286. Handling of prisoners of war
"Do you want to live great, or do you want to die glorious? That's a problem! Ishtar didn't make any comments on this question.
At present, his eyes only have the burning of starships, the explosion and dismemberment of one after another, and he looks at the fireworks that have bloomed at the cost of countless lives with appreciative eyes: "This may be the most expensive and beautiful scene in the whole universe, right?" β
The rest of the Federation soldiers had to fight to the death, and in his opinion it was nothing more than a battle of trapped beasts for those who did not want to surrender. After all, he gave these federal soldiers a chance, and if they didn't cherish it, they couldn't blame anyone for not giving them a chance.
It's basically a one-sided slaughter, and there's no need to guess what the outcome is. Originally, Ista wanted to watch the battle, but unfortunately the adjutant came to him: "Yuan, Paulus is here with General Joseph of the Federation, do you want to see the other party?" β
Considering some political factors, and it was this General Joseph who brought him a big gift. Most of the remaining warships of the Federal Expeditionary Force, roughly calculated, are at least worth hundreds of billions!
Especially to know that the starship, this kind of high-tech equipment, can condense the essence of a civilization's science and technology, not to mention that this is the elite who has defended the core world of the Federation! The starships equipped are also very advanced. These are all things that are hard to buy even if you have money!
Therefore, there is nothing that cannot be done when two people meet together.
Ishtar nodded, and the adjutant led him into his office, where he met Joseph, who had already been brought here to wait, and the other generals who had "voluntarily surrendered" with him.
Because the two sides were opponents before, everyone should have figured out what the details are. Therefore, the self-introduction link is not skipped.
After making a military salute, he said straight to the point: "You have made a right decision, although you may never give you the best treatment, but at least I guarantee your safety, this is also my promise to Gerald!" β
Regarding this promise, in fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't keep it, anyway, he doesn't care about any reputation issues. It's just that now there are interests involved, and there is always something to consider.
Since Joseph and the others surrendered on their own initiative, and they had no way to return to the Federation, they could stay with a little peace of mind.
Of course, he still needs to ask more questions about this question: "Do you have any plans for the future?" β
Generally speaking, for ordinary Union soldiers, if they are captured, they are sent to prisoner of war camps for labor. But after all, these people are all generals, and their status is a little more special. Moreover, it is a situation of "voluntary surrender", and more than 100 advanced interstellar warships have been sent.
Giving certain preferential treatment is not a big deal.
Most of the generals were unable to give a direct answer to Ishtar's question, as they had only recently surrendered and the question of trust between them had not yet been established.
You must know that when Ishtar was about to fight Gerald, he threw Edmund, who had already taken refuge in him, to the Kanta Empire. And what about these people who have just surrendered?
However, here Joseph gave a thoughtful answer: "If I can, I want to be able to return to the field and enjoy life when all this is over!" β
Ishtar glanced at him and nodded in understanding at his answer, "Yes, I can believe that this is a very good future!" If I could, I would like to have that day too. β
Not everyone can afford such a thing as war. Because war will kill people, looking at their comrades-in-arms and looking at their brothers, they will die in front of their eyes one by one. This psychological blow is unimaginably profound!
In ancient times, there was a saying: One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither!
Not everyone, like Istta, has the help of the base, or is like him, born with the same mental qualities.
With the first one, the other Federation generals also began to say everything they thought, some also expressed their desire to go home, and some thought that since the Federation had issued a death order, if they couldn't go back, they would simply join the Son of Keha!
Most of them had any ideas, but Esta never said anything about them. After all, these talents have just surrendered, and it is impossible to really entrust them with important tasks all at once.
However, in order to stabilize these people, Isha still said: "For your resettlement work, I think I should first invite you to our planet Keha, so that you can see our new government. If you're really sure you want to stay, I'll be in for you! β
Sending these generals to Kehasing, saying that they were going to see their new government, was actually preparing to put them under house arrest. If they have no dissenting intentions and are genuinely willing to serve the Son of Keha, they will be entrusted with the task. After all, he is also a military general who has fought in wars, and he is always considered a talent.
Even if you don't want to join the Son of Keha, it doesn't matter. On the planet of Keha, which is the base camp of the son of Keha, will you still be afraid of these people and stir up any storms?
I don't know what these Federation generals will think, but all of them have wisely chosen to remain silent, because they are now prisoners, and if they make the other party unhappy or dissatisfied, they may have their lives in the future! These people are not stupid.
It's just that here, Joseph thought for a while, and said something stubbornly: "Lord Yuan, if you can, please allow me to collect the ashes of DΓΆnitz and others, and if I can in the future, I want to send them to their hometown." May I? β
It sounds, for Ishtar, nothing to lose. It's just that he still thinks that he wants to use these victories to suppress the federal government, so he inevitably thinks about it for a while.
But looking at Joseph's nervous appearance, he thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." After the war, I allow you to recover their ashes. But if we want to send them back to their hometown, I'm afraid the only time is when we call them! β
Because he agreed to their request, Ishtar and the Federation generals had a pleasant conversation afterwards. However, their subordinates may not escape the fate of being sent to prisoner of war camps to work as laborers.
Just after Ista had just sent off these Federation generals, the adjutant came to his side again and whispered in his ear: "Good news! β
