On the night of April 19, Versailles, German military's headquarters. Oscar It is rare to take a break after finishing the day's work.
However, his rest did not last long before he was interrupted. Major General Manstein, walked into his office.
"Major General, what's the matter?" Oscar asked. Oscar knows that if there is nothing important, Major General Manstein will not disturb him at this time.
"Your Highness, the front line reported that they captured an officer of British Expeditionary Force. The other party claimed to be the adjutant of British Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps Commander General Allenby. He has something important to discuss with us." Major General Manstein said.
"The adjutant of No. 4 Army Group Commander General Allenby? What do they want to do? Are they here to surrender?" Oscar asked.
"Your Highness, I analyze that the Britain people should have come for this purpose. It seems that the high-intensity attacks for several days have made the Britain people almost unable to hold on. For the sake of their own lives, they want to surrender. However, it's no wonder, after all, this is the capital of French, and it has nothing to do with these Britain people. There is no need for them to fight for the capital of French," Major General Manstein said.
Oscar nodded. "Then let the Britain people's envoy come in. If British Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps can surrender, this will undoubtedly be a great thing for us."
"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Manstein nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
A few minutes later, General Allenby's adjutant was brought to Oscar's office. Before coming in, Guard had already searched. General Allenby's adjutant does not have any weapons on him. Even so, there are a few more Guard in the office, just in case. After all, the identity of Oscar is Crown Prince of the German Empire, which is extremely noble. If he is assassinated by the enemy, the consequences will undoubtedly be too serious and no one can bear it.
"Your Highness, good evening. I am General Allenby's adjutant, Major Edward." Major Edward took the initiative to salute Oscar, speaking German in a very standard manner. This makes the conversation between them without translation at all.
"Major, please take a seat. General Allenby sent you here for what purpose?" Oscar asked.
"Your Highness, General Allenby believes that Anglo-French Allied Forces has no chance of winning this battle. He doesn't want to continue fighting. After all, if the fight continues, it will just make the soldiers on both sides die in vain." Major Edward said.
Oscar nodded. "If General Allenby can think this way, it is undoubtedly the best. Do you represent Anglo-French Allied Forces's troops in Paris, or is it just you?"
"Your Highness, what we can represent is only Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps. French, we cannot represent it." Major Edward said.
Oscar is not surprised by this. French's fighting will and determination are obviously more determined than those of Britain. After all, this is their capital and they have no retreat. Britain people can surrender when they see that the situation is not good. But if you want French to surrender, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
"Major, do you have any conditions for General Allenby?" Oscar asked straight to the point.
"Your Highness, General Allenby hopes that you can promise to ensure the life and property safety of Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps's remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Before the end of the war, we will ensure our food and medicine supply, injured soldiers will also receive proper treatment, and you will not force prisoners of war to work. After the war is over, we will be released and returned to Britain." Major Edward said.
Oscar nodded, such conditions are not harsh. If these hundreds of thousands of Britain people continue to resist, even if German military has powerful firepower as support. But in battle, there will also be a heavy price to pay. If nothing else, tens of thousands of casualties are inevitable. After the Britain people surrendered, they saved tens of thousands of troops and saved the lives of tens of thousands of young men.
In addition, after the Britain people surrendered, the entire southern part of Paris fell under the control of German military. German military can now gather its forces and attack the northern part of Paris. With only more than 200,000 French troops, it is almost impossible to resist the Encirclement Offensive of four legions of German military. In this case, German military will be able to win quickly among Battle of Paris.
"Major, please tell General Allenby that I agree to his conditions. After British Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps surrenders to us, I promise to ensure the safety of your lives and property. Of course, you cannot take away the cultural relics looted by the British army in Paris city. After the war, I will release you and let you return to Britain." Oscar said.
"Your Highness, I will tell General Allenby." Major Edward did not expect that Oscar would be so easy to talk to. Of course, this also means that the conditions of both parties have been reached. Then, if British Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps surrenders to German military, there will be no problem.
After Major Edward left happily, Oscar summoned Commander of the 1st Army Corps General Kluck and 5th Army Corps Commander General Dithfurth, and informed them of British Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps's surrender.
General Kluck and General Dithfurth were both stunned. They did not expect that Britain's entire army would surrender. However, this is obviously a good thing for German military.
"Your Highness, this is a great thing! We should agree to their conditions." General Kluck said.
"Yes, Your Highness. After the Britain people surrendered, only French will be left. In this case, we will have a few days at most to conquer Paris!" General Dithfurth also said excitedly.
Oscar nodded. "In this case, then I will fully accept the conditions of the Britain people. Everything is aimed at accepting the war as soon as possible."
Oscar is also very interested in British Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps Commander General Allenby. There is no doubt that this is a talent, a talent who can see the situation clearly. Especially after learning that it was his plan to force German military to give up attacking Paris with heavy artillery and aircraft, Oscar became even more optimistic about him.
In the future, after German military lands on British Isles and overthrows British government, it will also be necessary to consolidate the rule of Britain. This means that Germany needs to support its agent in Britain. And a person like General Allenby who took the initiative to surrender to Germany is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate. Therefore, Oscar plans to get to know him well next, and if General Allenby is willing to work for Germany, he will focus on supporting him in the future.
