In Arthur City, the sun shines on the ground, and the heat waves are clearly visible.

"It's so hot." Liu Jun, who wore short sleeves and felt sweaty, kept shaking the paper fan in his hand. I want to drive away the heat and the temperature is a little excessive.

"Come, a glass of water won't be hot." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, looked at Liu Jun very uncomfortable like that, and walked in front of Liu Jun after picking up a cup of herbal tea from the side.

In this weather, let alone drinking tea, even holding ice cubes in his mouth is not relieved, but in order not to make it difficult for Zheng Yiqian, Liu Jun still obediently took the teacup and drank the water in a few gulps.

"Zhong Lin, the arms have been shipped." Putting the empty teacup aside, Liu Jun asked, Zhong Lin, who was standing next to him and kept biting on the apple, asked.

"Head, it has been shipped, it is estimated that in two days, this batch of materials will be able to fully reach Zhao Erfeng's hands" As soon as Liu Jun asked him about the arms, Zhong Lin immediately stuffed the remaining apples into his mouth and muttered in response.

That's good, with this answer, the stone in Liu Jun's heart can be regarded as completely grounded.

Now, since the imperial court has intervened in the Tibet issue, he is not too worried about it for the time being, after all, he has already done what he should do, if Zhao Erfeng can't suppress the rebellion in Tibet, then he can only mobilize the army again and take Yunnan.

"By the way, has Vidoev come to Wu Tingfang these days to discuss the mooring of their fleet?" Liu Jun, who lowered his head and thought about it for a few moments, suddenly remembered that the European fleet of Tsarist Russia had already set off and was heading here.

Hehe, as soon as he heard Zhong Lin's laughter, Liu Jun knew that Vidoev not only came to look for him, but also looked for it more than once.

Sure enough, from Zhong Lin's mouth, Liu Jun knew that in the past few days, Vidoev had been running to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs almost every day, and even sometimes took Klinder to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together, after all, Germany had found a place to anchor, but the Tsarist fleet had not.

Hearing that Vidoyev actually called Klinde, one can imagine how anxious Nicholas II in Moscow was.

"What, did Vidoev agree that we would work together to defend the Twin Cities? : Liu Jun, who understood everything, asked lightly. "No, but just yesterday we intercepted a telegram from Vidoyev to Moscow, and from the telegram, he has already conveyed our meaning to Moscow, and if it is fast, it is estimated that there will be news today." Zhong Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, and told Liu Jun the latest situation.

Generating electricity to Moscow was forced by Vidoev, and these days, he has been running to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every day, hoping to complete the task assigned by the tsar and find a good anchorage for the fleet coming from afar.

Vidoyev also knew in his heart that the best anchoring place was Lushun or Weihai, and there was no suitable place for it, so after receiving the order, he came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that afternoon to negotiate with Wu Tingfang, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Liaodong.

It is clear that Liaodong not only enters Boli, but also wants to enter Shuangchengzi, for this matter. Vidoev, of course, was not pleased, but Moscow sent telegrams every day to urge. He didn't have any way but to send the Liaodong side to Moscow last night. As for how Moscow answers, that's not something he can know.

In the Russian Legation, Vidoyev opened a bottle of vodka alone, filled the wine glass on the table, and then swallowed the wine in one gulp.

He had a fire in his heart. This fire, on the whole, was burned in Liaodong, and even more so in Moscow. He blamed Moscow a little, obviously knowing that the European fleet was going to call at Liu Jun's port when it arrived in Asia, and he was entangled in the issue of Boli, and refused to let go of the Liaodong Army to enter. I have to let Liaodong get stuck in his neck to be happy.

Squeak, the door was opened, Vidoev, who was sitting on the sofa, squinted his eyes and saw that it was his assistant, the counselor of the legation, who came in.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty calls back." The counselor walked up to Vidoev and, after frowning a little in disgust, handed the telegram in his hand to Vidoyev.

Vidoev did not dare to disrespect the Tsar's telegram, and immediately he put the glass on the table, and then took it from the counselor.

The telegram was short, only two words, agreed.

Well, Vidoev had only one comment on this telegram in his heart.

I snorted coldly in my heart. Vidoev glanced at the counselor standing in front of him: "You go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Liaodong and tell Wu Tingfang that my country agrees, and the two armies will assist in the defense of Shuangchengzi, Boli." ”

At the Lushun Headquarters, the sky is getting dark. After reading the last document on the table, Liu Jun looked up at the time, then put the pen in his hand on the table, took his cloak from the side, and prepared to leave the headquarters.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Wu Tingfang, accompanied by Zhong Lin, walking through the corridor outside to where he was.

"Head, Tsarist Russia agreed to our request, and asked again where they would be stationed when they arrived." Zhong Lin, who walked in front of Liu Jun in a few steps, happily told Liu Jun who was puzzled.

agreed, Liu Jun frowned, lowered his head and thought twice: "Call back to Vidoev and let them enter Weihai after the fleet arrives." ”

Let the Tsarist fleet enter Weihai, Liu Jun actually had considerations.

First, Weihai now, although there are very few warships of the Beiyang Naval Division in it, but the coastal defense batteries there are much stronger than Lushun, after all, where was the Beiyang Naval Division's Admiral's Mansion back then, the batteries on both sides, just more than 150 mm artillery, there are more than 30 meters, and even, there are seven 200 mm coastal defense ships ordered by Liu Jun from Germany later, he believes that even if the Tsarist Russian fleet enters Weihai, he does not dare to say evil, after all, the hundreds of artillery guns in the fort are not vegetarian.

And the second reason, that is, it has something to do with Germany, although now Germany and Russia have the same purpose with themselves, that is, to carve up Japan, but in all fairness, Germany and Tsarist Russia still can't pee in the same cup, therefore, Liu Jun doesn't want the two fleets to reconcile, and even in his heart, he has already thought that after the arrival of the Tsarist fleet, he will transfer a few capital ships from the Beiyang Naval Division into Weihai, and form the Second Fleet with the Tsarist Russian fleet in Weihai, and the Beiyang Naval Division and the German fleet in Lushun will form the First Fleet. Immediately after the sweep of the Combined Fleet, the Japanese mainland attack was carried out and occupied.

"Okay." Zhong Lin nodded, and after glancing at Liu Jun, he stepped forward and asked again: "Head, do you want to send electricity to Feng Guozhang and prepare to cross the Ussuri River."

What is necessary, Liu Jun nodded fiercely, after all, this kind of opportunity is rare
