Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

From the first time Lin Yuan met Su Mao, Lin Yuan felt that he was a smooth and well-rounded person. Now that he was allowed to offend so many people, Lin Yuan felt that this would definitely embarrass Su Mao.

So Lin Yuan smiled and asked: "Boss Su, isn't it a bit embarrassing for you to do these things?"

Unexpectedly, Su Mao smiled calmly and said: "Master Lin, to be honest, these stubborn villains have long been unable to stand it. It's just that the villain has a low official position and a small position, and there is nothing I can do. Now I have Master Lin as my backer. Shattered to pieces, we must also clean up these stubborn illnesses!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered the situation when Su Mao yelled at the officer angrily. At that time, Luo Chaoying wanted to talk about new technologies, but was interrupted by the officer. Su Mao desperately told the officer to shut up. As you can see, this Su Mao still wants to run the machine bureau well, and it is indeed appropriate to entrust these things to him.

Lin Yuan wanted to call Luo Chaoying to discuss the matter of making weapons. He asked Su Mao, "Is Mr. Luo here? Go and invite him."

Su Mao hurriedly said: "I'll ask someone to invite someone." Su Mao sent someone to invite Luo Chaoying, and Lin Yuan was waiting in the room, but his mind was spinning, and he thought: "After we break through the After conquering the city defenses around Shenyang, the Japanese will definitely not give up Shenyang to us willingly, they will definitely stick to Shenyang and fight street battles with us. In that case, our current strength is far from enough.”

"Moreover, the Japanese army still has a lot of troops in Liaoyang, Haicheng, and the Second Infantry Brigade of the First Infantry Division in Changtu. I don't know what kind of conspiracy the Japanese and Russians have. The local Japanese army sent reinforcements to Shenyang, so we are likely to be surrounded under the city of Shenyang, so we need troops to defend our flanks! However, how can we have soldiers? The Qing court has a large number of troops, but those who can really fight are also There are only the defenders in Shanhaiguan and the capital, but they will definitely not help themselves wholeheartedly!"

"Transfer the troops we trained in Ryukyu!" Lin Yuan suppressed the idea as soon as it came up, he thought: "Now is not the time to mobilize them, keep them as a strategy to change the situation of the battle." Use your strength! Calling new soldiers from the people is a good idea, but how can you give them weapons? There are guns in the Shenji Camp, but you can think of ways not to give them weapons, but if you snatch the weapons they already have, Impossible! Oh, where are the soldiers?"

Lin Yuan thought about it but couldn't come up with a result. At this moment, the person who reported the incident came back and reported: "Mr. Luo is not here, and people around him said that he went out for tea."

Su Mao frowned and said, "This old Luo is too outrageous. Now that the front line is tight and his contribution is needed, he is still in the mood to drink tea!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Su, for such an old expert, no matter what he does, you don't have any opinions. When you look at a person, don't look at what he is doing, but look at what he is thinking. Don't look at what he is doing. Luo is always drinking tea, but his mind is thinking about how to design new artillery and how to improve the existing equipment."

Su Mao asked: "Can he really do this?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Your knowledge may not be enough. When you have his knowledge, you will be able to do that too. Don't rush to find him. What I said today is enough for you to work hard for a while." It's been a while."

Su Mao said, "Master Lin, do you want me to arrange a room for you?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "No need, I have to go back."

Su Mao quickly said: "My lord, I think you should stay here tonight. I will write down the matter of streamlining the machinery bureau tonight, and you have to hand it over to Mr. Zhongtang. If Mr. Zhongtang doesn't agree, it will be impossible to streamline the organization." successful."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "That's right, now the nominal top leader of the Tianjin Machinery Bureau is Li Hongzhang, and all major actions of the Machinery Bureau must go through him."

However, Lin Yuan also had doubts. After all, how could he come up with a plan in one night for such a big matter as streamlining the organization?

Early the next morning, Su Mao handed over a document to Lin Yuan and said, "Master Lin, I gave you a plan in such a short period of time. For many years, I have never dared to take it out. Once I take it out, I will offend many people. I will cut off their wealth, and they will cut off my life. , and children who are ignorant and playful, I want to do such things as destroying the family and relieving difficulties, but I dare not do it!" After speaking, Su Mao, a man in his 40s, bent his knees and knelt down on the ground. In front of Lin Yuan, his forehead rested on Lin Yuan's feet, weeping bitterly.

Lin Yuan quickly helped him up, and comforted him: "Don't worry, our country will become stronger, and by then, all countries in the world will come to us to buy weapons."

Su Mao was so weeping that he couldn't speak, Lin Yuan comforted him for a while, and walked towards Li Hongzhang's residence in Tianjin. The sky gradually became gloomy, and after a while, snowflakes floated in the sky, and the numerous universities wrapped the world into a piece of plain silver .

On the road, an old man in unlined clothes was pushing a large cart covered with cloth. The cart must have been extremely heavy, so when the old man pushed it with great difficulty, the sweat soaked on the outside of the clothes was already on the clothes. There was a layer of ice crystals on the top, the old man pushed a few steps, then stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened his throat, and shouted: "Good charcoal! Cheap! Warm!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It is said that it is cold before the frost and cold after the snow. When the snow stops for a while, I don't know how many frozen corpses will appear on the streets." Looking at that, he really wanted to make China strong all at once. Get up, but how is it possible?Freezing three feet does not happen in a day. How could the old feudal system with a history of more than 2000 years be completely changed overnight!

After a while, they arrived at Li Hongzhang's residence. After reporting, a servant took Lin Yuan to a small building in the garden. The small building seemed to be made of blue bamboo. Like a drop of emerald in the snow-white ocean, the name of the building is written on the plaque at the entrance of the building: Tingzhuxuan.

When Lin Yuan went upstairs, he saw Li Hongzhang sitting at the table by the window. He turned to look at Lin Yuan, and said, "Xiao Lin is here, come and sit down."

As soon as Lin Yuan sat opposite Li Hongzhang, he smelled the refreshing aroma of tea. It turned out that Li Hongzhang poured out a cup of tea from the teapot and put it in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan quickly picked it up, and said with a smile, "Your Master Li is in a good mood to drink tea on a snowy day!"

Li Hongzhang laughed and said, "It's hard to steal half a day's leisure, no, there are so many business things to do at hand." After speaking, Li Hongzhang opened the top memorial, opened it and handed it to Lin Yuan, and said with a smile: "You Look at the Zhubi Imperial Criticism on this, please let the middle hall decide, this old man is going to work hard." After speaking, he laughed happily, as if he was very proud of the emperor's exhaustion.

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile. He glanced at the memorial. The content on it shocked his mind like a thunderbolt. He thought: "I have racked my brains to find a powerful army. Aren't they just on this paper!"
