Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Blade at My Waist

Chapter 39 The sharp blade on my waist

In 1907, the movements in Russia were finally and largely quelled. The after-effects of the Russo-Japanese War seem to have been eliminated www.biquge.info and most of the revolutionaries have fled abroad or disappeared. But in the Far East, the situation for the Russians has become even worse.

Since China's general reunification, a rapid process of industrialization has begun. Industrialization is a process that is getting faster and faster, and in the beginning, heavy industry was a gold-eating beast, which only consumed a lot of money and resources, but did not produce much.

But as long as you get past the initial stage, heavy industry will be able to feed back to other industries. At the end of the day, heavy industry is a process of entropy reduction within a range. It is the process of transforming a closed system from disorder to order through the input of energy.

Taiyuan and Handan together have an annual output of more than 7 million tons of steel, which soon led to the development of railways, factories, freight and other systems in various places. The whole of China is like a fast-moving train, and it is like a super huge construction site. Every day something new comes along, and every day a new miracle happens.

In the process of China's rapid industrialization, Britain, France, the United States, Germany and other powers have benefited a lot. Japan, a neighboring country separated by a strip of water from China, has also benefited greatly from this wave of industrialization.

However, it is China itself that has benefited the most. Although it is burdened with a lot of debt, and although its monetary policy has not yet been accepted by other countries, its strong industrial strength ensures that China can maintain a large modern army for a long time.

Even after disarmament, China still retains a standing army of 1.5 million troops. Of these, 300,000 are deployed in the northeast. This massive, armed to the teeth, oppressed the Russians almost breathlessly.

Although the Russians lost their troops and territory in the Russo-Japanese War, they deployed more than 200,000 troops in the Far East after the war. Previously, because of the turmoil in the country and the embarrassing financial situation, the Russians maintained a restrained attitude towards the Chinese step by step.

Two years later, the Russians found that they could no longer maintain restraint. If there are more people, Russia will never be able to compare with China. Compared with steel production, Russia's struggling finances determine that its output will only be thrown further and further by the Chinese.

There are only two ways in front of the Russians, either to fight hard or to be slowly eaten away by the Chinese. If you don't fight, you'll die, and if you do, it seems that you can't beat it.....

While the Russians were agonizing over what to do, the Chinese launched a military exercise on the border of the areas under the de facto control of the two sides. In the course of the exercise, the Chinese side said that a soldier had been lost and that it needed to search the city controlled by the Russians.

Mom//, the Russians are not without bloody men. How can such an excuse, which is clearly an insult to people's intelligence, fool Russians with a strong patriotic spirit? An officer of the defending army immediately and justly rejected the unreasonable demands of the Chinese.

This kind of reasonable, well-founded and restrained behavior has been praised by many international friends, who believe that it embodies the good quality of the Russian nation. Yes, having discovered the ill-will of the Chinese, the Russians stabbed what was happening in the Far East to the international community.

Many countries have sent groups such as human rights organizations to the Far East to get the Chinese not to ignore the condemnation of the international community and launch a war against the Russians.

Then, under the pretext that the soldiers were lost, the Chinese army brazenly launched an attack on the Russian army. Condemnation from the international community? What's that? Can you eat it? A dozen or so train guns had already been transported to the vicinity, and they opened fire along with other cannons of various calibers, directly drowning the small city in a sea of fire.

The Chinese army, which has become more wealthy, fired 100,000 rounds of large-caliber artillery shells in the first fire coverage. The Russian troops stationed there had lost half of their forces before they could engage in battle. After the Chinese launched an infantry attack, the remaining soldiers either surrendered with their hands raised, or were stabbed to death or beaten into a hornet's nest in the ensuing white-knuckle battle.

The evil Chinese used lever-type shotguns in battle, and if one shot went down, even if they did not die, their faces would become a hornet's nest. When in the trenches, this kind of shotgun-like thing is much easier to use than a rifle with a long body. In addition, the Chinese are also equipped with a lot of pistols, and during white-knuckle warfare, often the Russians are put together by shotguns and pistols before they rush in front of them.

Fighting a war is a contest of money, materials, and personnel. The Chinese have more money, more ammunition and even more troops. The Russians, with the exception of a small number of field encounters, were largely defeated.

In all battles of more than 10,000 people, the Chinese were always able to gather several times the superiority in firepower and won every battle. By the time winter came, the Russians had largely been driven out of the northeast. In other words, the land acquired by the Russians during the Gengzi period has been completely lost.

Not only did they lose their land, but in a series of battles, the Russians lost seventy percent of their heavy weapons and fifty percent of their troops, and most of the remaining troops were scattered, making it difficult for them to regain their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

During the war, the Japanese wanted to put some pressure on the Chinese side, despite the fact that they were still vomiting blood despite their own great vitality. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that when the Russians kneel, it will be the turn of the Japanese next.

However, the Russo-Japanese War almost broke the backbone of the Japanese, and the whole of Japan was saddled with astronomical debts. The Japanese treasury is literally capable of starving rats. It is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.

Moreover, after the Russo-Japanese War, those desperate soldiers did not return to their hometowns, and found that life in their hometowns had not changed for the better, but for the worse. The industries that had developed by collecting high taxes from the people were also divided up by the conglomerates, leaving the people with only infinite debts.

Under such circumstances, no matter how much the government advocated it, many Japanese people began to become dissatisfied. Especially compared to China next door, the common people are like living in two worlds. No matter how hateful the Chinese are, at least they will still make people fed.

And what about the Japanese government? actually had to force the girls of his country to go to Nanyang to sell themselves in order to survive.

Before I knew it, a song called "Song of the Japanese Restoration" began to be sung in Kanto Kansai.
