The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

Chapter 41 Persuading Surrender

While Irelia and Darius are having a decisive battle in the Aya Mountains, the Revolutionary Army is about to launch a new round of operations in the direction of the Deya Kingdom.

With the help of the people in the base area, the Red Flag Army annihilated the Deya Kingdom Army. Crow, who was in charge of the military command in this direction, also pursued the remaining fleeing Deya Kingdom Army after the battle.

By the time the battle was over, except for a few who escaped, most of the Deya Kingdom's troops were either captured or annihilated.

After annihilating most of the enemy's main forces, the Crows, under the command of the Front Committee, prepared to launch a new round of offensive against the Kingdom of Deya.

In this case, a general of the Kingdom of Deya captured by the revolutionary army would be of considerable value.

If we can get some information from him, the revolutionary army can end the war in the shortest time and with the lowest cost.

Unfortunately, the general of the Deya Kingdom was quite tough, which made the intelligence department of the Revolutionary Army helpless for a while.

However, this incident also attracted the attention and attention of Maan, so Maan decided to persuade Galen in person. Under the leadership of the revolutionary soldiers, Maan took his assistant Lacus to try to persuade Galen.

As the commander-in-chief of the Deya Kingdom's army, Galen was held solitary in a small hut. When Marn saw him, Galen was sitting quietly in his seat with his eyes closed.

"Hello, General Galen, my name is Ma En, and I am the person in charge of the base now." Ma En said while sitting opposite to Galen.

Garen slowly opened his eyes and stared at the young man who was smiling at him, as if he wanted to see what kind of ability the young man had that could create such a large force in a short period of time and defeat him on the frontal battlefield.

After the two looked at each other, Galen sighed and said, "Mr. Maan, I know what you want to do, but I'm afraid I have to reject your kindness.

Now all I have left is the honor of being a soldier. I hope you will not deprive me of the final meaning of my life."

Ma En did not try to persuade him, but just smiled and listened to Galen's refusal. Ma En learned from intelligence that Galen, the commander-in-chief of the Deya Kingdom's army, was a potential revolutionary worth winning over.

"I would like to ask you, General Galen, why do you want to be a soldier?" Ma En did not rush to persuade, but asked a question.

Garen looked a little disheartened and said, "As for me, I wanted to protect my family at first, so I joined the army and became a soldier. Finally, I worked my way up to my current position as a general.

Haha, it's a pity that I still failed to protect my family. In the end, I continued on the path of a soldier, probably to avoid such tragedies, to protect more people, and to prevent tragedies from happening again.

Now it seems that all my efforts over the past few years are not as good as yours, Mr. Maen! The revolutionary army has brought more changes to the entire island in just a few months than I can do in my entire life!"

Seeing Garen covering his face with one hand and looking like he was about to cry, Marn knew that this general of the Deya Kingdom had indeed spoken his true feelings, and the next step was to keep up the good work.

"General Galen, have you ever thought about why you lost this war?" Ma En asked.

After hearing Marn's question, Garen calmed down. This was also the question that had puzzled him since he was captured. Perhaps now he could get the answer to the question from the supreme leader of the enemy opposite him.

"Since the start of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in our party's base area, it has only taken a very short time for your army to reach the end of its rope. After being surrounded, you still intended to hold on and wait for help. After holding on was hopeless, you also tried to break out of our encirclement.

However, this is impossible. You are surrounded by revolutionary troops on all sides. How can you break out? Even if your army has good weapons, more cannons are useless. No matter how good the weapons are, they still need people to operate them.

Under our layers of encirclement and heavy attacks, you can only retreat to the camp. Now, the main force of the Deya Kingdom's army has been completely wiped out. In a short period of time, the Deya Kingdom can no longer organize a large-scale and experienced army to fight.

It can be said that the current situation of the entire Kingdom of Deya is unstoppable for the revolution, and anyone who dares to stand in the way of the people will be crushed.”

What Marx and Engels said was to first explain the reasons for the revolutionary army's victory from a tactical perspective, and then the real core.

"Alas, I also know that the situation on the battlefield is deteriorating day by day, but as the commander-in-chief, I am powerless and can only fall into a passive situation step by step." Hearing the process of defeat again, Garen was powerless to refute.

"However, what I said above is only the surface of the matter. Haven't you seen the truth of the matter yet?" Ma En said.

"I have some guesses, but I can't believe them now," Galen replied.

"General, you should have understood our party's doctrine. This ideology is the guarantee for our army's continuous victory.

The soldiers of the revolutionary army knew why they were fighting, and the people in the base areas also knew that they were fighting for victory. All this was the power of thought.

General Galen, to be honest, your ability to command a war is not weak. Unfortunately, you met our army. All the people in the base and the soldiers of the revolutionary army know why they are fighting.

They are all for themselves, for tomorrow, and for a better future. The Red Flag Army formed by our party represents the direction in the hearts of the people.

We support any Red Banner Army that is beneficial to the people and oppose any Red Banner Army that is harmful to the people. With such a doctrine and such a spirit, how could the people in the base areas not support it?

With the support of the people, how could the revolutionary army not win? I would like to ask you, why are your soldiers fighting? Do they think the same as you? "

"Thoughts?" The more Garen heard, the more he thought about it. He asked himself honestly that the revolutionary army's beliefs were something the Deya Kingdom's army could never catch up with.

"I became a soldier to fight for a better world, to prevent the tragedy that happened to my loved ones from happening again.

I really did something wrong. I didn’t expect that in the end, I would end up being the opposite of myself. Unfortunately, it has already happened and it’s too late. I don’t know how to face my loved ones. "Galen said to himself.

“No, General Galen, you still have a chance to make amends.

Now our army is about to pursue the victory and liberate the entire Deya Kingdom, and your old subordinate General Zhao Xin has been reappointed to resist our army.

I hope you can consider from the perspective of the people and write a letter to General Zhao Xin, asking him to stop serving the nobles of the Kingdom of Deya.

When the war breaks out, it will save a lot of unnecessary sacrifices for both sides, and the Kingdom of Deya will be able to usher in changes and vitality earlier. "After speaking, Ma En stared at Galen.
