Chapter 420: Japan that doesn't dare to decide
Liu Jun was indeed ruthless, according to Zhong Lin's final statistics, in the entire Liaodong, a total of 12,427 people were shot, 5,300 people were chopped, and more than 4,000 people were cut off their thighs.
Bang, Liu Jun, who shot Wu Ruiqin, returned to the office a little depressed, Wu Ruiqin had to kill, but what did Wu Xiaoyan say about his wife, the only cousin who killed his wife, he was indeed a little unhappy.
"Head, North Korea emergency telegram." Liu Jun, who hadn't fully figured out how to coax Wu Xiaoyan, was suddenly awakened by Zhong Lin's voice, raised his head slightly, and Liu Jun saw that Zhong Lin picked up a telegram in his hand and walked in, and next to him, Zheng Yiqian was holding up a plate, and on the plate, there was actually her favorite dim sum.
North Korea's telegram, could it be said that the Japanese started to think about it, thinking of this, Liu Jun suddenly took the telegram and read it.
It was actually Japan that transferred the newly formed 11th Brigade of the Second Army to Seoul.
Originally, after the 11th Brigade was destroyed by Liu Jun in Liaodong, Japan had to prepare an 11th Brigade, but perhaps Japan was estimated to be a little disgusted with the 11th Brigade, so a new word was added to distinguish it.
The 11th Brigade, which was originally stationed in Gongju, was now transferred to Seoul, and after seeing Nogi Nishinori, he already knew what was happening on the sea. Prepare in advance.
With a snap, Liu Jun gently placed the telegram on the table and began to walk back and forth in the heated room.
Seeing that Liu Jun didn't stop for a long time, Zhong Lin looked at Zheng Yiqian, who was also a little puzzled, nodded slightly, and came to Liu Jun's side: "Head, do you think it's a declaration of war against Japan?" ”
It seems that Japan is already aware of the Leofy Islands and is intensively deploying troops around Korea, and if I guess that there is no mistake, it means that Japan will soon declare war on itself.
"Head. Head,: Seeing that Liu Jun didn't pay attention, himself, Zhong Lin's volume increased again.
"Yes." Liu Jun, who was thinking, finally came to his senses: "What did you just say?" ”
"Head, do you think you want to declare war on Japan?" Zhong Lin asked again.
Declare war? Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin suspiciously, then quickly returned to his position, lowered his head and thought for a while: "No, this time I want Japan to declare war." ”
Japan declares war? Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian are not stupid, and they figured out in a few clicks that Liu Jun wanted to gain a foothold morally.
"What about North Korea?" Zhong Lin stretched out his head, he didn't know how to reply to Ding Ruchang with this telegram.
"Call Ding Ruchang back and pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army at any time." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he motioned for Zhong Lin to issue an order.
Looking at Zhong Lin's departing back, Zheng Yiqian on the side slowly walked to Liu Jun's side. Stretched out his hands and held the army to massage his shoulders, and asked lightly: "Since you have attacked the Japanese Combined Fleet, why don't you directly declare war, although waiting for Japan to declare war, we can stand on our feet morally, but at that time, Japan must have made all preparations, will it increase the difficulty of Ding Ruchang's attack or defense at that time?" ”
There are pros and cons, Zheng Yiqian thought more comprehensively and said the problems she would face in the future.
Liu Jun is also very clear about this question in his heart, in fact, it is not that he does not want to declare war, but now, the materials are not all ready.
As far as North Korea's current supplies are concerned, if there is no war, it can last for a month, and if the war starts, then the army will be mobilized and consumed faster, and at this time, the only thing they can do is to quickly mobilize military food from the Heilongjiang area and from the grain depot to North Korea.
"I see." After listening to Liu Jun's explanation, Zheng Yiqian nodded, turned around and walked out.
Tokyo, Japan, although it was cold and windy outside the Prime Minister's Office. The cold wind was miserable. But in the Prime Minister's Office, it is still warm, although this is the case, but now several people in the Prime Minister's Office do not seem to feel warm.
Cold, a chill that emanates from the heart, pervades the entire office.
In the office, Ito Hirobumi sat in his place with a blank face, while Inoue Xin on the side, and Ito Yuheng, who rushed back to Tokyo from Sasebo, now have a trace of melancholy on their faces, especially Ito Yuhiro, who still has a trace of anger on his face.
It's no wonder that Ito Yuheng is not angry, it's only been a few days, and his combined fleet has not yet started a war, so he asked the Beiyang Naval Division to sink three warships, which makes the soldiers who were already afraid of the Beiyang Naval Division even more confused now.
It's nothing, the problem is that he knows the parameters of the battleship Fuso, and at the beginning he analyzed it, from the start of the battle of the Beiyang Naval Division to the end of the battle, it took a maximum of three hours, and he couldn't figure out how the Beiyang Naval Division did it in three hours.
He couldn't explain it himself, so he came to Tokyo in person, hoping that Ito Hirobumi could give his own answer, but as soon as he arrived in Tokyo, he got the news that the prime minister was hesitant to declare war on Liaodong.
This made him very angry, Liu Jundu sank several of his warships, at this time, everyone was bullied to the doorstep, but what he got here was that the prime minister hesitated to declare war. It almost broke him.
So today, he came to Xingshi to ask for sin.
But now, his anger had subsided, not why. Rather, he knew Ito Hirobumi's concerns,
That is, from the Beiyang Naval Division's attack on the Combined Fleet to the convening of the meeting, basically seven days have passed, and Liaodong has not declared war, and Ito Hirobumi is worried that there is a conspiracy.
He was scared of Liu Jun, for so many years, how many opponents have failed in his own hands, but now, for Liu Jun, he really feels that he can't grasp a little clue, this Liu Jun, never plays cards according to normal rules, God knows, what conspiracy will he have if he does this.
"Your Excellency, now that we and Liu Jun are already in this situation, if we don't say something, don't talk about foreign countries, I'm afraid that the country will be dissatisfied with the prime minister at that time." Seeing that Ito Hirobumi was dead and alive, Ito Yuhiro stood up, walked up to Ito Hirobumi and whispered.
Hizzi Ito Hirofumi raised his head suddenly and gasped, he had been worried about Liu Jun's conspiracy to delay the Japanese declaration of war, but he did not take into account the situation in Japan.
Now, in Japan, it is already known from the information released by the Japanese government that the Beiyang Naval Division has attacked the Combined Fleet in the Liefei Islands.
Perhaps this announcement, internationally, does not have much international trust, but at home, Baixin is still convinced of the government.
In the past few days, large-scale demonstrations have broken out in various places, hoping that the government will declare war on Liaodong, and if they do not declare war for a long time, then the people in the country will inevitably point the finger at themselves, and by that time. Don't say that you will go down in history, I am afraid that you will become the first prime minister to be ousted.
He suddenly remembered the scene of rebellion against him a few years ago, after the defeat of the Qing War, he could only stay at home during that time. I didn't even dare to go out of the door. That feeling.
There was a thud, and Ito swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Cold sweat also began to appear on the face.
"Inoue-kun, what do you mean?" Hirofumi Ito, who had been pondering for a long time, hoped to get some good advice from Inoue Shin.
This, Inoue Xin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and stood up: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, one glory and one loss, I agree with the suggestion of His Excellency the Commander, and I can't hesitate." ”
This, Ito Hirobumi looked at Inoue Shin, and then at the hot eyeballs of Ito Yuhiro next to him, and his heart was excited, he stood up all of a sudden, looking at the cold wind outside the window, for a while, he figured out something, and suddenly turned around.
"I'll go to the emperor immediately." With that, he turned around and picked up the top hat from the side, put it on his head, turned around and walked out.
