I think Erwin is just having a crisis of conscience. All the sacrificing and gambling with humanity's fate appears to be finally getting to him. Like Zackly said, Erwin's sense of duty is harsh. During his conversation with Zackly in the carriage, Erwin basically started to say that if he truly valued humanity over his own life, then he would have trusted the government. That makes no sense, since we know the government cares more for itself than for humanity. Erwin sounds like he's simply beginning to be worn down by everything that's happened.

I mean if Erwin truly cared more for his own life than humanity, then he wouldn't have been fine with getting killed during the Eren retrieval mission. Like he says to a soldier go on without me there's a replacement waiting.
