Liu Xian did not dare to take risks. Lao Maozi's toughness, he knows. Thinking about Hitler's tragedy on the Soviet-German battlefield terrified Liu Xian. For a country like Russia, it must be killed with a stick. It must not be given a chance to breathe!

When Hitler committed suicide in the basement, he must have regretted his strategic mistake. The Battle of Stalingrad was a turning point in the Soviet-German war, and the Battle of Moscow was a precursor to the defeat of the German army. If Germany had been able to continue to win in that Moscow battle, would the Battle of Stalingrad have been fought so hard and for a long time? The course of World War II was a different outcome.

Therefore, when Qi Lin asked him to withdraw his troops, Liu Xian made a Hitler-like choice - resolutely opposed. The Northern Front was ordered to overcome difficulties and continue the offensive, and it was imperative to take St. Petersburg in one fell swoop. Fortunately, the Wehrmacht on the Northern Route at that time had not retreated three or four hundred miles like the German army in the Battle of Moscow, and the weather was not a bitterly cold winter. Although the armored units lacked fuel and shells, squeezing out the little diesel fuel they had, they were able to drive tanks to the battlefield to use as self-propelled bunkers.

More importantly, their enemies, the Tsarist army and the Anglo-French army, were demoralized after successive defeats, and were far inferior in will and strength to the Red Army under Uncle Tie Man.

Under the strict orders of Liu Xian, the Wehrmacht continued to launch an offensive. Launched a hard battle in the style of an infantry assault. Before that, the Wehrmacht lost less than 30,000 dead in the Battle of St. Petersburg, and after that, almost 70,000 Wehrmacht soldiers fell inside and outside the city!

The 'blitzkrieg' of the Chinese National Defense Forces did not go bankrupt because of St. Petersburg, and the myth of the Chinese army still shines brightly. The Tsarist army failed to win, nor did it inspire the confidence of the Russian people and the people of the whole West in winning the war against China and China.

Nicholas II left St. Petersburg with his family three days after the end of the battle. He was already in complete despair of the outcome of the war. A large number of Russian magnates and ministers also crowded the docks in St. Petersburg like bees, and one by one they fled abroad. They took away a lot of wealth. But more wealth remained in St. Petersburg.

In particular, the gold reserves in the vault of the Russian National Bank. That's an absolutely coveted amount of wealth. But don't think that Russia has been poor for several years, and the country really has no money. Having no money financially is not the same thing as not having money in the bank. Gold reserves are an essential accumulation in any gold standard country.

It may not be as much as 'Kolchak gold', it will be 300 tons, 200 tons, or even less. And this is already a windfall for China's finances.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the Wehrmacht troops entered the palace square of St. Petersburg. In front marched a group of Tatar cavalry conscripted from the Crimea, followed by a large number of Wehrmacht infantry.

This is the city center of St. Petersburg, where the Tsar's Hermitage was located. It is also one of the few places in St. Petersburg that was not destroyed by the war. Upon entering the palace square, the Wehrmacht infantry stopped. And quickly occupy the nearby areas, Georgi. Evgenyevich. Grand Duke Li Vov and Little Grand Duke Nikolai, as well as the captain of the Hermitage Guard, bowed their heads in the face of Song Zuoxian, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht front, and the captain of the guard respectfully handed over his command knife.

The 1,150 guards handed over their guns and guns in order, and were escorted out of the city by Tatar cavalry. There were prisoner of war camps established by the Wehrmacht. The palace square is full of residents who have not left. They all looked at the Wehrmacht soldiers with timid and hateful eyes, who looked completely different from them.

After receiving Song Zuoxian's gesture, the interpreter of the army said to Georgi. Evgenyevich. Grand Duke Lyvov, the most well-established social boiler in Russia, muttered a few words, this is a good opportunity to propagate policy and will. As the next dish to cook the Russian government is likely to be the first government of Prime Minister, Georgi. Evgenyevich. It's time for Lee-Wolff to stand up to the masses.

The follow-up troops quickly passed through here. Troops were hoarded on the Senate Square, the Navy Square, Isa Square, the Champ de Mars, and so on, one after the other, and this is the famous square complex of St. Petersburg. Nevsky Prospect, the Anichko Bridge, the Moyka River, the Glybayedov Canal and the Fountain River were occupied by the Wehrmacht. More than 300,000 Russian troops entered the Wehrmacht's prisoner-of-war camps, and a large number of Wehrmacht troops began to close and clear the St. Petersburg neighborhoods where there were still sporadic gunshots.

Despite the ragged military uniform. Mentally exhausted, many of the troops entering the city were sharply reduced to half or even one-third of the original number. Wehrmacht soldiers still entered St. Petersburg in a neat queue. This is a mighty army that is tired of energy and weak physical strength, but can still fight hard and die bravely. This is a steel army that Liu Xian has organized and tempered in more than 20 years. With their lives and flesh, they defeated the overwhelming firepower of the Russian army and one pillbox group after another. By the way, it also crushed the will and fighting spirit of the Russian army.

Now this victorious army has stepped into the capital of Tsarist Russia with infinite glory, into the heart of a world-class power. Just like the German army entered Paris in 1870!

No. The Chinese dealt a heavier blow to Russia than the German army dealt to France in 1870.

France just doesn't have a dynasty, but Russia may lose its backbone, the land and rights that it has worked hard for hundreds of years. And there is a possibility that the country will fall into division!

Song Zuoxian, Zhao Tong, Qi Lin and other Wehrmacht generals who walked into St. Petersburg one after another did not know that among the tens of thousands of St. Petersburg people in the palace square, another literary giant was looking at them with complicated eyes, this is Leo Tolstoy, a well-deserved literary giant!

"This is not Napoleon's army, and the tsar will never return." Leo Tolstoy saw that the morale of the team was high, but they were strictly disciplined, and there was no robbery, plunder, and even more murder, rape, and adultery of the Chinese Wehrmacht.

He is a man who loves Russia, although he has many grievances and criticisms of reality. But this did not affect his love for his homeland. And he is a man of service and combat experience, he has participated in battles, fought bravely, and also participated in the siege of Sevastopol in the Crimean War, although he is only a very basic soldier, he is well aware of the importance of discipline in an army. For example, in his masterpiece "War and Peace" thirty years ago, the description of the elite and mighty French army after entering Moscow:

As soon as the men and horses of the various groups were disbanded and moved into empty or rich houses, the troops were destroyed forever, and they became somewhere between the two neither inhabitants nor soldiers, the so-called bandits.

Five weeks later, when they were evacuated from Moscow, they were the same people, but they were no longer part of the army. They were hordes of bandits, each of which either carried, or carried with them a large bundle of useful things that he thought were valuable. At the time of the evacuation of Moscow, the purpose of each man was no longer to conquer, as before, but only to preserve what had been plundered. Just as a monkey put his hand into a narrow-mouthed jar and grabbed a handful of nuts, not letting go of his fist, lest he lose the nuts he caught, and thus ruined himself, and the French, when they came out of Moscow, would obviously be destroyed. Because they carry the loot with them, they can't throw it away either, just as a monkey refuses to let go of that handful of nuts. Each team of the French army was stationed on a certain street in Moscow, and after ten minutes, there was no longer a man like a soldier or an officer. In the windows of the houses, people in military coats and boots flashed, giggling and going from room to room; In the cellars and basements, these people entertain themselves in a loud and noisy manner; In the courtyard, these men open or smash open the doors of the huts and stables; In the kitchen, the stove is lit, sleeves and noodles are rolled up, baked and fried, intimidated, laughed at and caress women and children. There are so many such people everywhere, crammed into shops, and filled houses; And the army is gone.

In the historical war of 1812, when the French army occupied Moscow, on the same day, the French ministers issued orders to the troops several times in succession, prohibiting the troops from loitering around the city, strictly prohibiting the harassment of the inhabitants and looting, announcing that the night would always be called, etc.; But no matter what measures were taken, the French soldiers, who had formed a formidable army, were scattered throughout Moscow, which was rich and empty with large reserves. Just as hungry herds huddle together in the barren land and disperse inexorably once they set foot on the fertile pastures, so the army is inexorably scattered throughout the rich city. It is not something that can be contained by a single order.

But what about China's National Defense Forces? There was no need to issue orders to them, and the Wehrmacht officers and men consciously and strictly followed the battle regulations. No one deserted to rob one after another of the ownerless luxury houses, and even a lot of wealth was cheapened by the ruffians and thieves of St. Petersburg.

It was not until the next day that the Chinese occupation forces began to sweep the city's wealth. They ransacked the winter palace, the summer palace, all the palaces, and they ransacked the estates and official residences of the nobles and ministers in the city and suburbs. None of those who dared to oppose or block were killed or sent to prisoner of war camps or concentration camps outside the city, the latter of which were held by the Russian elite. But everything went so well!

They blew open the doors of bank vaults, sealed factories and warehouses full of machinery and ammunition, medicine, and munitions.

All of Russia fell. The Russians themselves destroyed factories and brought a large number of expensive machines to St. Petersburg along with the destruction of machines.

But all this is useless.

If these machines could be put to good use, His Majesty the Tsar would certainly not have fled to England in embarrassment. (To be continued......)
