Elena asked a few more questions, all about the content of the national dignity competition, Lin Yuan answered them one by one, almost an hour passed, the questions were all asked, Elena said: "I have finished asking all the questions you gave me, can I ask some of my own questions?" ”

Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing glanced at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can ask." ”

Elena's eyes lit up and she said, "I know that the two of you have registered for marriage, so I don't know when your wedding is going to be held?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled dumbly, he originally thought that Yelena would ask some diplomatic, military, and national policy content, but he didn't expect Yelena to ask a personal question, so he said: "I thought you would ask some questions about national affairs, but I didn't expect you to ask this." ”

Elena smiled: "Lin Shuai, you don't know what to say, in fact, the people in our country are not interested in China's national affairs, they are interested in your private life, so our editor-in-chief asked me to report more on this aspect." ”

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "Okay then, we don't plan to hold a wedding." ”

With a look of surprise on her face, Elena asked, "What are you doing?" There is only one wedding for one person, if you don't hold it well, won't you regret it for life? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "This is nothing to regret. After speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Wanqing, and said with a smile: "As long as the two have each other, it's fine, as for the wedding, it's just a formality, what does it matter?" ”

Elena exclaimed happily, "Great! That's great! If you say something like this, the sales of our newspaper will definitely double! That's it, I'll ask the photographer to take a picture of the two of you......" Elena then called the photographer in, and then asked a lot of questions about love, and then left, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing both felt like they couldn't cry or laugh.

However, this report was widely spread in Western society, which made many Western people have a sharp increase in Lin Yuan's favor, and also laid the foundation for Lin Yuan's future international success.

As soon as Lin Yuan's statement was announced, Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun published editorials one after another, saying that "we must win in this contest between the Chinese and Japanese national spirits in Hamgyongsan." Japan's Meiji Emperor, Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, and Navy Minister Ito Yuhiro all stood up and made speeches, saying that the Japanese Empire would definitely win.

At the instigation of the Japanese government, the Japanese people also set off a frenzy of cheering for the Second Division, and many Japanese girls expressed that they would sacrifice themselves to the officers and men of the division after the triumph of the Second Division, and even the wives of the officers and men of the division committed suicide, in order to let their husbands fight against Lin Yuan's troops without distraction.

Lin Yuan looked at all kinds of ugliness in Japan, and was extremely happy in his heart, thinking: "You guys pay attention to Hamgyong Mountain, and our sneak attack on the rocky beach will have an effect!" Thinking of this, Lin Yuan called an attendant and said, "Immediately hold a video conference to inform Shen Xin, commander of the First Division, and Yu Feng, commander of the Vladivostok fleet and captain of the Fire Phoenix Ship, to participate, and I will arrange an attack plan." ”

After a short time for the video conference to be prepared, Lin Yuan looked at Shen Xin, Yu Feng and other officers and said, "How are you preparing?" ”

Shen Xin said: "The landing force has been prepared, the air-cushion landing craft are all in place, and we will launch an attack on the rocky beach just waiting for Lin Shuai's order." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Very good, I have a meeting this time, just to deploy a style of play." Hearing Lin Yuan's words, everyone looked at Lin Yuan intently, and Lin Yuan continued: "Our landing operation this time is a surprise attack, so it is very important to deceive the enemy. That's exactly what we're fighting this time! ”

"I believe you have already seen my interview, it was my strategic deception of Japan, the effect was very successful, the next step is to deceive the Japanese army tactically, so that the Japanese army believes: our landing site is absolutely impossible to be a rocky beach, and one of the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 landing sites!"

"The specific methods are: first, choose a time with poor visibility to launch an attack on the Japanese army, and under the conditions of poor visibility, the Japanese army found that our distance was greatly shortened, so the time we left for the enemy to respond was greatly shortened, which was very beneficial to us."

"Second: the landing force is divided into two clusters, one is a feint group, and the target is the beachhead of the Japanese army No. 1 to No. 3, with the purpose of attracting the attention of the Japanese army; The other part is the actual attack cluster, the goal is the rocky beach, the purpose is to seize the beach, open up the landing field, and expand the attack, and the formation of these two clusters is completed by yourself. ”

"It should be noted that the actual attack group should keep itself out of the sight of the Japanese army, and put down the landing craft outside the sight of the Japanese army, our landing craft are relatively small, and the Japanese army will not find them at a long distance, so that the Japanese army will not find out our real combat intentions, and when the Japanese army finds out that our real attack location is the rocky beach, they will not have time to mobilize troops! Do you understand? ”

Shen Xin and Yu Feng nodded one after another, and Lin Yuan said, "Okay, that's all I have to say, do you still have any questions?" ”

Shen Xin said: "This operation involves two parts, one is the army where we landed, and the other is the navy that transports the landing force.......

Lin Yuan said: "The core of the landing operation is the landing, and the army is the protagonist who is the indispensable protagonist, Shen Xin, you will be the commander-in-chief, Yu Feng, you must unconditionally obey Shen Xin's command!" ”

Yu Feng said: "My subordinates understand. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, you send me the detailed battle plan as soon as possible, and when the time comes, we will launch an attack." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he announced the dismissal of the meeting, the first division and the Vladivostok fleet were still very efficient, and the detailed battle plan was sent to Lin Yuan that night, Lin Yuan read it and found no problems, so he instructed: The battle plan is good and can be implemented.

On 6 February, Chen Fei sent news that a reconnaissance unit had infiltrated the Japanese position, and that they were carrying a large amount of FZ-1 bacteria that were spreading among the Japanese position. When Lin Yuan received the news, he immediately called Xiao Yingwu and instructed Xiao Yingwu: "We must carry out non-stop artillery bombardment of the core fortification group of the Japanese army, a small fight in three hours, and a big fight in five hours, giving the Japanese army a feeling: We will attack them at any time." ”

On 9 February, Shen Xin sent a message to Lin Yuan: "The meteorological unit has already reconnoitred clearly that there will be mist on the sea on 11 February, and according to the calculations of experts, the distance from the Japanese observation posts on the highlands will be sharply reduced to 20 kilometers from our fleet, while the distance from our fleet to the Japanese artillery positions and beaches will be 35 kilometers, so 11 February will be an excellent time to attack." ”

Lin Yuan immediately said: "Okay, we will launch a landing operation against the Japanese army on February 11!" ”
