Tokyo, Japan.

Today, Tokyo doesn't have the atmosphere of a big city at all. The blockade of Japan by the Chinese Navy has caused a strict problem in Japan's food supply, the price of rice has been rising, and many rice shops are out of stock, which has forced the Japanese living in Tokyo to flee to the countryside. Originally, the people in this star looked down on the countrymen. But the countrymen farm, even if the rent is heavy, but they can still get a little food, plus the wild vegetables in the mountains, they can barely eat. But the people in the city can't do it, a large number of factories are bankrupt and closed, they can't get paid, and if they stay in the city, they will only starve to death.

At night, Tokyo is very deserted, except for the "tapping" sound of the leather shoes of the patrolling soldiers hitting the bluestone slabs. Occasionally, horse-drawn carriages would pass by, but these were the benefits only high-ranking officials of the Japanese government. Because of the lack of food, the Japanese cabinet has banned the breeding of horses. All the food for the horses was used to feed the army, and even the horses were slaughtered in many cases. Today, Japan is almost on the verge of collapse.

Japan, the Prime Minister's Office, is still brightly lit. Important members of the Japanese Cabinet are now gathering to discuss the current situation. It's just that everyone's faces are very ugly. On the table was a telegram sent back from China by Japanese Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki, the content of which was to sue the Japanese government. His efforts have completely failed, and China has completely closed the door to peace talks with Japan. Japan must be prepared to resist the Chinese invasion.

"Everyone, have you read the telegram sent back by Aoki-kun? The situation facing the Great Japanese Empire is very bad. The Americans have already succumbed, and the Russians are about to succumb. The British probably won't be able to hold out for long. In the end, we were left with Japan. The people of Shina have already made up their minds to destroy Japan. Now, there is no way back for Japan, and we must do it for the sake of the empire. The fight is over! The deep voice of Youpeng in Shan County sounded, and his tone was full of grief and indignation.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the army is ready, as long as the people of China dare to land in Japan, the army will fight to the death and make the people of China pay a heavy price!" War Minister Katsura Taro roared loudly. Merely. In the depths of his eyes, there was also a hint of panic. The squadron is so strong that it has defeated so many countries at the same time, which has put him under very great pressure. He also knew very well that once China made up its mind to land on Japan, the Japanese Army would have no chance of victory. That's why he screamed so loudly. It's nothing more than to hide the fear in my heart!

"Hmmm! That's the only way we can do it! The Shina people have always wanted to destroy Japan, especially the emperor of the Shina people, who is very hostile to the empire. This time, the time has come for Japan to live and die, and everyone must unite. Tide over the storm together! Shan County Youpeng said loudly. It's just that almost everyone is a little lacking in confidence. Hardly anyone would think that Japan would be able to escape this catastrophe, and their efforts were more like a death throes.

Emperor Meiji also received news that the failure of Aoki Shuzo's efforts meant that China would not let Japan go. This made Emperor Meiji very panicked, and his already bad health was even worse. However, he did not forget his mission, and he once again summoned the Minister of the Interior, Saigo Norimichi, and the Privy Council Chairperson, Saionji Kotoshi, to find a way to save Japan. It's just that Saigo Congdao and Xiyuan Temple Gongwang don't know what to do. Perhaps, all they can do is pray for Amaterasu's blessing!

The signing of a peace treaty between the United States and China also caused a great shock to Russia. Marshal Gurko's army was constantly retreating westward, while the squadron was in hot pursuit. Marshal Gurko's army, already suffering heavy losses. If the squadron doesn't stop attacking, maybe they will be wiped out. Once Marshal Gurko's army was wiped out, Russia would not be able to stop the attack of the squadron, much to the anger of Tsar Nicholas II.

At the same time, the rebellion in the south is already getting bigger. Throughout southern Russia, in the Don region, as well as in Ukraine, rebellions broke out everywhere. The rebels, attacking the cities, confiscating the property belonging to the Russians, as well as the nobles and the rich, lured more peasants and workers into joining the rebellion. Tsar Nicholas II ordered the garrisons in the south to put down the rebellion with all their might. However, the last effort failed. The Russian army in southern Russia can only retreat to a few key cities to protect itself, and it has no strength to attack outwards at all. In this situation of internal and external troubles, the reign of Tsar Nicholas II was already shaky.

The angry roar of Tsar Nicholas II echoed in the Kremlin, and several important ministers of the Russian government stood in front of him with frightened faces, their heads buried low, not daring to bear the tsar's wrath.

"You say, 'What are we going to do now?' The Chinese are pressing step by step, those damned rebels, I will hang them all! Tsar Nicholas II said with a grim face.

"Your Majesty, Chen still believes that the best solution now is to reach an agreement with the Chinese and stop the war with the Chinese. Now the situation of the empire is already very bad, if it drags on any longer, the empire is in danger of collapsing! "Prime Minister Sergei? Witt persuaded.

"However, Izvorsky telegraphed that the conditions put forward by the Chinese were too harsh, and that the Chinese seemed to have no intention of negotiating with us!" Tsar Nicholas II said suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, this should be Izvorsky's way out! Although the conditions of the Chinese are harsh, they are not impossible to negotiate, and as long as the Chinese agree to peace talks with us, we may make the Chinese lower the conditions. After all, the harsh conditions they put forward for the first time, apparently on their own deem, as long as Izvorsky is patient, will definitely make the Chinese give in. However, this time the situation in Russia is critical, and the Chinese must also know about our situation, so they deliberately did not negotiate with us, and they did this because they wanted to get more benefits from us. "Prime Minister Sergei? Witt said.

"These damn yellow-skinned monkeys, I won't let him go, one day, I'm going to let them return a thousand times more!" Tsar Nicholas II gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, since the empire has lost in this war and paid heavy losses, it is already inevitable. The most important thing now is to get through this crisis as much as possible. So, we have to be prepared to pay heavy losses! "Prime Minister Sergei? Werther reminded.

Tsar Nicholas II still had Hungarian doubts, after all, he knew that Russia had lost too many territories, and the Chinese were likely to demand continued occupation of these territories, and the thought of these made Nicholas II very painful. That's more than half of Russia's territory! Now it is occupied by the Chinese.

"Your Majesty, the latest news we have received, that the German army has begun to move frequently. There is a movement towards the border. These Germans, I'm afraid, want to take advantage of the weakness of the empire to bite the empire hard! "War Minister Alexey? Nikolaevich? Kuropatkin said suddenly.

"What? How can this be?" This news was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Tsar Nicholas II. One China will bring Russia to the brink of collapse, and if one Germany is added, then Russia will die.

"Is this news true?" Prime Minister Sergey? Witt also asked a little nervously.

"It's just a prediction, but there's a good chance it will come true. Our people found out that the Germans were secretly supporting those rebels of the Social Democratic Labour Party, so it is quite possible that Germany was preparing for an invasion of the Reich! "War Minister Alexey? Nikolaevich? Kuropatkin said.

"Bastard, this guy who robbed with fire!" Tsar Nicholas II roared angrily. Although he and Kaiser Wilhelm II were related, at this time, it was obvious that no one would care about family affection.

"Your Majesty, we must now do our best to negotiate peace with the Chinese and sign an armistice treaty!" Otherwise, once the Germans join the war, Russia will not be able to hold out! "Prime Minister Sergei? Witt said.

"Well, immediately go and send a telegram to Izvorsky, so that he can find a way to negotiate peace with the Chinese, he can make appropriate concessions, and he must sign an armistice treaty with the Chinese as much as possible!" Tsar Nicholas II finally said. He knew that there was no way out of the question, and if he did not compromise, perhaps Russia would be destroyed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Tsar Nicholas II finally compromised, Prime Minister Sergei? Werther breathed a sigh of relief.

Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky, who was far away in Beijing, also knew the urgency of the situation after receiving the harshly worded telegram. On the morning of August 29, early in the morning, he went to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang. Fortunately, Wu Tingfang didn't embarrass him anymore this time and met with him.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I have come to see you this time for the war that is currently going on between our two countries! This war has caused huge losses to both of our countries. His Majesty the Tsar of our country believes that for the sake of the traditional friendship between our two countries, it is time to end the war! Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky said.
