Chapter 460: Emergency Telegram
Seeing that Liu Jun had changed into a handsome uniform, Ding Ruchang immediately walked in front of him, and after saluting, he sat next to him at Liu Jun's signal.
"What's the recent trend in Japan?" After seeing Ding Ruchang sit down, Liu Jun asked lightly.
"Everything is normal, after the annihilation of the Third Wing at Yangshan, the remnants of the Japanese army retreated to the previous defensive line, and now, we have restored to their respective defensive lines with the Japanese before the war, and there has been no friction." After briefly reporting the situation, Ding Ruchang stood up, walked to the map in a few steps, and pointed out the current position of the two armies on it.
Regarding Ding Ruchang's deployment, Liu Jun did not have any doubts. Therefore, nodding slightly, Liu Jun asked Ding Ruchang to sit down, and motioned for Zhong Lin to go out and let all the guards leave here.
After Zhong Lin came back again, Liu Jun said his thoughts one by one.
Ding Ruchang did not have any objection to Liu Jun's plan, after all, once this thing is successful, then Liaodong will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when Japan and Tsarist Russia are both defeated, he will be able to take action to destroy Japan and attack Tsarist Russia.
The question is how this connector can convey the meaning of Liaodong to Japan, so that Japan can send personnel, select places, and then negotiate an armistice agreement.
"Marshal, the plan is good, but how can we secretly pass on this news to Japan?" Ding Ruchang lowered his head and pondered, raised his head and asked suspiciously.
Regarding this matter, on the way here, Liu Jun discussed the issue of qualification with Zhong Lin and others.
It is impossible to contact Japan directly, after all, it is too far away, and if you want to pass this news to Hirobumi Ito in Japan in the first time, you can only rely on the power of one person, this person, Nogi Nishinori in North Korea.
"I have already arranged it, when the time comes, once the Japanese side has a reply, you and Zhong Lin will choose a place to negotiate with the Japanese army, and as for me, I will personally sit here." After saying lightly, Liu Jun picked up the tea in his hand, closed his eyes and began to taste it.
In Seoul, the deserted streets and Pyongyang are like two cities, Pyongyang's homes are crowded with people, and in Seoul, because of the Japanese army's suppression, the Korean people, especially women, almost never go out.
The Seoul Imperial Palace, which was originally the dormitory of the king of Joseon, is now occupied by Japan, although the king of Joseon is still inside, but the soldiers guarding here are not Korean soldiers, but soldiers of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Second Army.
The east side of the Imperial Palace, which was originally the seat of the Joseon king's administrative affairs, has long since become the headquarters of the Second Army.
In the headquarters, Nogi Nishinori, who had been promoted to general, stood quietly in front of the map, watching the deployment of the First Corps scouted from North Korea. Full of doubts.
From the information just obtained, the First Corps of the Liaodong Army and the Korean Army, which were facing him on the front line, withdrew 10 kilometers back. This move suddenly made Nogi Nishinori not understand what Ding Ruchang was going to do.
During this period of time, Nogi Nishinori wanted to order a duel with Ding Ruchang several times, but the plan of the Prime Minister's Office made him unable to suppress the thoughts in his heart, suppress the front line to the death, and not have high friction with the Liaodong Army.
"Chief of Staff, what do you think of the Liaodong Army's retreat of ten kilometers." Nogi Nishinori, who couldn't think about it, shifted his gaze to Ono, the chief of staff who was standing beside him.
Ono didn't think of any conspiracy of Ding Ruchang, what he thought of now was that since Ding Ruchang ordered all armies to retreat ten kilometers, then the Japanese troops who were now on the front line could also retreat ten kilometers back, so that they could make goodwill actions at the same time, they could also carry out the orders of the base camp and not contact and friction with the Liaodong Army.
"Your Excellency Commander, I think that the Liaodong Army must be sending some signal by doing this, and I think we still let the front-line army withdraw ten kilometers."
After evacuating ten kilometers, Nogi Nishinori looked at Ono suspiciously, and after bowing his head and pondering for a while, he suddenly understood what Ono meant.
Without the slightest hesitation, Nogi Nishinori walked straight to the office, took out the folder, wrote a few lines on it, quickly signed his name and handed it to the staff officer on the side: "Urgent telegram, let the armies on the front line retreat ten kilometers." ”
"Hey." The staff officer nodded, turned and walked out.
Seeing that Nogi Nishinori had given an order, Ono stepped forward and looked at Nogi Nishinori, who was sitting in a chair: "Your Excellency, the strength of the First Corps has retreated ten kilometers, this must have been instructed by Lushun Liu Jun, you see if we report the intelligence to the base camp." ”
Of course, I have to report, after all, I retreated ten kilometers of the army for no reason, and if I don't figure this thing out, Nogi Nishinori always feels that there is a big stone pressing down on him and he can't breathe.
In Tokyo, since the Prime Minister's Office received full command, Hirobumi Ito, who was originally terminally ill, suddenly returned to his office, and began to work normally the next day.
His choice was not wrong, Prince Miyagi Nenghito was indeed a military genius, since he commanded the Far Eastern Army, the Japanese army had won all the way in this time, and had already taken nearly 500 kilometers of Vladivostok territory, and the two armies of the Tsarist Russian army were now being pursued by their own two divisions. Maybe in a few days, the Russian Tsarist army near Vladivostok will be wiped out.
All this is due to the courage of the soldiers, and more importantly, the intelligence map.
It's just that in the current position, Ito Hirobumi doesn't know who gave this information.
After the Vladivostok Fort was blown up, the Vladivostok intelligence officer sent a piece of information, which said in detail that the No. 1 and No. 2 batteries were blown up by an unknown organization, and this intelligence map was also provided by an unknown day, but the other side was very hidden, and it was impossible to find out who it was.
Who, exactly, is helping us, the question of which Ito Hirofumi has been entangled in his inquiry, but if this organization has any bad intentions for his country, then the information given by this is true.
The sound of a knock outside the door interrupted Hirobumi Ito's thoughts in the room.
"Please come in." After adjusting his emotions, Ito Hirobumi sat upright.
card, the door was pushed open, and Ito Hirobumi saw that the person who came in was actually Inoue Xin, and in his right hand, there was a telegram with red words.
Red text, that is, the telegram that is urgent to the extreme.
