On September 5, 1905, after 55 days of negotiations in Brisbane, the ocean empire, Japan and Russia signed the Treaty of Brisbane, officially ending the Russo-Japanese War in the Far East.

This war in the Far East was large-scale, suffered heavy losses, and was extremely bloody and tragic, and had a far-reaching impact on the development of modern military in the 20 th century.

All 13 divisions of the Japanese Army were engaged in the war, and during the war, Fuso revised the conscription order, and the service age was extended from 32 to 37 years old, and the mobilization capacity was close to the limit.

When General Nogi Noshinori's Third Army returned to China victoriously, General Nogi Noshinori shed tears in the wind in the boat, and wrote a poem: "The emperor's millions of soldiers are captured by force, and the corpses of the field siege are made into mountains." I'm ashamed of how I can see my father, and a few people are still alive today. ”

After returning home

The emperor organized a triumphal ceremony for the army, and at the meeting to welcome the emperor, Nogi Noshinori's first words were: "I am killing my brother and my father, and Nogi Noshinori is also." ”

As soon as these words came out, the welcoming crowd burst into tears, and their sad emotions permeated the Zhujie meeting, thinking of their relatives who died in battle in the distance.

September 17th

The Ocean Empire received a large order from the Tsarist Russian Empire, including a 20,000-ton dock, all the machinery and equipment and infrastructure of a large shipyard, 120,000 tons of cement, 16,000 tons of steel bars and other various logistical materials, including 100,000 wool blankets, wool coats, 20,000 tons of flour, 1,500 tons of canned food, 5,000 tents, all kinds of quilts, soldiers' belts and leather water bottles, leather boots, etc., with a total contract of 1.35 billion francs, about 67 million pounds, and 135 million gold oceans.

The mega-contract included the refurbishment of 4 battleships, 11 cruisers and more destroyers, and was a complete rearmament, covering both the army and the navy.

As for why this mega contract was priced in francs, the reason is simple: Tsar Nicholas II was extremely angry at his allies, the French, watching from afar in this war, which seriously threatened the existence of the Franco-Russian alliance.

The Franco-Russian alliance was the cornerstone of France's confrontation with the German, Italian and Austrian alliance in Europe, and there was no room for any slip-up, so the French pinched their noses and paid the bill for Tsarist Russia in order to obtain the understanding of Tsar Nicholas II.

This is not a matter of the Ocean Empire, and immediately in order to fulfill this large order, it began to organize a large-scale cargo fleet to go north, and the large freighter fleet composed of several 10,000-ton giant ships went north one after another, bringing a large amount of materials.

This incident greatly alarmed the Fuso State, which lodged a serious protest not only with Russia and France, but also with the Ocean Empire, and united with Britain and the United States to exert pressure in an attempt to disrupt this big deal.

As a result, the Ocean Empire did not have any birds at all, Britain and the United States.

As for the Fuso country, which jumped up and down, the Pacific Fleet gathered all the elite main warships and formed two powerful fleets with four battleships and 10 cruisers, one along the South China Sea to the Yellow Sea, and went north through the Tsushima Strait.

One group traveled north along the Pacific Ocean east of Taiwan, the Ryukyus, and the Fuso Islands, passing through the Soya Strait, and finally two powerful fleets gathered in the waters north of the four northern islands and held a large-scale live-fire exercise to deter the somewhat arrogant Fuso country.

After this incident, the country of Fuso was silent, and Britain and the United States were beaten in the face, and they could not do anything other than complain in the media of public opinion.

Relying on its strong strength as a foundation, the Ocean Empire did a prosperous business between Japan and Russia.

For Tsarist Russia, the Ocean Empire was its only large supplier of supplies in the Far East, Britain and Japan were enemies, Citigroup was a potential enemy who fully supported the enemy, and its ally, France, had no industrial base in the French Indochina Peninsula and could not provide the supplies it needed.

In order to recover quickly, the Far Eastern Frontier would be cheaper and more affordable, with guaranteed supplies of high quality and low price, than the transportation of materials from the European part of Tsarist Russia.

The port of Vladivostok needed to build a strong fortress fortress complex, to create an impregnable turtle shell, and to build a 20,000-ton dock to repair the warships of the Pacific Fleet trapped in the port and restore combat effectiveness, all of which were urgent priorities.

The defeat in the Russo-Japanese War made Tsar Nicholas II extremely unwilling.

The gains and losses of Port Arthur all year round are even more painful for the Tsarist Empire, which means that Tsar Nicholas II's ambitious "Yellow Russia Plan" to the south is completely bankrupt, which is even more sad than killing the aggressive Tsarist Lao Maozi.

Therefore, before the ink of the Brisbane Treaty was dry, Tsarist Russia set off a new round of rearmament.

This is an event that has never appeared in the original history, just like a big knife hanging from the head, far from the time when Ma Fang Nanshan, which greatly aggravated the financial burden of Fusang, and had to continue to maintain the armament of thirteen army divisions, and did not dare to relax at all.

In the original history

After the Russo-Japanese War, the army and navy of Fuso carried out major downsizing, and took advantage of the high morale of the victorious countries to turn their energies into the process of developing industrialization, realizing the rapid economic development of Fuso, rapidly shortening the distance between Fuso and the advanced countries in Europe and the United States, and laying a solid foundation for the next round of reckless expansion.

Although military spending has been reduced from 55 percent to 32 percent of total fiscal expenditures, it still accounts for one-third of the total, so as to maintain the relatively high number and combat effectiveness of the army and navy, which can avoid affecting economic development.

Reflected in the economic field, it is to borrow large loans to maintain the heat of economic development, and inevitably lose part of its rights and interests.

From the Ocean Empire alone, it borrowed a huge loan of up to 270 million gold oceans, and the annual interest paid exceeded 10 million gold oceans.

With the financial support, a large number of commodities of the Ocean Empire poured into the market of Fusang, which further suppressed the industrial development of Fusang, and at the same time strongly boosted the overall economy of the Oceanic Empire, reflecting the great power of financial strategy.

In the context of the strong side, there is never fairness.

The huge loan provided by the Ocean Empire can only be used to import the goods of the Ocean Empire, and it is really blind to want to use this money to import Citigroup goods.

The Fuso people were not stupid, and used the loans of the Ocean Empire to build four 30,000-ton docks in Tokyo Bay, Kure Port, Maizuru and Nagasaki Port, and introduced related shipyard equipment to develop their own shipbuilding industry.

In this area, the Ocean Empire was simply unable to limit the development of the shipbuilding industry of the Fuso Kingdom.

If you don't want to give, Britain, the United States, France, and Italy are all willing to give, not only to the equipment to the technology but also to the talent, how can you limit it?

In the original plane

Before the Russo-Japanese War, Fuso only had the ability to build destroyers of less than 1,000 tons, but after 10 years of rapid development, by the time of World War I, it already had the world's top shipbuilding industry and was able to design and build world-class battleships on its own.

At the beginning of the rise of a country, all kinds of talents erupted, and the smart Fusang people were not inferior to the Chinese.

In terms of urban management, cars driving on the right, traffic police, municipal management, accountability system, clean government system, etc., Fusang Guo can be said to be the best student, and even the city slogans are all over the streets and alleys, all of which are learned in the original way.

Even if the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom are all bundled together, they do not have the completeness of Fuso's national studies, and they can learn thoroughly and comprehensively.

So, Fuso is the best student.
