At noon, Elijah, the commander of the third division of the Orumi Federal Army, finally walked into the rebel camp. Elijah did not break his promise, he only brought a platoon of guards to protect him.
It was also the first time that Lin Rui saw what the commander of the third division looked like. Elijah was an Arab, and the stubble on his face was somewhat gray. Even though he came to surrender, he still maintained the demeanor of a soldier. The uniform is straight and the boots are well polished.
"General Elijah, long time no see." Kasan sneered and looked at Elijah.
"Kasan, I really didn't expect that we would meet here." Elijah also nodded. "I thought you died in some labor camp, but I didn't expect you were still alive."
"You're not dead yet, how dare I die so easily. Our accounts in Anmol haven't been settled yet." Kasan gritted his teeth and said.
¡°I¡¯m here, what do you want? Do you plan to seek settlement?¡± Elijah provoked.
But to his disappointment, Lin Rui patted Kasang and asked Kasang to sit down.
"Who are you?" Elijah looked at Lin Rui.
"General Elijah, we are actually old acquaintances. We fought against each other in Anmol. But this is the first time we are face to face." Lin Rui smiled slightly.
"Are you a mercenary?" Elijah nodded, "I should have thought that these rebels alone would not be able to force me into this situation. Sure enough, there are mercenaries involved, and there are also these Anmor people. . If it weren¡¯t for you, I¡¯m afraid the way we meet would have to be interchanged now.¡±
"General, don't mind too much. We all know the current situation well, and there is no point in using harsh words. I believe that the general is not a person who is quick to talk." Lin Rui nodded.
"You are the three regiments that have surrounded me. But to be honest, if you want to completely wipe out these three regiments, it will not be that easy. We are all sensible people. If you kill one thousand enemies, you will suffer eight hundred losses. , we all understand. Call Hammer out and I¡¯ll talk to him directly.¡± Elijah lit a cigarette.
"This is Mr. Hammer." Lin Rui pointed to the hammer beside him, "But I'm afraid the general still has to talk to me, because Mr. Hammer has given me full authority to handle all military issues."
"Oh? I really made a mistake. This gentleman is so young that he can actually be entrusted with important tasks by Mr. Hammer." Elijah nodded. "Then I will talk to you directly. I know what you are thinking. You hope that we can surrender. We can surrender, but we also have our demands."
"Let's talk about it." Lin Rui nodded.
"I can ask my men to lay down their arms and surrender to you. But you have to keep us safe. I know what you rebels are like, nothing more than an angry mob. Once we lay down our arms, I find it hard to believe , they can treat us rationally." Elijah looked at Lin Rui.
"General Elijah can rest assured about this. We hope that the general can surrender because we hope to set an example. Then, a precedent can be established between the rebel army and the federal army. So I can assure the general that Hammer Sir, you will definitely take this seriously." Lin Rui turned to the hammer.
Iron Hammer immediately nodded, "Yes, as long as your army puts down its weapons and stops resisting, I will ensure that the rebel army forgets the past."
"Okay. In addition, I require that our people receive the proper treatment as prisoners of war and have all the rights of prisoners of war stipulated in the Geneva Convention." Elijah continued.
"I'm afraid this is impossible." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I think General Elijah may have misunderstood us. We accept your surrender, but it is impossible to treat you as prisoners of war. In fact, I hope that General Elijah will Be able to lead your troops to join us.
Of course, if General Elijah or your men are not willing to join. We can also send you gifts as you leave. You are not prisoners of war, you are the oppressed and enslaved people of the Orumi Federation like the rebels.
It is not what a soldier does to go to the battlefield and use guns and cannons against his fellow citizens. The responsibility lies with the senior officials of the Orumilian Federation and the secret societies that directly control them. I believe that the general is a pure soldier and it is his bounden duty to obey orders. Therefore, we can not pursue the general¡¯s previous actions. "
"Then what do you want?" Elijah looked directly at Lin Rui.
"There is nothing shameful about soldiers obeying orders and making their own meaning. But now that the general has decided to surrender, the general's obligations as a soldier have been fulfilled. We hope that the general can start over and act like an ordinary Orumi man." Identity to participate in our actions." Lin Rui looked at Elijah.
Elijah was silent.
"General, don't rush to answer. I'll ask the general firstOne problem, if you don't have this military status, just an ordinary Orumi people. Which side will you be on in this fight? Is it the federal government or the rebels? Lin Rui asked.
"I don't know, maybe I lost the battle. But I have my pride, and I don't want to join the ranks of criminals." Elijah shook his head.
Iron Hammer shook his head, "No one is a criminal. You know in your heart that those rebel soldiers are not criminals at all. They are just ordinary Orumi people. Just go to the rebel team and ask. Among them Some people are farmers, some are construction workers, and there are even teachers and accountants.
Before the war broke out, at least that was the case. The general looked down upon them and considered them vulnerable. Even when the general first arrived, he had this attitude. What I would tell the general is that maybe they do lack combat skills. Because many of them have never even touched a gun.
They have never been true warriors, but now they have taken up arms and risked their lives to resist the forces that tried to harm them. Who forced them to do this? Who forced farmers, workers, doctors, teachers, and even women into warriors who had to take up guns? "
Elijah nodded, "I know what you want to say. You want to say that we soldiers are all accomplices."
"No, it's not just the soldiers. All those who stand by and watch are de facto accomplices." Tie Zhui shook his head.
"General, our request is also very simple. We can meet all the requirements and conditions you have put forward. But we also need you to formally surrender to us and join our rebel army.
The fight between the federal army and the rebels does not necessarily have to be a fight to the death. We can show them that there are other ways to resolve differences. In many ways, our goals are the same. We can unite and fight against the Secret Society and the Federal Governing Council that controls the Orumi Federation. Lin Rui replied.
"What if I refuse?" Elijah whispered.
"You shouldn't refuse, because a person's pride should not override his conscience. Maybe you think it's a bit nonsense for a rebel leader to tell you these things." Tie Zhui shook his head and said, "But if he is a real soldier, You should understand what I mean.¡±
