"Head, good news, the Russian Pacific Fleet attacked the Japanese Combined Fleet patrol fleet in Sakhalin at noon on February 20, three days ago, and sank Matsushima and three cruisers." Zhong Lin quickly reported and handed out the telegram from his hand.

God, Zheng Yiqian on the side looked at Liu Jun with a look of adoration, she didn't understand, how did Liu Jun know that there was something wrong with Tsarist Russia and Japan.

In fact, the reason why Liu Jun said this is because five days ago, that is, after signing the "Joint Operations against Japan" agreement with Tsarist Russia, Liu Jun ordered Zhong Lin to keep a close eye on Tsarist Russia, especially the Tsarist Pacific Fleet stationed in Vladivostok, because once Tsarist Russia wants to send troops, then it must be the Pacific Fleet that will be dispatched first, after all, the agreement is very clear that after the northern patrol is eliminated, the Pacific Fleet will go south to Lushun and join the Beiyang Naval Division. Then make a sortie to destroy the combined fleet.

In the past few days, Zhong Lin has not followed him, and today Zhong Lin suddenly saw him here, which must be to tell himself about the problem of the Tsarist Pacific Fleet.

"yes, head, why are you upset?" thought that Liu Jun would be able to say at least two good words after getting a piece of news, but looking at Liu Jun like that, there was no reaction.

"Leave him alone, he already guessed before you came, so there's nothing to be surprised about." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, was puzzled when she saw where Zhong Lin was, and gave him the answer.

It turned out that this was the case, Zhong Lin laughed dryly, then stepped forward and asked, "Head, what should we do now?" ”

"Wait." Faintly, without any contemplation, Liu Jun said the answer in his heart.

Obviously, neither of them understood what Liu Jun meant, and they both looked at Liu Jun with puzzled eyes.

"Wait for the Russian bear to declare war on Japan, wait for Germany to declare war on Japan, understand?" After looking at the two of them, Liu Jun said the answer lightly.

In Japan, since receiving Ito Hirobumi's order to strictly investigate and deal with Moscow's movements, Inoue Shin has used almost all the spies in Tsarist Russia, and the results gathered from everywhere reflect a concentrated problem, that is, a large number of Russian troops have begun to gather in Vladivostok and even on the eastern border of Liaodong.

Gathering on the border of Liaodong, this is nothing, after all, Tsarist Russia and Liaodong have always been incompatible, but they are both concerned about the strength of the other party and dare not act rashly, however, gathering nearly two armies of sixty or seventy thousand troops here in Vladivostok made Inoue Xin feel very puzzled.

If it is said that Tsarist Russia is massing heavy troops on the northeastern border of Liaodong to prevent Liaodong, then gathering troops in Vladivostok is to prevent anyone. Inoue Xin, who couldn't figure it out, decided to send the collected telegram to the Prime Minister's Office and wait for Ito Hirobumi to analyze it.

In Tokyo, in the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, although the charcoal fire made the room unusually warm, as Foreign Minister Saigo Shiro, his eyes were full of fear when he looked at the red silk document on the table in front of him, and even his hands and feet were cold.

Several times he wanted to pick up the document, but as soon as he touched something, Shiro Saigo's hand would quickly retract, and he felt the horror of the document.

Because this document was sent by the minister of Tsarist Russia half an hour ago, and it was also a document that made Japan even worse, the Tsarist Russia's declaration of war against Japan.

Half an hour ago, after the surprise visit of the Russian envoy to Japan, he did not even talk superfluous nonsense when he entered the door, but directly took out the declaration of war and announced that from tomorrow onwards, the two countries would enter a state of declaration of war. And the reason for declaring war is very similar to the reason for declaring war on the Qing State back then, that is, the Japanese Combined Fleet attacked the Pacific Fleet. Provoke a war for no reason.

After handing in the declaration of war, the Russian envoy did not return to the embassy, but went directly to the dock and got on the ship, ignoring Japan's acceptance of the declaration of war.

Smack, finally picked up the declaration of war on the table, Saigo wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and then stood up, but now he has no strength, and some of his limbs are weak. Slowly moving a few steps, Saigo looked at the declaration of war in his hand, took a deep breath, and then moved his feet, walked out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and began to walk towards the Prime Minister's Office not far away.

As soon as he reached the gate, he saw his predecessor, the current finance minister, Inoue Shin, walk out of the prime minister's office.

"Saigo-kun, what are you?" Inoue Xin, who came out, saw Saigo Shiro's face was pale, and asked worriedly after coming over to support him, before Saigo Shiro answered, Inoue Xin saw that in Saigo's hand, there was a huge document, and the Russian on it was obviously telling herself that this must be something important.

"This is" Pointing to the document, Inoue looked at Shiro Saigo standing in front of him suspiciously.

"Tsarist Russia's declaration of war on our country." Weak, Saigo finally stammered the answer and handed the declaration of war to Inoue Shin.

There was a snap, and the folder that Inoue Xin picked up fell to the ground at once.

Just now, he was still discussing with the prime minister why Tsarist Russia would mobilize troops to Vladivostok, and in just a few minutes, Tsarist Russia's declaration of war was delivered to his doorstep.

"Quick, let's go see His Excellency the Prime Minister immediately." There was no time to pick up the folder on the ground, and Shiro Saigo, who was like crazy, rushed to the Prime Minister's Office building.

Why, exactly? Prime Minister's Office, Ito Hirobumi is still staring at the huge black spot in Vladivostok and pondering, an hour ago, Inoue Xin came here and said the information received in Tsarist Russia in recent days, judging from the above, Tsarist Russia concentrated the strength of the two armies in Vladivostok, which is obviously not to deal with Liaodong, if it is to deal with Liaodong, then as long as the troops are increased in Vladivostok, and there is no need to concentrate troops in Vladivostok, after all, these two places are too far apart, even if a war breaks out, Vladivostok's forces want to quickly reach the border of Liaodong, That's not a matter of a day or two, either.

Is it to deal with my country, thinking of this, Ito Hirobumi was shocked and cold, and when he turned around, he was going to ask someone to call Inoue Xin, who had just gone out, but before he could scream, he saw that Inoue Xin and Saigo Si Lian walked in in a panic one after the other.

"What's wrong with you two, what's wrong?" After glancing at the two assistants with pale faces, he asked suspiciously.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia, has declared war on our country."

"What?" Hirobumi Ito jumped up from where he had just sat down. looked at the two people standing in front of him with a look of disbelief.

Looking up at Saigo, who was standing behind Inoue, he found that Saigo was picking up a red document in his hand, on which was vaguely written in Russian.

A declaration of war? Ito swallowed a mouthful of saliva and motioned for Saigo to hand over the document.

Sure enough, it was a declaration of war, and after looking at it twice, Ito Hirofumi looked at the content on it tremblingly, and looked at the two of them tremblingly.

Boom, Ito Hirobumi, who broke out, threw the declaration of war in his hand on the ground at once, and stepped on it without grace.

He fully understood that Liu Jun was so restrained during this time, not letting Ding Ruchang of North Korea go to war, and not letting the Beiyang Naval Division go to war, he was waiting for today, waiting for Tsarist Russia to declare war on him. He understood that this was a huge conspiracy, and Liu Jun united with Tsarist Russia to deal with his own conspiracy.

However, he only guessed half of it, that is, Liu Jun united with Tsarist Russia, but he still did not guess the other part, that is, Liu Jun not only united with Tsarist Russia, but also contacted Germany.
