Parker and the Shadows of Yesterday Chapter 90

On October 28, 1912, the fourth year of the Republic of China, the gunfire in the north that had lasted for more than a month finally stopped.

At this time, the army of the six northern provinces had actually controlled the section from Kaiyuan to Dashiqiao on the South Manchuria Railway, and the section from Guanbei to Lianshanguan on the Anfeng-Feng Railway. Almost all the transportation lines used by Japan to plunder resources from northern China had been cut off, and with the addition of military expenditures Expenditure, it is foreseeable that when the Ministry of Finance submits relevant documents, the expression on the face of Prime Minister Katsura Taro will be wonderful.

It was the financial constraints that forced Japan to give in and ask Britain for mediation.

From the Sino-Japanese War to the Russo-Japanese War, Japan has been playing the myth of "the weak defeating the strong". They are like a gambler, using all their wealth to make a big bet. I don't know what good luck they had, they won the bet again and again. The reparations from the Sino-Japanese War made Japan truly rich for the first time. After the Russo-Japanese War, they snatched the South Manchuria Railway from the Russians and continued to grab resources from Northeast China to strengthen themselves.

As an island country with poor resources, Japan would not have been able to survive the period after the Russo-Japanese War without China's iron, coal, timber and food.
