Chapter 1090: The tsarist government engaged in infighting

In St. Petersburg, the news that the Japanese government suddenly announced the severance of diplomatic relations came, and the tsarist government was all dumbfounded.
No matter why you dare, things happened anyway. Apart from being angry, the tsarist government can only face reality.
Just when the czarist government came out of its coercive state and clamored to give the Japanese some color, something that the czarist government could not bear even more happened.
On February 8, 1904, the Japanese launched an undeclared war and launched an offensive against the Russian troops in the Far East.
Well, the Japanese government helped the Tsarist government to make a choice. At this point, there is nothing to argue about. You can only fight whether you like it or not.
Of course, a temporary strategic contraction to abandon the Far East and wait for the opening of the Siberian Railway before liquidating it with the Japanese may be a more rational choice, but the Tsarist government cannot.
No major country can tolerate the loss of its territory without declaring war. If the Tsarist government really chooses to forbear, it is estimated that the people in the country will rebel.
The arrogance of the fighting nation is not covered, it can tolerate everything, but it cannot tolerate the tsarist government.
From this point of view, Yuan Shikong's buckling of the pot of the Russo-Japanese War on Nicholas II was purely wronging.
The Japanese have all hit, so the Czarist government can't just fight back, right?
Of course, Nicholas II was not without responsibility. The biggest problem lies in the mistakes in strategic judgment. It is wishful thinking that the Japanese dare not launch an offensive and have not prepared for war in advance.
The current situation is similar to that in history. Although the butterfly effect has a large impact, it still failed to change the subjective judgment of the tsarist government.
Had it not been for the battle report from the front line, the tsarist government would not believe that the Japanese would dare to fight undeclared war against the Russian Empire.
It can only be said that the Japanese government chose the wrong time to attack. If the attack is launched on April Fool's Day or the day before, the Tsarist government will most likely dismiss the battle reports from the front.
...
It turns out that after being an emperor for a few years, Nicholas II's qi training has improved a lot, and he can barely restrain his emotions.
"The war broke out, what plan does the government have?"
Anyone who knows Nicholas II knows that the calmer the situation, the more angry the czar.
Although this misjudgment of the strategy was made by everyone, the government must take the initiative to recite it.
Prime Minister Sergey Witt stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, with the power of the empire in the Far East, it is difficult to defeat the Japanese. In the short term, we can only take a defensive position.
The most urgent task at the moment is to concentrate our forces and stick to a few strategic points. After the Siberian Railway is opened to traffic, large troops will be sent for reinforcement.
The next step is to win the support of the Vienna government. Although there is a Russian-Austrian alliance, it is only signed with Austria and does not represent the Holy Roman Empire.
In the style of Emperor Franz, there will definitely be support, but the specific strength depends on our next diplomatic means.
However, the Japanese undeclared war this time not only violated international practice, but also provoked the Vienna system. It is estimated that the Vienna government is also very dissatisfied with the Japanese.
If we can get the full support of the Vienna government, then it will be much easier to win the support of the international community.
In any case, we are also European countries after all, and no European country wants to see Europe lose to the indigenous Japanese.
The previous Philippine war is an example. For the face of the white world, innately European countries should be more inclined to us.
If possible, it is best to pull Spain. Less than ten years have passed since the Philippine War. If given the opportunity, the Spaniards would never mind beating a dog in the water.
With the help of Spain, the landing problem is no longer difficult. It is not difficult to defeat the Japanese navy if Shinra holds the British, the Imperial Navy and the Spanish Navy join forces. "
There is nothing wrong on the whole, but loopholes are everywhere in the details.
Sticking to strategic points is easier said than done. If you really do it, you will have to face more problems.
The first problem we face is "materials." Although the Russian army hoarded some supplies in the Far East, it was obviously not enough to support the opening of the Siberian Railway.
In the original time and space, many keyboard heroes sprayed the Russian army's command errors, but they did not know that many "errors" had to be done.
No matter how big the strategy is, the stomach is not important. The first thing the commander has to do is not to win the war, but to find a way to fill the stomach of the soldiers and satisfy the supply of strategic materials.
When the forces are dispersed, they can also supply part of the supplies on the spot. Once the forces are concentrated, the logistics will be tested.
It is even more mysterious to win the support of the international community. Spain is Spain and Russia is Russia. In the European world, these are two completely different concepts.
The European world does not want to see the whites lose to the natives, but this is just a private idea and represents the position of governments.
The governments of various countries were willing to support Spain at first because the declining Spain did not threaten everyone, and because Shinra took the lead in seeking the Japanese, everyone was naturally happy to be a favor.
It is different if it is replaced by the Russian Empire. Even Shenluo is three points jealous of Russia, not to mention the rest of the country.
It is useless to put the banner of "Europe" on it. The debate about whether the Russian Empire is a European country or an Asian country has not been understood by later generations, let alone now.
Coupled with the previous domineering style of the tsarist government, it has offended many people. There are definitely more people who want to see the defeat of the Russian Empire than those who want them to win.
In this context, everyone is already saving face if they don't fall into trouble from behind, and they want to support dreaming!
If it weren't for the actions of the Japanese government, it would be equally annoying. It is estimated that public opinion would have been one-sided. This situation cannot be reversed by individual strength.
The only feasible option is probably to win over Spain, but unfortunately the tsarist government chose the wrong time.
If during the Philippine War, the Spanish government would definitely form an alliance with them, so forget it now!
There are a lot of internal conflicts in the family, which has made the Spanish government exhausted. Who can take revenge on the Japanese?
Of course, there is no actual retaliation, and there is no problem in providing spiritual support.
It is estimated that without wooing, the Spanish government will spontaneously help wave the flag and shout, but it is only limited to waving the flag and shouting.
Sergey Witt, as the prime minister, will naturally not fail to see these problems, even if he did not notice them for a while, the think tank will remind them.
Now I understand that there is a reason for pretending to be confused. Not being able to destroy one's prestige is one aspect, and more importantly, political needs.
Someone is responsible for strategic misjudgments. As the prime minister, he must be responsible. If you don't want to get out of the way, you must find a way to remedy it.
The key to determining the outcome of the war is strength. There is no way to reverse the power comparison in the Far East, and naturally it will not turn around.
But the czar had already asked, and Sergey Witt could not be regarded as not having heard, let alone that there was no way.
Politics must be dealt with first. As for how to fight on the battlefield next, it is a matter for the military, and as the prime minister is responsible for logistics.
Mikhailovich's expression became tense as soon as the voice fell. I don’t know if the military can complete the plan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot complete it anyway.
Mikhailovich couldn't care about giving face to the Prime Minister, and immediately retorted: "Prime Minister, don't forget that there are British people.
We have the Russian-Austrian alliance, and the Japanese have the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Whether you want to admit it or not, the British are the most powerful in the Far East.
Including this war, most of them were planned by the British. Without their backing, the Japanese government would have no guts to go to war with us.
What we have to do now is not only to fight with the Japanese government, but also to fight with the British.
It is impossible for us to get the support of the international community if the British make trouble. European countries will not stand in line easily.
What the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can really win is the Holy Roman Empire and Spain. With the British holding back, it is difficult for the two countries to provide us with substantial help in the Far East. "
There is no way, the British Empire this year is just so awesome. Even the strong rise of the Holy Roman Empire still cannot conceal the strength of Britain.
What's more, the Far East was originally dominated by the British, and the Shenluo was all involved in the later period, and the local influence is far less than the British.
If it weren't for the prestige of defeating France, it would be considered a second-rate country. At present, the conflict between Shenluo and Britain, in addition to the interests, also has the dispute of "name".
Individuals can ignore fame and fortune, but countries can't. Without the prestigious name as a deterrent, it is inconvenient to do anything.
Secretary of the Army Yevgeny: "Not only are there diplomatic problems, but military difficulties are also numerous. Our forces in the Far East are limited, and the Japanese can mobilize several times their strength to participate in the war.
Strategic contraction was originally the best choice, but the empire was not prepared for war, and the stock of materials in various places was limited.
In order to guarantee the logistics, we can only divide our troops and garrison to resist, and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements.
From a military point of view, no matter what it is doing now is less important than opening the Siberian Railway to traffic.
I propose that from now on, construction of the Siberian Railway will be carried out day and night, and strive to open to traffic in the shortest possible time.
The second is to immediately organize a material procurement team to go to Europe to purchase strategic materials, and the Japanese will be the first to get it late. "
Falling into trouble, maybe!
However, politics has always meant to die, but not to die, and strategic misjudgments always have to be held accountable. If the prime minister does not hold back the pot, everyone will have to back the pot.
Taking responsibility does not mean that you will leave immediately. When you leave your post, you still have to look at the battlefield. If the frontline wins, everyone can also be happy.
The original space-time Sergey Witt was forced to resign a year later because of the responsibility and the continuous defeat of the Russian army on the front line in order to give the country an explanation.
As for the anti-war and conflicts with the tsarist politics on the Internet, it is completely nonsense, and it is estimated that it is not even an inducement.
The Russo-Japanese War was the first hand of the Japanese. The Tsarist government only responded passively and had no choice at all. The anti-war can never let the front lines be beaten without fighting back, right?
Political discord is even more nonsense. From the time when Nicholas II took the throne, Sergey Witt was a heavy minister of the Tsarist government, and he was promoted to prime minister for more than ten years.
If there is really political disagreement, there will be no such drama at all. In the style of Nicholas II, people who didn't like it usually kicked away.
If there is a choice, Yevgeny doesn't want to fall into trouble. But there is no way, continue to muddle, and it will be his turn to be unlucky before long.
War is not a trifling matter. No one knows what is going on on the front line better than the Secretary of the Army.
If you don't get vaccinations in advance, how will the subsequent series of defeats come to an end?
Just look at the wording and you will know that "divide troops and garrison," "resistance steadily," and "buy time." It is clear that everyone is prepared to accept the "front-line defeat."
After the turn of the Siberian Railway, it was said that after the opening of the Siberian Railway, who made this railway start later than the original time and space?
Even if you don't take the lives of French laborers seriously, there is no way to grab the railway all at once!
The situation has collapsed, and the people below are still fighting for power and shirking responsibilities. Even if Nicholas II's energy training has improved, that can't help it.
He slapped the table sharply, and said angrily: "When the time comes, you don't want to solve the problem one by one, but are arguing here, don't forget your identity!"
This is a problem that every monarch must face. The people below are harmonious, and we must worry about their collusion; the people below are constantly fighting, which will affect the efficiency of political governance.
In a sense, this is also the contradiction of the monarch.
In normal times, everyone likes to play with checks and balances of power, allowing the people below to fight with each other; at a critical moment, we hope that the people below will unite.
There is no doubt that there is no bureaucracy that meets both requirements. Most people are selfish, and bureaucrats are no exception. Everyone must first consider themselves.
Don't think that they really like political struggles, more often there is still no way. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are bureaucrats, there are factions.
Even if he wanted to stop, the people below would not agree. Most of the time, taking a political step back is not a broad ocean, but an abyss.
For example, now, if the positions of the ministers are unified, Nicholas II may be happy on the surface, but he will definitely not sleep at night.
As for solving the problem?
In fact, various departments have already started actions. The Ministry of Finance is thinking of ways to raise money, the Ministry of War is dispatching troops, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working hard like a swarm of bees.
Action belongs to action, but most of these actions are carried out passively. No one can expect that in just a few hours, everyone will come up with a perfect plan.
If Nicholas II held a meeting later, things would definitely be much better. No matter how bad it is, it will not be a pile of unnutritious clichés.
...
In the Far East, as the initiator of this war, Japan has shown unprecedented enthusiasm. As soon as the Japanese government issued a recruitment order, a wave of military participation broke out.
People in Tokyo, in particular, may have been stimulated by the previous embassy case, and they are now extremely enthusiastic.
Whether it's government agencies, schools, shops, factories, all the propaganda slogans "Shame" are hung up at this moment.
The felons sentenced to death in the embassy case have been invited to shrines as heroes at this moment, and various folk ritual activities are endless.
If it hadn't been for the face of the ministerial mission, it is estimated that the Japanese government would have personally gone to sacrifice. In short, the results of the previous trial have now been overturned by the Japanese.
Even the Japanese students who are ready to take the Nanyang University entrance examination have now put down their books and devote themselves to this war that determines the fate of the nation.
Against the background of the whole people clamoring for revenge, a small number of rationalists simply cannot turn the waves.
"Anti-war" does not exist. Even members of the anti-war faction have shut their mouths obediently now, and at most they can think secretly when there is no one.
Even foreigners in Japan have been affected. As an ally of the Russians, the Shinra embassy in Tokyo has been very low-key recently.
From this perspective, the Russian embassy case is still valuable to Japan, at least it has hit the arrogance of the embassies of various countries.
As the saying goes, people who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. Today, Japan is the one who is barefoot. The national sentiment is mobilized to the extreme, and it will explode after a little stimulation.
But this kind of mental stimulation is obviously impossible to last. If the frontline forces continue to win, then this situation can continue for a long time.
On the contrary, once the frontline army suffered a major defeat. The fragile Japanese national spirit will immediately trigger an avalanche.
The gambling of national luck is not only about the army and colonies, but also about the national spirit.
Now Japan has once again embarked on the old path of the original time and space, losing everything Fangxiu; winning is the rebirth of the nation, the foundation of a great power, and the world has one more power.
