    "What? Is this a victory? How long did it take? This time the British and Indian troops gathered 50,000 troops, and Yuze only had more than 20,000 troops. The reinforcements we sent just passed Ya'an.  We haven't entered the plateau yet!" Wang Xiao was also shocked, this was simply beyond his expectation!

    "Commander, I have confirmed that the information is correct. Last night, the British army gathered tens of thousands of elite troops to launch an attack on Volta Mountain. Yuze seized this opportunity and dispatched two other brigades of troops to attack the British and Indian troops.  The frontal defense line broke through the British and Indian army's defense line in less than half an hour. Then it quickly detoured back to the foot of Volta Mountain and surrounded all the elite British troops attacking Volta Mountain. This morning, the surrounded British army surrendered.  . In this battle, we captured more than 10,000 British troops, and there were also more than 20,000 Indian troops. It can be described as a great victory!" Xiong Wu sighed.  If Wang Yuze's previous victory was due to luck, then this victory is undoubtedly real.

    "Haha, okay! I knew Yuze would not let me down. Unexpectedly, he exceeded my expectations!" Wang Xiao laughed, partly because the Western Sichuan Army won, but more  , is satisfied with Wang Yuze's performance.  His health is getting worse and worse, and he has always been worried about Wang Yuze's ability to master western Sichuan.  But now, Wang Yuze's outstanding performance has completely freed him from worries.

    "How are the casualties of the troops?" Wang Xiao asked.  The Western Sichuan Army achieved such a great victory, and its own casualties were probably not small.

    "The casualties are relatively large. There are more than 8,000 people killed and seriously injured alone, which is equivalent to a brigade that has been wiped out. Especially the ninth brigade guarding Volta Mountain has suffered more than half of its casualties and has been disabled!" Xiong  Wu said.

    Wang Xiao nodded: "The General Staff Headquarters will quickly replenish these troops! In addition, all meritorious personnel will be rewarded, and they will be promoted when they are due. The General Staff Headquarters will come up with a specific plan!"

    "Don't worry, Commander. The General Staff Headquarters will arrange these things. In addition, the war is over. Should we ask Yuze to return to Chengdu?" Xiong Wu asked.  Wang Xiao's health is getting worse and worse. Wang Yuze will have a guarantee if he returns to Chengdu as early as possible.

    "Let's wait for him to take care of the border affairs first! It's not urgent to come back, my old man can still hold on!" Wang Xiao said.  Because he heard the news of the victory of the Western Sichuan Army, he was in a very good mood and his face was flushed, but no matter how you looked at it, it gave people a feeling of returning to the past.

    "Yes, Marshal!" Xiong Wu nodded.  However, as Wang Xiao's in-laws and Wang Yuze's father-in-law, he still felt that he should make plans in advance.  Especially now that there are still some people in the Western Sichuan Army with evil intentions, the army must prepare early.  Otherwise, once chaos breaks out, even if the rebellion can be eliminated in the end, Western Sichuan will definitely suffer heavy losses.  Western Sichuan is now in a stage of rapid development and cannot be interrupted by this.

    On the afternoon of the 21st, the cabinet members of Western Sichuan and the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff all gathered in the conference room of the diplomatic mission.  Wang Xiao summoned everyone, and although everyone didn't know what happened, they all came.

    "Chief of Staff Xiong, has something big happened? Why did the commander-in-chief decide to summon us at this time?" Prime Minister Liang Xingrong asked.  Because the news of Wang Yuze's victory has only come out now, and the General Staff Headquarters has kept it secret, the cabinet still doesn't know the specific situation.

    "Something happened, but it's a good thing!" Xiong Wu said with a smile.

    "Is it the border area?" Liang Xingrong asked.  But Xiong Wu smiled and said nothing.  This left Liang Xingrong a little confused.  Has the war been won at the border again?  Didn¡¯t he just win once two days ago?  Now that the British and Indian troops are approaching, the border should be in a bitter battle!

    Many cabinet members are also confused.  The General Staff Headquarters must know the specific information, but they just don't reveal anything about it, which makes many cabinet members hate it.

    Soon, Wang Xiao appeared.  After not seeing Wang Xiao for a few days, everyone felt that Wang Xiao's body seemed to be getting thinner, and he felt shaky even when he walked.  If Wang Xiao's face was not still glowing red, they would have thought that Wang Xiao was about to die.  However, even so, it seems that it won't be delayed for long.  The cabinet members all have some worries. The rapid development of Western Sichuan over the years is inseparable from Wang Xiao's helm.  If something happens to Wang Xiao, can western Sichuan still develop stably?  Although Wang Yuze, as a young marshal, has shown outstanding talents, he is too young and lacks quality, which makes these cabinet members a little worried.

    "Good afternoon everyone!" Wang Xiao said.  His voice was no longer as loud as before, and seemed a little hoarse.

    "Hello, Commander!" Everyone stood up and said to Wang Xiaosalute.

    "Everyone, sit down. I have called you all together today because I have something important to tell you. At noon today, the staff headquarters received news from the border. Our army has made significant achievements in the battle with the British and Indian troops.  Victory. The war is basically over!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.

    "What? Victory? Victory so quickly?" the cabinet members exclaimed.  Until the Western Sichuan Army, they only had more than 20,000 people on the border, while the British and Indian Army had more than 50,000 people. It can be said that they are coming in a menacing manner!  Everyone was still unsure whether the Western Sichuan Army could withstand the attack of the British and Indian troops, but in the blink of an eye, the Western Sichuan Army had already won. This change was too big!

    ¡°Chief of Staff Xiong will tell you the specific situation!¡± Wang Xiao said.

    "Yes, Marshal!" Xiong Wu nodded, and then said: "Everyone, last night, the British army mobilized tens of thousands of elite troops to launch an attack on Volta Mountain. The Marshal seized this opportunity and asked the Ninth Brigade to defend Volta.  Mountain defense line, the other 7th and 8th brigades stormed the British and Indian army's frontal defense line, and finally broke through the British and Indian army's defense line. Then they surrounded all the British elite troops attacking the Volta Mountain. This morning, the surrounded British ** troops  Already surrendered. In this battle, we captured more than 10,000 British troops, and there were more than 20,000 Indian troops. The commander of the British and Indian troops was Lieutenant General Henry Wellesley, the third generation of Wellington.  The Duke is also among our prisoners. There are also four British Army Brigadiers!" Xiong Wu said excitedly.  He knew that even after the Western Sichuan Army won the last victory, there were some in the cabinet who were not optimistic about this battle.  But now, the performance of the Western Sichuan Army has undoubtedly taught these people a good lesson.

    "Okay! We finally won. Now, everyone can focus all their attention on the development and construction of western Sichuan!" Prime Minister Liang Xingrong said.  Because Western Sichuan was at war with the United Kingdom, various construction projects in Western Sichuan were more or less affected.  The news that the Western Sichuan Army had achieved a great victory would undoubtedly quickly calm people's hearts.

    The rest of the cabinet members also nodded.  Without external threats, Western Sichuan will undoubtedly be able to develop more rapidly.

    "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must immediately start negotiations with the British. Now, the British side does not know the news of their failure. We must seize the time to negotiate with them. Now, we have tens of thousands of British prisoners of war in our hands, and there are 20,000 more  Many Indian prisoners of war, as well as a lieutenant general Duke and four brigadiers should be able to give us the upper hand. I have only one request. During the negotiations with the British, we must ensure that our interests in western Sichuan are not harmed. At the same time, we have so many  The British may need some blood to redeem the prisoners of war!" Wang Xiao said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Commander, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do our best!¡± Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang replied.  This time, the Western Sichuan Army achieved a great victory, which undoubtedly made his waist straighter.  Before, Zhu Erdian warned that Western Sichuan would regret it, but now, the British side should really regret it!  This time, Britain is destined to be greatly embarrassed around the world.

    "Well! Major newspapers can also announce this news to the people tomorrow, so that everyone can share our victory. Let the whole world know that we in Western Sichuan are strong!" Wang Xiao said.

    "Yes, Marshal!" Now, all major newspapers are supervised by the cabinet. Naturally, the cabinet will notify the major newspapers of this news.

    After the meeting, Wu Tingfang made an urgent appointment with the British Consul in Chengdu, Zhu Erdian.  When Zhu Erdian came, he was still in high spirits.  He thought that the Western Sichuan Army could no longer hold on, so he wanted to compromise.  In comparison, this time the British side has a very large advantage and is very likely to win the battle.

    However, he never expected that after meeting, Wu Tingfang directly told him the bad news that the British army had failed and even the commander was captured.  Zhu Erdian immediately turned pale. At the same time, he said that he had not received such news yet and that he would need to verify it before confirming it.  Soon, Zhu Erdian left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in western Sichuan in embarrassment.  After returning to the consulate, Zhu Erdian immediately contacted the embassy in Beijing and asked them to confirm the news.

    The next day, major newspapers in western Sichuan reported the news that the western Sichuan Army had achieved a great victory and captured tens of thousands of British and Indian troops.

    Suddenly, western Sichuan became a sea of ??joy.  People everywhere organized spontaneously to celebrate this victory.  Before, when Western Sichuan went to war with the world's most powerful country, everyone was still a little frightened.  But now, they actually won, which made everyone feel proud and proud.

    At the same time, the news that Western Sichuan defeated the British and Indian troops and achieved a great victory quickly spread to the world, causing shock in various countries.  If the last victory in Western Sichuan can be attributed to luck or other reasons, then how can we explain it this time?  All countries have a common understanding that?That is, the British Empire has really declined.
