Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Nelson glared at Lin Yuan, stopped talking, turned around and left the reception room, returned to the small boat when he came back, and quickly returned to the majestic ship. After arriving on the ship, he immediately returned to the port and went ashore, and found the British ambassador to China——Anthony ? Noren.

Nelson told Noren the result of the negotiation, and Noren couldn't help but said, "I just want you to fire a few shots to test Lin Yuan's attitude! Aren't you going to shoot where there are no people? Why go to Lin Yuan's position? What about firing the cannon? It also killed five and wounded seven, what should we do now?"

Nelson and Noren have no superior-subordinate relationship, and they did not show any weakness when they heard Noren's complaints, and said, "Mr. Ambassador, from a military point of view, we cannot guarantee the precise landing point of the shells, so it is difficult to guarantee that the shells will not fall. Blow people to death! Since you want to test, you must be prepared for war, or it is better not to test!"

Noren also heard Nelson's displeasure, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Captain, don't be angry, testing Lin Yuan is also the meaning of the Congress!"

When Nelson heard this, he slammed the table down and said loudly, "Mr. Ambassador, what does Congress mean? Should we hit Lin Yuan or not?"

Noren sighed, and said, "Ever since Lin Yuan took down the Yellow River defense line with no effort, the Congress has been arguing endlessly about whether to fight or not..."

Nelson said angrily: "What is there to argue about in Congress? Lin Yuan is a stubborn guy. When negotiating in London, the ministers of more than a dozen countries did not make him back down. If he takes power in China, We, the British Empire, don't want to get a penny from the Chinese!"

Nolen said: "Who says it's not, but Zhang's Industrial Company secretly manipulated by Lin Yuan imports a large number of civilian products to the UK every year, from clothes hangers to condoms, from clothes to tableware, if Zhang's Industrial Company no longer sells these products , The prices of these commodities will double in no time! The public feels that their living standards have plummeted, and they will definitely vote for the opposition party, so the ruling party in Congress has been unable to make up its mind!"

Nelson said: "No more trade? Dare Lin Yuan? If they don't sell us goods, their workers will also do a lot of business!"

Nolon said helplessly: "You are not Lin Yuan, and neither am I. We don't know if Lin Yuan dares, what if Lin Yuan dares? Wouldn't it be a big loss for the ruling party in Congress? Another point is that China's The public cannot vote to take Lin Yuan down! So Congress dare not take this risk!"

Nelson also sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's stop talking about this, let's discuss what we should do?"

Nolen called a telegraph operator and said, "Send a telegram to Congress: Lin Yuan has issued an ultimatum. If he does not apologize and compensate, he will blow up and sink our majestic ship." The telegraph operator agreed to go, and Nelson said: "Now Lin Yuan’s deadline is less than six hours away, does Congress still have that much time for discussion?”

Noren frowned and did not speak. Nelson said, "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of even if you fight. I don't think there are too many cannons on Lin Yuan's battleship, so it shouldn't be very powerful."

Nolen said: "The Russian Pacific Fleet was wiped out under Lin Yuan's command. I don't think their fleet should be underestimated."

Nelson laughed, and was about to laugh at the Russians when he saw the door open and a telegraph operator walked in, holding a telegram and saying, "The Congress has called back."

Noren said in surprise: "Why did you call back so quickly? Read!"

The telegraph operator said: "Talk with Lin Yuan as much as possible to buy time." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking. Noren frowned and asked, "Why don't you continue reading? No more?"

The telegraph operator said: "This is the whole message of the telegram."

Nelson became anxious when he heard it, and said, "What do you want us to do with such a sentence? How to deal with it?"

Noren thought for a while and said, "I came up with a plan, I want to see Lin Yuan in person."

Nelson said, "What did you come up with?"

Noren said: "Let's admit it first, and then..." After Noren finished talking about this method, Nelson said helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way to go." Then the boat was prepared for Noren, and Noren boarded The ship sailed to the Beijing ship.

Lin Yuan was very surprised to hear that the British ambassador Noren came in person on the Beijing ship, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to take him to the reception room. Seeing Noren, Lin Yuan first asked, "Mr. Ambassador, do you agree to apologize and compensate?"

Noren smiled and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, we are actually helping you, how can you ask us to compensate you?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Blowing up our people to death is actually helping us, can the British show some face?" Lin Yuan asked, "I really don't understand how the people who blow up our people can be regarded as helping us." ?”

Nolen said: "We didn't know your identities when we fired the guns. We thought you were pirates. In order to protect the Chinese residents on the island, we fired guns, but later we found out that we made a mistake and stopped immediately. Don't you see that only two shells fell on your position?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Ambassador, don't take me for a fool. We fired so many cannons before we went to the island. May I ask which pirate has so many cannons? Besides, there are still Qing troops stationed on the island. I don’t care about you, when did you kindly help China?”

Noren laughed and said, "We thought it was a new pirate with strong firepower, so we fired to help the Qing army on the island."

Lin Yuan sneered and said, "But just now, Mr. Captain said that you didn't fire the gun? Why did you change your mind so quickly?"

Nolen said: "The captain is not very clear about this matter, please forgive me."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Needless to say, there are still two roads in front of you. As for which one to choose, it's up to you. I also want to tell you that time is really running out. See you off!"

Noren hurriedly said: "Mr. Captain, can we still discuss it?"

Lin Yuan said proudly: "The China of today is not the China of 1840. The people who bombed us have nothing to discuss. See off!"

Noren was still talking, but someone had already stepped forward to ask Noren to go out. As soon as Noren left, Lin Yuan said to the staff next to him: "Let the Jaizu ship measure all the parameters that need to be used. We must fight Weiyan." Ship!"

The staff then went to issue an order. At 04:30 in the evening, Lin Yuan approached the telegraph operator and asked, "Did you receive the telegram that the British agreed to apologize?"

The telegraph operator shook his head and replied: "No!" Lin Yuan nodded, thinking: "Let's get the majestic ship to the bottom of the sea today!" At this moment, the telegraph operator said: "The Yazi ship has sent a telegram."

Lin Yuan asked, "What's the matter?"

The telegraph operator said: "The majestic ship is attacking the Yazi ship!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Attack? What's going on?"

The telegraph operator said: "At 45:[-], the majestic ship suddenly accelerated and sailed towards the windward direction of the Yazi ship, seizing a favorable position and preparing to fire!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This movement of the majestic ship is indeed an attack signal. When it occupies the windward direction, its shells can hit the Yazi ship with less influence from the wind."
