I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 446 Adding fuel to the fire
When Vasily was about to blow up the Busan branch, the Busan branch finally raised the white flag.

Umezu Yoshijiro held Nogi's command sword in both hands and walked out of the main building of the Busan branch.

Just now, Nogi committed seppuku in the basement of the Busan branch.

Seppuku and bowing are both traditional skills of the Japanese. When Japanese people make mistakes, they usually bow. If bowing is not enough to express apology, they kneel down.

If kneeling is not enough, then the only option is to commit seppuku.

Nomu caused heavy casualties to the defenders of Arthur Fortress during the offensive and defensive battle of Arthur Fortress. The Russians would not let Nomu go.

If it falls into the hands of the Russians, Nogi will die of humiliation.

So suicide is the only option.

Vasily was very angry. The easy-to-get credit was just gone, not to mention that it also made Nogi loyal.

I can only say that the Japanese are so disgusting, and they will disgust the Russians before they die.

Yangkov was cunning and cunning, so he asked Min Yongyi to deal with it.

See clearly, it is dealing with it, not surrendering.

Min Yongyi's hatred of the Japanese is stronger than that of the Russians, and they are irreconcilable.

Goryeo has always been a doormat. Whether it was the Sino-Japanese War or the Russo-Japanese War, Goryeo was the first to be beaten and could not escape every time.

Ryugyong Massacre, Japan killed 10 people in Korea.

During the Battle of Busan, Goryeo's largest port was reduced to rubble.

The Russians want to dominate East Asia.

Japan needs to expand its living space.

Who did Goryeo offend?
So after the old devil was desperate, he still wanted to commit suicide to make people sick and dream!
Umezu Yoshijiro never expected that Yangkov would actually let a Korean surrender.

The Japanese really have no confidence in front of the Russians.

But for Min Yongyi, Umezu Yoshijiro was too confident.

So when Min Yongyi came to Umezu Yoshijiro, the humble and sad expression on Umezu Yoshijiro's face quietly changed to one of rebelliousness.

Without the help of the Russians, you are not even dogs!
Fortunately, these words were not spoken, otherwise Min Yongyi would have a hundred words waiting for him.

Without the help of the British, you would be nothing like dogs!

It is true that before the Sino-Japanese War, Goryeo was a vassal state of the Qing Empire.

"Xiba!"

Min Yongyi started scolding him as soon as he came up.

"idiot!"

Umezu Yoshijiro was furious.

Umezu Yoshijiro surrendered to the Russian army, who are you, Nishihachi!
Min Yongyi was even more angry. He had surrendered and was still so arrogant. Xiao Baga really deserved to die!
Since you have been scolded, you must fight back.

Min Yongyi's counterattack was something that even Yankov and Vasily didn't expect.

After being scolded, Min Yongyi turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran.

"Fake surrender! The Japanese are faking surrender!"

"asshole!"

Umezu Meijiro was so angry that he took out Nogi's command sword and wanted to chase Min Yongyi.

The knife was halfway drawn, and Umezu Meijiro was shot to death randomly.

Since it is a false surrender, there is nothing to say.

On January 1, the Russian-Gaoliang coalition occupied Busan and recovered all of Goryeo.

In the Battle of Busan, the Russian-German coalition forces wiped out nearly 8 Japanese troops without taking any prisoners.

The Russian-Gao coalition suffered 6.5 casualties. Before the Busan War, there were nearly 20 casualties. According to post-war statistics, only more than 1800 people survived.

This account must be recorded on the Japanese.

No matter how Gaozong and Concubine Min settle accounts with the Japanese, George has not yet settled his accounts with the Japanese, so he will definitely not accept mediation.

After the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth, George's claim against Japan was 10 billion rubles.

As soon as the cannon was fired, 10 taels of gold were definitely not enough now, so George increased the amount to 20 billion.

Wollaston is very helpless. Now Japan can't even get 20, let alone 20 billion.

The British borrowing conditions are very harsh. In order to raise funds, Japan pledged all its tax revenue for the next twenty years to the British in exchange for British support.

Even so, the British still failed to guard against the Japanese.

After the Second Fleet was eliminated, Japan issued two consecutive bonds in Europe, both of which were unsecured.

At that time, the whole world was already convinced that Japan would win, so it didn't matter whether there was a mortgage or not. The Japanese would not dare to default on the loan anyway.

At this time, we can see how cunning Americans are.

Since the annihilation of the Pacific Fleet, the United States has stopped borrowing money from Japan and has instead begun to support the Russian Empire.

The Americans wish this war would last forever.

Although the Americans had bad intentions, they managed to avoid Japan's national debt trap. Those who suffered the most were undoubtedly the British government and British capitalists.

Okay, Japan's national debt is quite conscientious and does not cheat the poor.

Britain's sunk costs in Japan were too high, so when Japan lost the war, the British were most anxious.

"Honorable Grand Duke Yuriev, Japan is willing to return Sakhalin Island to Amur and cede Kanto and Korea in exchange for your understanding."

Wollaston took a low profile and ceded territory instead of paying reparations.

George laughed. Sakhalin Island was originally George's territory, and it was only natural that it should be returned to George.

Kantung and Goryeo are not from Japan. Kantung is the Kanto of the Qing Empire, and Goryeo is the Goryeo of the Goryeo people. What does it have to do with Japan?
It's not that George doesn't want peace, but such conditions are definitely not acceptable.

George's conditions were to abdicate, restructure, and garrison troops.

The emperor is not only the king of Japan, but also the spiritual leader of Japan. He is the first person responsible for Japan's series of wars since the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894.

The Qing Empire's compensation after the Sino-Japanese War of 2000- directly allocated million to the royal family, so the royal family was the largest beneficiary of Japan's war dividends.

Now that Japan is defeated, the consequences should be borne collectively by all Japanese.

George would not imitate a certain general and leave Mutsuhito to rule Japan instead of the United States.

If the Japanese spiritual leader is not removed, militarism will resurface at a critical moment in the future.

In fact, this matter is not MacArthur's own cleverness. If Japan were next to the United States, George would also keep Mutsuhito.

"Japan will not accept this plan——"

Wollaston looked ugly. George's plan was unacceptable not only to the Japanese, but also to London.

The abdication and restructuring was a peaceful transformation of Japan. After losing Japan, how could Britain continue to add sand to East Asia?

The garrison directly turned Japan into a colony of the Russian Empire, which was even more terrifying.

George had turned the East Indies into his own private domain.

Japan's current territory includes Ryukyu and Egg. If George captures these two places, Amur and East India will be connected.

By then, all of East Asia will belong to the Russian Empire.

Water cannot be poured in.

"That only shows that the Japanese have not received enough lessons -"

George was in no hurry.

If you don't accept it, then continue fighting.

George, like the Americans, hopes that this war will last forever, until Japan's national power is completely exhausted, all Japanese ambitions will be destroyed, and Japan will be completely turned into a vassal of the Russian Empire.

Korea has been recovered.

After losing their support, the destruction of the Japanese army in Kwantung is just around the corner, and the war will then advance to the Japanese mainland.

Busan was beaten to pieces, and George didn't care.

The same goes for Nagasaki.

George dealt with Wollaston easily, but St. Petersburg was not so easy.

It's not the first day that the British have dealt with George, until George's character.

Compared with George, St. Petersburg was obviously easier to deal with, so when Wollaston went to find George, Gray, who had dealt with George many times, went to St. Petersburg.

Gray should thank George.

After the conflict between the Far Eastern Military District and Japan broke out, Gray was appointed British Foreign Secretary.

The reason why it is called a conflict is because the Russian Empire did not declare war on Japan, and Japan did not declare war on the Russian Empire, so this war can only be defined as a conflict.

Unlike Amur, which was prospering, St. Petersburg was gloomy during this period.

In June last year, the sailors of the "Potemkin" revolted and St. Petersburg was forced to armistice.

Nicholas never expected that when the Russian Empire was at war with the Japanese, the Russians shouted for peace and not war all day long, as if they would be destroyed if they continued to fight.

After the Treaty of Portsmouth was signed, the Russians became even more angry because not only did the Russian Empire fail to win, but they were also forced to cede territory for peace. This was simply a shame for the Russian Empire.

Now the Russians' demands have changed from an armistice to a restructuring. Some extreme Russians even asked Nicholas to commit suicide like Nicholas I to thank the world.

After Witte returned to St. Petersburg from Washington, he was appointed by Nicholas as chairman of the Council of Ministers and presided over the work of the government.

Count Solsky, Chairman of the State Council, presided over the revision of the "Fundamental Law" and the "Duma Statutes".

On November 11, the Black Sea Fleet stationed in Sevastopol mutinied again. This time the rebels and the Guards who went to suppress it had a fierce exchange of fire.

At the same time as the Black Sea Fleet mutinied, the Siberian Railway was also occupied by striking workers, and all sections west of Lake Baikal were paralyzed.

This strike is different from previous strikes.

In previous strikes, workers just refused to work and did not disrupt the Siberian Railway.

This strike was not only large-scale, the Siberian Railway was also damaged, and many bridges and tunnels were blown up.

George has handed over the management of the Siberian Railway to the Ministry of Transport, and the Siberian Railway has nothing to do with George.

Just when St. Petersburg was in dire straits, news of the victory of the Siberian Fleet annihilating the Combined Fleet came from the Far East.

But this news is particularly ironic for St. Petersburg.

The main forces of the three major fleets of the empire were completely wiped out by the combined fleet.

Now the combined fleet has been completely wiped out by the Siberian fleet.

The Siberian Fleet was formerly known as the Amur Fleet.

Listen, a mere river fleet actually wiped out the famous United Fleet, which had already become the third largest in the world.

So Nicholas was too unqualified as a Tsar.

Grand Duke Yuriev should be allowed to be the tsar and lead the Russian Empire to glory——

George has no right to inherit. Even if Nicholas commits suicide, Crown Prince Alexei will succeed him.

But after the news of the annihilation of the United Fleet reached St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg was filled with such voices.

This is not stupid, it is completely bad!
