Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

The Oriental Empire, Dongjing, and the Prime Minister's Office.

General Katsura Katsura, Prime Minister of the Eastern Empire, has received a report from Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura Jutaro on negotiations with the Russians.

"Your Excellency, from the current point of view, the attitude of the Russians is still very tough. They are still determined to blackmail the empire. Even if they reduce the amount of war reparations they demand from three billion rubles to Two billion rubles seems to be one billion rubles less. However, this is still an astronomical figure. Even if the empire sells iron, it will not be able to get this money at all." Komura Kotaro said.

General Gui Taro nodded, of course he was unwilling to pay the money. Let alone whether the Eastern Empire has so much money, even if it does, he is definitely not willing to pay it.

The Eastern Empire suffered such heavy losses in this war. Just because of the casualties of so many troops, it needs a lot of money to pay for it! In addition, the reconstruction of the army will also cost a lot of money. The reconstruction of the navy will burn even more money.

If there is so much money, General Gui Taro will only use all the money for the reconstruction of the army, instead of giving it to the Russians in vain.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we must not allow the Russians to blackmail us like this, and absolutely cannot accept their conditions. Otherwise, we will never have a chance to stand up again." Army 08 Lieutenant General Zheng Yi also gritted his teeth Said.

"If we don't accept these conditions from the Russians, then the Russians will continue to attack and annihilate the First Army. This war will also continue." General Gui Taro said.

"They want to annihilate the First Army, so let them go. The soldiers of the First Army are all warriors of the empire, and they must have been prepared to be loyal to the empire. Even if they are wiped out by the Russians, they must He will do his best to cause even greater losses to the Russians," said General Da Shanyan, chief of staff of the Army and commander of the Manchurian Army.

In the eyes of these people, it seems that the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the First Army are not considered at all. As long as it is beneficial to the Eastern Empire, even if it is all abandoned, it is not a big deal.

General Gui Taro nodded after hearing this. He undoubtedly agrees with this point of view.

"However, we must also be prepared. If we persist and refuse to compromise, the Russians will definitely take further actions. For example, dispatching fleets to attack the ports of the empire, or even attack the empire's sea transport (adcf) Lines, etc. Once the Russians do this, it will cause a lot of trouble to the empire!" General Katsura was also a little worried about this.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, if this is the case, then we need the help of the people who never set. The people who never set are unable to suppress the Russians and cannot help us in the negotiations. However, there should be no problem in doing these small favors. Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto, Minister of the Navy, suggested.

The Eastern Empire is a country that relies heavily on maritime trade, and even necessities such as food need to be shipped by sea.

If the sea transportation line is cut off by the Russians, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Eastern Empire.

However, in the face of such a problem, they have no way to deal with it. Who caused their navy to be almost wiped out? The few destroyers that are next to each other "are not enough for the Russians to bite their teeth.

This makes them only able to turn to the sun never sets.

Although the sun never sets, people are very unreliable in many cases. However, the people on whom the sun never sets are the overlords of the sea after all! They have the most powerful navy in the world. This is their home field. If they can ensure that the mainland of the Eastern Empire will not be attacked, and that the maritime transportation lines of the Eastern Empire will not be threatened or cut off. Then, they have nothing to fear.

"The day of contact never falls, so they must support us in this regard no matter what." General Gui Taro said.

"Hi, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Foreign Minister Komura Kotaro replied.

"The Sixth Army of the Imperial Army must strengthen its vigilance, strengthen its training, and replenish its weapons and equipment as much as possible. Once the mainland is threatened by the Russians, only the army can defend the mainland of the empire at present!" General Gui Taro said.

"Hi, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Lieutenant General Terauchi Masaki, Minister of War, replied.

Although, the Eastern Army suffered extremely heavy losses on the battlefield. However, under the crazy mobilization of the Eastern Empire Army, they have completed the mobilization and formation of the 34 infantry divisions of the Sixth Army. The entire Sixth Army has nearly one million troops. Of course, once the war is over, the Eastern Army will change its organization accordingly, and even abolish the army. After all, in terms of the current financial resources of the Eastern Empire, it simply cannot afford to support so many troops!

Because the asking price of the Tsarist Russian Empire was too high, and the Eastern Empire refused to compromise, even if there was mediation by the sun never sets, the two sides could not reach an agreement for a long time. This made the negotiations between the two sides enter a stalemate again.

However, at this time, the Tsarist Russian Empire made new moves.

On September 2, 1804, the 11th Infantry Division, the 12th Infantry Division, the 13th Infantry Division, the 14th Infantry Division and the 12th Brigade of the Tsarist Russian Marine Corps

Secretly embarked from Vladivostok, under the protection of warships of the Navy's Pacific Fleet and a part of the Home Fleet, crossed the Whale Sea and headed directly to the island of Hokkaido.

On the morning of September 4th, it was just dawn.

The Tsarist Russian Navy's home fleet and the Pacific Fleet began to carry out fierce shelling on the Hanguan and Sapporo of the Hokkaido Island of the Eastern Empire.

Because of the disastrous defeat of the combined fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy, most of the warships were lost. As a result, the Eastern Empire's control over the surrounding waters has been weakened to the extreme. So much so that they knew nothing about the actions of the Tsarist Russian Navy.

In other words, the Orientals never thought that the Tsarist Russian Empire dared to attack their homeland.

Especially when the First Army of the Eastern Army has not been wiped out, and the Koryo Peninsula is still under the control of the Eastern Empire, the Tsarist Russian Empire will take the lead in launching an attack on the mainland of the Eastern Empire, which is simply beyond everyone's expectations what!

However, no matter what the Orientals think. However, the war has already begun. The Russian Empire's attack on the mainland of the Eastern Empire has already begun.

"Boom! Boom!"

Culvert tube offshore, Tsugaru Strait.

Two 'Mikhail I-class' battleships and two 'Ekaterina-class' battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy are bringing several heavy cruisers and armored cruisers, as well as light cruisers and destroyers, to attack the 66th Infantry of the Eastern Army. The division positions opened fire. .
