"Dashuai's move is high." Smiling slightly, Li Hanzhang put the telegram on the coffee table and laughed a few times, seeing that Lin Guoxiang had not yet understood, Li Hanzhang pointed to the map: "Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger." ”

It turned out that this was the case, and Lin Guoxiang immediately understood that this exercise was aimed at Britain.

"Boss, isn't the commander afraid that the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division will go south, and the Japanese Combined Fleet will have the opportunity to attack Lushun." Lin Guoxiang, who lowered his head and thought about it a few times, stepped forward and asked.

With a cold snort, Li Hanzhang stood up from his position and said with a smile: "Japan doesn't dare." ”

Li Hanzhang's thinking is not confused, he does not trust the armistice agreement signed with Japan, but because he understands very well that the current combined fleet is desperately trying to transport supplies to Vladivostok, and that is, the current strength of the combined fleet is not capable of attacking Lushun or even Weihai, and more importantly, Japan is worried that once a war is provoked, then the First Corps in Pyongyang will cross the border with 100,000 troops within an hour, and at that time, it will be like pushing water, driving all the 50,000 Japanese troops in Korea into the sea. When the time comes, Japan's gains outweigh its losses, and it will accompany his wife to lose soldiers.

So that's the case, Lin Guoxiang nodded with satisfaction, since this is the case, then he has to hurry back to the headquarters, make a perfect plan, and wait for the arrival of the main force of the fleet.

Arthur Command. Liu Jun sat on the chair and looked at Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian standing in front of him with a puzzled expression, just now, Liu Jun actually told the two of them that most of the Beiyang Naval Division that went to the South China Sea exercise this time would be removed, that is to say, there will be only one armored cruiser and more than a dozen torpedo cruisers guarding Lushun at that time.

"Head, I am against it, the main forces are all dispatched, and if the Japanese come to attack at that time, Lushun will be in danger." Zhong Lin, who had been silent for a long time, was the first to speak, opposing the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division going south, if there was really no way, at least leave a battleship in Lushun.

"I agree with Zhong Lin's words, the Japanese are an untrustworthy thing." Zheng Yiqian did not support Liu Jun for the first time.

What's the matter, seeing the two people who are usually obedient to their words, now they are actually opposing it in unison, this is simply it.

"What's the matter with you two, do you think that if I transfer the main force of Beiyang away, the Japanese will come to attack." Seeing that the two objected, Liu Jun stood up and asked.

The two glanced at each other, as if they didn't understand what Liu Jun meant. Japan, why didn't he dare to attack Lushun.

Seeing that the two were puzzled, Liu Jun shook his head helplessly and pointed at the two, pointed to the heads of the two and said, "You think Ito Hirobumi is as stupid as you." After saying this, Liu Jun stood up from his position and turned to the Admiralty.

In Tokyo, Japan, the superficially brilliant Ito Hirobumi is actually exhausted to the extreme, and now, his status among the Japanese people has reached the highest level in history, and in the eyes of the people, he is giving Japan hope. The fact that the Imperial Army had left Tsarist Russia defenseless sounded like an exciting thing.

However, the people only saw one side, the imperial army struck Tsarist Russia, but they did not see the whole picture, that is, the enemy of the empire was not only a Tsarist Russia, but also a Germany and Liaodong.

Either of these two forces could cause great harm to Japan, not to mention that the German army was now in Arthur and could attack itself at any time.

Hey, a sigh came from the study of the Prime Minister's Office. Hirobumi Ito, dressed in a black suit and bow tie, stood in front of the window, looking at the guards and civilians who walked by from time to time outside in a daze.

There was a creak, and Ito Hirobumi looked back to see that Inoue was picking up a piece of information and walked in.

Taking a deep breath, Hirobumi Ito returned to his position and looked at Inoue Shin, who was approaching.

A few days ago, the day after the arrival of the German fleet, Ito Hirobumi convened a cabinet meeting, but this meeting, which can be said to be the worst, did not have an agreed result at all. Let the troops in the Far East attack Tsarist Russia.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Liaodong Emergency. The German fleet and the Beiyang Naval Division are stepping up their replenishment. Inoue Shin, who walked up to Hirobumi Ito, said as she handed the information to Hirobumi Ito.

With a thud, Ito Hirobumi's heart almost didn't frighten out, the German fleet and the Beiyang Naval Division were sending it, what does this mean, you don't have to think about it to know that Liaodong is going to war.

In a trance, Ito's hand trembling as he picked up the telegram.

When Inoue saw Hirobumi Ito like this, she immediately knew that he had misunderstood, because he didn't finish the content of the telegram.

The Liaobei Ocean Naval Division and the German fleet were indeed sending supplies, but not to attack Japan, but to go to the south for exercises.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, almost all the main forces of the Liaoning Northeast Ocean Naval Division and the German fleet are going to Guangdong this time, you see?"

What, Ito Hirobumi's trembling hands shook violently, and then he regained his composure, Guangdong, listen to Inoue Xin's meaning, this supplementary fleet is not to fight with himself, but to go to Guangdong, what is going on? Ito Hirobumi quickly regained his composure while he fell into confusion.

Seeing that Ito Hirobumi had regained his composure, Inoue Shin took a step forward and explained the situation in general.

It turned out that, according to the intelligence officers of the Imperial Lushun, the Northeast Liaoning Ocean Naval Division and the German Far East Fleet were going to Guangdong to participate in the glorious exercises they had done.

It is strange that at this time the two fleets are exercising, which song did Germany and Liu Jun sing.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, now that the main forces of the Beiyang Naval Division are all out, do you see if we can adjust the operational deployment and let the Combined Fleet sneak attack Lushun?"

Stop, before Inoue finished speaking, Ito Hirobumi waved his hand and signaled Inoue not to speak.

In this case, let the Combined Fleet go to attack Lushun, don't even think about it, once the sneak attack on Lushun, the Beiyang Naval Division that went south will turn back, and then Japan will really have no chance to make a detour, not only will the Combined Fleet be attacked by the Beiyang Naval Division and the German fleet, even Pyongyang, and even the Far East, will suffer Liu Jun's ruthless retaliation. At that time, the first to bear the brunt of the attack was the DPRK, if it had been, the DPRK would still be able to resist the 1st Corps in Pyongyang, but now, the main forces of the DPRK have been transferred to the Far East. With a force of 50,000 against Pyongyang's hundreds of thousands of troops, not to mention Nogi Nishinori, even if it is useless to invite Amaterasu out.

Therefore, Hirobumi Ito's first reaction to Inoue's suggestion was that he absolutely couldn't, resolutely couldn't agree, and didn't even think about it. It's a sin to think.
