"Damn, let this damn one get a head start." Ignoring the blood that was pouring out of his hands. Hirobumi Ito was resentful.

The reason why he was so angry was not that he was reluctant to take those few warships, but that the plan set by himself and the cabinet was actually preempted by Liu Jun, which made him a little angry in his heart, and he couldn't figure out why Liu Jun had to do it to himself in advance.

Originally, in the meeting with the cabinet and the emperor, it was mentioned that on January 15, the combined fleet would be secretly dispatched, and then search for the patrol fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division, annihilate it, and then take the opportunity to attack the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division in Lushun. At the same time, North Korea will also attack the Liaodong Army in the north of Korea, but now, all plans have been disrupted.

What makes Ito Yuhyung even more puzzled is how much courage and charm it takes for Liu Jun to come from there, to have such courage and courage to start a war against himself and the Qing State at the same time.

Hey, in the sigh, Ito Hirobumi stood up helplessly, things are already like this, he is angry, and he can't save Japan's nationality reputation this time, after all, Liu Jun is too vicious, this is to make himself dumb and eat coptis, Youku has no way to say.

Knock knock, slight footsteps sounded, and Ito Hirobumi, who was sitting on the ground, turned his head to see that the person who came in was Inoue Xin.

An hour after Inoue returned, it was estimated that Ito Hirobumi's anger had also disappeared by half, so he had the courage to come to the Prime Minister's Office. As soon as he entered, he saw Ito Hirobumi sitting on the floor in a daze, and the whole room, literally like a garbage heap, was littered with smashed porcelain and documents.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I have urgently summoned the ministers of various countries, and I hope you can come forward to point out that this incident is fundamentally framed by someone."

Is it useful, since Liu Jun was able to summon the minister immediately after attacking him, this proves that now he has already poured this basin of dirty water on his head, and now, explaining too much by himself will cause disgust in all countries.

If a few years ago, if he hadn't suddenly attacked the Beiyang Naval Division, then now he would explain that some countries would still believe it, but now, the dirty things he once did have made Japan's status in the world plummet. Bearing the reputation of a sneak attack, now, although this time the incident was not done by himself at all, there is nothing that can explain it at all.

Hey, seeing Ito Hirobumi's expression, Inoue Xin knew that he was not willing to go, and he also knew that no one believed this explanation, but if he really didn't explain, then Japan would really be dishonest in the world.

Dead horses should be live horse doctors, Inoue Xin stepped forward and said his thoughts, that is, for the reputation of the Japanese Empire, even if he knows that countries don't believe it, but he has to explain.

Hey, sighing helplessly, Ito Hirofumi slowly got up on the grass, indeed, Inoue Xin is right, no matter how you say it, you have to come forward, otherwise, this thing, just sit down and do it yourself, then you can really jump off the Yellow River and can't wash it.

"Let's go, let's go meet the ministers of various countries." After Ito Hirobumi finished speaking, he walked out of the door weakly, got into the carriage, and walked to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not far away under the protection of the guards.

In the study of the Lushun Headquarters, Liu Junle, who was already wearing a thick cloak, was sitting by the charcoal brazier, looking at the barbecue and barbecue added on it in a daze, while Zhong Lin on the side was constantly fiddling with the wine he put inside.

Drinking wine and eating barbecue, this is basically something that Liu Jun sits on every day in winter, and many times, some major decisions will be completed here and distributed to various places.

Asking about the fragrant smell of barbecue coming from the shelf, Liu Jun took two deep breaths, took the tea handed by Zheng Yiqian, and after taking a sip, he raised his head to look at Zhong Lin on the side.

"What is the reaction of the countries?"

Reacting, Zhong Lin stopped the flask that was being turned, lowered his head and thought for a while, and took out a document from the folder next to him: "Head, according to intelligence, all countries are angry about Japan's sneak attack on the Beiyang Naval Division, claiming that Japan is despicable and shameless, and among them, Tsarist Russia is the most condemned, while Britain disappeared after just a few words in the newspaper."

Normal, all within his expectations, Liu Jun heard Zhong Lin's report and nodded slightly.

Tsarist Russia because it has territorial problems with Japan, it is simply hated to the bone, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, once and Liaodong was a tense Tsarist Russia, for the first time, standing on the side of Liaodong, strongly condemning Japan, and even making wild statements, which makes the country not worthy of staying in this world at all, this is a smear of human civilization.

Britain was originally the boss of Japan, and over the years, Britain's investment and loans to Japan were the first among all countries, and even several warships of the Combined Fleet were given to Japan by Britain free of charge.

Britain only hoped that Japan would contain Liaodong, but it also hoped that the two countries would go to war, after all, in this way, for the interests of the British Empire, it was not a point or two that was lost.

Needless to say, Germany has been secretly allied all these years, and even if he knows that this is his own hand, he will be on his side. Austria-Hungary and Italy, on the other hand, were the only ones who followed Germany. So I will also stand on my side, and now, the United States, Portugal, and Spain are silent, and both sides are not offended, and Britain and France are also in the way of relations with Japan, and they have said a few words without pain.

"Head, you already knew their reaction?" looked at Liu Jun's expression after he said the situation...... Zhong Lin touched his head. Asked suspiciously.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Liu Jun nodded, turned around and put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table on the side.

Immortal, Zhong Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he didn't expect that the reaction of various countries would be so accurate.

"By the way, now that we have shifted the matter of the Liefei Islands to Japan, do you think we will take this opportunity to declare war on Japan and let Ding Ruchang attack Yangkou?" Zhong Lin said here, taking out the map from the side, after all, now in North Korea, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides have been eyeing the border for so long, and it should be time to vent and solve.

Liu Jun also considered declaring war, he would not declare war on Japan first, after all, he declared war himself, and the time had not yet come, because now all parts of Liaodong have not yet known about Japan's despicable and shameless behavior, and declaring war at this time will not be supported at all, and it will even cause a bad impact. If you declare war on Japan, you have absolutely the reasons, but if you don't get the support of the people, it's an unjust war, and if you don't get support, you will have a hard time.

"There will be no declaration of war for the time being, but Ding Ruchang can be reminded that once the Japanese Army is found to have moved, he can directly decide to go to war."

"You mean, not declaring war is the same as declaring war." Zheng Yiqian on the side understood Liu Jun's words, and asked with a slight smile.

With this meaning, Liu Jun smiled slightly: "Yes, although there is no war declared outside, it does not mean that there will be no war." After all, in later generations, he fought with the Japanese for several years before declaring war, and he just postponed the declaration of war, or let Japan declare war after declaring war, at this time he could tell the people of Liaodong and the world, I don't want to fight, I love peace, but I was forced by Japan and had to fight.

Calculation, everything is calculation, Zheng Yiqian shook her head helplessly, she didn't know what Liu Jun had done to Japan.

There was a squeak, and before Zheng Yiqian came back to his senses, they were pushed away, and the three of them fixed their eyes to see that the person who came in was actually a middle-aged man dressed in gray and white people, Liu Jun and Zhong Lin looked at each other, they knew that the person dressed as a common person was not a common person, but the second-in-command of Zheng Yiqian's secret supervision bureau.

Something must have happened, otherwise, this second-in-command, who has been patrolling various places outside, will not return to Lushun easily.
