At this time, in a dense forest outside the Nanyang Navy Army Port in Wusongkou, two people with mysterious whereabouts were talking. When they heard their language, they knew it was a little Japanese, but what were they doing here in the middle of the night?

After Ishikawa Wuichi bought the intelligence from Li Hongzhang's nephew Liu Fen at a high price, he immediately reported it to the Shanghai spy agency Netsuichi, and Netsuichi immediately sent a report to the base camp to report the matter. Then Japanese Army General Shizuki Honjo ordered Netsuichi to immediately find out the movements of the North and South Navy Navy and the departure time. So Netsuichi who received the order immediately ordered Ishikawa Wuichi and Soba Kotaro who were investigating in the Lushun area of ​​Weihai to pay close attention to the movements of the North and South Navy Navy. At the same time, Ken Takahashi and Yinka Kishida secretly monitored the movements of the South and South Navy to find out whether the South and South Navy really went to sneak attack Nagasaki, Japan.

Just now, Nezuichi had just received an urgent telegram from Soba Kotaro, saying: A total of 14 warships such as the Beiyang Navy's main ship, Dingzhen, and other ones set off from Lushun and escorted more than 4,000 Qing troops to the direction of North Korea. So Nezuichi hurriedly called Ken Takahashi and Yinka Kishida to go to Wusongkou Military Port, the Nanyang Navy's headquarters, to check the movements of the Nanyang Navy.

So Ken Takahashi and Yinka Kishida came here late at night. But they did not see that the Chilean Navy had joined the Nanyang Navy.

"Mr. Kishida Yinka, you see that the Nanyang Navy has set off, but the two troop transport ships did not follow. I think the Nanyang Navy's sneak attack was fake, and it was true to cover the Beiyang Navy's troops. It seems that Ishikawa's intelligence is true. The Beiyang Navy escorted the troop transport ship without sufficient ammunition. It seems that it is the emperor's blessing. If our Japanese Navy can seize the fighter jet this time, it will definitely damage the Beiyang Navy!" Ken Takahashi analyzed.

"Yes, there are obviously many soldiers on those two ships, (Zhang Yunfei picked up the remaining 500 people and was still on it). In fact, the Nanyang Navy only had a few old wooden warships. How could it withstand the attack of our Japanese joint fleet, and it was even more impossible to attack the local area. Maybe they just arrived at the sea to rescue the enemy? Haha!" Kishida Yinka said.

"Yes, according to the information, the Admiral of the Nanyang Navy, Zhang Yunfei, was just an authentic playboy. How could he have the courage to attack our Great Japanese Empire? When the advanced Beiyang Navy saw the joint fleet of our Great Japanese Empire, they were like mice and cats, and they were too late to hide!" Takahashi Ken said proudly.

"I agree with Mr. Gao's words! Based on my decades of understanding of the Qing Dynasty, this empire was fragmented during the period of their peasant uprising Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The real power of various regions was still nominally in the hands of the Manchus, but in fact it was controlled by the Han people. The current situation is actually similar to the shogunate of the Great Japanese Empire. Warlords separatist and exclusion and suppression of each other. The Qing court could no longer restrict the Han people. It really couldn't understand why these Han governors couldn't get up to overthrow this slave dynasty, but were willing to be slaves of Manchus?" Kishida Yinka said.

"Yes, the Han people are all sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Being slaves from Qing Dynasty is not enough. Now they want to be slaves to Europeans. Only our great Japanese Empire has awakened and become a ferocious tiger! These sheep will be a delicious meal for tigers! Haha!" Takahashi Ken said with a laugh.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back and tell Colonel Nenzin that the Nanyang Navy is indeed just a cover, and the Qing Huai Army used for landing operations did not go together!" said Ken Takahashi.

"Okay!" Kishida Yinka replied.

So the two left.

In a secret villa in Shanghai, Nezuchi looked at Ken Takahashi and Jinda's analysis with satisfaction.

"It seems that what Ishikawa said was false to cover the Beiyang Navy's sneak attack on our country. When it was dawn in our country, would he still dare to launch a sneak attack in broad daylight? Haha, ridiculous! It is true that I want to use the Great Japanese Empire Navy to eliminate the Nanyang Navy and Zhang Yunfei. The Beiyang Navy will definitely think that our Navy will attack the Nanyang Navy, but relax its vigilance and lack of ammunition. This is a great opportunity for our Great Japanese Navy to eliminate the Beiyang Navy. Well, I will report to the base camp now! You will also bring your contributions together! Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Thank you, Lord Nezuchi! Long live the Great Japanese Empire!" Ken Takahashi and Yinka Kishida also shouted.

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

I don’t know if you are familiar with spy 007. Many times 007 mastered the final victory or defeat of the war. However, many people do not know that the Sino-Japanese War in 1894-1895 was largely due to Japanese spies.

After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Japan began to gradually embark on the militarist path of foreign expansion. In order to adapt to the needs of this expansion, Japan began to espionage against China.

In 1886, before the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, Leshantang, the largest spy agency in China, was established. It was founded in Hankou by Ayao, the important leader of Japanese spies to China. Leshantang gradually extended its tentacles to all parts of China by operating eye drops, books and groceries as a cover. It established many branches in Beijing, Changsha, Chongqing, Tianjin, Fuzhou and other places, forming a spy network spread throughout China's major cities, and using these cities as bases to extend its tentacles to China's vast rural areas. Another important spy agency is the Japanese-Sheng Trade Institute, located in the British Concession in Shanghai. It was established in 1890. Its director is also Ayao and its acting director, Netsuichi, a spy training institution named after the cultivation of "China-Japan Trade Talents".

1893 was the most critical year for Japan's intelligence on China, and Japanese espionage was particularly rampant. At that time, although the Japanese government's policy of invasion of China had long been determined and the army and navy had made many preparations for launching a war, the final judgment still needed to make when to launch a war and whether it could win. In April 1893, the leader of the intelligence officer of the Chinese army, Kawakami Satoshi Kawakami, personally visited North Korea and China for field investigations to make final preparations for launching a war.

After visiting Busan, Incheon, Seoul of North Korea, Kawakami took a boat to Tianjin via Yantai. He stayed in Tianjin for a month, visited the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, visited the Military Academy, watched the artillery artillery practice and infantry practice steps, and personally boarded the Beitang Fort to watch the mountain artillery exercise. Accompanied by the military officer of the Embassy in China, Kawakami also secretly inspected the terrain around Tianjin. During this trip to China, Kawakami further learned about the extreme corruption of the Qing government, and conducted a detailed investigation of the combat power, terrain, customs and humanities of the Qing army, and was sure that the Qing government would lose if it was war.

After returning to Japan, Kawakami Kawakami Toshio Toshio, the military officer of the Embassy of Kawakami Toshio and Takigawa Toshio separate the investigation into the fortifications of the Bohai Bay waterway and the Shandong Peninsula, Liaodong Peninsula, Tianjin, Tanggu and other places. Inoue Toshio set out from Yantai in May and spent two months traveling to the Shandong Peninsula, Liaodong Peninsula and the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. Every time he went, he carefully observed the garrisoning of the fort. Every distance of the ocean he traveled was about 100 kilometers, he used a thousand kilograms to test the depth of the water and collected detailed geographical and hydrological data required for the operation.

At the same time, Takigawa Hirokata also set off from Tanggu on a sailboat and headed north along the Bohai Coast. He traveled along the coastline for a month and conducted detailed reconnaissance and records of the depth of the water, whether there are beaches, whether the seabed is mud or rock, the number of civilian ships, transportation conditions, etc., and selected suitable locations for the Japanese army to land near Beidaihe in the future.

Military corpses often say that they know themselves and their enemies, and they will win every battle! The Qing Dynasty's family was completely seen by the Japanese, and they were still confused by the sweet words of Japan. However, they did not know that Japan's war against the Qing Dynasty was a foregone conclusion. Japan ordered spies to send fake information back to Japan to confuse the Japanese people. It said that the Qing Dynasty was constantly increasing its troops in Korea, and the whole country was preparing to eliminate Japan as an excuse to launch a war. What about this? The Qing court and Li Hongzhang, who did not understand the international situation, were counting on Britain to mediate. Britain signed an British-Japanese alliance with Japan at this time, so he also hoped that the United States would mediate again, but he did not know that it was precisely because of the United States' Asian policy that Japan finally decided to declare war on the Qing Dynasty, and the United States also covered up Japanese spies in China, which caused the Qing Dynasty's clearance of spies to eventually fail, resulting in huge losses in the Sino-Japanese War.

(As for the issue behind the United States, it will be explained in the next volume)

The chief of the Japanese Staff Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan (Japanese Base Camp) and the general of the Army, Prince Shizuhito Sugawamiya, opened the emergency telegram from Netsuchi, which had just been sent by Onojun from the Telegraph Department.

"Ono-kun, immediately generate electricity to the joint fleet of Sasebo Naval Base and notify the intelligence to the commander of the joint fleet Yuuki Ito. Tell him to act as planned!" Prince Shiren Sugawamiya ordered.

"Hi!" Onojun took the information and turned around and left.

"Success or failure is here!" Prince Chiren of Sugawa Miya.
