The storm came as promised, but it came one day earlier than expected.

For the meteorological observation level in this era, it only had one day error, and this prediction can be regarded as very accurate.

The typhoon was raging, covering up the roar of the huge fleet motors. Even the black smoke from the chimney was blown away by the wind, although there was not much black smoke from the warship after using fuel instead of coal.

The huge battleship of the Furious Battleship, with a displacement of 50,000 tons, was like a straw in this huge typhoon and storm, and was full of dangers.

This is the price that must be paid to take military action with the help of typhoons. Fortunately, the battleship of the Furious is very strong, and Li Weiguo does not have to worry about the warship being sunk by the huge waves, but he is also dizzy by the bumps of the waves.

Li Weiguo finally fell asleep, to be precise, he fainted. This was the most fragrant sleep he had in recent times.

When Li Weiguo woke up, the storm had passed and was thinking about the Japanese coastline blew away. The Chinese Empire Navy followed the storm and approached Edo Bay with the cover of the storm.

However, man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.

Seeing the typhoon approaching, Japan knew that the emperor suddenly announced a ship reading ritual in advance, and rushed before the typhoon landed in Japan.

The Chinese Empire's SHIELD agent lurking in Edo quickly sent the information back to Wuhan, Kyoto. The Minister of War Zhang Xiaoliu was also very surprised when he saw it. He hurriedly sent the Pacific Fleet's Fury through a wireless telegram to inform Li Weijun that he knew about this.

"What? The Japanese ship reading ceremony was held in advance?"

When Li Weiguo heard this, he was so angry that he turned over the table.

"Your Majesty calms down. It is said that the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Japan held a ship reading ceremony in advance. Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable!"

Li Weijun gritted his teeth and advised that at this time he wished he could strangle the little Japanese emperor to death and dare to make His Majesty the Emperor of our Chinese Empire angry. He deserves to be killed.

The expected thunderous anger did not appear. Li Weiguo just couldn't accept the fact that he had worked hard to get out of the water, but he was still very rational.

"What else did the intelligence say?"

"Report to your Majesty, the information said that the Japanese Emperor held a ship reading ceremony in advance on the surface. On the one hand, it was because of the typhoon relationship and was worried that the typhoon would last too long, so it was held in advance. In fact, the Japanese Emperor was worried that someone would cause damage to the ship reading ceremony, so he held it in advance and caught the enemy off guard."

Li Weiguo nodded and said, "This reason is quite far-fetched! It is possible that Nengjiu's side leaked information. He knew that he must have arranged a high-level spy around Nengjiu, and what else?"

"There is also..." Li Weijun glanced at Li Weiguo and said carefully: "There is also an unverified piece of information. The American ambassador to Japan told Japan that the war might break out at any time and asked Japan to strengthen defenses in various places. It is precisely because of this that the emperor decided to hold a ship review ritual in advance, and then ordered the Japanese joint fleet to quickly return to Sasebo and local naval bases to increase the level of defense."

Li Weiguo suddenly turned dark and said coldly: "So, our plan has been discovered by the United States and it has been leaked internally!"

Li Weijun said: "It is not yet certain that the Ministry of War, the Homeland Security Bureau and the SHIELD have launched internal investigations. The plan to attack Edo Bay is top secret. Not many people know about it. It is easier to investigate it, and it will be a result soon."

Li Weiguo frowned and said, "What can we do if we find the leaker? This time the plan leaked, we have worked hard for more than a year and are wasting our efforts."

Li Weijun advised: "Although that's the case, it's worth it if we can find out the spies hidden in the high-level of the empire!"

Li Weiguo suddenly burst into a cold sweat. If such high-level secrets were leaked, it means that the enemy spies had lurked in the core department of the Chinese Empire. This cliff is a terrifying round of missiles, which will cause a devastating blow to the Chinese Empire at critical moments.

So Li Weiguo immediately ordered Zhang Xiaoliu, Mingyue and Li Bin to find out the leaked secrets and not make any mistakes.

At the same time, Japan held a ship reading ceremony in advance, forcing Li Weiguo to change his sneak attack plan.

"Your Majesty, our current location is probably not as good as the ship reading style. We can only launch an attack halfway through the way back to Sasebo Naval Base."

At this point, Li Weiguo had no better way. Although the plan to attack Edo Bay was bankrupt, if he just returned empty-handed, it was not Li Weiguo's character, so he decided to intercept the Japanese joint fleet halfway.

In this way, the war zone was transferred from the planned Edo Bay to the southwest coastal area of ​​Japan.

However, what Li Weiguo never expected was that Japan knew that the real reason for the emperor's change of plan was because the American ambassador officially conveyed to the Allies that the American Navy was about to go to war against the Chinese Empire, and required all members of the Allies to be prepared for a full-scale war with the Allies.

Knowing that the Emperor had learned about this, he wanted to strangle Roosevelt to death. Although he didn't think that Japan was so angry that he was hostile to the Chinese Empire, he was not mentally prepared to start a real war with the Chinese Empire.

Especially after the Japanese joint fleet was destroyed by the Imperial Navy twice, the entire Japanese Navy was scared to talk about the Imperial Navy.

Now, the American Navy is determined to take the lead in attacking the Chinese Empire's navy. Not to mention whether it can succeed. Even if it succeeds, the Chinese Empire's crazy counterattack is in front of the Japanese Empire. After all, Japan is too close to the Chinese Empire. If the Chinese Empire wants to counterattack the United States, it must first defeat Japan.

The Japanese Navy Combined Fleet was the first obstacle to the Chinese Empire.

The decision to inform the Japanese Empire at the last minute was because Carter's words alerted Roosevelt. That is, the real purpose of the American Navy's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was to defeat the main force of the Chinese Empire's naval force, win the Pacific sea power, and win at least three years of strategic advantage for the United States. But if the Japanese Empire is not notified, then the Japanese Empire hastily responded and may not be the opponent of the Chinese Empire.

Japan's premature defeat was equivalent to causing the United States to lose a pawn that restrained the power of the Chinese Empire, which was not in line with the national interests of the United States.

Therefore, at the last moment, Roosevelt's attitude relaxed, and he decided to notify the Japanese Empire a few days in advance to make the Japanese Empire ready for war. As for Britain, France, Russia and other countries, Roosevelt did not intend to hide it, because telling Japan was equivalent to telling Britain, France and Russia. There was no need to hide it, so let them all notify.

Although Roosevelt's preemptive plan made the members of the Allied countries such as Britain, France, Russia and Japan very dissatisfied and annoyed that Roosevelt provoked the war in advance, he had to admit that the Allied countries had no economic strength, industrial strength and military strength that could catch up with the Chinese Empire. If this continues, even the United States could not catch up with the Chinese Empire, it would be more passive, and it would be unreasonable to take preemptive.

At the same time, America is the backbone of the Allies, and Britain, France, Russia and Japan are very clear that without the participation of the United States, they would not be able to defeat the Allied Group, and they would not even win against the Chinese Empire. Therefore, even if they were scolding Roosevelt in their mouths and hearts, they had to go to the same pace as Roosevelt and prepare for the war.

This is also the real reason why the Emperor knew that the temporary decision of the Emperor to hold a ship review ceremony in advance and then let the Japanese joint fleet return to Sasebo immediately to prevent the Chinese Empire.

Even though he knew that the Emperor was planning to cancel the ship reading and prepare for war in full, the American ambassador did not want the Chinese Empire to be warned and asked the Japanese military to prepare secretly. The ship reading was an event that attracted the attention of the Chinese Empire and could not be cancelled.

The international situation always changes so quickly that it is unpredictable and contemplated.

Li Weiguo thought it was his own leak, so he ordered the relevant intelligence departments to conduct a thorough investigation, but unexpectedly found a poisonous snake hidden inside the key department of the Chinese Empire.

Since only a few senior officials of the empire knew about the plan to attack Japan, it was very easy to investigate.

Zhang Xiaoliu, Mingyue and Li Bin personally led the team to monitor all insiders and their subordinates, questioned one by one, and conducted lie detection at the same time.

There were more than 500 people including the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the Minister of the Secretariat of various departments of the three provinces and six ministries, as well as relevant personnel involved in the formulation of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 military operations, and the confidential office personnel, etc., all of whom were conducting routine inquiries and lie detection.

Among them, the lie detector is the most important method. This is an advanced equipment invented by Li Weiguo. It uses human psychology and heartbeat rate and combines the voltmeter equipment to form a set of the most primitive lie detectors. As long as the other party lies, subtle emotions and heartbeat rate fluctuations will occur, which will affect the drastic changes in the voltmeter pointer.

People are born to lie and use force, and anyone has their own secrets and lies.

So in response to this situation, Li Weiguo set up a series of questions inquiry items at the beginning, just like a psychologist giving a question paper to the patient, which was filled with various simple questions, all of which were problems in life, very simple.

The interrogator will ask these life questions at the beginning until the person under trial enters the state and the voltmeter stabilizes, and suddenly asks a key question. Generally, lies will have a violent psychological fluctuation, which will be directly exposed.

Of course, in later generations, many international spy agencies would conduct anti-lie detection training on spies, so that spies can easily pass the enemy's lie detection equipment.

But in this era, other countries did not have equipment like lie detectors. Except for the intelligence agencies of the Chinese Empire, officials from the three provinces and six ministries and other departments did not know what this thing was for, so they were not mentally prepared.

They only think that this kind of device is a medical device, so many of their secrets and lies are exposed instantly.

Almost everyone is lying. Of course, Zhang Xiaoliu and others do not care about these lies in life that do not involve state secrets. They only care about who is the spy.

"What? No?"

"This is impossible. No matter how smart the spy is, it is impossible to avoid our lie detector!"

Zhang Xiaoliu, Mingyue and Li Bin met, but the lurking spy was not found, which surprised the three of them.

"Unless, unless this spy knows our lie detector system!"

"You mean this spy is someone inside our Intelligence Agency? This is impossible!"

"Maybe, have you been in the Intelligence Agency before? Or have you received a lie detector before?"

"It is also possible that it is not one person, but two spies, who cover each other?"

The three of them discussed in depth and quickly found a series of possibilities, and then started a new round of investigations.

If it were the case before, after a round of lie detectors, the second round of investigation would never be conducted, because a lie detector would be enough to handle it.

But this time, Li Weiguo believed that it was an internal intelligence leak, and some spies sneaked into the top leaders of the empire, which forced Zhang Xiaoliu and others to capture the hidden spy.

If Li Weiguo knew that all this was a coincidence, not an internal leak, but a collision with Roosevelt's plan, it would probably not be like this.

But by chance, Zhang Xiaoliu and others vowed to dig out the spy, but they really dug out it out.

Xu Yan, the daughter of Xu Shou, the archivist of the confidential office of the Ministry of War, the vice president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and the head of District 51, is a man of Miaohong. No one will doubt her.

However, it was Xu Yan who lurked in the Chinese Empire for a full twenty years. She was not the real Xu Yan, but the Japanese, Nanzao Rumiko.

Twenty years ago, Rumiko Nanzao followed his father Nanzaochen to Shanghai, China, and became the first spy who knew the government was lurking in China. They had no mission and just lurked at all costs.

By chance, the twelve-year-old Rumiko Nanzao met her classmate Xu Yan at the girls' school. The two had a good relationship. After a long time, Rumiko Nanzao knew Xu Yan's identity and knew that her father was Xu Shou, so she had a plan to impersonate him.

Xu Shou spent all his time on work and rarely visited his daughter. Nanzao Rumiko looks very similar to Xu Yan. In addition, the girl was when the girl was changing in age, so an accident happened. The real Xu Yan was killed. Nanzao Rumiko impersonated Xu Yan and became Xu Yan. From then on, she gained an undoubted identity and privileged status in the Chinese Empire. When she grew up, she was transferred to the Secretariat of the Ministry of War.

Rumiko Minamizo has never been awakened by her "superiors". She continues to lurk. Even though she accidentally saw the General Staff's war game plan against Japan, she did not take the initiative to convey intelligence to the outside world.

Unfortunately, she was very confused. Zhang Xiaoliu and others mistakenly thought that there was a spy who was hiding deeply in the key departments of the empire's top leaders. Originally, Rumiko Nanzao was not overly concerned because of her special identity. The people who tested her were asked casually, and they went through the motions and did not doubt her.

However, Zhang Xiaoliu and others couldn't find anyone, so they had to increase their efforts to investigate.

So, the testers were also cheered up. They couldn't find the spy and they couldn't afford to take care of it. So during the second round of investigation, they became more serious. Rumiko Nanzao did not avoid it. She exposed too many lies in the second round of lie detection, which attracted Li Bin's attention.

Since Li Bin couldn't find the spy who was hiding deeply, he also had a headache and paid attention to the fake "Xu Yan".

But at this time, after receiving the news that the war was about to begin, the Japanese side was eager to get information from the Emperor of China, so they sent a contact person to awaken "Daisy". Daisy was the code name of Rumiko Nanzao, but it happened to hit the gun and was caught by Mingyue and Li Bin's subordinates. After interrogation, the truth was revealed.

An accident caused Li Weiguo to lose the opportunity to attack Edo Bay, but he accidentally caught a spy hidden in the confidential room of the Ministry of War. It can be said that it was a great blessing.

After learning about this, Li Weiguo was also shocked, but he had no intention of focusing on it because another big thing happened.
