Eight hundred and fifty-six.(3/3)

At 11 o'clock noon, the German offensive suddenly stopped, and then I was surprised to find that I received a call from Marshal Ernst.













It was a day that Brigadier General Kakka would never forget. In his command, he actually received a call from Marshal Ernst of Germany.











He could even remember every conversation he had with Marshal Ernst that day: "Kakka is correct, I am Ernst Bryme!"

"Martyr Ernst, it is an honor to hear you here, and although we are now on both sides of the hostile side, this cannot prevent my respect for you."

"Thank you for your compliment, Brigadier General Kakka. After the outbreak of the battle, you and your troops expressed enough courage. Now the situation is completely out of your control, and I can also tell you very clearly that Lieutenant General Carson can no longer give you any form of support. As a commander, I think I am considering how to save the life of the survivor."

"Did you let me surrender?"

"Yes, I'm asking you to surrender. As a soldier, you will feel that surrender will be the greatest shame, but it is a serious irresponsibility to the soldiers even though you know it will fail. Brigadier General Kakka, it's time for you to make a decision, is it to fight to the death for the honor of being a general, or to save the lives of your soldiers...."

"Marson, I hope you can give me half an hour to consider, although I know that such a request is absurd, after all, there will be too many changes in half an hour."

"I will give you an hour. I trust you. Maybe my trust will bring another battle with my soldiers, but I am willing to trust you. This phone call will remain open and I will wait for your final decision in front of the phone."

This is a trust from the enemy. Brigadier Kakka swore that he had never received such unconditional trust.

He answered the phone call with Lieutenant General Carson, first reported to him about the harsh situation of the 37th Brigade, and then informed him of the enemy Marshal Ernst's request.

Lieutenant General Carson was silent for a long time before he said, "I believe in you the same way, Brigadier General. You are a brave commander. If it were not for the last time, you would not report this to me. Brigadier General, I will approve your request for surrender, and all the responsibilities will be borne by me. I will report to Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland."

"Where are you, Lieutenant General? I believe your situation is not much better than mine."

"Yes, it's very difficult for me to come here too. The enemy has been preparing for this military operation for too long. In addition to the troops in France, the Axis troops have also launched attacks on all fronts and battlefields. We have no more power to reinforce here. However, I can also tell you a special intelligence. Just last night, Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland personally called me, and he used very strict words to order me not to lose the Notica military base. So I am ready to die here."

Brigadier Kakka had no idea what he should say.











He knew Lieutenant General Carson so well that no one could change him once he made any decision.











The only thing he can do is to wish him good luck.











Brigadier General Kakka hung up and took the phone with Lieutenant General Carson, and then re-checked the previous phone: "Marson, are you still there? Yes, it didn't take an hour for me to make a decision. Marshal, I am honored that my troops were able to surrender to you, although I used the word honor to use it very ridiculous."

"Nothing ridiculous, General Kakka, I must thank you for saving their lives for your subordinates. I will wait for you here."

"I believe you won't wait for a long time." Brigadier General Kakka put down the phone and carefully sorted out his military uniform.

He was as excited as a child because he was about to meet his childhood idol soon!

That is the respectable Baron Alexander!

Surrender may indeed seem absurd to use the word "honour", but Kakka doesn't care about it. All he cares about is the words Marshal Ernst said to him:

"Yes, I'm asking you to surrender. As a soldier, you will feel that surrender will be the greatest shame, but it is a serious irresponsibility to the soldiers even though you know it will fail. Brigadier General Kakka, it's time for you to make a decision, is it to fight to the death for the honor of being a general, or to save the lives of your soldiers...."

Yes, I did not do anything wrong, I just did what a commander should do.

If someone blames him for this, he will face everything calmly!
