Chapter 557: What a Bad Deception
Klinder is not a procrastinator, he thinks that what others say is right, he will accept it, not to mention, this matter can bring so many benefits to Germany, without any hesitation, he asked Eiffel, who was standing on the side, to send a telegram, as for how the German side will answer, it is not a question that he can consider.
Vladivostok, the former headquarters of the Pacific Fleet of Tsarist Russia, and now, the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet on that gate has been changed by Japan into the Temporary Command of the Combined Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire.
Sadly, where did Tsarist Russia snatch Vladivostok from the Qing State, I didn't expect that it would be not many years before the Japanese snatched it, and I don't know if Tsarist Russia will lose face because of this incident after recapturing Vladivostok in the future.
In the war room of the headquarters, the only thing that has not changed is the huge nautical chart, which was originally made by Tsarist Russia, and now, this has become a major report under the command of Ito Yuhiro.
Looking at the map quietly, Ito would quickly return to the sand table behind him after looking at it a few times from time to time, and move into the large and small warships.
From the sand table, there were five or six torpedo cruisers, swimming on the periphery of Vladivostok, near the Tsushima Strait. The rest of the warships were placed nearby near the battery.
For such an arrangement, Ito Yuheng is 10,000 unwilling, no matter how he thinks, this is all showing weakness to Liaodong, but if he doesn't arrange it like this, he also knows that if he encounters Liaodong's fleet, there is only a dead end.
Now, he can only use the fort in Vladivostok to fight with Liaodong.
Hey, sighing, Ito Yuheng returned to the chair next to him and sat down, everything was ready, and now, he could only wait for the news of the search fleet.
"Your Excellency Commander," he said, "I haven't waited for Ito to heat up the bench. There was a voice outside the door, and Ito Yuheng looked up to see that the person who came in was the commander who was ordered to search in the Tsushima Strait this time, Chief of Staff Ono Yoshida.
The good news came, thinking of this, Ito Yuheng stood up, but before he could speak, Ono Yoshida walked over: "Your Excellency Commander, I didn't find the Liaodong fleet. ”
Buzzing a lot of little bees. Ito Yuheng felt that his head was about to explode, what kind of joke is this, three days ago, dozens of warships of the Liaodong Fleet had already begun to enter the Tsushima Strait, how could it be that until now, he actually said that the Liaodong Fleet had not been discovered, how could this be possible.
"You're saying it again?" Ito asked with a look of surprise. "The Liaodong fleet was not found, and they suddenly disappeared on their own in the Tsushima Strait." Ono Yoshida said.
How could something be. Is there a stack of stacks there, so that the Liaodong fleet comes from other places.
Perhaps it was Ono Yoshida who saw Ito's thoughts, and immediately took a step forward: "Absolutely impossible, the No. 9 torpedo boat has been hiding in the Tsushima Strait all along." No trace of them was found. Speaking of this, Ono Yoshida thought for a moment and said again: "By the way, Torpedo Boat No. 10 once reported that it had seen a lot of smoke at dusk yesterday, but it also disappeared the next day.
That must be the Liaodong fleet, the question is, where did they go now.
"Generate electricity to the base camp immediately. Report the situation, and let the intelligence department quickly find out the current location of the Liaodong fleet. Without any hesitation, Ito gave the order.
In Tokyo, although the raging fires have been extinguished with the help of the Tokyo fire department and the people, there is still billowing smoke in several places in Tokyo. The black smoke rose into the sky, leaving the people of Tokyo in a daze after a busy day, and they couldn't figure out why their home had suddenly become like this.
There was no march in the streets, and there were only bursts of weeping and frightened faces.
According to the statistics, although the people did not suffer much damage in the Tokyo explosion, more than 100 people died, but more than 2,000 of the 3,000 defenders of the coastal defense battery were killed, and the battery was basically destroyed.
However, in the midst of misfortune, the palace was unharmed, and not a single shell fell.
Prime Minister's Office, Ito Hirobumi with a sad face is still standing in front of the map in a daze, until now, he has not long known, this Liaodong fleet has obviously entered the Tsushima Strait, why did it suddenly arrive in Tokyo, and give himself such a hand, although he went to meet the emperor himself, the emperor did not say anything, but it is obvious that he saw that the emperor was dissatisfied with himself.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the batteries have all been blown up, and the Liaodong Fleet is well planned, so it won't give us any time to react at all." Inoue on the side said after taking a step forward.
In hindsight, Ito Hirobumi snorted coldly, he had already seen this matter. The shelling before and after, less than three hours, can only show that Liaodong has long planned and prepared an artillery bombardment, but what makes me wonder is how Liaodong did it.
"We must properly handle this matter, and we must not let the Liaodong Fleet come to bombard the matter to spread, otherwise, this will be a huge disaster for us." Ito Hirobumi thought for a while and said, in fact, there is no need for Ito Hirofumi to remind him of this matter, and Inoue Xin also knows how to do it.
"The Guards Division has completely blocked the access path of the battery, and I also ordered the newspaper to publish that last night was due to the exercise, because of the soldier's shooting error, which caused the shells to deviate"
Covering his ears and stealing the bell, Ito Hirobumi really treated the people of Tokyo as monkeys, and the soldiers made mistakes, and only this group of politicians could come up with this excuse.
There is no way to do it, as long as it does not cause panic among the people of Tokyo, even if it is said that it is a meteorite falling from the sky, it is not impossible.
"Report, an urgent telegram from Vladivostok." The attendant walked in and handed the telegram in his hand to Inoue Shin, who was standing in front of Ito Hirobumi.
What did I say, Ito asked quietly.
After Inoue Xin looked at it, he suddenly showed a puzzled face, and after handing the telegram to Ito Hirobumi, Inoue Xin said with a full mouth: "Ito Yuhiro sent a telegram, and no trace of the Liaodong fleet was found, nor did the Liaodong fleet pass through the Tsushima Strait. ”
What the? Hirobumi Ito stood up suddenly. grabbed the telegram,
With a pop, Ito's eyes widened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, he finally knew what was going on.
I was deceived.
