On September 5, 1905, after 55 days of negotiations in Brisbane, the Oceanic Empire, signed the Treaty of Brisbane, officially ending the Russo-Japanese War on the Far East.

This war that took place in the Far East was large in scale, with heavy losses and extremely bloody battles, and had a profound impact on modern military development in the 20th century.

All 13 divisions of the Japanese Army were put into war. During the war, the Fusang Kingdom revised the recruitment order, extending the service age from 32 to 37 years old, and its mobilization ability was approaching its limit.

When General Nogi's third army returned to the country successfully, General Nogi's tears were shed in the wind in the boat, writing a poem: "The emperor's army has won millions of strong soldiers, and the field battles to attack the city and make a mountain. I am ashamed of my elders, how many of them are still there today."

After returning to the country

The Emperor organized a triumphant ceremony for the army. At the welcoming meeting of Nogi Hinomi, Nogi Hinomi's first sentence was: "I killed Nogi Hinomi, my brother and my father."

As soon as this statement was spoken, the people in the welcoming crowd burst into tears, and sadness filled the victory ceremony, missing their relatives who died in battle in the distance.

September 17

The Ocean Empire received a large order from the Tsarist Russian Empire, including a 20,000-ton dock, all machinery and equipment and infrastructure of a large shipyard, 120,000 tons of cement, 16,000 tons of steel bars and other various logistics supplies, including 100,000 wool blankets, wool coats, 20,000 tons of flour, 1,500 tons of various cans, 5,000 tents, various quilts, soldier belts and leather kettles, leather boots, etc. The contract totaled 1.35 billion francs, worth approximately 67 million pounds and 135 million golden oceans.

This super contract includes the repair of 4 battleships, 11 cruisers and more destroyers, which completely reorganized the army and covered the army and the navy.

As for why this super contract is priced in francs, the reason is very simple. Tsar Nicholas II was extremely angry at the French who watched the fire from the sidelines in this war, which seriously threatened the existence of the French-Russian alliance.

The French-Russian alliance is the cornerstone of France's confrontation with the German, Italian and Austrian alliance in Europe, and no mistakes are allowed. Therefore, the French paid the bill for Tsar Nicholas II to obtain the understanding of Tsar Nicholas II.

This is nothing to do with the Ocean Empire. In order to fulfill this large order, we immediately organized a large-scale cargo fleet to head north. Large fleets of 10,000 tons of ships headed north one after another, bringing massive supplies.

This incident terrified Fusang Kingdom. It not only raised serious protests to Russia and France, but also raised serious protests to the Ocean Empire, and put pressure on the United Kingdom and the United States to try to disrupt the big business.

As a result, the Ocean Empire had no birds, Britain and the United States at all.

As for the Fusang Kingdom, which was jumping up and down, the Pacific Fleet gathered all the elite main battleships and formed two powerful fleets of two lineups, including 4 battleships and 10 cruisers, one along the South China Sea to the Yellow Sea and heading north through the Tsushima Strait.

A group headed north along the Pacific Ocean east of Taiwan, Ryukyu and Fuso Islands, and passed the Zonggu Strait. The last two powerful fleets gathered in the waters north of the four northern islands and held a large-scale live-fire exercise to shock the arrogance of the Fuso Kingdom.

After this incident, Fusang Country was silent, and Britain and the United States were beaten to the faces of "split" and could not do anything except complaining in the public opinion media.

Relying on its strong strength as its foundation, the Ocean Empire has been doing a prosperous business between Japan and Russia.

For Tsarist Russia, the Ocean Empire was its only large-scale material provider in the Far East, both Britain and Japan were enemies, Citi was a potential enemy who fully supported the enemy, and its ally France had no industrial foundation in the French Indochina Peninsula and could not provide the required materials.

If the Far Eastern Krai wants to recover quickly, it is better to obtain it from the Ocean Empire than to transport materials from Tsarist Russia and Europe. It is cheaper and more affordable, and the supply is guaranteed, with high quality and low price.

The Vladivostok port needs to build a solid fortress group, create an invincible turtle shell, and also need to build a 20,000-ton dock to repair warships for the Pacific Fleet trapped in the port and restore combat effectiveness. This is all top priority.

The failure of the Russo-Japanese War made Tsar Nicholas II extremely unwilling.

The gains and losses of the port of Lushun were the heart-wrenching pain of the Tsarist Russian Empire, which meant that the ambitious "Yellow Russia Plan" of Tsar Nicholas II's ambitious southward movement went bankrupt. This was even more sad than killing the aggressive Tsarist Russian Russians.

Therefore, the ink in the Brisbane Treaty has not dried up, and Tsarist Russia has set off a new round of re-arming frenzy.

This was an event that had never happened in history. It was like a big knife hanging on the head, far from when Ma Fang Nanshan was about to be the time. This greatly increased the financial burden of Fusang State and had to continue to maintain the military preparations of the thirteen Army divisions, and did not dare to relax at all.

In the original history

After the Russo-Japanese War, the Fuso Army and Navy carried out major layoffs. Taking advantage of the high spirit of the victorious country, they turned their energy into the process of industrialization, achieved the leap in the economic development of Fuso, quickly shortened the distance with advanced countries in Europe and the United States, and laid a solid foundation for the next round of militaris expansion.

But now it is different. Although military expenditure has dropped from 55% to 32% of total fiscal expenditure, it still accounts for one-third of the proportion, in order to maintain the higher posts and combat effectiveness of the army and navy, it can avoid affecting economic development.

It is reflected in the economic field, which means borrowing large loans to maintain the popularity of economic development, and inevitably losing some of its rights and interests.

From the Ocean Empire alone, huge loans of up to 270 million Jinyang were borrowed, and the interest paid per year exceeded 10 million Jinyang.

With financial support, a large number of Ocean Empire commodities poured into the Fusang market. While further suppressing the industrial development of Fusang, it strongly boosted the overall economy of the Ocean Empire, reflecting the huge power of financial strategy.

In the context of a strong side, there is never fairness.

The huge loan provided by the Ocean Empire can only be used to import the Ocean Empire's goods. If you want to use this money to import Citigroup products, you will be blinded.

The Fusang people were not stupid either. They used the Ocean Empire loan to build four 30,000-ton docks in Tokyo Bay, Wugang, Maizuru and Nagasaki Port respectively, and introduced relevant shipyard equipment to develop their own shipbuilding industry.

In this field, the Ocean Empire could not limit the development of the Fuso shipbuilding industry.

You don’t want to give it to it, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Italy are willing to give it to it. Not only do you give it to equipment, technology and talents, but how can you limit it?

In the original space and time

Before the Russo-Japanese War of Fuso, it had the ability to build destroyers below 1,000 tons. After just 10 years of rapid development, by World War I, it had already had the world's top shipbuilding industry and was able to design and build world-class battleships by itself.

At the beginning of a country's rise, various talents exploded. The smart Fusang people were not inferior to the Chinese. The path of success that the Ocean Empire had once taken was studied thoroughly by Fusang people and was referenced.

In terms of urban management, cars driving on the right, traffic police, municipal management, accountability system, integrity system, etc., Fusang Kingdom can be said to be the best student, and even the city slogans are all over the streets and alleys, all of which have learned them all.

Even if you tie the Ryukyu Kingdom and Yue Kingdom together, you will not be able to learn thoroughly and comprehensively.

So, Fusang is the best student.
