"If you don't want to avenge your shame! I'd rather die!"

"If you don't want to avenge your shame! I'd rather die!"

The thunderous roar spread from east to west, and the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people could be heard in the entire Dongjiaomin Alley. Everyone could hear this deafening roar. It seemed to be the will of a nation, and it seemed to be the will of a nation.

The sound shocked the envoys from various countries in Dongjiaomin Alley, and the officials looked at each other in confusion.

At this moment, each of them realized a problem that they had been avoiding in the past and were unwilling to face - their good times were over. With the great victory of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Westerners were

China's good times are over!

The era of Easterners controlling the East has begun!

Zhongnanhai, Jurentang.

Today is a sleepless night in Jurentang, with colorful lanterns hanging high. In the large ballroom of Jurentang, crystal chandeliers are hung high, the sound of festive music echoes here, and envoys from various countries raise their glasses from time to time.

They expressed their congratulations to the Chinese officials beside them. Their words were full of compliments, and their expressions at this time completely lost the arrogance they had in the past.

All countries are waiting for me as equals!

At this time, facing the congratulations from envoys from various countries, those officials who can be said to be well-informed always had tears of excitement in their eyes from time to time when accepting the congratulations, and they all expressed their feelings freely.

Drink heavily.

Perhaps they had drank to their heart's content before, but they had never drank so happily as they did today. The table was filled with rare delicacies, and the wine glasses were filled with strong liquor, brandy, whiskey, wine, and champagne.

Colorful and dazzling, this is a victory feast.

"Your Excellency, this is the greatest victory in human history!"

Minister Kant, this French minister, almost immediately walked over to congratulate Yuan Shikai as soon as he arrived.

Facing Kant's congratulations, Yuan Shikai, with a smile on his face, said happily.

"Your Excellency, Minister, I think this is just the first victory. In the future, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will win victory after victory until the Germans are completely defeated!"

Later, Yuan Shikai, who was in the same passionate mood, gave an impromptu toast.

"Gentlemen, ladies..."

At this time, in the grand banquet hall of Jurentang, officials from the Presidential Palace, the State Council and envoys from various countries were standing there listening to Yuan Shikai's speech when he began to deliver a toast:

"Today, July 22, the Chinese Expeditionary Force completely eliminated the resistance of the main German forces surrounded on the west bank of the Somme, forcing them to lay down their weapons. The last base of resistance was crushed. The historic Battle of the Somme

It ends with the complete victory of our Chinese Expeditionary Army..."

Having said this, Yuan Shikai paused for a moment. At this time, he noticed that the Prime Minister had not arrived yet, but today he no longer cared about it. Today, since he became the president, he has never been as good as today.

I feel more comfortable not just because of the victory of the expeditionary force, not just because of the comprehensive change in the attitudes of various countries towards China, nor because of the fact that various countries have realized that China has risen in the East.

Perhaps, they had experienced these problems as early as the "Jiao'ao Incident", but that time was definitely different from today. That time, maybe China won, but while China won the war and won respect, one

The sudden rise of a powerful army also made him restless.

But today, getting this good news from Europe, while China won a battle, made him feel more comfortable - his goal was achieved!

China has won status and respect, and more importantly, the goal he had hoped for, to organize the provincial army through the European War, has been achieved.

The expeditionary force won, but winning this battle cost them an unprecedented price - nearly 100,000 casualties, among which the Jiangsu Army, which was responsible for the main offensive mission, suffered extremely heavy casualties. And this was not exactly his

Purpose, the large number of casualties among soldiers and low-level officers was equivalent to breaking the bones of the Jiangsu Army.

"...We, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, will send more troops to Europe in order to safeguard world justice and justice. China is willing to make its own contribution to world justice and justice, and the Chinese people are also willing to send their descendants for this purpose...

"

At this moment, Yuan Shikai, who was in a comfortable mood, heard a commotion. He looked in the direction of the commotion and saw a person walking in - it was Li Zhiyuan!

Like everyone else, Yuan Shikai suddenly panicked when he saw him, as if he had done something wrong. What made him even more panicked was that today Li Zhiyuan was wearing a black suit, and in

There is also a white chrysanthemum on his chest. This... this is...

Just seeing his outfit, Yuan Shikai's expression became extremely uncomfortable. What did Li Zhiyuan want to do? Was he trying to mess with him?

When Li Zicheng walked into the Jurentang banquet hall, everyone focused their attention on him, and he walked forward step by step to meet everyone's gaze. He didn't even say hello to others like he used to.

He walked to the front on his own and looked at Yuan Shikai who was speaking. He nodded slightly, then picked up a glass of wine from the table beside him, looked around at the people in the banquet hall, and uttered extremely low words in his throat.

.

"Indeed, we won, the expeditionary force won! This is a happy thing. Today, this is a celebration banquet. The first glass of wine is dedicated to the heroes of the expeditionary force who died in the war!"

After speaking, Li Zicheng held up a glass of wine with both hands, poured the wine on the floor with a solemn expression, and then picked up another glass of wine.

"This celebration banquet is a victory forged with the blood and lives of the expeditionary officers and soldiers who are thousands of miles away. The second glass of wine is for the expeditionary officers and soldiers!"

He drank this glass of wine, and in silence, he picked up another glass.

"With this cup, I respect all the people of China and all their contributions to the country. After this victory, Zicheng also has a question, asking you, when we..."

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Li Zicheng's voice became slightly heavier.

"When we face their heroic spirits! What should we use to repay their blood!" (To be continued...)
