Chapter 546: Striking the West
"Isn't your plan too difficult?" After Li He left, Zheng Yiqian handed the re-poured tea to Liu Junhou and quietly asked a question.
Difficulty, how could I not know that this is a bit difficult, but if this plan can be realized and bombard Tokyo, it will be a blow to the Japanese government and the people, let them know that the things under the wall back then will have to be returned sooner or later.
"Yes, but it has to be done." Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Jun replied seriously.
Zheng Yiqian saw that Liu Jun said so resolutely, and knew that he must have some major reason for doing so, but when she saw that Liu Jun had already picked up the tea, she knew that he would not give the answer, so Zheng Yiqian could only sigh, hoping that Li He could fight the battle that Liu Jun had explained.
Admiralty, since Liu Jun came back, Li He didn't even go home, so he went straight back to the headquarters office, and asked Yan Fu, the deputy minister of the Navy who immediately stayed in the Admiralty, to call and tell Yan Fu what Liu Jun meant. Let him analyze it.
"Commander, why did the marshal remember to let us shell Tokyo?" After listening to Li He's story, Yan Fu lowered his head and thought for a while and asked.
Li He didn't know how to answer this reason, but he knew that this was an order given by Liu Jun, without Liu Jun, there would be no current Beiyang Naval Division, and there would be no Liaodong Navy that is now dominating Asia. Therefore, Liu Jun's order must be executed, and the question is, how to carry it out.
So far, I have said that I have learned only about the United Fleet running between Vladivostok and Japan, and I do not know the specific situation and whether there is a naval presence of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the vicinity of Tokyo waters.
Yan Fu's estimation is to see Li He's estimate, as the saying goes, the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, and now Liaodong has enough grain and grass, that is, in this intelligence, the Admiralty is not very clear at present.
"Commander, do you want to go to the Intelligence Bureau and ask them to check it."
Yan Fu's words reminded Li He at once, Li He nodded, and stood up from the chair: "I'll go find Zhong Lin." After saying that, Li He turned around and walked out.
The time from the Admiralty to the Intelligence Directorate was not very long.
When Li He arrived at the Admiralty, he saw Zhong Lin picking up a document and walking out.
Strange thing, this guy is usually by Liu Jun's side, why did he live and go out at this time, Li He, who thought of this, took a few steps forward: "Zhong Lin, where are you going?" ”
Zhong Lin, who was walking with his head down, looked up and saw that it was Li He, and immediately smiled, and patted the document he picked up: "It's just right, where did I go to you." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, he happily pulled Liu Jun into the Intelligence Bureau.
It turned out that after Li He left, Liu Jun ordered Zhong Lin to sort out whether there was a naval patrol fleet in Tokyo, so after Zhong Lin came back, he sorted out the recent information on Tokyo and prepared to send it to Li He. ”
Seeing where Li He was flipping through, Zhong Lin said again: "Originally, in the area of Tokyo Bay, there was a cruiser of the United Fleet. Three torpedo cruisers are said to have formed a patrol, but after the battle at Vladivostok, due to the heavy damage suffered by the Combined Fleet, this fleet has been incorporated into the operational sequence, and, due to the recent withdrawal of Japanese troops in Korea, there is now no Combined Fleet in the Tokyo area, and some are a few small gunboats of the West Sea Fleet. ”
The West Sea Fleet, something not to worry about, when he heard that there was only the West Sea Fleet in the Tokyo generation, Li He's heart fell a lot.
Over the years, the Combined Fleet has been replenished on a large scale, but the West Sea Fleet is the only one that uses the junk used by the Combined Fleet. And in the West Sea Fleet, there are also warships built thirty years ago, the kind of warships that cannot withstand a single shell from the current Liaodong armored cruisers, so they have to be silent.
"What else does the marshal have to explain?" Li He knew that if it was just to send intelligence, there would be no need for Zhong Lin at all, only by handing this document to an intelligence officer, it would be possible, and this time Zhong Lin was actually going to go to himself in person, Li He knew that Zhong Lin definitely had a message.
Can't hide anything from Li He, Zhong Lin smiled, indeed, he went to find Li He, it was indeed because Liu Jun wanted to bring his own words, so that Li He could attack Tokyo Bay and reduce his losses.
With a slight smile, Zhong Lin stood up and walked to Li He's side: "Let me tell you that you can attack the Tsarist fleet in Tokyo Bay." ”
Using the Tsarist fleet, Li He didn't understand what this meant, so he looked at Zhong Lin with a puzzled expression, hoping that he could still have a follow-up, but after waiting for nearly a minute, he didn't see Zhong Lin talking, and he knew in his heart that there must be no follow-up.
"Nothing?" Li He asked with a puzzled expression.
"No, but let me tell you, the sound is blowing."
Forget it, it seems that there is no news here, Li He decided to meet the Admiralty and let Yan Fu analyze it.
Yan Fu is an outstanding graduate of the Royal Naval Academy in the United Kingdom, and his grades are better than those of Liu Buyun and others who have died, and his head will not be stupid.
That is, taking advantage of the fact that the Tsarist fleet wanted to urgently take back Vladivostok, he satisfied him and asked the Beiyang Naval Division in Weihai to go around Vladivostok with the Tsarist fleet, and he himself led the Beiyang Naval Division or the German fleet to secretly enter the Japanese waters, enter the vicinity of Tokyo, and shell the city of Tokyo.
He believed that the Japanese Combined Fleet could never have dreamed that this time, the real killer weapon was not the Tsarist Russian Liaodong Combined Fleet going to Vladivostok, but the two battleships of his own Beiyang Naval Division and the German fleet.
"Dashuai is really smart." With a slight smile, Li He stood up suddenly, and now he understood what Zhong Lin told him.
The main force is all out, but not for Vladivostok, but for Tokyo.
"Go and call Deputy Commander William, let him come for a while, let's discuss it, make a plan, this time, we will come to Japan to give a big gift."
Excited, Liu Jun's task, although it is a little difficult, Li He is still willing to accept it, after all, the shame back then, he has to pay it back.
