    Moscow fell, Stalin committed suicide, and the Soviet Union existed in name only.  Since the news spread, a large number of government personnel and Bolsheviks have fled in areas temporarily controlled by Soviet Russia. As the Chinese and Russian coalition forces quickly continued to advance northwest after capturing Moscow, cities that had lost their will to resist surrendered.  When China and Russia officially issued a statement to persuade them to surrender, even the last few Red Army units and organized areas in the northwest laid down their weapons.  Since early September, the Chinese and Russian coalition forces have recaptured Yaroslavl, St. Petersburg, Petrozachik and other major cities.

    By late September, on September 28, the war was finally over as the last resistance to the Soviet government was wiped out in the north.  On the same day, the Orthodox Government of the Russian Empire returned its capital to Moscow, thus removing the word "Orthodox" and changing its name from the Provisional Government to the Russian Imperial Government.

    During the Tsarist period, Russia had two capitals, one was Moscow and the other was St. Petersburg.  In the late Romanov Dynasty, due to the personal preference of the Tsar, he lived in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg for many years. Therefore, from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, St. Petersburg gradually replaced Moscow as the political center and became the first capital of Tsarist Russia.

    After the outbreak of the Red Revolution, the newly established Soviet government renamed its capital Moscow to distinguish it from the Romanov dynasty.  Now that the war has been victorious and the Soviet regime has been wiped out, the Russian Imperial Government originally considered keeping St. Petersburg as its capital. One reason was that this place was the first capital before the Romanov dynasty, and the other reason was that Moscow was severely damaged by the war after the war.  Especially the fire that Stalin set before his death almost burned down half of the Kremlin. For these two considerations, the cabinet members felt that it was more appropriate to return to St. Petersburg.

    But at this time, as the empress made the final decision, she insisted on returning the capital to Moscow instead of choosing St. Petersburg.  Despite the advice of the cabinet, Her Majesty the Queen still refused to change this decision and personally issued a royal order to return the capital to Moscow.

    In this way, the choice of the capital was finally decided on Moscow.  Although after a month of preparation.  But when the Empress of the Empire and her cabinet members came to Moscow and saw the desolate and incomplete palace destroyed by fire, they couldn't help but sigh.  But in any case, with the end of the war and the return of the Russian Imperial Government, the war continued, and Russia, which had been suffering from difficulties, finally calmed down.

    ??In the case of Huadu, the Queen's stubbornness made the members of the Imperial Cabinet very confused.  However, Fang Zida, who was far away in China, revealed the secret.  In his opinion, the Queen's move was very smart. Moscow, whether as the capital before the Tsarist Empire or the capital of the Soviet government, has an irreplaceable position in the entire Russia.  Moreover.  Although the war is about to end.  But Russia as a whole was not completely calm.  The main force of the Soviet resistance was eliminated, but there were still some die-hards hiding in some places, trying to make a comeback.

The Queen will use this method to tell her subjects that she will be with them to rebuild their homeland and bring Russia to a true future.  The road to revival.

    The war is basically over, but with the end of the war.  Some issues that had not been revealed before the war also began to be faced by all parties.

    The Eastern European Allied Forces, that is, the Allied Forces led by Poland, took advantage of the fierce fighting between the Sino-Russian Allied Forces and the Soviet Red Army to launch an attack on Soviet Russia.  By the time the war came to an end, the Eastern European coalition forces had captured 50% of the territory of Belarus and more than 40% of Ukraine, and made demands to China and Russia to redefine the national borders based on the occupied areas.

    "The lion's opening of the Eastern European coalition immediately angered the queen, and she rejected this unreasonable request without any hesitation before the Chinese government responded.  The Queen's rejection.  The Eastern European coalition forces did not care at all. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Russian government was not able to intervene in Belarus and Ukraine, they continued to increase troops to the occupied areas. At the same time, they sent people to collect and plunder resources such as factories and mines in the two places, and appointed local officials to step up construction.  fortifications to achieve the effect of a fait accompli.

    In this regard, the Queen was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do.  After the war, the Russian Imperial Government also suffered a large number of military losses. Although it ultimately won, facing the vast Russian territory after the war, the government forces had to continue to encircle and suppress the remnants on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also had to station guards in various places.  .  Coupled with relieving victims, rebuilding homes, etc., the Russian Empire simply could not reach out to solve the problem of the Eastern European coalition forces. For this reason, the Queen urgently sought help from her ally, the Chinese government, hoping that the Chinese could help her again.

    Regarding this situation, Fang Zida decided to deal with the problem in a harmonious way after careful consideration.  Although in the Sino-Soviet War, China and the Russian Empire?Allies, but Fang Zida knows very well that there are never any true friends in this world. Today's allies may be tomorrow's mortal enemies, and national interests are supreme.

    It is in China¡¯s interest to support the Russian Empire and overthrow the Soviet regime.  It is also in China's interest to weaken the strength of the Russian Empire after the war so that it cannot pose a new threat to China in the north.  Fang Zida is not a saint, let alone a good person who makes selfless sacrifices. He is a politician who only cares about profit. In this regard, he sees it very clearly and has already made his own plans.

    ¡°Given the strength China demonstrated in this war, today¡¯s Chinese government has truly become one of the world¡¯s powerful countries.  The country's strength and the dividends of the war have made China's international position much thicker. Even the old powers, such as Britain and France, have changed their original attitudes. It is no longer possible to look at this with the original eyes.  The Eastern Empire.

    Regarding the territorial dispute between the Eastern European coalition forces and the Russian Empire, Fang Zida asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express goodwill to the Russian Empire and the Queen, verbally condemned this despicable behavior of the Eastern European coalition forces, and expressed sympathy for the situation of the Russian Empire.  However, the Chinese government also pointed out that the Chinese National Defense Forces also suffered huge losses due to the Sino-Soviet war. Although the war was ultimately victorious, it also caused great damage to the Chinese government's economy.

    After the war, the Chinese government will withdraw its troops in batches as previously agreed to reduce the financial burden.  Moreover, the coalition issues of the Eastern European countries are different from those of the Soviet Union. In any case, they were allies in the Sino-Soviet War just like the Russian Empire. We should still sit down and discuss the territorial issues. There is no need to turn around and argue with ourselves.  If the National People's Congress fights, it will not be in China's interests. It will also isolate the newly revived Russian Empire internationally.

    In view of the continuous wars that have occurred in various regions of the world since the European War, the Chinese government proposed to all countries in the world to establish an international alliance to prevent the outbreak of large-scale wars in the future.  The purpose of this organization is to reduce the number of weapons, calm international disputes and maintain people's living standards, and help mediate certain international disputes and deal with certain international issues.  The most important thing at the moment is to resolve the immediate territorial issues between the Eastern European Allied Forces and the Russian Empire.

    For this initiative put forward by the Chinese, Western powers that have already started to establish such organizations have expressed their approval. Some major powers have sent envoys to Moscow, Belarus, Ukraine and other regions to try to persuade and negotiate a peaceful settlement with the other party.

    As a result, the tense mood between the two sides gradually eased. First of all, the Eastern European Allied Forces, as puppets of Western countries, exerted influence on this matter due to the political considerations of their masters behind them, which made the Eastern European Allied Forces make a "friendly" decision.  decision - partial withdrawal of troops.

    Half a month later, the Eastern European coalition forces began to partially withdraw their troops to the west, voluntarily giving up more than 70% of the territory in the occupied areas.  But at the same time, they also proposed local autonomy and retained the local officials and governments they appointed. The reason was that in order to prevent Tsarist Russia from invading Eastern European countries again in the future, it was necessary to obtain reliable guarantees and a regional buffer between the two sides.

    Although the Queen was helpless about this situation, she finally gritted her teeth and took a step back.  She agreed that a new League of Nations organization would coordinate territorial issues, but it must first ensure that Belarus and Ukraine could not separate from the Russian Empire.  In addition, some of the territory of Eastern European countries occupied during the Tsarist era can be appropriately returned, but Eastern European countries must also make certain economic compensation to the Russian Empire to restore production and rebuild Russia.

    This is a condition that is acceptable to both parties on the surface, but there is still a lot of work to be done.  Fang Zida has no interest in paying attention to these, because he has handed over the work to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Foreign Minister Cao Rulin will send people to Europe to form the League of Nations organization, serve as representatives of member states, and be responsible for the details of specific negotiations.

    In mid-October, with the end of the war, the Chinese National Defense Forces began to withdraw their troops.  Of course, according to the pre-war agreement, although the Chinese government paid a lot in this war, it also achieved huge dividends.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the Tsarist era is just a matter of taking back a large area of ????land that has been occupied since the Tsarist era has already made the people happy.  In the past two months, the victory of the war caused cheers in the country, and the prestige of Fang Zida's government reached an unprecedented peak.  Since 1840, after 82 long years, China has finally stood up again. The sleeping lion mentioned by Napoleon has woken up. The Chinese have won the respect and fear they deserve in an attitude that shocked the world.

    In addition to territory, according to the Sino-Russian alliance agreement, the Chinese government will help the Russian Empire rebuild its homeland. At the same time, the Chinese National Defense Force also has the right to station troops and other privileges in some places in Russia. In particular, the Chinese government has also won the oil exploration rights in the Serov area.  The acquisition of oil fields has put the final bottleneck in China's development and take-off.The neck has been resolved, and it is conceivable that the future is smooth in Fang Zida's eyes.
