Chapter 458: Concealment and Failure to Report
Seeing Liu Jun close his eyes, Zhong Lin knew that the only thing he could do at this time was two ways, one was to leave, and the other was to wait on the side.
Waiting, he didn't know how much time Liu Jun needed to think about, after thinking for a while, Zhong Lin decided to sit on the side and wait, anyway, there was food in the office, and he couldn't starve.
After two hours, everything on the table was consumed by Zhong Lin. Liu Jun, who had been standing in front of the map, finally opened his eyes.
"Head, have you thought about it?" Seeing Liu Jun open his eyes. Zhong Lin hurriedly got up from his chair and walked to Liu Jun's side.
After looking at Zhong Lin, who was standing beside him expectantly, Liu Jun nodded: "I think I've thought about it, but there are some things that I don't know so thoroughly." Well, you go buy something, and we'll go where the old man is. ”
"Okay." Zhong Lin nodded, turned around and walked out.
Liu Jun was indeed thinking about it, but what he was thinking about was not to fight the Second Army in Korea, but to secretly sign an agreement with North Korea and even Japan to temporarily armistice agreement.
If you want to drag Tsarist Russia to death, it is necessary to let the Japanese army put down their worries, only in this way can the Japanese army concentrate on a large number of Tsarist Russia's strength, and at that time, Tsarist Russia, which is already a foreign power and a middle cadre, will suffer heavy losses under the blow of Japan, and now the two camps have begun to form, and the contradictions between Germany and Britain have become increasingly acute, and it will not take a few years, or even wait for 1914, when a world war will break out.
At that time, he will be able to send troops to recover the north of Heilongjiang and get back all the places that Japan looted back then.
However, Liu Jun had a layer of doubts in his heart, that is, he was worried about whether Japan would agree to it, and whether it would dig out the contents of this agreement in the future.
He couldn't think of it, so he could only ask Li Hongzhang for advice, in this regard, Li Hongzhang would always know more than himself.
On the outskirts of the city, Li Hongzhang's mansion, after taking over the things from Zhong Lin, Liu Jun went straight out, accompanied by Zhong Lin. Came to Li Hongzhang's residence.
Li Hongzhang was still on the balcony looking at the half-gone Beiyang Navy Division Military Port in the distance, in a daze.
Seeing Liu Jun coming, Li Hongzhang stood up and brought Liu Jun into the study, during this time, he had already figured out Liu Jun's thoughts.
"Tell me, what are you trying to do this time?" Li Hongzhang, who returned to his position, looked at Liu Jun who was standing in front of him and asked kindly.
Only in front of Li Hongzhang can Liu Jun really say his thoughts, move a stool from the side, and sit in front of Li Hongzhang, Liu Jun can say his thoughts.
The courage is not small, even Li Hongzhang, who has been through a hundred battles and has been rolling in officialdom for decades, can't help but gasp.
Once this agreement is signed, then Tsarist Russia will be attacked most violently, which will be a disaster for Russia, but at the same time, it can be regarded as a time bomb tied to Liaodong, and there is no guarantee that Japan will not poke out this matter.
"Old man, tell me about it, will Japan say that this agreement is in the future?" Seeing that Li Hongzhang didn't speak for a long time, Liu Jun stepped forward and asked lightly.
Still didn't answer, Li Hongzhang just closed his eyes, knowing that Li Hongzhang was thinking, Liu Jun didn't ask again, but sat there and waited quietly.
Two hours later, Li Hongzhang's eyes, which had been closed, finally opened.
"Japan will come up with this agreement, but all of this is in your hands." Faintly, Li Hongzhang said his answer.
In his own hands, Liu Jun narrowed his eyes suspiciously, he didn't understand.
Seeing that Liu Jun didn't understand, Li Hongzhang stood up and looked at Liu Jun: "Japan is surviving to the death this time, and he will definitely sign an agreement with you." However, Japan is the most discredited place, so you give it a deadline and a two-month truce, so that even if Japan says an agreement at that time, there will be no way for you. ”
"You mean, let me go to war against the imperial court. Used to confuse Japan. As if he understood what Li Hongzhang meant, Liu Jun stretched his neck.
"Yes, it's not."
Sour, Liu Jun pouted, he hated Li Hongzhang the most like a half-immortal, what can't he say directly.
"The war against the imperial court is a pretense, and it is true to give Russia an excuse for them, and when the time comes, you can enter Tsarist Russia to a certain extent."
Cheng, what Li Hongzhang meant, Liu Jun has already understood. Nodding slightly, Liu Jun, who got the answer, was about to get up and say goodbye.
Knowing that Liu Jun has been busy recently, Li Hongzhang is not convenient to disturb.
stood up and sent Liu Jun to the door, and when he saw Liu Jun far away, Li Hongzhang remembered something, quickly returned to the study, spread out the paper, wrote down his heart and put it in the envelope, Li Hongzhang asked the housekeeper to hurry up and deliver the letter to Liu Jun.
In Chengdu, in the military aircraft department converted from the county government, Zhang Zhidong, the minister of military aircraft, looked at a map in his hand, and was puzzled in his heart, this telegram was actually sent from Xinjiang, which said in detail that the current governor of Xinjiang is in contact with Yuan Shikai, the highest political governor of Outer Mongolia in eastern Liaoning.
If all this is true, then it can only show that Xinjiang will soon break away from the rule of the imperial court and officially join Liu Jun's camp.
Once this is the case, then when the time comes, the road to Qinghai will be opened for Liu Jun, and Ningxia and Gansu will be attacked by Liu Jun and Liaodong on both sides. Once the war starts, it won't be long before both places will be captured. When the time comes, then the time comes for the imperial court.
Zhang Zhidong didn't dare to think about it anymore.
I wanted to inform Cixi of this news, but with Cixi's temper, she would inevitably send troops to Xinjiang, and when the time came, once the war broke out, there would be no room for maneuver.
He has received information, and now Liu Jun is no longer fighting against Japan alone, but has two powerful countries, Tsarist Russia and Germany.
He knew very well that Liu Jun was able to make a sudden truce this time, it was because of Japan's problems, and now, Japan was already in the declaration of war by powerful Russia and Germany, and Liu Jun could free up his hands and mobilize heavy troops in one fell swoop to annihilate this already imperial court in one fell swoop.
From the messages reported from everywhere. Liu Jun is no longer 300,000 troops, but 500,000, in a short period of time, Liu Jun has expanded five corps, 200,000 people, and although these troops did not participate in any wars, but their configuration, even if it is the strongest Praetorian Guard equipped in Chengdu now, it cannot be compared.
And, according to the situation. These newly formed forces are being mobilized to the north. This is obviously to train troops.
Hey, sighed helplessly, for the sake of the imperial court, Zhang Zhidong could only do this, took a deep breath, picked up the telegram Zhang Zhidong walked to the charcoal fire, and threw the telegram into the stove at once.
