Chapter 439 Li Enfu's term of office is only five years

@@@@@@@@Yanjing in June is sultry at the beginning, and the low clouds always have a feeling of breathless, which makes everyone want to transition to a hot summer all of a sudden, and simply scalding.

In such a season, it seems that everyone has forgotten the crucial negotiations on the other side of the ocean. Li Enfu continued his construction plan and spread new drawing paper. While ensuring industrial and infrastructure, he also began to accelerate the construction of fertilizers and other agricultural facilities according to the news from Li Mo and the experimental field. At the same time, it began to divide the provinces on the map of Siberia to study where the railway should be paved.

While enjoying life with the four women, Emperor Li was busy studying the gains and losses of the war with Chen Ping, while thinking about how to use existing means and technologies to accelerate the process of the new military revolution.

Long Guozhang is worried about more than 100,000 tons of steel in the port. He doesn't know when Chen Ping said that someone will come to grab the Shengjing will appear, and he has to go to the shipyard to supervise the construction progress of the new generation of light patrols, arrange the navy to rest, and prepare for the expedition goal that he still does not know. According to his words, "I don't even have time to hug my wife. Yes."

Tan Xiaozeng officially resigned from the position of Chief of Naval General Staff and became the commander of Naval Logistics, but the successor was a little unexpected to everyone. It was not a captain of any capital ship, but Xie Baozhang, the former head of staff of the Beiyang Pipe Belt with the experience of studying in Britain.

As for the position of commander of the Nanyang Fleet, he was also taken over by Liu Bujin after the storm calmed down. The former Beiyang Admiral was very capable and popular in the navy, so he was soon recognized by everyone.

Germany and Britain are still competing. They are developing newer and stronger battleships for the Battle of Westby Road. The fighter of the British navy witnessed the destruction of the Russian fleet. After discovering the speed advantage of Limer's main fleet, he began to lock himself in the office, making his eyes red and sketching a The brand-new cruiser, this time he is determined to surpass Li Mo.

Like the dull weather, the land of China felt a strange atmosphere. When the joy of the navy's victory over the Russian fleet gradually dissipated, everyone found that the war was not over, and there was still a confrontation outside the northwest.

The chaos that happened in Russia and began to spread from the city to the countryside became more and more intense. In just one month, thousands of farms were burned, food was robbed, and riots intensified everywhere.

Nicholas II took the lead and was a little unable to sit still. Because many of the people involved in the riot were farmers, the garrisons everywhere had a situation of rebellion, so he now needed to transfer hundreds of thousands of troops outside Tomsk to suppress the rebellion, but the problem was that the negotiations were still in a deadlock. At this time, the withdrawal of troops was undoubtedly to leave his back. He was an opponent, so he had to send a telegram to Witt in person to inquire about the negotiations.

After the most difficult waiting, Witt finally got the good news ten days before the deadline of the second armistice. The French political axe, which has always regarded Russia as a partner to work together to contain Germany, took the lead in expressing its willingness to provide an emergency loan of 500 million francs to Russia to help Russia restore its domestic situation.

At the same time, the United States also made a promise to provide $500 million in loans and military supplies to Russia. Britain, considering its own interests, also made a loan commitment, and Kaiser Wilhelm II even wrote a handwritten letter saying that Germany could provide "a large number of cheap" loans.

Vit's goal has finally been achieved. Even if it loses the war and causes Russia to lose one-third of its territory, with these loans, Russia will soon be able to stand up again.

On June 30, the Philadelphia negotiations, which had been deadlocked for more than a month, began again under the auspices of U.S. Secretary of State John Hay, and this time both sides went straight to the topic.

Tang Shaoyi proposed to redraw the border between the two countries with the current actual line of military control of the Ob River. At the same time, Russia must immediately move more than 3 million people to the east.

Not to mention Witt's conditions, even the United States, Britain and other countries will not agree, and the vast territory between the Ob River and the Lena River did not all belong to China in history, so Witt only promised to divide the border according to Lake Berga and the Lena River.

Bargaining, patting the table and insulting, this is negotiation. Don't think that a group of well-dressed people with noble titles will sit there and drink red wine to outline the map. The national interests are full of baht at any time and anywhere.

Tang Shaoyi must fight for an inch of land on the territorial issue, which gives all those who participated in the negotiations a headache. The most important thing is that Russia has no counter-emptive force now. It is impossible for all countries to go to war with Xinhua now, so they have to see the negotiations get deadlocked again.

On July 10, at the same time as the end of the prescribed ceasefire, under the cover of a large number of armored vehicles, three infantry divisions and two cavalry divisions suddenly rushed out of Tomsk. The information was asymmetric. They also believed that the Russian army, which had been resting, was completely stunned. The war that lasted for two days, led to the Russian company. He retreated and finally had to retreat to the Petropavlovsk Fortress.

When the news reached Philadelphia, Witt and representatives of various countries finally couldn't sit still. As the most important fortress in Western Siberia, if Petropavlovsk fell, it would mean that where to go to Yekaterinaburg would become a shortcut, so Witt sent a telegram to Nicholas II again and finally persuaded him to Teime. The estuary of the Hatanga River to the east of the Er Peninsula is the starting point in the north, and the Kotui River to the south is the boundary. In short, it is divided into two according to the 100-line east longing. Except for the Temel Peninsula, all belongs to Russia, and the other eastern regions are ceded to Xinhua.

Nicholas II gritted his teeth and agreed to this condition. Although this was much better than the worst demarcation of the Ira River in Li Mo's heart, Tang Shaoyi felt that it was not enough and became interested in the overseas area east of the Yenisei River and the south of the Angara River.

This is a fat grassland!

Nicholas II was very angry as if he personally slaughtered Li Mo with a huge army, but the real pressure made him have to lower his head. After Tang Shaoyi lobbied the United States, Britain and other countries, under the pressure of loans and domestic riots, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.

After the most critical land issue was solved, the next negotiations were much simpler. First of all, it was falsely confirmed that China and Russia would continue to be friendly, and then the two countries each limited the size of the garrison. According to the treaty, Xinhua and Russia had to deploy more than 50,000 troops on the new border. In addition, Tang Shaoyi did not have any compensation. The pursuit is just to symbolize the surname and ask for two million US dollars in compensation for the sacrificed soldiers.

Witt, who received a large number of promised loans, didn't even want to ask for instructions and directly agreed to the request. However, on the most critical issue of ransom for prisoners of war, Nicholas II refused without even thinking about it, and did not even talk about redeeming several old warships. In his opinion, Russia did not lack population. The more than two million people who had to be withdrawn from the East were enough to give him a headache. What's more, as long as the rebellion was solved, he could re-arm millions of troops again to fight and regain the lost land, so he would care about the hundreds of thousands of people who were captured, but later, he was extremely regretful, because ten years later, when the group learned that they had been killed by Nicholas II. After returning to China after serving their sentences, almost all of the soldiers who were regarded as grass mustards joined the revolutionary army led by Lenin.

On July 25, the Philadelphia Treaty was hotly released. After the two sides of the Sino-Russian negotiations signed the treaty separately, the whole world was relieved, but no one knew that Nicholas II almost smashed all the vases that day, because it meant that Russia suddenly lost one-third of the land, but Xinhua officially took it. It replaced Russia as the world's largest land country.

The historic Treaty of Portsmouth announced that Japan had officially become the hegemon of Asia and entered the international club, and the Philadelphia Treaty also showed that a new member had been welcomed by the club of this great power.

On August 1, just one year after the war, Li Mo, in the name of the emperor of the Xinhua Empire, announced the end of the war against Russia and announced that the Chinese nation had completely recovered all the land in the past!

When the big new map was released, it washed away the haze in everyone's hearts like a rainstorm in summer. The students first took to the streets to tell each other, and Li Mo also timely announced the national three-day holiday to celebrate the victory.

Just after Li Mo announced that he would work four days after the end of the war, Li Enfu presided over the new five-year plan meeting. According to this meeting, he divided the Siberian region, including Kamchatka, into ten provinces. At the same time, in order to accelerate the control there, he also formulated a huge immigration plan of 30 million yuan in ten years for the first time. According to this plan, the ten provinces of Nanyang, Northwest and Siberia will each account for 10 million.

If the Nanyang immigrants have begun to get on the right track and the northwest has also begun to start slowly, the Siberian immigration is not difficult. The main reason is that it is too cold there, especially in the far north places such as the Kamchatka Peninsula. Even the Russians are afraid, except for living in the second port city of Petropavlovsk. There are more than 10,000 Russians living there, and other places are barren at all.

So if you want to solve the immigration plan, you must first do a good job in road construction. The Siberian railway left by Russia needs to be changed to the Xinhua rail system. At the same time, at the time when the branch line from Jilin to Buri has been completed, two other branches will be opened in Kulun and Usuyaritai to connect China and Mongolia and the northwest with Siberia.

In addition to the connection, according to Li Enfu's final plan, the three branch lines from Jilin to Boli, Kulun to Angarsk, and Usuyaritai to the Angara River not only connect to the Siberian Railway, but also need to continue to extend to the north, not only to contact the Kamchatka Peninsula, but also to eventually enter the northern estuary.

Even Li Mo was dumbfounded when he saw this plan. Li Enfu was more powerful than himself. Not to mention whether the technology could be solved, the ambition to go to the Arctic Circle made him ashamed of his latecomer!

Li Enfu is not the kind of person who leaps forward. Even he knows that he can only work a few months a year in Siberia. It may not take ten years to repair so many railways. He just wants to leave a grand goal for the latecomers, because his term is only It's the last five years.

So Li Mo did not interfere in the end. As Li Enfu said, diffraction to the north can't be solved in a day or two. What he has to do is to give the latecomers a guide and help them draw out the future railway layout first. What's more, the most unlucky thing to build a railway in that kind of cold place is hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners and millions of construction soldiers. Group.

On the same day, three new tractor factories were built almost at the same time. Tractors are indispensable tools for farming on frozen land, so Li Mo focused on strengthening construction in this area, and also placed orders for 5,000 vehicles at the first Changchun Machinery Factory to produce tractors, ready to send them to the first batch of immigrants to Siberia. .

Standing on the terrace, when Li Mo's hands slid into Yue'er's clothes and covered the palms of his hands, he thought that Li Enfu's term of office was only five years, which also meant that Xinhua's first real general election would be held in five years, and he still had at most ten years to prepare.

When the moon was in a mess, there was a tinkling sound of gun rivering in Europe...
