Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Shinji Iwamoto was stunned when he heard Lin Yuan's method, he asked blankly: "Do you really have this ability?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course, look at this kind of barnacle, its scientific name is..." Lin Yuan frowned when he said this, and said: "There is no corresponding Chinese name, so I will give it to you. Say the name in Latin." After speaking, Lin Yuan popped out a Latin word, and then continued: "The sea area where this kind of barnacles grow should be near Changshan Island, I believe that is where you came from .”

Shinji Iwamoto was stunned when he heard Lin Yuan's words. He couldn't believe that Lin Yuan had deduced where they came from just relying on the creatures attached to the boat, but he didn't want to admit that Lin Yuan's guess was right, so he turned his head away, He said disdainfully: "Nonsense! We didn't come from that place."

Lin Yuan looked at the dumbfounded Shinji Iwamoto, and said with a sneer, "Believe it or not, anyway, we will soon send troops to the island to destroy your opium dens, and see if I guessed right!" Lin Yuan walked from the house When he came out, the soldier asked Lin Yuan in surprise: "Shuai Lin, is what you said true? What 'Latin' do you know!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I only know the fur, but I happen to know this kind of barnacles. You take me to the place where other captains are imprisoned. I want to ask about the situation on the island in detail." Soon Lin Yuan They found a room, and then asked the soldiers to find a captain. The captain bowed politely to Lin Yuan as soon as he entered the door, and then said: "My lord Fujita Takeshi, it's an honor to meet you, please give me your advice. "

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought: "It's hard to deal with such a talent!" He pointed to the seat in front of him and said, "Please sit down."

Fujita just said "thank you" and sat on the chair. Lin Yuan asked straight to the point: "Where does your fleet come from?"

Fujita replied readily: "We are from Changshan Island, where there is a large opium processing base, and we are responsible for transporting the opium there to China." Lin Yuan thought: "I didn't expect this person It’s a pleasure.” So he asked again: “What do you process there?”

Fujita said with a smile: "You may not know much about opium. Opium comes from a flower called poppy. After the flower blooms, the fruit will have milky white juice. After drying the juice, it will be It has become raw opium, but at this time opium smells like urine, and no one likes it."

"Our factory refines raw opium into mature opium, and also adds a lot of spices to it, so that the opium will be fun to smoke and everyone will like it. You don't know, is there any kind of opium in China? At least, you see, there are British and American products. Why can we Japanese products stand out? It depends on our spices, but which spices are commercial secrets, so I have no comment below! "

Lin Yuan found it funny when he heard his words, who cares about your opium craftsmanship!Lin Yuan asked: "Where did your raw opium come from?" Fujita replied: "It was shipped from North Korea. The North Korean occupation forces forced local farmers to grow opium."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that we must hurry up to liberate the Korean people!" Lin Yuan asked, "Then why did Shinji Iwamoto say that you are the American fleet? What is the relationship between the British at the port and you? Why did the British to help you?"

Fujita just smiled and said: "That's too much to say, 50.00% of the fleet's shares belong to an American company. As for what company it is, I won't talk about it. As for the British, even though they have fought against the Americans The battle was quite unpleasant, after all, Americans are of the British race, father and son have no overnight feud, and they will definitely help each other at this time."

Lin Yuan finally couldn't help laughing when he heard the humorous words of this Fujita Takeshi. Fujita said again: "Isn't there an old Chinese saying that brothers should settle accounts? In fact, there are also interests between the British and the Americans." As a matter of fact, the American shareholders will give a sum of money to the British, and the British will provide them with protection in the port."

Fujita went on to say: "So, the British must help the Americans. You have also seen how complicated the relationship is here." Fujita stopped talking and said, "I see you Interrogate me personally, your position in Lin Yuan's subordinates must not be low, I kindly advise you, let us go as soon as possible."

Lin Yuan asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Fujita Tsuyoshi said: "Our fleet has so many interests involved, you have seized our fleet, can the United States and the United Kingdom agree? Don't talk about you, even if Lin Yuan comes, he has to bow his head and give in. After that, the Qing court will definitely hold him accountable, he has no choice but to find someone below to carry it, tell me, who is not you who is carrying it?"

Fujita just changed into a earnest tone, as if Lin Yuan was his ignorant three-year-old child, and said: "Officials in the Qing court all have this kind of virtue. They hide when they encounter things and go to the advantage when they see benefits. You provoked them tonight." It’s not a small disaster, you’d better let me go quickly, maybe I can say something nice for you.”

Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard his words, and said, "How do you know that Lin Yuan is afraid of the British and Americans?"

Fujita said with a smile: "Lin Yuan may not be afraid of the British and Americans, but he should be afraid of the Germans, right?"

Lin Yuan asked curiously, "Why are you only afraid of the Germans?"

Fujita just smiled and said, "Think about it, who sold the two best iron-clad ships of the Beiyang Fleet, the Dingyuan Ship and the Zhenyuan Ship, to the Qing court? It wasn't the Germans, and now the Beiyang Fleet has been completely wiped out." That’s why the Qing court must rebuild the navy, relying on the Qing court’s ability to build warships by itself, building a navy is simply a dream, so they can only sell warships from Germany.”

Lin Yuan asked: "How can you be sure that the Qing court will not buy from the British?"

Fujita said with a smile: "Now the British shipyards are doing their best to develop new weapons, and they have no spare capacity to sell weapons to other countries. Isn't this the Ryukyu fleet that defeated our Japanese fleet with less power a while ago? Ryukyu Another fleet display was made, which showed a lot of new weapons, so the British, who felt that they were backward, went crazy and started to make new warships, and they will soon produce results."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "That's not right! Opium is only related to the United Kingdom and the United States. What does it have to do with the Germans?"

Fujita said with a smile: "I just forgot to say that our ships are all purchased from Germany, and they are equipped with new engines used by the German company Otto. The original engines burned coal, but the current engines burn oil. It’s easy to use, but when we bought the ship, we didn’t trust the new type of engine, so it was written in the contract that Japan only pays half of the original amount, and the balance will be paid after the new type of engine has been used for one year without failure. clear."

"But now that you have detained the ship, the ship will no longer be used. There is a clear stipulation on this situation in the contract: if an irresistible third party intervenes and prevents the Japanese side from exercising the right to use the ship, it will be deemed Since it is impossible to determine whether the new engine has major design failures, the Japanese side will no longer pay the original amount.”

"In this way, the Germans will also intervene. You see, under the interference of the three countries, Britain, Germany, and the United States, does Lin Yuan dare not compromise?"
