"I would like to strongly condemn the East China Government for its aggression against Russian territory, which is not only the most malicious affront to the dignity of the Russian Empire, but also a grave betrayal of international conventions, a barbaric trampling on fairness and justice, a major breach of world peace and normal order, and even more so a destruction of the free and civilized world. Here I take the emperors and dictators of Russia, Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir and Novgorod; The great Russian Empire will never allow its territory to be savagely invaded, and its subjects will be ruled by infidels, and that all the subjects of the empire must give their strength to this end, and that we will regain the lost territory by great force, and that the invincible warriors of the empire will deal a heavy blow to the invaders and restore the glory of the empire. And here I would like to appeal to all the nations of free and civilized countries, to all the peoples of Europe, to all the faithful people of God to unite against the evil heretics from the East and to defend your faith and your homeland. ”

"Hehe, it seems that this time the East China government really hurt little Nick this time, and the statement issued was so incoherent, as if Little Nick forgot that Vratsenvostok was not snatched by Russia from the Qing State? Now it is just snatched back by the Qing people. And it seems that in the eyes of all the peoples of Europe, Russia is a heretic, and it is really ridiculous that Nick Jr. actually dresses himself up as a faithful believer in God. ”

"It's no wonder that Russia has a strong attachment to land, in the past hundred years, it has always been only Russia to grab the land of other countries, only in the Crimean War defeated, Russia lost a lot of land, but in the Crimean War Russia was defeated by the British, French, Turkish, Bulgarian and other coalition forces, and this time first lost to Japan, and then lost to the East China government, are the most despised yellow-skinned monkeys in Russia, so it is reasonable for His Majesty Nicholas to lose his temper. ”

"Hahaha! Honestly, I'd love to see it now, Nick Jr.'s expression is going to be amazing. Do you think it's necessary for me to have another meeting with Nick Jr.? ”

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the Treaty of Beyuk has been shelved indefinitely, and your meeting with His Majesty Nikolai will be meaningless. ”

The East China Government's attack on Vladivostok was an almost perfect success, giving the East China Government a decisive advantage at both the strategic and tactical levels. But the impact of the battle on the situation was much more than that.

First of all, the most influential is naturally the other party in the matter, Russia. The fall of Vladivostok had a huge impact on Russian society, which was the upper class. Prior to this, although Russia had suffered repeated defeats in battles with Japan and later the East China government, which had caused huge social shocks in Russia, the Russian upper class society had not reacted much. Just after the news of the defeat at the Battle of Tsushima reached Russia, the first thing Nicholas II said to his palace guard, General Rezevsky, was: "How nice the weather is! Do you want to go hunting tomorrow?" and half an hour later, Nicholas II was playing with an airsoft crow like a child in the imperial garden of the palace. Admiral Alesekev, the former Russian Governor-General of the Far East, who had returned from his post and returned home, still took his mistress to the theater the next day.

This is due to the fact that the previous battles were all fought in lands other than Russia, and for the Russian aristocracy, these defeats are not a big deal, the warships have been sunk, and it is a big deal to rebuild, anyway, Russia has resources, and the army has been wiped out, and it can be recruited again, anyway, Russia has a lot of two-legged sheep. But this time it was Russia's territory that was captured by the enemy, and although Vladivostok was seized by Russia, unlike Northeast China, Russia occupied Northeast China before the Russo-Japanese war, and Russia intended to incorporate it into its own country, but it was not really Russian territory after all. Vladivostok not only has a legal basis, but also has been incorporated into Russia for nearly 50 years, and all Russians have regarded Vladivostok as Russian territory, as a nation with a special attachment to the land, this is undoubtedly a huge shock.

Even the nobles, who had always been indifferent to the defeat, were shaken, and the impact of the loss of Vladivostok on the people was naturally even more conceivable.

After the "Sunday of Bloodshed", the apparently subsided social unrest tended to recover, and the constitutionalists, reformists, republicans, peasants, workers, petty bourgeoisie, each demanded reform, some demanded an end to the war, some demanded tax cuts, some demanded work, and even some of the nobles who had been the most stubborn supporters of the Tsarist autocracy realized that Russia needed to change, and that a greater social crisis was brewing.

Under these circumstances, Nicholas II naturally could not remain indifferent, so he immediately launched a speech, trying to use the defeat to arouse the hatred of the same enemy in Russian society and divert social contradictions. At the same time, Russia also actively engaged in diplomatic activities, demanding that the Japanese army immediately launch an advance to Liaodong to attract the strength of the People's Army in order to relieve the military pressure on Russia, and also demanded a loan from France to keep the domestic economy from collapsing.

In addition to Russia, the major countries of the world are also organizing relevant experts and personnel, either to conduct research and discussions, or to conduct military chess exercises, analyze tactics and strategies, estimate the trend and success or failure of the war, and judge the impact on their own countries. This is because the tactics of the East China government attacking Vladivostok were indeed unforeseen by all countries, and the success of this tactic not only made the war more complicated, but also spread more widely, and also made all the deductions about the development trend of the previous war of various countries ineffective, and they had to start all over again.

It turned out that this war had little to do with Germany, after all, Germany did not have much interest in the Far East, let alone much influence. However, one of the parties involved in this war, Russia, still had a very special significance for Germany.

The Franco-Russian alliance established 10 years ago has always been a great threat to Germany, which has put Germany in an unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts, so the dismantling of the Franco-Russian alliance and even pulling Russia back into its own camp and restoring the alliance of the three emperors have always been the primary goal of German diplomacy. However, over the past 10 years, Germany has made a lot of efforts, but it has always been ineffective.

The outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War gave Germany hope, so Germany paid considerable attention to this war, which had little to do with itself.

Initially, Germany's goal was to support Japan and the East China government in their war against Russia, hoping to use the power of Japan and the East China government to weaken Russia, although Russia's defeat in the Far East had to turn its interest back to the West and to the Balkans and Turkey. However, it was not terrible for Kaiser Wilhelm II, for he was confident that he could subdue the polar bear, which had exhausted his energy in the Far East, and even drove it for himself to help him deal with the British.

However, because Japan had the support of Britain and the United States, its demand for Germany was not large, so Germany's key support was the East China Government, which not only allowed the East China Government to issue bonds in Germany, but also decided to sell weapons and ammunition to the East China Government after the East China Government entered the war.

Before the Battle of Vladivostok, the war had progressed to Germany's satisfaction, and Russia had suffered another defeat at the Battle of the Ten Mile River. So Wilhelm II also began to carry out his own plan to subdue Russia.

On 10 July 1905, Wilhelm II made a routine trip off the coast of Sweden aboard the royal yacht Hohenzollern. A week later, he sent a telegram to Nicholas II at the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, inviting him to meet him at sea.

On July 23, Nicholas II met Wilhelm II on the yacht Polaris in the Büyuk Strait in Vyborg, on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland. The two cousins, the Emperors, had a close meeting on the cruise ship, and under the skillful guidance of Wilhelm II, the spearhead of the talks was successfully directed to the British, so the next day, the two Emperors signed a treaty of defense alliance between Germany and Russia against Britain in the cabin of the Polaris, known as the Treaty of Büuk.

Wilhelm II returned to Germany triumphantly with the Treaty of Büuk and boasted to his courtiers that the morning of July 24, 1905 had become a turning point in European history. The situation in my dear homeland has been greatly eased, and she has finally been freed from the terrible flanking attacks of Gaul and Russia.

However, Prime Minister Billow is obviously much more sober than the emperor, the Franco-Russian alliance has been more than 10 years, and a large amount of French capital has entered Russia, forming a tight binding with the Russian aristocracy and capitalists, in a sense, France has controlled Russia's finance, so the Franco-Russian alliance is not the kinship and personal friendship of the two emperors can be dissolved.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said to the emperor, but after all, Bilo is a scheming man, and he can see at a glance a flaw in the treaty of Beyuk, which can only come into force if "Europe is attacked by a European country", in fact, this article was added by Wilhelm II by his own cleverness. This meant that Russia did not need to attack India if there was a war between Britain and Germany, and that Germany would have to attack Britain if there was a war between Britain and Russia over India or Persia in Europe.

And Wilhelm II was speechless for a long time after hearing this, because such a treaty was too bad, but the treaty had been signed, and the black and white paper could not be changed, and in the end it was Billow who suggested that in the name of the prime minister, refuse to countersign the treaty to make the treaty enter into force, and put the treaty on hold forever. But it also meant that Germany completely lost its last chance to repair relations with Russia.

And at this time, the East China government won the Battle of Vladivostok, which made Germany seem to see a glimmer of light. If Russia cannot be subdued, it will naturally weaken Russia's strength as much as possible, and the East China Government is a good tool, not to mention that Germany has always had good relations with the East China Government, and now it is a creditor of the East China Government, so Germany seems to be able to do something. Wilhelm II called a council to discuss the course of the war and the role that Germany could play in the war.
