After fighting in the middle of the night, the snow wolf team set off again, and after two hours, they arrived at the seaside thirty-five miles away with exhaustion, although the temperature was very low, but the sea water was not frozen, the waves were constantly beating on the coast, and the warm sea breeze was blowing in front of them, which made the members of the snow wolf team feel a lot more energetic. △ Top Novel, x.

Yesterday afternoon, they set out for the Japanese outpost on the border with Russia at about five o'clock, and after more than an hour's trek, they finally arrived at the Japanese outpost before it was completely dark, and managed to kill the two military dogs outside the Japanese outpost first, and after killing the military dogs, it was easy, and they launched an attack at about half past six.

Under the attack of the snow wolf squad, the resistance of the Japanese outpost was futile, and the battle ended in less than five minutes, and there was a total of a small group of Japanese soldiers in the outpost, and none of them escaped, all of them were killed.

At half past seven o'clock in the evening, after cleaning the battlefield and falsifying the traces of the scene, the snow wolf squad rushed to the Tsarist Russian border post more than 20 miles away with a squad of Japanese soldier corpses on war horses, and arrived near the Tsarist Russian border post after more than an hour.

After killing all the Russian soldiers in the outpost, the members of the Snow Wolf Squad threw the corpses and equipment of the fifteen Japanese soldiers brought by the captain Han Zheng around the outpost, creating the illusion that the Japanese army had raided the Tsarist outpost. Under the leadership of Hurricane and Han Zheng, he set off to the beach thirty-five miles away, and arrived at the beach at about one o'clock in the morning. and scattered all the horses.

Hurricane took out a single transmitter and sent a telegram, and soon after. A huge "shark" appeared on the gray sea, which was the latest "Shark 1" submarine developed and manufactured by China Merchants under the guidance of Xiao Zhenlei, which can be said to be one of the earliest submarines, because the Germans had developed and produced the earliest submarine several years ago. The submarine developed and produced by China Merchants is not very powerful, and the diving depth and time spent in the sea water cannot be compared with the "U" submarine produced by Germany before World War II, but its performance is not far from the "U" submarine.

Although this submarine is not as good as the submarines of various countries before World War II, it is more than 20 years ahead of Germany in this era, because it is equipped with an active sonar system, which was developed by the people of the research institute. Of course, those people were obviously "pointed" by someone.

Soon after the new government submarine surfaced, four inflatable rubber boats were lowered, and two people on each rubber boat paddled the sea water to the shore, and soon all the members of the Snow Wolf team boarded four rubber boats and rowed towards the submarine on the sea. At 1:20 a.m., the Snow Wolves team entered the submarine, and the submarine began to dive, and finally sank below sea level until it was as if nothing had happened here.

The attack on the border post was quickly known to both Japan and Russia, and after analysis. Both Japan and Russia believe that the other side did it, because there are traces left at the scene, and there is no one else but the military forces around the other side.

Nicholas II was originally convening a Council of Ministers to announce his decision to declare war on Japan over the assassination of the crown prince by assassins instructed by the Japanese authorities. At the time of the opposition of many ministers of the Council of Ministers, there was news that the border post had been raided by the Japanese army, which made Nicholas II even more annoyed. This incident further confirmed the assassination of the crown prince of Tsarist Russia by the Japanese, and Nicholas II immediately declared war on Japan. However, the British, who had already received the news, quickly rushed to the Winter Palace to stop the actions of Nicholas II.

In the eyes of the British, Tsarist Russia was purely looking for enemies for Britain and France. Britain and Japan already had a friendly agreement, and if Tsarist Russia declared war on Japan, then the relations between Britain and Japan would also fall to a freezing point, and British interests in the Far East would be completely unprotected, and the British certainly did not want this.

But what is a tsar? He is abnormal, if you want to reason with him, you are playing the piano to the cow, Nicholas II was very angry that the British came to prevent him from declaring war on the Japanese, and he immediately threatened the British that if the British insisted on going their own way, then Tsarist Russia would announce its withdrawal from the Entente camp and join the Central Powers.

This threat is too lethal, if Tsarist Russia withdraws from the Entente camp, then it means that Germany and Austria-Hungary will have no worries at all, the pressure on Britain and France is too great, the British do not dare to take this risk, compared with Britain's interests in Europe and the mainland, the interests in the Far East are insignificant, Britain would rather lose the interests of the Far East, and do not want to be threatened by the local area, so Britain and France can only acquiesce in the act of Tsarist Russia declaring war on Japan. After receiving the acquiescence of Britain and France, Tsarist Russia immediately declared war on Japan.

The Japanese have not even figured out until now, how did Tsarist Russia declare war on Japan for no reason? Prime Minister Gonbei Yamamoto was even more confused, the investigation report was quickly sent to him, and after reading the investigation report, he was framed until Japan, there is no doubt that this is someone who wants Japan and Tsarist Russia to fight!

There are many countries with this motive, Germany is one, the United States is also possible, Xiao Zhenlei's new government is also one of the objects of suspicion, of course, Yamamoto Gonbei is also suspicious of domestic political enemies, this may be made by political enemies, the purpose is to bombard him from power, and there will be another Russo-Japanese battlefield, hoping to obtain greater interests in the Far East.

But now, Yamamoto Gonbei has no other way, he contacted and communicated with the British minister in Japan, but the attitude of the British minister is intriguing, the people of the Russian embassy in Japan are evacuating after submitting a declaration of war to the Japanese authorities, and a large number of Tsarist Russians are being evacuated at the same time.

Yamamoto immediately reported to the emperor and asked for the emperor's opinion, knowing that this kind of thing could not be explained clearly, and the more he explained, the more he confirmed the fact that Japan was behind the scenes. At this point, even if Japan does not admit it, it will not be able to do it, so it can only carry this black pot and grit its teeth to confront Tsarist Russia, because there is intelligence that Tsarist Russia is increasing its troops to the Far East. So Japan also declared war on Tsarist Russia.

On the one hand, Nicholas II sent people to negotiate with the German side in order to stabilize the Germans and keep the revenge war that Tsarist Russia was about to launch in the Far East undisturbed, and on the other hand, he sent a telegram to Kuminschi, the minister to China, asking him to see Xiao Zhenlei, establish good relations with the new Chinese government, and strive for friendship with the new Chinese government.

On January 21, Xiao Zhenlei was reading official documents in the president's office, and his wife Cheng Baguio, a full-time secretary, called in the secretary's office and said: "President, the Russian minister to China, Kuminszi, has just made a phone call to the diplomatic department, and he wants to meet with you!" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Zhenlei asked casually, "Did he say anything?" ”

"Nope!"

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a moment and ordered: "Inform all relevant personnel in the president's office to hold a meeting in an hour, I need to know the purpose of Kumingszi's meeting with me this time, so that they can make relevant preparations."

"Got it!"

As the intelligence analysis expert in the presidential office responsible for providing intelligence support for Xiao Zhenlei, he immediately contacted the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau and the Internal Investigation Bureau to obtain relevant information, and the staff responsible for providing military intelligence consultation for Xiao Zhenlei also immediately contacted Ma Xiaoshuang's Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau to read the relevant military intelligence reports, and the staff of other departments also took urgent action, which is the role of the President's Office. This group has access to all the resources of the country to serve the president.

The time of an hour was coming quickly, all the staff in the office entered the conference room and sat down and waited for the meeting, Cheng Baguio went to Xiao Zhenlei's office to inform him that the meeting time was up, Xiao Zhenlei put down the pen and closed the above jiàn, got up and walked towards the conference room.

After Xiao Zhenlei walked into the conference room, all the staff in the office stood up, although they were not as neat as the soldiers, but they were also very clean and neat, Xiao Zhenlei pressed his hand: "Sit down, I want to know what the purpose of Kuminsqi is going to see me this time, do you have an answer?" ”

Yang Du, who was in charge of providing intelligence analysis and consultation for Xiao Zhenlei, was wearing a black suit, his hair was neatly groomed, he stood up and opened a document and glanced at it, then looked up and said to Xiao Zhenlei: "President, according to the intelligence collected by the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau from St. Petersburg and Berlin, Nicholas II has sent a special envoy Waldorf to Berlin to ask for a meeting with Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, according to the investigation, Waldorf had previously served as a diplomatic envoy in Germany and had a good relationship with Wilhelm II. We speculate that the task of Waldov's trip was to establish good relations with Germany, and not to be interfered with and attacked by Germany during the war between Tsarist Russia and Japan in the Far East, after all, Japan now only has a strategic agreement with Britain, and Germany does not need to offend Tsarist Russia for Japan.

At the same time, intelligence from the Bureau of Internal Investigation shows that in the past few days there have been quite frequent telegraphic contacts between the Russian embassy in China and St. Petersburg, and they have intercepted several telegrams, the contents of which have been deciphered, and the contents of the telegrams show that the St. Petersburg side has asked Kuminsy to temporarily put aside the matter of Mongolian autonomy and make every effort to improve relations with our country, so that when they are at war with Japan, our country will not fall into the Japanese camp."
