Zhang Zuolin never procrastinated in doing things, and when he heard the chief of staff analyze this, he immediately ordered the commanders of all armies to come to the meeting. At the meeting, Zhang Zuolin decided to personally lead the Fifth Army into Vladivostok, while the rest of the troops, under the leadership of the chief of staff, all went to Boli and came under the command of Feng Guozhang, the commander of the corps, and participated in the interception.

Japan, since the order was given to the Navy to sacrifice warships to intercept, Ito Hirobumi's heart is dripping blood, although he is not the Minister of the Navy, but every warship, that is personally agreed to be built or purchased. Now let these warships go to death, he is very uncomfortable in his heart.

Now on Ito's desk, there is a telegram, which had been sent from Vladivostok the afternoon before yesterday, and it was stated that all the troops near Vladivostok had boarded the ship and were ready to leave for the evening, and after the unloading of Shikoku, the navy would return to the Sasebo military port.

Since receiving this telegram, Ito Hirobumi was both happy and worried, and he was glad that the combined fleet had loaded nearly 35,000 troops and set off in less than a day after the departure of the Liaodong Navy, and at the same time, he was also very worried about a problem.

It will take some time to depart from Vladivostok to the Tsushima Strait, and at this time, the Liaodong Navy has already set off, which is difficult to guarantee that the escort fleet will not meet the Liaodong Army, and if they meet, even if the combined fleet is all dispatched, it may not be able to intercept the Liaodong Navy, and if it is not done well, then the nearly 40,000 dead army will all be sunk on the sea.

He knew in his heart that if Liaodong was to deal with foreign troops, he might still let go of these 40,000 army troops out of humanitarian relations, but for the Japanese army, Ito Hirobumi felt that there was a difficulty, after all, his own navy did not show mercy to the Qing army at the beginning.

In that year, the Battle of Toshima, in the face of more than 1,000 Qing troops on the Gao Sheng, Naniwa not only fired torpedoes, but also shelled the sailors who fell into the water, killing them all, although later the Naniwa was sunk by the Lushun shore defense artillery when attacking Lushun, but this seems to be a bane or a reason, since then, the Northeast Liaoning Ocean Naval Division in the naval battle, as long as the sinking of Japanese ships, will never help the people who fell into the water.

Hey, in the sigh, Ito Hirobumi now blames Heihachiro Togo, who has been dead for nearly ten years, if he hadn't done it at the beginning, he wouldn't have to worry that the Liaodong Navy would sink these 40,000 people and not save them. It's a pain when you think about it.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, Ito Hirobumi saw that it was Inoue Shin who came in, and when Inoue Shin walked in front of him, Ito Hirobumi looked at Inoue Shin: "Did you say they would meet the Liaodong Navy?" ”

This, Inoue Xin was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ito Hirofumi meant, and said in his heart, why don't you worry about this, in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, in the face of six sunken United Fleet ships and nearly 2,000 sailors, the Liaodong Army not only reached out to rescue, but also prevented passing foreign ships from rescuing, letting these people go with the flow, and then all sank to the bottom of the sea.

To blame, you can blame yourself, blame yourself for looking down on the kindness of the Qing people, in fact, sometimes, the Qing people are the least merciful, and among them, Liu Jun is the representative of the deputies, a person who has revenge and will take revenge. Under his leadership, Liaodong went from backward to rich in only ten years, and the army went from broadswords and spears to all rifles in just five years, and the navy reached a crazy level, from two battleships to six battleships now, from two armored cruisers to more than a dozen now, that is a terrible force.

"Prime Minister, I don't judge well, but I estimate that there are Tsarist fleets and German fleets, and it is estimated that even if the combined fleet encounters the Liaodong Navy, it is estimated that it will not be able to die without help.

It should be, it can only be said that it should, after all, no one can determine what the Beiyang Naval Division will do, or rather, what kind of order Liu Jun will give to the navy.

It seems that he can only resign himself to fate, hearing Inoue Xin say this, Ito Hirobumi nodded and returned to his position to think for a while, and then raised his head again to look at Inoue Xin: "If there is any situation, notify me immediately." ”

Without speaking, Inoue nodded, turned around and walked out.

In the Sea of Japan, the convoy that escaped death is slowly moving on the surface of the sea at a speed of ten knots. The smoke rising from the huge fleet has obscured the sun in the entire sky,

The battleship Mikasa, which was at the forefront, let out a long whistle, which seemed to be a sign of silence for the ship that had recently been wiped out by the Liaodong Navy.

Inside the command tower, a long whistle was heard, and Ito Hirobumi straightened his eyes. At this time, there has always been a doubt in his heart, and this doubt has been haunting him for nearly six hours.

After he ordered the ships to go out to intercept them, the main force that traveled more than ten nautical miles saw with his own eyes that Liaodong was completely wiped out in less than twenty minutes after the five warships were besieged in the middle by the naval division and the Tsarist Russian fleet, which frightened the cold sweat on his face, not that he was heartbroken with these warships, but that he knew very well that at such a close distance, it was very easy for the Liaodong naval division to pursue, so he had ordered all the combat ships to be concentrated in the back and ready for battle. So that all the transport ships could be evacuated, but what he didn't expect was that the Liaodong Navy Division didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing him at all, and after waiting for all five ships to sink to the bottom of the sea, the Liaodong Navy slowly headed in the direction of Vladivostok, and didn't look at himself at all, as if he was something that didn't exist at all.

Whether this was the Liaodong Navy's disdain for his own war or some other reason, Ito Yuheng couldn't figure it out. Even so, he still waited for the last ship of the huge Liaodong Navy to leave, and then ordered the ships to catch up with the transport ships that had already gone away, and then carefully escorted them all the way to the waters of Japan.

"Commander, in a few hours, we will be able to reach our destination." Ono walked in from outside, took a lunch in his hand, sat down in front of Hirobumi Ito, and said.

Ito Yuheng, who took a long breath, breathed a sigh of relief, and now, he was finally completely relieved, after all, what to say, this is the Sea of Japan,

"Ono-kun, you say, why did the Liaodong Navy give up attacking us?" After eating two bites of lunch, Ito asked directly.

This? Ono couldn't answer, and he didn't have any reason to convince why Liaodong would give up the attack.
