"snort!"

"The Austrians are sure that we dare not..."

When the words came to his mouth, Nicholas II swallowed it back. There was no way, the current Tsarist government really dared not to tear down the covenant.

There are covenants and constraints. At most, the Vienna government will make small moves secretly and will not target the Russian Empire on the surface.

Once there is no covenant, it will not only limit the supply of strategic materials, but will also openly support the independence movement.

"Dissolve the Russian Empire" is the common dream of European politicians, and Vienna is naturally no exception.

Originally, the rebels in China were in trouble. If there was a world overlord platform, the next situation would be even more difficult to deal with.

Nicholas II had a poor strategic vision, but he was still skilled in the rules of the political game and knew how to use the rules to be the most beneficial to the Russian Empire.

"Forget it, since the Austrians refuse, these foreign-related practices will be put on hold for the time being. When we take this breath, we will find an opportunity to settle with them.

As allies, we ask them for help, and the Vienna government has not made any statement, right?”

It’s hard to bear. Although Mao Bears are used to being “reckless”, it does not mean that they will not “tolerate”.

There are so many countries that have plotted against Russia at the moment, and it is obvious that the Tsarist government has committed public anger. Even if the Vienna government is willing to support them, it can't actually do anything.

For the Vienna government, Russia is an ally. European countries are also an ally. Since it is an internal struggle between allies, it can only be mixed.

Nicholas II did not fantasize about how the Vienna government could do to other countries, mainly hoping that all countries would lift the "embargo" of materials.

Now that the goal has not been achieved, let’s settle for the second best and seek help from the Vienna government directly.

There is an obligation to help among allies. Although it is a bit embarrassing to ask Shenluo to send troops to suppress the rebellion, face is really nothing compared to stabilizing the situation as soon as possible.

Foreign Minister Mikhairovic: "The Vienna government agreed to provide us with weapons assistance for 30,000 rifles, 1,000 machine guns, 500 artillery and 100 tanks.

As for the request to send troops to suppress the rebellion, they rejected it on the grounds that they did not interfere with the internal affairs of their allies.

However, they promised to ensure the logistics supply of our army on the Indian front. When the world war ended, the export of materials would be restored immediately."

There was a lot of weapon assistance, but the ammunition was leaked. With only weapons and equipment, but not enough ammunition, the fire stick was in the hands of the soldiers.

If you are a little more unscrupulous, you will extend the delivery time a little bit, or you will be making trouble at the delivery location, you may not even get the fire stick.

For example: provided to the Russian army on the Indian front.

"Not interfering in internal affairs" sounds good, reflecting the Vienna government's respect for the sovereignty of allies. The problem is that since it does not interfere in internal affairs, why should we provide weapons and equipment?

The most tricky thing is that as the central government, the Vienna government did not manage the younger brothers below. The main force supporting the Polish independence movement this time was the Kingdom of Prussia.

In fact, this is not the first time Prussia has done such a thing. Since Prussia returned to the Holy Roman Empire, it has become unpredictable.

From the initial secretly interacting with the Polish independent organization, to the later stage, it was even more openly to take in the "remnants of the United Kingdom of Popo".

The current Polish rebels, all middle and upper-level officers have served in the Prussian army, and more than half of the grassroots officers have come from the Prussian army.

The current war in Warsaw is more like a continuation of the Prussian-Russian War than a Polish-Russian war.

If there was no acquiescence from the Vienna government behind this, why would the Kingdom of Prussia dare to play so big?

If Pubo has historical origins, Berlin can barely say that supporting the Polish independence movement; but what is the matter of supporting the Lithuanian independence movement?

Paying money, giving people, and giving efforts all have costs. It’s not that everyone looks down on the Kingdom of Prussia, but with the Berlin government’s family background, they really can’t afford such a big deal.

It is not only the Kingdom of Prussia, but also Sweden, which supports the Finnish independence movement, Greece, which supports the Bulgarian independence movement, and Ukrainian independence movement...

One by one, all behind the scenes point to the Vienna government. With the current international situation, there is no other company except the Holy Roman Empire that can instigate all countries to attack the Russian Empire.

Even though he knew who was behind the scenes, Nicholas II asked the Vienna government for help, essentially sending a political signal: We can't afford to play anymore, admit that you are the world's boss, stop messing around with me.

However, politics is not a game, and bowing down and admitting defeat does not mean the end. The response given by the Vienna government is not satisfactory to the Tsarist government.

This world war is the last time to divide the world. Unless the Holy Roman Empire falls, don't even think about it again.

The export of strategic materials to Russia was restored only after the end of the world war, which was almost explicitly stated: The division of the world this time has nothing to do with the Russian Empire.

For the Tsarist government, this was undoubtedly a disaster. The Russian Empire also spent a lot of money on this world war.

Even if a civil war broke out, the Russian troops on the front line did not withdraw back. Of course, the troops on the front line could not retreat.

No matter what, there are always millions of Russian troops fighting bloody battles in this war and making outstanding contributions to this world war.

However, sharing the spoils depends not only on contribution, but also on strength. The Russian Empire in the civil war naturally did not have the ability to compete with other countries for spoils.

How much benefits can be divided in the end depends on the moral integrity of the Vienna government. You don’t have to think about it, even if you can get a spoil, it may be just some leftovers.

But Nicholas II cannot refuse now, otherwise the days ahead of the Russian Empire will be even more painful.

There are only so many trophys in total. If there are fewer people, each family will get one more share. Especially if the giant Russian Empire is missing, it is even more beneficial to all countries.

The Vienna government has made it clear that it has given up India, and now only European countries are left to fight themselves. As long as the Russians are kicked out, everyone will be able to eat enough.

In the past, people would never dare to offend the Russian Empire, but the benefits involved are too great now, which is enough to make all countries crazy.

Coupled with the vague hints of the Vienna government, it has stimulated the ambitions of various countries. If the Tsarist government does not agree now, everyone will dare to hunt bears.

...

Political confrontation is ultimately determined by strength.

Since the main force of the Russian army was dragged on the front line, the troops used to suppress domestic rebellions were all newly formed troops. The mobs faced the mobs, and both sides were considered to be matched by the chess opponents, so the battle to combat the rebellion was naturally not going smoothly.

The Russian army on the Indian battlefield was fine, and they fought with the Allies, and the Vienna government was unable to hunger.

The Russian army in the Far East was in trouble. As French workers launched a rebellion in Siberia, the Tsarist government hoarded all the supplies along the way and became the resources of the rebels.

Losing domestic material support, the Russian army in the Far East could only obtain supplies through smuggling.

Although the smuggling merchants in the Far East were very powerful, the Far East Empire itself was an agricultural country.

Basic materials such as grain, cloth, tents, cotton coats, etc. can be bought as long as you have money. Special materials such as medicines, weapons and ammunition, aircraft spare parts, etc. will be troublesome.

Especially after various countries implemented blockade policies against Russia, large arms dealers disappeared and directly cut off the Russian army's access to weapons and ammunition by smuggling large quantities.

The Russian army had to save some bullets when one bullet was fired, and the Russian army had to save some use. Aircraft and airship were even worse. These days, the spare parts of fighter aircraft have very short lifespans, and they usually have to be replaced after a few flights.

Due to the lack of sufficient spare parts reserves, the Russian Air Force in the Far East was forced to reduce the number of attendances. After struggling for a while, he finally lay on the ground.

Even though the Russian army is still brave, due to logistics restrictions, the flesh and blood body is still hard to be a machine gun cannon.

After paying the tragic price of 80,000 casualties, on October 24, 1905, the Japanese army conquered Vladivostok. Nearly 50,000 Russian defenders were forced to lay down their weapons and surrender after the ammunition was exhausted.

A month before that, the brigade...fortress had fallen. Although the Japanese army paid a heavy price,

The situation in the Far East was completely reversed.

In the past year, the Tsarist government has lost more than 500,000 troops in the Far East, and the remaining Russian troops are now less than 200,000.

Even if the Siberian railways immediately recovered from smooth operation, lost a large number of troops and many strategic areas, the Russian army is now unable to make up for the situation.

...

The Russo-Japanese War was won, and the Japanese government still looked solemn.

In the past days, I only wanted to severely damage the Russian army in the Far East and fulfill the agreement with the Vienna government, but I never cared about the casualties of soldiers.

Now that the war is over and when the losses are counted, everyone is shocked by the shocking number of casualties.

As the winner of the war, Japan's casualties were a little more serious than the Russian army, with as many as 380,000 soldiers killed and 760,000 injured.

(Note: The injured person can participate in the battle again after recovery, and there are repeated calculations)

There is no way, who makes them the attacking side?

Although in the later stages, the Russian army lacked weapons and ammunition, but they did not lack food! It was meaningless to delay time, so they could only take a strong attack.

The tragedy is that after the Naval Battle of Malacca, Japan's trade line with Europe was directly interrupted, and weapons and ammunition were all produced by local sources.

Ordinary guns can barely supply, and cutting-edge aircraft and tanks become consumables.

Due to the lack of sufficient heavy firepower, the Japanese army can only fill in human life. But now the spirit of the Bushido is rampant, and the mainstream of the army is to fight desperately, and it doesn’t take any brains to start a war.

Although they were brave in war, the price they paid was amazing. Everyone did not pay attention to it during the battle, and when they were finally counted, everyone could not be moved.

With the number of casualties on paper alone, everyone can be sure that the Japanese Empire lost a miserable loss this time. It is true that it defeated the Russians, but compared with the price they paid, it is not worth the loss.

The navy was abolished and the army was destroyed. The rats could starve to death in the treasury. The whole country was full of "white sails", but the final harvest was three cold words - "Defeated Country".

After completing the agreement, it does not mean that things will be understood. To end the war, Japan needs to pay more.

What's more, the agreement with the Vienna government was only carried out through hints, and no written documents were signed with them, and there was not even a specific promise.

The final outcome depends entirely on the moral integrity of the Vienna government. If Japan and Russia had not formed a deadly enemy, there would have been no room for ease, the Japanese government would have been unable to do it.

Even the mature and persistent Hirobuki Ito has no calmness as before at this moment. Even if he has been in charge of the strong winds and waves, he has never seen such huge waves that may overturn Japan.

The key to the problem lies in the "heavy losses". The Japanese Empire is currently at its weakest time and there is no capital to talk about treatment.

Now Hirofumi Ito dares not bet that the enemy will not be able to fight the expedition, because there is no need for any expedition to deal with the current Japan.

As long as warships are sent to lock the coastline, Japan, as an island country, will immediately fall into trouble.

"Everyone please relax. There is an old saying in the Far Eastern Empire next door: It is a blessing to lose one's horse. It is very suitable to describe us now.

The Ocean Alliance collapsed, and as the loser in the war, the Empire would have to pay a heavy price for it. Otherwise, the Victory Kingdom would feel uncomfortable, and now the Empire has paid.

The mainland alliance is not an ironclad piece of cake. It is no secret that European countries jointly suppress the Russians.

We happened to do something they wanted to do but it was not convenient to do it directly. There was no time for all countries to thank us, so how could they deliberately make things difficult for us?"
