The beginning after the end of Chapter 34

While fighting in a pot of porridge on the battlefield in China, the Russian Baltic Fleet circled the Earth and sank in the seas to the east. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this has already determined that the Russians will no longer be able to win the war. Similarly, the Japanese failed to annihilate the main forces of the Russians on land.

Dashan Yan, who was bent on fighting the second battle of Sedang, had to admit that the Japanese army did not have the strength to completely expel the Russians from the northeast, and if they continued to fight, it would only be a long war of attrition. At this time, Japan's domestic economy was on the verge of collapse, and Russia was also turbulent, with various uprisings and riots emerging one after another.

The Russian tradition is that the monarch can be brutal, he can be debauchery, he can do everything that tramples on the world's etiquette and lower limits, but he can't lose the war. The army fought ugly, lost troops and lost territory. The navy was simply wiped out, and there was no longer a chance to find a place to return, and then domestic discontent turned into a huge wave of resistance.

During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese secret agent genius Akashi Motojiro funded and instigated the opposition of the tsarist government in Russia to launch a revolution, turning the Russian hinterland upside down, and after the Battle of Tsushima, the ruling group headed by Nicholas II completely lost the hope of winning the war and using the victory of the war to stifle the revolution.

For another century, under such circumstances, US President Theodore Roosevelt was happy to intervene. After fierce bargaining, Russia was forced to sign a peace treaty with Japan at Portsmouth on 5 September 1905. The Portsmouth Peace Treaty stipulated that Russia recognized Japan's political, military, and economic "superior interests" in Korea and that it would not hinder or interfere with any Japanese measures against Korea.

Russia transferred to the Japanese Government the lease of the territorial waters of Port Arthur, Dalian Bay and its adjacent territories, as well as other related privileges. Russia transferred to the Japanese government the railway from Changchun (Kuanchengzi) to Lushunkou and all its branches, as well as all its rights, property, and coal mines.

In addition, the treaty provided for the permanent cession to Japan of the southern part of Sakhalin and Russia's lease of the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as all the islands in its vicinity. The Japanese cost was more than 50,000 killed in battle (killed on the spot and wounded), plus 88,000 killed by disease and some other deaths.

In a world where the Japanese were better equipped and the Russians had more troops stationed in the northeast, casualties on both sides increased dramatically. The Russians suffered more than 400,000 casualties, while the Japanese alone lost more than 100,000 deaths. The number of casualties is not yet nothing, there are a lot of cheap cannon fodder in both countries.

But in this war, it has been proven that without enough technical weapons, without more machine guns and artillery, people will be pressed and beaten on land. The Japanese were not brave, and the Russian soldiers were also quite brave and good at fighting, but the brave fighting of the soldiers on both sides did not change the situation of confrontation on the battlefield.

In the end, apart from greater casualties, the result was no different from history. The Japanese had nothing to gain except to gain more land and spheres of influence. The Russians refused to pay even a single copper plate as an indemnity. This is normal, even if the Russians are wiped out in the Far East, will the Japanese still be able to fight all the way along Siberia to the European zone?

What you can't get on the battlefield, don't want to get at the negotiating table. The Russians will only give in to the threat of the stronger, and they will not give an inch to those who cannot bring them to their knees.

"Oh, that is, in the Russo-Japanese War, we were actually playing soy sauce?" Lin Mengchu said: "This kind of behavior of not daring to reason by yourself at all, and forcibly letting the plot develop according to the original script after adding major weights, will be vigorously despised." ”

"Well, isn't that going for the New Year......"

"What did you say?"

"Oh, I mean, it's not surprising." Chen Cheng said: "We used to focus on the country, and the impact on the world was not so great, and now it is just a regional force. If you forcibly say that it will not affect the course of the Russo-Japanese War, it is not that no one will not be able to go there. ”

"And we're going to continue south?" The girl said: "Now that the Japanese and the Russians are defeated, it is a great time for us to unify the whole country." Besides, our foxes are already so powerful, and we don't need to look at the faces of the great powers. It's running so well, we just need to go over. ”

"Or is it time for us to influence the world?" Chen Cheng said: "Now among the strong enemies around us, Japan and Russia are exhausted, and they no longer have the strength to project troops abroad. The United States does not pose any threat to us across the vast Pacific Ocean, and even if it wants to threaten us with its fleet in the China Sea, it will be very much worth the loss.

After the Battle of Sedan, the French were already a member of the second-rate echelon among the great powers, and there was nothing remarkable. The only thing that threatens us a little now is the United Kingdom. But as long as the operation is good, the British will not fight with us.

That is to say......."

"In other words, it's time for us to start blowing up the Great Fleet and then robbing the colonies all over the world?"

"Well, before that, we need to deal with the things in the northeast backyard first, right?"

"Going north?" Lin Mengchu said: "What about the things in the south?" We've mobilized millions of people to fight in the south. ”

"Simple," Chen Cheng said: "The army under Feng Guozhang's command must be eliminated, together with Yuan Shikai behind him." But we can just push it to the edge of the Yangtze River. The rest of the matter does not need to be resolved by force, but only by political means. ”

"Cut," Lin Mengchu said disdainfully: "If you don't have a broom, the garbage won't disappear by itself." If our army doesn't move over, the enemy won't surrender obediently. Even if you are a reactionary, you have to struggle before you die, are you taking it for granted? ”

"It used to be, but not now." Chen Cheng said: "We only need those coastal land, such as Guangzhou, Hainan, Fujian, etc., and the rest of the territory can be managed by Yang Hongsen and those in Guangxi." ”

"Isn't Yang Hongsen Sun Wen's general? He's going to join forces with us? ”

"He can't help it, the sickle and axe set has made him gain too much hatred, and now there have been several fights in Hubei and Jiangxi. And since we have the momentum to sweep the world, as a Chinese, it is normal to add in. Who called the Chinese have a plot of great unification. ”
