    "Victory! Victory!"

    The usually personable Yang Du was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic today. After getting out of the car, he rushed into the State Council and yelled. While shouting, he ran all the way to Fang Zida's office. Even the folding fan that never left his hand had been thrown to him.  , waving a telegram in his hand, his face full of ecstasy.

    With a bang, Yang Du rushed into Fang Zida's office, and regardless of the fact that Fang Zida was talking to others, he shouted loudly: "We won! We won! Moscow was won!"

    "real?"

    Although he had expected it, Fang Zida still stood up suddenly after hearing the news and asked in surprise and joy.

    "The telegram just received! Our army has captured Moscow, wiped out countless enemies, and won the battle of Moscow!"

    He hurriedly took the telegram and looked at it carefully. After a few glances, Zida's brows relaxed completely and an ecstatic smile appeared on his face.

    "Lao Ju! We won! Good news, really good news!" After reading the telegram, Fang Zida turned around and said to the people on the side. Only then did Yang Du realize that the person standing beside him was actually Xu Shichang.

    Since Yuan Shikai¡¯s death, Xu Shichang, a senior presidential counselor, submitted his resignation to the central government. However, due to Fang Zida¡¯s efforts to retain him, Xu Shichang stayed in this position for another year until Fang Zida fully sat on the throne of prime minister and asked for his resignation again.

    Fang Zida was very reluctant to give up on this and invited Xu Shichang to serve as state advisor. However, Xu Shichang still declined Fang Zida's kindness on the grounds of old age, illness and lack of energy.  In fact, Fang Zida also knew that Xu Shichang did this because he did not want to block his own reform path. You must know that as long as Xu Shichang, a Beiyang boss, is still in the Central Committee, there will naturally be some disciples who will stir up troubles in his name. This opponent  Zida's implementation of the New Deal will bring great obstacles.  Moreover, he retreated like this.  It also gave a signal to the Beiyang Department, that is, Xu Shichang clearly supported Fang Zida.

    In gratitude for everything Xu Shichang had done for him, Fang Zida finally let him serve as state counselor, but changed his actual position to a virtual one, and arranged a good place for him in Baoding.  I spend my days cultivating myself, planting flowers and plants, etc. After a few years, my complexion is much better than before.

    Hearing Yang Du¡¯s excited shouts, Xu Shichang¡¯s heart was as excited as a river.  For many years, since the Opium War, China, the old empire, has been opened by Western countries with gunboats.  As a result, they were bullied, ceded territory, and paid compensation  In the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, Beiyang responded to the situation. The Beiyang Fleet was once the first fleet in the Far East, and the Beiyang Army was the most elite army in the Far East. It seems that under these honors.  The rise of the country was just around the corner, but the First Sino-Japanese War completely shattered all these. Decades and generations of efforts were all in vain. As a Beiyang veteran, Xu Shichang dreamed of washing away the shame and making the country strong again in his lifetime.

    A few years ago, the Sino-Japanese local war ended in a ceasefire between the two sides.  But for Xu Shichang, it is already a remarkable achievement.  You must know that in the past century, this was the only war in China's foreign wars that did not cede territory and pay compensation, and it was also a draw.  On the day when the armistice agreement came, Xu Shichang, who had not drank for a long time, even had a few drinks at home happily.

    Seeing the country becoming stronger and stronger day by day, Xu Shichang felt extremely emotional. This was also one of the main reasons why he supported Fang Zida after Yuan Shikai's death.  Because in Fang Zida, Xu Shichang saw the hope of China's rise.

    And today, this day has finally arrived.  From the moment the Sino-Soviet war broke out, Xu Shichang, like all Chinese, was watching this war with both hope and anxiety.  When it was learned from Yang Du that the Sino-Russian coalition forces had occupied Moscow and eliminated the last strength of the Soviet Red Army.  Xu Shichang could no longer suppress his inner excitement. He held the telegram in his slightly trembling hands and read it over and over again. Two lines of old tears fell involuntarily.

    "WeitingWeiting! Did you see it? Did you hear it? We won! We finally won!"

    "Mr. JuMr. Ju!" Xu Shichang was already old. Seeing his excitement, Fang Zida and Yang Du quickly comforted him.  And helped him sit down.

    Gradually calming down, Xu Shichang took out his handkerchief and wiped away his tears: "Zhangming, Xizi, I made you laugh."

    "Painting horns mourn the sea and the moon, conquering clothes and curling up the frost in the sky. Swinging the blade to kill Loulan, bending the bow to shoot the wise king" Yang Du softly picked up Li Bai's poem, shook his head and said: "When I first heard the good news, Yang couldn't control himself.  , sad! happy! happy and sad at the same time!"

    Fang Zida and Xu Shichang nodded slightly. Yang Du's words really expressed their mood at this time. Victory is exciting and worthy of joy, but looking back at the difficulties of a hundred years is sad.  But everything has passed. This victory will allow China to stand up again in the world.?Be proud of the East and create a new glory.

    "By the way, where did this telegram come from? Have you received the battle report from the General Staff?" After sighing, Fang Zida then remembered to ask about the telegram sent by Yang Du. Yang Du smiled and said: "The telegram was sent directly from the front line.  It was sent here, and I happened to be at the General Staff Headquarters at the time, because there were still follow-up content that was still being translated, so I hurried over as soon as I saw the successful report. It is estimated that the official battle report had already reached the General Staff Headquarters by this time."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on Fang Zida's desk rang. He stood up and picked up the phone. After listening to a few words and hanging up, Fang Zida turned back to Yang Du and Xu Shichang and said with a smile: "Wu Ziyu's call. He will come to the State Council immediately. It seems that  The official battle report has arrived. Xizi, please immediately notify the cabinet ministers and deputy ministers in Beijing to come over for a meeting."

    "Okay, I'll go right away!" Yang Du stood up quickly, and Xu Shichang also stood up. He knew that there would be an important cabinet meeting next, and needless to say, the content of the meeting was focused on this war.  He has retired now and it is inconvenient to stay here, so he is ready to say goodbye to Fang Zida.

    "It's okay, Mr. Ju, you stay. You must attend this meeting. Not only you, but also Mr. Duan Zhi and Mr. Wang Pin, I am also going to invite them to attend. Although this is a victory for the current government, it also has  The credit of you old-timers is a victory for all Chinese people! What¡¯s more, although we have won this war in a sense, there are still many things to deal with next, especially the division of power after the war.  The interests of the Chinese government in this, etc., also involve the reactions of Western countries. You are all the elders of the country, so please give more suggestions in this regard."

    Xu Shichang thought for a while, nodded with a smile and said: "Since Zhang Ming has this request, then I, an old man like me, can't just sit idly by. Okay! I agree to this matter."

    "Okay!" Fang Zida smiled broadly and quickly picked up the phone and called Yang Yongtai, asking him to immediately send someone to pick up Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen and invite them to attend the meeting.

    From the early morning of March 12, 1922 to four o'clock in the afternoon on August 20, the Sino-Soviet War, which was second only to the European War in terms of scale, number of participants, and casualties, finally came to an end.  In the early morning of the next day, the Chinese government and the Russian Imperial Government officially announced to the world that the Sino-Russian coalition forces captured Moscow, the capital of the Soviet government, on the evening of August 20. The entire war annihilated and captured more than 3.7 million Soviet Red Army soldiers, achieving the final victory.  victory.

    On August 21, the Russian Imperial Government announced that the government would first move from the Far East to the central city of Perm, and would return the capital after the situation in Moscow stabilized.  At the same time, various government forces took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and continued to advance in all directions to the west and north in order to completely eliminate the remaining Bolshevik elements and complete the revival of the Russian Empire.

    On the same day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defense, and General Staff of the Chinese government also confirmed the statement of the Russian Imperial Government and issued a statement to the areas that had not been recovered by Soviet Russia.  Due to the occupation of Moscow and Stalin's ignition of the Kremlin, coupled with the capture of all members of the Supreme Soviet, the Soviet Union had completely failed in this war.  In order to reduce unnecessary casualties and transition from war to peace as soon as possible, the resistance forces in various regions of the former Soviet Union are required to lay down their weapons and surrender to the coalition forces. The Chinese and Russian coalition forces guarantee the safety of life and property of the surrendering troops, except for a small number who were killed during the purges and counter-revolutionaries.  Except for members who have committed crimes against the people, all ordinary soldiers and civilians will be pardoned by the Allied Forces Command and the Queen.
