The tense relations between Japan and Russia began to ease. Tsar Nicholas made his second speech, saying that he loved peace and did not want the war in the Far East to continue. The Emperor of Japan quickly responded, saying that war would only bring disaster and that continued war between Japan and Russia would
will cause greater harm.
Both Japan and Russia have the intention to negotiate peace, but the two sides will not be able to reach a negotiation agreement for a while. After all, there are great conflicts of interest. The Russian Pacific Fleet was almost completely wiped out, and it also lost hundreds of thousands of land troops in the Far East and invested a lot of troops.
Money, of course, was unwilling to give up the occupied northern part of Korea, so it secretly proposed to Japan that the areas currently occupied by both sides should be used as the dividing line.
The Japanese launched the war to compete for the interests of Northeast China. The five-year war brought down the domestic economy. Not only did they fail to gain benefits in the Northeast, they even lost half of the Korean Peninsula under their complete control. If they agree with the Russians, the Japanese
Not only will it be impossible to gain access to the Northeast again, but the Korean Peninsula will also be unable to be defended.
The interests of the two countries were too different, but both countries were preparing to send delegations to negotiate peace. Chen Hao's attempt to continue the war between the two countries was in vain. After Chen Hao, who was stationed in Incheon, received the news, he decided to go to the Russian camp in Seoul to meet with Kuropatkin and ask for
The Russians immediately annihilated the Japanese Seventh Army stationed in Seoul.
Chen Hao was very afraid of the Japanese. Even if Japan and Russia negotiated a peace, he still hoped that Japan would suffer more heavy losses. After finding Kuropatkin, he went straight to the point: "Your Excellency Kuropatkin, your army has completed its attack on Japan."
The Seventh Army is outflanking, so why hasn’t it launched a general attack yet?”
Kuropatkin said regretfully: "Commander Chen, His Majesty the Tsar of our country has sent people to negotiate with the Japanese. The Japanese asked our country to temporarily cease the war. Our Majesty agreed to the Japanese request."
It is really a pity for Kuropatkin that he performed extremely poorly when fighting in the Northeast and lost battles again and again. After entering North Korea, he failed to gain the upper hand with his superior strength and did not command even a classic battle.
.This time he finally seized the opportunity to surround a Japanese army, and with the cooperation of Cam Ranh Bay, completely cut off Japan's retreat. However, the Tsar ordered him not to fight at this time.
As the saying goes, one handsome man covers all the ugly, if he can wipe out a Japanese army, Kuropatkin will become a hero. After the tsar ordered to postpone the attack, Kuropatkin was unwilling but had no choice but to take the time to meet with Chen Hao.
Let's see if there will be a turnaround.
Chen Hao was silent for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I am very disappointed with your country. Negotiating peace with Japan now cannot guarantee your country's interests. The Japanese are very cunning. They attacked Lushun first before declaring war on your country at the beginning of the war. Now they
The peace proposal may have been made to save the encircled Seventh Army."
"So the Japanese peace talks may be fake. They delayed it for a while. Once my Cam Ranh Bay fleet leaves, they will rely on their naval superiority to start a war again. I have a certain understanding of the Japanese nation. This is a nation that bullies the weak and fears the strong. If your country
If you can promote peace through fighting and annihilate the Japanese Seventh Army first, you will have an advantage at the negotiation table."
Kuropatkin couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He believed that the idea of promoting peace would impress the Tsar, which would at least save some face for the Tsar. The Russian commander quickly thought of what to do, and he smiled and said: "Commander Chen,
I will send a message to His Majesty the Tsar to make suggestions. But I need your cooperation."
Chen Hao nodded simply and said: "No problem! I will send a message to the tsar of your country and tell him that if your army does not take action, I will announce the end of the cooperative relationship with your country and lead the fleet back to Cam Ranh Bay."
If Chen Hao leads the Cam Ranh Bay fleet to leave and no longer cooperates with the Russians, Japan will never negotiate again. Without the Cam Ranh Bay fleet to block it, the Japanese navy will have a great advantage over Russia, and the army will also have the upper hand with supplies. Then
At that time, the Japanese could completely drive the Russians out of the Korean Peninsula and even take over the Russian interests in Northeast China.
After receiving the telegrams from Kuropatkin and Chen Hao, the Tsar considered the possible consequences of the fleet leaving Cam Ranh Bay and agreed to Kuropatkin's attack request. At the same time, the Tsar ordered the people responsible for the negotiations to be tougher.
It would be best to temporarily suspend negotiations with the Japanese and wait until the Battle of Seoul is over.
The five armies of the Russian Far East Army moved towards Seoul at the same time. The Third Army in the north concentrated more than 200 artillery pieces and launched a fierce attack on Seoul. The retreat of the Japanese Seventh Army had been completely cut off. Under the command of Nogi Nogi, the Seventh Army relied on the city wall.
After the decisive battle at sea, the Japanese Army and the Russian Army also began to fight. This was destined to be another lose-lose battle.
The Battle of Seoul lasted for ten days. The Japanese Seventh Army was completely wiped out. Army commander Nogi Nogi committed suicide by caesarean section. The powerful combat power of the Japanese army left Kuropatkin with lingering fear. In order to annihilate the Seventh Army, the Russian side also paid a heavy price. The main attack
The casualties of the Third Army were over 40%.
Chen Hao said that the Japanese bully the weak and fear the strong. It is not nonsense. After Tsarist Russia annihilated the Japanese Seventh Army, the attitude of the Japanese negotiating delegation softened. After twenty days of negotiations, Japan and Russia finally reached an agreement. Japan recognized Russia's interests in Northeast China.
He was also willing to cooperate with the Russians in Northern Korea, but the Russians were not allowed to interfere with Japan's commercial dealings in Northeast China.
The agreement seemed like the Japanese suffered a big loss and recognized some of Russia's interests in Northern Korea, but in fact it was the Russians who should be worried. Although Japan failed to replace Russia's interests in the Northeast, Japan has extended its tentacles into the Northeast.
There is a chance that once Russia goes to war in Europe, the Japanese will fight Russia again in the Northeast.
Japan's domestic elites judged that a war might break out in Europe in the next few years, so they reached such an agreement. In the game, history showed inertia. According to the original history, Japan and Russia signed the second "Japan-Russia Agreement" in 1910, and jointly invaded Northeast China.
Interests. Chen Hao worked hard and calculated for a long time, changing the history of the Russo-Japanese War, but in the end the two sides reached an agreement to jointly plunder the Northeast.
The Russo-Japanese War has officially ended. Chen Hao's long-term planning has not been in vain. The five-year war has greatly weakened the comprehensive national strength of Japan and Russia. Militarily, the Russian Pacific Fleet was finished, and the Japanese Navy was almost destroyed in the first naval battle. After replenishing advanced warships, it again
The losses were heavy. Nowadays, the Japanese navy is not as strong as Cam Ranh Bay. It is impossible to bully China with its navy.
The biggest problem between the two countries is the economy. The five-year war has made the two countries' economies worse. Russia's domestic revolution continues. If it were not for the large amount of wealth injected by players, Japan's economy would have collapsed long ago. Without five or six years, Japan and Russia would not be able to recover.
Yuanqi, China's Revolution of 1911 will break out in another year, and a relatively relaxed development environment will be obtained at that time. (To be continued...)
