Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The next morning, Shen Wanqing came back at six o'clock in the morning. She opened the courtyard door and saw Lin Yuan doing push-ups in the courtyard. When Lin Yuan saw her walk in, he thought, "I don't know where she went, I should ask For a moment, but judging by her attitude last night, she wouldn't say anything if she asked, so don't ask."

Seeing that he didn't ask her where she went last night, Shen Wanqing couldn't help thinking: "Why doesn't he care about me at all? He doesn't even ask where I went?" Although she was unhappy because of this, she still He raised the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "The captain got up so early, look, I bought breakfast for everyone." He said and put the bag on the stone bench on the table.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat together." So he sat on the stone chair next to the stone bench.

People's sense of hearing seems to become very sensitive when they hear something to eat. Fade Chen, Zhang Hua and Tang Fan all popped up. Fade Chen directly opened the bag and stuffed a few sushi into his mouth together. While eating, he said, "This is the most authentic Japanese food!" Zhang Hua looked at the contents of the bag and thought, "It seems that what Shen Wanqing brought back is only enough for two people?"

Zhang Hua smiled thoughtfully, and then greeted the others to go out for dinner. In just a short while, Chen Fei had already eaten half of his breakfast, and Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "Eat, I'll go to sleep for a while, We won't go to the negotiation for a while."

After preparations, they arrived at Chunfan Building at ten o'clock. The meeting was held in a room on the second floor, and Lin Yuan volunteered to replace one of the translators.In addition to the editors of both parties, the Chinese representatives participating in the negotiations were Li Hongzhang, Li Jingfang and Lin Yuan, and the Japanese representatives were Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mutsu Munemitsu.Others wait in other rooms.

The two sides exchanged simple greetings, checked each other's authorization documents from the other government, and the negotiation began.Ito Hirobumi first said: "According to international practice, negotiations should be conducted under the condition of an armistice between the two sides. We have drafted an armistice clause, please read it to Li Zhongtang."

Although the two sides have effectively terminated their combat operations in North Korea, they still do not count as a state of armistice because they have not signed a legal armistice agreement.

The translator took over the document, which said very simply, all the Qing troops withdrew from North Korea, and the Qing government had to bear the expenses for the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea.

Lin Yuan was delighted when he heard it. He learned from historical materials that the negotiations between the two sides in history began with the negotiation of an armistice agreement. The land was handed over to the Japanese occupation as texture!The military expenses of the garrison should be borne by the Chinese!But the situation is completely different now, and the Japanese still dare to ask for prices.

Li Hongzhang said: "North Korea is my vassal territory of the Qing Dynasty. I sent my confidantes into North Korea to help the King of North Korea eradicate the chaotic party and restore peace and prosperity to the North Korean people. Now I am asked to withdraw my troops. This is a matter of my face. Let me ask Mr. Ito, Put yourself in the same place, what will you think of as love?"

Ito Hirobumi: "Nakado is here. The two countries have not yet ceased their military service. We are each our own master. If we want to cease the war, this is the only way."

Li Hongzhang said: "China and Japan are neighbors separated by a strip of water. Although there is a temporary quarrel, they will surely reconcile in the long run. If your country does not reserve dignity for China, it will be difficult to maintain the reconciliation."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Aren't we being led by the Japanese when we continue to talk like this?" So he had a plan, wrote something on the paper, and whispered to Li Hongzhang: "Master Zhongtang, how can there be only one negotiation? One side put forward conditions, I drafted an armistice agreement, and hoped that Mr. Nakadō would hand it over to the Japanese side.”

On this occasion, it is unimaginable that a small translator dared to raise opinions, but when Li Hongzhang saw Lin Yuan doing this, not only was he not angry, but he had a good impression of him, thinking that this young man is really a brave man .

Lin Yuan wrote directly in Japanese, but Li Hongzhang couldn't understand it, so he motioned Lin Yuan to translate it for himself.But Lin Yuan handed the document directly to Ito Hirobumi as if he didn't understand it. When Ito Hirobumi saw it, his expression changed drastically!

It turned out that Lin Yuan's document clearly stated: Armistice agreement, all Japanese troops withdrew from North Korea, Pyongyang and Seoul were handed over to the Qing army to garrison, and all expenses during the garrison period were borne by the Japanese side.

Ito Hirobumi then smiled and said: "It's not too early now, it's time for lunch. The puffer fish in Chunfan Tower are famous far and wide, why don't you ask Li Zhongtang to enjoy it, and after lunch, we will send a commissioner to accompany Li Zhongtang." Zhongtang and his party are walking around, and come to negotiate again tomorrow, what do you think?"

So Li Hongzhang agreed. As soon as Lin Yuan returned to the station, he saw Shen Wanqing calling him. When he entered the room, he saw Shen Wanqing and two comrades listening to something with earphones. Lin Yuan immediately understood, Shen Wanqing Qing went to install the bug that night.

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "Look at me. Not only did I hear your conversation, but I can even hear the conversation between Ito Hirobumi and Mutsu Munemitsu clearly."

Shen Wanqing added: "Why do I feel that in today's negotiation, both sides are trying to test each other, and they don't seem to know each other's hole cards very well."

Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

Shen Wanqing said: "I think that both sides are not very clear about what happened on the Korean battlefield? The personnel of the Qing court seem to feel that they are losers on the battlefield, so they dare not reject the Japanese plan abruptly; and The Japanese also seem to feel that they are the losers on the battlefield, so you gave them a draft and they made excuses to stop negotiations."

Lin Yuan said: "Your analysis is very reasonable. I also think that the two sides are not very clear about the situation on the battlefield. After all, an aircraft carrier passed through and captured the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy. This kind of thing is not something anyone can imagine. .”

At this time, Ito Hirobumi's voice came from the earphones. He seemed to be discussing things with a group of people, because the voice in the earphones was very noisy. He said: "Do you think the Qing government doesn't understand our situation, or they have other tricks? ?”

At this time, a voice that Lin Yuan was very familiar with came from the earphones—Ito Yuheng, it turned out that after the Beijing ship left Jialulin Bay, Japan sent other ships to pick up the soldiers of the United Fleet.

Ito Youheng said: "The mysterious power used by the other party is far beyond our imagination. They can even directly attack the mainland of Tokyo. Our joint fleet has been controlled by them at this time, but the personnel of the Qing court do not seem to know this. , looking at them, it seems that they are defeated countries."

Hirobumi Ito said: "The man named Lin Yuan looks very mysterious. Our intelligence department can't find any information about this person at all, as if he appeared out of thin air, and although he is apparently Li Hongzhang's translator But he doesn't seem to care about Li Hongzhang at all, and he doesn't look like Li Hongzhang's subordinate at all."

Hirobumi Ito said again: "Commander Ito, we have organized experts and professors from Tokyo Imperial University. You can meet with them in a while and see if you can reveal Lin Yuan's mysterious identity and those flying weapons. We also have these things, and we can drop hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs on the heads of the Chinese and those Western ghosts."

Mutsu Munemitsu said: "Tomorrow's negotiations, we should be tougher and strive for greater rights and interests for our Great Japanese Empire!" After he finished speaking, the people attending the meeting echoed and left, and the room returned to silence.

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Agent Shen University really helped us a lot. This time we have figured out the Japanese's trump cards, so we don't have to worry about hitting them hard at the negotiating table! Wan Qing, please find a way to get it." How about the conversation between Youheng Ito and those professors?" Shen Wanqing couldn't help feeling strange when she heard him call herself that.

At this moment, a guard rushed in and said, "Is it Mr. Lin? Is there someone named Tang Fan among your people? Something happened to him."
