Nanming Daily's report on the Black Dragon Army made Tsarist Russia lose face at the same time, but also made the entire Dongjiaomin Lane embassy area busy, and Tsarist Russian Minister Geers also became the focus of the incident again, and even Li Hongzhang, who was nearly eighty years old, had to rush to the Tsarist Embassy as soon as possible.

However, the Dongying Embassy, which is also located in the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane, fell into an eerie calm.

Of course, calm does not mean that they don't care, it's just more secretly brewing, and because of the report of the Black Dragon Army, early this morning, one of Dongying's intelligence chiefs in China, Zong Fang Dalang, secretly entered the Dongying Embassy.

Munakata Dairo, born in 1864, is a descendant of Dongying Fei, Huaxia Tong, and one of the advocates of the East Asian Alliance.

In 1886, Zong was ordered to come to China by order of the spy department of the Dongying Staff Headquarters, and set up a trading agency in Hankou, Leshantang, under the cover of dealing in eye drops, books, and groceries, and set up an espionage network all over major cities in China.

During his stay in Yantai, he discovered the departure time of the Beiyang Fleet in Weihai, which enabled the Dongying Combined Fleet to ambush near Dadonggou on the Hwanghae Road of Goryeo in advance to prepare for the world's first ironclad fleet Armageddon.

Toei Army General Honjo Shigeru commented on this and said, "He has made a great contribution to the monarchy. ”

It should be said that Munakata Dairo was one of the early intelligence giants of Toei in China, although his status was much lower than that of Toei's envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Komura Shoutaro, but because of his identity as the intelligence chief, Munakata's arrival was warmly received by Komura Shoutaro, and then entered the secret room to negotiate.

"Mr. Zongfang, what do you think of this incident?"

Since the ministerial meeting a week ago, after being jointly suppressed by ministers from Britain, France, Russia and other countries, Komura Shoutaro has had a hard time, this is known as one of the most outstanding diplomats in Dongying, nicknamed Minister Rat, has been doing a very good job in China, however, the joint suppression of Britain, France and Russia has made him fall into a low point in his life, and he almost did not even keep his post as minister.

"Your Excellency, regarding the Nanming Times incident, I have reported the information in detail to the Army General Staff Headquarters." Zongfang Dalang said: "As for my personal opinion, I think this is an opportunity, of course, provided that we need to confirm whether the Black Dragon Army is really so powerful. ”

"Oh, what chance?" Komura Shoutaro was a little puzzled.

"Hehe, why should the minister ask knowingly, the joint suppression of Britain, France and Russia has caused us to only be able to watch from the wall on the issue of the three eastern provinces, but this is obviously only temporary, according to my analysis, Britain and France must not know the true situation of the Black Dragon Army in advance, which led to Britain and France choosing to support Tsarist Russia, but if Tsarist Russia can't take the Black Dragon Army in a short time, I think the situation should change, at that time Britain and France at least will not support Tsarist Russia as much as they are now, when the time comes, won't the opportunity for us to Dongying come." Munakata smiled.

"What Mr. Sokata said is reasonable." Komura Shoutaro was taught: "And as soon as this incident came out, I think Tsarist Russia should not be able to refuse the sending of observation missions by various countries." ”

In the ministers' meeting, Tsarist Russia united with the Qing court to encircle and suppress the Black Dragon Army, although Komura Shoutaro was suppressed by the ministers of various countries, but at that time he proposed that he hoped that Tsarist Russia could agree to send observation missions to watch the battle, this opinion was still responded to by the ministers of various countries, but because of Geers's resolute opposition, coupled with Dou Nale's indifference, Komura Shoutaro's proposal was finally shelved, however, now that the Black Dragon Army has exploded with such a strong strength, it will definitely be reproposed at this time.

"Well, the Mission must win it." Zongfang Dalang said bluntly: "In Aihui, Heishui Province, we have also sent a large number of intelligence personnel, but so far, we have not received any useful information, so the Minister must strive for the matter of the observation group, otherwise we will not be able to obtain the first-hand information of the Black Dragon Army." ”

"As long as Gers relaxes, they won't dare to exclude us from Dongying, so there's no need to worry." Komura Shoutaro said confidently: "However, listening to Mr. Zongfang's meaning, the Tsarist Qing court jointly encircled and suppressed the Black Dragon Army, you seem to be more optimistic about the Black Dragon Army?" ”

"Without first-hand information, I can't make a correct judgment, but my intuition tells me that the Black Dragon Army is not simple, and if the Tsarist Qing court coalition wants to eat the Black Dragon Army in one go, I'm afraid it won't be too easy." Zong Fang Dalang smiled and continued, "However, no matter what, it will be beneficial to our Dongying. ”

"The advantage is the advantage, the key is how to make this advantage, into a real benefit, this is the most important thing." Komura Shoutaro said bluntly.

"Well, what the Minister said is favorable, and the Sect is here this time, and there is something I want to discuss with the Minister Lord." Munakata Dairo said bluntly.

"Oh, let's hear it."

"In fact, it is mainly a set of intelligence, information about the transfer of troops by Tsarist Russia,......

It turned out that since Tsarist Russia was defeated in a battle with the Black Dragon Army in the Xunke County section of the Heishui River, Tsarist Russia knew that the plan to encircle and suppress the Black Dragon Army on all sides had failed, so the fourth encirclement and suppression plan against the Black Dragon Army was fully launched under the planning of Kurobatkin, Minister of War of Tsarist Russia.

However, at present, the strength of Tsarist Russia in the Far East is more than 100,000, and the number of troops in the two provinces of Fengji is less than 100,000, plus, it is now the beginning of September, according to the situation of the past years, at the beginning of October, at most in the middle of October, there will be heavy snow in the wolf domain, at that time, if you want to completely exterminate the Black Dragon Army, I am afraid it is too difficult, so it is best for Tsarist Russia to end the battle before the heavy snow covers the mountain.

In this way, the troops left by Tsarist Russia in Fengji Province are almost pouring out, but if the defense is empty, they are worried that the Dongying people will take advantage of the fire to rob, so there will be a scene of uniting Britain and France to suppress Dongying.

Moreover, almost at the same time as the suppression, Tsarist Russia has begun to secretly dispatch troops, after eating the last time the Black Dragon Army was sent from all sides to encircle and suppress the Black Dragon Army, but was broken one by one, Tsarist Russia is obviously much smarter this time, plus it has to try to gain time, so Tsarist Russia had to choose to use naval warships to secretly transport troops.

Although the intelligence network of the Black Dragon Army has been spread, it is only spread out at the ordinary level, and it can almost be said that the infiltration of enemy forces is negligible, so although the intelligence department of the Black Dragon Army is also trying its best to collect the transfer of troops from Tsarist Russia, it can only collect some situations where Qing troops gather.

And Dongying's intelligence system is much more complete, although they did not collect relevant intelligence for Tsarist Russia, although Tsarist Russia's troop transportation plan is very thorough and secretive, but it is still inadvertently collected by Dongying's intelligence system to collect relevant intelligence, that is, Tsarist Russia through the naval fleet or river ships, secretly sailing at night to transfer troops, and carefully check, Tsarist Russia's original troops stationed in Fengji Province have basically been transferred, of course, where it fell, Zongfang Dalang is also trying to figure it out.

"If today, the Black Dragon Army did not break out such a strong combat power in Nanming Daily, I planned to disclose this information to them unconditionally, but now, I am a little uncertain, and the headquarters means that it is difficult for them to make an accurate judgment on the strength of the Black Dragon Army, so let me discuss with the minister, and finally make a decision, whether it should be secretly reported to the Black Dragon Army." Munakata Dairo said bluntly.

"Well, this matter really needs to be carefully considered before making a decision."

If Yue Weihua knew that Dongying had scruples because of the Black Dragon Army's record, so he didn't dare to tell the information, I don't know if Yue Weihua would vomit three liters of blood?
