Years of the Republic of China 1913

"Victory! Victory!"

Yang Du, who is usually very personable, was uncharacteristic today. After getting out of the car, he rushed into the State Council and yelled. , waving a telegram in his hand, his face was full of ecstasy.

With a bang, Yang Du rushed into Fang Zida's office, ignoring that Fang Zida was talking with someone, he shouted loudly: "We won! We won! Moscow has been won!"

"Really?"

Although he had expected it a long time ago, after hearing the news, Fang Zida stood up abruptly 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 read it carefully. After a few glances, Fang Zida's brows completely relaxed, and an ecstatic smile appeared on his face.

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

After Yuan Shikai's death, Xu Shichang, the senior presidential councilor, submitted his resignation to the central government. However, because of Fang Zida's efforts to persuade him to stay, Xu Shichang stayed in this position for another year, until Fang Zida completely sat on the prime minister's throne and asked him to resign bravely.

Fang Zida was very reluctant about this, and tried his best to invite Xu Shichang to be the state adviser, but Xu Shichang still declined Fang Zida's kindness on the grounds of old age, sickness and lack of energy.In fact, Fang Zida also knew that Xu Shichang did this because he did not want to stand in the way of his own reform. You must know that as long as Xu Shichang, who is a big brother of Beiyang, is still in the central government, some disciples will naturally make troubles under his banner for a long time. Zida's implementation of the New Deal will bring great obstacles.Moreover, his retreat like this also gave a signal to the Beiyang Department.That is Xu Shichang supported Fang Zida with a clear attitude.

In order to thank Xu Shichang for everything he has done for him, Fang Zida finally let him take up the position of State Councilor, but turned his actual position into a false one, and arranged for him a good residence in Baoding, where he cultivated himself and planted flowers and plants on weekdays. What.After a few years, my complexion is much better than before.

Hearing Yang Du's excited shouts, Xu Shichang's heart was also as excited as the river was overwhelmed.For many years, since the Opium War, China, the old empire, has been opened up by gunboats from Western countries, and has been bullied, cede land, pay compensation...In the late Qing Dynasty, Beiyang rose in response to the situation. The Beiyang Fleet was once the number one fleet in the Far East, and the Beiyang Xiongjun was the most elite army in the Far East.It seems that under these glories, the rise of the country is just around the corner, but the First Sino-Japanese War completely shattered these. Decades and generations of efforts were all in vain. Get strong again.

The local war between China and Japan a few years ago, although this anticlimactic battle finally ended in a truce between the two sides.But for Xu Shichang, it is already a remarkable achievement.You must know that in the past hundred years, this is the only time in China's foreign wars that no compensation was paid.And it was even a draw.On the day when the armistice agreement came, Xu Shichang, who hadn't drank for a long time, even had a few drinks happily at home.

Seeing the country's prosperity 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, that day has finally arrived.Since the Sino-Soviet war broke out at this moment.Xu Shichang, like all Chinese, followed the war with both hope and anxiety.When he learned from Yang Du that the Sino-Russian coalition forces had occupied Moscow and wiped out the last strength of the Soviet Red Army, Xu Shichang could no longer restrain his inner excitement. He held the telegram in his slightly trembling hands and read it repeatedly. Two lines of old tears fell involuntarily. down.

"Wei Ting... Wei Ting! Did you see it? Did you hear it? We won! We finally won!"

"Old Ju...Old Ju...!" Xu Shichang is old.Seeing his excited appearance, Fang Zida and Yang Du hurriedly comforted him and helped him to sit down.

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

"Huajiao mourns the sea and the moon, conquers the sky with frost. Slashes Loulan with a blade, bends a bow to shoot the virtuous king..." Yang Du whispered Li Bai's poems, shook his head and said: "When I first heard the good news, Yang couldn't control himself , Sad! Happy! Happy and sad!"

Fang Zida and Xu Shichang nodded slightly. Yang Du's words really expressed their mood at this time. The victory is exciting and worth being happy, but looking back at the difficulties of a hundred years is also sad.But everything has passed, and this victory will enable China to stand up again in the world, proud of the East, and create a new glory.

"By the way, where did this telegram come from? Has the battle report from the General Staff Headquarters arrived?" After sighing, Fang Zida then remembered to ask about the telegram sent by Yang Du. I sent it here, and I happened to be at the General Staff Headquarters at the time, because there was still follow-up content still being translated, so I hurried over as soon as I saw the previous victory report, and it is estimated that the official battle report has already arrived at the General Staff Headquarters.”

As soon as the voice fell, the phone on Fang Zida's desk rang. He got up and answered the phone. After listening to a few words and hanging up, Fang Zida turned around and said with a smile to Yang Du and Xu Shichang: "Wu Ziyu's call, he will come to the State Council soon, it seems The official battle report has arrived. Xizi, please immediately notify the chief ministers and deputy ministers of the cabinet in Beijing to come to the meeting."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Yang Du got up quickly, and Xu Shichang also stood up. He knew that the cabinet would have an important meeting next, and the content of the meeting was of course aimed at this war.He has retired now, it is inconvenient to stay here, and he is going to say goodbye to Fang Zida.

"It's okay, Mr. Ju, you stay. You must participate in this meeting. Not only you, but also Mr. Duan Zhi and Mr. Wang Ping. I am going to invite them to participate. Although this is a victory for the current government, it also has its own advantages. The merits of you seniors are the victory of all Chinese people! Moreover, although we have won this war in a sense, there are still many things to deal with, especially the division of power after the war. The interests of the Chinese government in it, etc., also involve the reactions of Western countries. You are all the elders of the country, and please give more suggestions in this regard.”

Xu Shichang thought for a while, then nodded with a smile and said, "Since Zhang Ming has such an invitation, I can't stand idly by with my old bones. All right! I agree to this matter."

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

From the early morning of March 1922, 3 to 12:8 pm on August 20, the Sino-Soviet War, which was second only to the European War in 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 Chinese and Russian coalition forces captured Moscow, the capital of the Soviet government, on the evening of August 8. During the entire war, more than 20 million Soviet Red Army troops were annihilated and captured, achieving the final victory. victory.

On August 8, the Russian imperial government announced that the government would first move from the Far East to the central city of Perm, and return to the capital after the situation in Moscow stabilized.At the same time, various departments of the government army took advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to advance west and north in order to completely eliminate the remnants of the Bolsheviks and complete the revival of the Russian Empire.

On the same day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of National Defense, and General Staff of the Chinese government also confirmed the statement of the Russian Imperial Government, and issued a statement to the areas where Soviet Russia was not restored.Due to the occupation of Moscow and Stalin's burning of the Kremlin, coupled with the capture of all members of the Supreme Soviet, the Peugeot Soviet has been completely defeated in this war.In order to reduce unnecessary casualties and turn from war to peace as soon as possible, the resistance forces in various regions of the former Soviet Russia are required to lay down their weapons and surrender to the coalition forces. Except for members who have committed crimes against the people, all ordinary soldiers and civilians will be pardoned by the Allied Command and the Queen. (To be continued..)
