Since they cannot be defeated, they can only abandon the war and face the danger of the soldiers' pressure. Is there any other choice besides surrendering?
If there is, I am afraid it is only a conditional surrender.
That is, before surrendering, put forward some minimum requirements, or the most basic guarantee, to the other party.
In the current situation, not only the Supreme Chief, but other generals also thought so in their hearts.
If it continues to fight, whether it is direct armaments or logistical support, they will be unsustainable.
There are only two options now. Either burn with the times and use the lives of all the soldiers and the people of the city to fight the enemy for the last time. There is almost no chance of victory or a bloody fight until the whole city is destroyed.
Either they can only surrender, but hope to win some conditions.
Fan Jianming glanced at the generals present, and saw that none of them said anything, which was equivalent to acquiescing to the meaning of the highest official.
It goes without saying that these generals are upright men, but they have to face the reality. This is the most essential difference between the N country generals who have experienced war and the S country generals who have not.
Fan Jianming shook his head and said: "It is impossible to surrender. Although we can guarantee the safety of the surviving soldiers and ordinary people, how can we face the sacrificed soldiers and the many ordinary people across the country who support us in the future?"
Why, don't surrender?
When the audience heard this, they were all stunned, and they all cast their gazes at Fan Jianming.
In the face of an extremely powerful enemy, are there other options besides surrendering?
Apart from taking advantage of the short-term truce to offer them a conditional surrender, what else can be done to end this war?
The supreme officer became excited.
He can already accept conditional surrender, and now Fan Jianming actually says not to surrender, then any of his suggestions has greatly exceeded the expectations of the highest official and the generals present.
The supreme officer grabbed Fan Jianming's arm and asked, "General Fan, what do you mean--"
Fan Jianming said: "I am going to negotiate with the West, but everyone should not have great hopes for the outcome of the negotiations. After all, the strength of our two sides is too great, and there is no bargaining chip for us to bargain, so I want to set the bottom line of my negotiation. Speak up and see what everyone has to say?"
The supreme officer said: "General Fan, speak up!"
Fan Jianming said: "First, the West must respect the territorial integrity of N country, and must recognize the current regime as the only legal regime in the country."
"second,
Western troops, even mercenary corps and warlord troops, are not allowed to exist in N country. "
"Thirdly, what country N can do is to open up the market and allow Western companies to enter the country, but they can't get involved in some industries that involve state secrets..."
Before Fan Jianming could finish speaking, the top officer opened his eyes wide and asked incredulously: "General Fan, do you think you are really sure to negotiate this condition?"
Fan Jianming smiled and said, "I have other additional conditions. I will not allow them to act recklessly."
"No, no," said the top official: "As long as you can make the West recognize that we are the only legitimate government representing N country, all other conditions can be promised to them!"
After speaking, the Supreme Commander glanced at the generals.
It is clear to everyone present that under this circumstance, being able to ensure that the West recognizes the government is equivalent to recognizing the sovereignty of the country.
Having recognized the sovereignty of the country, the current regime can still be maintained, and the current army can still exist. For country N, it is simply a victory without a fight!
As for the additional conditions at the end, everyone present felt that it was a fantasy, and Westerners could not agree to it.
Seeing that the generals did not disagree, the top official said to Fan Jianming: "As long as you can allow the West to recognize our regime, we can even draw a bit of a place on the border so that the past warlord troops and even mercenaries will have one They can get a foothold and even allow them to create a self-made area."
"As for their Western companies to come in, no matter what projects they operate, we don't even restrict it."
Fan Jianming also glanced around at the generals present, and when he saw that they were all watching him, he nodded silently.
Fan Jianming nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I can assure everyone here that the outcome of my negotiations will definitely be much better than this."
The supreme officer and the generals present were very worried that Fan Jianming was asking for a price, and the negotiation collapsed, and there was no chance of conditional surrender.
The highest officer almost pleaded: "General Fan, we understand what you mean, and your courage is obvious to all, but I still want to remind you that what I just said is the bottom line that we can accept."
"If you can strive for greater benefits for us, our people in the whole country will thank you. If it doesn’t work, then don’t take it hard. As long as you hold the bottom line, we will treat you very much
Thank you very much. "
Fan Jianming nodded and said: "Don't worry, your Excellency the Supreme Chief, and all generals. A great man in the East once said: People don’t offend me, I don’t offend people, and if people offend me, I must offend people!"
"The war was initiated by the Westerners. I was not involved. That was the luck of the Westerners. Now that I have moved in, I'm afraid it won't let them go so smoothly."
"Whether on the battlefield or at the negotiating table, I can make concessions and make some compromises, but it is absolutely impossible for me to be at the negotiating table and give away what they hope to get from the battlefield!"
Fan Jianming's remarks were upright, hearty and full of blood.
In this case, even a man wants to say it, but what about his strength?
In this case, in the current situation, only Fan Jianming can say it, because he has this kind of strength!
The supreme officer suddenly yelled "stand up." He led all the generals and once again paid a military salute to Fan Jianming.
Fan Jianming got up hurriedly and kept bowing to them.
The top official said: "General Fan, we give you all the power to negotiate with Westerners. The reason we do this is not to lose power and humiliate the country, because you are a friend worthy of respect and the trust of the people of N country."
"In the process of your negotiation, no matter what the result is, even if it is a conditional surrender in the end, we will accept it and we will not blame you."
"Please treat country N as country S, or even your home country. All decisions you make will be accepted by us unconditionally."
This is trust and pressure.
The highest official entrusted a country to Fan Jianming, and Fan Jianming felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.
He is equivalent to carrying country S on one shoulder and country N on the other. As an Oriental, even if there is no entrustment by anyone, his behavior, in the eyes of foreigners, also represents the rising East.
If this negotiation can proceed smoothly, it will undoubtedly be a complete victory for the cause of justice in the world.
If it fails, and a larger-scale war occurs as a result, leading to the demise between State S and State N, it will be a disaster for the just cause of the world.
"Relax, Your Excellency," Fan Jianming said loudly and loudly, "I will definitely live up to my mission. Unless Westerners can step on my corpse, they won't get any advantage in Country N!"
At this moment, Fan Jianming's cell phone rang, and he took it out to see that it was Elena's cell phone number.
