Dalian Shipyard, the wall in the No. 1 dock is slowly falling off, and the objects hidden under the No. 1 dock are gradually appearing in front of Heyuan Zhengyi, who is secretly watching on the mountain.

Although the cold wind was biting, but now the innocent faces of Kawagen Shoichi and Ono were dropping cold sweat on the ground drop by drop.

What appeared to them now was something they had never seen in their lives.

The huge hull is incomparable to any warship in the United Fleet, and the four black gun muzzles at the front look like death.

"Less...... Ensign, what are we going to do. Maybe the battleship that appeared in front of the two of them was too terrifying, Ono's innocent trembling lips looked at the same pale face of Kawagen next to him.

"Quick...... Go back quickly, send electricity to Japan, inside the dock closed by the Dalian shipyard, there are super battleships, and none of our warships can compete with them. ”

In Tokyo, Japan, the winter wind blowing from the sea blows the huge cherry blossom trees around the Prime Minister's Office and sways from side to side. The bare trunk of the tree is like a conjuring spirit, as if to warn Japan that it is playing with fire.

There was a crackling sound, and a dead branch hit the glass of the Prime Minister's Office at once, and suddenly made a crisp sound.

The sound woke up Ito Hirobumi, who was taking a lunch break, and lifted the fiery red blanket on his body, Ito Hirobumi picked up the teacup from the table next to him, moistened his throat, and then stood up and walked to the window. Slowly close your eyes.

Two days earlier, he had ordered a combined fleet, carrying the strength of a division, to land in Pohang, North Korea, and then arrive in Wonju.

It had been two days since the convoy had been on its way, but he had always had a bad feeling in his heart.

It's too calm, everything is too calm, and Liaodong didn't have any reaction when he carried a division of troops into North Korea, which was an act that couldn't be understood at all before.

In particular, Liu Jun, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army, and Liu Jun, the king of Liaodong, has never heard of him suffering any losses since he has been in power for so many years.

I thought that if he mobilized a division into North Korea, Liu Junding would then move at least one army into North Korea in retaliation, but so far, he has not received any information about the transfer of troops of the Liaodong Army into North Korea.

No, there must be something wrong, Liu Jun is definitely playing some conspiracy, Ito Hirobumi shook his head, he resolutely did not believe that Liu Jun would be so docile to watch himself move troops into North Korea this time.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Minister Inoue Xin has urgent matters to see." A guard pushed open the door and hurried in.

Blame, this is not the time to go to work, Inoue Xin knows that she has more than a dozen rests, so she never bothers when she is resting, and now she asks to see herself during her own rest time, which can only mean that something big has happened.

"Quick...... Let him in. For the first time, Ito Hirobumi showed such an anxious look in front of his subordinates.

With a bang, less than two seconds after the guard walked out, Inoue Xin pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Prime Minister, the situation has been clarified." Inoue Shin came in and took a telegram directly from the folder. Hand it to Hirobumi Ito.

What is clear, Ito Hirobumi showed a puzzled face, he didn't understand, what Inoue wanted to say to himself.

However, the paleness on Inoue's face and the trembling of her lips were obviously not affected by the cold, but because of something.

Puzzled, he took the telegram from Inoue Xin's hand. Hirofumi Ito looked at it slowly.

With a snap, Ito Hirobumi threw the telegram in his hand on the table at once.

"It's broken." With an exclamation, Ito Hirobumi stood up suddenly, his lips trembling slightly.

"Prime Minister, what should we do now? Inoue Shin on the side obviously understood what the telegram was talking about, and as soon as she saw Ito Hirobumi stand up, Inoue Shin stepped forward.

This telegram was not anxious by Hirobumi Ito and Shin Inoue, and the telegram above was a telegram sent by Shoichi Kawamoto from Dalian.

What kind of concept is it that in the closed dock is a battleship that has never been seen before, and the telegram says that no warship in the combined fleet dares to compete with it. Super battleships, and it's not one, it's two.

Ito Hirofumi is not a fool, he can deduce what is sealed in the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, and it must be the same as the Dalian Shipyard, which is closed to battleships.

Liu Jun is too insidious, no wonder he is indifferent to his transfer of troops to North Korea, it turns out that this is the reason. It's broken, and it's too late to withdraw your hand.

Now that the transport fleet has departed, I am afraid that Liaodong has already received orders.

"We can only fight to the death, and annihilate the Beiyang Naval Division before the two warships of the Beiyang Naval Division join the Beiyang Naval Division before the trial voyage is completed, and only in this way can we grasp the initiative on the battlefield."

Inoue Xin obviously knows that there is only one way to go now, because Japan really has no way to retreat this time, and once it fails, he knows in his heart that it will be the end of the country's ruin.

"Prime Minister, the question is, what kind of reason do we use to start a war with Liaodong, you know, once we can't have a good reason, then it will be quite unfavorable for us." Inoue asked cautiously.

"Reason, do we need any more reason, even if there is no reason, we are going to war."

Rogue behavior. Inoue Xin is very disdainful of this method, this is not the behavior of a samurai, but now, in addition to this, what other good methods can be used.

"Convene the cabinet and convene a meeting immediately." Walking to the window, Ito Hirobumi clenched his fist and said word by word.

Dalian Shipyard No. 1 dock, the closed ship has completely appeared in front of the world, this whole body gray decoration up to 125 meters long, load 12,350 tons. The Hongzhang, which had 6 210-mm guns and 11 150-mm guns, was moored in the dock.

Half an hour ago. Tons and tons of sea water began to swarm into the warship, and now, the warship was waiting for its supposed buoyancy, and once it reached the buoyancy, the behemoth would leap up and levitate on the surface of the sea.

There was a creak, a thud from the warship in the dock, and then the whole warship swayed back and forth.

"It's floating." Pei Yinsen, who was under the boat, immediately showed a happy smile when he saw this scene.

"Sound the whistle. Ships go to sea. A tiger roar rang out from the ship.

Woowoowoo...... Woowoo...... At the No. 1 wharf of Dalian Shipyard, a deafening whistle sounded, which suddenly spread into the distance.

Rumble rumble. There was a sound of machines turning, and huge chimneys began to emit billowing smoke.

"It's moving. Moved. The person next to him pointed to the ship that was already moving slowly, and suddenly danced happily.

In the commander of Lushun, Liu Jun wrapped himself in a military coat and sat next to the charcoal fire in a regular manner, originally today's Hongzhang was to ask him to preside over the sea, but Li Hongzhang said that he would go anyway, and in addition to the fact that it was too cold on this day, he was not indifferent to the old man's temperament, so this kind of thing was handed over to Li Hongzhang Li and the two of them went, and he stayed in the office in a daze.

"By the way, what are you going to do next?" Zheng Yiqian, who was accompanying Liu Jun, asked cautiously after handing Liu Jun a cup of hot tea.

"Are you asking about where, the Imperial Court or the Japanese side?" Liu Jun raised his head suspiciously. looked at Zheng Yiqian, who was sitting beside him.

"Where is the imperial court, and now you have not officially decided to do anything to Japan."

In the imperial court, Liu Jun showed a helpless wry smile.

Now, Cixi has entered Hanzhong and is retreating to Chengdu, and Wang Shizhen has also begun to attack Xi'an, and it is estimated that there will be results today, Liangjiang, Zhang Xun's Eleventh Corps and Li Rong's Fifth Corps. Wu Peifu's Second Army had already sent a telegram requesting an attack on Nanjing, and he had agreed to come down and asked Yang Yonglin to send two torpedo cruisers up the Yangtze River. Attack Nanjing together. Once Nanjing is taken, the two rivers can be determined. When the time comes, Wang Shizhen will be able to quickly occupy the entire territory of Shaanxi after taking Xi'an, and when the time comes, it will be time for a temporary truce.

"It seems that ours has kept them alive for a while." Taking a deep breath, Liu Jun threw the charcoal that he had picked up and was about to throw into the brazier again. Said lightly.
