soldiers walked out: "We discussed, our home is here, parents, wives, children, everything we have is here. If we are to be convicted, we will at least know that our family is not far away. Colonel, do what you think is right, and all of us will be willing to follow you. ”
Colonel Pierce smiled, he hadn't laughed so happily in a long time......
He pointed to the senior officials, led by President Fenton, and said, "Arrest them, then." Ah, maybe I'm not qualified to use such a word right now, but I command you to arrest each and every one of them! ”
Fenton couldn't help but take a step back, but the soldiers surrounded them......
......
General Endok had been staring nervously ahead, and he didn't know why the enemy hadn't attacked yet, or why President Fenton hadn't delivered a new order until now.
At this time, a familiar figure appeared on the opposite side, holding a white flag in his hand, and walking very slowly. Endok took the binoculars, and was surprised to find that the man was Colonel Pierce.
Hell, how did Colonel Pierce come out of the enemy?
Colonel Pierce stood in front of the general, and Endok stared at him deadly: "Have you surrendered?" ”
"Yes, I surrendered."
"You traitor!"
"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me, General." Endok showed such calm: "It's not just me who surrendered, but the guards of the presidential palace all surrendered. Don't you find it strange? Why did I emerge from the enemy's side? I'm not the only one, now all the members of the Presidential Palace are there with the enemy. ”
A faint feeling of malaise surfaced in General Endok's mind......
Colonel Pierce looked at the general in front of him with pity: "Because just after President Fenton gave you an order, he also gave me a new order, and that is to let me cover their escape!" ”
"No, it can't be!" General Endok cried out, he didn't believe that such a thing could happen, President Fenton had already made up his mind to the death, otherwise, why would he still fight here in a hopeless situation?
"General, you can go into the presidential palace now and have a look." Colonel Pierce said pityingly, "You will find that it has long been empty there." On the way, I couldn't stand the condemnation of my conscience, I couldn't let this happen any longer, so I led my soldiers to arrest all the officers. Now they have become prisoners of the enemy. Do you think you're going to stick to it? ”
The faith in his heart collapsed violently, and General Endok felt like a clown. What is his life? Is it a tragedy? What is his faith? Is it a joke?
He pulled out his pistol in despair, but Colonel Pierce did not stop him: "General, you can choose to end your life with a bullet, that is not a relief." Of course, you have an even more painful choice, which is to take all the blame and go court-martialed with me, so that at least you can save your men. ”
General Endok looked at him in amazement, as if he had recognized Colonel Pierce for the first time.
He smiled suddenly, and then threw away the gun in his hand: "Colonel, you are a wise man, far wiser than me, and besides, you are still a far braver than me. Since you're ready, why can't I? ”
"At the very least, we'll be able to keep company together while we're in prison." Colonel Pierce said with a smile.
"But even as a prisoner of war, you have to follow the etiquette of an officer." General Endok burst out laughing, and all the feeling of depression and abandonment was swept away by the laughter: "Go and tell the Axis commanders that the last resistance in London has decided to lay down its arms!" ”
The last resistance in the city of London has also decided to give up its weapons!
On this day, the terrible war finally came to an end! (To be continued......)
