Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

This is a small steam ship, so the speed is relatively slow. Driving in the channel, Lin Yuan looked at the cargo ships coming and going, and found that there were no Chinese people checking the foreign ships entering the port. Lin Yuan couldn't help thinking: "In the past They only care about fighting wars, but they don’t think about operating the port, so we must manage the port well in the future.”

Lin Yuan knew that Chinese customs in this era were already in the hands of foreigners. When foreign goods entered China, China did not have the power to formulate tariffs on its own. Tariffs must be negotiated with foreigners, and China has always been in a weak position in international relations. , so these tariffs are usually very low.

Low tariffs allow foreign countries to dump goods without scruple, which is a fatal blow to China's fledgling national industry. If foreigners sell only ordinary goods to China, that's all. A large amount of opium was sold, and China fought two wars with Britain because of opium, both of which ended in defeat, which completely legalized the opium trade in China.Lin Yuan thought: "If these old diseases are not cured, China will never recover, but the day when they are eradicated is not too far away."

Lin Yuan raised his binoculars and looked into the distance. According to what Jonas said, the ship carrying the seeds was called the General and flew the British flag. However, Lin Yuan did not find this ship after looking for a long time. However, Lin Yuan saw a strange ship.

This ship is not close to my own ship, more than 2000 meters away, and the national flag is not hoisted on it. It stands to reason that the national flag must be hoisted when entering the port of other countries, but China is bullied by others in this era. It is not surprising that this ship does not fly the national flag. .

This was a cargo ship with a very low waterline, obviously full of things. Lin Yuan saw four things falling from the ship, splashing water one by one.

Lin Yuan felt very strange, raised the binoculars in his hand and looked towards the ship, only to see that the falling objects were actually people!These people didn't fall into the water by mistake, but jumped out of the boat. After those people fell into the water, they swam desperately towards the pier.

Lin Yuan pointed to the boat for Xie Sichen who was beside him, and said, "Look at that boat, why did someone jump off it?"

Xie Sichen said: "It is very likely that the ship has malfunctioned, so these people have no choice but to abandon the ship and escape."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "No way, you see that the ship is stable, there is no sign of tilting at all, why did the people on it abandon the ship and escape? Also, the boats on the ship are still in good condition, Why didn't anyone go up and lower the boat to escape?"

Xie Sichen frowned and said, "That's right, what's the reason?"

Lin Yuan immediately ordered: Go forward at full speed and go to that ship.With an order, the steamboat sailed towards the big ship, but the big ship didn't move, so Lin Yuan's steamboat quickly approached it.

At this moment, the people who had jumped off kept waving to the boat in the water, and Lin Yuan realized that they were all Chinese. Lin Yuan hurriedly asked his men to rescue them, and waited until the first person was rescued. At that time, Lin Yuan asked him: "What's going on? Why did you jump ship?"

The man said: "Yes... yes... because..." Lin Yuan was eager to know the situation, but he didn't expect that the rescued person was stuttering. The more anxious the stammer, the more speechless he became. He turned his head and said to the people next to him, "Save another one."

When the next one was rescued, he saw this person yelling "hoo hoo" and gesticulating something with his hands. Lin Yuan understood at a glance that he was a mute. Make me panic to death!"

At this time, Xie Sichen came over and said to Lin Yuan: "There is a relative in my family who can't speak, so I understand some sign language, let me talk to him."

Lin Yuan said anxiously: "That's great, hurry up and ask what happened on the boat."

Xie Sichen walked up to the mute, and made gestures for a while, and the mute also gestured with him for a while, both of them looked at a loss, Lin Yuan asked from the side: "What's wrong? Did you find out what happened?"

Xie Sichen said helplessly: "The sign language of this era seems to be different from that of our era. I can't understand what is sign language?"

At this moment, two more people were rescued. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "These two can't be dumb." Crying loudly on the deck, Lin Yuan even asked a few times, but both of them ignored him.

At this moment, the stutterer finally popped out a sentence: "They...are idiots, don't ask them anything."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This stammer is still reliable, let's ask him." So Lin Yuan ordered to continue chasing the ship in front, while waiting for Stammer to finish speaking, he stammered and said: "We were tricked into getting into the boat by someone. The boat, they want to sell us to be piglets, and there are many more on the boat, all of us."

When Lin Yuan heard the words "pigboys", his heart immediately became angry, because he immediately understood what this ship was for. This ship was to sell Chinese laborers to all over the world. boat!

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Chinese were trafficked to various parts of the world as coolies, such as the United States. When the Pacific Railway was built in the United States, a large number of Chinese laborers were used, but these people did not have the slightest personal protection. Insulted and abused by the locals, these Chinese are called "pigs".

The people on the ship were furious when they heard this. After defeating the Japanese and Russians, the Chinese people's hearts were also high. When they heard that someone dared to arrest their compatriots, several sailors immediately took out their guns and pointed at them. The boat fired a few shots, and a sailor turned on the loudspeaker and shouted: "Stop the boat! Stop the boat for me!"

The boat in front didn't know what happened. He heard gunshots and shouts, so he slowed down the boat. Lin Yuan ordered the helmsman to bring the steamboat closer to the big boat, and shouted at the top: "Where is your captain? Give him to me." Call out." Soon a bearded white man came out, and Lin Yuan yelled at him: "Come on the gangway, we need to board the ship for inspection!"

The bearded white man sneered: "Who do you think you are? Want to board our ship, dreaming!"

Lin Yuan said angrily, "I'm Lin Yuan, governor of the three eastern provinces, can't I board your boat?"

The bearded white man smiled disdainfully and said, "Lin Yuan, governor of the three eastern provinces, heh, it must be something to you Chinese, but in the eyes of the United States of America, it's just a piece of shit."

Lin Yuan took out a pistol from his waist, pointed at the bearded white man and said, "Hurry up and build the gangway, let's get on board!"

Seeing Lin Yuan pointing a gun at him, the white bearded man was not afraid at all, but said provocatively, "You son of a bitch, shoot if you have the ability!"

Although Lin Yuan hated these people, he also knew that killing an American at will would cause a lot of trouble, so he lifted his hand up and shot off the white bearded man's hat with a "bang".The white bearded man covered his head in fright, turned around and fled into the cabin, shouting loudly: "Let's go, let's go!"
