Thinking of the armistice agreement with Japan, Liu Jun, who was sitting on a chair, unconsciously looked at the calendar placed on the table, the time was clearly displayed, the current time was May 21, and after looking down and thinking for a while, Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian, who was standing next to him: "When did we sign the agreement with the Japanese."

When? Zheng Yiqian lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "February 28th, anyway, it's at the end of the month." Zheng Yiqian didn't dare to specify the date, but after saying this, he immediately returned to his position, and then began to flip through the documents on it, and a few minutes later, Zheng Yiqian walked to Liu Jun's side again: "Yes, it's the twenty-eighth." ”

On the 28th, it means that after waiting for a week, the war agreement between himself and Japan will be completely concluded, that is, the armistice period will expire.

Zheng Yiqian probably saw the meaning of Liu Jun's question, stepped forward and said, "There are still a few days left, do you want to resume the war against Japan."

Certainly, the reason why the Japanese army retreated from Seoul this time and did not attack was entirely because of the constraints of this matter, and Feng Guozhang in Shuangchengzi and Duan Qirui in Boli did not attack to the north and cut off the return route of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, which was also because of this.

War against Japan and occupation of Japan, this is an unavoidable problem, and it is also a problem that absolutely no one is allowed to jump out to block it, and now, now that the deadline has arrived, Liu Jun, who thought of this, looked at Zheng Yiqian: "Go and summon Zhong Lin to me immediately." ”

Zheng Yiqian knew that Liu Jun wanted Zhong Lin to discuss the matter, so without saying a word, she turned around and walked out, and a few minutes later, Zhong Lin followed Zheng Yiqian to Liu Jun's office.

"Head, you're looking for me." has already handed over the pursuit of **** to Zheng Mei, Zhong Lin will not ask, so he wholeheartedly changes his work in a different direction.

"The armistice agreement with Japan is coming to an end. It's time for your intelligence bureau to get on the table, are you all set? As soon as he heard this, Zhong Lin knew what Liu Jun meant.

In terms of the Intelligence Bureau, that is to say, from now on, the focus of the work of the Intelligence Bureau will be shifted to the collection of intelligence on Japan, and the most important areas are the Japanese station, the Tsarist Far East station, the Korean station, and the British station.

The reason why the British station is important is that Zhong Lin knows that Britain has been unclear about its relationship with Japan over the years, and although Germany and Tsarist Russia have now joined the war against Japan, it is better to be cautious on this issue.

"Don't worry, I will immediately give an order when I go back, so that the focus of work on all lines will be fully shifted." Zhong Lin nodded and said.

Well, the intelligence bureau is his own eyes, and the army is his right and left hands, and these two operations, Liu Jun will not worry.

"Did Li He come back from Weihai?" After getting Zhong Lin's accurate answer, Liu Jun asked again.

The Tsarist Russian fleet had arrived in Weihai ten days earlier, and as the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division and the head of the Liaodong Admiralty, Li He had to go to Weihai in person to receive and discuss the neighing of the formation of a combined fleet by the Beiyang Naval Division of Weihai and the fleet of the Tsarist Russia.

"Head, a telegram was sent last night, and I will be back in the next two days."

Since there are still two days, there is no need to rush the affairs of the navy for the time being, thinking of this, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian: "Send electricity to Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Ding Ruchang." Immediately return to Lushun and convene a military conference. ”

It's going to be a big battle, Zhong Lin, who heard this, thought directly.

Summoning the commanders of the three corps, which had been in confrontation with the Japanese army, could only show that Liu Jun was going to issue a combat mission.

"By the way, let Qin Liang come with you."

"Understood," Zhong Lin nodded, turned around and walked out.

Boli City, the weather in May, finally has a warm atmosphere, set up in the military headquarters of the Third Army in the primary school, Duan Qirui, who is wearing a general's uniform, stands quietly in front of the map, and in his hand, he is holding a cup of tea, although the aroma of the tea is strong, but Duan Qirui did not drink, but looked at the map in a daze.

The eastern part is about 60,000 people in the three divisions of the Japanese army in order to maintain law and order and transportation, and the troops on the western front, that is, the main force of the concentrated Japanese army, nearly eight corps of more than 100,000 people.

If the troops are sent at this time, then as long as they go out of Boli and then go north, then the connection of the Japanese army will be cut off by themselves, and at that time, the Japanese army will be divided, and the west will talk about itself and the flanking attack of the Tsarist Russian army, and on the eastern front, Feng Guozhang will also attack, so that the Japanese army will be completely cut into several sections.

Hey, sighing slightly, Duan Qirui returned to his position, the idea is very important, and the attitude is very clear, but he doesn't have the order of the handsome, no matter how good the idea is, it can't be realized.

In desperation, Duan Qirui once again picked up the tea-level reserve river water in his hand to dispel this completely achievable idea.

Before the tea was halfway drunk, the shouts of the guards sounded outside the door.

Putting the teacup down, Duan Qirui quietly let the guards in.

"Report, Lushun Emergency." The guard quickly walked up to Duan Qirui and stretched out his hand to hand out a piece of information.

Lushun emergency electricity, is it. Thinking of this, Duan Qirui quickly took the telegram from the guards.

"Fate, return to Lushun quickly." The telegram was only a few words, but the meaning was already obvious.

Without the slightest hesitation, Duan Qirui glanced at the guards who had not yet gone out: "Immediately ask the chief of staff to come and see me."

Lushun's urgent telegram is to let himself return immediately, then the affairs in the army must be explained simply.

At present, it is a brigade of the Second Division of Tsarist Russia that cooperates with its own defense, and the strength of this brigade is currently concentrated on the Western Front, while its Third Army is concentrated on the Northern Front.

In addition, on the other side of the river, that is, on the border of Liaodong, his own Fourth Army has not yet come. All of this must be explained to the chief of staff, and don't let the rabble of Tsarist Russia fall into traps when he is not there.

After the explanation, Duan Qirui, accompanied by more than a dozen guards, rode out of Boli, and then took a small fort after arriving at the Heilongjiang River, and after boarding the hermitage, he walked to the nearest railway station, after all, only there is the most open road to reach Lushun.

It's just that Duan Qirui didn't know that Feng Guozhang and Ding Ruchang, who had been stationed in Pyongyang since the end of the war against Japan, were also ordered to meet Lushun this time.

They didn't know that Liu Jun had mobilized so many troops in order to deal with Japan this time.
