When Fujita Izumo heard what Kawaguchi Konoe said, he couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and agreed, and said, "Okay, let's go to Busan now."

Kawaguchi Konoe said: "Okay, let's end this meeting here, let's end the meeting."

After the meeting was over, Fujita Izumo and Scott walked outside. Fujita Izumo asked Scott while walking, "Mr. Scott, why didn't you say a word at the meeting just now?"

Scott said: "I was thinking of a way to fight against Lin Yuan's troops."

Fujita Izumo asked: "Then have you thought about it?"

Scott shook his head in pain and said, "Not yet."

The two let out a long sigh, went back to pack their things, and took people to Busan.

Konoe Kawaguchi also returned to his headquarters, and just after returning, an attendant came over and said, "Division Commander, General Nogi Noki has called you."

Kawaguchi Konoe hurriedly asked, "Did General Nogi Nozomi say something?"

The attendant said: "No, General Nogi Xidian ordered: call him when you come back."

Kawaguchi Konoe nodded, agreed, and then came to the operator room, and said to the operator: "Pick me up Wang Jing, General Nogi Nozomi."

The operator hurriedly stretched out his hand to operate the machine, and the line was connected in a short time. To Konoe Kawaguchi's surprise, he didn't wait at all, and the voice of Nogi Nozomi came from the other side of the phone: "Kawaguchi-san, is that you? "

Konoe Kawaguchi thought in his heart: "General Nogi Noki was able to talk to me so quickly, which means that he has been waiting by the phone. General Nogi Noki has been waiting by the phone when he is so busy, which means that he wants to tell me. The matter is not trivial." Thinking of these, Kawaguchi Konoe asked: "General Nogi, what do you have to do?"

Nogi Nozomi said: "I want to tell you, you must guard Wonsan no matter what!"

Konoe Kawaguchi said helplessly: "General Nogi, I also want to defend Wonsan, but it is a fantasy to defend here. Do you know that Lin Yuan's troops have concentrated five divisions and two independent troops in front of me?" brigade, a total of 12 people, and an unknown number of bomber units, while our third and fourth divisions add up to only 6 people."

"It turned out that we were no match for Lin Yuan's army, but now Lin Yuan's army has become more and we have become less. How can we be their opponent?"

Nogi Nozomi said: "Kawaguchi-san, you should know the importance of Wonsan to us, right?"

Konoe Kawaguchi said: "General Nogi, of course I know the importance of Wonsan to us. Wonsan is the starting point of the Yuanping Railway and the Yuanjing Railway. These two railways cross the mountains in the middle of the Korean Peninsula, and one goes straight to Pyongyang. One line goes straight to Wangjing, and if Wonsan is captured by Lin Yuan's troops, they will follow these two railways and go straight to Pyongyang and Wangjing, and then they will occupy the entire North Korea."

Nogi Nozomi said: "You have a very clear analysis of the war situation in North Korea, so you must guard Wonsan."

Kawaguchi Konoe said: "If you want to defend Wonsan, you need to have troops. Can you transfer the first division stationed on the Andong border between China and North Korea, and then mobilize troops from Wangjing and Pyongyang, as well as the Imperial Scouts?" The main force, if they are all mobilized, our strength will be almost equal to that of Lin Yuan's, so at least we will not lose to Lin Yuan's troops."

Nogi Xidian said: "The first division is stationed on the border between China and North Korea to guard against the second division of Lin Yuan's troops. If they are not stationed on the border between China and North Korea, Lin Yuan's troops will drive straight in and take down Pyongyang, Wang Jing, and Pyongyang's Fifth Division." The Division and Wang Jing’s Sixth Division cannot be transferred to you, but the Imperial Scouts, I can transfer it to you now.”

Kawaguchi Konoe thought helplessly: "It took me a long time to talk, and finally I only transferred a group of furry children to me. How could I use those furry children to block Lin Yuan's [-] tigers and wolves!"

Nogi Nozomi said: "Mr. Kawaguchi, there is a saying in China called 'Taking by Wisdom'. I don't know if you understand its meaning."

Kawaguchi Konoe said: "Of course I understand. The meaning of this word is: to deal with an enemy stronger than yourself, do not use force, but use resourcefulness."

Nogi Xidian said: "That's right, now you should use your resourcefulness to defeat Lin Yuan."

Kawaguchi Konoe groaned secretly in his heart: "Lin Yuan's sword is on my neck, how can I use my ingenuity to defeat Lin Yuan, not to mention that Lin Yuan is a genius, all kinds of conspiracies emerge in endlessly, I use tricks in front of him It really echoed the saying of the Chinese people: 'Guan Gong is playing a big knife in front of the gate'."

Nogi Nozomi laughed when Kawaguchi Konoe didn't speak: "Kawaguchi-san, there is only one thing we have to do now, and that is to wait!"

Kawaguchi Konoe hurriedly asked: "Wait? What are you waiting for?"

Nogi Nozomi said: "Waiting for Western countries to intervene, I am afraid that our Great Japanese Empire alone will be difficult to fight against Lin Yuan, so we have to rely on the power of Western countries, but Western countries are far away from here, what they need most is time ! We're going to give them time."

Konoe Kawaguchi thought for a while and asked, "General Nogi, what do you mean: we want to hold back Lin Yuan's troops as much as possible to give Britain, America and other countries time?"

Nogi Xidian said: "That's right! We are going to use delaying tactics. Among the Chinese, this is called a tactic of delaying troops! You immediately send a secret envoy to find Lin Yuan's troops, say that you want an uprising on the battlefield, and then negotiate with Lin Yuan, so that you can Hold back Lin Yuan's troops."

Kawaguchi Konoe hesitated for a moment, and said, "Will Lin Yuan's troops see through this trick?"

Nogi Xidian said with a smile: "All tricks have the possibility of being seen through by the enemy. Can we not use tricks because we are afraid of being seen through?"

Kawaguchi Konoe said: "I understand, I will start to do this right now."

Nogi Nozomi smiled and said, "Kawaguchi-san, do you have anyone who can delay the attack?"

Kawaguchi Konoe said: "I will select the right person from the secret service."

Nogi Xidian said: "No need, I have already selected the right person for you, he will arrive at your place soon, you are ready to meet him, well, I have nothing to do."

Nogi Xidian put down the phone after finishing speaking, and said to an attendant, "Bring me the code book in the safe." The attendant opened the safe, took out a code book from it, handed it to Nogi Xidian, and said, "How about I The translator called to translate for you?"

Nogi Nozomi shook his head and said, "No need, I have to translate this message into code myself, you go out first."

The attendant was shocked after hearing this, and thought: "What is this telegram? General Nogi has to translate it himself!" The attendant walked out while thinking, and Nogi Xidian put on his reading glasses, translating word by word : "Supreme Command, Plan No. [-] has begun, Nogi Nozomi!"
