Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Aside from being happy, Lin Yuan was also a little bit worried, and thought in his heart: "There must be the British behind the large-scale armed intervention of the Japanese army. What about other countries? Will they also secretly support it? It should be, because It is more in their interest for the Qing court to gain power, and I am afraid that they will have to fight against the whole world. Will a world war break out? Will countries carry out a full-scale armed invasion of China under the banner of helping the Qing court?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan stood up and took out two documents from the cabinet, which were the Zhang Industrial Company's international trade order report and the People's Bank of China's foreign exchange report. The People's Bank of Qing Dynasty officially changed its name to the People's Bank of China, and in the areas ruled by the Qing government, because the role of banks was too great, the Qing government did not ban banks in various cities, and it was still called the People's Bank of Qing Dynasty.

Holding the report, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Businessmen have always been the most sensitive people to war, because war will greatly damage their interests, and they will spare no effort to inquire about the government's movements, so we can judge wars by looking at the movements of businessmen. The direction of the war, businessmen will definitely not invest money in the place where the war is about to go."

While thinking about it, Lin Yuan looked at the two documents and found that the total amount of foreign trade orders of Zhang Industrial Company increased instead of falling, and foreign exchange did not increase or decrease suddenly, so he thought to himself: "It seems that they will not fight us. But are they interfering with us by purely military means?"

Lin Yuan shook his head gently, and told himself: "No, they will definitely not use purely military means to interfere in our affairs, they will definitely use political means, what will it be?" Lin Yuan was thinking, when suddenly the communication The instrument rang, and Lin Yuan took it out to have a look, and found that it was Fade Chen, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Fade Chen said: "I just received a report: the 32nd Regiment was ambushed by the enemy!"

Lin Yuan asked: "How did you get ambushed by the enemy? Didn't you scout in advance?"

Fade Chen said: "They ambushed the reconnaissance company! In Longwan Town, they concentrated their superior force and surrounded the reconnaissance company, and then fought for only 5 minutes. As soon as the large troops arrived, they immediately retreated!"

Lin Yuan asked again: "Did the Japanese do it?"

Fade Chen said: "That's right, we found the same guns as the Japanese army on the dead enemy's body, so we can judge that the people who set up the ambush are the Japanese army!"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "Send someone to bring the gun back, and we organize people to analyze it. This Japanese army poses a serious threat to us. We must find a way to wipe them all out!"

Fade Chen asked, "What can I do?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "The first thing is to find them. Do you know where they are stationed?"

Fade Chen said: "We have just arrived at this place, how can we know where they are stationed?"

Lin Yuan said: "I think [-]% of the Japanese army may be stationed in Jiangyin City. You should immediately attack Jiangyin City. As long as you take Jiangyin City down, you should be able to take out the Japanese army's lair."

Fade Chen said: "We are only a few kilometers away from Jiangyin City, and we can reach the city tonight."

Lin Yuan said: "Very good. After arriving in Jiangyin City, first put propaganda bombs in and make the defenders surrender. If the defenders don't surrender, let our landing ships bombard the city with 3mm heavy artillery, and wait until Jiangyin City is blown up." It's almost there, and you enter the city."

Fade Chen followed Lin Yuan's advice and did not order the troops to rest. He ordered the 32nd and 31st regiments to rush to the Jiangyin city and shoot the propaganda bombs ordering the defenders to surrender into the city. The guard in the city, Xiong Tiesheng, saw the flyer soul He was so frightened that he never dreamed that Lin Yuan's troops could come so fast!He also counted on the Huai River and Yangtze River to stop Lin Yuan's troops.

Xiong Tiesheng wanted to surrender, but when he thought that he had surrendered Lin Yuan and betrayed Lin Yuan to the Qing court, he was worried that Lin Yuan would kill him, so he couldn't help hesitating, so he didn't go out of the city to surrender for a while.

The head of the regiment beside Fade Chen saw that the propaganda bombs had entered the city for half an hour, and no one in the city came out to surrender, so he said: "Mr. Chen, the people inside should not surrender, let's let the landing ship fire .”

Fade Chen thought for a while and said: "It seems that Commander Lin's analysis was wrong. He thought the defenders inside would surrender, but he just forgot. If there were Japanese troops inside, how could they surrender easily? Inform our artillery immediately , Bombard Jiangyin City!"

The staff immediately went to prepare. The landing ship had already calculated all the shooting elements, and only waited for an order. Hearing Chen Fei's order, the artillery of the landing ship fired together, and the shells fell on the inside and outside of Jiangyin City in an instant. After entering Jiangyin City, just after a round of bombardment, Fade Chen received a report: "The east gate of Jiangyin City opened, and a man riding a fast horse came out from inside and came straight to our position."

Fade Chen thought: "There is only one person? Needless to say, it must be a messenger." So Fade Chen ordered: "Bring that guy to see me!" After a while, a few soldiers brought a person to Fade Chen. When Fade Chen fell to his knees, he said loudly, "I am the special envoy of Mr. Xiong. Don't fire any more. Our lord is willing to surrender."

Fade Chen then said to his subordinates: "Order the landing ship to stop shelling." The sound of the artillery stopped, and then Fade Chen asked the person in front of him: "Xiong Tiesheng is willing to surrender? Is it true or not?"

The man said: "Of course it's true, but we adults have a condition." Fade Chen frowned when he heard the word "condition", and the man hurriedly begged: "It's not difficult, this matter is just Lin Shuai. hands."

Chen Fei asked: "Then tell me, what conditions does he have?"

The man said: "Master Xiong once betrayed Lin Shuai, so I hope that Lin Shuai can let go of the past and not hold him accountable."

Fade Chen laughed loudly after hearing this, and said, "I thought it was something! It turned out to be this, and I agreed!"

The man looked at Fade Chen for a while, and said, "You're not Shuai Lin, are you? You agree without asking Shuai Lin for instructions. What if Shuai Lin says that what you said doesn't count?"

Before Fade Chen could speak, the staff officer next to Fade Chen shouted angrily: "What a guy who looks down on people! Don't you know who this person is in front of you? Fade Chen, Mr. Chen, when Shuai Lin was unarmed He is now with Lin Shuai, he is Lin Shuai's life and death brother, will Lin Shuai refute what he said?"

The man looked at Fade Chen suspiciously, and Fade Chen laughed loudly: "This is true! Will you surrender or not? If you don't surrender..."

The man didn't wait for Fade Chen to finish speaking, and said repeatedly: "Surrender and surrender! I'll go back right away and let the people inside go out of the city and surrender."

Chen Fei said: "Well, let your people come out from the east gate, holding guns, understand?"

The man agreed to leave, and Fade Chen called the staff officer to his side, and said in a low voice: "I suspect there is a fraud in this, the Japanese army in the city will never surrender, I think they came out of other city gates by taking advantage of the surrender Sneak attack, let everyone be more careful."

The staff officer said: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, they can't play any tricks!"

At this time, the east gate of the city was wide open, and a group of officers in Chinese uniforms came out. Fade Chen raised his binoculars and saw that the leader was Xiong Tiesheng. There won't be any tricks, will it?"
