At 12 noon on the 22nd of the month, all the people in Charlemagne stopped working, and people either stopped in the streets, or sat at home, or gathered in the courtyard square, and everyone waited quietly without saying a word.

Since yesterday morning, the Knights of the Peace and the Neighborhood Mutual Aid Organization have been going door-to-door to inform them that the government will issue a major announcement at noon today, when every household has nothing to do and will stop to listen to the announcement of the fate of all people.

No one asked about the content of the announcement, and no one explained. Everyone could guess what they were going to hear, and they were prepared for it. For the edict of defeat and surrender, Charlemagne had a trace of bitterness and unwillingness in his heart, but except for a few people whose brains could not turn, everyone calmly accepted this fact. In any case, the war is coming to an end, and the heavy pressure that has been weighing on the head can finally be lifted.

That night, the whole of Charlemagne was boiling, the taverns, the brothels, the theaters—all the entertainment facilities were open all night, and the good wine and delicacies that had been stolen were taken out of all sorts of hideouts, and all Charlemagne, regardless of age, sex, or status, were partying in any way they could think of. On the streets, in the alleys, in the bars, in government offices...... Everywhere you look, you can see Charlemagne, who is drinking and laughing. The atmosphere was so hot, the emotions were so high, as if Charlemagne was the victor.

It's really not that the Charlemagne people are shameless or have an abnormal mentality, and since the war with Alfheim, the war has not brought Charlemagne people any good. As the royal army and navy went from one defeat to another, what people gained from the war was not hope and food, but daily fear, despair and hunger. The enemy was so powerful that every time Charlemagne showed a little glimmer of victory, they were able to return it with greater desperation, until Charlemagne gave up in this never-ending dark tunnel.

Now the pointy-eared ghost ...... Uh, the uncles got their wish. Charlemagne became a delicacy on the table of Alfheim and his allies, and no one could say anything about it, no one could refute it. Charlemagne is also aware of his fate, with a little self-abandonment and catharsis of stress, this night Charlemagne ignored the curfew like a child, lit up the lights and carnivaled. It wasn't until 10 a.m. the next morning that people walked out of their homes one after another, rubbing their heads, which were still swollen from hangovers, while greeting their neighbors, who were also covered in alcohol. After breakfast with alternative coffee, substitute ham and alternative bread, it was 12 noon with sadness and apprehension.

Since yesterday, the Wehrmacht has stopped dispersing those annoying interference particles, and after a day and night of emergency repairs, Charlemagne's wide-area communication network has been largely restored. In people's attention, the loudspeaker first emitted a burst of electric blindness, and then the muffled voice of a man approaching middle age was heard from the loudspeaker throughout Charlemagne's country.

"Lonely Depth, in view of the general trend of the world and the current situation of the kingdom......"

For the first time, all Charlemagne, except for Lüders, heard the unique pronunciation of the royal family, which had been specially trained since childhood, from high to low, and people subconsciously lowered their heads and listened with bated breath to the "jade sound broadcast" that echoed over the country.

"Lonely wants to take extraordinary measures to clean up the situation, and I hereby tell my subjects that the government of the Kingdom of Alfheim, the Kingdom of Albion, and the United Duchy of Rus' are willing to accept the Potsdam Proclamation.

In the former, the reason why the kingdom declared war was actually to seek world harmony and co-prosperity and coexistence, as if it excluded the sovereignty of other countries and violated the territory of other countries, which was not the original intention of the solitary state; however, the war has been read for a long time, although the army and navy generals are brave and good at fighting, hundreds of officials have made great efforts to govern the country, and all the people of the country have self-denial and public service, each doing their best, and the war situation is declining day by day, and the general situation of the world is not in favor of me. In addition, the enemy's recent use of cruel bombs, which have frequently killed innocent people, has caused unpredictable results, and if the war continues, it will not only lead to the extinction of our nation, but will also destroy the civilization of mankind. In this way, how can the orphan general save tens of millions of children, and thank the gods of the emperor's ancestors! This orphan is also the one who accepts the Potsdam proclamation of the royal government.

As for the livelihood of those who have been wounded in battle, suffered by war, and lost their homes, they are also deeply remembered; the suffering of the kingdom in the future is indeed unusual, and the loneliness is well aware of the heartfelt feelings of your subjects, but the trend of fortune is that it is unbearable and unbearable, and it is unbearable to endure it, thinking that it will be peaceful for eternity.

Lonely Yuzi was able to maintain the state system, believed in the sincerity of loyal subjects such as Er, and was always with your subjects. If the husband is provoked by love and causes trouble in vain, or if his compatriots exclude each other and disturb the situation, he will go astray and lose his righteousness in the world. It is advisable for the whole nation to be unanimous, and for future generations to pass it on to their descendants, and to be sure of the immortality of the kingdom. Remembering the heavy responsibility and the long way to go, devote all our efforts to the construction of the future, abide by morality, strengthen the will, and vow to carry forward the essence of the national system, so as not to fall behind the evolution of the world. ”

It was the first time that the Charlemagne royal family had broadcast to the nation, admitting that they had lost a war. For the first time since its founding, the country has tasted extinction.

After the Yuyin broadcast, the most excited about this, unsurprisingly, were the radical army soldiers. Some people raised their pistols to their temples outside the Palace of Versailles in their offices, in front of the army headquarters, and some officers who were unwilling to fail tried to launch a coup d'état to "condemn" all the courtiers around the crown prince who had "deceived His Highness", and set up a pure military government to continue the war, but these sporadic riots were quickly suppressed by their colleagues and the gendarmerie system. Still others retreat into the forest or the mountains with their weapons, where they are ready to resist until the last moment, to find their final home among the mountains.

Just when the funeral objects of the old era were looking for their burial places, the crown prince, who had ended the Yuyin broadcast, refused the support of his attendants, and his lonely back disappeared in the sight of awe and pity. Back in the basement bedroom, the prince, who seemed to have aged 20 years overnight, opened the desk drawer, took out a fine craft pistol, and shoved the muzzle of the pistol into his mouth......

Tens of millions of Charlemagnes did not know that their commander-in-chief had cut himself, and they seemed to have little interest in the performances of the soldiers. Everyone was exhausted by hunger and war, and the homeless Charlemagnes were no longer able to resist the ironclad armies of the Defences, and the resistance of the few was only temporary. Now they could only wait and see, like lost lambs, for the new master to decide their fate, for the elven speaking days that were about to begin.
