Without looking at the broken teacups, Inoue Xin turned around and picked up the telegram and ran outside, just now he looked at it, the content on it was too scary. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Just a few words, although it is just a few words, but any word can make Inoue happy.

The entire combined fleet was annihilated, and there was nothing wrong with that, the content of the telegram above said that the combined fleet was attacked by an unknown torpedo and the entire army was annihilated.

He didn't believe it, but seeing the payment behind this, Inoue Xin had to believe that after all, this was a telegram sent by the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, and there would be no fake.

Ding ding dong, as soon as Inoue Xin came out, she ran to the office of the Prime Minister's Office.

From the post office to the town government, it is a distance from an alley, even so, Inoue Xin is still running with smoke, and her limbs are weak.

Too late for someone to report, Inoue Shin pushed open the door of Hirobumi Ito's office.

Seeing Inoue Xin panting and crashing into it in a cold sweat, Ito Hirobumi frowned, put down the pen in his hand this time and asked, "Inoue-kun, what's wrong?" ”

"Prime Minister, it's all over." Inoue Shin, who was incoherent, opened her mouth and said something that made Ito Hirobumi puzzled.

What's over, Hirobumi Ito looked puzzled, he really didn't understand, what was Inoue going to say? “

Perhaps realizing his sick sentence, Inoue Xin took a deep breath and shook the telegram in his hand: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, Sasebo is calling, the United Fleet, the day before yesterday, the whole army was destroyed." ”

Father....... Hearing Inoue Shin say this, Ito Hirobumi felt a big thunderbolt above his head.

What are you talking about, for the first time, Ito Hirobumi actually grabbed Inoue Xin's collar and asked with a smile in his eyes.

"The Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet called. On the morning of the 5th, the Combined Fleet was attacked by an unknown torpedo at the military port, and the entire situation was destroyed, and the commander of the Combined Fleet, Sukehiro Ito, committed suicide. ”

"How is it possible, how is this possible." Ito Hirobumi, who loosened Inoue's collar, screamed loudly, the impregnable shore defense and shore batteries in his eyes would be completely wiped out with the addition of dozens of warships of the Combined Fleet. He's never going to go first, it's true.

No, it must have been the intelligence officer who sent the wrong information, and Ito Hirobumi didn't give up and walked back and forth in the room.

"Report, Sasebo shore defense turret sent emergency personnel, request to see His Excellency the Prime Minister."

"Let him in." Hearing this, Hirofumi Ito said loudly after sorting out his emotions.

A few minutes later, a lieutenant in a navy uniform appeared in the hall, but now, the uniform, which used to look very comfortable, was now in tatters.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, it's all over, four battleships and eight armored cruisers of our Combined Fleet were all sunk by unknown torpedoes in less than an hour. Chief of Staff Ono led the remaining ships to meet the enemy, but was outnumbered, and now Chief of Staff Ono has surrendered with the remaining fifteen torpedo cruisers. The lieutenant who ran in didn't even have etiquette, but knelt down and said with tears on his face.

Poof, anxious, Ito Hirofumi, who heard the news, took two deep breaths, sat on the chair trembling and shook a few times, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Prime Minister." Seeing that mouthful of blood. Inoue Xin hurriedly stepped forward to support Ito Hirobumi and turned her head and shouted, "Military doctor." ”

Chengdu. September heat. In the yamen of the military aircraft department, Zhang Zhidong picked up a paper fan in his hand and kept sitting on the Taishi chair, fanning back and forth.

It was so hot that he felt uncomfortable even though he had a basin of ice next to him.

"Sir, your newspaper." The butler walked in, handed Zhang Zhidong a newspaper, and walked out again.

En, Zhang Zhidong, who nodded slightly, closed his eyes and sighed, but he didn't read the newspaper, but still fanned the wind.

From the original order, after the Qing army retreated ten kilometers, the Liaodong Army also retreated ten kilometers, so that between the two armies, a buffer zone of twenty kilometers was formed.

After his leisure time came down, Zhang Zhidong also began to care about the war between Liaodong and Japan. In all fairness, he is also a Chinese, and he also hopes in his heart that this time Liaodong and Japan will face off against each other, Liaodong will be able to win a big victory, so that even if he can't congratulate him in person, he is very happy in his heart.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, where are you?" Zhang Zhidong, who closed his eyes, opened his eyes, and he heard that this voice was from Song Pan, the governor of Sichuan. “

"What's the matter, is there something going on on in the imperial court again?" When he saw Song Pan coming in, he shouted, and Zhang Zhidong stood up from the Taishi chair and asked.

However, looking at Song Pan's hand, there was no concert, but a newspaper, Zhang Zhidong estimated that the court was safe.

To tell the truth, the current imperial court, Zhang Zhidong has regained confidence again, at least, now Cixi has begun to let Guangxu preside over government affairs, although in major matters, it is still Cixi who has the final say, but anyway, Guangxu can still decide on general matters now. And not like the original, a light pole commander.

"Have you read today's paper?" As soon as Songpan entered the house, he waved the newspaper in his hand twice and asked excitedly.

Newspaper, this girl came here early in the morning, wouldn't it be to tell herself about the newspaper, although she thought so in her heart, Zhang Zhidong still pointed to the newspaper next to her and said, "I haven't read it yet." ”

"Why don't you look at the front page news, the headlines of Liaodong Daily, German Daily and Tsarist Russian News today, the Japanese Combined Fleet, on the morning of the 5th, was completely wiped out by the Beiyang Naval Division and the German fleet in Sasebo."

With a click, the fan in Zhang Zhidong's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, however, he didn't care about it at all, but directly lifted the newspaper from the table.

Sure enough, what was written on it was the news of the great victory of Sasebo and the annihilation of the combined fleet.

"Is this true?" Zhang Zhidong, who showed a surprised look, slapped the newspaper in his hand and asked Song Pan who was sitting on the side excitedly.

It should be true, after all, even if the newspapers in Liaodong are fake, there will be no fakes in the newspapers of Germany and Tsarist Russia.

"It is estimated that I heard from the people in Hanzhong that Liaodong is now preparing for a celebration meeting, preparing to commend the Beiyang Naval Division and the German fleet that are about to return."

It seems that there will be no fake, Zhang Zhidong thought after taking a deep breath.

The question arises, where the imperial court will go in the future, all of these are issues that Zhang Zhidong has to consider.
