    Wei Jichen received the telegram and saw that it was indeed a good news sent to him by Nie Shicheng, but it also mentioned the problem of the army becoming chaotic in the later stage of the attack.

    Wei Jichen narrowed his eyes slightly. Including the Korean army, it was an army of 300,000 people. It was indeed not easy to control. Looking at ancient times, in ancient times, armies were mobilized by carrier pigeons, trumpets, and messengers. But with dozens of troops like this  Wan Dajun doesn't have strong scheduling ability, so he can easily let go like a duck.

    Today, although there is one more means, radio and wired, Marcii radio is too bulky, far from the kindergarten of the communications soldiers in the future.

    We need to find more things for Tesla to do. Tesla once made wireless motors, and competed with Marconi for the invention patent of wireless motors. He also invented the radio. Let¡¯s see if he can come up with one if he wants.  Military phone system comes.

    "There is only Busan Port left in the whole of Korea. I don't believe that the Japanese navy can still sit still." Wei Jichen handed the telegram to everyone to read one by one, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning as he looked at Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan's largest military port.

    Faced with China's total blockade, the Japanese navy has always avoided fighting except using old-fashioned gunboat cruisers as bait boats to lure submarines. It seems that they are accumulating strength or waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, but now they are  The North Korean army has fled to Busan. Presumably under the pressure of the military headquarters, it will be dispatched to rescue people, otherwise it will easily affect the morale of the military.

    The contact between Wei Jichen and Gui Tailang has been interrupted, so he can only study the Japanese strategies and tactics on his own.

    If the Japanese still don¡¯t take action, Wei Jichen can only urge Liu Buchan to take the initiative. Although the Beiyang Fleet has added several new ships and the fleet is not well integrated, Wei Jichen is afraid that the Americans will get involved.

    The Spanish-American War was still the same as in the original history. The Spanish fleet had long been superficial and lost the majesty of the old Armada. Under the encirclement and annihilation of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, the entire Spanish fleet was destroyed, with 7 ships sunk and 2 captured.  Fleet Commander Cervera and more than a thousand officers and soldiers were captured, while only two US ships were slightly injured.

    The huge victory achieved by the US fleet completely cut off the Spanish army in Cuba. It is believed that it will surrender or be annihilated before long.

    If the freed-up American fleet has an opportunity, it will definitely cooperate with Japan to deal with China. Therefore, Wei Jichen wants to get rid of the Japanese navy before the end of the Spanish-American War.

    Wei Jichen's guess was correct. The Japanese Navy had no intention of going to war in the first place, but was forced to prepare for an attack due to domestic pressure. However, just when Togo Hachihir¨­ was preparing for the attack, another telegram was sent from the Japan War Headquarters.  , let him postpone his attack.

    The reason lies in the United States. After the U.S. Navy achieved a glorious victory, it was eager for revenge and attempted to join forces with the Japanese Navy to deal with the Chinese Navy.

    It¡¯s just that although the Spanish-American Naval War is over, the Spanish Army has not yet been solved. Therefore, the Americans asked the Japanese to postpone the attack and delay the attack, waiting for them to solve Spain before joint operations.

    The Japanese are naturally eager for it.

    However, the war situation took a new turn at this time.

    In the base camp during the Japanese War, news of the defeat of the Japanese and Korean regiments has come back, and the atmosphere in the base camp is not very good.

    Especially the veteran of the army, Oyama Iwa, looked very unhappy and said angrily: "Umezawa Michiji, a loser, promised us not long ago that there would be no problem if he held on for a month. Unexpectedly, he can't even hold on for a day now."

    The main fleet of the United States is in the Atlantic Ocean. Even if the Spanish-American War ends, South America will still have to be spared. When they arrive in Asia, it will not be less than a month.

    "More than 10,000 soldiers have fled to Busan. If we don't dispatch the navy to rescue them, I'm afraid it will arouse denunciation from the people." Needless to say, the person who said this must be the super spy Japanese Army Minister Katsura Taro.

    Katar¨­¡¯s helpless sigh was like a big stone, weighing on the hearts of all the Japanese.

    Yamamoto Gonbei took a deep breath and persisted in his opinion: "Gentlemen, compared with the life and death of the empire, a little sacrifice is inevitable. As long as we persist for another month, after the U.S. fleet joins the war,  The Chinese are bound to lose, and it would be unwise to engage in a decisive battle with the Chinese navy now."

    "Yamamoto-kun, there are more than 10,000 imperial soldiers, and they are not just sacrifices for you." Katsura said with a frown.

    Yamamoto Gonbei Huo stood up and said angrily: "Since they have failed, they should accept the shame of failure. Your Majesty, for the future of the empire, I beg you to wait for another month.  "

    "Accept the shame of failure, huh,Something happened to the Second Squadron of the Combined Fleet. Why didn't anyone step up and take responsibility? If the Second Squadron was still there, why would the empire be in such danger?  "

    "Okay!" Mutsuhito stopped the quarrel between the two, looked at Shanxian Youtomo and Katsura Taro, and asked in a deep voice: "Two Qings, what do you think?"

    "This!" The two looked at Katsura Taro and Yamamoto Gonbei, but were speechless.

    In fact, they were partial to Yamamoto Gonbei in their hearts. They all felt that Katsura Taro had some benevolence as a woman. As long as he could win in the end, he would not save 10,000 soldiers, not even 20,000 soldiers. If he was so cruel, he would not be saved.  As veterans of the army, they were naturally speechless.

    As soon as Mu Ren saw their expressions, he knew what they were thinking, and immediately said with a sad face: "My lords, we must remember today's shame. One day, we will get it back together, and this  It¡¯s not too far away.¡±

    Constantinople, Kaiser Wilhelm II is visiting here. After signing a railway project with the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II, Wilhelm II finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    This railway was the Berlin-Baghdad railway that later led to the outbreak of World War I. You can see from the world map that from Berlin to Baghdad, the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bulgaria, and Turkey are lined up.  There is only a small strip of land across this railway chain, blocking the connection between the east and west. This is Serbia.

    ¡°If the Berlin-Baghdad railway is built, this area, which produces countless economic wealth, cannot be attacked by the British maritime military power, and the huge inland territory will be unified around Germany.

    Russia and its Western friends, Britain and France, will be separated by this barrier.

    The British interests in Egypt are within the effective strike range of the German and Turkish armies, and the two armies can directly threaten India from the Persian Gulf.

    There is no doubt that this railway will be a German attack on British hegemony and will seriously affect British interests.

    And just today, Kaiser Wilhelm II took advantage of the Anglo-Boer War to win over the Ottoman Empire and complete this strategic railway project.
