Chapter 623: The Plan for the Bath
As a last resort, Inoue Xin was also very sad to give such an order, but now, he could only sacrifice the interests of the people in the coastal areas to maintain the combined fleet, so that it could be preserved intact, waiting for the fleet returning from the United States to converge, and then defeat the Liaodong fleet in a counterattack.
From Ito Hirobumi's eyes, he saw Ito Hirobumi's reluctance, but at this time, it is not the time to hesitate, if you hesitate for a minute more, Liaodong may launch an attack, and once the retreat is not completed, the losses caused cannot be clearly explained by one or two dollars.
"Prime Minister, don't hesitate." Inoue Xin said anxiously.
"Don't worry, I won't do this, for the future of the Japanese Empire, these sacrifices are worth it." It's just a pity that the city of Tokyo will be wiped out under the naval artillery attack of Liaodong in the future. After saying this, Ito Hirobumi obviously shed a tear.
If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. Seeing Ito Hirobumi's expression, Inoue Xin said helplessly.
The rise of Liaodong has become an inescapable thing, and the prime minister should not have provoked Liaodong at the beginning, and now he is in such a big trouble.
Click, the two of them didn't speak, but sat quietly in the room and waited for the time to come.
The alarm clock on the wall rang, and at exactly twelve o'clock, Hirobumi Ito, who had been silent, stood up, walked over and opened the curtains, and the sky had begun to clear.
"Command first." Taking a deep breath, Hirofumi Ito said quietly.
Inoue Shin didn't speak, but nodded, turned around and walked out, went to the telegraph room, and began to give orders.
The Great Migration began, and the other Ito Hirobumi didn't know about it, but Tokyo, he knew best, at the beginning, because the emperor had passed, so the order of maintenance was quite perfect, however, when it was close to dusk, that is, after the first division accompanied the emperor away, Tokyo had begun to become chaotic, and every household crowded out of the city gate and began to move to the inland areas, and tens of thousands of people were crowded on the streets, side roads, and even rice fields, and tens of thousands of people were crowded.
Hey, a huge Tokyo, suddenly became an empty city, and two days later, when Ito Hirobumi left, Tokyo, which used to be lively all night long, actually became a ghost town, and you couldn't even see a dog when you received it, let alone a person.
Pop, there has never been such a big light at night in Tokyo, and Ito Hirobumi, who was in his study, was awakened by the fire outside, stood up by the window, and opened the curtains at once.
At a glance, he saw that although it was almost three o'clock in the evening, there were still noisy crowds on the streets, driven by the police, rushing towards the city gate in the distance.
It's chaotic, it's all chaotic, and the batches that were once formulated to go out of the city are now basically completely useless, and the people are rushing to the city gate like crazy.
Forget it, he doesn't want to worry about it, it's not something he should worry about.
He closed the curtains again, and was about to go back to his chair to sleep for a while, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and the footsteps stopped at the doorway, and with a creak, a person walked in from outside, and Ito Hirobumi took a look, and the person who came in was his lieutenant.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Liaodong Emergency Telegram." After the adjutant finished speaking, he handed a telegram in his hand to Hirobumi Ito and stood aside.
The telegram sent back this evening, Ito Hirobumi, who thought of this, looked at it with the help of the light.
Liaodong urgently convened a military meeting today. The meeting was chaired by Liu Jun, and the commander of the navy and the commander of a corps were present.
Weng, after reading it, Ito Hirofumi felt a swarm of bees flying in his head. He knew in his heart that Liu Jun had already begun to hold a meeting to discuss the issue of attacking Japan.
"Go, immediately call Minister Inoue Xin to come to me." Hirofumi Ito, who took a deep breath, looked at the adjutant beside Zhanzai and said.
"Hey." The adjutant nodded vigorously, turned and walked out.
Hmph, come on, I'm going to let you in, you can't get out. Looking at the back of the adjutant, Ito Hirobumi clenched the telegram in his hand and thought viciously.
In the backyard of the Lushun Headquarters, there was a sudden knock on the door in the silent night.
Bang bang bang
"Head, emergency." Zhong Lin, who had been patting outside for a long time, saw that there was no answer inside, so he could only tear open his throat and shout.
Sometimes, knocking on the door is far less pleasant than the sound. Within two minutes, Liu Jun's room was lit up.
There was a creak, and a head protruded from it.
"Sister-in-law, emergency, Japan just Japan" ran too quickly, Zhong Lin couldn't say it completely.
"Come in and talk about it." Seeing that Zhong Lin's face was sweaty and out of breath, Zheng Yiqian opened the door and quickly poured him a cup of tea after letting Zhong Lin in.
"You're going to the pit." Zheng Yiqian finished speaking. Seeing Zhong Lin finish drinking tea, he asked again: "What's wrong, is there any abnormal movement in Japan?"
Although Zhong Lin didn't speak, he still nodded, and handed the telegram in his hand to Zheng Yiqian.
It turned out that tonight, Zhong Lin was already preparing to sleep, and as soon as he turned off the light, the people from the intelligence department handed him an urgent secret telegram, and when Zhong Lin opened it, he was immediately startled, it turned out that it was said that various coastal cities in Japan suddenly began to move people to the interior after twelve o'clock, and the machines of some large enterprises also began to be loaded and transported to the interior.
Zhong Lin, who received this telegram, didn't even think about it, didn't even have time to change his shoes, put on his slippers and ran to Liu Jun's room.
"Paralyzed, I don't know what I ate. I almost collapsed. Zheng Yiqian's telegram hadn't finished reading yet, and Liu Jun's voice came from inside.
"I said I heard someone knocking on the door just now, it was you." Liu Jun, who came in, said happily when he saw Zhong Lin.
"Don't laugh, look at this." After Zheng Yiqian finished speaking, she handed the telegram to Liu Jun.
What the? Liu Jun took the telegram and looked at it, and was immediately startled and looked at Zhong Lin: "The entire coastal area is moving, what about Tokyo?" ”
"Head, Tokyo was the first to start withdrawing, and that Meiji left Tokyo under the escort of the 1st Division at about eleven o'clock."
It's over, as soon as he heard this, Liu Jun sat on the chair. He knew in his heart that the naval battle plan formulated by Li He was in vain.
Damn, who is so lacking in morality, came up with this idea, I cursed him to give birth to a son without asshole. Liu Jun thought depressedly in his heart.
