Lin Yuan is right. The British Royal Navy does have a majestic-class battleship HMS Majestic in Shanghai. This type of battleship has fought against Lin Yuan several times, and it is anchored in a port near Wusongkou. It is an important ship for the British in Shanghai. Military presence, in Lin Yuan's era, this type of battleship had never been to China, but because of Lin Yuan's arrival, the British Royal Navy specially dispatched this battleship.

After listening to Lin Yuan's words, Fade Chen suddenly realized, and said, "The destroyer following us must have tipped off the news, and the British warship fired at us!"

Lin Yuan said: "I have to go back quickly. I won't say much. Go to the explosion site and see if there are any casualties." Lin Yuan picked up the radio and ordered: "Immediately scout the trajectory and lock the location of the launch point! Send a helicopter to pick me up." Then a helicopter came to take Lin Yuan back to the Beijing ship, and during this time, there were no more shells.

Lin Yuan returned to the Beijing ship and asked, "Have you locked the location of the launch point?"

The staff officer reported: "According to the ballistic trajectory detected by the radar, the launching point is at the port near Wusongkou. Due to the cover of the terrain and features, our radar cannot directly detect the ship that launched the shell, so we called the aviation From the images, it was found that there was a British battleship near the launch point, and it can be basically determined that the shells were fired by this battleship."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Very well, order the Yazi ship to move towards Wusongkou, get ready to attack, and report to me immediately if you find the British ship sailing out of the port."

When the staff officer went to convey the order, Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "Why did the British fire at us? Are they helping the Qing court to fight without declaring it? Probably not. If it is a war against me, it is impossible to only fire two shots, let alone the British army. There is only one battleship and one destroyer in Shanghai, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with ours, so they should not be so stupid as to provoke us."

Lin Yuan thought of these and made a judgment: The attack of the British army should be just a test, to test my reaction to the armed intervention of foreigners. Since it is a test, what kind of reaction should I take?If the response is too large, it will be passive in diplomacy; if the response is too small, it will be detrimental to the morale of the army.

Lin Yuan was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Fade Chen's voice on the radio, and only heard Fade Chen say: "I've been to the explosion site to see it, we were killed five soldiers, and seven were seriously injured , Now the soldiers are excited and going to fight the British embassy."

The new address of the British embassy is in Shanghai. Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Don't react too much. Let me handle this matter, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Fade Chen said: "They beat all of us to death! I don't think we need to talk nonsense with them, just go over and sink that majestic ship, and see if the British dare to stab us!"

Lin Yuan said: "The British will definitely pay the price for their actions. As for the price, it depends on their subsequent performance. If their attitude is arrogant and unreasonable, we will definitely kill them! But now is not the time, we must first Tell the whole world the truth about the shameless provocation of the British, and then hit and punish them!"

Fade Chen said, "Okay, what do we need to do?"

Lin Yuan said: "You don't need to do anything now, just pretend that this incident didn't happen, and continue to approach the whole island."

Fade Chen agreed, and Lin Yuan immediately called the news officer on the ship and said, "Immediately telegraph news agencies and newspapers in various countries, saying that we were shamelessly bombarded by a British warship on Chongming Island! The words should be more violent, understand." Yet?"

The press officer replied loudly: "Understood!"

Lin Yuan said: "Very good, let's go quickly." Then he called the liaison officer and said: "Call the British embassy immediately to ask why the British warship fired at us and ask them to give an explanation!"

The liaison officer also agreed to go, and soon came back and said: "The British embassy called back, saying that they did not know about this matter and are investigating it now."

Lin Yuan nodded, asked the liaison officer to go back first, then contacted the Yazi ship, and asked, "How is the condition of that British ship?"

Captain Yazi reported: "As usual, nothing unusual!"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "Continue to monitor!" Putting down the microphone, Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "The reaction of the British is very calm. Could it be that they did not fire this shell? How could it not be them? They have the ability to fire such powerful shells nearby. The platform for the big bombs is only British warships!"

Lin Yuan warned himself in his heart: "Before there is not enough evidence, you can't act rashly, otherwise you will fall into a great passivity in diplomacy." At this time, the liaison officer came to report: "Captain, the British embassy called back again, saying Their warships are all in the naval port, and they have never fired!"

Lin Yuan frowned when he heard the situation, and once again sorted out the reasons why the majestic ship was firing: first: the explosive power, the explosion was very powerful, and only British warships had large artillery nearby; second: the ballistic position And aerial pictures, the launch range was locked according to the trajectory of the shell, and the aerial pictures showed that there was only one majestic ship in this launch range!

Lin Yuan thought: "The cannonball must have been launched by the Majestic ship, but now they don't admit it, and the two reasons for their own judgment are not enough to be called evidence. First, it is absolutely impossible to use the power of the explosion to determine the platform from which the cannonball was fired. It is unreasonable, because I use the sound of the explosion to determine the power of the explosion, but the magnitude of the sound of the explosion is a subjective judgment, which varies from person to person and cannot be used as evidence."

"As for the ballistic position and aerial pictures, although this is relatively favorable evidence, it cannot be produced. Once it is produced, it will expose key technologies such as radar and aerial reconnaissance to the enemy. The loss outweighs the gain!"

Lin Yuan thought for a while, contacted Fade Chen, and said, "Send someone to pick up the shrapnel from the explosion site immediately and send it to me!"

Fade Chen asked, "What do you want these shrapnel for?"

Lin Yuan said: "You don't know yet, do you? The British are playing rogue with me, refusing to admit that they fired the shells. These shrapnel are the evidence!"

Fade Chen said: "Well, I'll send these shrapnel to you now." Lin Yuan put down the radio, and Fade Chen sent someone to drive over in a small boat soon, and sent the shrapnel he picked up to Lin Yuan. In Yuan's hand, Lin Yuan said to the soldier who delivered the shrapnel: "Take the shrapnel and come with me."

The soldier asked, "Shuai Lin, where are we going?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Go to a mysterious place!" After speaking, he led the soldiers out of the bridge, came to the hangar below, passed through the hangar, and stopped outside a large cabin. Lin Yuan pointed to the cabin and said : "This is where the planes are repaired."

Lin Yuan came inside, pushed open a door marked "Spectrum Testing Center", and laughed loudly into the inside: "Old Zhang, help me test something."

At this time, a person came out from behind an instrument as tall as one person, and smiled at Lin Yuan: "Comrade Captain, I have three samples of bearing oil that have not been inspected. You can come back later."
