When the First Northeast War broke out, the Tsarist Russian Empire was not without its internal contradictions. The Russian ruling group headed by Tsar Nicholas III was not monolithic on the issue of the Northeast region. In fact, there were two types of conflicts.
They have different opinions, but when it comes to competing for territory, they are on the same page as other major powers.
The Tsarist government's aggressive expansion policy towards the Far East had many loyal executors and participants. The main divisions of the Tsarist Russian Empire were in terms of its strategy towards the Far East. One group was more in favor of forming an alliance with the Far East Group and strengthening the expansion of the Tsarist Russian Empire in Europe, while
The other group saw the future status of the Far East in the world. If they sent out all-out troops to control the Northeast as soon as possible, it would only be difficult to fight for it in the future, so they suggested that Nicholas III immediately launch a war against the Far East.
This will not only establish Tsarist Russia's rights in the Northeast, but also weaken the Far East and allow the Far East to make certain concessions. It will also strengthen the economic plunder of the late Qing Dynasty. When the Trans-Siberian Railway is fully opened to traffic, transportation capacity will be qualitatively improved. On the basis of
Establish fortifications in the Lushun area and its periphery of North Korea and the Northeast, and then wait for opportunities for a decisive battle with the Far East.
But the sentence that moved Nicholas III the most was that the Russian Empire desperately needed a victorious war to suppress the raging revolution in the country!
A group of imperialist adventurers completely underestimated the military power of the Far East. They believed that the Far East was just a place called North Korea, which was vulnerable at sea and could be overwhelmed by just throwing a hat. They did not hesitate to resort to force. In the end, not only did they not succeed,
It also laid the groundwork for the disintegration of the Tsarist Empire. With the relationship between Tsarist Russia and the Far East, and driven by hardliners who advocated fighting against the Far East, the revolutionary climax in Tsarist Russia was getting closer.
However, as the supreme ruler of power, Tsar Nicholas III was also the culprit of the Northeast War. In terms of the timing of launching the war, he was directly above the two factions, although he knew that Tsarist Russia was not well prepared at that time, and each faction
Everyone hopes to postpone the Northeast War, but he believes that the best way to postpone the Northeast War is to adopt a tough policy, because concessions will always lead to new concessions.
In this way, he supported the first Northeastern War with practical actions, and set off the last cry before the war throughout the Tsarist Russian Empire, calling on the Russian people not to be afraid of bloodshed or sacrifice, to defend the territory of the motherland, and to create an atmosphere of a great war. In fact,
The preparations for the Northeast War were progressing very slowly. When the Northeast War broke out and artillery shells were most needed on the front lines of the Tsarist Empire, each grassroots unit could only receive one truckload of statues.
However, the Far East Army, with its unprecedented rapid-fire firepower and under the personal leadership of Pend, brought fatal baptisms to the Tsarist Russian Army. Then there were the internal conflicts and chaos among the Tsarist Russian Army commanders and command systems at that time, and
The intervention of relatives of the Tsarist Emperor ultimately determined the inevitable defeat of the Tsarist Russian Army in the Northeastern battlefield.
On the other hand, the Far East Group, under the leadership of Li Ningyu, began to make adequate preparations for this war a few years ago. Although the Far East Group's overall financial resources cannot be compared with the Tsarist Empire, it still holds on to every day of delay.
, even an hour would increase the possibility of Tsarist Russia winning, so after forming an alliance with Germany, the Far East began to launch a comprehensive offensive against the coalition forces of various countries and Tsarist Russia, directly skipping the negotiation process.
Although it avoided the important steps that the Tsarist government might take to play diplomacy and bought favorable time for the war, the most important thing is that the Far East Group is very determined to use the aggressive tactics of a single blow in the past few years to recuperate.
The international situation at that time and the fatal weakness of Tsarist Russia's lack of preparation led to an undeclared war. Since then, many battles between the two Asian blocs of the Far East and Tsarist Russia broke out. It was also the first time that the Far East fully prepared for a long-term defense war against imperialist plunder.
However, the Northeastern War was mainly fought in the Northeastern territory of the late Qing Dynasty. However, the already extremely corrupt late Qing government ignored the sovereignty of the country and the lives and property of the people. It shamelessly announced that the late Qing government would remain outside the Northeastern War and maintain absolute neutrality.
The entire Northeast region was designated as a war zone, and local military and political officials and the people in the Northeast region in the late Qing Dynasty were strictly ordered to take precautions.
However, after receiving such a diplomatic note, Li Ningyu slammed the table and scolded her on the spot, so the Qing government issued another diplomatic note late the next day, announcing that the late Qing government would declare full-scale war on Tsarist Russia in the Far East. However, it had already suffered from foreign enemies.
The people of the ravaged Northeast region had completely lost confidence in the incompetence of the late Qing government, and spontaneously and unconditionally helped the Far East to launch a national struggle against aggression against Tsarist Russia, and allowed the imperialist robbers of Tsarist Russia to fight in the First Northeast War.
Caused huge damage.
It fully demonstrated the great Chinese nation's spirit of not being afraid of qiangbao, daring to fight, fighting tenaciously, and defending its homeland to the death. At the same time, after the outbreak of the Northeast War, because of Germany's participation and the Far East's direct war against Tsarist Russia, the United Kingdom adopted neutrality.
Continue to pursue a diversified foreign policy in an attempt to reap the benefits of others.
When Britain received news that the Russian Asiatic Fleet had been destroyed in the Yellow Sea, it immediately mobilized three Pacific squadrons to assemble in the Yellow Sea. Germany also offered to refuel British ships, but the United States took an active offensive. In this way, in the Far East
Three major groups were formed on regional issues: one was the Anti-Japanese War Alliance between the Far East and Germany, the other was the Neutral Alliance of Britain, Austria-Hungary, Portugal and other countries, and the third was the Russo-French Main War Alliance.
In response to the Far East's offensive in the Far East, Germany also raised troops across Europe against France and ordered all military forces in the Far East to unconditionally support the Far East. In this way, the conditions for the Northeast War between the Far East and Tsarist Russia have been formed. At the same time, the Far East Yellow Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet have already
After the full-scale landing in Vietnam, the war between the Far East and France in the South China Sea was also formed at the same time. However, there was still a wavering Japan-US alliance. However, without the persistence of the United Kingdom, the Japan-US alliance seemed a bit unbearable.
However, just when countries were just beginning to analyze the direction of the situation, the Far East had already achieved a series of victories. In particular, the Far East annihilated the Tsarist Russian Asiatic Fleet in the Yellow Sea, repelled the Tsarist Russian Northern Fleet in the Korean Strait, and directly captured the Port Arthur area, directly
Controlling the actual control of the Yellow Sea area and the Korean Strait, and shelling Japan for three hours a day, panicked people in Japan.
The Far East then directly dispatched marines, which only landed on the west coast of Japan Island and extended into Japan. They successfully held back and diverted part of the U.S. Navy's forces, focusing the Far East's attention on the upcoming main battlefields in the Northeast and South China Sea, and continued to send troops to Tsarist Russia.
The naval base in the Vladivostok area dispatched a large number of intelligence personnel to carry out auxiliary operations for the Northeast War.
