Russo-Japanese War Wrong Lessons Learned

Explanation: The comparisons of the American Civil War to World War I are… overblown. Those two wars are not as similar as people on Reddit think. However, I do think the Russo-Japanese War was indeed quite similar to World War I, and that Germany learned the wrong lessons from it. Namely, instead of the horrors of modern warfare, Germany thought Russia couldn’t sustain a long war and became bolder against Russia.
Wasn’t the plan that Russia couldn’t possibly mobilise fast enough? Germans wanted to sweep the French then sweep Russians who couldn’t gather army in time. End everything very fast
rule 1: do not name any ship ever the kamchatka.
rule 2: bring plenty of binoculars
rule 3: no floating zoo
The right lesson was that you should attack Russia from the right, not the left.
Imagine learning from history and still failing the tutorial
Didn’t the Japanese have a solid plan for much of the war in that they were going to push for treaties and an end upon getting exactly what they wanted but before Russia could really mobilize to gut punch them proper? With part of the plan using personal connections with Theodore Roosevelt to have him act as negotiator/middleman in talks?
