Behind Xiao Moqi is an oil painting depicting the German army's attack. German tanks, infantry, and bombers in the sky rushed through the opponent's defense line, and the dead bodies of the British and Belgians fell on the defense line. This very ironic picture made Admiral Wilson very dissatisfied. But even so, the latter just frowned slightly and didn't show it.
"Who are you?" When the British group appeared at the door, Xiao Maoqi got up and asked.
"Admiral Wilson, Chief of Staff of the British Expeditionary Force."
"Are you dispatched by Marshal Haig, commander of the British Expeditionary Force, to discuss unconditional surrender?"
"Yes."
"Where are your credentials?"
Then, a British army officer sent some documents, and Xiao Maoqi looked at it and motioned to the opponent to take a seat.
"We can surrender all the heavy weapons, military supplies and most of the things related to combat, but we require the preservation of the most basic medicines, food and consumables. As well as some weapons for self-defense." Admiral Wilson said.
"Your war is over. It is not necessary to retain mission weapons. We will not do anything to massacre innocent people. This is guaranteed by Crown Prince Ruprecht. Retaining weapons means hostility. This is us. Unacceptable." Xiao Maoqi said with a frown.
"We are not targeting your army. We maintain a certain amount of armament just to ensure the internal order of the army. I am worried that our officers may not be able to suppress the rioting soldiers under certain circumstances." Admiral Wilson said.
"The German gendarmerie will be responsible for this. I repeat, any British army must surrender their hot weapons before entering the POW camp. The officer's sword and scepter can be temporarily retained, but not damaged. That's it. "Little Maoqi's answer was unusually decisive.
"All weapons and equipment must not be destroyed before the handover. If we find any acts of destruction, we will impose punishments! Officers will face jail, while ordinary soldiers will bear hard labor. Until their actions repay the loss of the empire, from the armistice. From the moment the agreement is signed, all materials and equipment owned by the British Expeditionary Force are already the property of the Empire! Now, all aircraft attempting to fly to the mainland will also be resolutely stopped, unless your armistice agreement does not include Royal Aviation of the British Army Team." Admiral Kruger said.
"We will try our best to ensure the integrity of these weapons, but our logistics has been cut off for a long time, and we have received a small amount of supply. Therefore, the maintenance of weapons and equipment is very poor. Some weapons have been disassembled for repairable equipment. Provide parts. All air force aircraft will no longer take off. The unconditional surrender agreement naturally includes the air force." General Wilson said.
"In addition, we have a request. If possible, I hope your army can provide some food and medicine. Our army has very little rations, and medicines are even scarce. We must at least let these soldiers eat before surrendering. Satiate, bandage the wound, right?" General Wilson said.
"We can temporarily help with food for hundreds of thousands of troops, but we have nothing to spare for medicines. We can only do our best. Of course, the cost and loss of these things will ultimately be borne by your government." Xiao Maoqi said.
"This is no problem," General Wilson said.
"In addition, I need to explain one thing. Our army will not pursue some of the actions of the British army before the end of the war, but it does not mean that other countries will not pursue it. Some British troops targeted civilians at the end of the war. We will cooperate with relevant countries to deal with the violent actions of the People’s Republic of China. Hopefully, the British Expeditionary Forces can cooperate with them at that time.” Xiao Maoqi said.
"The actions against civilians at the end of the war? If I'm not mistaken, this should have been proposed by the French? I would like to know, when did the enemy Germany and France begin to pay attention to this matter? People who are former French allies-the British Empire!" A ridiculous idea came out of Admiral Wilson's heart. At this time, no matter how well-trained you are, it can't hide Admiral Wilson's hideous and distorted expression.
In fact, from a rational point of view, it is normal for Germany and France to make such a move. Perhaps the top French leaders do have some guilt for betraying Britain at the last moment, but how much can guilt be worth in international relations? Is there a hairy use? ! For their own benefit, the British can sit back and watch Napoleon III, who once fought with them, be captured by the Germans. Now, for the sake of benefit, in order to express surrender to Germany and make a clean break with Britain, it is normal to do this kind of thing. ! If the French do not do something that completely destroys the relationship between Britain and France, can the Germans spare the French? In layman's terms, this is the name vote!
And the French did make sense to do so. Some of the British people's final retaliatory actions did fall on the French civilians. Now, it is normal for the French to have trouble with the British in this matter! But even though the deal behind Germany and France had been clarified in his mind, Admiral Wilson still couldn't let go.
"I want to ask, in the eyes of your country, isn't France an enemy? The casualties they have caused to your army are greater than that of the Royal Marines, Air Forces, and Air Forces together! You let the principal offenders go to the accomplices! Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Does your country’s army and government have no objections? I can guarantee that the person who proposed this solution will inevitably be liquidated!" Admiral Wilson said angrily.
"This is not something you can consider. After ensuring the basic personal safety and basic rights of your country's army, it is the victor's disposal of the defeated. You can only cooperate." Xiao Maoqi finished, and drafted a copy of the German army. The document was sent to Admiral Wilson, detailing the surrender of the British Expeditionary Force and the steps to deal with it. After all, there are still more than 400,000 British troops left. The reception and placement of these troops is a waste of time and energy. So it must be well planned.
Regarding the documents submitted by the Germans, Admiral Wilson really couldn’t make any refusal. Therefore, after a quick glance at the general content, Admiral Wilson signed his name at the end of the document, expressing his willingness. comply with!
The entire meeting took about 3 hours. After the meeting, the British representative was taken to the nearby restaurant for dinner. Subsequently, Admiral Wilson refused the Germans' request to stay overnight and decided to rush back to Starry Night. After all, as a British chief of staff, he was really not used to spending the night on German territory like a prisoner.
"A new era is about to begin." On the way back, Admiral Wilson sighed.
