With the localization of Algeria and the abolition of the National Guard on track, the time had reached mid-August.
Jerome Bonaparte finally turned his attention from domestic to foreign affairs, and it was at this time that Valerovsky brought the latest situation of the Russian Empire to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Your Majesty, according to information from St. Petersburg! The war on the Moscow front has been decided!" Valerovsky reported to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Who exactly won?" Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly inquired of Valerovsky.
"His Majesty Emperor Alexander II!" Valerovsky replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Hmm?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Valerovsky with a puzzled expression.
Logically, the victory should belong to the forces under Golitsyn, as the distance from St. Petersburg to Moscow is closer than that from Odessa to Moscow.
Moreover, there is a railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg to assist, so it seemed that the Golitsyn government should have won.
