Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan thought: "The biggest problem now is the lack of troops. After the 24th Brigade of the Eighth Division arrives, let the 24th Brigade guard Shanghai, and the other two brigades can attack."

Lin Yuan arranged the plan for the future battle, and at this moment, someone came down to report: "Shuai Lin, British Ambassador Noren is asking to see you!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What is the purpose of Noren coming to me? No need to ask, it must be because of breaking into the concession today. Now I have a large army in my hand, and Britain has no military strength in Shanghai at all. The only battleship is still there. I was seriously injured by our bombing, what can he do to me?" Lin Yuan then said, "Bring Noren in."

After Nuo Lun came in, he greeted Lin Yuan expressionlessly. Lin Yuan was very happy to see Nuo Lun's helpless face, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know why Mr. Ambassador is here this time?"

Noren said: "Mr. Lin Yuan, I heard what happened today. You broke into the foreign concession, killed the staff of the Japanese embassy, ​​and..."

Lin Yuan said loudly without waiting for Noren to finish speaking: "Slow down! Mr. Noren, I don't know where you heard the news from!"

Nolen frowned and said, "Lin Yuan, today you drove into the concession with dozens of vehicles and tanks. Everyone in the concession knows about it. Don't you want to deny it?"

Lin Yuan said: "I'm not like some rogue countries. I dare not admit what I have done. I will not deny what Lin has done. I did lead troops into the concession, but I didn't kill them. Embassy staff!"

Noren said angrily, "Didn't your subordinates kill those dozen Japanese guards?"

Lin Yuan said: "They are military personnel, not embassy staff, and they provoked first, we killed them purely out of self-defense."

Nolen said: "Whether it's staff or military personnel, I don't want to argue with you about these boring words. What I want to say is: Since they are members of the Japanese embassy, ​​they enjoy diplomatic immunity. How can you kill them?" them?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Who says they are the staff of the embassy? They are clearly the enemies who invaded China. Why can't I kill them?"

Nolen blushed with anger, and said, "Lin Yuan, I have seen many people who are arrogant in China, but I have never seen someone who is as arrogant as you. They are clearly from the embassy, ​​how did they become the ones who invaded China? ?”

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I have already declared that the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legal government representing China, and the Japanese embassy established diplomatic relations with the Qing government, so it is not recognized and protected by the government of the People's Republic of China. The embassy guards are armed Appearing in China, what is it other than aggression?"

Nuo Lun cursed secretly in his heart: "What a Lin Yuan, he is really eloquent! But everything he said is reasonable, and I can't refute him. How should I refute him?" Nuo Lun thought of words, so he said: "But They are in our British Concession, and you Chinese have no right to shoot and kill in the British Concession, and you cannot even break into our Concession!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Ambassador, Mr. Charlton, the general director of the Ministry of Industry, and I have made it very clear today that the government of the People's Republic of China officially banned the British Concession, and all unequal treaties signed by various countries with our country are null and void. , so your British Concession has become history!"

Noren's face turned red and white, and he said angrily: "Lin Yuan, you unilaterally tore up the treaty, which is a great insult and provocation to our British Empire. Do you know what consequences this will bring? Is there a war in the Empire?"

Lin Yuan frowned, slammed the table hard, and raised his voice, "Mr. Ambassador, China today is not the China of [-]. Don't think that I will be afraid of bringing the British Empire out!"

Noren stood up abruptly, ignoring his diplomat's demeanor, and pointed to Lin Yuan's nose, speechless with anger. Lin Yuan suddenly laughed and said, "Mr. Ambassador, I advise you to calm down. , it's not good to be angry!"

Noren sat back in his chair resentfully, and said to Lin Yuan: "I came here to persuade Mr. Lin Yuan not to do things so badly. You should think about it again. It is good for both of us to keep our British Concession. Since you haven't made this news public, there is still room for redemption, let's discuss it again."

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Alright then."

Hearing that Lin Yuan's attitude had turned gentle, Noren couldn't help but think in his heart: "Look! Lin Yuan let go, although Lin Yuan said on the surface that he is not afraid of the British Empire, but deep down he is still unwilling to confront us, the most powerful country in the world! Also, I can talk to him."

Noren was thinking about it when he suddenly saw Lin Yuan waving his hand to call an attendant, and said to him, "Go to the liaison officer and tell him the following passage, and ask him to telegraph the news agencies and newspapers in various countries."

The attendant said: "Shuai Lin, please tell me, I will remember."

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The government of the People's Republic of China solemnly declares that starting from today, October [-], [-], the treaties signed by the Qing government on behalf of China and various countries will not be recognized by the government of the People's Republic of China." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he paused, then looked at the attendant with a smile, and said, "That's the sentence, remember it?"

The attendant replied: "Remember, I'm going to find the liaison officer." Lin Yuan nodded and signaled the attendant to go out. After hearing this sentence, Noren broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted loudly behind the attendant: "Slow down! "

The attendant stood up and looked at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Ambassador, what advice do you have?"

Nolen looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Yuan, do you know what this announcement means? It means that the British and French concessions are gone, the privileges enjoyed by us European and American businesses in China are gone, and our extraterritorial rights are gone. Far, do you know how big of an impact this will have?"

Lin Yuan said awe-inspiringly: "Of course I know! Concessions, tariffs so low as to be negligible, extraterritorial rights, these things were taken away from us by relying on strong ships and guns. Now our ships are strong and guns are sharp. , we will take all these things back!"

At this point, Lin Yuan stared closely at Norun's eyes and said, "Norun, I know that all of your countries are secretly supporting the Qing court, and I will not imagine that one day you will support me and the Chinese people. I know that is seeking skin from a tiger, so I will not use those traitorous treaties in exchange for your support for me, when I was in Beijing, I have already made my words very clear!"

Norun was stunned by Lin Yuan's tough attitude, and he didn't speak for a long time. Lin Yuan said proudly: "I can also tell you that we have a powerful fleet, a powerful armored corps, and a strong industrial base. If you want to Launch an all-out war, come on, I am not afraid! I know that your British Empire has produced dreadnoughts, but your dreadnoughts are worthless in my eyes!"

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the stunned Noren with a soft smile and said, "Mr. Ambassador, do you have anything else to do? Please come back if you have nothing to do. I still have a lot to do."

Noren looked at the resolute Lin Yuan, and thought helplessly: "The Chinese are really different from before, and the world may really have to change masters."
