"You don't know how tragic that war was. In order to win, we fought night, street fighting, hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese... We competed with them for streets and buildings inch by inch..."

"Not wrong, we failed, but we are not cowards! If you have the opportunity to restore this war, you will know how miserable we fought! Not only are we tragic, but those Chinese are even more tragic..."

"They are definitely not the weak and incompetent medieval army like the Qing Dynasty. These volunteers dared to fight with us and dared to fight closely with us. During the first wave of charge, their 10,000 people were almost dead, and none of them retreated..."

"I don't think it's a shame to fight such soldiers! Their weapons are sharper than ours, their logistics is sufficient, their local combat morale is higher than ours, and their will to fight to the death... I don't know what you can do if you encounter such an army..."

"More importantly, we are overthrowing the masses with few people, and our troops are not at all superior..."

Andrev let the blood fall on his military uniform and fall on the ground, and flowers of blood bloomed on the golden ingots.

He was distinguishing himself, and even more so for the warriors who persisted until the end. He knew very well that if Exon did not clean up the thorn in his heart today, if he returned to the country with anger, none of these prisoners would have a good end.

The soldiers who had to surrender to the end of the fight will be ruthlessly scrutinized by the empire. If one quarter of them survives, the bureaucrats will have a conscience.

The officer who had just swung his fist kept explaining his words and cursed angrily, "Shut up cowards! The empire does not accept surrendered soldiers, and the surrendered are all traitors! Go and die..." While cursing him, he was about to draw out his gun, and the officer next to him quickly stopped him.

Now I know why Exon closed the door. It turns out that these officers had already reached the verge of collapse. If the soldiers outside saw that the officers had become like this, the originally fragile morale would collapse immediately.

Andrev looked at the crazy officer in disappointment and whispered in a low voice, "It's so easy to die on the battlefield, but those who survive have to bear all this in front of you... Do you want me to die? But who knows that there are still thousands of innocent citizens waiting for me to save..."

"What if I don't sign this surrender order? Who will protect the lives of women and children..."

"It is their glory to sacrifice their lives for the empire! They should be prepared from the day they came to the Far East! The East Asian territory that the empire finally obtained must not be given to these Chinese people for nothing..." The madman-like officer roared hysterically, and accidentally kicked over the compressed biscuit scraps on the gold bricks.

Those officers who enjoyed eating salty salt as much as taking drugs were immediately furious. If you go crazy, we will not do it if you sprinkle our salty salt.

"Your eyes grow to your butt? This is our last bit of salt. You were ruined by you before you even got it!" As he spoke, he was beaten up with a series of punches and a group of people fought together.

Andrev looked at the group of madmen in pain and sighed to Exon, "Sir... it's useless to punish anyone. We must look forward. If you kill me, you can say it later. I just want to know what you are going to do now?"

Exon, who had injected morphine, smiled and looked at the farce in front of him, "Hahaha...what do? What else can I do! Just wait for news from the outside world day by day until the good news comes..."

"If you don't bring good news, then I'll wait for good news from Fajev. If Fajev doesn't have good news, then wait for good news from our minister in Beijing..."

"Sir!" Looking at Exson Andrev with a decadent face, he was furious. "Don't hold on to the fantasy anymore. Have you ever fought with these Chinese people? They are strong and cunning. Do you really think Fajeev will reverse the situation?"

"The army without logistics supplies marched thousands of kilometers against the wind and snow. What kind of combat effectiveness is there? The Chinese who are waiting to work hard can drag them to death even if they block the mountains and rivers..."

Before he finished speaking, Exon's face changed darted and shouted, "Then what should I do? Order the entire army to surrender in the name of the Governor of the East? Don't forget that you are just officers. Your surrender orders are limited to your own army, and my identity must not surrender!"

"The Governor of the Far East with full authority, I already have the power to sign a treaty with an independent country. Can I use this power? Xiao Letian, that bastard, is waiting for me, and I know his plan!"

"This bastard, if you don't kill us, you just surround us and want to sue us. They want to defeat us in legal terms! Damn... Why did such a damn bastard appear in Dongfang? How could he know so much!"

Exon panted heavily, and his words shocked everyone in the vault to lose their voices. Even the officer who was fighting put down his fists and looked at him blankly.

Exon was right. Before the mid-19th century, before the emergence of fast telegraph technology, human information transmission technology was very backward.

As long as the territory begins to globalize, the governor system must be introduced. The name may be different, but the basic principles are the same.

It is to send a purview to manage the territory that cannot be covered by the capital of the empire and the core areas. Because the transmission of personnel, materials and information in the sail era was too slow, the administrative center of the empire was completely unable to directly control the distant colonies, which required the governors to be given privileges.

Sometimes the country even gives merchants privileges. For example, the East India Company, when the Netherlands flourished, was granted overseas war power by the Dutch king, and a company could go to war with an independent and sovereign country based on actual conditions.

It is conceivable that even the right to war is decentralized, let alone the power of peaceful negotiations. Sometimes the colonial governor can determine the direction of the borders of many countries in just one sentence.

The borders of many modern African countries are straight, and they are divided completely according to the longitude and latitude lines. This is actually a good thing done by those lazy governors and commissioners. For example, Britain and France are drawing a straight line on the map. "The east is the British territory, and the west is the French. Do you think it's okay?"

"No! Is it good to move fifteen dimensions more?"

"No, I'll give you another twelve, this is the bottom line..."

After some bargaining, the boundary of the colonies appeared, and the borders of the state were formed in the long years that followed.

Exon's concerns are not unreasonable, because he knows that as long as he surrenders and falls into Xiao Letian's hands, God knows how difficult the negotiations will be waiting for him.

How much pressure did the young governor endure in his heart? It would be clear at a glance when looking at the empty morphine injections.
