Volume Three, Cannons Open, Bombing His Mother Chapter 498: The Dawn is Coming

"Victed! Victory!"

Yang Du, who was usually elegant, was out of normalcy today. After getting out of the car, he rushed into the State Council and shouted, rushing towards Fang Zida's office while shouting. Even the folding fan that never left him had been thrown away, he waved a telegram in his hand, his face full of ecstasy.

With a bang, Yang Du rushed into Fang Zida's office. Regardless of Fang Zida's conversation with someone, he shouted loudly: "I won! We won! Moscow won!"

"real?"

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

"The telegram I just received! Our army has captured Moscow and annihilated countless enemies. The Battle of Moscow is a great victory!"

He hurriedly received the telegram and took a closer look. After a few glances, Fang Zida's brows were completely relaxed, and an ecstatic smile appeared on his face.

"Old Ju! We won! Good news, so good news!" After reading the telegram, Fang Zida turned around and said to the person beside him. At this time, Yang Du realized that it was Xu Shichang standing aside.

Since Yuan Shikai's death, Presidential Senior Senator Xu Shichang has resigned to the Central Committee, but because of Fang Zida's efforts to retain him, Xu Shichang stayed in this position for another year until Fang Zida completely took over the throne of prime minister and demanded to retire again.

Fang Zida was very reluctant to leave this and strongly invited Xu Shichang to serve as the state advisor, but Xu Shichang still refused Fang Zida's kindness on the grounds that he was old and sick and had poor energy. In fact, Fang Zida also knew that Xu Shichang did this to not want to block his own reform path. You should know that as a Beiyang boss, Xu Shichang, as long as he was still in the central government, would naturally have some disciples who had been using his banner to make trouble for him for a long time, which would have a great obstacle to Fang Zida's implementation of the new policy. Moreover, his retreat also gave the Beiyang faction a signal, that is, Xu Shichang supported Fang Zida with a clear attitude.

In order to thank Xu Shichang for everything he did for himself, Fang Zida finally asked him to serve as the state consultant, but he changed his real position to a false position, and arranged a good place for him in Baoding. He cultivated his body and cultivated his character on weekdays, and looked much better than before after a few years.

Hearing Yang Du's excited shouts, Xu Shichang felt as excited as if he was overturning the world. For many years, since the Opium War, China, the old empire, was opened by Western countries with gunboats. He was bullied, cedeed, and paid compensation... In the late Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang rose up. 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, as if under these glory. The rise of the country was near, but the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 completely destroyed these. For decades, the efforts of several generations were all wasted. Xu Shichang, a veteran of the Beiyang, dreamed that he would wash away the shame and make the country stronger again in his lifetime.

In the local war between China and Japan a few years ago, although this battle with a start and abrupt ended with a ceasefire between the two sides, it was already an amazing achievement for Xu Shichang. You should know that in the past century, this was the only time in China's foreign war without cede land and compensation, and it also turned into a draw. When the day the armistice agreement came, Xu Shichang, who had not drunk alcohol for a long time, even drank a few drinks at home happily.

Seeing the country's strength 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 hope for the rise of China.

And today, this day finally came. Since the outbreak of the Sino-Soviet War, Xu Shichang, like all the Chinese, was paying great attention to the war with great hope and anxiety. When he learned from Yang Du that the Sino-Russian coalition had occupied Moscow and destroyed the last power of the Soviet Red Army, Xu Shichang could no longer suppress his excitement. He held the telegram with his hands and watched repeatedly, and two lines of old tears fell involuntarily.

"Weiting...Weiting! Have you seen it? Have you heard it? We won! We finally won!"

"Old Ju...Old Ju..." Xu Shichang was old. Seeing his excited look, Fang Zida and Yang Du hurriedly comforted him and helped him sit down.

Gradually calmed down, Xu Shichang took out his handkerchief and wiped away his tears: "Zhengming, Xizi, I'm making you laugh."

"Drawing the corners and sadness of the moon in the sea, the clothes roll the frost in the sky. Swipe the blade to cut off Loulan, bend the bow to shoot the wise king..." Yang Du whispered Li Bai's poems, shook his head and said, "I can't control myself when I first heard the good news. I can't control myself. I'm sad! I'm happy! I'm happy and sad!"

Fang Zida and Xu Shichang nodded slightly. Yang Du's words did express their mood at this time. Victory is exciting and worthy of happiness, but looking back on the difficulties of a hundred years is sad. But everything has passed, and this victory will enable 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? Did the battle report of the General Staff have arrived?" After sighing, Fang Zida remembered to ask about the telegram sent by Yang Du. Yang Du smiled and said, "The telegram was sent directly from the front line. I happened to be in the General Staff at that time. Because there were still follow-up contents still being translated, I rushed over as soon as I saw the previous good news. It is estimated that the official battle report had already arrived at the General Staff at this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on Fang Zida's table rang. He got up and answered the phone. After listening to a few words, Fang Zida turned around and Yang Du. Xu Shichang smiled and said, "Wu Ziyu's phone number, he will come to the State Council immediately. It seems that the official battle report has arrived. Xizi, please inform the cabinet's chiefs in Beijing immediately, and the deputy chiefs will come to the meeting."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Yang Du quickly stood up, and Xu Shichang also stood up. He knew that there would be an important meeting in the cabinet next, and the content of the meeting was of course aimed at this war. He has retired now and is not convenient to stay here. He is ready to say goodbye to Fang Zida.

"It's okay, Mr. Ju, stay here, you must participate in this meeting. Not only you, but also Mr. Duan Zhi and Mr. Wang Pin, I am also planning to invite them to participate. Although this is a victory of the current government, it also has the merits of you old seniors and the victory of all Chinese people! What's more, although we have won this war in a sense, there will be many things to deal with in the future, especially the division of forces after the war, the interests of the Chinese government in it, etc., which involve the reactions of Western countries. You are all veterans of the country, so please give more suggestions in this regard."

Xu Shichang thought for a while, nodded with a smile and said, "Since Jun Ming has this kind of request, I can't stand by, this old bone. OK! I agree with this."

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

From early morning of March 12 to 4:00 p.m. on August 20, 1922, the Sino-Soviet War, which was second only to the European War, finally came to an end. In the early morning of the next day, the Chinese government and the Russian Empire government officially announced to the world that the Sino-Russian coalition forces took over Moscow, the capital of the Soviet government, on the evening of August 20. The entire war was annihilated, capturing more than 3.7 million Soviet Red Army soldiers, achieving the final victory.

On August 21, the Russian Empire government announced that the government would first move from the Far East to the central city of Perm, and wait until the situation in Moscow stabilized before returning to the capital. At the same time, the government troops took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued to advance in all directions to the west and north, in order to completely resolve the remaining members of the Bolsheviks and complete the revival of the Russian Empire.
