The Sun Never Sets In Spain

The fighting site of the Italian and French volunteers soon became the interior of the small town of Alfamba.

The French are unwilling to pay too many casualties when they are not necessary, and their progress has slowed down a lot.

With the help of the residents of the town, they established simple fortifications that slowly but steadily pressed the defense line of the Green Army.

The plight of the Green Army quickly spread to Diego's ears, but the government forces are now struggling to maintain a frontal line of defense, let alone sending people to support the flanks.

"The Italians are really unreliable!" he cursed secretly.

I originally thought that Italy was a real European power after ten years of war.

Unexpectedly, 28,000 people fought 21,000 people, it was still a defensive battle, and was actually crushed and beaten!

But he was so angry that he couldn't take the Italians anymore, not to mention he didn't want to settle accounts with them.

The harsher facts lay before him-the government forces suffered defeat on the frontal battlefield and on the flanks.

If it is just a simple temporary loss, it is acceptable. The big deal is to retreat a little bit, and then slowly wait for the recruits to support and coordinate.

The situation today is different. The government forces are already in turmoil. Those who want to welcome Marshal Prim, those who want to follow Ruben, and those who want to follow Catalonia, are mixed in the army.

Since Ruben's uprising the day before yesterday, they have been waiting for news from the flanks to see if the Italians can perform miracles.

After the results came out, Diego had a hunch that they could no longer be suppressed.

He shook his head, not thinking about the terrible future, only ordered: "Everyone retreat to the second line of defense, cancel all offensive plans!"

He completed all the defensive plans and prepared for the coming storm.

At the same time, Diego was thinking about his own way out, should he go back? There is always someone responsible for such a tragic failure, and oneself is the one responsible.

It's fine if you get beaten up. After the collapse of the free government, you may be liquidated and exiled as a war criminal.

And no one will sympathize with him, people will only remember that he could not beat the inferior forces with superior forces, sit back and watch the large-scale rebellion under his men, and put the family to shame. The ending may be the same as Carlos’ Manuel, or even better than him. awful.

Manuel accepted this ending, does he want to accept it?

If you don’t want to face this kind of future, you have to find a winner. Catalonia has the biggest chance of winning.

To be honest, the traitor is a bit more acceptable than the term trash, at least there is still something to argue about in the future generations, but the loser is irrefutable.

At this point, he called a guard he trusted, asked him to find a reason to leave the position, and contact the Catalan army on the opposite side to see what conditions the opponent would offer.

...

The changes within the army did not exceed Diego's expectations. After learning that the flanks had also failed, people couldn't sit still.

The government army has almost no chance of winning, and coupled with the uprising, the free government is about to collapse, and those who should jump have to jump now.

The various forces have not discussed with each other, but there is still a general tacit understanding. They understand that the government cannot take so many of them. They simply don’t look for opportunities like Ruben, and directly start gathering their supporters in a fair manner. Ignore the military's orders.

Undercurrents within the army surging, the front-line soldiers had no intention of fighting again. They collapsed when touched, and they retired from their current stronghold after symbolically firing two shots. In this case, the city of Teruel was already close at hand.

However, the Catalan army has encountered relatively stubborn resistance here. This city is an important weight for Diego to negotiate terms, and you can't just lose it.

"It's about to win soon...The fellow Diego can't sit still." Garcia laughed, and when he heard the envoy of Diego arrived, he immediately asked him to stop the attack.

The opposing highest commander had all defected, and there was no need to continue to bleed.

"Let the guard in," he said.

After the guards came in, they saluted first, and then directly offered Diego's condition: "To help him reverse the case, the newspapers and officials must declare that failure is not his responsibility.

It also shows that he surrendered for the lives of innocent soldiers and his heart to the orthodox king, not for other reasons.

Still not holding him, his family, and several colleagues to any responsibility.

Finally, Spain will give preferential treatment to his family's industry in the future. "

The guard finished speaking in one breath, and Garcia was a little dazed.

This is almost entirely honorary, and there is no cost to the Catalan government.

Diego, who holds tens of thousands of troops and the great city of Teruel, only has this requirement? He feels unreal.

Upon seeing this, Adolf next to him reminded him: "He probably wants to withdraw from the political and military circles. In the future, he will be an ordinary nobleman and make money."

Garcia nodded, and it made sense after thinking about it. Even if he forced an important position, the Spanish government would definitely be marginalized in the future.

As a nobleman, Diego didn't rely on this job to feed him. It would be inappropriate if he didn't work well. The only thing he cared about was family honor and family business. It was excusable to offer such conditions.

Garcia originally wanted to negotiate, but now there is no need to negotiate. He immediately responded: "Yes, let him restrain the army and make a peaceful handover in three hours."

On the other side, Diego was relieved when he heard Catalonia agreed.

Although he felt that the other party had no reason to refuse this condition, but in case Garcia had his brains dead, it was of great importance and no one would be nervous.

At this time, a few familiar generals ran in and reported to him that he was unable to restrain the army, and asked him to think of a way.

Diago no longer had his previous worries, and said with a smile: "They gathered them, we just listen to our soldiers, and these things will not be my turn to worry about in the future."

After speaking, he seemed to have laid down a heavy burden. The bombs that could explode in the military camp in the past could make him sleep well day and night.

The generals are not stupid, as soon as you hear this, you know that he too has surrendered to the enemy.

In a sense, the rebellion of the Supreme Commander should be called the total surrender, but they still have the power to resist.

One of the generals hesitated and asked, "What about the frontline army? Are they still maintaining the line of defense?"

"No." Diego shook his head: "No accident, now the Catalan army has ceased fire.

Gather them together so as not to run with others, pack them up and deliver them to Catalonia in three hours. "
