Lin Yuan went on to say: "There is an even more important point, that is, North Korea is at war, and we are doing our best to block North Korea's ports, so I sent all the beast-class destroyers to North Korea, but that's it, Yu Feng is still fighting with me. Complaining about the lack of Divine Beast-class destroyers, but our country already has a lot of Divine Beast-class destroyers, and I can’t build warships without limit, there is still a lot of money to spend.”

Shen Wanqing said: "Then what shall we do?"

Lin Yuan said: "First appease the emotions of the people. I need time to transfer the North Korean destroyer back. In this way, you go back first and let your agents monitor the situation in Hong Kong. I will quickly transfer the fleet back."

Shen Wanqing agreed to go out, Lin Yuan took out the information of the British Far East Fleet, and thought while reading: "The British Far East Fleet has a total of sixteen 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships and sixteen 'Lion-class' battlecruisers. There are also 32 cruisers of various kinds, among which the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships are similar to the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships of my era, all super dreadnought ships equipped with eight twin [-]-inch caliber cannons."

"Fifteen inches, or 380 mm, this caliber is the crown of artillery in the world, and the speed of this type of battleship is as high as 26 knots, and the speed of the Lion-class battlecruiser is 32 knots. It is said that the above alone is There are as many as 42 steam boilers! The power is very powerful.”

"There are also various types of cruisers, all of which are 'speed monsters' with a speed of up to 35 knots. They must be equipped with advanced torpedoes. I wonder if the No. [-] oxygen torpedo of the Japanese army will be equipped on them? If so, these torpedoes are very Potentially inflicting heavy blows on our destroyers."

"The Far East Fleet has 64 combat ships at one time. This scale is rare in my era. How many destroyers should I mobilize to fight against them? Now the Vladivostok Fleet has eight God Beast-class destroyers, and the Lushun Fleet has Twelve ships, as well as our Beijing ship, since we have the powerful Shenshou-class guided missile destroyer, the Beijing ship no longer needs to take on combat missions, so the people on the Beijing ship have entered various fields of society, and want to convene to regroup The difficulty of dispatching is not small!"

Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "Since the British fleet is approaching aggressively, I will press all [-] monster-class destroyers on it, and fight to destroy them in one battle!" So Lin Yuan contacted Yu Feng and said, "Yu Feng, now put the Twenty Deity-class destroyers have been transferred to Hong Kong, preparing for a decisive battle with the British Far East Fleet."

Yu Feng said: "But Lin Shuai, we still have the task of protecting the line of communication and cutting off the connection between North Korea and Japan."

Lin Yuan said: "Leave those tasks for now, and hurry back with all your strength."

Yu Feng agreed, and Lin Yuan put down the phone and thought, "North Korea is too far away from Hong Kong. According to the economic speed of a warship at [-] knots, it would take about three days to travel! In fact, it is more convenient for the East China Sea Fleet stationed in Shanghai to come here, but The East China Sea Fleet is equipped with maritime patrol ships, and it is no match for warships at all!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help sighing, thinking: "Looks like we need to build more warships in the future, now that the troops have been mobilized, I should appease the emotions of the people in the country, don't make the people in the country complain, it will be difficult to handle. "

Lin Yuan thought of this and called an attendant in, and said, "Send a report to the British Governor in Hong Kong, asking why their sailors injured our people, and give them an explanation within 24 hours."

The attendant agreed to send the report, but after a while the attendant came back and said, "The British Governor has called back." After speaking, he handed the British Governor's reply to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan opened it and saw that it read: "We have already found out that it was the Chinese traders who made unreasonable provocations first, and the responsibility for this matter should be fully borne by the Chinese side."

Lin Yuan frowned, and said angrily: "They injured our people and said that we provoked them first, which is really ridiculous. Our people are ordinary people, how could they provoke their sailors?"

Seeing Lin Yuan's anger, the attendant stood aside without daring to show his anger. Lin Yuan said, "Send what I said to the British Governor immediately, and the tone must be tough."

The attendant agreed to go, when Shen Wanqing walked in and said to Lin Yuan: "Our comrades in Hong Kong have found out the cause of the incident! The whole thing is almost as we expected, it really is someone with ulterior motives Pick things up inside."

Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "Hurry up and tell me what's going on."

Shen Wanqing said: "At one o'clock this afternoon, a group of British sailors went ashore to shop at the market on the shore. One sailor bought a basket of steamed buns. The stall owner offered a price of 120 yuan, which is equivalent to about [-] pounds."

Lin Yuan frowned, and said, "One hundred yuan for a steamed stuffed bun? Isn't that ridiculously expensive?"

Shen Wanqing said: "That's right, it's really outrageously expensive! The sailor started arguing with the stall owner. During this process, the stall owner's attitude was very arrogant. He not only insulted the British sailor loudly, but also pushed the British sailor with his hands. The British sailors did not fight back at the beginning, and the captain of the sailors gave the stall owner 120 pounds with a calm attitude, but the stall owner still refused to let him go. As a result, the sailors were angered and beat the stall owner. This incident then spread in Hong Kong, and then it evolved into the current situation."

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "That stall owner must be a Japanese in disguise, right?"

Shen Wanqing said: "The possibility is 80.00%, because our people did not find the stall owner again in the subsequent investigation."

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "I didn't expect our people to be unreasonable, but we can't say this in news reports. If we say this, it will appear that we are not tough enough."

Shen Wanqing said: "That's right, so I have already notified the Hong Kong Office and set the investigation result of this matter as top secret, and it is forbidden to disclose it to anyone."

Lin Yuan said: "That's good, let's first publicize the arrogance and unreasonableness of the British sailors in China. When our fleet returns, we can fight the British fleet! Now is the time to regain Hong Kong!"

At this moment, the attendant came over and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, the British Governor in Hong Kong, Dalson Morik, invited you to make a phone call. He said that he would explain the process of the conflict over the phone and discuss how to deal with it."

Lin Yuan agreed, and followed the attendants to the telephone room. The telephone in the telephone room was dedicated to talking to foreign heads of state. Lin Yuan came to the phone, picked up the receiver, and heard a powerful voice from inside: "Lin Yuan Yuan, we meet again."
