The storm came as promised, but just a day earlier than predicted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For the level of meteorological observations of this era, the error was only one day, and this prediction should be called very accurate.

The typhoon raged, masking the roar of the huge fleet motors. Even the black smoke from the chimney was blown away by the wind, although the black smoke of the battleship after the use of fuel instead of coal was not very large.

The huge battleship Fury, with a full displacement of 50,000 tons, was like a straw in this huge typhoon rain, and it was full of dangers.

This is the price that must be paid for military action with the help of typhoon weather, but fortunately, the battleship Fury is very strong, and Li Weiguo does not have to worry about the battleship being sunk by the huge waves, but he is also dizzy by the turbulence of the waves.

Li Weiguo finally fell asleep, to be exact, he fainted, this was the most soundly slept he had in recent times.

By the time Li Weiguo woke up, the storm had passed, and he was thinking about the Japanese coastline blowing away, while the Imperial Chinese Navy followed the storm, and with the help of the storm, approached Edo Bay.

However, man is not as good as heaven.

Seeing that the typhoon was coming, Japan knew that the emperor suddenly announced that it would hold a ship parade in advance before the typhoon made landfall in Japan.

The agents of the Chinese Imperial S.H.I.E.L.D. who were lurking in Edo quickly sent this information back to Wuhan, the capital of Great Kyoto, and Zhang Xiaoliu, the secretary of the military department, was also very surprised when he saw it, and hurriedly informed Li Weijun of the incident through the wireless secret telegram Pacific Fleet Fury.

"What? Japan's ship parade was held in advance? ”

When Li Weiguo heard this, he was so angry that he flipped the table.

"Your Majesty is angry, there is a way that the plan cannot catch up with the changes, and Japan held a ship parade in advance, although it was unexpected, but it was reasonable!"

Li Weijun stubbornly persuaded that at this time, he wanted to strangle the little Japanese emperor to death, and dared to make His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire angry, he really deserved to die.

The expected thunderous anger did not appear, and Li Weiguo just couldn't accept the fact that he had worked hard to fight for a while, but he was still very sensible.

"What else did the intelligence say?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the intelligence said that the Japanese emperor ostensibly held a ship parade in advance, on the one hand, because of the typhoon, he was worried that the typhoon would last too long, so he held it in advance. In fact, the emperor of Japan was worried that someone would sabotage the parade, so he held it in advance to catch the enemy by surprise. ”

Li Weiguo nodded and said, "This reason is quite far-fetched!" It's possible that Nengjiu's side leaked information, knowing that he must have arranged high-level spies around Nengjiu, and what else? ”

"And ......" Li Weijun glanced at Li Weiguo and said cautiously: "There is also an unconfirmed piece of information, the American ambassador to Japan told the Japanese emperor that war may break out at any time, and asked Japan to strengthen the defense of various places. It was precisely because of this incident that the emperor decided to hold an early parade and then ordered the Japanese combined fleet to quickly return to Sasebo and other naval bases to raise the level of defense. ”

Li Weiguo's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "In this way, our plan has been discovered by the United States, and the internal secrets have been leaked!" ”

Li Weijun said: "It is not certain at present, the Ministry of War, the Bureau of Homeland Security, the China Divine E.H.I.E.L.D. and other departments have launched internal investigations, the sneak attack on Edo Bay is top secret, not many people know about it, it is relatively easy to investigate, and there will be results soon." ”

Li Weiguo frowned and said, "What if you find the leaker?" This time the plan was leaked, and we have been preparing for it for more than a year, and all of it is a waste of effort. ”

Li Weijun persuaded: "Even so, if you can find out the spies hidden in the upper echelons of the empire, it is worth it!" ”

Li Weiguo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if this kind of high-level secrets were leaked, it meant that the enemy spies had lurked in the core department of the Chinese Empire, and this cliff was a terrifying combined bomb, which would cause a devastating blow to the Chinese Empire at a critical moment.

So Li Weiguo immediately telegraphed Zhang Xiaoliu, Mingyue, and Li Bin to find out the leaker and not make a mistake.

At the same time, Japan held a ship parade in advance, forcing Li Weiguo to change his sneak attack plan.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that our current position will not be able to catch up with the parade, and we can only attack halfway through, on the way back to the Sasebo Naval Base by the Japanese Combined Fleet."

Now, Li Weiguo has no better way, although the plan to attack Edo Bay has failed, but if he returns empty-handed like this, this is not Li Weiguo's character, so he decided to intercept the Japanese Combined Fleet halfway.

In this way, the area of engagement was shifted from the planned Edo Bay to the southwestern coast of Japan.

However, what Li Weiguo never expected was that the real reason that caused Japan to know that the emperor changed his plan was that the American ambassador officially conveyed to the Entente group that the American navy was about to go to war against the Chinese Empire and asked the Allied member states to prepare for an all-out war with the Allied bloc.

Knowing that the emperor was eager to strangle Roosevelt to death after learning of this, he did not look at Japan's joy and hostility to the Chinese Empire, but he was not psychologically prepared for a real war with the Chinese Empire.

In particular, after the Japanese Combined Fleet was wiped out twice by the Imperial Chinese Navy, the entire Japanese Navy changed color by talking about the Imperial Chinese Navy.

Now, the American Navy is bent on going its own way, and even wants to preemptively attack the Chinese Imperial Navy, not to mention whether it can succeed, even if it succeeds, what is in front of the Japanese Empire is the crazy counterattack of the Chinese Empire, after all, Japan is too close to the Chinese Empire, and if the Chinese Empire wants to counterattack the United States, it must first defeat Japan.

The combined fleet of the Japanese Navy was the first obstacle in front of the Chinese Empire.

Roosevelt's last-minute decision to inform the Japanese Empire was prompted by Carter's remark that alerted Roosevelt. That is the real purpose of the US Navy's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, which is to defeat the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy, win the supremacy of the Pacific Ocean, and gain at least three years of strategic superiority for the United States. But if the Japanese Empire is not notified, then the Japanese Empire may not be an opponent of the Chinese Empire in a hasty response.

Japan's premature defeat was tantamount to depriving the United States of a pawn to contain the power of the Chinese Empire, which was not in the national interests of the United States.

Therefore, at the last moment, Roosevelt's attitude relented, and he decided to notify the Japanese Empire a few days in advance and prepare it for war. As for Britain, France, Russia, and other countries, Roosevelt did not intend to hide it, because telling Japan was tantamount to telling Britain, France, and Russia, and there was no need to hide it, and it was all notified together.

Although Roosevelt's preemptive strike plan made Britain, France, Russia, Japan and other Allied member states very dissatisfied and annoyed that Roosevelt provoked a war in advance, he had to admit that none of the Entente countries could catch up with the Chinese Empire in terms of economic strength, industrial strength and military strength.

At the same time, the United States was the backbone of the Entente, and Britain, France, Russia, and Japan were well aware that without the participation of the United States, they would not be able to defeat the Allied bloc at all, and it would not even be possible to win against the Chinese Empire. Therefore, even if he was scolding Roosevelt as a bastard in his mouth and heart, he had to follow Roosevelt and prepare for war.

This is also the real reason why the emperor decided to hold a ship parade in advance and then let the Japanese combined fleet immediately return to Sasebo to guard against the Chinese Empire.

Even, knowing that the emperor planned to cancel the parade and prepare for war in an all-round way, it was just that the American ambassador did not want the Chinese Empire to be warned and asked the Japanese military to prepare secretly, and the parade was an event that attracted the attention of the Chinese Empire and could not be canceled.

The international situation is always changing so fast that it is impossible to predict and ponder.

Li Weiguo thought that he had leaked secrets and ordered the relevant intelligence departments to conduct a thorough investigation, but he unexpectedly found a poisonous snake hidden inside the key departments of the Chinese Empire.

Since the plan to attack Japan was known only to a few of the Empire's top brass, it was very easy to investigate.

Zhang Xiaoliu, Mingyue and Li Bin personally led the team to monitor all the insiders and their subordinates, interrogate them one by one, and conduct polygraph tests at the same time.

More than 500 people, including the prime minister, the secretaries and attendants of the departments of the three provinces and six ministries, as well as the relevant personnel involved in the formulation of the First Sino-Japanese military operation, and the personnel of the confidential office, all of them underwent routine questioning and polygraph testing.

Among them, the polygraph is the most important means, this is the advanced equipment invented by Li Weiguo, the use of human psychology and heartbeat rate, combined with voltmeter equipment, to form a set of the most primitive polygraph, as long as the other party lies, it will produce subtle emotions and heartbeat rate fluctuations, thus affecting the violent changes of the voltmeter pointer.

People are born to lie and use force, and everyone has their own secrets and lies.

So in response to this situation, Li Weiguo set up a series of questions separately, just like a psychiatrist giving a patient an answer sheet, which is full of all kinds of simple questions, all of which are problems in life, very simple.

The interrogator will ask these life questions at first, until the interrogator enters the state, and after the voltmeter has stabilized, he suddenly asks a key question, and generally the liar will have a violent psychological fluctuation, which will be directly exposed.

Of course, in later generations, many international espionage agencies will conduct anti-polygraph training for spies, so that spies can easily pass through the enemy's polygraph equipment.

But in this era, other countries did not have such equipment as lie detectors, except for the intelligence organs of the Chinese Empire, the officials of the three provinces and six ministries and other departments did not know what this thing was for, so they were not psychologically prepared.

They only thought that this device was a medical device, so a lot of their own secrets and lies were exposed in an instant.

Almost everyone is lying, of course, Zhang Xiaoliu and others don't care about these lies in life that don't involve state secrets, they only care about who is a spy.

"What? No? ”

"This is impossible, no matter how clever a spy is, it is impossible to evade our polygraph!"

Zhang Xiaoliu, Mingyue and Li Bin met and did not find the lurking spy, which made the three of them very surprised.

"Unless, unless this spy knows about our polygraph system!"

"You're saying this spy is someone inside our intelligence bureau? That's impossible! ”

"Perhaps, it was in the Intelligence Bureau before? Or have you received a polygraph before? ”

"Or maybe it's not one person, but two spies who cover each other?"

The three of them discussed in depth, quickly found a series of possibilities, and then restarted a new round of investigation.

If you change to before, after one round of polygraphs, you will never conduct a second round of investigations, because one polygraph is enough to do it.

But this time, Li Weiguo believed that it was an internal intelligence leak, and a spy had infiltrated the top of the empire, which forced Zhang Xiaoliu and others to catch the hidden spy.

If Li Weiguo knew that all this was a coincidence, not an internal leak, but a collision with Roosevelt's plan, it is estimated that this would never have happened.

But by mistake, Zhang Xiaoliu and others vowed to dig out this spy, but they really dug it out.

Xu Yan, the archivist of the confidential room of the Ministry of War, the daughter of Xu Shou, vice president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences and head of District 51, is Miao Hong, and no one will suspect her.

However, it was this Xu Yan who had been lurking in the Chinese Empire for twenty years. She is not the real Xu Yan, but the Japanese Rumiko Minamizo.

Twenty years ago, Rumiko Nanzo followed his father Nanzaochen to Shanghai, China, and became the first spies to lurk in China knowing that the government was knowing, and they had no task but to lurk at all costs.

By chance, twelve-year-old Rumiko Nanzo met Xu Yan, a classmate at the time, at the girls' school, and the relationship between the two was good, and after a long time, Rumiko Nanzo knew Xu Yan's identity and knew that her father was Xu Shou, so she had a plan to impostor.

Xu Shou spent all his time on work, rarely visited his daughter, Nanzao Rumiko and Xu Yan look very similar, plus the girl is the time of the eighteenth change of the female university, so an accident, the real Xu Yan was killed, Nanzao Rumiko impersonated Xu Yan, and since then in the Chinese Empire has obtained an identity that no one doubts, as well as a privileged position, and when he grows up, he is transferred to the confidential room of the Ministry of War.

Rumiko Nanzo has never been awakened by her "superiors", she continues to lurk, even if she accidentally saw the general staff's war games against Japan, she did not take the initiative to transmit information to the outside world.

It's a pity that she is very much back, Zhang Xiaoliu and others mistakenly think that there is a very hidden spy in the key department of the empire's high-level internal department, originally Nanzo Rumiko was not overly concerned because of her special identity, and the people who tested her were also casually asked, went through the motions, and did not suspect her.

However, Zhang Xiaoliu and others couldn't find anyone, so they had to increase their efforts to investigate.

So, the testers also cheered up, and they couldn't find a spy, so they all had to walk around without eating, so in the second round of investigation, they became more serious, and Rumiko Nanzo did not hide from it, and exposed too many lies in the second round of polygraph, which attracted Li Bin's attention.

Since he couldn't find the deeply hidden spy, Li Bin also had a headache, so he paid attention to this fake "Xu Yan".

At this time, after the Japanese side got the news of the imminent war, they were eager to get the information of the Chinese Imperial military, so they sent a liaison person to wake up the "Daisy", which is the code name of Rumiko Nanzo, but it happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, and was caught by Mingyue and Li Bin's men, and after interrogation, the truth was revealed.

An accident made Li Weiguo lose the opportunity to sneak attack Edo Bay, but instead he caught a spy hidden in the confidential room of the military department, which can be said to be a great luck.

After learning about this, Li Weiguo was also surprised, but he didn't have the heart to put it on it, because another big event happened.

At dawn on September 16, 1894, the American Navy attacked Pearl Harbor. (To be continued.) )
