Low-temperature resistant and high-standard materials are properly high-tech in this year, and few countries can produce them.
Regardless of the fact that the Russian Empire often regards itself as an industrial country, the family knows their own affairs. Even if you brag about it, you can't count on it at the critical moment.
Just look at the railway that I built a few years ago, and I know that it is repaired more than a dozen times a year, and the repair time is longer than the opening time.
After a comprehensive inspection, it was found that the rails were rusty, rusty, deformed and deformed, and that the sleepers were rotted. The most excessive thing was that there were sprouted.
I wanted to be held accountable, but the involvement was too wide and there were too many intercessions, and it was really impossible to investigate. In the end, there was no way, but the government had to pay the bill and unplug the railway and start over.
Experience and lessons must not be forgotten. In order to ensure the quality of the Siberian Railway, the Tsarist government has made a comprehensive approach early on, and domestically produced low-temperature materials cannot be used.
Even if the people are calling for support for domestic production, but there is no way, the tsarist government is afraid of domestic production.
Ordinary railways are nothing more than a loss of money. The quality of the strategic artery of the Siberian Railway still needs to be guaranteed.
Importing not only means an increase in costs, but also an increase in transportation pressure. It is common to stop work and wait for materials.
Think about it, even the logistics supplies on the battlefield can often be confused. Then it is not unacceptable to transport railway materials to the wrong place.
Problems in the management system, or problems in the bureaucratic system of the tsarist government, obviously cannot be solved by an administrative order.
The technical requirements are high, the management system is chaotic, and the bad weather, if the construction progress of the Siberian Railway can be fast, then it is really a problem.
The railway cannot be opened to traffic in advance, and the strategic materials on the front line must be met, which is almost an unsolvable problem.
Nicholas II's face was gloomy and terrible, and even the atmosphere in the room became tense.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Minister of Foreign Affairs Mikhailovich said: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already started operations, and the Vienna government has agreed to help.
We are currently working hard to do the work of the Far Eastern Empire. If we can buy materials from them, the situation will be much better.
Now that we have achieved certain results, with the efforts of diplomats, we have won the support of many Far Eastern empire officials, who can acquiesce in us to transport supplies. "
It is normal for the wooing to fail. The constitutional monarchy and conservatives of the Far Eastern Empire are fighting each other hard, and there is no effort to take part in the Russo-Japanese War.
It is useless to promise more benefits. A government that fears wolves and tigers before and after, neither Japan nor Russia dare to provoke them.
"Through the way to transport materials" is essentially "smuggling." This thing has been repeatedly banned in peaceful times, not to mention chaotic war years.
It is not so much a diplomatic effort as it is driven by interests. Just open one eye and close one eye, and there will be a large sum of silver in the account. Why should you refuse?
Anyway, it's not just Russian business, Japanese business is still done. As long as they are willing to give money, merchants don't mind who they sell to.
Even if the merchants of the Far Eastern Empire did not dare to blend in, there were international arms dealers rushing in. As long as you have enough money, you are not afraid of not being able to buy goods.
The only problem is that the supply of these guys is not sufficient, and the transportation is often attacked by Japanese hired bandits, which cannot meet the needs of war.
But Mikhailovich has confidence in international arms dealers. The current shortage of supplies is mainly because everyone did not anticipate the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, and the most powerful wave of arms dealers did not have time to participate.
If these arms dealers with a background background are involved, no matter how much supplies they can get, this is their real purpose for seeking help from the Vienna government.
In order to smuggle strategic materials on a large scale, in addition to the cooperation of the Far Eastern Empire, the background of foreign powers is also needed to deter the wolves and tigers.
Ordinary strategic materials are nothing more. They can be produced in the family workshops of the Far Eastern Empire, and they can always be bought as long as they have money. Troublesome weapons and ammunition.
Apart from other things, the Japanese navy is not easy to pass. In order to prevent arms from falling into the hands of the Russian army, the Japanese Navy acted as the East Asian police after the outbreak of the war.
Faced with the infringement of sovereignty, the weak Far Eastern imperial government chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb and let the Japanese Navy inspect foreign merchant ships.
Of course, the ships under inspection have no background, or the background is not strong enough. The Japanese still dare not act rashly with ships with a strong background in the ocean.
The tension between Britain and Shinra is true, but the two countries have not really fought after all. Who knows what will erupt, what if you sit down again?
Although the Japanese government chose to gamble on the national fortune, they are not ironic, and they know who they can’t mess with. In the face of these two giants, it is natural to pretend to be grandson.
The most important reason for the original smuggling trade in time and space failed to save the Russian Empire is the lack of support from major powers.
Britain, Germany, America, Austria and Italy all hope that the Russians will fail, and the only ally, the French, only verbally support them. In essence, they still want them to return to Europe to deal with the Germans.
Smuggling trade without the help of foreign powers will naturally fail to scale. In addition to purchasing food and some daily necessities, weapons and ammunition are still transported from the country.
Even these small-scale smuggling trades are an important support for the Russian military in the Far East.
Otherwise, the logistics of the hundreds of thousands of troops would all be transported from the country, not to mention that the Siberian Railway was not opened to traffic, even if it was opened to traffic, it would not be able to support it.
For no other reason, who made the Siberian Railway a single-track railway? The train has left, but it has to return the same way.
Hearing this explanation, Nicholas II's expression slowed down. But the sorrow between the eyebrows still persists.
In theory, with the help of the Holy Roman Empire and the cooperation of the Far Eastern Empire, the crisis can be overcome by smuggling.
But this is only in theory, not to mention the strength of Shinra's support, the cooperation of the Guangyuan Eastern Empire is a big problem.
In recent years, they have not done much harm to the other side. The hatred was formed before, and now I am counting on others to cooperate fully. Isn't that a joke?
There is no need for a big person to take action in person, the local snakes along the way make trouble, and there is enough for them to drink a pot.
Whether it's breaking the road with five broken bridges separated by three distances, or robbing the road by bandits and bandits, it is a hidden danger.
If the normal period is set aside, it goes without saying that someone will be able to directly exert diplomatic pressure on the Far Eastern Empire, but it is not working now.
At the critical moment when the Russo-Japanese War fell into anxiety, the Far Eastern Empire actually had the power to determine the outcome of the two sides.
If the excitement is accidentally overdone and people fall to the Japanese, then the Russian Empire can only bow its head and concede defeat and obediently withdraw from the Far East.
"Push as soon as possible! It is best to let the Vienna government come forward. They have a good relationship with the Far Eastern Empire, and it is easier to coordinate relations."
It is natural that Nicholas II is not clear about the relationship between Shenluo and the Far Eastern Empire. But one thing he knew was that there was no war between the two sides.
This is enough. As long as the powers do not invade you, it is a symbol of friendship.
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional. In the ears of Mikhailovich, this is the distrust of Nicholas II's ability of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Well, the capabilities of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs really cannot be regarded as "trust". In the past years, far more things have been messed up by them than done.
In order to change this situation, the Tsarist government also specially sent overseas students to Austria and Britain to learn professional diplomatic skills.
It cannot be said that there has been no progress, at least in terms of diplomatic etiquette, diplomatic unspoken rules, and common sense of international conventions, no more big jokes have been made.
As for the more important diplomatic ability, it still needs to wait for these people to grow up, and after the Russian Empire is in a high position, it can be truly seen.
