"The latest results have been counted." Wang Weihua, commander-in-chief of the Fifth Group Army, stood in front of Ren Chao and said respectfully.

"Oh! Let's hear it. Ren Chao raised his eyebrows and said casually.

"In this battle, our army killed 20,000 Russian soldiers and captured more than 60,000 Russian soldiers. At this point, the main force of the Russian army north of Shuangchengzi has been basically annihilated by our army. Wang Weihua said respectfully.

"Hmmm! Very good! What are the casualties of our troops? Ren Chao nodded and said.

"The casualties of our Fifth Army were less than 2,000, of which more than 600 were killed and more than 300 were seriously wounded." Wang Weihua said excitedly.

"It is really not easy to annihilate eighty or ninety thousand Russian troops with such a small loss!" Ren Chao smiled and nodded.

"This battle is thanks to the fact that the Air Force destroyed the enemy's command in the first place, which completely paralyzed the command system of the Russian army. Subsequently, the tank unit of our Tiger Ben Army made the Russian army frightened and quickly defeated, so that our army could achieve such brilliant results. Wang Weihua replied honestly.

"Hmmm! This time, both the Air Force and the Tiger Army have made great contributions, and they have been rewarded by general order! Ren Chao nodded and said, "By the way, where is the Second Army now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the vanguard of the Second Army is less than twenty miles away from Shuangchengzi, and the main force of the Second Army will be able to rush to Shuangchengzi to make peace with our army the day after tomorrow at the latest." Wang Weihua replied.

"The so-called soldiers are fast, since we have already conquered the twin cities, then we can directly march to Vladivostok. The order was to take the 1st Division of the Tiger Army as the vanguard, advance in the direction of Vladivostok, and set off early tomorrow morning. The 7th Division, the 9th Division, and the 31st Division followed one after another. The follow-up units of the Fifth Army advanced directly in the direction of Vladivostok. The divisions of the Second Army were ordered to speed up the march and continue to advance in the direction of Vladivostok. The Korean Army Group should also intensify its offensive and strive to meet our troops near Artem. Attack Vladivostok together. Ren Chao ordered with a stern face.

"Command!" Wang Weihua replied respectfully.

"How many troops are there in Vladivostok at the moment?" Ren Chao asked casually.

"According to the latest intelligence, the Russian army has gathered more than 200,000 troops in Vladivostok, and it seems that it is planning to hold Vladivostok." Wang Weihua replied.

"With only 200,000 troops, do you want to hold Vladivostok? Now the two group armies of our Chinese Empire, plus the Korean group army, have nearly 600,000 troops, which is more than enough to deal with only 200,000 Russian troops. Ren Chao said confidently.

"The strength of the Russian army in the Far East is already limited, and even these 200,000 Russian troops were cobbled together through emergency mobilization, and there are only more than 100,000 of them who really have combat effectiveness." Wang Weihua said respectfully.

"Hmmm! The latest news has just come from Beijing. The Russian representatives wanted to negotiate an armistice with us, and even the British and French interceded in the hope that we would let Russia go. Ren Chao said with a sneer.

"Then how does His Majesty plan to deal with this matter?" Wang Weihua hurriedly asked.

"There is no turning back from the bow, Lao Maozi remembered to beg for mercy at this time, isn't it too late! I have already replied to them, and if I want to negotiate an armistice, I can, but the premise is that all the Russian troops in the Far East surrender to our Chinese Empire, and will unconditionally return the territory that we have occupied over the years. At the same time, compensate for the losses of our Chinese Empire, otherwise there is no possibility of negotiation. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"Your Majesty, you must not be polite to these old Maozi. Currently on the European theater of operations, after the defeat of the German army in the Battle of the Marne. The Russian army, which immediately concentrated its main forces to counterattack and entered the territory of Germany, successfully defeated the Russian First Army and annihilated and captured more than 250,000 Russian troops. The Russian army had already withdrawn from Germany with heavy losses, but the German army did not stop there. Still massively increasing troops on the Eastern Front, it seems that they want to defeat the Russian army and then turn their heads against the British and French forces. Wang Weihua said happily. The enemy of the so-called enemy is a friend. Although the Chinese Empire and the German-Austrian allies were not allies, but now that China and Tsarist Russia are at war, in the face of such a common enemy as Tsarist Russia, Huaxia and Germany and Austria can barely be regarded as friendly forces, and Wang Weihua is naturally very excited to learn the news of the German army's great victory on the Eastern Front.

"The defeat at the Battle of the Marne, coupled with our sudden declaration of war on Tsarist Russia, caused the Germans to change their strategy and move the main forces to the Eastern Front in an attempt to quickly defeat the Russian army, force Russia to make peace alone, remove the threat from the East, and free up forces for another war with Britain and France. The ambassadors of Germany and Austria have made more than a dozen trips to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs these days, hoping to form an alliance with us in China to jointly deal with Tsarist Russia. Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Did you promise the Germans?" Wang Weihua asked cautiously.

"Nope!" Ren Chao shook his head and said, "First, we have no plans to participate in the European war now, and the war against Tsarist Russia is just to recover the territory occupied by Tsarist Russia and drive Tsarist Russia's forces out of the Far East." Second, even if we don't ally with the Germans, won't they deal with the Russians? Of course not, for their own benefit, they will still spare no effort to fight the Russians. Because only by defeating the Russians first will they be able to deal with the more powerful British and French. In that case, what does it matter if we are not aligned? If we rashly conclude an alliance with Germany now, even if only to conclude an alliance against the Russians, we will offend Britain, France, and other countries. Although we are not afraid of these two countries in our current strength, it is not good for us to offend them. At least it will affect the normal trade between us and Britain and France, and I still want to take the opportunity of this European war to make a good windfall? Now both Britain and France and Germany and Austria are our gods of wealth, and we can't offend these gods of wealth. ”

"Your Majesty!" Wang Weihua said respectfully.

"So the longer this war is fought, the better it will be for us, and it won't do us any good to rush to take sides." A treacherous smile appeared at the corner of Ren Chao's mouth.

"What His Majesty said is extremely true, but we still have to stand in line in the end, I don't know which side His Majesty intends to join?" Wang Weihua regretted it a little after asking, in the Chinese Empire, Ren Chao has always strictly forbidden soldiers to interfere in politics, Wang Weihua has been by Ren Chao's side for so long, he naturally knows the rules, and this question is indeed a bit reckless. Wang Weihua looked up and secretly glanced at Ren Chao, and was relieved to see that Ren Chao was not angry. (To be continued......)
