The electric light was turned off, and the study suddenly fell into darkness, Liu Jun sat in the dark room, he felt that what Zheng Yiqian said was not wrong, how the Japanese were evaluating, how to brush up the conspiracy, there would always be flaws, and in these aspects, Zhong Lin's intelligence bureau was the best digger, Liu Jun, who wanted to understand, nodded slightly, stood up and took advantage of the black light to blind the way, touched Zheng Yiqian's bed and lay down.

In Tokyo, Ito Hirobumi's heart has not been calm since Ito sent someone to the United States, and now the problem of the warship has been solved, but another problem is like a big stone in his heart.

The agreement with Liaodong is about to expire, and the remaining time will probably be the most difficult time for Japan, and the key problem now is that North Korea, so far, has no reinforcements, and uses 50,000 troops to fight against Ding Ruchang's more than 100,000 troops.

The current Liaodong Army is not the Qing army of ten years ago, which is vulnerable, but the Liaodong Army, which can enter the top ten in the world in terms of training and equipment.

However, now, Ito Hirobumi is indifferent to Nogi Nishinori's urgent telegrams again and again, hoping to reinforce North Korea, not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't send even a brigade of troops......

At present, the main force of the troops has been completely pressed in the Far East of Tsarist Russia, and there are still seven or eight divisions in Japan itself. This was used to defend the homeland, once these divisions were transferred to Korea, the Japanese mainland would be empty, and at that time, Liaodong abandoned Korea, but looked for the combined fleet to fight and then aimed the spearhead at the Japanese mainland, even if he was seppuku, he could not wash away his sins.

However, now that the armistice agreement between Liaodong and itself is about to expire, if Korea is not reinforced, then the 50,000 army will definitely be crushed under the pressure of Ding Ruchang's army, and there will not even be bones left, and it is even possible that these 50,000 troops will be driven into the danger of being driven into the sea.

Whether it should be adjusted or not, Hirobumi Ito is about to collapse.

With a squeak, Hirobumi Ito, who was standing in front of the window, turned around, and he saw Inoue Shin walking in from outside.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister. His Excellency Nogi Nishinori of Korea wants us to send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Here it is again, it has only been less than two days, and this is already the third telegram, Ito Hirobumi slapped his head in remorse, returned to his place and sat down to take the telegram from Inoue Shin.

"Why does he have to send reinforcements all the time?" Stunned, Ito asked a pig-like question.

This question is too low-level, and it is clear that the armistice agreement between Liaodong and himself will end soon, and Nogi Nishinori, who is in Seoul, North Korea, can't sit still, hoping to get reinforcements, but Inoue Xin is a smart person, if he dares to say it, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will go home to retire.

After bowing her head and pondering for a few moments, Inoue Xin stepped forward and said: "According to intelligence, the Liaodong Ding Ruchang Department in Pyongyang has been moving frequently recently. There is a great tendency to move towards the front-line positions of our army. ”

Although this is similar to the meaning above, it does save Ito Hirobumi's face, Ito Hirobumi knew that there was a problem when he asked that sentence, but when he saw Inoue Shin say this, he immediately nodded, got up from the chair, and began to walk back and forth in the room.

"Do you think we should send troops to North Korea?" Turning around a few times like a headless fly, Hirobumi Ito turned around and asked Inoue Shin next to him.

This one? Inoue didn't expect Hirobumi Ito to ask such words. To be sure, he hoped to be able to move troops into North Korea to assist Nogi Nishinori, but the reality was cruel. Inoue Xin knows very well that the troops in Japan cannot move now, and the troops in the Far East of Tsarist Russia cannot be withdrawn.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, at the moment we simply don't have any troops to mobilize." Inoue Xin thought about it for a while, but still replied honestly.

If there are no soldiers to send, can the 50,000 troops of North Korea be eaten alive by Ding Ruchang. When Ito Hirobumi heard this, he suddenly thought sadly.

Maybe Inoue Shin saw what Ito Hirobumi meant, lowered his head and thought for a while, he stepped forward and said cautiously: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, your subordinates have an idea when they arrive?" ”

Okay, when is it, what else are you going to buy, Ito Hirobumi waved his hand, returned to his position and said after sitting down: "Tell me about it." ”

Inouue's attention is actually very simple, and that is a few words.

Abandon North Korea. All North Korean troops were withdrawn to the mainland and used in the defense of the homeland in the near future.

Abandoning North Korea? When Ito Hirobumi heard this, he almost threw the documents on the table on Inoue's head, North Korea, where he has occupied it for ten years, he will give up if he gives up, how can he explain to the emperor, to the Japanese people, and to the cabinet.

"Inoue-kun, are you sure you don't have a cold?" Ito Hirobumi looked at Inoue Shin suspiciously, and asked lightly.

Inoue knew that Ito would make such a move after hearing the news, but instead of being afraid, he stepped forward and said.

"Your Excellency, now that we are in the Far East, where more than 100,000 people are being dragged and cannot move, and the German army of 50,000 has recently been urgently mobilized by Liu Jun in Tianjin, Jiangsu, and Henan troops are rapidly gathering in Tianjin. Lianyungang, Weihai and other places. All the Qin situation is on the surface, and Liu Jun will launch an attack on our homeland. And we now have only seven divisions in Japan, and these seven divisions are the minimum number of troops we can defend our homeland, and if we move troops such as Korea, then our homeland defense will be weakened. Once Liu Jun launches a local attack on our Japanese Empire, we will fall into passivity, and even if we send one or two divisions into Korea, it will be a drop in the bucket, and we will not be able to reach the strength of the First Corps of Liaodong at all, and we will still be passive. Saying this, Inoue Shin saw that Ito Hirobumi no longer had the anger just now, and said again.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we know best the situation of the Combined Fleet now, with the current strength, it is simply impossible to compete with Beiyang, let alone the German fleet now stationed in Liaodong and the upcoming Tsarist fleet. Once Liaodong makes a move and attacks our combined fleet, then the 50,000 troops in Korea will not be able to withdraw, and they can only fight with their backs. ”

A hiss wakes up the dreamer. When Ito Hirobumi heard Inoue's analysis, he immediately closed his angry eyes and began to recall Inoue's words in his heart. Listening to this meaning, it is to withdraw troops, and I am afraid that the only way out.
