Chapter 545: The Ximen Armistice Agreement

Taking advantage of the confusion of Bayusek's consciousness shocked by the bad news, Wittoma finally asked the ins and outs of the Russian side's miraculous proposal, and then Wittoma especially wanted to hit the wall with his head, how could the Russians be so idiotic. Muravyov's case of hitting super shit luck also dares to copy, is it not hard enough to be beaten by the Manchurians?

When Muravyov fooled China, the Heilongjiang River valley was still a barren land of bitter cold, and the Manchurian army was a sparse tribal militia with bows and spears. At present, North Manchuria can rank among the top three industrial centers in the world, and the Manchurian Army is a well-equipped and well-trained army, which can be called the world's strongest army. And the people you bully are different! Muravyov is facing the son of a gentleman, Yishan, and the current Russian government is facing a generation of famous generals Goxinga and the extremely modern cabinet bureaucracy behind Goxinga. The Manchurians don't listen to your fools first, everything is professionally calculated and evaluated, and everything is decided after many discussions and analyses, which can be frightened in a few words.

The most outrageous of them is the military blackmail used by Russia. At that time, the entire Manchurian region was outnumbered, poor and weak, and there was a big war in the Guannai, so it was afraid of war. Guoxing'a is strong and strong, and he has been planning to fight for several years. And now is not before the war, nearly a million armies on both sides have been fighting for half a year, what is the use of you threatening war at this time.

Ba Yuse Ke talked about the Qing Dynasty at every turn, and he was even more stupid to the extreme. The Qing Dynasty was a little poorer, a little weaker, and a little backward in military level, but it was the hegemon of East Asia for 200 years! The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, not to mention that the Qing Dynasty is not dead! People want faces, trees and barks, the Qing Dynasty is a centralized monarchy, and they can't do impulsive things. Once the Qing Dynasty obtained equipment and technical assistance from Northern Manchuria, even if the organizational structure of the army was problematic, it would be a powerful army that should not be underestimated.

In terms of overall national strength, Russia has an advantage over the Qing Dynasty and North Manchuria, but specific problems must also be analyzed in detail. Russia has an advantage over North Manchuria's overall national strength, but it is not good in terms of technology, equipment, military level, and financial resources, and the only advantage is the territory area and population. If North Manchuria invades Russia in Europe, Russia's superiority can still be reflected, and in Asia, Russia will not only have no advantage at all, but will also be at a disadvantage. Russia's vast territory meant that the battlefield was very close to North Manchuria and far from the core of Russia, and it was very difficult for Russian supplies and soldiers to be transported to the Far East. And this thing is a chain reaction, because it is very difficult for Far Russia to transport people to the Far East, because the development is backward and the freight is expensive. If you want to start a big war of a million people, as in Crimea, you will have to go bankrupt without fighting Russia. The number and territory of the army in Northern Manchuria cannot be compared with that of Russia, but the people are fierce! Now that the war is all in Russia, North Manchuria, that is, the army is slightly insufficient, and it is very convenient to transport supplies.

Russia was stronger than the Qing in many ways, but it was precisely the manpower and territory that were inferior to the Qing Dynasty. Russia is a behemoth, and the Qing Dynasty does not need to be small at all, and Russia is mostly barren, but most of the Qing Dynasty is a world of flowers. In terms of manpower, the Qing Dynasty is the largest in the world, accounting for one-fifth of the world's population. It is not possible to practice the Qing Dynasty alone, but after adding North Manchuria, it is not possible to practice Russia.

With the technologically advanced North Manchu and the behemoth of the Qing Dynasty, even France could not be their opponent, that is, the British Empire could barely support it. Under such unfavorable conditions of the war, Russia chose such a heartless routine and was completely rushing to die. Unless Britain could directly enter the war, Russia would have to lose all its possessions in Asia, if not the country. The British, who are sincere in stirring up trouble, are of course only responsible for watching the excitement, and Guo Xinga did not go to Canada, so the British will not mix up this kind of bad thing, and can provide some weapon support, just to make Asia a little more chaotic.

After listening to Wei Tuma's analysis, Bayusek completely fell into a state of shutdown, and he didn't know what to do. Therefore, Zou Degui's waiting is no longer one day, but a full five days. This time it wasn't Bayusek's arrogant procrastination, but that the Russians really needed time to sort out the situation in front of them, and they had too much to study. However, this time Alexander II did not go to Muravyov again, the former Russian hero Muravyov caused great trouble for Tsarist Russia, and he was likely to become the biggest sinner in Russia.

After the Russians thought about it for five days, the two sides finally sat down at the negotiating table again, and this time Bayusek's attitude was much better, and he finally came up with a reliable plan. However, although the clause that came up with the second time is reliable, it is still wishful thinking on the part of the Russians, and the content is still very dreamy. Bayusek insisted on trying his luck, and Wittuma didn't try to persuade him again, but Wittoma knew that Boysek would be pouted badly.

The Russians finally abandoned the Treaty of Aihui and agreed to return the Outer Northeast to China, but other than that, they refused to back down an inch. Moreover, the Russians considered Sakhalin to be their geographical discovery, which had previously belonged to terra nullius, so Sakhalin was not within the scope of restitution. Occupying Sakhalin Island does not count, the Russians are still unwilling to pay compensation, let alone 200 million, 200 will not pay. For them, the failure of the invasion is already very hurtful, and the yellow race wants to find the whites for compensation, and there is no door.

"Let's fight for another half a year, and then we'll talk!" Zou Degui did not mention the request of Northern Manchukuo this time, and after reading Ba Yuseke's proposal, he directly postponed the peace talks half a year later. At present, Goxinga is just unable to fight any further, but it is still very rich to pack up the turtles in the urn and swallow Alaska, which is almost a no-man's land.

Helpless, Bayusek could only come up with the Russians' bottom line again three days later, and they agreed to return Sakhalin, but the other parties still refused to let go. Zou Degui just shook his head, refusing to say a word, and he had nothing to say. After 20 days of repeated tug-of-war, the two sides reached a consensus, Zou Degui felt that he was a little at a loss, but Ba Yuseke had the heart to commit suicide.

Because the place of signing between the two sides was on the porch of the West Courtyard of the Prime Minister's Yamen, this armistice agreement was called the "Ximen Armistice Agreement". According to the agreement, the west of Narem, south of Kilensk, and north of Yakutsk are all North Manchurian territory, and the Russian army will give up its stronghold in Okhotsk, but the part occupied by the Russian army on Temple Street is still owned by Russia, and Russia can retain the passage from Kilensk to Temple Street. Russia did not make any monetary compensation to Northern Manchuria for the war, but as compensation, all Russian possessions in Sakhalin, Alaska, and the Bering Strait area were transferred to Northern Manchuria.

Alexander II did not lose money to the yellow race, saving his face, and the Russians also kept the eastern access to the sea, although it was very imperfect, but at least they did not lose everything. Goxinga's territory has doubled and it is rich, but it is a pity that they have not been able to get the Russians away, which can be regarded as a fly in the ointment. But no matter what, this terrible war has finally come to an end.
