On September 9, 1895, the representatives of the Qing and Japanese countries finally signed the "Qing-Japanese Los Angeles Treaty" in Los Angeles, USA. Historically, the Japanese government received 230 million taels of silver on paper alone, and if you count the interest and fire consumption paid over three years, this amount will be even more.

But in this plane, the Japanese received no more than 135 million taels of silver! This is still the figure that was caused by the release of water by Germany and France at a critical moment. According to the Russian meaning, a maximum of 100 million taels of heaven! And for Ruprecht, this is also a helpless thing, after all, the British took the central route, Krupp, Mauser and other arms dealers have obtained a lot of benefits, Ruprecht did not get a share, and the Japanese took some too much, so Ruprecht was very dissatisfied, and silently wrote an account for these guys in his heart!

The content of other treaties has also changed, most of the open treaty ports have given convenience to the Japanese, and the Qing State has also given convenience to Russia, Germany and France, but the only puzzling thing is that the Japanese emphasized the establishment of a concession in Kaohsiung. It has the right to moor warships and build ports. This was somewhat incomprehensible, but then after the British put forward the condition that Germany would enjoy privileges in the British part of the sphere of influence in China. The Germans expressed their willingness to accept the transfer of some benefits. And this made Ruprecht a little puzzled.

And this move of the Germans made the Russians a little dissatisfied, although Russia had already gained a lot of benefits in this Far Eastern War, but for the Russians who came out to mix up and take less even if they were compensated, they felt that Japan was not weakened enough! Unlike in history, the Russians noticed the horror of Japan too early. With the end of the war in the Far East, the Russians also began to intensify their own armament processes.

Later generations said rightly that peace is nothing but a gap between wars. As for the victory or defeat of this war in the future, everyone is not very optimistic about Japan, and those real powers are still easy to calculate the loss of Japan in this war, and then Japan's economic situation is not optimistic.

The war ended like this, and the sea in the Far East returned to calm, but the competition between the parties in the Far East continued, and the Japanese finally won the war, although the win was very tangled, and the actual benefits were not much, but in the end they won, almost the entire Japanese society was celebrating the victory, and they fantasized about how much impact so much silver would have after flowing into the Japanese market, and how much benefit Japan could gain after the Qing opened so many ports!

"This amount of money, except for the settlement of our arrears, is expected to have no more than 30 million taels of silver, that is, less than 5 million pounds." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said helplessly. "If the people of our country knew that we had paid such a big price in exchange for this little benefit, would they have used a knife to kill you and me?" After finishing speaking, Saionji Gongwang glanced at Ito Hirobumi.

"I know what you mean, but no matter how hard it is, our plan still has to go! As long as I'm alive! There is no possibility of termination of this plan! Hirobumi Ito's calm words reveal unshakable determination! This cannot be changed and must be executed.

"What if there is a financial turmoil? The financial markets have been a bit strange lately. "Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is bored with himself, but he doesn't insist on his opinion, and it is estimated that if he insists, the two will really become enemies.

"Then it will only depend on the British, but it will take time for the British to mobilize a large amount of money, and the real enemy may have already begun to move, and the losses are certain, but it is a matter of how much. As long as our plan succeeds, then this loss is nothing now. Hirobumi Ito said.

The Japanese finally felt the turmoil in the financial markets, but knowing that there was no way to solve it, and while the two sides were negotiating, there were significant fluctuations in the price of silver in Japan. The price of silver, which had been falling all the time, suddenly increased, and then reached the peak of history under the influence of all parties!

And this is just the beginning, the fluctuation of the price of silver will definitely affect other precious metals, and the movement of precious metals will naturally affect the currency. In this era when currencies and precious metals can be exchanged directly, when paper money changes, people will find ways to withdraw precious metals, and such a series of actions have led to serious turmoil in the Japanese financial market!

And during this time, Ruprecht and his partners made at least 4 million pounds in profits from the Japanese financial markets! The movement of a large amount of money is like a tsunami that has turned the entire Japanese financial market into a miasma, which has directly led to the bankruptcy of a large number of Japanese companies.

Although at the beginning, the financial predators of all parties were soaring, but with the intervention of British capital, some people who did not have time to run were bitten hard in the closing stage, and after watching the gradual return to normal financial markets after a period of shock adjustment, Ruprecht shook his head helplessly, and the game in the Far East was over for him for the time being. There's still a lot of work to do!

At the end of the negotiations, the Japanese master in Germany repeatedly proposed to Baron Vittorio the idea of buying new warships, but in the end there was no result, on the one hand, Ruprecht complied with the agreement between Russia, and on the other hand, the Brom-Forss shipyard had no spare production capacity, and if you count the slipways reserved for some of the warships that were about to be ready for production, the shipyard was now at full capacity, and in order to cope with this situation, Bavaria even organized a large number of laborers to go to Hamburg. Unless Ruprecht reaches out to other companies, there will not be much increase in production capacity in the short term.

One of the most important things for Ruprecht now is the future naval tender, the construction of which has already begun on two Brandenburg-class battleships, from which Ruprecht did not get a piece of the pie. But Ruprecht doesn't care, he cares about bigger orders! Because by this time, the new naval artillery had already been successfully studied! The Russians were quite trustworthy, and they provided samples and drawings of the 12-inch L40 naval gun and the 10-inch L40 naval gun in advance. And after a period of exploration and experimentation, the German imitation of these two guns has finally come out!

THE TRAGIC 280MM AND 210MM GUNS WILL FINALLY BE SWEPT INTO THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY BY RUPRECHT, AND THE HISTORY OF KRUPP'S MONOPOLY ON THE SUPPLY OF NAVAL ARMAMENTS WILL ALSO BE ENDED. After a while, Ruprecht will have to go to Berlin again to finalize the matter.
