After all, the Russians could not afford to spend it, and their own troop build-up and the embargo on Japanese supplies had already made the Japanese government aware of it, and Aoki Shuzo repeatedly asked the Russian ambassador to Japan for the reason. Seeing that the paper can't hold the fire. So the Russians really don't have time to talk to the North Sea. In the second negotiation, Tolkien very simply agreed to all the conditions put forward by Beiyang, and decided that he could first deposit 1.5 million pounds into Beiyang's bank account. And after the safe departure of the two Russian Azov-class armored cruisers, another 1.5 million pounds was worn. And after Beiyang helped the Russian battleship Rurik get out of trouble, Russia will put all the remaining 2.5 million pounds into Beiyang's account.

Of course, all of this is a secret treaty, which is not open and not recognized by the government, and theoretically either party can break the contract without being held accountable for morality and law. But the problem is that Beiyang does not want to break the treaty, and the Russians do not dare to break it. Not to mention that before all the funds are in place, the baby Rurik of the Russian Navy is equivalent to a hostage in the hands of Beiyang, even if Rurik returns to the Russian fleet, if the Russians dare to break the contract, it is a big deal that the Beiyang Naval Division will go to clean up the Russian fleet again, there is no place in the Far East where warships can be overhauled, and Vladivostok will not work. This means that the performance of the three warships that Russia participated in the war is at most half of the data on paper.

Before getting new reinforcements, the Russian fleet will definitely not dare to make any more moves with the Beiyang, and new reinforcements? Russia will not have it for a while, and the patrol formations that have been easily accumulated will make people fight, and there is no large military port in the Far East that can provide maintenance and protection for large warships, so it is not very useful to send a few warships, and the two sides will fight, and the battleships of the Beiyang will continue to come out after the overhaul, and your battleships will lie down directly after the fight, what a tragic thing!

After receiving assurances that Beiyang would not intervene in the Russian-Japanese dispute, the Russian steamrollers finally began to roar. According to common sense, there should be at least some disputes between the two countries before the film starts. Then a few more statements will be issued, and the diplomats of both sides will scold each other before declaring war. But the Russians are not so gentle. On July 2, 1895. The Russians finally launched an attack on Hokkaido and parts of eastern Honshu.

There were no signs, no diplomatic declarations. The Russian army of 20,000 troops, together with the Russian garrison in Hokkaido, and armed civilians launched an attack on the entire Hokkaido region and the Honshu island of Autumn and Miyako, and in the face of the Japanese local forces, which had no coastal defense and lacked vigilance, the Russian troops landed in Akita, Miyako, and Aomori in Mutsu Bay, Japan. And the troops in charge of attacking Hokkaido started directly from the ports of Hakodate and Muroran and advanced from the south to the north!

The Tuntian troops and the police in various places who were in charge of staying behind did not expect that the Russians, who were allies, would actually stab themselves in the back at this time. Although the Japanese top brass was somewhat aware of Russia's abnormal behavior, the Japanese really did not expect it. There are more people in this world who can fight stuffy sticks than them! (Actually, it's nothing.) Tsarist Russia took advantage of the fire to loot 1 million square kilometers of land from northeast China, and later carved up Poland with the Nazis, which has fully illustrated Russia's character. ）

In this way, when the Japanese army was at a loss in the face of the Russian landing force, the rain of bullets from various Russian field guns and machine guns had already hit the Japanese defense line. "This is nothing short of a massacre, and the Russian team, which has been planning for a long time, suddenly raised their swords against their allies. The Japanese never dreamed that Russia, which was helping itself to invade the Qing Dynasty not long ago, would suddenly attack itself. An Englishman in Japan wrote in his diary.

In just three days, the Japanese territory north of the Akita and Miyako lines was full of gunfire. In total, the Japanese regular forces in the area of engagement were less than 8,000 men. In the face of the attack of the Russian army and navy that had not yet declared war, no less than 30 percent of the troops had already booked a place at the Yasukuni Shrine before they could understand what was going on! And all the telegraph rooms and transportation hubs were the first to be grabbed by the Russians. Japan is mountainous and controls these lines of communication, even if Japan still has the strength to launch a counterattack, it will definitely not be able to break the Russian troops with superior equipment, you must know that all the elite and most of the heavy equipment of the Japanese army are almost in Korea and the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, now how do you let the Japanese counterattack? …,

And what about the Navy? In the Sea of Japan, where there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains, with the guarantee that the Beiyang Fleet will not participate in the war, the Russian fleet travels around unscrupulously. The fortifications attacking the Japanese ports paved the way for the landing force, while a fleet of two Azov-type cruisers covered the minelayers to the Korean Strait and the Tsushima Strait to deploy mines to prevent the Japanese Army from returning to help. "What a wonderful day without the Beiyang Fleet." The captain of the turquoise, who survived the disaster, muttered to himself.

The Russian army was followed by armed civilians armed with sharp knives and rifles, although these did not have military status, but the composition felt that most of them were Cossack descendants and Russian veterans from Central Asia, and compared to the Russian team, their equipment was inferior and their tactical level was average. But they are no less destructive than the army. Looting and killing became their favorite things to do. The army also needs to put the task first, but these people make massacres and looting their first priority! "The dead Japanese are the good Japanese, and we need the land, not the yellow-skinned monkeys!" Afterwards, a Russian who participated in the looting said proudly.

Over time, though. As the Japanese gradually reacted, the Russians became more and more difficult to act. First of all. The number of Russian troops is still on the small side, except for attacking some important Japanese strongholds, there are a large number of blank areas between the various units, and there are many important military materials such as ammunition depots in these areas. In addition, the Japanese army was mountainous, and in some areas, even the hastily established positions brought great trouble to the Russian attack, and the fighting qualities of the wounded Japanese soldiers who participated in the war far exceeded the Russian estimates. "Some of these wounded soldiers who have fought in the war have not yet recovered, and some have left disabilities, but all this does not mean that their combat effectiveness is low, and the soldiers who survived the steel-like defense of the Beiyang are no less than the Russian army in terms of will and tactical level." A Russian military officer wrote this in the war report.

What surprised the Russian army even more was that the resistance of Japanese civilians was quite tenacious. Many Japanese civilians also chose to fight against the Russian butcher's knives, they did not have the weapons at hand and did not know how to fight, but even a person with a family tradition of bushido would try to hide in a dark corner and wait for some lonely unlucky ghost to come to the door. What's more, they chose the drastic method of suicide attacks with home-made bombs in hand. As a result of this conflict, the Russians raised their butcher's knives more ferociously, and more of the Japanese were thrown into a hopeless battle to the death.

Subsequently, the Japanese government also carried out relatively efficient remedial actions. More and more soldiers in the township are being re-drafted. Arsenals were opened and weapons were issued to the police, civilians and even the underworld. Build forts and defenses along the way. And as far as possible, they sent the few remaining Japanese transport ships to Korea, and brought back some of the elite troops under the blockade of the Russian navy and mine arrays. And the few remaining Japanese fleets were forced to go into battle with wounds. Although the overall combat power of each ship is less than 4% of what it was in good condition. But under the threat of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, they must attack even if only the sampan remains! At this moment, Japan, which had exhausted almost all its vitality in the First Sino-Japanese War, was fighting with the last trace of strength to fight against Russia, which suddenly rebelled.

At the same time, when the news of the Russians' attack on Japan reached the front line of the Japanese army, Yamaguchi Aritomo, Katsura Taro and others finally understood after a short shock why the Russians suddenly cut off Japanese aid, and the Japanese army, which had been cut off from supplies for nearly a month, was undoubtedly worse after receiving this news. Although the Japanese top brass tried to block the news as much as possible, the delay in supplies was explained by poor roads and harassment by rangers along the way, and more and more rumors began to spread among the army. And when the Beiyang Army set up a loudspeaker to announce to the Japanese army the news of the Russians' sneak attack on the Japanese mainland, the Japanese Army's will was finally crushed by this last straw. …,

"Not a single shot was fired from the Japanese side that night, only hysterical shouts and cries could be heard, as well as the shouting and cursing of Japanese officers. They are already desperate, they don't know where their future is, the front is the Beiyang Army, and the logistics behind it have been cut off. Even their homes were destroyed by the Russian army, especially those whose homes were in the Russian-occupied territories, and they could imagine what would happen to their homes and families at the hands of the brutal Russians. And at this moment, the full-scale counteroffensive of the North Ocean began! This is how a British journalist described the Golden State battlefield after the Hokkaido incident.

The Beiyang Army, which had been holding its ground for almost a month, finally broke out of the fortifications. They launched an attack on the already crumbling Japanese army, which had become a flock of lambs to the slaughter. In the face of the incoming artillery shells and the flood of Beiyang Army, they scrambled to flee to the rear, or directly chose to surrender. In order to prevent the Beiyang attack, the defense line of Yama Prefecture Youpeng collapsed in an instant, and the Japanese army, which had maintained its prestige a few days ago, could only think of fleeing where they thought it was safe, and of course, most of them were still captured or killed. And individual small-scale rebellions were wiped out in an instant like moths throwing themselves into flames. "The Japanese First Army is finished." Youpeng of Shan County, who was lucky enough to escape, looked at the remnants of his defeated soldiers and sighed.

The situation changed almost instantaneously in a matter of days, and all this shocked other forces except Beiyang and Russia! The pattern of the entire world has been greatly affected, Japan is finished, it is completely finished, Russia has obtained ice-free ports, and the Qing State has won the war!
