Chapter 61: Surrender

Rumors are such a thing, and the more you ban them, the faster they spread.

It is common to see two or several people in a small private corner, one person talking and a group of people listening.

The faces of those who spoke were full of envy, and those who listened nodded frequently and thoughtfully.

Being illiterate doesn't mean they're stupid, at least they know a truth.

You can't sit and eat for a long time!

Today, the French army could not even go to the seashore, let alone receive French aid.

Sooner or later, the grain in the granary will be eaten.

There are also people who take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to secretly run to the side of the Ming army.

The Ming army really gave it delicious, a kind of white flour stuffed with meat, which was very delicious.

Before leaving, one person will be given a pack of cigarettes to smoke.

The people who served them the plates were all brothers from the Foreign Legion.

These people drink a slightly bitter wine, but the more they drink, the better it tastes, and in the end they will be dizzy and delicious.

They are all brothers who escaped from the Foreign Legion, and they are all talking from the heart and lungs.

On the French side, two pieces of black bread a day.

When you get to other people's side, there is not only delicious food, but also cigarettes and alcohol.

The gap is so obvious that a fool can't feel it.

Once raw and twice cooked, eat twice and become friends.

Especially among blacks, that trust seems to be innate.

More and more people defected to the Ming army with guns, and then became new evangelists, persuading those who came below to learn from themselves.

The power of example is endless!

Countless soldiers of the Foreign Legion have taken up arms and rushed to a new life of freedom and beauty in their hearts.

This is reflected in the increasing number of tables, starting with three tables and five tables.

Later, simply spread a large piece of canvas on the beach.

Buns on large plates, crates of beer.

Occasionally, there are sausages and a side dish called spicy strips.

The soldiers of the Foreign Legion lit a bonfire on the beach, singing and dancing while eating and drinking.

Anyway, this is the territory of the Ming army, and no one will shell here.

In the end, many of the soldiers of the Foreign Legion drank too much and slept until dawn the next day.

There's no way around it, I'm going to be shot when I go back, so I just stay.

As far as surrender is concerned, the infantry has the upper hand.

Carrying a rifle, as soon as the weapons and ammunition were handed over, they asked where to eat.

It's a little harder for artillery!

However, there are also different types of artillery, and mortars are easier than other artillery.

A lot of people came running over with mortars, and the honest deputy shooter or something, he was still carrying shells.

The Ming army was very surprised by the sincerity of the soldiers of the Foreign Legion, and in their words, they were embarrassed to come and defect without carrying a few boxes of ammunition or something.

This is a group of good people with a bottom line, and the Ming army understands this group of Foreign Legion soldiers in this way.

But it turns out that the bottom line is meant to be broken.

On a stormy night, when a group of black soldiers drove Sharma and pulled several howitzers in front of the Ming army's position, the Ming army's sentry opened his mouth to fit two buns.

It's too sincere, it's too sincere.

However, the soldiers of the Foreign Legion decided that there was no such thing as the most sincere, only more sincere.

On the cart behind Sharma, boxes of shells were removed.

Not only the artillery was pulled, but even the shells had to be pulled.

This kind of good brother must be praised, who knows that just after the bun was carried out, these honest black brothers unloaded the car and wanted to leave.

The Ming army in charge of the reception was taken aback, surrendered with a gun, was caught and was about to be shot. This howitzer has been pulled out, and the corpse of the five horses must not be divided.

Call the tongue man to ask!

"There are still a lot of shells in the warehouse, all of them are pulled over!"

The Ming army was shocked, honest!

What a true black brother! I've seen sincerity, but I've never seen this kind of sincerity without a bottom line.

The honest black brothers continue to refresh the bottom line of Chen Laohu's letter of the monk.

A month later, the two men were surprised to find out. He already has a fully equipped army of 100,000 men, and he doesn't even lack ammunition.

The French officers also ran along!

There was no way, all the soldiers under his command ran out. If you go back like this and keep up with Shangfeng, it is estimated that you will be sent by Shangfeng to see God.

Simply, I also ran over.

Believing in God does not necessarily mean that you want to see God. At least, not now.

Until one day, in broad daylight, a whole regiment of men and horses loaded with live ammunition and drove over in square steps.

The Ming army was shocked, and the long guns and short cannons were aimed at these people to prepare for battle.

But these people carried guns on their shoulders and walked in unison in front of the two armies, and they had no intention of fighting at all.

Walking about 500 meters in front of the Ming army's position, they began to put away their weapons in an orderly manner.

After the weapons were all brushed and brushed, they sent someone to ask the Ming army.

"Where's the meal?"

Shang Zhixin and Chen Laohu were a little dumbfounded, the speed at which the overseas legions surrendered was much faster than they planned.

Even to the point that the logistics of the Ming army were a little unbearable.

Fortunately, a few boatloads of flour were transferred from Egypt!

In the matter of consuming food, the chefs of the Ming army played a role in fueling the fire.

There wasn't so much meat to make big meat buns for these captives, and the Ming army began to make white-flour steamed buns.

Fortunately, the black brothers don't pick their mouths, they think that the white and fat big white steamed buns are Daming bread.

The hot Daming bread was so popular that one King David even created the feat of eating twenty-three steamed buns in one meal.

After Chen Laohu heard about it, he met with Mr. Wang.

The historic meeting took place in a cordial and friendly atmosphere!

Warm greetings from both sides!

To Chen Laohu's surprise, this big stomach king was neither tall nor strong, nor was he the kind of dark-skinned black man.

It's an authentic Frenchman, looking at that height, it's definitely no more than 1.7 meters.

The thin appearance should not exceed one hundred and ten pounds.

But in front of Chen Laohu, twenty-two steamed buns were put in with a bowl of water.

After eating, he modestly said that he didn't play well and failed to break his record.

In the future, I will continue to work hard and climb the peak.

Deputy Commander Chen replied with a cordial greeting: "Why didn't you kid die!" ”

However, the chefs of the Ming army are already thinking of ways to reduce food consumption.

There is also kelp in the Mediterranean, but the French don't eat it these days.

Many Italians feed their pigs with kelp!

The craftsmanship of the Ming chef is not ordinary, and the things that feed the pigs are simply played.

Wash a lot of kelp and mix it cold, and put a little soybeans in it.

Served with steaming steamed buns and a delicious egg soup.

If you're an officer, you'll also get a bowl of boiled fish with special treatment.

This kind of nutritious meal preparation has feasted the officers and soldiers of the Foreign Legion.

They felt very new and satisfied with this way of eating in an exotic land.

The consumption rate of steamed bread is increasing day by day, and at the same time, this nutritious meal is too smooth.

Inside the tent by the sea, the sound of "poof" and "poof" is endless.

This situation has become more and more serious after the latest shipment of radishes.

It is often possible to see two people standing and talking. One of them suddenly frowned, his expression solemn and serious.

Then, you'll be able to hear loud sounds coming from the lower back of your body.

Then, it's time to hold your breath while covering your nose.

The beach was full of people, all of whom were makeshift tents provided by the Ming army.

However, the climate of the Mediterranean is very good, even in winter, it is not cold.

If this is in Russia, I believe it must be zombies everywhere.

The Ming army was a thriving scene, but the French army was different.

The headquarters in Ajaccio is filled with the smell of death!

The trees on both sides of the road were full of people who had been captured trying to escape.

Some people's corpses have decomposed, and countless flies have fallen on the corpses to lay countless fly eggs.

Many corpses have been crawled with maggots from white flowers, and maggots fall to the ground from time to time.

The fat, reddened maggots wriggled and wriggled, trying to climb back onto the corpse and feast on it.

Soon, however, the fat maggots will be spotted by the big black ants, who will then summon their companions and carry the fat maggots away.

The crows landed on the relatively fresh corpses and pecked at the flesh on the corpses.

Occasionally, maggots crawl onto the claws of birds and are shaken away impatiently by crows.

There is meat to eat, and they generally don't eat much of this white bug.

Haig stood in front of the second-floor window of the command post, watching the crows peck at the corpses of his subordinates.

The annoying smell of corpses makes people's brains hurt.

As a last resort, Haig lit a cigarette.

Take a deep breath and the tobacco glows bright red.

A cool melt into the lungs, temporarily driving away the stench of corpses.

"Commander, more than half of our men have fled. More than a hundred people are hanged every day!

The woods at the foot of Montestelo were already full of corpses.

It's all our men!

Commander, surrender!

At least give everyone a decent ending, otherwise ......! ”

"How else?"

Haig turned his head and looked at Johnny Depp with a sad face.

"Otherwise, the soldiers will mutinied.

They will kill us, or they will hand us over to the Ming army.

But I think we're all going to die anyway.

In the past month, we have issued too many death penalty orders. The soldiers hate us, and the officers hate us.

If we go out at night, there is a high chance that we will be shot black.

Even, our guards are losing loyalty. ”

Johnny Depp said cautiously.

"Have the Guards also reneged?" Haig's heart was a little cold.

Some of the people in the guard had been with him for ten years.

From money to merit, he asked himself if he had treated these people badly.

But at this point, even the guards have defected.

"John!

I also know that the only way to save this team now is to surrender.

But anyone can surrender, but I can't.

I have a wife and children, and I have many, many families in Paris.

If I surrender, none of them will survive.

Marshal Mula, my son has just been promoted to colonel.

You know what he's capable of, he couldn't even be a lieutenant, and now he's a colonel officer in the Wehrmacht.

John!

Your family is in Monaco and you don't have so many scruples.

Negotiate with the Ming people, you go.

Let Da Ming send someone to pick up your family from Monaco, they have the ability. ”

Haig finished speaking, and took a heavy drag on his cigarette.

The tobacco shone with a fiery red glow, and curling green smoke rose from the bright place.

"Commander, you ......!" Johnny Depp was very surprised, he didn't expect that the old old black grid would actually agree to him lead the army to surrender.

"Leave me alone, I know you've established a secret channel with Da Ming.

Go ahead and do it, there are still 100,000 brothers waiting for a way out. ”

Haig took another drag on his cigarette.

Johnny Depp had nothing to say, he didn't expect that his careful thinking had actually been understood by Haig.

According to military regulations, Haig could have shot him right now.

But Haig didn't!

Stand upright, salute!

He then exited Haig's office.

Haig stared at Johnny Depp as he walked out of the headquarters, smoking puff after puff.

A cigarette quickly burned to the ground, and he lit another one.

The cigarettes in his mouth were smoked one after the other, until there was no cigarette left. The whole office was filled with smoke, and those who didn't know thought it was on fire.

Finally, the last puff of cigarette was smoked.

Haig pressed the smoking butt into the pot and flicked the emerald green leaves.

"Communications Officer!" Haig picked up the phone and commanded inside.

"Commander!"

"Come to my office and run!" Without any extra nonsense, Haig put down the phone.

Soon, Will ran to Haig's office, tidied up, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of Haig's office.

"Come in!" Haig's voice was a little hoarse.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Will stood in a salute.

"Record!" Two words came out of Haig's mouth.

Power immediately spread out the communication clip and took out a pencil to prepare for the record.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Marshal Mula.

The Corsica troops are running out of ammunition and are gradually losing control.

The Ming army continued to press, and Corsica was expected to fall within three days.

I will keep my oath and resist to the best of my ability, vowing to live and die with Corsica.

Farewell to His Majesty the Emperor! Farewell to Marshal Mula!

Farewell, France!

French Lieutenant General Douglas. Haig, respectfully. ”

Haig took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "December 23, 3:50 p.m." ”

"Let's go!" The pencil in Will's hand fell to the ground, and he hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

"Repeat!" Haig's voice was not emotional.

Will hurriedly read what Haig had said, and then handed over the telegram clip.

Haig dipped his quill pen in the ink and signed his name.

"Send it out now, without delay.

Destroy the transcript and all documents, and then report to Deputy Commander Johnny Depp.

If he leads you to surrender......!

Blow up the radio! ”

Haig gave the final order!

Colonel Will held the telegram clip and stood still in a daze.

"Live well, Will!" Haig walked over and patted Colonel Will on the shoulder.

Tears flowed down the corners, and Colonel Will remained silent.

"Don't be like a, carry out orders." Haig stepped back from Colonel Will.

Attention!

Salute!

Colonel Will walked out of Haig's office with a telegram clip.

The door closed, and a dull sound of gunfire could be heard from inside the office.
