Honor or ruin, that's a big question.

In the dilapidated headquarters in Almaty, General Zasulich began to struggle as he looked at the 280-mm howitzer that had begun to be erected at the gate outside.

And at this time, the chariot troops and cavalry who had nothing to do after cleaning up the surrounding Russian troops also ran out of Almaty one by one with great interest, it is obvious that once the infantry starts a general attack, these guys are also ready to join in the fun, although they dare to go around Almaty, but they really dare not continue to attack Bishkek regardless of this side.

The reality of more than 100,000 troops gathering outside the city finally calmed down General Zasulich and the remnants of less than 15,000 Russian troops under his subordinates, and at this time, the news that the 11th Group Army of the Chinese Army, which had set off from Dihua, began to attack Alashankou, also made them completely hopeless, and after enduring the indiscriminate bombardment for half a month, General Zasulich, commander of the Russian 18th Army, led the headquarters of the group army and its 13,500 Russian officers and men to surrender to the Seventh Army of the Chinese Army.

Immediately after that, the second armored division led by Gao Mingjun began to rush towards Bishkek, but this time there was no enemy in front of him, from Tashkent, Kokand and other places to reinforce Bishkek, the headquarters of the Russian 16th Army was almost 200 kilometers away from Bishkek at this time, and the original Russian army in Bishkek was the two Cossack divisions that he and the cavalry played to death, this guy played a lightning raid again along the Russian military highway, This time he drove the tank into Bishkek in only six hours.

At this time, a bloody battle was also unfolding in Belgrade in Serbia, far away in Europe, and although the North American Third Army led by Lieutenant General Bliss was working day and night, because the Austrians had completely destroyed the railways and roads, they still failed to rush to this vital city before the Austrian Royal Janissary, so they had to fight with their lives. But there is good news, because the destruction is too strict. The Bulgarian railway will take at least a week to be completely completed, and the Serbian partisans are also very stubborn, so the Chinese going north cannot fight for the time being.

The other good news is that the US-British coalition has reached Magdeburg, which is now only 100 kilometers from Berlin, which means that victory is just around the corner.

"Lads, the last hope is in you, with your courage, with your will, to smash Belgrade, to smash the Austrian fortress. For the sake of freedom and justice, rush! General Bliss brandished his saber and shouted at his soldiers.

So in the whistling of cannonballs, the North American soldiers launched a ferocious charge towards Belgrade, and opposite them were 50,000 Austro-Hungarian troops led by the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand, or simply the Austrian army, which was basically composed of Austrian Germans, although they were young, but they were determined. Moreover, the vast majority of middle and high-ranking officers were all children of the nobility, and it could be said that they were the last elite of Austria.

These people turned Belgrade into a meat grinder for North Americans, and countless North American soldiers bled in front of the impregnable fortresses amid the explosion of shells and the whistling of bullets. Dead bodies piled up in the path of the attack, and on the first day alone, more than 30,000 North Americans fell in front of the Austrian lines on the outskirts of Belgrade.

This casualty figure even Lieutenant General Bliss has a feeling of blood dripping from his heart, and North America has paid nearly half a million casualties for this war so far. For a country of just over 20 million people, that number means that every family has relatives killed or wounded in the war, either near or far.

Of course, he understood the meaning of this battle better than anyone else, and he must continue to attack even if the blood was shed. Non-stop attacking.

"We can't stop for a moment, day or night, the number of enemies is small, separate our men, attack in turn, and exhaust them to death even if they are tired!" The general said very firmly.

However, his trick was really useful, more than 200,000 North American troops attacked in three groups day and night, the first batch could not be captured and the second group was on, even if it was dark with flares, and on the third day of the attack, a British army group also joined the battlefield, the British commander very much agreed with the tactics of Lieutenant General Bliss, plus the American and British coalition forces that they attacked later were divided into five groups, not only the attack intensity increased, but the attack interval was getting shorter and shorter, because of the numerical inferiority, the Austrians who could not get rest finally could not hold on.

In fact, it is already admirable that they can hold up in the face of such an attack, their enemies can take turns to rest, they can't, although the wheel warfare is disgraceful, but it is also the most effective, no matter how good the soldier can not close his eyes for several days in a row, and even eat and even pee on the spot can only solve the problem, it is impossible to fight effectively, and in the end, there are even soldiers who die suddenly due to fatigue in the battle, as for the situation of falling asleep while shooting, it is not uncommon.

In this way, nearly 400,000 American and British troops with 180,000 casualties finally took six days to conquer Belgrade, Archduke Ferdinand led the remnants of less than 10,000 Austrian troops to cross the Danube River gloomily, and the day after the fall of this city that decided the fate of the Entente, the Chinese European Corps finally boarded the train to continue to advance, but at this time, the North American Fourth Army and the British Fifteenth Army, which had already moved south when the Battle of Belgrade was still in progress, completed the deployment in the mountains of southern Serbia.

The gates of the Chinese European Corps to Austria-Hungary were blocked.

On the same day, the US-British advance arrived in Potsdam, where they exchanged fire with the German forces led by Crown Prince Wilhelm.

"Peace talks? What are you kidding, this is just the beginning, you don't think that just a few of your army groups can stop me in the Balkans, do you? 500,000 people is not big enough, I will send another 500,000 people, it is not enough, I will send another 1 million, the number of troops is not big enough, it is just a matter of expanding the army, China has a population of more than 500 million, it is still very easy to mobilize 10 or 20 million, as for Germany, what is the big deal, even if you take Berlin? His Majesty the Kaiser could have found a wartime companion to continue to resist, as long as our army fought and the victory was his. In the imperial palace in Beijing, Emperor Yang proudly said to the British government's secret envoy, the British minister to Japan.

"Of course, I am still peace-loving, and it is not impossible to really stop fighting." Then he added.

"What are the conditions?" The British minister to Japan hurriedly asked, in fact, he also knew that it was too early to sue for peace, and it would be more appropriate if he could take Berlin, but the politicians in Britain couldn't wait, they urgently needed to know Yang Feng's bottom line, and he was definitely not qualified to bargain in the past, but now he is qualified, and it is good to make a test even if it is not successful.

"It's very simple," Yang Feng walked to the map and said: "Starting from the Suez Canal, all the British colonies and Commonwealth member states along the entire Indian and Pacific coasts to the east will be handed over to China, and we have already won India and Malaya, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa in Africa, all of which are Chinese, and the British and French colonies in other parts of Africa will be allocated by Germany and Austria-Hungary." ”

"This is impossible, Your Majesty, we are here with sincerity." The British minister to Japan exclaimed.

"I'm also very sincere, since it's a reshuffle of the world, then there has to be a shuffle, you were originally just an England, and the others were just grabbed by you, what's the big deal about handing it over now? Besides, didn't I keep Ireland for you? And this is only what you Britain need to surrender, and your ally Russia must cede to China all the territory east of the Volga and the Caspian Sea, as well as the colonies in the Pacific Ocean and the colonies in Alaska and the Americas. ”

"Your Majesty, your conditions are not only unacceptable, they can be said to be unbearable, and the British Empire will never accept such armistice conditions." The British minister to Japan said firmly.

This condition does not need to be submitted to Congress for discussion, he can directly determine that it is absolutely impossible to accept, so that Britain has nothing, all the colonies are gone, Britain is only left with the island of Great Britain and the island of Ireland, and the Irish are still making trouble at this time, which means that Britain will withdraw from the stage of hegemony forever, and become a small country with neither resources nor market, and it will starve to death in a few years, and agreeing to this condition is tantamount to suicide.

India, Southeast Asia has nothing to say, these have already fallen into the hands of China, and no one will give up what they have in their hands, but Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa are completely wishful thinking, and these places are not comparable to India and Southeast Asia at all. In those places Britain is a colonizer, but not the real master, and these places are different, these places British immigrants are the main body, Australia, New Zealand, Canada these three places together have a population of more than 10 million, even if the British mainland does not send troops to support, it is not that the Chinese want to take it, and now it is a joke to go over with a mouth.

"Your Excellency, you are not the National Assembly of your country, you have no right to make a decision whether you accept it or not, I hope you will do your best to convey this condition to Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I and the Chinese Government and the people are very sincere, we want to end the war, but we have to end the war in our way." Emperor Yang said proudly. (To be continued......)
