Chapter 787 Meiji who can't figure it out
This was also forced to do so, and the night before yesterday, the news came from the Imperial Palace, and the Meiji Emperor had issued an order to have a good fight with the Liaodong Army outside the city of Tokyo, and since the emperor had said so, he could only respect his order and let Nogi Nishinori mobilize the army.

Outside of Tokyo. Bursts of burning waste floated in the air, and then, with the wind swirling, it blew outside the War Department and slowly fell.
It was so miserable that according to the report of the people who came to investigate, within five kilometers outside of Tokyo, it was impossible to get in at all, and the fire was too big.
Yaga Ya Road, Nogi Nishinori sitting on the chair didn't know how many times he had cursed, he knew in his heart that Tokyo City was over.
There is nothing to do with the city of Tokyo, and the key question is another question, that is, what the destruction of Tokyo means for Japan.
Let's not talk about the military, but politically, how can the people still get the will of the people for such a big thing.
Anxious, however, Nogi Nishinori is not supposed to think about the political aspect now, the clear heart, but he does not know where to move the army now.
The twelve divisions on the southern front were pinned down by the German army, and nine divisions on the central front were pinned down by more than 100,000 people of the Liaodong Army, and now the emperor wants to do something to defend Tokyo, and now there is no more Tokyo anymore, what is the need to do this, he can't understand whether this is the emperor taking the wrong medicine or being confused by someone, and he is very angry when he thinks about it.
You can't get angry, the emperor's order has already come down, and you can only carry it out unconditionally, and the crux of the matter is where to mobilize your troops now.
On the Northern Front, the only remaining troops are the seven divisions of the Northern Front, but that is the last unit of Japan, and if the troops are mobilized, Japan will really have no troops to use in the future, and even if it is formed again, then it will be a big blade. He absolutely did not believe that the broadsword could resist the Liaodong army.
Hey, the troops of Akita couldn't move at every turn, and Nogi Nishinori, who was a little angry, suddenly stood up from his chair.
"Your Excellency, we have no choice." On the side, the army chief of staff, Yuan Tianhe, stepped forward and put the order to mobilize the Akita troops on the table.
It is true that there is no choice, the problem is that Nogi Nishinori does not know that once he mobilizes the army, the Liaodong Army will attack him from behind, and if Liaodong lands from Akita at that time, he can only commit suicide, he must not fight on three fronts.
"What's going on in Liaodong?" Nogi Nishinori, who looked at the order, did not sign his name, but stepped forward to ask.
It doesn't seem like there's any movement, at least for now, but some time ago, there was a corps of troops that entered Vladivostok, but there, from Akita, was too far away, it seemed. Liaodong is already not going to open up a new battlefield in Japan.
Motodakazu's analysis is very correct, but Nogi Nishinori still doesn't dare, he has been at war with Liaodong for so many years, and not once has his analysis been correct. What you think is impossible, Liaodong will give you a hand.
This style of play is the saddest thing. If you can't catch your opponent's moves, you can only passively accept them.
"Mobilize the two divisions first, and see how the other side reacts." After taking two deep breaths, Nogi Nishinori asked the chief of staff beside him.
Lushun Headquarters, looking at the telegram that Zhong Lin had just sent, Liu Jun just glanced at it and knew that this must be Japan's stone-throwing asking for directions.
Japan has a total of seven divisions in the Akita direction, and now only two divisions have been transferred, which makes it clear that they want to test themselves.
However, although Liu Jun saw the meaning of this, it did not mean that Zhong Lin could understand it, seeing that Liu Jun did not speak, Zhong Lin had already picked up the telegram that had just been sent from Akita and said: "Head, this is a rare opportunity, now that Akita's troops have mobilized two divisions, do you think we can let the Vladivostok Independent Corps set off?" ”
I am afraid that once I let Vladivostok do it, then Japan will immediately let these two divisions return to Akita. Liu Jun, who thought of this in his heart, waved his hand: "Don't move for the time being." ”
Don't move, this makes Zhong Lin a little puzzled.
At the original military meeting, it was clearly pointed out that once Akita's troops were mobilized, then one corps of the Liaodong Army in Vladivostok and two armies of the Tsarist Army would immediately set off, with the assistance of the Second Fleet, land from Akita, and then attack Japan in three ways.
"Nogi Nishinori is testing us, he must be waiting for our move, if we move, he will immediately let these two divisions come back to help, therefore, for the time being, we don't move, if I estimate that I am not wrong, he will definitely mobilize his troops in a few days."
It turned out that this was the case, Zhong Lin, who understood it, nodded, this kind of conspiracy, he would not play, but this does not mean that he will not.
"In addition, in order to create an illusion for Nogi Nishinori, Li He's attack fleet still has to move around Tokyo Bay in the past few days, and in addition, send a corps to make a landing appearance, I just want Nogi Nishinori to see that we will land from Tokyo."
This trick is good, and Nogi Nishinori can bear it, but it doesn't mean that Inoue Xin or Meiji, who is already seriously ill, can accept it.
After all, this is a matter of his own face, and he believes that even if Nogi Nishinori is unwilling, then the two people above him will definitely be willing to let him mobilize this huge force.
Outside Fukushima, the Emperor's Palace.
It is said that it is the Emperor's Palace, but it is better to say that it is the original city hall. Tokyo is gone, in order to give the emperor safety, Ito Hirobumi at that time, after consulting with the emperor, placed the emperor here, and now, a few months have passed, although Ito Hirobumi has also been dead for so long, but this does not mean that the emperor is safe.
cough cough cough ....... A violent cough rang out from the Emperor's bedroom, followed by a flustered sound, and several of them ran in a panic.
He vomited blood, and Emperor Meiji was actually angry and vomited blood by a telegram in front of him.
This telegram came from Tokyo, ten miles of coke, the entire city of Tokyo, in four days, was burned only a pile of black charcoal, and the palace where his parents and grandfathers lived at the beginning was now not even a good tile can be found, and all of them have been burned.
Hundreds of years of hard work were ruined like this, he really didn't know what he did wrong, and God would punish him like this. He couldn't figure out why the Qing Kingdom, which was vulnerable at the beginning, exerted such great combat effectiveness once it was transformed into Liu Jun's hands. (To be continued.) )
