Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Seeing that Lin Yuan's attitude was so firm, Ito Hirobumi took the document back. After all, it was only the first meeting, and the document was thrown out just to test Lin Yuan's attitude. It was not time for tit-for-tat and bargaining. .

Ito Hirobumi said with a smile: "I admire Chinese culture very much. I don't know what Master Lin thinks of Yuan Shizu?" Of course, Lin Yuan heard the implication of Ito Hirobumi. Kublai Khan's expeditionary force is called "Yuan Kou" in the book, and these two expeditions ended in failure. When Ito Hirobumi mentioned him at this time, he was obviously saying that Lin Yuan fought against Japan, and would eventually be like Kublai Khan's expedition Army failed.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know what Kublai Khan is like, but I am familiar with Japanese history, so Mr. Ito must be the same. I don't know how Mr. Ito thinks of Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a well-known hero in Japan. He was once the actual ruler of Japan at the end of the Warring States Period. Ito Hirobumi knew all these things, but Ito Hirobumi knew very well what Lin Yuan meant when he mentioned Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In 1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi Hideyoshi invaded Korea and was later defeated by the army sent by the Ming Dynasty. Toyotomi Hideyoshi also died of depression. When Lin Yuan mentioned him, he was obviously saying that Japan would also fail in this war like it did hundreds of years ago.

The two used history to fight secretly for a round, and Hirobumi Ito said with a smile: "We might as well stop here today, and we will continue talking tomorrow."

Lin Yuan stood up and gestured to see off the guests, and the attendants of the Qing court escorted the Japanese mission out of the room.

For the convenience of negotiation, Lin Yuan stayed in this hotel. When he returned to his room, Shen Wanqing was already there. They installed bugs in the negotiating room, so they could hear the negotiators' words.

As soon as Lin Yuan came in, he asked, "Have you installed bugs in the Japanese house?"

Shen Wanqing shook her head, and said helplessly: "The Japanese have learned to be smart this time. Instead of staying in the rooms we arranged, they chose a hotel by themselves, and the guards are very strict. It is very difficult for us to get in."

Lin Yuan nodded, and Shen Wanqing said, "Why did the Japanese come up with such a way to jointly manage Shengjing with us?"

Lin Yuan said: "If you do this, the Japanese will take advantage! The west of the Liaohe River belongs to us, and the east of the Liaohe River belongs to them. Shenyang is under their control. Look at the map. Is there a place called Fushun to the east of Shenyang?" The place."

Shen Wanqing looked at it for a long time and said, "No."

Lin Yuan leaned over to take a look, and said, "The map you are looking at is a map of the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, there was no Fushun here."

Shen Wanqing nodded, and Lin Yuan said, "I have read a document. In our era, since the beginning of the 800th century, Fushun's coal production has been the highest in the country, with an annual output of more than [-] million tons. However, coal production in other parts of the country rarely reaches a million tons, and the coal in Fushun is of excellent quality, which is very suitable for both fuel and coking. I think the Japanese must be eyeing this coal field."

Lin Yuan added: "There are not only coal mines in the east of the Liaohe River, but also iron ore resources in Anshan, and the ice-free port of Lushun! In any case, we cannot give Liaoning to the Japanese. As long as we take Liaoning, we will have sufficient resources." resources to develop our own industry!"

The negotiation on the second day was a real contest between the two sides.

Lin Yuan leaned back on the chair, fiddling with the teacup in front of him carelessly with both hands, and said slowly: "It is absolutely impossible to rule the Liaohe River. If you keep insisting on this, there is no need for us to continue the negotiation."

When a person expresses his point of view, the more casual his expression is, the more he insists on his point of view. Lin Yuan's actions and expression are revealing such a message to Ito Hirobumi: "Your plan, We absolutely cannot agree!"

Ito Hirobumi smiled deeply, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly, but there was no sound, and his expression seemed more relaxed than that of Lin Yuan.

Ito Hirobumi smiled and said: "Master Lin, I advise your country to agree to our plan, so that we can end the war with dignity. I know that your country has spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to fight this war."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Ito, our two countries are like two people fighting. Both of them are holding knives, stabbing each other to the point of blood, and waiting for the other to collapse from exhaustion. There are many adults in Qing Dynasty. , Your country has few lands and few people, there are two of us, one is a strong man and the other is a baby, who do you think will fall first?"

Hearing this, Hirobumi Ito suddenly smiled and said, "Lord Lin, to be honest, I don't like your metaphor very much, because we both hold knives, but we are wearing armor and holding a shield. "

Itou Hirobumi went on to say: "Master Lin, I don't know much about military affairs, but I also know that in the current battlefield situation in Fengtian, it will be difficult for you to fight anywhere first, because our troops are deployed in Changtu, Shengjing, Liaoyang, and Haicheng. Lushun, these places form a line, like the one-word long snake formation in your Qing Dynasty's Art of War, no matter where you fight, we will go to other places to reinforce it!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Our ancestors left a saying that when you hit a snake, you hit seven inches. In my opinion, Shengjing is the seven inches of this snake. The defenders of Changtu dare not move because the Russians They are there, but Liaoyang and Haicheng don’t have too many troops, and rescuing Shengjing is tantamount to putting out a prairie fire with a cup of water, and the defenders of Lushun, heh!”

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan sneered, stared at Hirobumi Ito closely, and said, "If Lushun's defenders move, I will send a strong force to take down Lushun Dalian overnight!"

Ito Hirobumi also laughed. He leaned his body towards the table and said with a smile: "I really appreciate a word in Chinese, which is called solid as gold soup. A city wall surrounded by steel and a moat made of boiling water. How can the enemy break through?"

Ito Hirobumi crossed his hands, stared into Lin Yuan's eyes with cold eyes, and said: "Our Shengjing City is the Jincheng Tangchi. Outside the city are the trenches we dug, the iron wires we laid, and our trenches. Inside the trenches are our brave men. The warriors behind them are our strongest barrier! The bunker built on a high slope, the machine guns in the bunker can overlook the entire battlefield, no matter which direction you charge from, our bullets will cut you down like wheat!"

Ito Hirobumi took a sip of tea and said proudly: "In the first two battles, you used new artillery, but your artillery can't touch a single hair in our bunker! Because our bunker also used the latest technology!"
