I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 431 Pay back the money
The Coconut City Shipyard is now ready to build light cruisers.

With the capabilities of the Vladivostok Shipyard and Coconut City Shipyard, once the construction of cruisers begins, it will be a matter of taking whatever you want.

After the "Yuryev" was put into service, the minds of all the captains began to heat up.

"Yuryev" is followed by "Romanov".

There will definitely be an upgraded model next.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

A captain who doesn't want to be a battleship captain is not a good captain.

Even if the number of battleships is limited.

But there are still armored cruisers to be put into service. In the latest plan, the Siberian Fleet must have at least 16 armored cruisers in the future to fully safeguard the interests of Amur and East India.

Therefore, it is not important whether the "Kasagi" was sunk or the "Falcon" was damaged. What is important is the medal.

But Japan cannot afford a resumption of war.

As a member of the "Six-Sixth Fleet", the armament system of "Azuma" is also four 4 main guns and 203 single-barreled 12mm rapid-fire guns.

Li Bu tried his best, but the gangway didn't move at all.

Although the "Kasagi" ran away like crazy, its fastest speed was far inferior to that of the "Falcon", and it was soon overtaken by the "Falcon".

But if the balance of a warship traveling at high speed is affected, it will be a disaster.

When a normal warship enters the berth, the staff will take the initiative to push the gangway over.

When the "Falcon" entered Jeju Port.

Li Bu did not surrender, but was seriously injured and fell into coma, and was captured by the Japanese army.

The gangway was so heavy that Li Bu couldn't push it alone.

Li Bu wiped away his tears and came to the gangway closest to the "Falcon", trying to push the gangway over.

Li Bu, who was cleaning on the dock, looked at the Russian Imperial Navy flag flying high on the mast of the "Falcon", fell to his knees and cried loudly.

The more than 10,000 acres of oranges on Jeju Island are also rare wealth for Japan.

The "Falcon" threw down the rope ladder, and a dozen sailors followed the rope ladder to the dock.

The "Falcon" forced the "Kasaji" back, and did not settle the matter. Instead, it swaggered into Jeju Port with the attitude of a victorious general.

The difference between 4900 tons and 5700 tons is actually not that big.

"Get away! Damn macaque, get out of here!"

Surrounding Li Bu were bewildered Japanese soldiers, port workers, and Japanese immigrants.

Before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, the residents of Jeju were evacuated, leaving only 12 Korean soldiers on the island to look after their homes.

Ozdoev was really reckless. He commanded the "Falcon" to sail into Jeju Port in a swagger, and then entered the berth as unscrupulously as if he were in his own living room.

The Treaty of Portsmouth has just been signed.

The corporal raised his foot to kick him, but was stopped by a sergeant.

The Japanese army invaded Jeju, and 12 soldiers rose up to resist. 11 of them died in the battle, and only 17-year-old Li Bu survived.

The "Falcon" came uninvited, and there must be no staff pushing the gangway.

It is actually possible to land without a gangway.

"Azuma" is a cruiser ordered by Japan from France, with a displacement of 9456 tons, 17000 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 20.5 knots.

The combined fleet's financial resources are far less powerful than those of the Siberian fleet. Every battleship is a valuable asset of the combined fleet.

In order to get more information about Jeju, the Japanese army did not kill Li Bu, so Li Bu survived until now.

The Siberian Fleet still lacks a cruiser squadron commander who is good at fighting.

If artillery is fired, the Treaty of Portsmouth will be directly torn up and the war will continue.

The sailor's attitude was arrogant and he yelled and cursed wildly.

The Japanese around him did not help, and they were not in the mood to laugh at Li Bu. They had no idea what to do.

Therefore, after occupying Jeju, Japan immigrated to Jeju and had no intention of returning Jeju to George.

Koyama Yuro does not want the "Falcon" to enter Jeju Port.

There are forts outside Jeju Port.

More than a dozen sailors worked together and finally pushed the gangway next to the Falcon.

Coastal defense commander Koyama Yuro watched the "Falcon" enter Jeju Port, but did not dare to fire on the "Falcon".

Dongxiang's eyes were about to burst, so he sent out the armored cruiser "Azuma" to force the "Falcon" back.

Japanese soldiers came forward and tried to stop the sailors from moving, but they were pushed away by the sailors.

Let’s not talk about battleships and armored cruisers.

After sinking the "Mikasa", Captain Daniel of No. 104 has now been promoted to the commander of the Siberian Fleet submarine detachment.

Li Bu hugged the thigh of a corporal and cried loudly.

Although the clothes on Li Bu were in tatters, they were clearly the sea soul shirt issued by the Siberian Fleet.

This jacket was widely used by the Amur Military District, and was also distributed in large quantities by the coastal defense forces and port troops.

Ozdoyev walked down the gangway and came to Li Bu.

Li Bu stood at attention, saluted, and roared wildly.

"Sergeant Li Bu of the Jeju Port Coast Guard Force, reporting to you!"

Ozdoyev looked at Li Bu's scarred face with a satisfied smile on his face. Regardless of the dirt on Li Bu's body, he gave Li Bu a big hug. "Well done!"

Now that Ozdoyev has entered Jeju Port, he is in no hurry to leave.

Dongxiang sent the news back to Japan, and Katsura Taro searched through the Treaty of Portsmouth but could not find any clauses about Jeju.

This cannot be blamed on Werther and Komura.

When Witte and Komura were negotiating, the focus was mainly on Kanto, and no one thought of Jeju.

Peter spent a day calculating George's losses in Jeju, totaling 7500 million rubles.

This is just Jeju.

George owns properties throughout Goryeo and Guandong. The losses in various places are currently being calculated. It is roughly estimated that George's losses exceed 10 billion rubles.

After Guitaro knew this number, he couldn't help but cursed.

But after scolding, you still have to face reality.

With Guandong and Goryeo, the number of troops that George can use is almost 40.

If you add Aceh and East India, the number will definitely exceed 50.

When Kuropatkin was in Kanto, his maximum number of troops did not exceed 40.

The Japanese army was mobilized many times during the Russo-Japanese War, with 118.5 million actually mobilized. When the Treaty of Portsmouth was signed, the total number of Japanese troops in Kantung and Korea was 35.

After the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth, Japan has stopped mobilization and formulated a disarmament plan. A large number of soldiers mobilized during the war will be demobilized.

Now George is showing his unwillingness to give up. Should he be cut or not?

After the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth, the Russian Empire also began to disarm.

Not only has there been no disarmament in the Amur Military District, but mobilization continues.

Katsura thought about it and was unsure of George's attitude, so he once again asked the British and American governments to urge the Russian Empire to withdraw its troops.

To show his sincerity, Katsura Taro ordered Oyamayan to begin withdrawing troops from Fengtian.

Daesanyan had not yet withdrawn, but news came from Goryeo that Ryugyong was attacked by the Goryeo army.

Goryeo——

Only then did Katsura remember that Goryeo was also one of the victims of the Russo-Japanese War.

During the Russo-Japanese War, all of Goryeo fell and became the biggest victim of the Russo-Japanese War.

Goryeo's national power was weak, and even the Americans did not think of Goryeo, so Goryeo was excluded from the negotiations, and no one cared about Goryeo's opinion.

This is also normal.

The main battlefield of the Russo-Japanese War was still in the Qing Empire.

Even the Qing Empire did not receive an invitation to negotiate from Washington, and Goryeo was even smaller and could not be seen at all.

Emperor Gaozong didn't think so.

No matter how small Goryeo is, it is still an upright and independent country. How can it be bullied by others?
Although Emperor Gaozong was not confident enough to call this "independent country", it is an indisputable fact that Goryeo is an independent country recognized by all countries.

Therefore, although Japan and the Russian Empire have concluded their negotiations, there are still unsettled accounts between Korea and Japan.

Only then did Katsura realize someone's insidiousness.

The Amur Military District had trained a force composed mainly of Koreans before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War.

This force is nominally a Koryo force, but is actually commanded by the Amur Military Region. It is completely a servant army of the Amur Military Region. Since the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, it has followed the Koryo Russian army in combat.

Although peace has been achieved between Japan and the Russian Empire, Japan still occupies the capital of Koryo. No one can tell whether the Koryo people want to regain their capital.

If only the Goryeo troops attacked and the Russian army did not participate in the battle, Katsura Taro would not care.

However, the Korean attack firepower was extremely fierce, and they broke through Ryugyong's Japanese defense line as soon as the battle began, shocking the whole world.

this--

This is especially not a Korean.

Cossacks are not so fierce!

Facing the swarming military observers and reporters from various countries, Milyutin smiled.

"The empire has ceased war with Japan, and Grand Duke Yuriev will definitely follow St. Petersburg's orders—"

Miliugin was impeccable and talked eloquently in front of reporters.

"The troops of the Amur Military District definitely did not participate in the attack on Ryukyong. As far as I know, the main force of the troops attacking Ryukyong is composed of Japanese. They are all volunteers and have nothing to do with the Amur Military District -"

Japanese fight Japanese?
This is too outrageous!
But looking at Mi Liujing's serious look, it seems like it's not nonsense.

"You always say that the Russian Empire is a victim of the East Asian peace, but Japan has never been absent from the East Asian wars since 1894. The Sino-Japanese War in 1894 and the Russo-Japanese War were all initiated by Japan, and both It was a shameless sneak attack with an undeclared war, so Japan is the destroyer of peace in East Asia - and those countries that provide funds to Japan are Japan's accomplices -"

Milyukyin's verbal and written criticism wanted to completely nail Japan to the pillar of shame.

"Speaking of funds, I think many people should be very worried now about whether their investment can be recovered on time-"

Milyutin smiled happily.

After the annihilation of the Second Fleet, all countries agreed that the Russian Empire would lose the war.

During that time, Japan's government bonds were in short supply, and the number of applications for subscriptions was often dozens of times the number issued.

After the terms of the Treaty of Portsmouth were announced, investors from various countries were completely dumbfounded.

Not a billion, not a hundred million, not even a damn kopeck.

Japan's annual income is 4000 million yen. During the war, Japan issued 19 billion yen of foreign debt in Britain alone. How can it repay so much money?
