Chapter 661: Attack on Zoseburg

"No need, don't you know the temper of the big handsome, once he makes someone responsible, you send a telegram and you have to be said, this is a very important thing, there are so many spy personnel in various countries, if it is leaked, we will fall into passivity, I don't think we will send a message to the big handsome, and then we will report the good news to him."

Duan Qirui said very correctly, Liu Jun had already made a hands-off shopkeeper from the telegram and handed over the matter to Yang Shixiang and him. As for what to do, he will not ask, and he will not care, after all, now that the 23rd Army and the 1st Independent Brigade of the Yellow Army have landed in the Ryukyus, he has nothing to worry about these small things, but has turned his attention to the matter of the upcoming attack on the Sasebo Combined Fleet.

Arthur Command. In Liu Jun's office, a telegram was placed on Liu Jun's desk again, this telegram was delivered by Zhong Lin an hour ago.

The telegram was sent from Tanegashima, and Li He said in the telegram that the troops had landed in the Ryukyus, and all of them had gone ashore, and that after the German fleet had left one armored cruiser and two torpedo cruisers in the port, it had already held a meeting with Tanegashima to rest.

For an hour, Liu Jun did not pay any attention to the release of this telegram, and he knew that once he gave the battle order, the plan for the war against the Japanese mainland would be officially launched.

"What? I haven't been able to make a decision after thinking about it for so long, mother-in-law, this is not your kid's character. Li Hongzhang, who was on the side, saw Liu Jun looking at the telegram, but he didn't give the battle order, and he was inevitably a little dissatisfied in his heart.

If Liu Jun doesn't have any good impression of Japan, then Li Hongzhang also doesn't have any good impression of Japan, it's very simple, how miserable Li Hongzhang was pitted by the Japanese back then, it was directly a traitor's plate buckled on it, the first negotiation, Li Hongzhang was almost not angry to death by Ito Hirofumi's arrogance, therefore, he hated Japan very much, and wished that Japan would disappear without a trace,

He swore that he would never set foot in Japan for the rest of his life, and over the years, Li Hongzhang has done the same, and he has never even met with Japanese. ā€œ

"Zhong Lin." It is estimated that Liu Jun has finished thinking about it, or Li Hongzhang's agitation method has played a role. Liu Jun stood up and shouted loudly.

"Head, where are you, what are your commands?" Zhong Lin, who had been staying next to him, heard Liu Jun calling himself and stood up from the sofa at once.

"Send a telegram to Li He and agree to launch an attack on the Japanese Sasebo." Without any hesitation, Liu Jun quietly gave the order to attack Sasebo.

"Understood." Zhong Lin recorded the telegram, turned around and walked out.

Tanegashima, where the breeze blows, whistling the flags on the masts of the fleet moored on the sea.

On the bridge of the battleship Hongzhang, Li He looked at the six majestic battleships of the First Fleet and the thirteen armored cruisers, and his heart was full of excitement, ten years ago, the total tonnage of the Beiyang Naval Division where he was located was less than 40,000 tons, but now, just a few battleships, the combined tonnage is 50,000 tons. He never thought that the Beiyang Naval Division would have such great achievements today.

Especially the Hongzhang at the foot and the Yi in Vladivostok? No., that is the pride of the Beiyang Naval Division and even the entire China of Liaodong, these two giants, even in the UK, cannot be found.

However, this huge battleship, in the eyes of Britain and even France, was a battleship with envious eyes glowing, and now in Li He's eyes, it was no longer a treasure, and his eyes were completely attracted by the warships under construction in the Dalian Shipyard and the No. 1 and No. 2 docks of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau.

The Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau and the Dalian Shipyard closed the No. 1 and No. 2 docks respectively last year, and Li He knew that the reason for the closure was that the two shipyards were building two warships that he couldn't sleep when he saw them.

The two Emperor-class battleships, with a tonnage of more than 16,000 tons, a length of 135 meters, and a speed of 27 knots, made me feel even more powerful that this kind of battleship was not a twin main gun, but a triple of six 350 mm cannons.

Let's get into the water as soon as possible, and when the time comes, we will be able to completely throw off the United States and even the United Kingdom, thinking of this, Li He raised his head and looked in the direction of Lushun.

"Commander, Arthur telegram." Yan Fu, who came from the command tower, interrupted Li He's thoughts.

Lushun telegram, could it be that the marshal agreed to his plan, and Li He, who thought of this, looked at Yan Fu: What did you say? ā€œ

"The marshal agrees to attack Sasebo."

Okay, that's what I'm waiting for, hearing the agreement, Li He took the telegram from Yan Fu's hand, looked at it for a while, and then looked at the more than thirty warships that shifted his gaze to the moored in Tanegashima: "Go and call William, let's discuss." When Yan Fu walked out, Li He looked at the telegram in his hand again, then turned around and walked to the war room in the commander's tower.

"Okay." Yan Fu nodded, turned around and walked out.

This time, Li He called Wilhelm, not to discuss any battle plan, but to divert the German fleet and attack the coastal defense batteries instead of attacking the port.

The battle plan, when he left Lushun, he had already discussed and determined with Liu Jun, that is, to use surface ships to attract shore defense batteries and the main force of the combined fleet, and then let the submarine take the opportunity to enter the port and strike at the combined fleet in the port.

However, among them, after the submarine entered the port, there was a problem, that is, it could not suffer a huge blow, otherwise, if it was blown up by the battleship's shells, it would really be a disadvantage.

How to prevent the submarine from being shelled after entering the port is a problem that must be solved, and Li He, who has been thinking about it, pointed out that there is an answer, and it is also the only answer, that is, to fire training shells into the port, not live ammunition.

However, this matter could not be known to Germany, otherwise, Germany would inevitably arouse suspicion and investigate, but if Germany was not allowed to know, the Germans would inevitably shell the port with the main guns of huge battleships, so Li He decided to let the German fleet not attack the port, but all of them to attack the shore defense batteries, as for the problem of the port, it would be completed by the Beiyang Naval Division, so that he could use practice ammunition when the Beiyang Naval Division attacked the port after the war, so that he could not harm the submarine at the same time, but also be able to cross the sea all over the world. A surprise for the Japanese.
