"Of course not."

"Then give up your dangerous idea!" Wolfgang growled and let go of his hand.

"But that's right, isn't it?"

"What right or wrong? I only know that anyone who attempts to compromise will be killed by the emperor! More than one person was killed in the meeting that day! So today, all the military personnel were gathered in the Imperial Castle, just for..." Wolfgang was saying this.

"This shows that there are still people who are rational and know that in the current situation, the best way to maintain national stability is to end the war as soon as possible." Dinggel interrupted.

"Stop saying such polite words! The Yan people are now in the upper hand, and any compromise we make would essentially mean surrender! Don't try to deny it! I know what you are thinking, and I know what those people are thinking!" Wolfgang stared.

Dingell said word by word: "If surrender can end this war, allow the country to overcome the crisis and restore social stability, then we should do so."

After hearing this, Wolfgang was shocked and angry:

"How could you say such a thing?"

"How can you talk about surrender so easily? Do you have the dignity of a soldier? Have you ever considered it from the perspective of the country? Or do you not care at all and just want to be a coward and take surrender for granted? I know that the Yan army is strong, but we, the Gothic people, will never surrender in the face of a strong enemy!"

Dinger looked at Wolfgang and said expressionlessly: "So the Emperor is considering this from a national perspective now?"

"Of course! That's why we call on everyone to join the war! Defeat the powerful enemies and make them get out of our land!" Wolfgang looked grim.

"Is it possible? And how much will it cost?"

"Now there are powerful enemies outside and unrest inside. People have questioned the army and are afraid of war. If the emperor really puts the country in the most important position, shouldn't he face the reality, make choices, and protect the people?" Dinggel said coldly.

The words fell.

"You are deceiving yourself! It cannot conceal the fact that you want us to surrender in humiliation! You want to kneel down before the Yan people! Let our nation become slaves driven by the Yan people!" Wolfgang pointed at Dingel's face and cursed with gritted teeth.

Dinger remained calm and said:

"Whether it will turn out as you said, no one of us knows now."

"But the clear fact is that we can no longer afford to waste time. If the war continues for another year or so, the country will fall apart. Not to mention that we cannot defeat the Yan people now, we also have constant internal problems. I know that General Paddington and General Shelly's troops are maintaining stability in the east and north, and the remnants of the Kosovo Empire are creating riots and tying down our troops."

"The fall of Soenham Province has caused us to lose a large number of military factories. The shortage of weapons resources is about to become an imminent and thorny problem. The longer the war lasts, the more serious the problem will be."

"If these thorny practical problems cannot be solved, what's the point of just shouting slogans? Before the war can no longer be resolved by war, we should face the reality and negotiate with the Yan people in exchange for conditions for a truce."

Wolfgang shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"You must always remember that we, the Gothic people, will never surrender. We have come from iron and blood. The will of our ancestors will always exist in our blood. Before the invasion of the Yan people ends, we will continue to invest troops to fight them, even if..."

As Wolfgang was talking about this, Dinger suddenly stood up, looked at Wolfgang face to face, and said coldly:

"First there was the military defeat, which has already happened, and then there was the loss of important strategic resources and territory, which has also become a reality."

"The riots created by the rebels are getting worse and worse. The people are incited because they are dissatisfied with the status quo. You can't turn a blind eye to these things, nor can you pretend to be confused and think that the problems are caused by the rebels."

I don’t know whether to say it’s lucky or unfortunate, the invasion of the Yan people has only been less than two months from the end of the year to today, so our economic and social system has not completely collapsed, but you can’t ignore that it is about to collapse. ”

"This war cannot be stopped. The final outcome will only be the disappearance of national order, culture, values, and everything else, and ultimately a ruined country."

After these words fell, Wolfgang's face turned slightly pale and he slowly sat back in his chair.

Although he wanted to refute, Wolfgang knew that what Dingel said was true. As an army field marshal, he knew more deeply how difficult the current situation of the army was.

The front lines suffered disastrous defeats one after another, and the defeated troops could not even evacuate. They were almost all annihilated. Every battle with the Yan Kingdom was accompanied by unimaginable huge casualties.

This not only made the people lose their sense of security, but also put them in a state of panic, and even the army in the rear was greatly affected. Whether it was the soldiers or officers, after seeing the fierce fighting on the front line, where there was no chance of survival, their morale dropped to an unprecedented level.

It was precisely because of this that someone proposed negotiating a truce at that meeting.

Wolfgang sighed and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

At this moment, Dingle reached into his arms, took out the letter written by Dylan to von Paalen, and handed it to Wolfgang.

"Hmm?" Wolfgang looked at the letter handed to him, raised his head and looked at Dingle.

"I was originally entrusted with delivering the letter General Dylan wrote before his death to the Emperor."

"But I have already read the contents of the letter. As for whether it needs to be forwarded to the emperor, I think I can only make a decision after you have finished reading it." Dinggel said.

Wolfgang frowned, suppressed his annoyance, took the letter and began to read.

Dinger did not speak again, but waited quietly for Wolfgang to finish reading. After a while, when Wolfgang finished reading the letter, his face looked extremely ugly.

He looked at Dingle and shook the letter in his hand:

"Are you sure you didn't write this?"

"The letter is stamped with General Dylan's seal. I didn't have the foresight to steal it in advance, and there was no need to write the letter in his name." Dingle raised his eyebrows.

"Then...what does he mean..." Wolfgang's expression became even uglier.

"What do you mean? Isn't it clearly written? General Dylan explained the impact of this war from many angles and also gave his suggestions and opinions. I hope the emperor can seriously consider it. Truce and compromise are the best ways." Dinggel said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Wolfgang had a bitter look on his face. He closed the letter and shook his head, saying, "Dylan must want to be shot for writing such a letter."

Dingle's face darkened:

"General Dilan has fought for our country to the very end, at the cost of his life, and the soldiers of the Sixth Army have also fought with all their might."

"And now, General Dilan has made his thoughts clear. Our country and nation must not perish, even if it means we will be conquered."

"And between perishing and being conquered, is this a difficult choice?"

Dingle looked at Wolfgang, but Wolfgang was speechless.

"I believe this is not a difficult choice, because you just need to go out and listen to the voices of the people, instead of just believing in the emperor's ideas and taking his personal thoughts as the will of the entire nation or even the entire country."

"Personal thoughts will always change over time due to unpredictable external influences."

"Just like now, if the emperor is leading our country to the abyss, should we correct it immediately or sink together?"

Having said that, Dinger bent down, put a hand on Wolfgang's shoulder, looked into his evasive eyes and said word by word:

“I believe the people will give the answer.”
