Lighthouse Country, Washington, White Palace.
Franklin, the Grand Commander of Lighthouse Country, is discussing the current situation with the cabinet and military leaders. However, the current war situation has deteriorated to the extreme for Lighthouse Country. This makes it almost impossible for Lighthouse Country to turn the tables in this war.
And this naturally makes the top leaders of Lighthouse Country have dark faces. Even more, their eyes are full of despair.
Everyone knows that Lighthouse Country may really be finished this time.
"General, I’m afraid we can’t resist the Russian attack. The Russian troops attacking from the south have already reached North Carolina and Tennessee, and they will soon enter Virginia and Kentucky. They are only one step away from Washington. The Russians and the British who attacked from the north have also reached New York and Connecticut. They are also very close to Washington. Our troops have basically lost the courage to continue fighting the Russians. A large number of troops on the front line have lost their fighting spirit and fled in large numbers. This makes us lose the possibility of turning the tables in this battle." General George Marshall, the Army Chief of Staff, looked desperate.
General Franklin also looked very decadent. If he was very confident in resisting the Russian attack before. Then at this time, he no longer had any confidence. In fact, he himself knew that the Lighthouse Country had already lost in this battle and had no chance.
"So, what should we do now?" Franklin asked.
The military leaders were silent. They had no confidence in the next battle, so they could not come up with any good suggestions.
"General, let’s negotiate with the Russians. Since we can’t beat the Russians, then negotiation may be the best way." Second General Kodel Hull suggested.
"The Russians will not let us go. They have promised to let their vassal states divide us long before the war broke out." General Franklin was a little unwilling.
"Even so, it can save many young men from dying on the battlefield. We have already lost this battle, and there is no need to continue. In that case, more people will die on the battlefield!" Second General Kodel Hull insisted.
Afterwards, other cabinet leaders also expressed their support for the views of Second General Kodel Hull.
Since the Lighthouse Country has already lost, if the war continues, more people will die on the battlefield. Instead of doing this, it is better to negotiate with the Russians earlier, or even surrender to them. In this way, at least many people can be saved.
"What if the Russians want us to give up resistance and let their vassal states divide our country? What should we do then?" General Franklin asked.
"Of course we will argue with reason and do our best.To ensure our interests. But if it really doesn’t work, there is nothing we can do. Our country cannot be destroyed by war, and we can’t let more people die in this war. "Cordell Hull said.
General Franklin looked at the performance of others and knew that everyone might have reached a consensus on this issue. So, he had to give up completely and said nothing more.
"Okay, since everyone means this. Then, everything will be done according to your wishes! I hope you won’t regret your choice today! "After saying this, Commander Franklin left the meeting room directly.
After reaching an agreement with the cabinet and military leaders of the Lighthouse Country, the second commander, Kodelher, quickly took action.
The Lighthouse Country formally proposed a request for peace talks to the Russian Empire through envoys in neutral countries, hoping to stop the war and end the war through peaceful negotiations.
Molotov, the Foreign Minister of the Russian Empire, immediately reported the situation to Tsar Mikhail.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the people of the Lighthouse Country can no longer hold on. They are very clear that they are no match for us on the battlefield. Therefore, they want to negotiate with the Empire. The Empire will soon be able to win this war. "Molotov’s face was full of smiles. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Tsar Mikhail was also very happy. The war was about to end!
You know, it has been six years since the outbreak of this war…0
During these six years, the Russian Empire also paid a heavy price in the war. The casualties of the troops alone are not a small number. If the consumed war materials are counted, it will be an astronomical figure.
Fortunately, the Russian Empire also won one victory after another in this war. It also gained great benefits in the war. , which not only prevented the Russian Empire from being dragged down by the war, but made it even stronger because of the war. This also further eased the domestic people’s war plan.
Of course, if the war continues like this, it will not work.
The people’s patience for the war will sooner or later be exhausted. At that time, I am afraid they will strongly oppose the war.
Therefore, it is best for the Russian Empire to end the war before this.
The Lighthouse Country’s request for peace undoubtedly gave the Russian Empire such an opportunity.
"Tell the Lighthouse people that the Empire will not negotiate with them. They have only one choice, that is, unconditional surrender!" Mikhail said.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, what if the Lighthouse people disagree?" Molotov was a little worried.
"If they disagree, let the war continue. Anyway, we have gained an absolute advantage on the battlefield. Even if the Lighthouse people are unwilling to surrender unconditionally, it will only take a few months at most to completely defeat them.Defeat the Lighthouse people. At that time, the Lighthouse people will still have to let the empire slaughter them. Moreover, they will pay a greater price for this war. More people will die in this war! "Mikhail said with certainty.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Molotov replied.
After the Lighthouse country learned of the Russian Empire’s request, it was naturally very dissatisfied.
But they have no other way to deal with it? Who made them lose the war? And, they can no longer fight? In addition to accepting the Russians’ request, do they have any other choice? .
