"Are you here?" said Miss Sophie, who stood up from behind her desk, her face very haggard, her skin a little pale, her eyes with big bags under her eyes, and her overworked appearance, and her voice was much weaker than usual.

"I'm here to resign. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in a tuxedo, none other than Chopin, one of Berlin's protectors of the country, the "poet of music".

"Are you going back?" asked Miss Sophie again, as if she had not given up.

"Yes, as you know, this was a complete fiasco, and I can't talk about future cooperation with your country. And this time we have helped you, but the German side will be annoyed and angry, and attack us in Poland, and now Copernicus is alone in the country, and I am afraid that he will not be able to cope with it, so I must rush back as soon as possible. Chopin explained why.

"That's true, and I have no reason to stay with Your Excellency, but now that His Majesty the Emperor is recuperating from his illness, I wonder if Your Excellency can stay for a while longer, and then you can leave when Your Majesty is well from his illness. Miss Sophie's tone was sincere: "Although we failed this time and could not meet the terms of the original contract with your country, we will also try our best to compensate for it, whether it is in terms of all kinds of resources, materials, or money."

"No need!" Chopin interrupted Miss Sophie's tirade and said directly: "Actually, you also know that it doesn't make much difference for me to stay, it's just a matter of face." And although your country has suffered heavy losses this time, as far as your country's security is concerned, after all, there should be no problem with Lord Roland. After that, if you recover well for 10 or 8 years, you should be able to recover, and it will be useless for me to stay at this time, so I won't stay! As for the issue of compensation, you should discuss directly with our ambassador, and that's it. ”

With that, he strode without stopping, but then Miss Sophie's plea left the palace, and then rose to his feet and disappeared into the distant canopy.

It has been three days since the French army withdrew.

But it is not so much a withdrawal as it is better to say that they fled back, when a dozen or nearly 200,000 troops went out to fight, this time only more than 10,000 people fled back to China one after another. Under the pursuit of the German army and the three martial saint-level powerhouses, most of the French soldiers left their lives in foreign lands.

But fortunately, Chopin, the Polish "poet of music", did not renegade on the covenant, and did his best to escort His Majesty Napoleon and some high-ranking generals back to France, so that the final loss did not fall in an unpredictable direction.

And when he returned, perhaps because of the fatigue of the long journey or the excitement of the fiasco, His Majesty Napoleon fell ill and was now bedridden, unable to deal with political affairs, and the whole task of dealing with the mess was placed on the shoulders of Miss Sophie.

Miss Sophie and Archduke Louisa were on the Austrian side of the south bank at the time, but they were not pursued by the Germans, and finally made a detour to Switzerland, returned to China, and began to find a way to organize men to meet the scattered French soldiers. even finally asked the "First Paladin" Lord Roland to take action, and only then did he block the German pursuing army on the border.

But it was clear that it was easy to hold back the Germans, but it was difficult to deal with the mess.

It was not only the soldiers who died this time, but also a large number of nobles, and even high-ranking generals and high-ranking nobles, many of whom were still in high positions within the current French government.
