"I know that some people have bad habits that are hard to break, and some people are not bad habits, but social! So, I'm a very tolerant person. Wang Maoru raised his index finger, his voice was full of cold stubbornness, and said: "I'll give you a day to think about it, if you can quit the person, continue to stay in the War Department, if you don't have this perseverance, please find another job, the War Department can't tolerate him." ”

Everyone whispered to each other one by one, and gradually the sound died down.

Wang Maoru sneered twice, stood up, and said, "Are you okay?" If there is nothing to do, the meeting will be dismissed and everyone will go their own way. The state spends money to support you, not a bunch of waste! It is to train soldiers who will fight for the country when it is invaded and humiliated, and pay with their lives until it is humiliated. Think about it for yourselves, whether you are qualified or not, and whether you want to be a soldier of the Republic of China. Meeting! ”

After the meeting in the War Department Square, Wang Maoru sat in the War Department, and officials came to the War Department one after another to express their loyalty, Wang Geng also wanted to go in to express it, and Wen Bo also supported him, but Wang Geng consciously had a small official position, and he studied in the United States, and it was difficult to get reused even if he went in with Chinese officialdom, so he had to sigh and retreat. After Wen Bo learned about it, he was also very helpless, and pulled him to drink and comfort him.

Wang Maoru stayed at the War Department until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then went home, Zhu Songyun and Zhu Meiyun had already finished shopping, bought a lot of clothes and gifts, and went to Zhu's house for a banquet when they were ready for dinner. The housewife of the Zhu family was ready, and Wang Maoru took Zhu Songyun, Zhu Meiyun, Xiu'er and Wu's mother back to the Zhu family after a short rest.

This is the first time Zhu Songyun has returned to Zhu's house in more than two years, and after seeing her mother, the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried. Mother choked up and said My hard-working third child, how can you bear to leave your mother for so many years and not go home to see it. Several younger sisters in the family also cried, and they forgot about Wang Maoru for a while. The mother of the Zhu family was very satisfied with Wang Maoru. She had seen Wang Maoru before, but this time her identity was different and she became the son-in-law of the Zhu family. But the Zhu family also has a knot, that is, the daughter of the Zhu family has never been a wife and not a concubine, and Zhu Songyun is now with Wang Maoru and can only be a concubine.

But thinking that Tang Shaoyi's daughters had become Wang Maoru's concubines, the Zhu family was also relieved. Besides, Zhu Songyun is a divorced woman, and marrying Wang Maoru as a concubine did not insult the identity of the Zhu family. After eating, Wang Maoru whispered to Zhu's mother. The mother-in-law is above, and the son-in-law has something to say to his father-in-law but does not know how to speak, and there are many contradictions between China and Japan, and the father-in-law should not have too much contact with the Japanese. lest it be calculated for those who have a heart. The central government is about to undergo drastic changes, and the father-in-law can protect himself as soon as possible, so that he can have a chance to develop in the future. Zhu's mother was shocked, did Wang Maoru mean to launch a coup d'état when she said this? Then the Zhu family really had to plan ahead in order to gain a firm foothold in this political storm.

On September 11, 1920, in the Purple Palace in Tsaritsyn, the Supreme Marshal of the Russian Army, Kolchak, and other officers looked at the map nervously and discussed fiercely.

Tsarina sat silently on the throne beside her. She was secretly anxious in her heart, but there was nothing she could do, she was a good hand at using means to play tricks and conspiracies. But she really didn't know anything about military affairs.

But Sakarina's advantage is modesty, she is the kind of woman who boldly delegates power to those who know what she doesn't understand, compared to Catherine II in history, Sakarina is different from time and opportunity. She was fortunate to meet Nicholas II, who had recently lost his wife, and her misfortune was to encounter such an era of change between the old and the new.

After the start of the civil war in 1918, Tsarist Russia, with the help of the British, French and Americans, gradually recovered, and has occupied the southern center and occupied the Caucasus. And these warlike mountain people quickly replenished the Tsarist Russian army, and it was the attack of these refugees that suddenly caught the Red Army by surprise. These warriors from the Caucasus, Stalin's fellow countrymen, ruthlessly drove the Russian Red Army out of the south from the Tatar steppes and the banks of the Volga River, giving the Russian Empire a respite.

However, since March of this year, the shape has become more and more unfavorable to Tsarist Russia, because Britain is in a dispute with Japan, in order to support Australia, and because of the weak domestic economy, Britain is too busy to provide more help to Russia. In the same way, the United States and France gradually turned their focus to their own countries and the protection of their colonies, and they could not bear the quagmire of Russia, and gradually withdrew from Russia. In order to eliminate the Bolsheviks, they left a large amount of aid to Russia, and the Bushvilles constantly launched workers' strikes and student strikes in Britain, France, the United States, and Japan in order to make it impossible for other countries to provide assistance to Russia, which also brought a certain amount of chaos to these four countries.

Fortunately, strikes and school strikes were almost non-existent in China, and the Bolsheviks fought mainly against the intervening governments, especially Japan and the United States. Most of the strikes and strikes in China were protests against the Japanese government, and they were only a struggle of national awakening, not ideology, and were not organized by foreign forces.

Because the countries reduced their support for Tsarist Russia, which gave Soviet Russia a breather, and at the same time, after a year's rest, Soviet Russia made a comeback and advanced the front from Moscow to the Kharkov, Voronezh, Borisoglebsk, Balashov-Saratov line, and the two sides fought several times. On the Russian side, Trotsky re-established Tukhachevsky as commander and made him commander of the Fourth Army, and at the same time carried out a large-scale replenishment of the Fourth Army, which was supplemented by a large number of party members and experienced soldiers on the Western Front. At the same time, after Frunze led the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies to defeat the Polish invasion, they also began to turn their guns and kill back, and Stalin reorganized the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army, which also began to approach Tsaritsyn from the east bank of the Volga. And the Fifth Army, the Sixth Army, began from Moscow and headed south, approaching Tsaritsyn. Soviet Russia intended to completely wipe out the Tsarist army with a total of 600,000 troops.

Similarly, the Russian Ninth Army, with Vasilenko as the commander and Ubolevich as the political commissar, led the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 23rd Infantry Divisions of the Ninth Army, as well as the 1st Special Cavalry Division, the 7th Samara Cavalry Division, captured the temporary capital of Tsarist Russia Ufa and began to attack eastward, then they conquered Chelyabinsk, and then occupied Kustanay, Kurgan, Yekaterinburg, Uralsk, Perm, Petropapul, Omsk, Kokshetau, Astana, Almost swept through the eastern part of Russia. However, after the Soviet army arrived in Aksu, it had to stop its advance because of the "Soviet-Chinese Secret Treaty" signed with China. At the same time, Ren Yuanxing led two divisions of the White Tiger Regiment and two ** cavalry brigades to Aksu and began a confrontation with the Soviet army. Both sides were very restrained and there was no conflict, but it was not friendly either. The land reform carried out by the Soviet army in the occupied areas won the hearts and minds of a large number of serfs, but it also led a large number of landlords, merchants and scholars in the occupied areas of the Soviet army to flee to the Chinese provinces of Taixi and Anxi.

In order to be more secure, these Russian landlords and merchants did not stay long in the provinces of Taisi and Anxi, but soon emigrated to the Chinese mainland, especially to the legendary Moscow of the East. Historically, Harbin is known as the Moscow of the East, but in this world, Wang Maoru asked Russian immigrants to live in Changchun, and a large number of Russians built a large number of Russian-style buildings, and because of the existence of many Orthodox churches, Changchun has become a veritable Moscow of the East. Harbin became the second largest Russian settlement because it was located on the banks of the Songhua River and was also known as Tsaritsyn of the East.

Because of the loss of a large amount of wealth from Russia, Soviet Russia could not sit still, especially the Soviet Ninth Army, which swept all the way to Aksu, grinding its fists, and the soldiers asked for a war against the Chinese, especially when they heard that the other side only had two infantry divisions and two cavalry brigades, and hoped to destroy it with a group army.

However, after the Soviet army sent reconnaissance, it became depressed, and it turned out that the opponent's infantry division and its own infantry division were not the same thing. The opposing army's army implements a division and regiment system, with 23,000 fighters in one division, which is equivalent to four to five Russian infantry divisions, that is, the opponent has at least ten divisions equivalent to the Soviet army. As the Soviet Ninth Army advanced northward, the number of troops stationed in Kazakhstan gradually decreased, and the Aksu conflict weakened a lot.

The Russian army attacked Tsarist Russia in a big way, and slowly forced Tsarist Russia, which received aid, southward, by taking advantage of its strong industrial and military capabilities. After the other side lost the river fleet, Bereverje judged that the enemy's general offensive should be in winter, and after the Volga River was completely frozen, the Soviet army must have wanted to capture Tsaritsyn in one fell swoop.

However, Kusezov, another chief of staff of the Russian Royal Army, believes that the significance of the defense of Tsaritsyn is only morale, and the actual effect is not great, so it is better to retreat to the Caucasus region and take advantage of the favorable terrain of the Caucasus to wage a constant war against the Soviet army. The tactics proposed by Kusaysov are similar to guerrilla warfare, but this does not conform to the character of the Russians, so as soon as he proposed it, it was denied by all the Russian officials. The officers said that they would rather die in battle than starve to death in the mountains and forests. Tsaritsyn is the center of heavy industry in southern Russia, and despite repeated wars, it can still provide ammunition, food, steel, oil, machinery and other materials to Tsarist Russia, and everyone realizes that Tsaritsyn must not be lost.

Tsaritsyn also became the last bastion of Tsarist Russia. (To be continued.) )
