Chapter 449: Vomiting Blood of Qi

There was a bang, and then a black figure rushed in, and Clinde, who was eating morning tea, was stunned for a moment, and finally he saw clearly that the person who rushed in was actually his nephew Eiffel.

Cowardly, without a bit of military temperament, after a hundred glances at Eiffel, Clinder put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up, preparing to educate this indisputable one.

"Uncle, the Kaiser calls back."

Smack, Klinde, who was about to scold, heard the Kaiser's reply, and snatched the telegram from Eiffel at once.

"Good, good." After a few good words in a row, Clinder drank the wine that was placed on the table in one gulp.

Liu Jun's analysis is very accurate, after the successful explosion of the Wilhelm sent back by Klinde, the Kaiser immediately ordered a declaration of war on Japan, but at this time, the people in the think tank once again suggested that they should wait for a few days, and how to declare war should also wait until after Tsarist Russia declared war. So this matter dragged on and on, almost breaking Clinder, and almost breaking down the ambassador to Japan.

Now that Tsarist Russia had declared war on Japan, it had reached Europe, with the addition of Clinder's telegram. Without any hesitation and without verification, the Kaiser immediately ordered that the declaration of war against Japan and the edict of declaration of war had been sent to Klinder in its entirety for him to be forwarded to the embassy in Japan.

"Immediately send a telegram to the ambassador to Japan, and after issuing a declaration of war in its original form, evacuate Japan and come to Lushun." In addition to the excitement, Clinder did not forget to ask Eiffel to send the declaration of war quickly, after all, what is needed now is time.

Tokyo, Japan. Ito Hirobumi stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the door downstairs motionless, since he got the Tsarist Russia's declaration of war, Ito Hirobumi immediately convened an emergency meeting and reported the matter to the emperor, the situation is not optimistic, the emperor and several members of the cabinet believe that it is not time to go to war with Tsarist Russia. It was hoped that Tsarist Russia would be able to stop declaring war.

However, this is easier said than done, the Russian ambassador left on the day of the declaration of war, and he asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to go around, and even went to the British and French embassies in person, hoping that the two countries could mediate, but the results were not very satisfactory, and both countries said that they would do their best.

Hey, Ito Hirobumi is secretly complaining in his heart now, he finally understands what it was like for Li Hongzhang to be closed to mediation when he faced himself with a war a few years ago.

A slight sound of the door opening interrupted Ito's train of thought, and when he looked back, the person who came in was Inoue Shin.

Just in case, these days, he asked Inoue Xin to check whether Japan's finances could be maintained until the end of the war if there was a war with Tsarist Russia and Liu Jun at the same time. "How?" Seeing Inoue Shin walking in front of him, Ito Hirobumi asked excitedly.

It is not optimistic, and from the fact that Inoue Xin bowed his head and did not speak for a long time, Ito Hirobumi knew that Japan's finances might not be able to meet the needs of a war against the two countries now.

"Say, I'm prepared?" Hirobumi Ito sighed. Looking at Inoue Shin who was standing in front of him.

With a snap, Inoue Xin took out the document and looked at it: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, if we are warned by Tsarist Russia and Liu Jun at the same time, our finances will only be able to last for half a year, and after half a year, if we do not defeat one of the parties, then our Japan will fall into a state of no return."

Half a year, it would be good to have half a year, Ito Hirobumi is still very optimistic about this number in his heart, after all, in the past few days, he has thought of a way to extricate Japan from this crisis, that is, to declare war on Tsarist Russia, but when the time comes, he will only fight Russia, and not attack Liaodong.

Liaodong has a strong army, and the Liaodong army is very familiar with itself, and it is better to fight a fierce opponent than to fight a weak opponent.

Although Tsarist Russia looks strong on the surface, in fact, except for those cavalry, the rest, not to mention Ito Hirobumi, even some Japanese soldiers, did not look at the Russian soldiers.

For Liu Jun, although Ito Hirobumi doesn't know much about it, but there is one point, that is the character of people who don't offend me and I don't offend, judging from this period of time, I know that Liu Jun doesn't want to fight, otherwise, he wouldn't have declared war for so long, and he didn't launch an attack in North Korea.

This shows that as long as they don't take the initiative to attack, the Liaodong Army will definitely not take the initiative to attack.

Therefore, in Ito Hirobumi's mind, his current finances are not able to support half a year, but can support until the end of the war.

His idea was to quickly defeat Russia, then use war to raise the war, obtain resources from Russia, and then attack Liu Jun in the south.

This idea, he had already written to the emperor last night, and now he is just waiting for the emperor's results.

"Inoue-kun, don't be so pessimistic, half a year is enough." Seeing Inoue Xin, she still had a sad face. Hirobumi Ito smiled slightly and asked Inoue to sit down and say what he thought.

Good way, Inoue Xin finally understands why Ito Hirobumi has been able to be in this position for so many years, comparable to the second Li Hongzhang, and he can still come up with a way to solve such a difficult problem, which is also deservedly in the position of prime minister.

There was another clear sound, and the door was opened again, and when I looked out, the person who came in was actually the emperor's chief of guard.

For this person who is not in a high position but has to be respected, Ito Hirobumi also stood up and took on this task.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Emperor has asked me to pass on an order to agree to your plan, and ask Your Excellency the Prime Minister to immediately organize a base camp to fight against Russia, and as for Liaodong, declare war without standing."

"Please tell the emperor that his subordinates will live up to their trust." With a humming bow, Ito turned around and sent the head of the guard out.

Phew, let out a long breath, and Ito Hirobumi showed a hint of a smile. After looking at the hungry Inoue Shin standing next to him, Ito Hirofumi said lightly: "You can write a declaration of war against Tsarist Russia." ”

"My subordinates understand." Inoue Xin nodded slightly, after all, this is his forte.

Before he could speak, there was another knock on the door, only this time, apparently, not the kind of question just now, but a violent impact.

Saigo, the two who were taken aback turned around, only to see that the person who came in was actually Saigo, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Prime Minister, no, Germany has declared war on us." Saigo, who was crawling and crawling, raised the declaration of war in his hand high, and handed over a green document in his hand with a pale face.

What, Ito Hirofumi's face changed, and he grabbed the document from it and looked at it a few times.

While his lips trembled slightly, Ito Hirobumi's face began to turn pale.

Poof, what a mouthful of blood. Squirting from Hirobumi Ito's mouth.
