The William in Li He's mouth is the fleet commander of the Far East Fleet this time, with the rank of rear admiral, and I heard that he is still a distant relative of the German Emperor Wilhelm II, but this William is not a rice bucket, he really graduated from the naval school step by step, and he did not touch the light of Emperor Wilhelm at all.

Yan Fu nodded, turned around and walked out.

William's current residence is not very far from the Admiralty, and in less than fifteen minutes, William, who was wearing a major general's uniform, walked in accompanied by Yan Fu.

The German was serious and dull, and now he was the deputy, so as soon as he came in, he saluted Li He and asked what was going on.

For William, during this period of contact, he knew that William was a guy who advocated artillery, and in his eyes, the larger the caliber of the artillery, the better.

Smiling slightly, Li He motioned for William to come to the chart with him, picked up the commander next to him and pointed to the position of Vladivostok and said: "General William, now the Japanese combined fleet is busy in our Vladivostok area and North Korea, you see if we can take this opportunity to take Vladivostok." "This is just a test of William's tone, after all, this Vladivostok is not good for William.

"Lee, I know the importance of Vladivostok, but our Kaiser's order is for us to attack Japan, this."

Okay, it's okay to say this, Li Hewei smiled and said again: "General William, please let me finish speaking." Seeing William nodded, Li He pointed to Weihai, and then made a decision to send the navy to the Yellow Sea, and then the navy of Lushun also arrived near the Tsushima Strait after the confluence of the Yellow Sea, Li He tapped it, all the way through the Tsushima Strait, turned to the direction of Vladivostok, and the other way, Che suddenly made a turn and went straight into Tokyo.

"Commander Li, what do you mean?" William's head is not stupid, and all of a sudden, he guessed what Li He meant. “

Li He smiled, put the command in his hand beside him, and then returned to his position and motioned for William to sit down: "In this operation, we plan to attack Vladivostok as a supplement and shell Tokyo. ”

Nothing beats the bombardment of the enemy's capital, and William nodded: "You can say it." ”

Simply, the Germans appreciate this point.

Li He's meaning was to reflect the friendship between the three parties, that is, he hoped that Germany would divide a few warships and coordinate with the fleet in Weihai to pass through the Tsushima Strait, and he would lead the German fleet and the main force of the Liaobei Ocean to act separately near the Tsushima Strait.

The crux of this plan was to allow the combined fleet to draw its main attention to the Vladivostok direction. And this point, Li He believes, Zhong Lin's intelligence bureau, with some of its own schemes, can be completely done.

"Well, I'll send three cruisers to accompany the fleet in Weihai." Knowing that Li He was indeed doing this for the sake of the friendship between Germany and Tsarist Russia, William finally nodded after being silent for a while.

As soon as he heard this, Li He stood up immediately and looked at Yan Fu beside him: "Notify the captains of all ships to hold a meeting, and in addition, immediately telegraph to Weihai, load supplies, and be ready to set off at any time." ”

In Tokyo, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the windows around Ito's room have been opened, but even so, he still feels a wave of heat coming.

Knock knock, drank all the tea next to him, Ito Hirobumi, who was sitting in the chair, finally felt the heat in his heart being suppressed, and was about to pick up the documents sent to read, the closed door was pushed open again, and when he looked up, he saw Inoue Shin striding in, and in his hand, there was a telegram in his hand.

What bad news again, Ito Hirobumi showed a trace of doubt on his face.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Liaodong Urgent Telegram, the Tsarist fleet in Weihai and the Beiyang sleeping warship have been carrying ammunition to the warship since last night."

What the? Ito Hirobumi took the telegram in his hand and looked at it carefully, then sighed and put the telegram on the table.

The Liaodong Naval Division, which had been calm for three months, suddenly began to carry ammunition and load coal on the warships, and Ito Hirobumi knew that the Liaodong Naval Division was about to make a move.

"Did we find out anything from the intelligence officers?" Looking down and thinking for a moment, Ito asked quietly.

"No, however, this morning, we intercepted the telegram sent from Lushun to Weihai, but the telegram was encrypted, and now our staff is urgently deciphering it, and it is estimated that there will be their offensive targets on it."

"Tell the Ministry of Intelligence that at all costs, be sure to decipher the intelligence." Know the importance of this telegram. Ito Hirobumi stood up suddenly, pointed to Inoue Shin, who was standing beside him, and said.

"Hey." Inoue Xin tapped his head fiercely, turned around and walked out, he wanted to go to the intelligence department in person to supervise the decipherment work.

At the Lushun Admiralty, Li He stood quietly in front of the charts, and from time to time, he would mark some lines with a pen on the upper mion.

The plan to attack Tokyo has been finalized, and the bait has been released at noon today, as for the reaction of the Japanese side, the wine can only quietly wait for the news from the Zhonglin Intelligence Bureau.

"Commander, the battle plan is still being studied. Yan Fu, who came in from outside the door, walked in, came to Li He's side and asked.

Nodding slightly, Li He put down the pen in his hand and returned to his position to look at Yan Fu: "How is it, the information has been sent." ”

Yan Fu nodded: "It has been sent out, and according to your order, it has been densed." ”

Having said that, Yan Fu had a question in his heart, that is, the telegram sent to Weihai this time was originally intended to let Japan know, but why, this telegram needs to be encrypted, and if it is sent in clear code, it would not be better. “

"Commander, why don't we send it without knowing the code, just let Weihai's fleet enter Vladivostok, but why do we add a layer of password?"

Li He stood up suddenly, looked at Yan Fu and said: "It's very simple, the Japanese are suspicious, if I send a clear code to let the Weihai Second Fleet enter the Yellow Sea in addition to Weihai and join our Lushun First Fleet to attack Weihai, the Japanese will actually think that this is a conspiracy, but once I encrypt it, the situation will be no, the Japanese will definitely know that we are going to carry out an operation, so that Japan will not have so many scruples when dispatching the combined fleet." ”

Li He's concern is indeed justified, if Zhengda sends a telegram to Weihai, then there is a problem, that is, Lushun's telegram to Weihai has never been bright.
