Chapter 510: Hawaiian Lease

In the Lushun headquarters, Liu Jun put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at the time hanging on the wall, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. looked back at Zhong Lin, who was sitting next to him: "Li He has set off, right?" ”

"Departure, half an hour ago, it was already departure." Zhong Lin nodded. Answered Liu Jun seriously.

That's good, Liu Jun nodded, looked at Zhong Lin and said, "Let your intelligence department, Japan watch closely in the past two days, and if there is any change, report back immediately." ”

Although Liu Jun analyzed that Japan would not attack Lushun, he was not afraid of 10,000, afraid of what if, if Japan really attacked desperately, it would be a loss for himself.

Although, in terms of the coastal defense of Lushun and the Janissaries stationed around Lushun, the Japanese army could not shake even if a division came, but this would inevitably cause panic and frighten the people.

"Don't worry, I've ordered the intelligence station to keep an eye on you."

For Zhong Lin to be in charge of the Intelligence Bureau. Liu Jun is 10,000 assured, after all, there are some things that Zhong Lin will do without him explaining.

I was about to make a small talk. Liu Jun saw an intelligence officer walk in and hand a telegram to Zhong Lin.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Zhong Lin didn't speak for a long time, Liu Jun stood up from his chair and asked.

"Head, Nanyang Telegraph."

Nanyang, Liu Jun frowned, and suddenly relaxed, he remembered that Nanyang did have an intelligence, and it was about the navy, about the naval base.

As early as two years ago, Liu Jun had begun to prepare to find a anchorage for the Beiyang Navy Division in the open sea, and the first target, he aimed at Hawaii, at this time, Hawaii has not yet been annexed by the United States, but an independent kingdom, the Kingdom of Hawaii, and the current king is the Queen of Hawaii.

Since last year, Liu Jun has given Zhong Lin an order, that is, at all costs, he must be in Hawaii, whether it is robbed, bought, or leased, anyway, he wants to get a hole card in Hawaii to build a naval base.

Hawaii, now all countries still can't see its importance, but Liu Jun knows that this place, later by the United States Channing, the Chinese Navy stuck to death. Immobile.

"What to say." Liu Jun, who reacted, walked in front of Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin handed the telegram to Liu Jun and said, "The queen's consent is consent, but he has one condition. ”

What conditions, as long as she is willing to give, ask for money to give money, and ask for a man to give a man. Liu Jun identified the fat sheep of Hawaii anyway.

Regarding the telegram handed by Zhong Lin, Liu Jun has always not read it, just listen to Zhong Lin.

From Zhong Lin's words, Liu Jun learned that the request of the Queen of Hawaii was not a requirement, that is, to train 5,000 guards for the Queen of Hawaii, and the equipment should be provided by Liaodong free of charge. In addition, Hawaii had to train 10,000 troops.

It's a piece of cake, as long as you can get this piece of feng shui treasure, let alone train this little army, even if the Hawaii Kingdom is safe for Liaodong to protect from now on, it will not hesitate. "Call back to the Ministry of Intelligence, agree, and in addition, to show my sincerity, give the Kingdom of Hawaii a torpedo cruiser and two torpedo boats." Smiling slightly, Liu Jun snapped his fingers, indicating that this matter was completely agreeable.

"Okay, I'll deal with it right away." Zhong Lin closed his notebook, turned around and walked out.

Seeing Zhong Lin go out, Zheng Yiqian, who was working on the side, walked up to Liu Jun, thought for a while and said: "Hawaii has a good relationship with the United States, and you are not afraid of the United States if you do this." ”

"It doesn't matter, the United States is not enough right now." Smiling slightly, Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian and said.

Liu Jun knows very well that the reason why the United States was able to gain a foothold in later generations was basically to obtain the largest capital by relying on World War I and World War, and this arms deal was a big head, but now, this big head has been won by himself, and every year, the arms trade exported from Liaodong can have a year's income from the imperial court.

Well, since Liu Jun said so, Zheng Yiqian couldn't say anything, so she could only return to her position. Handle your own documents.

Tokyo, Japan, Prime Minister's Office, Ito Hirobumi held a telegram in his hand and sat quietly on a chair, this telegram was handed over by Inoue Xin an hour ago, that is, the news that the Beiyang Navy Division had gone south.

Hey, sighing, Ito Hirobumi put the telegram on the table and rubbed his temple with his hand, he finally knew a Chinese sentence. Don't miss the opportunity and never come again,

Now the opportunity to attack Lushun, but you can only watch it be lost, which is a pain. A kind of sadness.

He didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, but in the face of the current situation in Japan, Ito Hirobumi could only raise the chopsticks in his hand in the face of this good fat, but he couldn't start. For him, it was worse than death.

Damn, with a low curse in his heart, Ito Hirobumi stood up, and he went to the Minister of the Navy to ask how far the strength of the Combined Fleet had recovered now.

In the first battle of Vladivostok, four battleships of the empire were sunk and damaged, and the Mikasa is still being repaired in Vladivostok. In a word, heavy losses.

An hour later, Ito Hirobumi returned to the Prime Minister's Office with a dead face, and from the Minister of the Navy, he already knew that now, the Imperial Combined Fleet was simply not capable of carrying out a sneak attack.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, call from Vladivostok." Shortly after he sat down, Inoue walked in and handed Ito a telegram.

Vladivostok's telegram, what is it, Ito Hirobumi stood up at once, took the telegram from the table and looked at it.

To resend it, it's only a long time, and it needs to be resent again. Ito Hirobumi frowned suddenly.

"The prince telegraphed that now the two armies drawn by Tsarist Russia in Europe have passed the Ural Mountains, and in order to be able to meet these two armies, the prince hopes that he can send supplies before the arrival of these two armies."

"You can do it." Hirobumi Ito said helplessly.

More than 100,000 people, how many materials are needed, Ito Hirobumi has a headache when he thinks about this matter, since the first noon, although the empire has been storing war materials, but it is only for Liaodong, but who would have thought that now, the empire will go to war with Tsarist Russia and Liaodong Germany all of a sudden, and the items consumed are three times as much as usual.

If the threefold battle continues, then in the future, when the decisive battle with Liaodong continues, the soldiers will face the danger of running out of ammunition, and once that time comes, the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly reduced.

What should be done to alleviate this dilemma, Ito Hirobumi fell into deep thought.
