I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 459 Good thing

In 1879, when Ryukyu collapsed, King Shang Tai sent Lin Shigong and others to the Qing Empire to seek help.

Lin Shigong and others petitioned the Qing Empire's Prime Minister's Office or the Ministry of Rites nine times, asking the Qing Empire to help Ryukyu recover. They even waited at the Donghua Gate where all officials must pass when going to court. When they met ministers, they knelt down and cried to them for help.

After the restoration of the country failed, Lin Shigong committed suicide in front of the Prime Minister's Office of the Qing Empire on the morning of November 1880, 11.

When Lin Shigong committed suicide, he must have been in the same despair as Komura Jutaro.

Lin Shigong's suicide did not change Ryukyu's fate.

The same goes for Komura Jutaro. His suicide did not change the signing of the Treaty of Vladivostok.

On April 4, Mikhail and Gray signed the "Vladivostok Treaty" in Vladivostok. The treaty contains 1 articles. The main content is that Japan will include the Fengtian Iron Mine, the South Manchuria Railway, the Liaodong Peninsula, the southern part of Sakhalin Island, and the Kuril Islands. , Ryukyu Islands, etc., as well as all other overseas territories except Japan's four mainland islands, were used as compensation to compensate Grand Duke Yuriev for his losses in the Russo-Japanese War.

At the same time, Japan also needs to lease Nagasaki to the Siberian Fleet as a military port for the Siberian Fleet. The lease period is 99 years. After expiration, if the Siberian Fleet continues to lease, Japan cannot stop it.

As part of the compensation, Britain was required to hand over the "Katori" and "Kashima" battleships that Japan ordered from Britain to the Siberian Fleet.

In September last year, the Russian Empire was forced to sign the Treaty of Portsmouth with Japan, which became an eternal pain in the hearts of all Russians.

Nana did not return to Vladivostok with George.

Japan recognizes that the Hokkaido fisheries belong to the Vladivostok exclusive economic zone. In the future, Japanese fishermen will not be allowed to fish in the Hokkaido fisheries without the consent of the Russian Empire’s Far Eastern Military District.

"In this case, let's find her a promising officer from the military area. You may not know that there are many officers who care about Nana -"

George served as the governor of the Far East in times of crisis, fending off enemies outside the country, turning the tide, and pulling the empire back from the brink of collapse. This not only safeguarded the glory of the Russian Empire, but also saved all Russians.

Annie was grinding her teeth a little unconsciously.

Starting from February 1904, 2, the war lasted for 8 days. Kantung was destroyed for thousands of miles, Goryeo was in ruins, Arthur's Fortress was completely destroyed, and Busan and Ryugyong were deserted for thousands of miles.

George wanted to rebuild Busan, repair the South Manchuria Railway, and send troops to take over the islands along the way from Vladivostok to East India. There were so many wastes to be made and so many things to do. He was really in no mood to celebrate.

George was not proud. He had too much to do and no time to celebrate.

But before that happens, George has to deal with Anne's accountability.

In addition, Japan also needs to severely punish those responsible for the Russo-Japanese War.

Starting in 1895, Nana had been with George for 11 years.

There is no special what if, George is a barbarian, not a tauren.

George would inevitably feel guilty and let himself push others, if——

The contents of the treaty were announced, and Vladivostok was boiling.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the average life span of people was only thirty or forty years old. How many decades could a woman live?
Although Anne had expected it, she still felt a little itchy in her teeth after not being able to see Nana.

George is 34 years old this year. Due to strict demands on himself, George looks like a young man in his twenties. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as vigorous.

While George was in Siping, Anne stayed in Vladivostok, and Nana was responsible for taking care of George's life.

While George was racking his brains, the children rushed in shouting "Daddy".

Japan needs to compensate Grand Duke Yuriev of the Russian Empire 10 billion yen. This fee will be paid in the form of human resources over the next 10 years.

Hey, man, a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit!
"Nana is 27 years old. She can't live her whole life in Yuriev Palace. I let her go home."

George felt like he was being pardoned. He held the children in his arms and asked them about their welfare.

There was a banquet at Yuriev Palace in the evening. George and the soldiers celebrated their victory together and drank a few more drinks.

The next day was a reception held by the Vladivostok City Hall.

The next day was the reception in the Amur Military District.

The next day, George went to the Siberian Fleet headquarters and sent Peter to Nagasaki to serve as commander-in-chief of the Nagasaki garrison.

Then it was George who saw off Dewey.

After finally waiting for George to be free, Anne discovered that she seemed to be pregnant——

Ekaterina immediately went to the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary to restore it. If the priest hadn't tried to stop her, Ekaterina would have made a golden statue of the Holy Father.

The children were very happy. The eldest sister Alexandra wanted her sister to be named Ekaterina. This name has nothing to do with her grandmother Ekaterina, but comes from Emperor Ye.

Boris sneered, what if it was his younger brother?
"Can't my brother be called Ekaterina?"

Alexandra would not allow her brother to challenge her sister's authority.

The third child, Alexander, lay beside Anne and did not dare to say a word. The eldest sister was too overbearing.

"Shut up! Have you finished your homework?"

Anne was not angry. The children of the grand duke also had to do their homework.

"I'm done! I got an excellent grade in Chinese!"

Boris was confident.

"You only got 23 in Russian!"

Alexandra revealed the truth.

"You only got a 7 in math!"

Boris hurt each other.

Annie sneered and pointed to the feather duster next to her.

Alexander is a dog-legger, Pitian Dian brings the feather duster to Anne. "grandmother--"

Alexandra and Boris fled.

Alexander suddenly felt bad.

"What score did you get on the test?"

Anne sneered.

“All perfect scores!”

Children with good grades are confident.

"Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Alexander was dumbfounded, as expected, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

George doesn't care about the children's education, he is really busy.

After the Russo-Japanese War, more than 100 million Russians voluntarily came to the Far East to participate in the war. Most of them did not go to the battlefield, but worked in Amur enterprises, which also contributed to the defeat of Japan.

Not counting the servant troops, the total strength of the Far East Military Region now exceeds 40. Most of them need to retire in batches, otherwise they will become a burden to the Far East Military Region.

"They are all good guys who are devoted to their country and full of justice. It is a pity to let them leave the Far East like this."

Ye Luoxin hopes that George can keep everyone here.

"You can make it easy. There are nearly a million of them, and more than 90% of them are men. If they are allowed to stay, they will sooner or later become a serious social hazard."

Mikhail disagrees. As for the population, the Far East has more people.

There are 2000 million people in Goryeo.

Japan has 4000 million.

The Qing Empire had 400 million people.

Therefore, there is no shortage of labor force in the Far East, and they are all hard-working and low-paid labor force.

"The empire is disarmament, and if they are allowed to return to their place of origin, it will also become a destabilizing factor."

Brusinov's current position is deputy commander of the Far Eastern Military District, and he is qualified to participate in meetings of this level.

Before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian Imperial Army had a standing force of approximately 105 million people and a reserve force of 375 million people; during the war, the Russian Empire mobilized 120 million people to join the army.

After the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth, St. Petersburg planned to disarm, but did not take action only because it was worried about causing more serious chaos.

The current situation within the Russian Empire is dangerous enough.

If another million soldiers are laid off, the situation will be further exacerbated.

However, the current situation cannot be maintained for a long time. Nicholas has now shifted his main energy from war to domestic economic recovery. Sooner or later, this million-strong army will be laid off.

At this time, the disarmament of the Far Eastern Military District made matters worse.

"Kwantung and Goryeo, as well as Japan, all need proper immigration——"

Milyutin tried every means to divert the attention.

"How many people can be arranged here?"

George also has a big head, and his golden fingers are of no help on this issue.

George's golden finger is that he is familiar with the historical trend and knows the future development trend, so George knows that airships are just a flash in the pan, and in the end it is airplanes that shine.

George had no experience on the subject of disarmament.

But George knew that from now until the World War, if there were no accidents, there would be no war in the Far East.

Therefore, the army must be cut.

"People are not the problem. The Far East is very big and it can accommodate many people. The key is whether we can make them stay safe."

Milyutin personally participated in the Tenth Russo-Turkish War and was very experienced in this aspect.

"This is easy to handle!"

George took care of everything.

George really has no experience in disarmament.

But when it comes to settling new immigrants, George is too experienced.

Before George had time to disarm, news came from Fengtian that General Shengjing, appointed by the Qing Empire, had returned to Fengtian a few days ago and asked the Russian troops in Kwantung to withdraw from Kwantung and return Kwantung to the Qing Empire.

"We took back Guandong from the Japanese, why should we give it back to the Qing Empire?"

Ye Luoxin was very angry, and the Qing court was really good at choosing the right time.

Although the Russo-Japanese War broke out within the territory of the Qing Empire, the Qing Empire actually remained neutral. This is a big joke in the world.

There were several months between the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth and the outbreak of the Far East conflict. Ye Luoxin remembered that the Qing Empire did not ask Japan for Kanto.

"It doesn't matter, give it back to him——"

George was very happy that the taker finally came.

The Russo-Japanese War caused very serious losses to the people of Kanto. If the Qing Empire did not take over, George would have to step in and appease the people of Kanto.

Now that the Qing Empire has taken over, George can be the referee in the middle, which is a good thing!
