"You're right, it's a good chance to take down Sefaj. But don't forget it, your troops have been fighting for two days and two nights in a row, and even tigers need to rest! So I order you to rest the night, and tomorrow you are advancing in the direction of Sefaj, rest assured! Sefaj doesn't care about waiting for this extra night, let's let our warriors have a good rest tonight! Shen Hongcai patiently explained.

"Yes!" Song Laohu replied respectfully, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, but what Shen Hongcai said was indeed the truth. At present, the 45th Army and the 46th Army have been fighting continuously for two days and two nights, not to mention that the follow-up battle will be more brutal and intense.

In fact, one night is not enough time for a tired soldier to fully recover, but now is the time of war after all, and war is very cruel, in order to defeat the enemy as much as possible. It was simply impossible for the soldiers to rest well for a while and fully recover. Being able to sleep peacefully through the night is already a luxury. Fortunately, the physique of the soldiers now is far stronger than that of the people of later generations, and many people can recover even if they are tired and sleep well.

The African Front under the command of Niu Kaixuan, with an army of 1.8 million, quickly swept through the southeastern part of Egypt with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Its Eastern Route Army successively captured Sefaj, Hegada, Cape Gharib and other places. And the Western Route Army along the north of the Nile has also captured Esyot and is preparing to launch an attack in the direction of Deir Maivas.

Although the Anglo-American coalition forces continued to deploy troops to support the Egyptian battlefield, they could not reverse the trend of continuous defeat. The Anglo-American coalition had lost more than a million troops in Egypt, but it was still unable to contain the offensive of the Chinese army, and the defeat of the Anglo-American coalition in Egypt was certain.

At the same time, in the Pacific theater, the Chinese army also actively took the offensive, after the Australian South Sea Front captured Australia. The island of New Zealand was then captured. At the same time, Wang Jing, commander-in-chief of the Pacific Theater, commanded the navy, land, and air forces to capture Guam in one fell swoop and prepare to launch an attack on Hawaii. In the North Pacific, Siberian Governor Wang Weihua personally led an army of 200,000 troops, with the assistance of the navy, successfully captured the Aleutian Islands and successfully landed in Alaska. This caused extreme panic in the United States, which began to raise troops to Alaska, and at the same time, British Canada also sent troops to urgently reinforce Alaska.

At the beginning of June 1917, a large-scale revolutionary movement broke out again in Russia. In the first Russian revolution, the workers and soldiers were the main force against the tsar, and the bourgeoisie did not lead the revolution. After the success of the revolution. The workers and soldiers organized their own leading body: the Soviets. The bourgeoisie did not have any power in the Soviets. The armament was also in the hands of the workers' and soldiers' Soviets. The Soviets held real power, but there was a Provisional Government above them. There was a situation in which the two regimes, the bourgeois Provisional Government and the Soviet of Soldiers' Deputies, coexisted.

Among the members of the Soviets, Mensheviks made up the majority. The Bolsheviks were repressed during the war, but most of the Bolshevik leaders were still in prison and in penal colonies. The lack of political experience of the broad masses of workers and peasants led to the theft of the leadership of the Soviets by the Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries, who supported the bourgeoisie in the establishment of the Provisional Government. Among the Soviets elected by the soldiers, which consisted mainly of the peasants, the Socialist-Revolutionaries (a petty-bourgeois party) were in the majority, because of their traditional high prestige among the peasants. These Mensheviks were all second-revolutionists. They believed that Russia was still in the stage of the bourgeois-democratic revolution. Agrarian and democratic reforms were also needed in cooperation with the bourgeois Provisional Government. Thus they supported the Provisional Government. The Socialist-Revolutionaries came from the upper strata of the petty bourgeoisie, and they tended to follow the bourgeois Provisional Government. The Bolsheviks also adopted the Menshevik policy of supporting the Provisional Government before Lenin returned to Petrograd. The workers and soldiers did not trust the Provisional Government, but trusted their leaders. The authority of the Provisional Government rested on the support of the Soviet leaders. This phenomenon is called "dual regime" by Lenin~Ning. The bourgeois Provisional Government continued its criminal imperialist war. We will continue to enslave the broad masses of the working people and do everything possible to extinguish the flames of revolution.

It was in this terrible situation that a large-scale revolutionary movement broke out again in Russia, and the vast number of Russian people, who could not bear the enslavement of the Provisional Government. Under the leadership of the Bolsheviks, the stronghold of the Provisional Government was besieged and successfully captured the Winter Palace. The Russian bourgeois Provisional Government was overthrown. When the Bolsheviks came to power, they proclaimed the formation of a "Provisional Government of Workers and Peasants".

After the establishment of the Soviet government, the old state apparatus was destroyed, the old government departments, the old courts, the old police were abolished, and the old army was demobilized. The old hierarchical system of the imperial Russian period was abolished, the rights of the people of all nationalities in the country were proclaimed, men and women were equal, and the privileges of the church were abolished. Of course, these are not the point, and more importantly, Russia announced its withdrawal from the First World War.

However, Russia did not buy peace in exchange for this, and although the revolution overthrew the Provisional Government, it did not completely purge the so-called counter-revolutionaries. A large-scale civil war broke out between the Provisional Government, led by the Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries, as well as the capitalists, landlords, and military officers, and the Soviets.

In any case, Russia's withdrawal from the First World War was undoubtedly worse for the Allied side, which was losing on the battlefield. Without Russia's containment, Germany and Austria-Hungary would be able to draw large numbers of troops from the Eastern and Southern Fronts and fight on the Western Front. Moreover, at this time, due to the fierce attack of the Chinese Empire, the strength of the Entente side has been greatly weakened, and now Russia has withdrawn from the war again, which shows that the Entente side has reached the end of the road.

In June 1917, the Western Expeditionary Army concentrated three million troops to launch a final general offensive against the Allied forces in northern Egypt. In less than half a month, the African Front led by Niu Kaixuan successfully regained Cairo. The more than one million Chinese troops on the east bank of the Suez Canal also successfully broke through the Suez Canal defense line built by the Entente. More than 1 million Allied troops in Egypt were completely defeated, and a large number of routs poured towards Alexandria on the northern part of Egypt and the Mediterranean coast.
