Zhong Lin, who was standing behind him, may not have heard Liu Jun's words clearly, or rather, he couldn't understand Liu Jun's words, this telegram said that now the 11th Division has begun to retreat westward, but Liu Jun in turn asked himself to call the naval commander Li He, is this too fast.

In fact, Zhong Lin only knew that Liu Jun wanted to divide the Japanese army in the Far East, but he didn't know that Liu Jun also had a purpose, that is, to blockade and cut off all the contacts between Japan and hundreds of thousands of people in the Far East, that is, to use the navy to block the route, and not let Japan's supplementary mail take a step in Shanghai, of course, if Japan really can't bear it and platoon the combined fleet to come to the decisive battle, then he is not afraid, anyway, now, the combined fleet is no longer his opponent.

A combined fleet that has fallen from a second-rate navy to a third-rate navy, Liu Jun doesn't know what to fear, not to mention the Three Kingdoms Fleet, even if it is the Beiyang Naval Division, if he wants to destroy him, it will be an easy matter.

This idea, Liu Jun once jumped with Zheng Yiqian in the bed, so when he saw Zhong Lin didn't understand, Zheng Yiqian stabbed Zhong Lin: "You want to use the navy to blockade Vladivostok."

I completely understand, this trick is a perfect match, Zhong Lin, who thought of this, nodded, turned around and ran out.

Li He's first fleet had already returned to Lushun. During this period of time, because there was no combat mission, almost all the main ships of the Beiyang Naval Division entered the dock to clean up and repair once, and it was a decisive battle with the Combined Fleet not long after.

Command of the Navy. Li He, who was wearing an admiral's uniform, was sitting in front of the map, looking at the terrain of Vladivostok in a daze. Next to him, the commander of the German Far East Navy, Weir, and the chief of staff of the Beiyang Naval Division were standing nearby, pointing at the terrain around Vladivostok.

Several people knew that the future decisive battle with the Combined Fleet might be near Vladivostok, and that after the destruction of the Combined Fleet, the Navy's responsibility would be reversed, that is, from attacking to covering, that is, escorting the landing army and shelling the ports of various Japanese batteries.

"Report, Director Zhong is here." A staff officer walked straight to Li He's side and reported loudly.

Zhong Lin? As soon as he heard this name, Li He immediately stood up from his chair, and went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Zhong Lin arrived here, then it must be that the navy has a mission.

Sure enough, before he could go out, he saw Zhong Lin happily walking in and looking at the three people inside and said with a smile: "You are really comfortable during this time?" ”

Comfortable, Li He doesn't know if this is a blow or what, since the shelling of Tokyo, the fleet has not sailed, everyone is about to go crazy with boredom, Zhong Lin actually said that this kind of day is still comfortable, Li He really doesn't know what Zhong Lin thinks. “

"Is there any indication what?" Li He didn't want to joke with Zhong Lin, so he asked after motioning for Zhong Lin to sit down.

"Yes, the head asked you to go over immediately, and what the specific reason is, he didn't say." Zhong Lin nodded, picked up the apple from the side, sniffed it, stood up and glanced at Li He: "It's okay, let's go." ”

Waiting for this sentence, Li He nodded, took the military hat from the side, and walked out of the Admiralty with Zhong Lin.

Tokyo, Japan. After a day of rain flooding the entire city of Tokyo, Hirobumi Ito stood in front of the window in the study of the Prime Minister's Office, looking at the rain still falling.

With a creak, the sound of the door being pushed open woke up Hirobumi Ito who was in a daze, and when he turned around, he saw Inoue Shin walking in with a telegram in his hand.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Vladivostok is in an emergency."

Vladivostok, Ito Hirobumi frowned, and went straight back to his place before he lazily asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Inoue Xin sighed in her heart, since the bombing of Tokyo, Ito Hirobumi obviously has no interest in the affairs of the Far East, as if the life and death of hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers in the Far East have nothing to do with him. This is a sign of irresponsibility.

At the beginning, if it were not for Ito Hirobumi's proposal to attack Tsarist Russia, hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers would definitely not have gone to other places and fought bloody battles in the Far East.

What worries Inoue even more is that since the surrender of the First Army in Korea, there have been many political systems in China that are ready to move, and they all want to take this opportunity to suppress Ito Hirobumi and win the position of prime minister.

According to the investigation, he has found that some people in Japanese political circles have proposed to negotiate with Liaodong to resolve this war with no chance of winning, which is not what he wants to see, and I am afraid that Hirobumi Ito does not want to see.

"Prime Minister, Vladivostok called, the 11th Division has been defeated to the west under the attack of the Liaodong Army."

Weng, before Inoue finished speaking, Ito Hirobumi suddenly stood up from his chair. This news was so terrible for him that it was so terrible that he was about to collapse.

The position of the 11th Division in the Far East is too important, it is an important connecting hub between Vladivostok and the Westward Advance Corps, once the 11th Division retreats westward, then it means that this hub is broken, Vladivostok and the Westward Advance Corps will be cut in two, and they can only fight separately from then on.

Walking in front of the map a few times, Ito Hirobumi looked at it twice, and immediately angrily threw the command in his hand to the ground: "Bagaya Road, Gangmura-kun is really a shame for the imperial soldiers, such an important place, he actually let the Liaodong Army occupy it, doesn't he know the importance of his location?" After the insult, Ito Hirobumi turned around and pointed at Inoue Shin: "Send a telegram to Vladivostok and ask them to arrest Gangcun immediately and take him to a military court." ”

"Why don't you go yet?" Seeing that Inoue Shin did not leave, Ito Hirobumi questioned loudly.

It's not that Inoue Xin won't go, but because he hasn't lost his mind yet, and he knows very well that the strength of the Liaodong Army faced by the 11th Division this time is not on the same line at all.

The 11th Division has only more than 11,000 people, while the Liaodong Army has a strength of nearly 55,000 people in two armies, plus three regiments of the Russian army and a cavalry brigade.

Therefore, he analyzed that Gangcun made a very correct choice to do this.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister. Gangmura Jun was also forced to do this, he was facing the strength of the two armies of the Liaodong Army, that is, the strength of the Second Corps of the Liaodong Army and the three regiments of the Tsarist Russian Army. ”

This one? As soon as Ito Hirobumi heard Inoue's explanation, he suddenly walked to the chair and sat down in a daze like a deflated ball.
