Chapter 344: Surrender Agreement between Civilized People (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)

November 3, one month after the war broke out.

At Trenklauken, a place that had been devastated in the past three days, a white flag was raised, and General Alsina, riding on horseback, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, walked towards the open space between the two armies' positions. There, the South Chinese had built a beautiful awning with a small table and two chairs, and even an ice bucket on the table.

“It’s like being on vacation…”

When this thought came to General Alsina's mind, he felt more helpless.

For the South Chinese, this war was just a vacation. The only fierce battle was during their first assault. What happened after that?

They did not send any soldiers, nor did they use heavy artillery to bombard the enemy as they had done in the past. Their infantry just watched from a distance. It was like watching a show, but the star of the show was the airship. And what about the Argentines on the ground? They were also the stars of the show, but they were tragic stars.

It took only three days to destroy their will. In the violent explosion, the will of the mortals was shattered into thin air.

In fact, General Alsina did not know how lucky he was. He was very honored to be the first general in the world to surrender during an air raid.

He was the first general to be defeated by the Air Force.

Just relying on this experience, he will be able to go down in history in the future, and will always leave a strong mark in the future military.

"General..."

Major John, who follows the general, is the general's neighbor. His father is also a famous landowner in Buenos Aires. As the general's adjutant, he will definitely become a general one day, but what about now?

It's all over!

Even Buenos Aires is finished!

"John, are you trying to say that we can still fight on, and the main force of our army is still there, right?"

General Alsina could understand what the young people around him were thinking. To them, honor seemed to be more important than anything else. But how could they understand the helplessness in their hearts?

"Yes General, it is better to die gloriously in battle than to surrender."

John said somewhat indignantly.

"That's true, but John, we all know that if we continue like this, it will only lead to many unnecessary deaths. You see, during the bombing, they have already pushed their forward trenches to within 500 meters of our position. Their heavy artillery may have been deployed. Perhaps tonight, their heavy artillery will blow through our defense line, and then..."

Alsina said with a long sigh.

"At least now we can save a lot of people!"

"But General, we all know that they don't seem to be civilized people. In Chile, many surrendered Chilean soldiers are still missing..."

John seemed a little nervous. Where did those soldiers go after surrendering? No one knew, but it was certain that surrender was not necessarily the best choice.

"I think they would not kill those people. After all, they are civilized people."

Soon, Alsina arrived in front of the awning.

"General, welcome! I am Sun Hu, commander of the First Corps of the South China Security Forces. I am very happy to see you!"

When Sun Hu spoke fluent Spanish, Alsina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw how well-dressed he was.

Fortunately, they are really a group of civilized people!

Why is Zhu Xianhai not here?

Yesterday, when Alsina sent a messenger to indicate that they were considering surrendering, Zhu Xianhai left the front-line observation post and returned to his special train.

The reason he left the front line was not because he felt he had seen enough blood, but because the outcome was already decided. The battle was going exactly as he had planned, and now the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

What's left?

Of course, the victors enjoy the fruits that belong to them. As a superior, Zhu Xianhai does not need to compete with his subordinates for the glory of victory. Let them enjoy this glorious moment.

"General, you are so polite!"

Alsina replied quickly.

"It's an honor to meet you, General."

"General, I have actually heard of your name for a long time, and I have always wanted to ask you about war. I am really sorry that we are meeting under these circumstances..."

Sun Hu still maintained his bearing and courtesy, and his oriental etiquette made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

"Well, I think we don't need to be so polite. Now, let's end this painful war together. I think your men have reason to return to a peaceful life!"

"Of course, General, as you said, they should indeed return to a peaceful life!"

Alsina's face lit up with joy. Since the other party said so, it seemed that the surrender agreement would be easy to reach.

Of course, an agreement is certainly easy to reach.

What about ensuring the safety of prisoners of war’s property?

This is for sure. The Nanhua Army is not a bandit, so they will not search their bodies. Even if they lose weight, it is just to prevent them from hiding weapons. Whether they are soldiers or officers, they can keep their personal belongings.

The most important thing is definitely to ensure the personal safety of prisoners of war.

This is also necessary. The Nanhua army is not barbarians and will definitely not massacre prisoners.

Sun Hu even took the initiative to raise issues such as treating the wounded, but given the current medical level, it was just symbolic.

The kindness of Nanhua was beyond Alsina's expectations. At the end, he asked in a grateful tone.

"General, I am very grateful for your kindness. I believe that your kindness is destined to be praised by the whole world. In the future, the entire civilized world will sing the praises of your kindness!"

Facing Alsina who bowed, Sun Hu spoke directly.

"General, this is what I should do. After all, Nanhua is also a civilized country, and we are all civilized people!"

What is civilization?

Is this civilization?

In fact, the so-called civilization is very simple. It is just the privilege of the victor. It is never the losers but the victors who define civilization. The victors can claim to be civilized and then point at the other side as barbaric. Just like before, didn’t General Alsina keep saying "in the name of civilization, in the name of progress, in the name of the land"?

But what about now?

As losers, all they can hope for is the mercy of the winner.

This is a joke!

However, at this time, as the victorious party, Sun Hu would not bring up old scores. In his opinion, that kind of thing is done by losers. As a winner, he behaved very generously and even politely, absolutely worthy of being from a country of etiquette.

Of course, this scene was also recorded by reporters accompanying the army with cameras. Not only reporters from Nanhua, but also reporters from France and even Britain - they even came to the front line at the invitation of Zhu Xianhai. They will personally witness how Nanhua defeated this group of "barbaric and brutal butchers".

What is the moral high point?

Of course it’s the one who will do the publicity!

In fact, many of these reporters are... well, our own people. They just provide us with some news materials!

"General, finally, I want to know, after we surrender, when can they go home?"

In response to General Alsina's question, Sun Hu answered without hesitation.

"When the war is over, General, I hope you can understand that we cannot release them and send them home before the war is over! But I promise you that when the war is over, they will definitely return to their hometowns and their families."

I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
