I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 1485 - Unconditional Surrender!

Chapter 1485: Unconditional Surrender!

After Mike Pence and other senior officials were captured, the entire central command system was completely paralyzed.

Unless a very charismatic political leader stood up at this time to gain the recognition of the people, and re-establish the federal government, the scattered National Guards of each state and the regular forces that just lost their brains would not be able to withstand the onslaught of Celestial Trade.

After Cheyenne Mountain Complex, which was impossible to lose, was lost, failure became inevitable.

In front of Celestial Trade’s muzzles, Mike Pence certainly considered using his last courage to write this piece of history with his own blood, and it could be regarded as atonement for his mistakes. However, to his surprise, the soldiers of Celestial Trade did not make it difficult for him, nor did they make him press his hands on the agreement.

A Celestial Trade officer walked to him, handed a Future phone as well as an agreement to him, then took two steps back and, watched him with both hands behind his back.

Through the thin screen, he saw a man in the middle of the empty conference room. Mike Pence’s pupils constricted slightly when he saw the familiar face, the face that he could never forget…

It was Jiang Chen who had called him.

“This war has gone on long enough. We offer two options.”

Without any nonsense, Jiang Chen raised a finger and put forward his conditions with directness.

“First, you represent the federal government and surrender to us unconditionally.”

“That’s impossible,” Mike Pence refused without hesitation.

The so-called unconditional surrender meant that the victorious country would only be constrained by public perception and humility of civilization, while the defeated country would be subject to strict legal restrictions, it meant that the defeated country would have to follow the instructions and orders of the victorious country without any resistance. In addition, the victorious country would not recognize any political power of the original government, political organizations, and leaders of the defeated country. From the time the defeated country surrendered to the establishment of normal relations with the victorious country, the functions of the government of the defeated country would be performed by the head of the garrison of the victorious country.

For example, if Celestial Trade made the UA destroy all its nuclear weapons, the UA would not even have the power to say no.

Jiang Chen didn’t say anything and just raised his second finger.

“The second option is that our tungsten rods have been reloaded. Next, we will implement strategic strikes on strategic facilities such as the Great Lakes Industrial Area, the S City Industrial Area, the H City Industrial Area, and the T State Oil Field. At the same time, twenty strategic EMP missiles will be launched to the entire West Coast, completely destroying the national power grid and Internet communications, and turn back the clock from the digital age to the early atomic age.

When Jiang Chen said these points, he paused for a moment, enjoyed the expression on Mike Pence’s face, and then continued softly.

“Then, we will allow you to surrender conditionally, and maybe I will generously provide you with a humanitarian aid loan of no more than one billion Xin New dollars.”

“You demon…” Mike Pence said with a trembling voice as the Adam’s apple in his throat moved up and down.

“Someone seemed to describe me like that not long ago, but I must emphasize that we are just doing what you did to us,” Jiang Chen looked at the watch in front of him, and then said in a non-negotiable tone. “You have two hours to consider your options. I’ll allow you to discuss with your staff.”

Although Jiang Chen’s choice of words made it sound like he was negotiating, his tone did not carry any hint of negotiation at all.

…

Either surrender or accept destruction.

Although he wanted to avoid the last option at all costs, the earth civilization faced issues far more serious than its own. To defend the invasion of Harmony, the industrial power and economic strength of the UA were necessary.

But Jiang Chen did not plan to negotiate with Mike Pence on this.

If these forces could not be of help to the Earth Defense Alliance in the resistance against extraterrestrial civilization, then the least he could do was to prevent them from being hindrances…

…

Mike Pence had no choice at all.

After he discussed with his staff for an hour, he walked into the conference room with a grave expression.

The officer who sat across from him was still the same officer, and Jiang Chen’s name had already been signed on the agreement. After he had picked up his pen, he tremblingly signed his name at the end.

Just two hours after the signing of the surrender agreement, just one hour after the emba.s.sies of different countries in Xin and the emba.s.sies in the UA received announcements about surrender, the news of the surrender spread across the world.

In a city located in a small town in Asia, a family was having dinner in front of the TV. The weather forecast was suddenly interrupted by breaking news. The host broadcasted the news in a relaxed and serious tone.

“…Last night at 12:20, Celestial Trade Special Forces launched an attack on the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in C State. The UA President Mike Pence and several officials were captured. Just two hours ago, our reporter in the Capital has confirmed that the news is true. As the aggressor in this war, the UA has announced its unconditional surrender…

The chopsticks that reached for the plate stopped, and the family was stunned by the news.

“The UA surrendered?”

“How could that be…”

“This must be fake news. How could the UA lose?” The young man in his twenties pushed up his gla.s.ses, dismissed the content in the news, and acted like he knew a lot, “I remember there was a battle in C City yesterday. Once the UA has completed the war mobilization, with its strong industrial capabilities and huge reserves, Xin will definitely be defeated!”

“This is great news, back in the days, I…” The old grandpa did not hear what his grandson said clearly, he was only excited and sighed with melancholy as he recalled those difficult years when he falsely reported his age, enlisted in the army, and crossed the Yalu River.

“Eat, eat, who cares what’s happening on the other side of the Pacific Ocean…”

The family chatted, laughed, and continued to eat. Although the grandfather and grandson were still debating, none of them really took this matter to heart. If there was someone who really needed to worry, it was their neighbor Little w.a.n.g. He got an offer from the University of W State two months ago, now he planned to apply to the global admissions of Coro University. Unfortunately, the dollars he exchanged could no longer come back…

In the foreign exchange market, the Xin New dollar had grown exponentially, and many people became rich overnight, and many people regret the fact that they missed the opportunity.

The UA dollar seemed to have fallen to the trench bottom. On the contrary, because the expectation of defeat was fulfilled, the fallen dollar and plummeted stock indices actually saw a slight rebound because the war ended early.

Not everyone willingly accepted such an outcome. For example, T State and other inland states announced that they did not recognize the federal government’s legitimacy, deployed lines of defense along the highway, and were determined to resist to the end.

“T State refuses to surrender, let the softies of the Capital surrender! We will defend the flag to the last minute and shed the last drop of blood for the Statue of Freedom!” A certain red neck roared into the reporter’s camera.

Regardless if they accepted the reality or not, the Celestial Trade Army and Moro soldiers moving into the inland military bases would eventually show them the reality. Procedures such as post-war reparations and the trial of war criminals were all put on the agenda.

First, the trial of the defeated would be held at the Supreme Court in Capital…

At the same time, an admiral, who was supposed to be dead, piloted a two-seater modified Mustang P51 under the direction of Jiang Chen and flew towards the West Coast.
