On the high seas of the Far East, on the warships of the Russian Navy.

After the more than ten player leaders in the Russian Far East received the latest military news from the Yan Kingdom of China, they all changed color in shock. The Yan Kingdom has begun a large-scale reorganization of the player's infantry army, and this news will most likely be a precursor to a major national war, and it is very likely that it will come towards the Russian Far East.

But they quickly calmed down, knowing full well that they must not let the Japanese negotiators know about it now. Otherwise, it will be used by Japanese players, which will be very unfavorable to the negotiations on the Russian side.

However, this news may not be hidden for long, and Japanese players will definitely receive this news as well. This news is far more threatening to Russia than to Japan.

Negotiations with the Japanese players must be resumed as soon as possible, and the Russian-Japanese players will agree on the strategic situation and form an alliance in the economic and military spheres.

And in order to do this, it is not necessary to stick to the original position, and the Russian side must make some concessions so that the Japanese players can get some substantial benefits.

The Russian player leaders glanced at each other and nodded with a tacit understanding.

After the intermission, they walked to the negotiating table.

Vladimir, the leader of Vladivostok, came forward and directly finalized the alliance agreement.

The Japanese players have also received some updates, but the information they have received is somewhat different from that obtained by the Russians. The Russian side received information that the 6th Army of the Yan Kingdom had reorganized its troops by one million troops, while the Japanese side obtained the information that the Bohai Fleet of the Yan Kingdom, the Qingdao Fleet of the Qi Kingdom, the Zhoushan Fleet of the Wu Kingdom, and the Zhou Fleet of the Chu Kingdom had almost doubled their fleet at the same time.

Originally, the strength of China's fleet was far greater than that of Japan, but now it will be doubled. It's just a reckless military force that doesn't give players from other countries a way to live.

This information shocked the players in Japan and almost screamed on the spot, and their faces were pale, and some of them couldn't even hide the trembling of their hands. If the players in the Russian Far East are only facing the Yan kingdom in the six places, then they are facing the five vassal states of Yan, Qi, Wu, Chu, and Lu in almost the entire coastal area of China. This enormous pressure is far beyond the reach of Russian players.

Even if the players in the Russian Far East are completely defeated and lose all their territory in the Far East, they will still have a vast area of Russia and Europe to hold. Russia has lost 88% of its population in Europe, and has not suffered much, losing less than 12% of its population in the Far East.

But Japan is different. Japan is completely exposed to China's side, there is no strategic depth to speak of, and there is nowhere to escape if it wants to. In the event of a rout of the Russian Far East players and an escape back to Europe, Japan will be left alone to face China in East Asia. This is the last thing Japanese players want to see.

But the Russian players are as tough as a stone and refuse to make any concessions.

The Japanese player leaders suppressed the uneasiness and anger in their hearts, and discussed in a low voice with a blue face, and finally decided that they should reach a cooperation agreement with the Russian Far East Players Organization as soon as possible to obtain Russian resources. Otherwise, I am afraid that Japan will suffer a big loss in the end.

Of course, in order to reach an alliance agreement as soon as possible. A small concession is a must.

The current time is very unfavorable for Japan, and only by forming an alliance as soon as possible and obtaining Russian land resources can Japan have the strength to protect itself. Otherwise, if there is a delay, who knows when the Chinese players will suddenly start a war against the Japanese players.

After sorting out their emotions, they returned to the negotiating table with a blank face, as if nothing had happened, and continued to negotiate with the Russian side.

In the second round of negotiations between the Russian and Japanese players, both sides may have softened their positions due to some concerns. This made both parties delighted, and there were some doubts in their hearts. In any case, however, the negotiations are progressing much faster than in the previous round.

In terms of Russian-Japanese trade, the parties decided that raw materials and manufactured goods would each have a half-share.

Of course. This trade is completely unilateral sales of things from Russia to Japan. And Japan pays real coins. Because now the Japanese side simply does not have anything of value to sell to Russia, except for real coins.

On the East Asian strategy, the two sides still have not fully agreed.

The Japanese side has always adhered to the strategic bottom line of attacking South Korea with all its might, and refused to directly confront Chinese players in military affairs before taking South Korea.

Russia, on the other hand, insisted that Japan must take North Korea together in a short period of time, ensuring that Japan and the Russian Far East border China at the same time, so as to disperse the military deployment of Chinese players. In this way, the Russian side does not have to bear the pressure of the 6 Army from China alone.

After some difficult negotiations. Once again, the two sides made concessions.

Final decision. The Russian Far East fully supported Japan to take South Korea, and then Russia and Japan sent troops to Korea at the same time. Jointly take the Korean Peninsula. Japan and Russia jointly bear the military pressure from the Chinese Yan Kingdom, 6 and the sea.

As for which one the Chinese side will ultimately choose to choose, Russia or Japan, it is only left to fate. Whoever is unlucky, who resists is at the forefront. Luckily, one of them hid behind and provided support.

All the players who participated in the negotiations between the Russian Far East and the four countries of Japan, Honshu, and Hokkaido signed a secret agreement on the "Russo-Japanese Alliance". The two countries' local player organizations have formalized the first agreement involving "trade alliances and military alliances".

There are only two main points in the agreement:

1. Trade. The Russian Far East immediately exported large quantities of raw materials and manufactured goods to Japan, and the amount was determined by both Russian and Japanese players.

2. Military. The Russian Far East and Japanese players formed a paramilitary alliance to coordinate militarily in East Asia. The imaginary enemies of the first phase are South Korea and North Korea on the Korean Peninsula. The next phase is to be determined.

The alliance was created entirely in response to strong Chinese players. If it were not for this reason, I am afraid that the two sides would not have been able to sign this "mutually beneficial" agreement at all. After all, it is always better to enjoy the benefits unilaterally than to enjoy the benefits together. But now, they must "enjoy" the benefits together, so as not to be broken by each other.

As for South Korean and North Korean players, the Russian side has also thought of co-opting them into the Russian-Japanese alliance and starting a war with Chinese players.

But the current situation is simply impossible, because North Korean players do not cooperate with Japanese players in any way at all, while South Korean players have already gone to Kyushu, Japan, and there are Chinese players in the background, and it is impossible to join forces with Japan.

Japanese players are also not going to join forces with players from North and South Korea. The Japanese player's greatest wish is to occupy the Korean Peninsula and thus have a chance to enter the East Asia Big 6, and an alliance with the Korean Peninsula will only prevent them from achieving this goal. Therefore, Russian and Japanese players can only take the Korean Peninsula together, and not cooperate with the Korean Peninsula.

After signing an alliance agreement, the Russian and Japanese players left on their respective warships and returned to their lair.

The Japanese side was very anxious, and tens of thousands or even 100,000 Japanese-style sailing ships on the four major islands of Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu, and Hokkaido left the ports of various parts of Japan, spanning a vast area of seven or eight hundred kilometers, and excitedly sailed towards the port of Vladivostok in the Russian Far East to begin Russian-Japanese trade. As soon as he opened his mouth, he demanded that the warehouse be full, until all the sailboats were filled with cargo. The volume of trade in one day almost emptied the entire warehouse of Vladivostok.

The Russian Players were apparently taken aback by the sight of so many Japanese sailing ships. They apparently underestimated the demand for Japanese players, who were desperately in demand more than ten times more than they expected. The Russian players were even a little worried about whether they had made a mistake and agreed to trade with Japan too easily.

However, this anxiety did not last, and the huge amount of real money was deposited, so that the Russian players immediately abandoned the idea of stopping trade. The money spent in vain made them temporarily stop all superfluous thoughts.

At the same time, the port, which was originally a little deserted, suddenly became extremely popular, and cross-sea trade was endless. The many treaty ports along the coast around Vladivostok, which were originally only open to Russian ships, are now all open to Japanese ships to receive Japanese cargo sailboats. Cargo from all over the Russian Far East has also begun to be transported to the ports in large quantities.

Russian players have long been accustomed to having enough supplies, and they simply do not understand the eagerness of Japanese players. The entire island of Japan is staggeringly barren enough to make Japanese gamers thirsty for anything outside. The sudden opening of the Russian-Japanese trade route naturally greatly stimulated Japanese players. In addition, there is a concern that the Russian-Japanese business corridor may be closed at any time in the future, so it is as much as you can buy now.

From time to time, large storms blow over Japanese sailing ships that travel to and from the sea. But this did not diminish the madness of the Japanese merchant players, and more Japanese sailing ships 6 continued to arrive at the ports of the Russian Far East, buying raw materials and finished goods in large quantities.
