The 109th festival of Russian negotiations

With the vigorous development of the workers' movement in Russia, the receipt of a huge amount of funding from Comrade Vladimir, and the clandestine infiltration of weapons into Russia through various channels, a revolution is already quietly being prepared, and it is destined to be more ferocious than the historical burst, because he has been backlogged for a longer period of time, like a volcano, and the pressure of accumulation is greater.

But the tsar did not give up the war, but his army did not seem to be so powerful, after attacking the main force of the Japanese army attacked many times, but was repelled by the Japanese army, and the Japanese have rebuilt the port of Dalian, all kinds of supplies in and out from here, using the transportation capacity of the port of Dalian, the Japanese army was reinforced, not only supplies materials, but also supplied personnel, and the Japanese transport ship sent 100,000 people in just ten days.

The comparison of forces in Liaodong is tilting towards the Japanese army step by step.

The frontal troops of the Russian army have never been able to break through the positions heavily defended by the Japanese, and the Lushun guards are very good at defense, but when they attacked, they were still massacred by Japanese machine guns in large numbers.

The battle between Japan and Russia for the Liaodong Peninsula seems to be stuck in an endless circle.

In this case, the Americans again made a voice of mediation, and both Russia and Japan accepted.

However, the Russians wanted to place the negotiations in Paris, and the Japanese wanted to place them in Yantai, and in the end they both accepted the Americans' proposal and placed them in the small American city of Portsmouth.

In fact, at this time, both sides could not fight, although the war was only five months longer than the original history.

But in the past five months, Russia's domestic economy has continued to deteriorate, and Japan's economy has actually been worse, but the Japanese can just tolerate it better.

It was only a matter of time before the revolution broke out in Russia, and it was still in question whether the tsarist government would survive.

Germany and Austria-Hungary had made a secret agreement that in the event of a revolution in Russia they would form a combined army to defend their good brother, His Majesty the Tsar of Russia, and no one knew how far they would defend it.

The British told Japan that they already owed 3 billion yen in debt, and with Japan's current economy, it would take at least 50 years to repay, and hoped that Japan would end the war as soon as possible, and the United States also hoped that Japan would end the war as soon as possible, because the Japanese had borrowed too much money.

Both creditors expressed their opinions, the Japanese really didn't want to fight, the young and strong people in the country were all withdrawn to fight, the factories were under-opened, the farmland was seriously barren, and they couldn't support it for a year, and the disadvantage of manpower made them completely unable to see where the hope of fighting with the Tsarist army was.

As for the domestic problems of the tsar, the Japanese did not dare to bet on whether the tsar died first or Japan died first. Even if the tsar is overthrown, what will happen to the new Russian government? Nor did they dare to guarantee what would happen to the Russians if they thought about the new government and all the nations that would dare to go to war after the French Revolution.

Therefore, as long as the Russians give them enough sweetness, the Japanese will admit it.

But it is impossible for the two hungry wolves to be satisfied, and the bloody mouths are very large.

Japan demanded that Russia withdraw from Northeast China, cede Sakhalin Island (Sakhalin Island) to Japan, and compensate Japan for military expenses of 3 billion yen, and hand over Lushun and Dalian to Japan, and Vladivostok should not be fortified, and it would be a free commercial city.

Russia's demand was that Japan withdraw its troops from the Liaodong Peninsula and that Korea be bounded by the 38th parallel, with Japan enjoying special interests south of the 38th parallel and Russia enjoying special interests north of the 38th parallel.

Just a month earlier, the Tsar had ordered his mighty navy to sail to Tokyo, and the Japanese had pretended to accept negotiations to cede Hokkaido in order to confuse him, and now they had put forward such harsh conditions, which the Tsar considered utterly insulting, and he clamored for the continuation of the war.

The Japanese also said that they would continue the war and would never accept victory without war reparations.

Russia stressed that the Japanese did not win.

It seems to be even stronger than the last communication, but there is no substantive military action on either side.

Yang Chao had already seen the faces of the two countries, because both countries stopped purchasing arms from him at the same time.

However, the two arsenals did not stop production, and Yang Chao sent the 200,000 rifles and 2,000 machine guns that had accumulated during this period to the volunteers who armed Ma Huowa in the northeast.

The Northeast Volunteer Army has developed rapidly, occupying various hills and waging guerrilla warfare, and has exceeded 100,000 people.

They were active in the mountains north of Anshan, and the Russians had no energy to exterminate them, blowing up the railway lines, attacking lone and small groups of Russian troops, so that the Russians were overwhelmed but helpless.

In fact, it was not only Yang Chao who supported Ma Huowa, but the Japanese also vigorously supported them; when Japan withdrew its troops from Mukden and Liaoyang, they gave more than 100,000 rifles, hundreds of machine guns, and more than 300 mountain guns to bandits in various places.

The Volunteer Army led by Ma Huwa was the one who received the most.

However, 100,000 people is already the limit of Ma Huowa's troops, weapons and ammunition are secondary, but the food problem is very serious, Yang Chao can send arms to them again and again, but the food can not meet the requirements at all, and most of them have to be raised locally.

Yang Chao asked them to have a good relationship with the local people, and sent them millions of silver dollars, but in these years, where is the grain so easy to buy, the Russians have searched again and again, and the common people have long been accustomed to hiding the grain, and in the face of the pressure of survival, the level of the people's hiding of grain is getting higher and higher, and the Russians can't find it, and Ma Huowa can't search it, let alone buy it.

Moreover, in order to avoid the Russian army and obtain supplies on the spot, they scattered into hundreds of hills, and most of them were near the Liao River.

But at this time, after Yang Chao sent him supplies again, he asked him to contact the bandits in various places as soon as possible, use weapons, ammunition, silver dollars, and even official positions to win over the bandits, and do his best to twist more bandits into a rope, in the hope of launching a unified action.

Yang Chao said at this time that he would play a global tour.

Yang Chao, a-stirring stick with great energy in the Russo-Japanese War, wanted to travel around the world, and the ministers of various countries attached great importance to it, and repeatedly confirmed whether Yang Chao was carrying a diplomatic mission, but they were all denied by the Qing government.

However, Zaifeng was looking forward to it, because Yang Chao told him that he wanted to go to the West to persuade the Russians to withdraw from the Northeast, but said that he might lose some rights and interests in the Northeast, such as the right to open mines.

The Northeast has been occupied by the Russians for five years, and the land cannot be recovered, as long as the Russians can withdraw their troops, and then the Qing army can enter the Northeast to swear sovereignty and recover the land of their ancestors, Zaifeng is a big Zhongxing master, where will he worry about the issue of mining, saying that it doesn't matter if it is all sold, as long as the Qing army and officials can enter the cities in the Northeast.
