The successful signing of the [Sino-Russian Harbin Treaty] also made East China completely reassured. Overall, the vast majority of the veterans were satisfied with the content of the [Sino-Russian Harbin Treaty], and Bi Jing received an indemnity of 1.2 billion rubles, about 12,700 pounds, 1.08 billion silver dollars, and recovered about 750,000 square kilometers of lost territory, which was a major victory in any way. Although there are still a few patriarchs who are dissatisfied with the treaty and believe that all the more than 600,000 territories ceded by the Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty should be recovered, the vast majority of the patriarchs are still sensible and know that such a result is almost the limit of East China's **, in fact, the war has gone to this point, and it has also had a certain impact on the lives of the patriarchs, and many daily necessities have begun to be supplied in limited quantities, so ending the war as soon as possible is also the consensus of most of the patriarchs.

In the Executive Yuan, it is even more hoped that the war will be ended as soon as possible, so that East China can fully unfold the Second Five-Year Plan and concentrate all its energy on the affairs of developing the economy and establishing industrialization.

On the second day after the signing of the [Sino-Russian Harbin Treaty], East China ** announced the suspension of material control and restrictions, and restored normal social order, and also announced that it would publish the [Far East War Record] in 3 months, giving a comprehensive introduction to the Far East War.

In fact, this plan was put forward by the Culture, Education, and Health Commission after the naval battle in the Taiwan Strait, because at that time East China had already locked in the victory of the Far East War, and in order to make full use of the dividends brought by this war to East China and maximize the benefits of this war, the Culture, Education, and Health Commission suggested that we could start editing a book that comprehensively introduced the Far East War, on the one hand, to meet the needs of people from all walks of life to understand the psychology of this war in an all-round way, and on the other hand, to take the opportunity to publicize East China and strengthen East China again It is the status of the guardian of China, and to create favorable conditions for public opinion to replace the Qing court in East China.

Of course, the Executive Yuan supported this proposal, because this victory was originally the most important achievement of East China, defeating the four major powers of Britain, France, Japan and Russia at one time, such a record can be regarded as a miraculous victory even if it is placed in the world, not to mention that in this era, China, which has been defeated repeatedly and lost its power and humiliated the country, is of course worthy of special mention, how to sublimate, how to elevate is not too much.

And East China has decided to overthrow the Qing court in the second five-year cycle, officially stated, from the strength of East China, there is no suspense to defeat the Qing court, Guan Jian is public opinion oriented, on the one hand, the Qing court is corrupt and incompetent, but after all, it is the legitimacy of ruling China for more than 260 years, in this Chinese society that is still dominated by the supremacy of imperial power, the legitimacy of East China's behavior to replace the Qing court is still very questionable, and this victory in the Far East War is undoubtedly a time to establish East China in Chinese society Replacing the Qing court is the legitimacy of the mandate of heaven, and it is also necessary for the Qing court to exhaust its anger and deserve to be destroyed. In this way, in the process of replacing the Qing court in East China**, the losses of Chinese society could be minimized.

Although the Far East War was all over, Qin Zheng still needed to stay in the Northeast for a while to stabilize the situation in the Northeast, so he could not return to Qingdao for the time being, and at this time, the German mission to visit East China was about to arrive in Shanghai.

Prince Heinrich, who had remained in Qingdao, also left Qingdao and rushed to Shanghai to join the German mission. On the one hand, Prince Heinrich was the chief representative of the mission, and of course could not wait for the mission to come in Qingdao, but to meet the mission in Shanghai, and then arrive together in Qingdao, to the east of China** On the other hand, Prince Heinrich also needs to communicate with the mission before making an official visit to Qingdao to understand the tasks of this visit to Qingdao and the goals that need to be achieved. Moreover, the mission departed from Germany more than 2 months ago, and during this time, some things happened internationally, and Germany may make some adjustments to the objectives of this visit, and the prince also has some information to report to the country, so it will also negotiate with the country, and only after these things are determined, can the visit to East China be launched.

It turned out that just one month ago, Britain and France formally signed a friendship treaty in London, England, and adjusted the contradictions between the two countries on the issue of colonies in Africa, Asia, and other countries, and stopped confrontation, which was called a sincere agreement. Although there were no military obligations under the Good Faith Agreement, it removed all kinds of friction between Britain and France, and thus allowed the two countries to further cooperate closely in other matters. Especially in the Moroccan crisis, Britain and France have actually stood on the same side.

In fact, during the War in the Far East, Britain and France had already negotiated the signing of a friendly treaty, but the signing of the treaty was postponed for the time being due to the formation of an expeditionary fleet to participate in the war in the Far East. Although the expeditionary fleet was defeated, the friendship treaty between Britain and France was steadily advancing, and the defeat of the expeditionary fleet hastened the two countries to stop confrontation and maintain as much consistency as possible in foreign relations. Because it is not only Germany that poses a threat to both countries, but also the rise of East China in the Far East also threatens the interests of both countries in the Far East, so it is urgent for Britain and France to join hands to jointly deal with the threats of all sides.

Britain and France formally moved towards reconciliation and joined forces, but also brought a huge threat to Germany, Bijing either of these two countries can not be underestimated, let alone join forces, before that, although the two countries are gradually getting closer, but there are still a lot of contradictions, so Germany is not in a hurry, but I did not expect that the two countries in order to deal with the common threat, compromise with each other, showing that the politicians of Britain and France still have a considerable pattern.

At this time, Germany also felt a heavy pressure, and urgently needed to find a new, powerful companion to counteract the pressure of the British and French alliances. East China is naturally the most suitable choice, it turns out that this visit, Germany is only planning to put forward the intention of alliance to East China, to test the attitude of East China, even if East China also has the intention of alliance, but the real alliance, and to what extent the alliance, whether it includes military obligations and other specifics, all need to be slowly renegotiated, Bi Jing Alliance, because it is an alliance with military obligations, related to the development of the country, is by no means an easy to decide the event, there is no time for a few years, there is no result.

But now Germany, as Wilhelm II, is a little impatient, hoping to be able to conclude a military alliance or reach an intention to conclude a military alliance in one visit.

The day after the signing of the [Sino-Russian Harbin Treaty], Britain and France both expressed their support for Russia to end the war, and decided to form a syndicate of banks from the two countries to lend loans to Russia, pay reparations to East China, and help Russia recover its economy. At the same time, Britain and France were also actively active, intending to draw Russia into the friendship agreement between Britain and France, form a triangular entente against Germany, and gain strategic superiority.

Although Germany is also doing its best to sabotage the activities of Britain and France, people of insight in Germany are also very aware that Germany has little chance in this diplomatic battle for Russia. Because first of all, Russia's debt, which has already owed France more than 4 billion rubles, is short of hands and soft-mouthed, and the same is true between countries, just this, Russia is difficult to completely decouple from France in a short period of time, followed by this reparation, and post-war recovery, Russia still needs a loan of 2 billion rubles.

In fact, Germany can't afford to borrow this money, and even borrow a little more, helping Russia to repay all the loans from France, and can afford to pay it, Bi Jing is now the world's first industrial country and the second economic country. However, there is a premise, that is, Russia must withdraw from the "Franco-Russian alliance", because it is impossible for Germany to lend money to a country that has participated in a hostile alliance against Germany, but if Russia cannot pay off, or pay off most of its loans, it will not be able to withdraw from the Franco-Russian alliance. Therefore, Germany must also be prepared for the second hand, that is, once Russia joins the Anglo-French Entente, Germany must have a reliable alliance to contain Russia, and East China is still the best and only option for Germany. This is another important reason why Wilhelm II urgently needed to conclude a military alliance with East China**, or to reach an intention to conclude a military alliance.

Finally, just two weeks ago, Britain announced that it would start construction of three Bellerophon-class battleships and three Vincent-class battleships this year and next. All 6 warships are dreadnought modifications.

It turned out that although the battleship Intrepid was in service, the fiasco of the expeditionary fleet still brought a huge impact to the British Navy, and during the test, the Dreadnought showed good performance and strong combat effectiveness, and the 2 small dreadnoughts of East China ** have also been tested in actual combat, proving that the design ideas of the Dreadnought are effective, so they can also be built in batches.

In addition, the Dreadnought itself has a certain experimental nature, only 10 main guns are installed in terms of firepower, and only 76 mm guns are retained for secondary guns to defend against small ** ships, but no matter how good the warship proves in actual combat, it also needs to be equipped with guns at all levels, all of which are indispensable. The Bellerophon class and Vincent class are to improve on these deficiencies of the Dreadnought, equipped with all levels of artillery, so the combat effectiveness is more powerful. Britain has also decided to start building six ships within two years to boost the morale of the British military. The construction period of one dreadnought is about 2 years, which also means that for a period of time, the UK will have 6 dreadnoughts under construction at the same time.
