Currently the Honorable Emperor of Japan Taisho wishes to seize these grounds in hopes of remilitarizing Japan's navy. Should you accept. Japan shall pay $60000 in USD to the Russian government and control and annex the cities. Should you refuse. You shall face the Japanese military and a possible declaration of war.

I cannot promise that Japan shall not only seize these ports if war is unavoidable respond quickly please as the Emperor has limited patience.

The Russian government refuses to cede the port of Vladivostok to Japan, but instead offers the northern portion of the highly valuable island of Sakhalin, of which Japan already controls the south of. However, Russia will gladly cede Shanghai to Japan.

Russia would also like to take the time to remind Britain and France of prestanding military alliances signed in 1907 and 1884 respectively.

Another edit, Russia accepts the offer of alliance with Greece (SortaCultured) Expects that, any military excursions between the Russian Empire and, any aggressors will lead to, the support of the United Kingdom and, the dominions of the United Kingdom. Hesitates with accepting the Japanese treaty to the Western empires because, it seems the United Kingdom may have to honor the treat they have with the Russians as, it may seem that military interference will commence if, the provided claimed lands aren't provided from the Russian Empire to the Japanese. Though, a war between the Japanese and, Russians would lead to potential harm of the United Kingdom's lands in Asia such as, British Raj and, British Malaya. Supporting the prospect of war is, troops being reported on the Russian border. Has sent a telegram to the Russian Empire stating that, supplies will be sent to Russian troops if the Japanese annex Russian land also that, the United Kingdom would rather not be apart of any excursion but, instead simply support the Russians in a lend-lease act.
