Chapter 285 New Page

"The Japanese flag is planted on the big eagle!"

Gendarmerie captain Tai Jiage ran directly into Stasser's office without permission and shouted.

The waiter jumped up first, and then sat back in the chair, Wei Lan? Alexayev's hands patted, he hugged his head and cried. The general's private residence suddenly fell into chaos. The messengers ran out of the door one after another, and the sound of the door opening and closing echoed one after another.

"Where did Fu Ke go?"

The general's wife shouted crazily.

"When I have not yet entered Lushun, I will immediately start peace negotiations. Anatoly, you have to send someone to Les right away!"

After only one minute, the flustered and anxious Chief of Staff came.

"Vicker? Alexander Lovich, write a letter to Nomu immediately and raise the issue of Lushun's surrender!"

Weilan? Alexeyev said as soon as he saw him.

"I'm ready for the manuscript!"

The colonel took out a piece of paper from his waist pocket.

"But we haven't received a report from General Sminov, the commander of the city defense, or General Fu Ke, the commander of the land defense, on the situation of each unit!"

Reis mentioned.

"There is no need for Sminov to participate in this matter, but Fu Ke, in any case, he must find it immediately!"

Stessel ordered.

"He just got home!"

A few minutes later, Fu Ke, wearing an overcoat, a white belt, a command knife and a pistol, strode into the office. He reported to Stessel:

"Report to your Excellency the commander, under the attack of the superior Japanese, the troops of our army have now retreated to the last line of defense, and the ammunition has been exhausted. In addition, our army is exhausted. It is no longer meaningful to continue to resist!"

Stasser stood and listened to his report and nodded.

"We can't continue to resist. I totally agree with this, but what do you think will happen in the future?"

The attendant's inquiry was actually to make Fu Ke bear the responsibility for proposing surrender.

"I think it is necessary to start negotiations on the surrender of Lushunkou in the Northern Hemisphere!"

Fu Ke replied unswervingly.

Stasser stood there, his face pale, his expression became anxious, and the usual color completely disappeared.

"With the authority of the Russian emperor's general and the highest military officer of Lushun, I decided to... surrender!"

"Colose Reis, on this point, please bother to negotiate with General Naimu, the commander-in-chief of the besieging Lushun Army!"

After he gave the order in a formal tone, he suddenly fell down and sat in the chair.

"Lord! Please save me from all kinds of disasters! Now I can't help but go..."

"Goodly, there is no precedent for hanging waiters in Russia, which is to be punished or only submitted to the referee of the State Council!"

Weilan? Alexeyevna comforted her husband and said.

"Anatoly, you should remember that the helpless choice you have made has saved the lives of tens of thousands of our brave officers and soldiers. Thousands of mothers, wives, sisters, and waste scum will bless you in front of God!"

"Please let me read the official letter of the commander-in-chief of the army!"

With that, Les read the letter of surrender.

"The car attack is under the command of Baron Naimu, the commander-in-chief of the army! After spying on the situation on the battlefield, I believe that it is meaningless for Lushunkou to continue to resist. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, I am willing to negotiate with you to surrender. If it is accepted, please appoint a plenipotentiary to engage in the negotiation and disarming procedures, and to indicate the place where the representatives of you and our two sides will meet and negotiate. I would like to express my deepest feelings.

His Majesty the Tsar of the Russian Empire, General Stelton"

At night, the rumbling explosion suddenly broke the dead silence of the air.

On the left, two fires were burned, making the whole northeast battlefield red. The blazing fire was followed by a low fog. There was silence on the front line. The usual sound of gunfire between the two Russian armies could not be heard. The light of the searchlight shot down from the high mountain and explored with the Inner Port of Lushun. A house on Baiyu Mountain burned red, and the bottom of the mountain was smooth. In the parking area, some bright fire lights were raised, and a series of explosions were faintly heard. A cluster of fire suddenly appeared in the East Port near the Artillery City, and the fire reflected the figure of a warship.

This is the middle and lower house officers and naval officers and soldiers of the Russian army who were unwilling to surrender in Lushunkou to order the troops to blow up the artillery, and the shells and gunpowder were also destroyed at the same time.

In the darkness before dawn, explosive fires appeared one after another. The exploded cannon fell to the ground, the shrapnel flew across the air, and flames kept rising in the night sky. The explosions kept rumbling from the whole battlefield. At this time, it seemed that the whole brigade began to be shelled by the Japanese army.

"This is Lushun's suicide!"

A naval officer sighed while listening to the explosion in the air.

The 155-day Lushun offensive and defensive battle ended with the unusually heroic tradition of the Russians in "defending dirt".

Late at night on January 2, 1905.

In Stessel's private residence in Lushunkou, Gao Peng is full of seats. A solemn banquet is being held here, Weilan? Lekseyevna was dressed in a long silk suit. For the last time, he glanced at the table with a shreek and execution.

The attendant general himself and his close friends - Fu Ke, Nikkin, Les and Huo Jiage, all entertained guests in the living room, waiting for the arrival of the "victors of Lushunkou" - General Namu and his chief of staff, General Yizhidi, but they didn't know what the original was. They had never arrived in time.

In the face of the delay of the two generals, Stessel seemed a little anxious. The lateness of people had an insult. Just as he became more and more anxious, suddenly, a two-horse carriage came, and two soldiers in Japanese military uniforms were occupied. The attendant general and his wife hurried to the door. To welcome the distinguished guests, unexpectedly, it was not Nogi, but General Tanaka with a jubilant face, and next to him was Lao Xiang in a major's military uniform.

"Generalnai mu and General Ichi specially ask the general to forgive me, because they are in poor health and can't come. I hereby entrust me to be a representative!"

Tanaka Ju said that to a large extent, he could not understand Stessel and these Russian generals. After surrendering, they actually held a banquet to entertain the "victors". If the Japanese officer faced this scene... It is not that the imperial army would never surrender, let alone hold an executive banquet for the winner, like thanks. Their occupation is average.

In the face of this situation, Mr. and Mrs. Stessel had no way to do anything. They could only express regret, and then asked the guests to sit down. Because there were many seats, in order to fill the empty seats, when Tanaka came, he had to invite two or three Japanese officers from the street. One was Mr. Xu, a watchmaker in Lushun City, is now a major in Songdao. One is Lao Xiang, a barber in the governor's mansion in the Far East. Now he has become a major in the navy, Xiaolin. They are themselves spies.

Kobatovsky, Banasov and Koshchenko were all missing for no reason, and Stessel felt that he was beginning to have bad luck for the first time.

In order to improve the mood of people at the banquet, Nikkin desperately poured the wine to the glass in the morning. First, he raised his glass to wish the Russian Tsar and the Emperor, then blessed the Russian armies who were fighting, and finally blessed Nogi and Stessel. Finally, they praised each other and praised each other's heroes.

Mr. Xu, who has now become Major Songdao, is now discussing practical problems with Fu Ke. Fu Ke is still as usual. He only drinks a little water and drinks a lot of wine. After the two of them got permission, they got up and went to the office.

"According to the amount we originally agreed, now I present a check from our bank to you, which is signed by the Duke of Guards of our country!"

Fu Ke took the check. He looked at the number on the check and nodded with satisfaction.

"As you hope, the pound of this money can be withdrawn from our bank at any time!"

Tanaka added that he wanted to get more than this money in Lushun. They not only got those warships that were not completely destroyed, a large number of ordnance supplies, but also won the war!

The recovery of Lushunkou has paved the way for Japan to win this war, and what is the cost? Hundreds of thousands of people's blood and such a check.

This is exactly the number mentioned in their agreement, and the two people who wanted to get what they needed laughed at this time.

After the banquet, the guests went to a room next door. At this time, Stessel remembered that it was the time for the captured defense forces to leave Lushun, and they would go to the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp to serve hard labor.

"I want to say goodbye to the soldiers!"

Stessel looked at Tanaka and said.

"Maybe each of us would like to see our heroes in Lushunkou!"

"I have seen enough for a long time!"

Tanaka recalled the way he was beaten by those soldiers after he was caught in Lushun.

"Anatoly, you can't go there. The soldiers have no restrictions at all now. If they see you, I'm afraid they will kill you!"

Weilan? Alexeyevna hurriedly stopped. The soldiers were saying that they had sold Lushun. If they saw their husbands, I'm afraid they would really kill the traitor.

"Your Excellency, General, has been under the protection of the Japanese imperial army. Please rest assured that no danger can't deter him!"

But in the end, out of safety reasons, Stasser sent the drunken Nickkin to say goodbye to the soldiers on his behalf.

At dawn, when the morning sun rose from the ridge, several cargo ships transporting prisoners to the Japanese coal mine for hard labor set off. On the golden mountain, on the towering signal flagpole, the Russian flag was lowered and the Japanese flag was raised.

The sound of the salute shook the world, and the soldiers everywhere in the world were waving their arms and shouting.

"Class in...Class in, class in..."

In this cheer, the old page of Lushunkou has been turned over. What about the new page? With the sound of this class echoing in the air, the smell of Lushun's blood is still permeating over the port. The bay of Lushunkou under the morning sun is as red as blood...
