Chapter 438: This Is Not Normal
In the Didi Didi telegraph room, the sound of ticking was still ringing, and Zhong Lin on the side looked at the telegraph staff motionlessly.
A few minutes later, the telegraph operator put down his pen and translated the information against the code.
This password was bought by Zhong Lin from the Russian counselor for 300,000 taels of silver.
Zhong Lin likes to deal with Tsarist Russia the most now, because Tsarist Russia is no better than others, as long as there is money, it can be betrayed by his parents, let alone a tsar.
"Director, the information is out, Vidoyev has sent a telegram to Moscow."
After a few good words in a row, Zhong Lin was excited to receive the telegram handed by the telegraph operator, and after reading it carefully, he only instructed the telegraph room to closely monitor the situation on the Tsarist side, and then happily picked up the telegram and ran to Liu Jun's room.
HeheheheLushun Headquarters, Liu Jun's home, at this time, Liu Jun was holding the translated telegram and kept shaking in his hand.
Things are the same as he analyzed, once he and the German side entered, then Tsarist Russia would definitely be in a hurry, and now, things have come true, how can this not make Liu Jun happy.
"Head, everything is planned now, just waiting for these two countries to get accurate telegrams from their homes." Zhong Lin smiled when he saw where Liu Jun was, and immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Yes, yes, Liu Jun put the telegram on the table, returned to his place and sat down, looked down and thought for a while, and then raised his head.
In the past few days, he has been making things about the launching of Germany and Tsarist Russia, which is really a lot less important than the Japanese side.
"Is there a situation on the Japanese side?"
Japan, Zhong Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly raised his head, and told Liu Jun about the situation in Japan for a while.
At sea, since the convergence of the Beiyang Naval Division and the Fujian Naval Division and the Guangdong Naval Division on the back, the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division has almost doubled by leaps and bounds, and such a huge force has made the Combined Fleet have been cowering in Sasebo for a period of time recently, and there is no movement except for regular patrols every day, and on land, since Ding Ruchang abolished the Japanese Third Wing that broke through, Nogi Nishinori in Seoul also suddenly stopped moving, and the two sides returned to calm again.
It is exactly a strange news that the two sides have declared war for so long, except for only one fight in Yangsan, North Korea, almost every day is calm. It's as if the two countries are the two countries that this declaration of war is used as an ornament to amuse the countries of the world.
"Hmph, it's quiet." With a light snort, Liu Jun stood up, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.
The sound of warships entering the port was faintly heard in the distance, which was a signal for the Beiyang naval division to enter the port.
It is also not known whether the navy has now been formed and reorganized.
Japan's Sasebo, since returning from the East China Sea, Ito Yuheng has been holding his breath in his heart, originally thought that if he went to the East China Sea, he would definitely be able to wipe out the Fujian Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division in the north, but who knew that when the war was about to start, the Beiyang Navy Division actually appeared in the northwest of him, and as soon as the Beiyang Navy Division appeared. He completely interrupted his plan, and without any certainty at all, he could only order the whole fleet to return.
As soon as he returned to Sasebo, Ito sent a telegram to the Tokyo Admiralty complaining to the intelligence department, accusing the intelligence department of not knowing even a single piece of information. Let the huge fleet empty and consume countless coals without firing a single shot.
Since returning to Sasebo, Ito Yuheng has had another layer of doubt in his heart while being angry with the Intelligence Department, which is the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division, which has grown again.
Originally, when the Fujian Naval Division and the Guangdong Naval Division had not yet gone north, Ito Yuheng was already jealous of them in his heart, and he was already more worried about the Beiyang Naval Division, but now, the Fujian Naval Division and the Guangdong Naval Division converged northward, which increased his worries. So during this time, he just ordered the fleet to patrol in Japanese waters, and did not go out to deliberately provoke the Beiyang Naval Division.
"Your Excellency Commander, I'm calling from Tokyo, and the investigators and responsible personnel in charge of this intelligence have been self-defeated." The adjutant walked in, and while telling the plan for dealing with Tokyo, he handed a telegram to Ito.
Hmph, a cold snort, Ito Yuheng frowned, the food of the intelligence officers this time is not something that can be solved by self-cutting, if the intelligence department can give themselves this information a day earlier, then the Fujian Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division will not go north to converge the Beiyang Fleet, but will be intercepted and sunk by themselves. But now, hey, Ito shook his head helplessly and motioned for the adjutant to go out, he had too much depression in his heart.
In the city of Tokyo, the cold breath still hangs over the streets of Tokyo. Since the declaration of war with Liaodong, the original fierce marches have decreased, but even so, there are still a procession of marchers walking back and forth on the streets from time to time. Shouting slogans such as reaching Liaodong and annihilating the Beiyang Naval Division.
The people's actions are nothing more than to vent their dissatisfaction, but when they fight, they will die, and everything in a country will be involved.
"Destroy the Beiyang Naval Division, avenge the dead imperial soldiers, long live the Great Japanese Empire." The slogans on the streets clearly passed through the windows of the Prime Minister's Office and reached Ito's ears.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Ito Hirobumi stood up and walked to the window, and he saw that on the interface, a group of students, policemen, soldiers, and civilians were marching towards the distance with slogans held high, and looking at the group of people, it was estimated that there were hundreds of people.
The empire is from this scene, why worry about Liu Jun's immortality, looking at the parade in the distance, Ito Hirofumi showed a smile.
Knock knock, a rush of footsteps sounded, and Ito Hirobumi, who turned around, saw that the person who came was Inoue Xin.
Could it be that something is going on again, Hirobumi Ito frowned, judging from Inoue and his pace, it doesn't seem to be a good thing.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I just received an urgent telegram from Liaodong." Before Inoue could get in front of Ito Hirobumi, she took out a telegram from it and handed it to Ito.
Liaodong has recently had close ties with Tsarist Russia and Germany.
Tick-tock, Ito Hirofumi had a bad premonition in his heart. The two countries declared war, and Liaodong did not focus on the war, but with Tsarist Russia and Germany, which is a little incredible.
"Find out what they're discussing?" Puzzled, Hirobumi Ito stared at Inoue Shin, who was standing in front of him.
"Not at present, but, according to the situation, during the Chinese New Year, Liaodong has ordinary contacts with Tsarist Russia and Germany." Inoue Xin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said lightly.
"Are you sure it's the New Year?" Ito Hirofumi seemed to have grasped something, and suddenly stepped forward and asked seriously.
"It is certain that from the beginning of the new year, Liu Jun invited the German minister to his home for dinner, and then, Germany and Liaodong traveled too often, and Tsarist Russia was also very similar, just a few days earlier." Inoue didn't understand why Hirobumi Ito would ask such a question, but he answered honestly.
With a long sigh of relief, Hirobumi Ito finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Qing Dynasty and even Liaodong will attach great importance to the New Year's Festival, and every year for the New Year, Liu Jun will send people to the legations to pay New Year's greetings, which is not a concern.
"Inoue-kun, you're too careful, have you forgotten what you thought about Liaodong during this time?" Hirofumi Ito smiled slightly, and then looked at Inoue with a serious face.
Looking down and pondering, Inoue Shin suddenly understood what Ito Hirobumi meant, this is indeed a normal phenomenon, after all, in previous years, this would also appear. Maybe his nerves were too tense, Inoue Xin smiled slightly: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is wise." ”
Hehe, Ito Hirobumi smiled slightly, he loved to hear such words.
"Still." Perhaps Inoue remembered something, and after a pause, he looked at Hirobumi Ito again.
"But what? Hirobumi Ito frowned and looked at Inoue Shin, not understanding what he was going to say.
Inoue Xin flipped through the information, then raised her head and took out a telegram from it: "This time, it is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that has a close relationship with the legations of the two countries. ”
Weng, Ito Hirobumi felt that there were a lot of bees scurrying around his ears, and it was not normal for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to move around the two countries at this time.
