As for who to sell these warships to, he has already found a good target. Li Hongzhang and Liu Kunyi, these two old guys are now thinking about expanding their naval strength, especially Liu Kunyi. His Nanyang Navy does not have a single large warship, and even

He doesn't even have a small cruiser like Takao, which puts him at a very disadvantageous situation in today's delicate situation. If Naniwa and Takachiho are sold to him, he will definitely like it, but I don't know if he has that much money, although he is the governor of Ryojiang.

, but in fact it only governs Jiangsu, and both Jiangxi and Anhui have governors.

As for Li Hongzhang, if he turned his old rival's flagship into his own ship, I think he would also like it.

Baokele expressed full understanding of Yang Feng's request. This guy is famous for not moving without benefit. Besides, the four Japanese cruisers are indeed useless in Wu Port. As long as they go to sea, they will definitely be attacked by the Russians.

If they were sunk and did not go to sea until the final negotiation between the two parties, it is estimated that there is a 90% possibility that they would have to be compensated to the Russians. If this is the case, it is definitely better to let them fall into the hands of Yang Feng.

After negotiating the terms, it's time to discuss how to mediate. The British method is very simple. Send the fleet to wander in the Sea of ​​Japan, and then the diplomatic department will contact Russia and come up with a reasonable plan. However, this plan must be studied in advance.

, and it would be best for Yang Feng to send a telegram directly to Empress Alexandra, who would forward it to the Russian Emperor, so that both parties could check it out first.

"Hokkaido will definitely be given to Russia, and Aomori will probably have to be given to them as well. In fact, I think this is acceptable. The Russians only want a frost-free port in the Far East, and this is what your country is worried about. But even if they

After getting to Hokkaido, they still couldn't get what they wanted. After Vladivostok was frozen, they still couldn't go to sea directly from land. The only way was to maintain a fleet in Hokkaido, but there was no industry and no resources in this area. This fleet

The scale cannot be too large. The significance for the Russian Navy is that they no longer have to ask others to borrow a place to spend the winter. It is still unrealistic to serve as the outlet for the entire country. Yang Feng said that this should be Nikolai

This is the acceptable bottom line. After all, the Russian army has suffered more than 70,000 casualties so far. It is impossible not to get something tangible.

The British know this too.

"As for reparations, we don't need to worry about this. The more they ask for, the more the Japanese will borrow, and I'm afraid no one is willing to borrow except your country. What else do they have to mortgage now? Isn't that the case?

Will there be tariffs and silkworm exports? By then, these things will be under the control of the United Kingdom. Then this country will be completely controlled by the United Kingdom." Yang Feng went on to say, needless to say, the British also understand this, relying on borrowing

Controlling other countries is an old routine of these great powers.

After the two people discussed it, they immediately split up. Baokele went to persuade the Japanese, while Yang Feng sent a telegram to Alexandra to see if Nicholas could accept such conditions. The Japanese responded quickly,

They have no choice. If they continue to fight, no matter whether they win or lose, Japan will be completely ruined. As it stands now, they can't expect to recover in less than 20 years. However, they can only accept a compensation of 10 million pounds, which is their limit.

Even the previous compensation to the Eight-Nation Allied Forces plus the loans to purchase arms during this period, they have borrowed 40 million pounds of Yama debt from the British. With Japan's now bankrupt economy, I really don't know how to repay it.

In what year and month, their customs duties and salt taxes have all been mortgaged. No matter how much more they have, I don't know what else can be mortgaged.

But there was never any result from the Russians.

Alexandra just sent him a telegram, which Your Majesty needs to consider.

This was within Yang Feng's expectation. If Kyoto and Kobe were not captured, Nicholas would probably have agreed, and his soldiers on the front line would not have agreed either. The gray animals had long been seduced by the legendary Japanese imperial tombs paved with gold.

His eyes were blood red, there was no reason to refuse to enter.

The British were eager to go north to put pressure on the Russians. Since they had agreed to work together, Yang Feng naturally found it difficult to refuse. The Predator led four destroyers to join the British fleet, and at the same time, Li Hongzhang completed the transport of six destroyers.

The landing ship and its four ships have been heading to India as high-speed cargo ships to accompany the support, and from there they will load the British Army or the Asan Army. If it is to be a deterrent, it must be a full set.

But at this time, Fox Waldzer finally found an opportunity to take revenge on the British. After he was tricked by the British last time in the Battle of Tokyo, this guy has been thinking about avenging this arrow. In the Anglo-Swiss fleet

When heading north, the German fleet in Taiwan also left the port. Fox's request was very clear. Either he would be brought along to mediate, and the Japanese government would promise to exempt the import of German goods from duty for ten years, or the German Far East Fleet would go to the Korean Strait for military exercises.

"Your Excellency, Minister, this is what Count Waldzer said. I don't think we need to argue about such trivial matters. Anyway, the benefits paid are also for the Japanese. You should understand that since the last time you exercised in the Korean Strait, he and he

General Tirpitz has always been dissatisfied." Yang Feng said to Baokele with an apologetic look.

He loved to do this kind of job of muddying the waters. The telegram to Alexandra was sent at the same time as the same telegram to the Kaiser. How could William miss such a good thing? He could get revenge for one stone.

It also brings benefits, who wouldn’t love to do it!

The British were helpless. It would be really troublesome to force Germany and Russia together. Besides, they were really guilty about what happened last time. It would be a good idea to use this opportunity to make amends with the relationship between the two parties. Therefore, the British government quickly agreed.

In this way, the fleets of the two countries have become the fleets of the three countries before they leave the Taiwan Strait.

But before reaching the Korean Strait, trouble arose again. The French fleet intercepted the landing fleet sent by Yang Feng to India to transport troops to the British. At the same time, more than 20 ships led by the battleships Charles Martel and Kornber

French warships also began to head north. It seemed that this time they really wanted to fulfill their obligations as allies.

After learning the news, the Russian fleet also set up a battle formation in the Korean Strait. After several months of calm, Northeast Asia was once again turbulent.

On land, the Russian Fourth Army that landed in Maizuru rolled over the Japanese land like a steamroller, leaving ruins everywhere it passed. In addition to a bunch of coolies and comfort workers, the whole Maizuru and Higashi Maizuru were left behind.

The other women were stabbed to death with bayonets and thrown into the Yura River. Enraged by this horrific method, the Japanese 10th and 11th divisions fought desperately to block their attack on their home soil.

It's a pity that they have more than enough ambition but not enough strength. It's not that the imperial army doesn't work hard, but that the gap between the two sides is too big, and of course it's not in terms of equipment.

Because of the British behind-the-scenes support, the Japanese army's equipment at this time was not bad. The British army, which was in the process of large-scale replacement of authorized production versions of Bofors rapid-fire rifles, bought their retired old-fashioned rifles to the Japanese at a high price. Unfortunately,

What's more, Japan no longer has qualified soldiers. More than a year of continuous war has drained the country of its blood.

Before the Sino-Japanese War, Japan organized a total of seven standing divisions, and there were more than 200,000 reserve troops. So far, most of them have died on the battlefield, and the rest are all on the northern front. The two southern divisions

They are all composed of veterans from a brigade as the backbone, plus reserve soldiers who have never fired a gun a few times. In the face of the Russian elite who are temporarily equipped with a large number of Bofors machine guns, you can imagine how strong the combat effectiveness can be.

You see, what's more, these Russian troops also purchased a large number of poison gas bombs from Sweden. This is also Yang Feng's compensation to Her Majesty the Queen.

Fukuchiyama, Japan, the Japanese position on the Yura River Defense Line was like hell. Countless soldiers were struggling in the poisonous mist of mustard gas and waiting to die. Everyone was coughing like crazy until they coughed out their burned lungs.

Above their heads, mortar bombs filled with poisonous gas continued to fall. Nikolai purchased more than one hundred tons of poisonous gas bombs from Bofors, all of which were equipped with the Fourth Army.

He was also a little helpless at this point. The performance of the main force of the Japanese army on the Morioka battlefield was no worse than that of the Russian army. In the early stage, due to insufficient equipment, they were suppressed by the Russian army. However, after obtaining British weapons, they were able to launch a counterattack. This made it necessary for them to

Nicholas, who had ended the war before Vladivostok was frozen, was very anxious. Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen told him that Yang Feng agreed to sell poison gas bombs, so he should hurry up and get more.

As for the scandal between the empress and Yang Feng, how could any Russian man care about this?

With the help of poison gas bombs, the Yuragawa defense line that Japan had worked so hard to build was broken by the Russian army in just one day. More than 15,000 people in two divisions died under this weapon, which they regarded as a devil.

The enclosed mountain terrain here maximized the lethality of the poisonous gas. Seeing the tragedy of corpses strewn in front of him, the Japanese commander Prince Komatsunomiya painfully chose to commit seppuku.

The 40,000 Russian troops, who could be said to be almost unscathed, crossed the biggest obstacle to Kyoto by stepping on the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere. Then the troops split into two groups, one way to Kameoka and the other to Hayama. The remaining Japanese troops were in

Led by Lieutenant General Nogi Nogi Nogi, commander of the 10th Division, they relied on the mountainous terrain to block the attack step by step.

After learning this horrific news, the entire Kansai region was in despair and panic. Emperor Meiji, who had not yet moved back to Tokyo, even issued an imperial edict calling on the Japanese people to take action and defend their homeland with their lives. In response to his call, several people

One hundred thousand Japanese civilians were armed with all the weapons they could find in the shortest possible time. Even some strong women were given items such as awls. As for iron cannons, bows, arrows, katana swords, etc., needless to say, the current
Chapter completed!
