Near noon, an imperial armed train appeared on the horizon, heading towards a clear outpost of the Resistance Army.
It passed over the remaining snow on the ground, and the powerful air flow it sprayed dragged out a long tail, getting closer and closer.
There was a commotion in the Second Command, and all eyes were on the monitor.
The screen zoomed in, and a white flag hung on the roof of the armed train, swaying in the wind.
Although it was expected, Xiao Ming still breathed a sigh of relief and instructed a squad of sentries on the ground not to be nervous and wait and see what happens.
The armed train stopped in front of the checkpoint, and an imperial officer wearing a black combat uniform got off.
The shiny black skull helmet looked terrifying.
The other party did not bring any guards.
He walked directly in front of the resistance soldier, gave a military salute, handed over a small object, said only "Please pass it to Mr.
Xiao Ming", and then returned.
The armed train still stood there, as if waiting for a reply.
The small object was a USB video recorder.
After a thorough inspection, it was sent to the second command headquarters as quickly as possible.
Xiao Ming couldn't wait and immediately ordered it to be played.
What appeared on the screen was the silver-haired Berlin Consul.
The wrinkles on his face showed helplessness and solemnity.
In fluent English, he issued an invitation: "Mr.
Xiao Ming, it's time for us to sit down and talk.
I represent The Imperial Senate solemnly invites you to come to Berlin to discuss the armistice agreement."
Inside the Second Command, cheers erupted again.
From the ultimatum to the armistice agreement, although it was only three short days, every officer and soldier experienced no less than a purgatory.
Xiao Ming glanced at Daofeng, Jing Chun, the two division commanders and his subordinates in turn, and couldn't restrain his inner excitement: "Comrades, we have won."
Yes, although the Resistance Army did not win this war, this result can definitely be called a victory.
After a rapid offensive in the early stages of the revolution, it turned into a stalemate on the defensive, and finally retreated to the underground base, proving that the Republic was incapable of destroying the Fourth Reich.
If the two sides reach an armistice agreement, they can at least coexist peacefully.
As an old saying goes, the world is too big to accommodate both enemies and friends.
Xiao Ming immediately decided to go to Berlin three days later to negotiate with the Fourth Reich.
His decision was conveyed to the armed train through the sentry, who then turned around and left.
This important news spread quickly, turning Base 2 into a sea of joy.
It was even more exciting than the enemy's ground offensive that had been repelled a few days ago.
Peace is the wish of every normal human being.
Only irrational war monsters and profit-driven warmongers do not want peace.
Only Jing Chun, with a worried look on his face, whispered beside Xiao Ming: "Third brother, why don't you find a neutral place to negotiate?
What if it's a Hongmen Banquet?"
Xiao Ming was not dazzled by the victory.
He had not thought of this just now.
However, in such a vast Europe, there is no neutral place.
There are white-eyed corpses everywhere, and danger is everywhere.
Of course, he can also ask the other party to come to Base No. 2 for negotiations, but in this case, it will appear that he lacks confidence and is in a weak position in the negotiation.
So what if he went to Berlin?
The x battlefield that day was more dangerous than the dragon's pool and the tiger's den, and he still managed to break out of it.
He was willing to be killed and dared to bring down the emperor.
He entered the enemy's territory to negotiate, which not only showed his personal self-confidence, but also showed his confidence in the resistance army.
After all, peace is fought, not negotiated.
Only with strong military strength can we have the capital for political negotiations.

"Fifth sister, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can the tiger forgive you and the enemy won't dare to do anything to me?"
Xiao Ming comforted Jing Chun.
Finally, he could leave Base Two with peace of mind.
Before leaving, Xiao Ming hosted a memorial meeting for the fallen soldiers.
In the second defense battle of the base, a total of 4,000 resistance soldiers were killed, accounting for two-fifths of the total strength of the defenders.
The casualties were not without heavy casualties.
Without effective supply of troops, new settlements will face a huge manpower gap.
The only healthy source of reserve soldiers can only be children under the age of fourteen.
Although Base No. 2 also implemented a planned matching policy and promoted polyandry, it did not follow the example of the capital and form a Boy Scout troop.
At the memorial meeting attended by representatives of the entire army and the people, Xiao Ming personally raised the red-background white-y national flag symbolizing freedom, and delivered a eulogy in a heavy tone: "Comrades, brothers and sisters, today, with an extremely sad heart, we here In memory of all the martyrs of the Republic who sacrificed their lives heroically for freedom, first of all, let us pay our highest salute to our comrades who died gloriously in this battle and observe three minutes of silence."
All the soldiers solemnly saluted the national flag, and a row of dense gunshots bid farewell to the departed heroes.
Then, the officers and soldiers took off their military caps and bowed their heads in silence with the people.
The whole place was silent.
In the ranks of the people, there were women weeping softly, and the mourning quickly expanded, and the cries became one.
In the ranks of the army, the soldiers shed tears silently when they remembered that they could no longer see the familiar faces they had spent time with day and night.
After the ceremony, Xiao Ming wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put on his military cap, and his voice became high-pitched: "The smoke has cleared and the heroes have gone away, but the battle is far from over.
We must always remember that peace comes not by begging." , but in exchange for the blood and lives of the martyrs.
In order to defend peace, we need more soldiers.
People of the Republic, the resistance army needs your children to inherit the legacy of the martyrs and fight for freedom, because they are all free. son" "Join the Resistance Army and fight for freedom," a clear child's voice shouted.
The public sentiment was passionate, and more people joined in the cry and were willing to send their children to join the army.
Inadvertently, Xiao Ming turned the memorial meeting into a recruitment meeting.
That night, Xiao Ming left Base No. 2.
This time, he took Jing Chun away, leaving Blade behind, and entrusted him with important responsibilities.
With him as the leader, he established the Blade Special Forces, and transferred 500 soldiers from the 4th and 5th Divisions to participate in the formation.
Since the military strength cannot be increased in a short period of time, we can only tap the potential internally.
Daofeng understands Xiao Ming's deep meaning and solemnly accepts this appointment.
He will take over the banner of his father's generation and reproduce the glory of his father's generation.
Xiao Ming and Jing Chun drove a hovercar and rushed back to the capital at night.
Although the two sides have agreed to negotiate, they still need to be extremely careful.
It is precisely because of the secret existence of Base One that the enemy is afraid of the resistance's secondary nuclear strike capability.
Once the enemy figures out the location of Base No. 1, they can take a preemptive strike and wipe out all the resistance organizations.
Jing Chun was driving the return journey, and there were only five people left in the guerrilla group she led.
Two squads of hometown soldiers suffered almost all casualties.
After a brief celebration, Xiao Ming and Jing Chun felt heavy in their hearts.
The casualties were too great, and the resistance army could not even afford a second battle of this scale.
At midnight, the group returned to the capital.
Xiao Ming was not sleepy and worked non-stop, once again requesting the convening of the Supreme Committee.
Since Blade stayed at Base No. 2, only the three major committee members Xiao Ming, Paul, and Lincoln attended the meeting, plus the three representatives Sally, Rose, and Wan Ruo, the effective votes were four, and there was a possibility of a tie vote.
Fortunately, this temporary meeting does not need to pass any proposals.
It mainly discusses the terms of negotiation with the empire.
Mei Mei and Wanruo were the happiest because they were worried about their husbands' safety and never slept together.
Although the others were woken up from their sleep, they were quite excited.
Xiao Ming's return showed that he had achieved the expected results, and Base No. 2 was saved.
Xiao Ming first gave a debriefing report, briefly describing the air attack on the port city-state and the situation after returning to Base No. 2.
He lived up to expectations.

Sally took the lead in applauding, Paul and Lincoln high-fived each other, and Rose and Wanruo smiled and wiped away tears.
Peace came so suddenly.
No one wants to fight, especially the elderly and women.
For them, enjoying their old age and raising children is the most real happiness.
However, when they heard that the negotiation was taking place in Berlin, Rose and Wanruo became worried again, fearing that something would happen and the greatest contributor to peace would fall on the eve of peace.
The two girls had a clear understanding of each other and immediately suggested that Xiao Ming should not take part in the negotiations himself, but could just send a representative.
Rose spoke plausibly.
The commander-in-chief only had a first-grade education in elementary school.
His English proficiency was limited.
He could speak but not write, and his eloquence was average.
It was okay to let him lead the troops in the war.
But for such a formal matter, it was better to choose someone else.
Wan seems to be exaggerating.
The commander-in-chief has extremely poor concentration.
He can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman.
For example, Adele once confused him.
If the enemy tries to trick him again, what's wrong with the commander-in-chief's signature?
treaty, the losses would be great.
Well, in order to prevent her husband from taking risks, the second daughter revealed all his shortcomings and embarrassing things.
Being ridiculed by his two wives, Xiao Ming had no place to put his little face.
His face was red and his ears were red.
He wanted to drag the two stinky girls home, beat their buttocks to be swollen, and make his husband happy.
But in front of everyone, he had no choice but to be a gentleman and keep his mouth shut.
He reasoned with reason and explained his reasons earnestly, trying to persuade his two wives.
Paul and Lincoln sided with Xiao Ming, believing that he was the most suitable negotiator.
He had a psychological advantage over the enemy and could strive for the best interests of the Republic in negotiations.
As for Mei Mei and Wanruo's concerns, they are not unreasonable, but they can be solved by assigning Xiao Ming a deputy representative who can be both his think tank and supervisor.
Xiao Ming nodded repeatedly and protested to the two girls.
Is there no problem now?
Sally hesitated for a moment before expressing her position, saying that the leader must be aware of such a big matter as the peace agreement between the two parties.
He should contact the base in the next two days and listen to his opinions before making a decision.
Although the Supreme Council implements the decision-making principle of the minority obeying the majority, there is a special clause, that is, when the leader's opinion conflicts with everyone else, the leader's opinion shall prevail.
In other words, the leader has the final say.
Therefore, the issue of negotiators was put aside for the time being, and everyone began to discuss the terms of the negotiation.
In short, keep in mind the most fundamental guiding principle: to strive for the greatest living space for the Republic The extraordinary meeting of the Supreme Committee lasted until dawn.
Everyone was in high spirits and the discussion was lively.
Xiao Ming, who had not slept all day and night, felt tired at first and even yawned.
In addition, the candidate for negotiation had not been finalized yet, so he did not want to do useless work.
He stretched greatly and said: "Anyway, the negotiation time is set in three days.
Let's rest first and continue the meeting in the afternoon."
Sally synthesized everyone's opinions and ideas and needed time to digest them, so she decided to break up the meeting.
The couple returned home, and Huo Huo was taken out for a walk by the guard.
It was rare for the three of them to be alone.
However, the two women refused to give up and launched an ice and fire offensive.
Rose deliberately got angry at him, while Wanruo was gentle and considerate.

She attacked him twice with only one purpose: she didn't want Xiao Ming to sleep and stopped him from negotiating.
Xiao Ming's upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, but he was tormented by his two wives so much that he couldn't sleep.
Thinking about how they were on the Supreme Council, they didn't give him any face at all.
He got so angry that he actually pinned the two women on the bed and looked at them.
Two raised buttocks, crackling, and slapped several times:
