Chapter 457: Trust or Distrust

In the ward, Hirofumi Ito, who got the news, actually lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed.

The first step of the plan has been realized, and now it depends on whether the Guards Division can gain a foothold in Vladivostok and wait for backup.

Today, in the reinforcements of the West Sea Fleet, three divisions and two brigades have been assembled and are ready to wait for the order to go to Vladivostok.

"Quick, immediately invent for the West Sea Fleet, set sail immediately, and escort reinforcements into Vladivostok." After a few hurried back and forth steps, Ito Hirobumi turned around and pointed at Inoue Shin, who was standing beside him.

"Prime Minister, you better rest." Seeing that Ito Hirobumi was actually on the boat, Inoue Xin was a little anxious, at this time, anyone can fall, but Ito Hirobumi can't fall.

Now the operation of Japan is all on Ito Hirobumi, and he is the only one who can make Japan survive this huge crisis.

"No, I'm going to go to the Emperor." Ito Hirobumi waved his hand, and after quickly getting dressed, he picked up the crutches next to him, turned around and walked out of the ward.

The Imperial Palace, since learning that Tsarist Russia and Germany had declared war on him, the name of the monarch had apparently lost faith in the war, and for this time, Meiji did not convene any meetings and summoned no ministers, not even Ito Hirobumi, who did not summon them once.

Singing and dancing in the palace every day, and even numbing himself with alcohol.

"Yo Si." Seeing where the singer dressed in flowers twisted her waist, after drinking the wine in front of her in one gulp, she called several good words in a row.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asks to see you." One of the guards walked up to the name, knelt down, raised his head and whispered.

"Nope." As soon as he heard that it was Ito Hirobumi, Meiji waved his hand impatiently, the reason why Japan is being attacked by three powerful enemies now is caused by this Ito Hirobumi, how could he still summon Ito Hirobumi.

"But the Prime Minister said there is something important to discuss?" The guard still didn't go out, but whispered.

"Yaga." With an insult, the staggering Meiji stood up, walked to the shelf where the emperor's saber was placed, pulled out the saber placed on it with a brush, and looked at it carefully, Meiji put the cold and shining saber into the scabbard, and then picked up the command knife and handed it to the guards: "Tell him, don't bother me, Japan will leave all the things to him, and anyone who keeps dispatching can directly cut off his head with my imperial knife." ”

In the palace hall, Ito Hirobumi was anxiously waiting for the emperor's summons, however, he had been here for nearly half an hour, and the guards had been in for so long, but he still hadn't come out.

Knock, there was a sound of footsteps from inside, thinking that it was the emperor Ito Hirobumi who had come to tidy up his clothes, but let him, it was not the emperor who appeared in his eyes, but the guards who went forward half an hour to inform him.

"Your Excellency, the Emperor does not want to see you."

"Oh." Hearing this, Ito Hirobumi suddenly seemed to be several years old, and this was the first time since he became emperor that he was rejected when he went to the emperor. Signals of distrust and loss of confidence suddenly came to Ito's mind.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Emperor asked me to give you his saber and let you dispatch everything, and everything in Japan is at your disposal, and if there is anyone who disobeys, you can correct the law on the spot."

Phew, the emperor still trusts himself, Ito Hirobumi, who had already lowered his head, heard this, and immediately raised his head, stretched out his hands and took his head at once, and bowed his head fiercely: "Hi." ”

I came here in time, I came today, I was worried that in the future, there will be some people in the deployment of personnel, especially those in the military, who will resist, and now there is this Shang Fang sword. Then I will be free to get Japan out of this crisis quickly.

Vladivostok has been captured, the Guards Division and the Combined Fleet are already expanding their gains, and reinforcements are beginning to be drawn. When the time comes, the troops that will arrive in Vladivostok will be as high as 100,000 people, and if there is no unified command, it will cause chaos, but now, there is only one person who can hold this position, and that is the emperor's younger brother, Prince Miyahisa Nohito,

However, Miyahisa was a typical arrogant person, and he would not listen to anyone except his brother's orders, which is why he stepped down from the position of chief of the general staff after the war.

Now that he has the knife in his hand, Ito Hirobumi is confident that he can ask for this prince to serve as the commander-in-chief of the front line of the war against Russia, mobilize the entire army in Russia, and fight against Russia.

Lushun, the charcoal fire in Liu Jun's office has been removed, and Liu Jun, who has always felt the charcoal fire, suddenly lost this thing, and he was suddenly a little unaccustomed to it.

Tightening the cloak on his body, seeing that a window had not yet been closed, he put down the pen in his hand, Liu Jun walked up in a few steps, closed the window, and returned to his position again.

"Head, Japan Station Emergency Intelligence." Zhong Lin's voice came from outside the door, and when he raised his head, Liu Jun saw that Zhong Lin was picking up a telegram in his hand and walked in.

Urgent information, Liu Jun frowned, put down the pen in his hand, and leaned back comfortably on the back of the chair, then asked lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Japan has just passed a cabinet meeting, and the meeting decided to form the Far Eastern Army and appoint Prince Miyakushi, the former chief of staff, as the commander of the Far Eastern Army, to unify the command of the Japanese army on the front line to fight against Japan."

"Not anymore." Liu Jun, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Zhong Lin asking suspiciously without saying anything.

Isn't this question urgent enough, Zhong Lin looked at the telegram in his hand again, and finally nodded definitively: "No." After looking down and thinking for a while, Zhong Lin raised his head again: "Head, I found that you are not very interested in this information." ”

"Nope." Liu Jun shook his head, stood up from his position, and walked to the map.

He took out the pen he had placed next to him and quickly talked around the Vladivostok zone.

Judging by the map, more than 100,000 troops of Japan and Tsarist Russia have now been assembled within 300 kilometers of Vladivostok.

Japan's combat effectiveness, which can not be described as rifles, took the entire city of Vladivostok in three days, annihilated 10,000 Russian troops, and the remnants of the troops smashed up the Far Eastern Governor-General, and retreated to a small city 200 kilometers outside Vladivostok.

"Head, now, Japan has put all its energy on Russia, do you see if we can let Ding Ruchang attack Korea, destroy the Korean Nogi Nishino, and get rid of this great enemy."

The method is a good way, if you attack at this time, you can indeed wipe out the Japanese army in Korea, but in Liu Jun's heart, there is always something that he can't figure out, as for what it is, he can't remember it now.

"Wait until I think about it." Waving his hand, Liu Jun interrupted Zhong Lin's words, began to fold his arms, and closed his eyes.
