In order to adapt to the needs of this expansion, Japan has strengthened its espionage activities against China.

Establish an intelligence network to prepare for the Sino-Japanese War. In the spring of 1886, the 27-year-old Japanese Army Lieutenant Arao Sei was ordered to establish an intelligence network in China. He first met with Ginka Kishida, the owner of Leshando Pharmacy in Shanghai, and received his full support. Three months later, Arao Sei presided over Hankou Leshantang, young Japanese ronin from Tianjin, Shanghai and other places came to hear the news, and 19-year-old Ishikawa Goichi was among them. Although Lezendo was affiliated to the Army General Staff Headquarters, the Arao spirits at this time did not have a penny of funds. Using business to support spies and using spies to promote business was the unique management method of the Japanese intelligence network during this period. These young Japanese people, who imitate the locals in clothing and hairstyles, have nothing but national pride and samurai spirit. Under the cover of doing business and selling medicine, they gradually extend their tentacles to all parts of China, successively in Beijing, Changsha, Chongqing, and Tianjin. Many branches were established in , Fuzhou and other places to form a spy network throughout China's major cities, and based on these cities, it extended its tentacles to China's vast rural areas. Another important spy agency is the Nissin Trade Research Institute, located in the British Concession in Shanghai. It was established in 1890.

After long-term observation, they submitted a report to the Japanese Navy, proposing that when Japan went to war with China, when it landed from Rongcheng Bay, it should adopt the tactics of attacking Weihaiwei from behind. Because Rongcheng Bay is wide and deep, the sandy bottom is suitable for anchoring. No matter how strong the northwest wind is, you can anchor safely. Moreover, it is located in a remote corner of the sea outside the Zhili Strait, far away from Weihaiwei, and just across the Weihai Sea. the back. This suggestion was adopted and played an important role in the Japanese defeat of the Beiyang Fleet.

Kawakami Soroku, the chief spy against China, personally went out to spy on the military situation. 1893 was the most critical year for Japan’s espionage work against China, and Japanese espionage activities were particularly rampant. At that time, although the Japanese government's policy of invading China had long been determined, and the army, navy and electronics had made various preparations for launching a war, the final judgment still needed to be made on when to launch the war and whether it could win.

In 1905, Russia, which spanned the Eurasian continent, failed in the Russo-Japanese War.

In 1902, Akashi Genjiro came to Petersburg as the deputy military attache of the embassy in Russia. At that time, Japan regarded Russia as its number one target for war preparations.

By collecting intelligence, Akashi discovered that Tsarist Russia was powerful on the surface but full of sharp ethnic contradictions inside. When the Russo-Japanese War began in 1904, the Japanese army had only about 300,000 mobile troops, while the Russian army had 1.2 million. So Akashi became more active in searching for revolutionaries against the tsar.

In March 1904, Akashi, who was deported to Sweden as an enemy alien, reached an intention to cooperate in the fight against Russia with Tsiliakus, the leader of the Finnish Independence Party who was living in seclusion in that country.

lt; Gambling to obtain funds>

In order to incite the Russian uprising, Akashi requested a huge sum of 1 million yen from the country, but was rejected by the Japanese commander, so he had to find another way. After watching roulette being played at a high-end casino in Stockholm, he used his knowledge of advanced mathematics to win big. It is said that in the Japanese military circles, there are only two people who can use advanced mathematics to solve the roulette game. Besides Akashi, the other one is Yamamoto Isoroku who attacked Pearl Harbor.

In addition to gambling and searching for money everywhere, Akashi bought weapons and tried every means to deliver them to the rebels. The Russian Socialist Revolutionary Party, the Caucasus rebels, etc. all obtained a large number of weapons.

lt;Planning the Russian Riotsgt;

Akashi also tried to establish an opposition alliance in Russia through the mediation of Tiliakus, and obtained the response of 8 Russian parties. Instigated by Japanese spies, riots broke out across Russia. The Polish independence leader called on Polish soldiers on the front line to turn their guns and fire on the Russian commander. Attacks on police stations and assassinations of officials also occurred along the Baltic Sea coast and in Transcaucasus... Faced with this situation, the Tsar was forced to agree to peace with Japan.

Some comments in Japan said: "Without General Nogi, Port Arthur could have been won; without General Togo, the Battle of the Sea of ??Japan could have been won; but without Genjiro Akashi, Japan would never have won the Russo-Japanese War. ” ?
