Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1196
[Chapter 1182 Prussia’s Choice]
“Surrender!” Felix II opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief.
The soldier was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
“Cowards, a group of cowards.” Ferreira II roared angrily, “You all should go to hell, you all should die.”
The soldier remained silent. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness. Perhaps in this monarch’s eyes, In his eyes, they are just a humble speck of dust.
Thinking of the brothers who died on the battlefield, he suddenly no longer feared the monarch in front of him, and said loudly: “You nobles are so high up, why have you ever cared about the lives of us soldiers? Why didn’t you nobles take your guns and go to the battlefield? Then you You will understand why we chose to surrender.”
Fei Lie II was shocked. He stared at the soldiers in front of him with wide eyes. He never thought that an ordinary soldier would collide with him.
After a brief moment of consternation, he shouted: “Who gave you such courage? How dare you offend your monarch.”
The soldier said: “Rather than return to the battlefield and be killed by that terrible weapon, I would rather die here. “
Fei Lie II sneered: “In that case, I will do as you wish.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an officer came to him on horseback.
After dismounting, the officer said in horror: “Your Majesty, something happened. We found a large number of Allied troops gathering in the town of Kara, a hundred miles away from Königsberg. Our defense line was really broken through, and I also saw a large number of troops. Tank.”
The officer’s words made the nobles of Königsberg panic.
At this time, their eyes were full of horror, and a noble shouted: “Your Majesty, don’t be stubborn anymore. Britain has been defeated, Spain and Portugal have also been defeated. The situation on the French battlefield is worse than ours. Now only we and Tsarist Russia are left.” , but Tsarist Russia will not be much better than us. There is no hope of victory. Surrender now. At least our people will not suffer anymore. Look at this poor soldier. He must be extremely afraid to offend you. If we continue If you persist foolishly, all the soldiers will oppose us like him, and by then we will die without a burial place.”
The nobles gathered in front of Fei Lie II nodded.
Now even a fool understands that the outcome of the war cannot be changed, and futile persistence will only cause the country to suffer heavy losses.
“Your Majesty, surrender.” Another noble said.
For him, the outcome of the war has been determined, and now he has to consider how to protect his vested interests in Prussia.
Therefore, under the objective fact that victory could not be achieved, he hoped to be a part of promoting surrender, so that he could use it to claim credit from the Allied Powers after the war and obtain practical benefits.
There are still many nobles who hold this idea, and cracks have appeared in the once united Prussian nobles.
Felix II felt a sense of sadness. He understood what these nobles were thinking.
People live for profit, and these people are now beginning to seek their own interests.
He believed that if he continued to persist, nobles would lead soldiers to mutiny and overthrow his rule.
By then, they will become the biggest beneficiaries, and he will become a prisoner.
With a sneer, Ferreira II suddenly patted the soldier on the shoulder and said: “Soldier, you are right. As a qualified monarch, I should pardon you. Believe me, you will not go to the battlefield again and return.” Go home, the war is over.”
The soldier looked in disbelief. He was stunned for a moment, then saluted to Fei Lie II, and finally he shouted and ran towards his home excitedly.
Watching the soldiers leave, Ferreira II turned around and looked at the nobles: “You are right, maybe we really should make a right choice now. The era of Europe is over, and now the world will look to the east. .”
The next day, Felix II officially announced Prussia’s surrender.
On the same day, Lu Fei led the Allied forces into Königsberg in a victorious manner.
In the ruins of the palace, the Prussian nobles led by Frederick II will formally sign a surrender document.
On the road leading to the palace, Lu Fei was riding in a military vehicle. Behind him was a long line of troop carriers. Allied soldiers stood neatly on the vehicles. Their expressions were solemn, their gazes were unswerving, and they were very solemn.
Behind the personnel carrier were tanks one after another. As the tanks advanced, rumbling sounds floated over Königsberg.
Prussians lined both sides of the street. They looked at the Allied troops silently. At this moment, they finally understood why the soldiers chose to surrender.
If it were them, they would do the same.
Obviously, the war weapons of the Allies have exceeded their imagination. Prussian soldiers holding percussion guns fought against the Allies just like natives holding wooden clubs fighting soldiers holding muskets.
Some people in the crowd also shed tears. They felt humiliated by the country’s defeat. Europe once stood on top of the world, but now they are defeated like the natives.
Others have different ideas. They have solemn expressions, but in their hearts they are full of longing for the Eastern Empire. What a magical country this would be. What would it be like to live there?
Perhaps this defeat was a national failure, but it was not necessarily a personal failure. For people pursuing freedom, there is nothing more exciting than discovering a country more civilized than Europe.
With one hand on the car window, Lu Fei looked at the Prussian people on both sides of the street with a relaxed expression. He saw the expressions of these people, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
On the Western European battlefield, only France is still resisting in vain. This protracted war is about to end. Through this war, the Empire will completely disintegrate Europe. From then on, the Empire will become the world’s unique hegemon, and the rules of the world will also be written by the Empire. .
With this in mind, the convoy arrived at the ruins of the palace. When he got off the car, Lu Fei saw a group of Prussian nobles in luxurious clothes waiting for him.
“Welcome, Commander Lu Fei.” Ferret II showed a stiff smile.
It was such a shame to declare defeat, but for the sake of rights, he could only do it.
Lu Fei smiled and said: “With the help of the empire, the Prussian army is pretty good, but a cat has learned the skills of a tiger and thinks it can defeat the tiger. This is ridiculous.”
Ferrie II There was a faint flash of anger in Shi’s eyes, being humiliated in front of so many nobles made him lose face.
But what else could he say? After all, in the eyes of the empire, Prussia was just a treacherous villain.
Noticing Fei Lie II’s expression, Lu Fei changed the topic. He looked at a table in the middle of the ruins: “Is this the place where we signed the surrender letter?”
Fei LiE II came back to his senses. Immediately said: “Yes, I will formally surrender to the empire here.”
Lu Fei nodded, and he said: “Then let’s hurry up, I still have a lot of things to do.”
Fei Lie II understood what , Prussia was defeated, but France and Tsarist Russia were still lingering, and the Allies still had a lot to do.
