Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan looked at the newspaper and thought in his heart: "The British will definitely not let it go, but they have nothing to do with us, because Britain is too far away from us, and now the closest place to us is India, but India wants We have to cross the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of more than 5000 meters, which is a military deathbed, and the British army will never dare to attack rashly,"

"Even if the British army really crossed the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they will enter the second step of China's terrain. Here are all high mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they will not be able to cross them if they are exhausted. So don't worry about the British coming from here. Attacked on land,'

Lin Yuan thought for a while, then went to deal with other matters. At four o'clock in the evening, Shen Wanqing walked in and said to Lin Yuan: "Our people have reported back the situation of the Japanese army in Sasebo. According to their investigation, the Japanese army The number of people who have withdrawn is about three-quarters of the total number,"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Our air force and submarines actually wiped out a quarter of the Japanese army, and the results are pretty good."

Shen Wanqing continued: "One more thing, the wife of the French envoy invited us to her official residence tonight for a family dinner, shall we go?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "When did she invite you?"

Shen Wanqing said, "At noon,"

Lin Yuan said: "At noon, that is after we sent out the news of annihilating the Far East Fleet. Could it be related to this matter that she invited us?"

Shen Wanqing said: "Probably not. If it's a matter of business, wouldn't it be better if the French envoy came forward to talk to you? Why did the envoy's wife find me?"

Lin Yuan said: "That's right. It seems that this is just an ordinary family banquet. Let's go at night." In the evening, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing came to the official residence of the French ambassador to China. The French ambassador and his wife were demoted. Greeting each other, after entering the room, a little girl of five or six years old ran out. The little girl had a small white and tender face, and a pair of big crystal-like eyes were set on her face, like a porcelain doll.

The little girl jumped at Shen Wanqing with a smile, and called out in blunt Chinese: "Sister Shen..." Shen Wanqing knelt down, picked her up, and kissed the little girl's face with her red lips, which made the little girl Giggling, at this time the French minister said to Lin Yuan: "Mr. Lin Yuan, this is my youngest daughter. Because she is too young, I brought her to China."

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, everyone was seated, because it was a family banquet, so the content of the conversation was relatively casual, but Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The French envoy came to me today, it must not be as simple as having a meal and chatting." Sure enough, After the main course was served, the French envoy smiled and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, will China attack Japan?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Minister, China and Japan have declared war on each other. If the Japanese emperor and government do not surrender, then we will invade Japan until the Japanese government surrenders."

The French envoy said "oh", cut off a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, took another sip of red wine, and then said: "Mr. Lin Yuan, is there no possibility of peace talks?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This family banquet is indeed a cover. The French envoy must have been entrusted by Japan to mediate between us and Japan." So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course we welcome peace talks, as long as the Japanese government agrees to us conditions of,"

The French envoy asked: "What are the conditions?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "All withdrawal from North Korea is the bottom line. In addition, the Emperor abdicated, reorganized the government, and allowed the Japanese People's Liberation League to become a political party and participate in Japanese politics."

The French envoy nodded and said, "So that's the case, I just asked, nothing else."

Lin Yuan smiled secretly in his heart: "I want to cover it up, the more I describe it, the darker it is, I don't need to tell the truth." So Lin Yuan lowered his head and continued to eat, and said a few gossips by the way. At this time, the minister's wife said to Shen Wanqing: "Wanqing, I see You like children very much, you can also have a child of your own, "

Shen Wanqing smiled and said: "I'm busy with work now, let's talk about it later," then changed the topic, said something else, and the four of them chatted for a while, the French minister then smiled and said: "Mr. Lin Yuan, I want to introduce a new friend to you, I don't know if it is possible, "

Lin Yuan's heart was moved when he heard this, and he thought: "How can you introduce a new friend in the middle of a meal? When you call a new friend up, do you let them sit down and eat together or not? If you let them sit down, your I have eaten half of the meal, how impolite it is, and it would be even more impolite if you don't let me in, so this new friend must be unusual, I don't know who it is, "

So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's invite this new friend here."

The French envoy called a maid, and said with a smile: "Please come up with new friends." , the French minister said with a smile: "Mr. Lin Yuan, let me introduce you. This is the British special envoy, Mr. Maxwell Merrison,"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It turned out to be the British special envoy. Could it be that he came here for the affairs of the Far East Fleet? It's impossible. I just sent out the news of the complete annihilation of the Far East Fleet today. How did he come so quickly?" Lin Yuan thought Stretching out his hand while smiling, he said with a smile, "Mr. Merison, hello,"

Merison shook hands politely, and the French envoy asked someone to bring a chair for Merison, and then said to his wife, "Ma'am, don't you want to wear a Chinese Hanfu? You might as well go upstairs and discuss it with Mrs. Lin."

Madam nodded, and politely invited Shen Wanqing to go upstairs. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This is the rhythm of distracting women to discuss important matters." So Lin Yuan smiled at Merrison and said, "Mr. Merrison has come from afar. , don't know why, "

Merison smiled and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, I'm here for two things. One is the North Korean issue, and the other is the Far East Fleet."

Lin Yuan asked, "It's been less than a day since I sent the message, why did you arrive in China so quickly?"

Merison said: "I was in North Korea and had talks with General Nogi Nozomi. After the talks, I rushed to China. I only heard about the Far East Fleet when I was in China."

Lin Yuan said: "So that's the case, Mr. Merrison, I have just discussed my conditions with the French Minister. I believe you have heard it all, so I won't repeat it. You can directly state your conditions."

Merison said: "On the Japanese side, Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito's conditions are: Japan can withdraw from North Korea, no longer support the Korean Empire, and recognize the Korean People's Republic, but the emperor will not abdicate, China will not attack Japan, and Japan will sign a peace with China. treaty of friendship, "
