Aohuate's face was sluggish, although he understood that he was defeated, but he didn't expect that he would lose so badly, and he couldn't imagine that Kaigula would think so far, yes, Kaigula is the winner, that's why he will think so far, so he said weakly: "Master, that's just Kaigula's idea, my subordinates won't surrender so easily." ”

The Pope smiled and decided to preserve the last bit of self-esteem for Ovat, saying: " Ovat, you don't have to be sad, if you lose, you will be defeated, and if you are defeated, it is not a big deal, you can do it again if you are defeated, but I, who am a master, don't want you to lose so much that you can never turn over, so if this war continues like this, then, as Kaigula said, everyone else can forgive, but you are just dead, you are an outstanding talent, you can die, but it is not worth dying in the civil war, therefore, the teacher is here. ”

Ovat's face turned red: "Master is here to persuade me to surrender." The Pope nodded and said, "Yes, Ovat, what can you do but surrender? Are you still capable of reorganizing an attack? Can your rear be stabilized? Your trade with the outside world has been largely blocked, and the supplies you need can only be produced on your own, but your rear is unstable, can you produce enough supplies to support the next war?" On the contrary, now Kaigula has four empires, and the situation of the Sun Empire and the Blazing Light Empire has stabilized, the people are very supportive of Kaigula, they have begun to put it into full production, within half a year, Kaigula will support enough materials to attack, are you ready? Everything has been clearly stated, you have no hope for this war to continue, since it is a desperate war, why should you let your subordinates still swear to follow you? Yes, I admit, you are also a commander who is supported by his subordinates, but it is not painful for your loyal subordinates to die for you in vain?"

The Pope sighed and said: "War is fought with military strength and comprehensive national strength, but the most important factor is the will of the people." I didn't understand this sentence before, although Han Wenzheng has said this many times, but I can't listen to it, and today, I finally understand this sentence. Yes, your military strength is indeed very strong, but there are a large number of troops to support you, a large number of nobles support you, a large number of officials support you, the five empires are still on your side, you do still have quite strong strength, but the strength will change, what you have is only the support of the nobles and officials, but you can't get the support of the common people, your support is only very superficial, but, in contrast, Kaigula has received real support. What is comprehensive national strength? It is the comprehensive strength of all the strengths of a country combined. Kaigula had only a few troops before the battle, but he relied on his powerful war machines to stop your attack, and that's how important his skills are. Without these powerful war machines, you have already won this war, modern war is no longer a battlefield that can be won by only one or two strong people, but a battlefield of countless war machinery, if you want to produce powerful war machinery, you must have a large number of technical talents, but, do you have it? The number of skilled artists in one Dawn Empire alone is ten times more than that of your five empires combined, and the number of factories in one Dawn Empire is three times more than the number of all your factories, and these are the factors that determine the outcome of a war. As for the hearts of the people, do you think the common people will support your nobles and officials? Kegula's emancipation proclamation has won the hearts and minds of all the people, and more enlightened political tactics have made you completely defeated in this battle for the hearts and minds of the people, and the people under your rule are rebelling, and even if they don't, they are only acting like they are producing. On the contrary, if you look at Kaigula, their people are working desperately, desperately accumulating supplies for Kaigula. Also, because of the will of the people, all your military secrets are transparent in Kaigula's eyes, and there is no secret at all, but can you get any secrets from Kaigula's rule? Not at all, all kinds of factors combined, Ovac, do you still think you have a chance?"

Aohuat's face was very heavy, and after a while, he said: "Master, I understand what you said, but I can't figure it out, why does Kaigula choose to surrender to the Yanhuang Clan, will you support him?" "It's very simple, the population of the Yanhuang Clan is not large, all he needs is our obedience, he doesn't want anything from us, because he doesn't need our supplies, his supplies are so large that he can pile up dead people, so why should we fight against them?" Opposing them will only be ruin for us, on the contrary, if we surrender to them, we can still spread the gospel of God, so why should we take the risk of being uprooted by the Yanhuang tribe to fight against the Yanhuang tribe? I also admit that surrendering to the Yanhuang tribe is indeed a very uncomfortable thing, but everyone has already fought at the doorstep, and our strength is not as good as others, so what can we do if we don't surrender? You think about it, we fought a war with the Yanhuang tribe several decades ago, and we lost hundreds of millions of troops, but what about the Yanhuang tribe? None of them died in battle, their strength is something we can't defeat, and since we can't defeat it, then what else can we cast if we don't surrender? Besides, now the Yanhuang people are very authoritative in the hearts of the people in the whole Western Continent, and the people's good impression of the Yanhuang people is higher than that of us, as far as the people's hearts are concerned, we are not comparable to the Yanhuang people, because the Yanhuang people have brought wealth and a peaceful life to the people, as well as dignity, and we have brought the people poverty of war over the years, so once the war starts, I am afraid that the people are on the side of the Yanhuang people and not on our side, so you understand. ”

Still didn't quite understand, but it didn't matter anymore, Owalt took a deep breath and said, "Master, do you mean to tell me to surrender Kaigula now?" You can still save you if you surrender as a division now, although some living crimes are inevitable, and you may suffer greater, but at least you can save your life, and you still have the opportunity to start all over again, but if this war continues to be fought, the consequences will not need me to say again, and when the time comes, even if there are more people to protect you, you will not be able to save it, including Kaigula, even if Kaigula wants to protect you, he will not be able to protect you. ”

Ovant laughed self-deprecatingly: "Will Kaigula protect me? Doesn't he want me to die?" The Pope said very seriously: "Although Kaigula has different political views from you, and there are many times when he targets you, but, Aohuat, you can tell me, does Kaigula have a personal grudge against you? On the contrary, I'm afraid that you still have a personal grudge against him because of Mei Hua's affairs, Aohua, I also hoped that you could walk with Mei Hua back then, but Mei Hua has been married to Kaigula for decades, what else can you not let go?" Is it because of this that you have lost your life? It's not worth it. ”

Rayris said: "Your Highness, although Kaigula is sometimes aimed at you, but there is indeed no personal grudge, we can see this, Kaigula's people have nothing to say, we all have to admit this, Your Highness, listen to Your Majesty's next advice, now we still have time to turn back, although Your Highness will be punished for this, but Your Majesty will definitely protect you." ”

Auvet didn't expect Rayis to say this, the Pope smiled and said: "Ovat, you don't have to blame Rayris, after all, Rainis is the Ten Gods of Light, he does everything for the temple, he follows you because he believes that you can bring the temple to glory, but now what you do can no longer bring the temple to glory, he will naturally choose a better path, of course, he will also be loyal to you, because you will be one of the candidates for the next pope." "Master, what is one of the candidates for the next pope?" "That's what Kaigula told me, and so far, only me and him know what to say, so you can't tell him." "The Pope began to pretend to be mysterious.

Ovatt said, "Master, you can say anything, no matter how difficult it is, I can accept it, I am no longer a child." "Well, before I came, I discussed with Kaigula about your punishment. Kegula thinks that you must be punished, and most of your officials will also be punished, but the severity of this punishment will be determined by your actions, and if you can surrender now, then this punishment will be reduced to the minimum, and conversely, if you persist any longer, then you will definitely die. "And what is the minimum punishment?"

The Pope said: "All the middle-level nobles and middle-level commanders of your army will be punished to a certain extent, and they may be imprisoned for three to five years, and the specific sentence will depend on the situation, but the longest will not exceed eight years, and after eight years, this group of people will be reactivated, although it cannot be said that they are reinstated, but they will also be used according to their talents." The big nobles and high-ranking officials may be in prison for a longer time, but the maximum will not exceed 20 years, and they may also be confiscated as a punishment, the specific situation depends on the person, after serving the sentence, the treatment is the same as that of the middle-level nobles, as for those small nobles and lower-level officers, basically will not be punished, of course, the middle nobles may suffer some property losses. As for yourself, you have to be mentally prepared that it may be thirty years waiting for you

The above sentences. ”

Ovant smiled bitterly and said, "It's really rare that Kaigula let me go so easily." "Indeed, just 30 years in prison is indeed a very light punishment. "Of course, you're a rare talent after all. Also, going to prison is not necessarily a bad thing, Kaigula has promised that when you are serving your sentence, he will arrange teachers for you, so that you can learn as much as possible, and when you end your sentence, if your grades are very good, you may be promoted by skipping the grade. "The Pope has once again thrown the carrot, and this kind of good thing is no longer to be found.

Ryris smiled bitterly and said: "If Kaigula makes this news public, I'm afraid that within three months, half of the people on our side will run to his side, this guy is indeed ruthless enough, and he won't see blood when he kills." "It's also a fact that if Kaigula announces this condition, I'm afraid that more than half of the nobles will turn to his arms.
