Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

(Apologies to the readers. Last night, I uploaded the wrong chapter. Although it was deleted later, it can still be seen on the first page of the book. I'm sorry for the readers, woohoo...)

Lin Yuan and the Beijing ship have been paying attention to the battle situation in the Northeast. The fleets of France and Germany are not enough. After all, the strength of the Beijing ship at sea is unparalleled.Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the United States only followed Russia and Japan to pick up some fruit to eat, so Lin Yuan focused his energy on dealing with Russia and Japan.

At the meeting, someone pointed out that it is better to threaten the two countries and kill their emperors if they do not withdraw their troops, just like threatening the Japanese.

Soon some people raised objections. This trick was used last time, but people are prepared, and it is not easy to do this. Take the Japanese as an example, although they can’t make stealth and supersonic cruise. Fighter fighters, but they must have understood the principles of aircraft, and they are also prepared for air strikes.

Lin Yuan said: "Comrades, I have a way, which can not only regain the lost ground from the enemy, but also strengthen our strength!"

Everyone looked at him, and Lin Yuan said again: "I plan to go to the Qing court to get some soldiers, and then take these soldiers to recover the Northeast!"

When everyone heard this, they all thought silently in their hearts: "Is the captain crazy?"

Han Mingguang said: "How is this possible? First of all, will the Qing government let you lead the army? Secondly, even if you lead the army, how will you regain the lost ground?"

Lin Yuan said: "I still have a certain degree of certainty, because I have the support of the Beijing ship, and I have another advantage in doing so, we can fight all the way to the outer northeast, Vladivostok, Sakhalin and so on. These places are rich in resources, so we don’t have to worry about not being able to develop.”

Chief of Staff Shi Yunkai said: "Is this plan too risky?"

Lin Yuan said: "Our development in Ryukyu is really too slow. It is impossible to continue like this. Let me give you an example. If the Japanese can also manufacture airplanes, such a thing is not impossible, because according to our information, , the Japanese have already started research in this area. The aircraft they have developed must be powered by piston engines and propellers as propellers. Since propeller propulsion loses a lot of efficiency when it is close to the speed of sound, this kind of aircraft must be powered by piston engines. will fly no faster than Mach 1."

"However, this kind of aircraft can be mass-produced, and our carrier-based aircraft, when facing this kind of aircraft, undoubtedly faces the embarrassing situation of anti-aircraft guns hitting mosquitoes. Our carrier-based aircraft was designed to fight against the F22. This kind of aircraft is like dealing with the overwhelming Japanese fleet. It is inevitable that it will be powerless, because there are only a few missiles and cannon shells that can be loaded on an aircraft, which is definitely not enough to shoot down all the Japanese aircraft, so we must speed up the development. speed."

"As for what to do when I get to the Qing court, I have my own way. After all, the Beijing ship is my strong backing. With the high technology on the Beijing ship, I will definitely be able to get soldiers from the Qing court and regain the lost ground. .”

Han Mingguang said: "That's good. However, you are really alone and alone. Do you want to find a few more people?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let Fade Chen go with me."

Then Lin Yuan said: "During the time I'm away, I hope that the Korean political commissar will do a good job in our technological development work, which is the foundation of our future development and growth, and pay tribute to the scientists and engineers in Ryukyu on my behalf. "

Soon, Lin Yuan and Fade Chen set off for Beijing. Shen Wanqing, who was still in Ryukyu, heard the news, her heart couldn't help beating wildly, and she was very worried that something would happen to him.

On the way, Fade Chen said worriedly: "Our Beijing ship is finished, we have failed the expectations of the people..."

Lin Yuan knew that Fade Chen was a person who would never worry, but he didn't expect to show a worried look today, so he smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Fade Chen said: "Our Captain Lin Yuan is crazy. He wants to go to the Qing court to borrow troops. Will that group of people listen to you? And the combat effectiveness of that group of people, they can't even defend the country. Now Isn't it crazy that you want to take them to take back the lost land?"

Lin Yuan laughed "hehe" twice, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely have a solution."

Lin Yuan and Chen Fei first went to Li Hongzhang. After all, they were acquainted with Li Hongzhang when they were negotiating in Japan. Li Hongzhang also strongly invited Lin Yuan to serve in the Qing Dynasty.

Li Hongzhang was the Governor of Zhili and the Minister of Beiyang Commerce at that time, in charge of foreign affairs with other countries. It was difficult for them two ordinary people to enter the Beiyang Commercial Yamen. Unexpectedly, they met Li Jingfang at the door. Out of Lin Yuan.

Although Li Jingfang's father is high and powerful, he has no airs and treats others kindly. Li Jingfang smiled and said, "Isn't this Mr. Lin Yuan? Why are you here?"

Lin Yuan said: "Lu Fangweng has a poem saying that he is humble and dare not forget to worry about the country. Although I am a reckless person, I always keep the country's dangers in my heart. I am here this time because I want to serve the country! Please Mr. Li guide us Go see Master Zhongtang."

After negotiating with Japan, Li Jingfang was well aware of Lin Yuan's ability, he said with a smile, "This is very good, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a follower rushing over, calling "Master Li" as he ran, completely missing the etiquette of master and servant. Disrespect was a big mistake in ancient times. He couldn't help frowning, when the man had already run to the front.

Just as Li Jingfang was about to reprimand him, the attendant said: "It's terrible, Mr. Li, the Japanese envoy is angry, you can go there quickly."

When Li Jingfang heard this, he ignored the reprimand and said, "I still have to see the British envoy, so he can't wait for a while."

The entourage said: "Master Li, the British are in Hong Kong, but the Japanese are in Fengtian. His eyebrows are burning, so let's look at the present first."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan said, "Master Li, why don't I go see the British envoy."

Li Jingfang knew that Lin Yuan would not do anything that would endanger the Qing Dynasty, so he asked his followers to take Lin Yuan to meet the British Minister.

The Beiyang Commercial Yamen was built like a garden. It was winter, and the garden was covered with silver, which was extremely enchanting. Soon, we arrived at a chic hut. In the hut, an Englishman was looking at his watch impatiently.

When the British Minister saw Lin Yuan coming in, he thought he was an employee of the Qing court. Although Lin Yuan didn't have braids, there were many foreign employees in the Beiyang Commercial Office, and they didn't have braids either, so the British Minister didn't take it too seriously.

The British official said angrily in half-baked Chinese: "How long has it been, how long do you have to wait! You are wasting my life!"

The British Minister said again: "Where is Li Zhongtang, do you agree to the conditions of our British Empire?"

Lin Yuan said, "Bring me the documents first."

The British envoy pointed to the table, Lin Yuan picked up a document on the table, opened it, was dumbfounded, and cursed in his heart: "British, how dare you ask for a price!"
