Surrender.

This was something that Viga had expected.

In the dictionary of the backbone of the empire, the word surrender is never used.

Even if you don't have extraordinary talents, at least you have the determination to die.

Victory or death is the first lesson of the Imperial Army in systematic training, and it is also a crucial lesson.

This lesson taught every recruit that in any battle, even to the last soldier, the Imperial soldier would never be allowed to surrender.

Perhaps the cannon fodder units did not have such an education.

But it is impossible for Rons, Larba, and Zigrin as officers not to have been trained in boot camps, and the Empire has zero tolerance for surrender.

Out of the way.

Although the Empire will ransom prisoners of war, and the redeemed prisoners of war will not be executed, the redeemed prisoners of war will be directly expelled from the military, and together with their families, they will be branded as inferior citizens of the Empire, and no longer enjoy the most basic rights of ordinary citizens of the Empire.

Besides.

I am afraid that it will be difficult for prisoners of war to hold their heads up in this life, and together with their families, they will be discriminated against by the whole society, and it is not an exaggeration to say that life is worse than death and even affects family members.

Even so, the Empire was able to redeem a large number of prisoners of war every year.

Eighty-five percent of them come from cannon fodder troops, and when faced with the choice of death, many people do not consider their families, let alone have no sense of imperial honor, and they often choose to surrender directly.

Looking at the three officers of the 5th Battalion Rons, Vega finally understood what it meant by the "unqualified psychological quality" given by the personnel department of the brigade headquarters in the political review, the psychological quality of these three people is only suitable for going to the cannon fodder troops, if they are asked to command the backbone troops, they are afraid that they will lead their subordinates to surrender on their knees as soon as they encounter danger.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

There was another cough, and Du Swell said in a hoarse voice: "On behalf of the Royal Army, I accept your surrender, and I will also treat you as prisoners of war in accordance with international conventions." ”

This sentence made the people of the 5th battalion breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next sentence made them raise their hearts to their throats.

Du Swell continued: "Of course, this is on the basis that you all lay down your arms and surrender. The last petty officer and his men don't seem to have laid down their arms yet, so I can't accept surrender for the time being. ”

Crash.

All eyes were on Vega and his troops.

The commander of the 5th battalion, Rons, said in a low voice: "Second Lieutenant Vega, what are you waiting for, don't let your subordinates lay down their weapons quickly, even if you want to die here, please don't drag our 5th battalion into the water." ”

Vega tightened the short knife in his hand, he had never considered surrendering.

Once he surrenders, it means that everything he has now will be in vain, and the Empire will not allow a holder of the Wings of the Empire to surrender without permission, because the Wings of the Empire is one of the highest honors of the Empire, and no one dares to tarnish this honor.

If Vega surrenders.

Then even if the negotiations are concluded and the empire is redeemed, it will definitely be secretly executed in the end. Then he was crowned the Wings of the Empire by the Imperial Military Department, Second Lieutenant Vega was a martyr who would rather die than give in during the guerrilla mission, and fought the enemy and unfortunately died heroically.

If nothing else, a memorial service will be held for him.

Then the media of the empire trumpeted patriotism, calling on all soldiers to learn from the second lieutenant of Vega and to have the determination to die for the glory of the empire, even if they encountered several times the enemy.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

The second reason, of course, is that the Kingdom Army will not spare any professional.

The other party took such a lot of pains, not to get rid of the more than 500 ordinary soldiers, but to kill the three professionals of Vega, so the surrender of ordinary soldiers can naturally avoid one death, but the surrender of the three professionals of Vega is dead.

It is understood that this is understood.

Vega said to Du Swell, "In the dictionary of Imperial soldiers, there is no word for surrender. ”

"Command!"

"232 companies are all together, today is either victory or death. ”

Order.

The 232nd Company immediately formed a battle formation.

Maybe some of them will be afraid, and some of them won't want to die.

But for the sake of the empire, they were ready to sacrifice for a long time.

Because they were part of the backbone of the Empire, and the soldiers of the backbone of the Empire were never treated as prisoners of war.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Du Swell coughed: "It seems that we have failed in negotiations, in that case, then let's have a real battle, it has been a long time since I have witnessed a real war, please do not let me down." ”

Crash.

The spears of the Kingdom Army were pointed at the side of Vega, and the battle was about to break out.

"Wait, please wait. ”

The 5th battalion commander hurriedly stood up and said: "That little ghost doesn't count, I am the supreme commander here, and my announcement of surrender means that our army has surrendered, please don't misunderstand." ”

"Oh?"

Du Swell glanced at Ron and said, "It seems that your men are not prepared to obey your orders, I will give you 10 minutes, and if there are any people in your army standing and refusing to surrender, I will attack immediately." ”

It's going to kill each other.

As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see this third-rate divisive plan, but knowing that it is a plan works unexpectedly.

Because of the threat of death, the commander of the 5th battalion shouted directly at Vega: "Second Lieutenant Vega, as the supreme commander here, I now order you to immediately lay down your arms and kneel and surrender, please obey my orders." ”

"I refuse. ”

"Do you want to kill us all?"

This sentence aroused the anger of the entire 5th battalion, and everyone glared angrily at Vega, and the two company commanders of Larpa and Zigrin even stood up and took up arms under the threat of death: "Second Lieutenant Vega, it is the duty of a subordinate to obey the orders of the superiors, do you want to disobey the orders of the commander?"

Battalion Commander Ron walked up to Vega: "Ensign, obey the order!"

With the anger of the battalion commander, at this critical juncture of the volcanic brow, the soldiers of the 5th battalion also began to riot.

"It's this stalwarts bastard who wants to kill us. ”

"Brothers, kill the stalwart of these stalwarts and we will survive. ”

"No one wants to stop us from surrendering. ”

“......”

The soldiers of the 5th Battalion regained their weapons, and their morale soared, but the direction of the weapons was not directed at the United Kingdom Army, the enemy of the Empire, but at their friendly 232nd Company.

The enemy has not yet attacked, but the interior is already in disarray.

This dramatic scene made the commander of the Kingdom Army in this battle, Du Swell, smile knowingly.

Let the Imperial Army kill each other, he can harvest the heads of the three professions of the Imperial Army without spending a single soldier, and what he loses is only a few sentry towers, which is not a loss compared to trading no matter how you look at it.
