The History of the Chinese Eastern Railway

The russians asked to occupy the tip of the ladong peninsula. There they would build both a commercial port and a naval base. As diplomatic cover for all this vitta established the nominally independent chinese eastern railway, financed by the rusoe chinese bank. The official headquarters of the chinese eastern railroad were established in the manchurian of harben,. staffed entirely by russian managers. And of course, it goes without saying that along with all these russian managers and engineers and workers came russian soldiers to protect the worksites and russian property.
