Jagged Germany

Chapter 888: Mediation (seeking monthly ticket)

"General, we can't fight anymore. Our troops have lost too much. The first batch of troops who attacked lost more than 60%. Those who retreated had their will to fight collapsed. We have no ability to continue fighting. It is." A lieutenant general tried to persuade.

"Yes, General. The firepower of the Germans is too strong. Not only do they have powerful machine gun firepower, but also the density of artillery fire is very high. What's more terrible is that they also have fire support from naval guns. The power of naval guns is too powerful , We have to lose hundreds of people in one shot, and almost all of them have no bones left. Our soldiers have no courage to continue fighting." Another lieutenant general also said.

  Admiral Mark Misian's face was livid, the battle had just begun, and as a result, the troops he led collapsed, and he didn't have the courage to continue fighting. This is really embarrassing.

  Although, he knew that this was the truth, the strength of the Germans exceeded their expectations. However, with the battle like this, he has no way to explain to His Majesty the King! Once His Majesty the King is furious, the consequences will be very serious. He, the commander, will bear the brunt of the punishment.

   "What about the other troops? Can they continue to fight?" Admiral Makmisian asked.

   "General, the Germans were so tough in the previous battles, how could our troops still have the courage to continue fighting!"

   "Yeah, General. If you send troops to attack, it's really no different from sending them to die. They certainly won't agree."

   "General, if we forcibly issue an order to attack, it might cause the troops to mutiny. In that case, the consequences will be even more dangerous."

   Admiral Mark Misian was a little frustrated. He knew that the troops really didn't have the courage to fight.

   "Since everyone thinks so, then I will not force it. I will report to His Majesty the King. I hope His Majesty can understand our difficulties!" Admiral Makmisian said.

  In fact, he also thinks that it is very stupid to start a war with Germany for little Gibraltar. It's not about international honors. After all, Gibraltar was also not in the hands of the Spaniards before, but in the hands of the British. The British returned Gibraltar to Spain so bluntly, they didn't have any good intentions. If you can, just don't. Even for the sake of face, I have to accept it. But there is no need to offend the Germans! The Germans want a loan, so give it to them. Although the rent is almost equal to zero. But that's much better than the heavy loss of troops now!

  Although Admiral Mark Misian did not agree to go to war with Germany, he was personally loyal to the King of Spain, or to this country. Therefore, he was ordered to command the war. Now, I know that if I continue to fight, there will be big problems. He had no choice but to comply with the opinions of the officers and soldiers and stop the attack.

   "General, will we be in trouble if we do this?" Some generals were a little worried.

   "I'll take care of everything!" Admiral Makmisian sighed.

  Of course he knew how much trouble it would be to disobey the king's order. However, that is impossible! If he doesn't show up, the others will be punished. With his current position and relationship with the king, at best he would lose his position. Life safety is still guaranteed. But if he doesn't show up, it will be hard for others to tell, and he might be sent to a military court. Such consequences are undoubtedly the most serious. Admiral Mark Misian also didn't want to see other generals lose their lives because of this.

   "General..." Some generals wanted to say more, but they were stopped by Admiral Mark Misian. What he has already decided will never change again.

  Madrid, Royal Palace. After King Alfonso XIII received the telegram from the front, he was furious.

"Bastards! They dared to disobey my orders. One hundred thousand people attacked Gibraltar, and now they have no courage to continue fighting. This is really shameful. I will send those cowards to military courts and hang them all! "Alfonso XIII cursed with a black face.

   Obviously, the telegram sent back from the front line made him very angry and very dissatisfied. He originally thought that even if the Spanish army is really no match for the Germans, at least they can fight a few decent battles in Gibraltar! In this case, even if he asks the Americans to mediate, he still has some face.

   But now, his army can't go on fighting directly. Doesn't it feel like they are about to be defeated, and they only ask someone to mediate when they have to? In that case, where will his face be placed!

"Your Majesty, I know Admiral Macmisian. Since he thinks that the battle is over, the situation on the front line should be very unfavorable to us. Otherwise, General Macmisian will never disobey His Majesty's order. You know, he has always been your most loyal general." Prime Minister Count Romanones said.

   After hearing what Count Romanones said, Alfonso XIII thought about it carefully. He still knows the character of Admiral Maximilian very well, and he is definitely his most loyal general. Since Admiral Maximilian disobeyed his orders, the situation on the front line must have reached a very bad point. Thinking of this, Alfonso XIII couldn't sit still.

"Then what should we do now? The strength gap between our army and the Germans is too great. If this continues, we will soon be defeated by them. In case the Germans see that our army's combat effectiveness is low, In an attempt to expand the war, what should we do." Alfonso XIII was frightened.

  Alfonso XIII is such a person, with a suspicious personality, surprised and surprised, listening to the wind is rain. Now, his mind is no longer blaming Admiral Macmisian for their disobedience to orders, but worried about what to do if Germany takes the opportunity to expand the war and launch a full-scale attack on Spain. Now he knows that the combat effectiveness of their army is simply impossible to fight against the German army. Once the war expands, they will definitely die very ugly.

"Your Majesty, since the war can no longer be fought, if we continue to fight, we will inevitably suffer greater losses. Therefore, we have only one way, and that is to immediately ask the Americans to mediate and end this war. This is what the Americans promised Yes, it's time for him to fulfill his promise," Baron Romanones said.

   "Okay, let the Americans mediate immediately." Alfonso XIII made up his mind.
