Liu Jun is indeed not in a hurry, North Korea's Ding Ruchang called last night, and the First Corps and Qin Liang's North Korean Corps are ready for battle. The supplies are ready to stop, in a nutshell, as long as you can give the order, then the hundreds of thousands of North Korean troops will be able to fully exchange fire with the Japanese army within two days.

In terms of the navy, the cooperation and training between the Beiyang Naval Division and the German Far East Fleet are also very harmonious, and they are completely capable of fighting the Combined Fleet after the start of the war.

The sea and land are ready to stop, and now they are just waiting for the opportunity, and this time is in no hurry, so we can only wait.

"Japan has never accepted credit, and during this period of time it has been unusually calm in the North Korean area, except for the transfer of a brigade some time ago, there has been no movement, you see if there is any conspiracy." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, saw that Liu Jun had stopped discussing Japan's purchase of warships, and immediately said another consideration of herself.

For Zheng Yiqian's worries, Liu Jun is not unaware, in the past few days, he has also been thinking about such a problem, the Japanese are famous in the world for their shamelessness, although they are also a little insidious, but if they don't compare their credit with the Japanese, then they are a good person, and Japan, this dog, maybe they will be treacherous and give themselves a knife in North Korea.

"Don't be afraid, I only owe Dongfeng everything when I have everything, he Japanese want to play, and I will accompany him to the end."

"Head, I'm not afraid of 10,000 in case, I think it's better to pay attention, and it will be troublesome to be caught off guard when the time comes." Seeing that Liu Jun was so confident, Zhong Lin stepped forward and muttered.

Okay, Liu Jun will listen, although Zhong Lin's words sound like he doesn't believe himself, but Zhong Lin is also right, North Korea's troops can't be on alert every day, and their guns are always in their hands, after all, soldiers are also people, they need to rest, and it is not a good thing for anyone to choose one by one every day: "Your intelligence bureau is good at this matter, you can do it." ”

As time passed, Liu Jun was waiting for Moscow's recovery, agreeing, in Japan's Tokyo Prime Minister's Office, Ito Hirobumi was also waiting for the reply of the ambassador to the United States.

After he learned that the United States was going to sell warships that day, Ito Hirobumi explained all the matters to the ambassador to the United States, and now nearly five days have passed, and there is still no news, which makes Ito Hirobumi as uncomfortable as an ant on a hot pot.

There was a creak, and the door to the Prime Minister's Office was pushed open. Whenever this voice sounded, Ito Hirobumi, who was in the chair, would stand up and see who was coming in, whether it was news from the United States.

It was still Inoue Shin who came in, but what made Ito Hirobumi feel puzzled today was that Inoue Shin obviously had some anger and shame on her face.

What's the situation? Hirobumi Ito frowned and looked at Inoue with a puzzled expression.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there is news from the US side, and they have agreed to sell us warships."

Finally came to the news, these days, I don't think about it, I just hope to get the news.

"Great." Hirobumi Ito smiled happily, but immediately, he stopped looking at Inoue with joy: "What, what's wrong?" ”

Yes, the big problem is that the United States hopes that Japan will be able to pay in cash, and pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time, but where can Japan get so much money now?

"Prime Minister, they want us to be able to get cash."

Cash, as soon as he heard this, Ito Hirobumi's eyes widened.

, Lao Tzu has so much cash to find you now, Ito Hirobumi can't wait to swallow the United States alive, what's the difference between this and robbery This, this matter, I resolutely can't agree.

"Tell the ambassador to the United States that we can't pay so much money at the moment, and they want to agree to our tariff mortgage for the next ten years, and if we don't, then the deal will not be discussed."

On the side, Inoue Shin's mouth opened wide, he didn't expect Ito Hirobumi to give such an order, originally thought that Ito Hirobumi would convene a cabinet meeting to decide this matter, but now, he didn't expect the prime minister to give an order so quickly. However, he himself was very happy to hear the news, after all, Japan does not have so much money now, and if Ito Hirobumi has to take the money, then I am afraid it will only be about selling the palace.

There is no way to do it, and Ito Hirobumi doesn't want to make such a decision in his heart, but the warship is important, and Japan's stability is also important, and if the time comes, because of the increase in taxes and others, then for himself. I am afraid that it will fall from the sky to the earth, and then I will never be reviled by the people of the country.

It's better to die early than later, and Ito Hirobumi can be regarded as fighting.

"My subordinates understand." Inoue nodded, turned and walked out.

There was a crisp snap, and after Inoue went out, Ito Hirofumi slammed the document in his hand on the table and said viciously: "Shameless." ”

Shameless, Ito Hirobumi also said this, if there is no Liu Jun's appearance, he is afraid that he will avoid the United States even more shamelessly, and will force Li Hongzhang to sign a treaty at Maguan. A treaty that made Li Hongzhang unable to close his eyes even when he died.

Maybe the Americans are strong in the middle, and they are very tough in their mouths, that is, they see money and get goods, but when Japan is worth it as an ultimatum. The United States convened a meeting that evening and again put forward a motion, that is, in view of Japan's current situation, it would first take out one-third of the money, and the rest should be pledged with tariffs in accordance with Japan's proposal.

It's a pity, the big hole that Liu Jun dug this time made the United States jump down all of a sudden, and when the United States reacted, it was too late. In the eyes of the United States, Liaodong, Germany, and Tsarist Russia fought against Japan in order to gain benefits from Japan, but they did not expect that these two countries and Liaodong, which was separated by one country, were to make Japan disappear completely.

Wrong judgment, causing the United States to make wrong decisions. This time, the United States can be regarded as planted.

After the U.S. ambassador to the U.S. sent the information to the U.S. Foreign Ministry that evening, the U.S. convened a meeting the next day and made a decision on the third day to agree to Japan's agreement.

In Tokyo, the fierce slogan once again reached Ito's ears, but today, he always felt that the slogan sounded very comfortable.

Now he is picking up a telegram in his hand, and this telegram is the telegram that the United States agreed to sell warships to Japan, with a down payment of 10 million pounds, and Japan can still take out this money.

"Look at it." With a hint of a smile, Ito handed the telegram in his hand to the commander of the Combined Fleet, Sukehiro Ito, who had been urgently summoned.

Ito Yuhiro has been in Nagasaki, and after receiving the order, he rushed to the movement non-stop, but as soon as he arrived, he had not had time to drink a sip of water, and was received by the prime minister's chamberlain from the prime minister's office, saying that there was an urgent matter to discuss.

Something, Ito Yuhiro took the telegram from Ito Hirobumi and looked at it.
