ps: Thank you for the reward of "Sword of Destroying the Sky", thank you for the praise and support of Vladimir, Pig Pig Afraid of Knife and Knife, etc., and the follow-up will be more exciting China and Russia went to war, basically driving Russia out of East Asia.

After the Russian army lost Chita, Nebuchu, and Ulan-Ude one after another, in order to prevent the squadron from advancing further and occupying the entire Siberia, according to the advice of the Minister of War Bystlov, the Russian army did not hesitate to blow up the Siberian railway that had been built at a great cost, as well as bridges in key areas, and the squadron's transportation distance was getting farther and farther, and the logistics support line was too long.

At this time, of the 6.216 million square kilometers of land in the Far East, the squadron had occupied 3.5 million square kilometers, and most of them were mineral-rich areas.

The crushing defeat of the Russian army in the Far East completely deprived Tsar Nicholas II of all hope of winning the war and using the victory to stifle the revolution at home, plus "Bloody Sunday"

Tragedy, the tsar's majestic "little father" among the people

The image completely collapsed, and Song Xiaofei turned to support Lenin's revolution in various parts of Russia and disrupted the rear of Russia.

However, Song Xiaofei's support for Lenin was neither large nor small, limited to bringing about a bloody revolution in Russia, but not so much that Lenin's Bolsheviks would take power in Tsarist Russia.

Because Song Xiaofei knew that if Lenin's revolution succeeded prematurely, it would harm China's interests, and Lenin would be much more difficult to deal with than Tsar Nicholas II.

Tsarist Russia was worried about internal and external troubles, so it decided to negotiate with the Chinese.

Russia also took possession of land in North America in 1787, but sold it to the United States in 1867 for $7.2 million, in present-day Alaska.

So Russia's relations with the United States were not bad, and Tsar Nicholas II asked Foreign Minister Rams. Astorf contacted the U.S. ambassador to Russia and asked the 26th President of the United States, Theodore. Roosevelt intervened in the Sino-Russian war.

Theodore. Roosevelt, known as Roosevelt Sr., was elected vice president of the United States in 1900 and President William Roosevelt in 1901. After McKinley was assassinated by anarchists, he was succeeded by vice president as president of the United States under the provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

At the age of 42, he was the youngest sitting president in U.S. history.

By the way, the teddy bear that swept the world is also related to him, he is hunting in Mississippi.

The refusal to kill a small black bear was reported by newspapers at this time and received praise from Americans.

The toy manufacturer of the town where he lives in RBAY took advantage of this launch with Theodore. Roosevelt was nicknamed "Teddy"

The fluffy doll bear of the same name, and asked him for title permission, Roosevelt thought it would not be a hot sale, so he allowed any manufacturer to use the name of the teddy bear for free, but from then on "teddy bear"

Swept the world.

Theodore. Roosevelt was happy to mediate, and for this purpose he visited China and held talks with Song Xiaofei in Beijing.

Taking into account the fact that Chita, Nebuchu and other Far Eastern cities are still more than 5,000 kilometers from Moscow, and the railway has been blown up by the Russian army, the autumn in Siberia is very short.

Soon it will enter a cold winter, which will not be conducive to the operation of the squadron.

Moreover, at this time, Russia had a population of 140 million and a land area of nearly 20 million square kilometers, and it was impossible to swallow the behemoth of Tsarist Russia in one go.

After Song Xiaofei consulted with Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and other high-ranking generals, it was decided that at that time, "only actual occupation can prove the right to rule a colony"

international principles.

First of all, China consolidated the 3.5 million square kilometers of land occupied by China and prevented Russia's future expansion in this region, so China connected Manchuria, Mongolia, and the Far East, and had the foundation for building and managing the New World, and planned to resettle 5 million people in three years, so it agreed to the mediation of the United States.

The reason why Song Xiaofei agreed to an armistice with the Russians was also because he received a secret report: something big happened to Japan!

After Wu Peifu went to the front line to serve as the commander of the machine gun battalion.

Cao Kun, who lost his supervision, was extravagant and extravagant in Japan, spending 100,000 yen to buy two Japanese geisha as his little wives.

And on February 23, 1901, Mitsuru Toyama and Yoshihei Uchida took advantage of the war between China and Russia on the basis of the original Genyosha.

The Black Dragon Society was organized and established in Tokyo, and its membership grew to more than 100,000 people, and Uchida Ryohei sent ronin to assassinate the "Kumazawa Daran" supported by Cao Kun

Emperor.

At this time, after three or four years of peaceful development, Japan's strength was also greatly strengthened, and the Black Dragon Society also advocated and privately lobbied senior officials through public opinion.

Japan was asked to restore its military and sovereignty.

Zhu Dixiang, who had been in exile in Europe, also secretly returned to Japan at this time, and newly established the Restoration of Sight Alliance, replacing the original Restoration of the Democratic Party banned by Song Xiaofei, Uchida Ryohei and later the founder of Japanese fascist theory Kita Ichiki also joined the Restoration of Sight Alliance one after another.

Uchida Ryohei and Zhu Dixiang made a secret agreement that Japan would provide 10 million to 20 million yen in aid to the Restoration of Sight League to launch a revolution at home, and once the revolution was successful, China would cede the three eastern provinces and Manchuria to Japan in some form.

At this time, the international situation facing China was also complicated, and from 1885 to 1900, the European powers basically completed the partition of Africa.

With the exception of Ethiopia and Liberia, the traditional African kingdoms of Ashanti, Dahomey, Sokoto, Buganda, and the Transvaal and Orange Free States, founded by the Afrikaners of European origin, became colonies or protectorates of Western countries, and Egypt, nominally independent but under full British control.

In Asia, the French conquered Laos and Cambodia, the British occupied the Malay Peninsula and North Borneo, and controlled the Persian Gulf and the southern Arabian Peninsula.

In Oceania, the emerging Germany bought colonies such as the Caroline Islands and the Mariana Islands from Spain.

In addition to directly conquering colonies, the colonial powers also turned some economically backward countries into semi-colonies, such as Siam, Persia, Afghanistan, the Ottoman Empire, etc., and seized the rights and interests in customs, transportation, commerce, road construction, mining, factories, banks, and military training in these countries.

At this time, the colonial powers were competing for new colonies or protecting existing ones, creating an extremely complex conflict of interests: Germany challenged Britain's world hegemony; Britain used France to contain Germany; Britain used China to contain Russia; France used Russia to contain Germany; Germany used Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire to encircle Russia, and Song Xiaofei knew that the outbreak of world war was inevitable as the means of fighting for colonies became more intense.

China must concentrate on developing a "dreadnought" similar to the UK as soon as possible

He ordered the expansion of China's army to 500,000 men, training new troops, and preparing for a world war.

Moreover, at this time, Song Xiaofei was still facing the problem of the relative independence of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, and other six or seven provinces, and he decided to free his hands from the Sino-Russian War to deal with this remaining problem, because he received information from the Ministry of the Interior, and the revolution propagated by Zhu Dixiang and others had a certain influence among the students and the new army in these areas, and democratic reform was bound to advance.

With the development of China's economy, China has many thorny livelihood problems to solve, such as health problems, although Sheng Xuanhuai's government has vigorously developed Western medicine, and strives to establish a modern medical and public health system, and all universities have set up medical specialties, but due to the lack of modern medical technology and sanitary conditions, common colds, fevers, coughs, stomach troubles and other symptoms were often fatal at that time.

Diseases of the respiratory and intestinal systems are the leading causes of death in the Chinese population.

At that time, the infant and child mortality rates in China were very high, and it was good for a mother to have five or six children, and in the end she could feed two or three.

However, after the start of peace talks between China and Russia, Nicholas II was whimsical at first: Tsarist Russia, a defeated country, "does not cut an inch of land and does not pay a single ruble"

。

Don't cede land and pay reparations if you win the battle, this kind of superficial "mercy"

It's just hypocritical, it's disrespectful to the lives of those soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for the country, Song Xiaofei resolutely refuses to be such a hypocritical leader, he said strongly, "Then there is nothing to talk about, China and Russia will continue to be in a period of war"

。

Later, after Theodore. Under Roosevelt's vigorous persuasion, Russia agreed to make concessions, and China and Russia signed the "Sino-Russian Armistice Outline Agreement", the main contents of which were: 1. Abolish all unequal treaties between China and Russia; 2. Russia renounces all concessions and leases of land acquired in China, and abolishes Russia's extraterritorial and consular jurisdiction in China; 3. The Russian-invested China Eastern Railway agreed to be taken back by China.

4. Recognize that the Far East occupied by China, such as Outer Mongolia, Outer Northeast China, Vladivostok, Sakhalin Island, and Nebuchu, is Chinese territory and that China has complete sovereignty.

5. Tsarist Russia shall pay compensation of 5,000 rubles to each of the Chinese soldiers who have died in China.

After the armistice between China and Russia, Song Xiaofei began to solve a series of new challenges such as the Japanese Tenryu Society and Zhu Dixiang.

Song Xiaofei knew that the road ahead would not be smooth sailing, but he secretly told himself in his heart: Although the world is sinister, life is a never-ending battle, and there is an abyss and a minefield in front of him, and he must also move forward bravely!
