A New Character Every Month

"Will those greedy and hateful congressmen surrender? Could it be that the sun came out from the west today?"

"Their surrender could only be because Xu Xu of the Revolutionary Army gave them some benefits, but with the behavior of the Revolutionary Army, they shouldn't seem like people who would compromise."

"Could it be that the members of the government army were overthrown by the people below?"

Many people voiced doubts, but after seeing the plain expression of the white-haired old man, their voices gradually lowered and disappeared soon.

After the excited speech just now, they also know that this matter is likely to be true.

After all, the white-haired old man has always been cautious, and would never directly announce something that has not been confirmed.

Command fell silent again.

After a long time, a voice came out: "The government army has surrendered, so now we are the only army left? There is the revolutionary army in the front, and the imperial army in the back. How will we fight the battle in the future?"

Facing this voice that seemed to be complaining and asking, no one responded.

"It's better than..."

At this time, another voice sounded: "Let's surrender too!"

"surrender?"

Many people had emotions on their faces. If they had heard the news of the surrender of the government forces, they would never have considered the option of surrender.

After all, their enemy was only the imperial army, and the adjacent government army was overwhelmed by the offensive of the revolutionary army, so it was naturally impossible to fight them.

So as long as they can defend against the invasion of the imperial army, they will be able to develop their military strength steadily for future affairs.

But now, with the enemy on both sides, the armies of both sides are not easy to provoke.

If you insist on it, I'm afraid it's just a meaningless sacrifice.

"Surrender... yes, surrender!"

Someone echoed, and more voices rang out.

"This option seems to be fine."

"Well, you can consider it."

In this situation, surrender is undoubtedly the best choice.

Although they can persist for a period of time even if they are attacked on both sides, this will only kill the soldiers below, and even the civilians below may be implicated in the war.

"To whom should we surrender?"

"Revolutionary Army!"

"why?"

"The Revolutionary Army is an army composed of our Federation people, and the Imperial Army is just an intruder. Does it matter who you choose?"

Many people showed approving glances. If they want to surrender, the Revolutionary Army is indeed the best choice.

But there are still a few officers who are unwilling to give up. They don't want to surrender. They have finally obtained the right to integrate the military and government, but they will lose it in less than a year. How can they bear it.

But their voices are only a small part and cannot influence the decision

Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at the white-haired old man.

Among the group of people, he has the highest prestige, and many people here were even his students, or were single-handedly promoted by him.

Therefore, regarding the matter of surrender, it can only be carried out with his approval.

If he disagrees, he can only give up the option of surrender.

The white-haired old man pondered for a moment, then said lightly, "Just do what you think."

As soon as the voice came out, most people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The few unconvinced people showed a dejected look.

The white-haired old man quietly looked at the two excited officers in the corner, feeling uncomfortable.

These two people participated in leading the direction of the meeting to surrender, and later leading the target of surrender to the revolutionary army.

The true identities of these two people are spies of the Revolutionary Army.

The white-haired old man already knew that the reason why he didn't deal with them for a long time was because he wanted to pass some wrong information to the revolutionary army through them when they fought against the revolutionary army in the future.

Unexpectedly, the role now becomes surrender.

......

"The Iron Blood Army also surrendered?"

Lin Zian looked at the actuary in front of him in surprise.

The actuary nodded, and reported: "The Iron Blood Army has sent two high-level officials to discuss with us about the surrender, and the conditions suggested are not too much, and they are willing to obey our arrangement, full of sincerity. Come to think of it, this It should be that they made the decision after they received the news of the surrender of the government troops. This may also be due to the few spies we installed."

Lin Zian smiled, it seemed that it took no effort at all.

The reason why the government army chose to surrender when most of its strength remained was naturally due to him.

Those greedy and dirty politicians, even though the revolutionary army had submitted an application for surrender, the conditions they proposed were completely unacceptable.

If the revolutionary army accepts their surrender, it will have no practical significance and benefits except for a few more nominally autonomous city-states.

So don't talk about Lin Zian, even some moderates who don't like fighting can't accept such conditions.

In order to preserve the strength of the revolutionary army, Lin Zian had no choice but to go out in person, which led to the clean surrender of the government army.

But I didn't expect that the iron-blooded army would surrender. What a surprise.

"Your Excellency."

The actuary said again: "The opinion of the Congress is to accept the surrender. Do you have any other opinions? Or do you disagree with the conditions proposed by the Jagged Army?"

Lin Zian said lightly: "That's it. Since you all feel that the conditions are acceptable, then I have no objection. The Federation has gone through so much war, and it can start to recover one day earlier and preserve some strength. Isn't that what we are all about?" Do you want it?"

The surrender of the Jagged Army passed quickly in today's extremely efficient revolutionary army, and the power transfer was successfully completed in just one month.

So far, it took seven months and three days for the revolutionary army to occupy the first city-state, and a total of 28 city-states were occupied.

The remaining eight are difficult to regain, because the empire that occupies them is the peak state.

Therefore, while holding the founding ceremony, the Revolutionary Army severely condemned the Empire for not paying attention to morality and rules when the Federation fell into civil strife, wantonly occupying the land of the Federation, and strongly demanded that the Empire return the occupied city-states.

But imperial officials scoffed at this innocuous diplomatic manuscript.

After occupying the eight city-states, the wealth of many of them has more than doubled, earning a lot of money.

Facing such a cornucopia-like city-state, how could it be easy to let go.

Regarding the reunification of the federation in a short period of time, many high-ranking officials of the empire are still downcast, secretly hating why they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy a few more city-states.

A sober-minded imperial officer would never pay attention to such mindless thoughts.

At that time, it wasn't that they didn't want to capture a few more city-states, but that the iron-blooded army and the government army firmly blocked their way of invasion.

Coupled with the fact that some high-ranking officials of the empire secretly obstructed it because they could not benefit from this matter, it took more than half a year to occupy eight city-states.

empire.

Royal Palace.

Lilian sat on the throne, silently looking at the ministers below with her calm eyes.

"My lord, I have something to report."

A minister stood up.

Lillian said, "Say."

The minister reported: "An hour ago, the new federation sent a diplomatic notice to our country, requesting that our country return the eight city-states it invaded within a month, and compensate for all losses caused to the federation, otherwise it will go to war with our country!"

Although the federation established by Lin Zian has a new name, it is still the federation because of the suffix.

Therefore, in the mouths of these imperial officials, for convenience, it is called the New Federation.

"Your Excellency, this matter must not be promised to them."

"This new federation is really ridiculous. They are not the former federation. What qualifications do they have to ask us for these eight city-states?"

"I heard that the name of the supreme leader of the new federation is still on our empire's most wanted list. It's not surprising that he can do such a ridiculous thing."

"The eight city-states belong to our empire, and their new federation is not qualified to take them away."

The ministers below talked a lot, and after a debate like a vegetable market, they finally decided to ignore it.

The new Federation will go to war if it wants to go to war, and many military officials are worrying that they will not have any credit for it.

It is exactly what they want to go to war.

The meeting dispersed, and Lilian returned to her palace, her face turned as cold as ice for a moment.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, she silently looked at herself in the mirror.

After a long time, she suddenly said, "Feifei, why do you think they postponed the wedding?"

The female officer Feifei at the side was stunned for a moment, and when she was thinking about how to answer, she found that Lilian was lost in thought again, as if the question just now was just an illusion.

Seeing this scene, Feifei sighed slightly in her heart.

After all, the background of her own empress is too shallow. Although she has been an empress for several years, most of the people in the court belong to the royalist minister.

Because of the wedding, everyone had no objection to Lilian's order under the leadership of the royalist minister.

But two months ago, when the city was preparing for the wedding, the royalist minister suddenly found a lame reason to postpone the wedding.

Since then, the gang of old foxes in the courtroom have also begun to act according to the wind, obediently obeying Lilian's orders, and from time to time, a group of people will stand up and oppose together, without giving any face.

But because most of the power is in the hands of these old foxes, it is impossible to deal with them at all.

At this time, a strange color flashed in Feifei's eyes.

She thought of the Charles who escaped the pursuit of the two countries by himself, and then established a new country from scratch on the site of the former Federation in just a few years.

She rarely heard Lilian mention this name recently.

I don't know if it's because Lilian has left power and has no time to think about these things, or because of other reasons.

Suddenly, Feifei fixed her eyes.

Through the mirror, she saw that her queen's mouth was moving slightly, and she seemed to be saying something at the same time.

But because the voice was too low, she couldn't hear it at all.
