Chapter 269 Japan was defeated and defeated again
Qiu Jin's words also embarrassed Hu Chuyuan.
In fact, Hu Chuyuan did not intend to really solve those problems in person, which may be his selfish aspect.
He is not a great man, although everyone wants him to be an indispensable great man in this era and China.
On the way back to the political park, Hu Chuyuan walked on the green brick road between the two walls. He couldn't help thinking... What should he do to make the people richer?
Agriculture should adhere to the current large-scale agricultural economic policy, and industry should gradually improve the welfare benefits of workers.
What else?
Sometimes I think that Hu Chuyuan especially agrees with the high welfare policies implemented by Nordic countries such as Germany and Sweden. The problem is that China is too big and it is difficult to average the development of various regions. It is more difficult to implement such policies.
When he established the Grand Duke Party, didn't he want to build a world's society?
On the road of only more than 600 meters from the Prime Minister's Office to the Seniority Park, Hu Chuyuan walked for nearly ten minutes and returned to the Senior Senior Senior Senior Garden. He thought that although it was still very difficult, the socialism of the left-handed policy was necessary, and it must be the long-term governing concept of the Grand Duke Party.
To build an enterprise, he hopes to build an old enterprise that can inherit a hundred years and build a party. He also hopes to establish an old party that can rule for a long time for a hundred years.
Should we further accelerate the construction of the Dagong Party?
He thought.
At the end of August, as the French navy gradually retreated to Luoxian Port, the Beiyang headquarters joint fleet stationed in Yuanshan Port launched a general attack on the Russian navy.
The Chinese navy is indeed a little impetuous, but this battle is even less suspenseful.
The Russian navy... To be honest, it's really too bad. It's even equipped with an ironclad cruiser built in 1883.
There is a world of difference between the Chinese and Russian navies in terms of radio communication, artillery configuration, naval command, ship quality and combat effectiveness.
Now, Russia really has no idea.
Tsar Nicholas II made a request for peace talks to China through Kaiser Wilhelm II, on the condition that he lost money but not the land. As long as the [***] team withdraws from Russian territory, everything else can be negotiated.
Neuropathy!
Are they only allowed to be greedy, not the Chinese to be greedy?
Hu Chuyuan did not refuse the request for peace talks, and the conditions were also very simple. All east of the Ural Mountains belonged to Chinese territory. Russia withdrew from Asia and continued to fight if it did not retreat.
Of course, the Russians disagree.
During this period, Hu Chuyuan did not intend to really sit down and negotiate with Russia. After expelling the Russians and Allied forces from the Far East, the Northeast Corps and the Zhili Corps gathered in Omsk by railway, and the Qingxu Corps went south to join the Jianghuai Corps.
After the loss of Seoul, the Japanese army had a total of 17 divisions, and nearly 540,000 elite troops were forced to retreat to the vicinity of North Chungcheong Province and Daegu. The problem was that their retreating road was once again cut off by the Chinese navy.
The tragedy of history has been repeated again.
The Beiyang Fleet firmly occupied Busan Port and Tsushima Island, while the Chinese headquarters fleet was stationed in Yuanshan Port and was ready to attack Hokkaido at any time. The joint formation of the Pacific Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet were stationed in Jinwuwan Port, occupied the Iwo Jima Islands, and extended its tentacles to the whole southern part of Japan.
Before the full transfer of military forces to Russia, Hu Chuyuan's plan was very simple - to annihilate all the Japanese army in North Korea.
On the northwest front, some of the main divisions of the Huguang Corps, Zhili Corps, the Northeast Corps and the Shaanxi-Ganning Corps began to assemble. The Liangguang Corps were fully transferred to North Korea and landed from Busan. They cooperated with the Beiyang Fleet and the Marine Division to block the retreat of the Japanese army. At the same time, they dispersed the main force of the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese army to deploy troops to prevent Daegu. .
The Fujian and Zhejiang Corps and the Nanyang allied forces are concentrated in the Ryukyu Islands and the southern part of Kyushu Island. Half of the Southwest Corps is deployed in Vietnam, and half is stationed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and other important economic areas.
In the Zhili area, Hu Chuyuan still only relies on the Secret Service Garrison Brigade and the direct and addend troops of the 10th Division of Zhili to maintain the safety of the Beijing Division. The Qingxu Corps left a division in Jinzhou, and there is generally a reserve force of a division in various places, in addition to the National Guard.
A total of 2.17 million army troops, plus 270,000 Nanyang allied forces, plus 440,000 naval troops, including the Marine Division, are not overstretched, but they are basically used to the limit.
On the Korean Peninsula, the total strength of China's navy and army has exceeded 700,000, and in the northwest battlefield, the total strength of the Chinese army has exceeded 1.32 million.
September 14th.
The two main battlefields started at the same time. In order to coordinate Li Kaiye and Yang Zongli, Lu Guangxuan personally arrived in Omsk as the commander-in-chief, while Duan Qirui continued to serve as the commander-in-chief in North Korea.
I said that this nation is still very special, tenacious and bold, and unscrupulous to win. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing.
History has proved this.
During this period, there is no need to fight at all, but they are still insisting.
Chinese people sometimes don't talk much about practical interests. They are not only poor, the domestic market is not big, and there are no mineral resources. Even if they are all occupied, there is no benefit, but the Chinese just want to fight it.
Because it is too arrogant, the Sino-Japanese War and the Far East War were triggered by it.
In the words of the Chinese, it is a beating.
However, the Korean battlefield is really not easy to fight. The south is full of mountains, which is also a barrier for the Japanese army to try to strive for the best peace terms with China.
Duan Qirui is very shrewd. He knows that he has been practicing while fighting for two years. The current Jianghuai Corps is similar to that of the Japanese army in terms of average combat quality, with better equipment and more artillery troops. The problem is that it is difficult to launch large-scale operations in the southern battlefield of North Korea.
If others defend, he will attack... He won't eat this loss.
He played Yin, and the leading troops hit Shangzhou. The first round of shelling all hit Japanese leaflets, persuading the soldiers to surrender. China is a country of etiquette and preferential treatment for prisoners. It is said that they are all Asian countries and yellow people. They should be consistent with the outside world. He promised that China will not attack Japan's mainland and will not occupy Japan's territory...!
After the leaflets were distributed, a large-scale bombardment began.
However, Duan Qirui has used two armored divisions to land in Pohang Port through the cooperation of the navy, repair the road, and directly rushed to Daegu. His main force directly bypassed Yuanshan Port, missed Zhongzhou through large-scale maritime deployment, and cooperated with the armored division to attack Daegu.
From Daegu to Pohang, there happens to be a flat road, which is also a miracle in the mountains of southern North Korea.
In fact, there are two roads, one road from Yongchuan and another road from Qingzhou.
The Japanese army is closely fortified on both roads, but it is easier to attack here than to attack the mountains. The armored division broke through from Yongchuan, and the infantry followed, built the road while fighting, and used auxiliary vehicles to maintain supplies.
On September 27, Duan Qirui captured Daegu, mobilized local workers to build roads, and repaired roads from Daegu to Gumi, and roads centered on Gyeongju to Busan, Daegu, Pohang and Ulsan.
He is not in a hurry to fight. After the road is repaired, he will fight again.
A good general can go to war, and you don't need to fight.
Duan Qirui's idea is very good. Although it is different from Hu Chuyuan's idea, Hu Chuyuan supports him unconditionally.
There are two more ways to go from Guiwei to Shangzhou, which is defended by the Japanese army. You can say that it is a road, or a small-scale plain and hilly area between the mountains, enough for armored divisions to rush over.
The domestic production of armored vehicles must be up. Since Duan Qirui played like this, Hu Chuyuan continued to increase his plan to equip the Jianghuai Corps with two new armored divisions.
Considering the situation of North Korea, this batch of new armored vehicles have begun to use TZB-4. The defense strength of the armor has been slightly reduced, the chassis has been increased, the power has been increased, and the engine supercharging technology has been adopted, which is the so-called mountain armored vehicles.
In the northwest battlefield, Lu Guangchun's battle was much easier, advancing along the Far East Railway. There were 2,455 armored vehicles there, and 370 TZA-1 main armored vehicles alone.
Unless it is a swamp in the cold zone, Russia basically has no way to stop this steel torrent.
Russia now has a shoulder-mounted 75mm grenade launcher, which is basically the prototype of a single-armed anti-tank gun, which is still a great threat to the TZB series of armored vehicles.
However, the gap between the Chinese and Russian armies is no longer so little bit.
Especially in the large-scale defeat in the early stage, the Russian army's heavy fire equipment, guns and ammunition stocks were completely insufficient, and even the number of officers was insufficient. In the large-scale regimental operations, the Russian army suffered a great loss.
Now, it's the Russians' turn to expect winter to come as soon as possible.
The war has been going on, and no one knows what the result will be.
On November 4, 1902, Duan Qirui finally advanced the armored division to Shangzhou, the last garrison area of the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula. On November 11, the 7-day battle of Shangzhou ended. Six first-class divisions and four second-class divisions of the Japanese army were annihilated, and more than 117,000 people surrendered.
On November 13, 1902, Emperor Meiji announced his defeat and accepted China's proposal of the China-Japan Armistice Treaty. With national tariffs, railways and shipping rights as collateral, he compensated China for 95 million pounds of military expenses, paid in installments for 15 years, ceded Tsushima Island to the Kingdom of Korea, and ceded the five islands and hidden islands. Ki Islands, Black Island, Guohou Island, Sedan Island, Tooth Dance Islands, Sawao Island, Shou Island, Bird Island, Iwo Jima Islands, and Seed Island to China.
Nagasaki leased China for 100 years, and the international concession zone was established by Magang, Kobe, Nagoya, Osaka, Tokyo and Yokohama, with China, Britain, the United States and the United States.
Within 25 years of the validity of the Tianjin Treaty, Japan shall not form an alliance with any country and abolish the current service system. The army shall not exceed 200,000 troops, the total tonnage of the navy shall not exceed 100,000 tons, and shall not be equipped with warships and submarines above 10,000 tons.
China set up a military court in Nagasaki to try military war criminals and punish the consortium that dominates the domestic invasion of China.
The Japanese economy, including the financial industry, is fully open to the four countries of China, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and has the first most-favoured-nation treatment for China. The Japanese economy is no longer exercising the central banking system, authorizing Chinese banks and other foreign banks to perform currency issuance rights, and the statutory bank guarantees the issuance of domestic bonds and their issuance by the Japanese bank, which is valid for 25. Year.
Regarding the issue of the use of chemical weapons in the war, China continues to retain the right to civil litigation. It is said that the government axe will pay long-term compensation for the residual chemical weapons trauma of Chinese soldiers, and the funds for the removal of chemical weapons and landmine residues in the Ryukyu Islands and North Korea shall be borne by the original government axe.
The signing of the Treaty of Tianjin officially announced that Japan had once again become a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country.
This is really a leap back to the pre-liberation period.
After the restoration of peace on the Korean Peninsula, China and North Korea signed a new "China-North Korea Territorial Division Treaty" and the China-North Korea Protection and Trade Treaty at the same time. The two sides no longer divide the Tumen River as the northern border, but the Ming and Qing Dynasties divide the Yalu River and the Baitou Mountains as the dividing line.
According to the new protection and trade treaty, China made a concession. Within the permission of the treaty, North Korea has a certain degree of diplomatic autonomy in exchange for the island of Malaysia, and China exchanged Yuling Island for China's territory.
China has the right to make full investment within North Korea. The Central Bank of North Korea must be supervised by the United Bank of Asia. Similarly, North Korean citizens can also invest in China's free investment area.
At this time, China's free investment area developed from 14 industrial cities in the early days and expanded to 27 provinces along the coast.
Correspondingly, this treaty is still very equal in terms of trade terms. As for the ability of North Korean citizens to invest in China, it is their own problem.
For China, the former North Hamgyong Province in the western part of the Changbai Mountains is still very valuable. Especially after the Tumen River was set up as the Neijiang River, China's control of the Benhai area has greatly increased.
In particular, it got the Oki Islands and Yuling Island, which China got the ownership of most of the sea areas of the Japanese Sea in terms of sea power.
There is no clear conclusion in the international world. Once the conclusion is formed, it will be really interesting.
After the signing of the Sino-Tianjin Treaty, the entire Allied system completely collapsed, coupled with the 57 million pounds of compensation from the Netherlands and Spain, China has greatly improved on the issue of military spending.
Now, China has begun to concentrate all its efforts on dealing with Russia.
Russia can't stand it anymore. It's a mess at home and abroad.
The problem is that although Britain, Germany and the United States want China to weaken Russia, they do not want China to expand on a large scale. The benefits China have previously obtained from France, Japan, Spain and the Netherlands are acceptable, and it is also acceptable to get the Far East and Kazakh Central Asia. If you really want to do as China said, you want to use the Ural Mountains with Russia. The pulse is the dividing line, which is really unacceptable.
Britain, Germany and the United States actively intervened and mediated. They did not have enough conditions to restrict China. Times are different, let alone send warships to China's waters to force peace.
The three countries have great interests in China and the colonies of China, coupled with French economic guarantees and other issues, which determines that they cannot be too tough.
Under the circumstance that the initiative is completely in the hands of China, the British, German and the United States can basically try their best to convince China through diplomatic channels and through the good traditional cooperative relations between the three countries and China, especially by taking advantage of the relationship with Hu Chuyuan. Some veteran diplomats have come out one after another and gathered in Yanjing.
Hu Chuyuan put his figure very low. When every old friend visited, he would receive him in person and talk carefully, but he insisted on one principle... Russia must make major concessions to impose larger-scale restrictions and economic controls on Russia.
While talking, he continued to increase his efforts to dispatch the army and distribute supplies to prepare for further comprehensive attacks.
At this time, Li Kaiye had advanced to Qiu Ming and was attacking Yekaterinburg on the periphery. Yang Zongli led the Zhili Corps to seize a gap to tear the southern defense line and capture Chelyabinsk.
