Chapter 491: Misfortune is not a one-way street
A few horses' hooves sounded, and a few horses quickly left the gate of the headquarters and began to move in the direction of the advancing armies in the direction of Boli.
Looking at the back of the herald in the distance, Ono took a deep breath, picked up the telegram in his hand and returned to the room, stuck again, Ono called his communication soldier, and then he immediately told Vladivostok the news of the Liaodong Army's crossing of the river, and then transferred it to the base camp.
Japan, since the order to advance the troops to Boli again, Ito Hirobumi always found time to go to the telegraph office when he was working, hoping to get information about Boli, but for two days, the telegraph office did not have any information about Boli at all, on the contrary, he received the news that the German expeditionary fleet had entered the Indian Ocean, and that Nikolai had sent a fleet from Europe to make a detour to Asia.
According to the British lightness, the Tsar immediately convened an emergency meeting after learning that his Pacific Fleet had been completely destroyed, and three days after the meeting, Nikolai immediately made a decision and pulled out a huge fleet of five battleships, six armored cruisers and eleven-handed torpedo cruisers from the Baltic Fleet, and had left the port.
Old wounds have not yet been repaired, there is one more Tsarist fleet. When Hirobumi Ito heard the news, he almost collapsed immediately.
In fact, Moscow decided to let the European fleet come to Asia, firstly, to avenge the Pacific Fleet, and more importantly, that is, to rob the territory, according to the agreement between German Liaodong and itself at that time, Kyushu belonged to Liaodong, and the four countries belonged to Germany, and the rest of the place was its own. In such a big place, Tsar Nikolai was red-eyed at that time.
However, things changed suddenly, the Pacific Fleet let the Combined Fleet pinch it, which made the tsar thunderous, there is no navy, let alone the territory of the Japanese army, I am afraid that I will not even be able to see the territory of Japan at that time. Therefore, he immediately ordered the Minister of the Navy to form a Far East Fleet and set off in Asia, of course, this Nikolai was not a vegetarian, and he actually insisted on letting the fleet leave more than ten days late, in order to let the Liaoning Northeast Ocean Naval Division and the German fleet fight with the Combined Fleet first, and then pick up the ready-made ones himself.
Squeak. The door was pushed open, and Ito Hirobumi looked up to see that it was Inoue Shin who had come in.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that there was obviously a trace of nervousness on Inoue's face, Ito Hirobumi asked with a frown.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Liaodong Army has crossed the river." In a word, Hirobumi Ito stood up from his chair in fright.
After brushing the telegram, I saw that it was clearly written that the front line had found the Third Army of the Second Corps of the Liaodong Army.
"Baga, hateful Englishman." Angrily slammed the telegram in his hand to the ground, Ito Hirobumi ruthlessly said from his mouth that the ancestors of the British were eighteen generations.
Inoue on the side was stunned, he didn't understand why the prime minister would scold the British.
Can you not scold, if Britain could have told itself the news earlier, then it would definitely not let the Fifth Division advance to Boli to provoke the Liaodong Army. Now that the Liaodong Army had entered Boli, the British told themselves that Tsarist Russia had dispatched a European fleet. It is very suspicious that the British did it on purpose.
In order to expose oneself to the enemy.
Although Inoue Shin, who understood what Ito Hirofumi meant, did not say anything, he still had a trace of resentment against Britain in his heart.
However, now, it is not the time to hold a grudge against the British, and now that an army and a cavalry division of the Liaodong Army have entered Boli, it has already posed a huge threat to the Fifth Division and the Japanese army in the Far East, and even the Korean side will be affected by this matter, and the top priority at present is how to properly handle the relationship with Liaodong and avoid going off, instead of cursing the British here.
"Prime Minister, the Prince has called and asked whether to continue the attack on Boli, or to take a detour?" Seeing that Ito Hirobumi had recovered his mood, Inoue Shin stepped forward and asked cautiously.
Nonsense is not, now that the Liaodong Army has entered Boli and is moving forward, it will inevitably go out of fire with the Liaodong Army, and once it goes fire, it will inevitably completely destroy the agreement that has just been signed with Liaodong, once that time. It is bound to break out a full-scale war between itself and Liaodong. At that time, without the arrival of Germany, the combined fleet in Vladivostok could be wiped out by the Beiyang Naval Division, and once that time, hundreds of thousands of troops in the Far East would be caught under the attack of Liaodong and Russia on both sides, and there would be no way out.
"Telegraph to the prince to make a detour to Boli, and in addition, inform the whole army of the Far East that it is necessary to leave the Liaodong border a hundred kilometers. to fight. Sighing. Ito Hirobumi reluctantly gave the order that he was most unwilling to give in his life, the dignified Japanese Empire, because Liaodong sent troops to Boli, and could only retreat and detour, which is said to be more embarrassing and humiliating, but now, the situation in Japan has to do this.
Arthur Command. Liu Jun stood quietly in front of the map, the Third Army had fully entered Boli and began to cooperate with the Russian defenders, which made Liu Jun feel a little worried, if Japan tore its face and started a war with itself, then his plan to lead the water to the east may end early, once this happens, he can only start another war with Japan without any reinforcements.
Little Japan, if you have the vision, don't start a war with me in a rash way, otherwise, you won't have any chance to destroy the army from Europe. Muttering to himself, Liu Jun returned to his chair, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with his hands.
"Head, good news." Zhong Lin's voice made Liu Jun open his eyes suddenly.
"Head, good news, Duan Qirui called, the Fifth Division, which is closest to Boli, suddenly retreated last night, and has now retreated to sixty kilometers away from Boli." Zhong Lin, who walked in front of Liu Jun, handed over the telegram in his hand and smiled happily.
With a long breath, Liu Jun knew that this time, he had won.
"Tell Duan Qirui to strengthen the arming in case the Japanese army makes a false shot." Although he knew in his heart that the Japanese army was no longer there, it was better to be careful, so Liu Jun once again gave an order to Zhong Lin, who was standing next to him, and asked him to send the telegram to Boli.
"Hehe, head, I'm afraid the Japanese army is not in the mood to return to the carbine." Zhong Lin, who said this, took out a piece of information from his folder again and put it on the table.
Seeing Liu Jun stretch out his hand and take the telegram from the table, Zhong Lin said again: "Head, the Russian station has sent a message that Tsar Nicholas II ordered the European fleet to form an expeditionary fleet. A detour through Europe and began to come to us, and according to the situation, they have been on the road for three days. ”
What, Liu Jun, who heard this, looked at Zhong Lin and shifted his eyes to the telegram in his hand again.
Hahahaha In the headquarters, Liu Junxi's smiling laughter came.
