Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Are you sure? I also tell you clearly that you don't dare to beat us at all!"

The messenger glared at Lin Yuan fiercely, turned around and left, and said harshly before pushing open the door: "Lin Yuan, we will land at Pier No. [-] in an hour, you just wait to be our prisoner. "After that, he slammed the door and left.

What happened terrified Chen Qingyun who was on the edge of Lin Yuan. He said in a panic, "Marshal Lin, what should we do? We don't have warships in Yingkou!"

Lin Yuan smiled confidently: "Didn't I say that? They dare not beat us. In this way, you will catch the captain and American crew that I caught selling Chinese before, as well as the Japanese devils who transported opium." Go up to the pier and wait for the Americans there!"

Lin Yuan led a company of soldiers, and escorted the captured American captain and Iwamoto Shinji, who had previously captured Chinese traffickers, to Pier One. in the eyes.

Lin Yuan stood on the pier and watched, and soon saw a small boat coming in from the outside. The ship was an ordinary civilian ship, and it didn't look like a gunboat at all. Just as Lin Yuan felt strange, the small boat was approaching the pier. Yuan Xin thought: "It seems that I was wrong, this ship is not an American ship at all."

At this moment, a gangplank was set up on the boat, and two blond men came down from it, one of them was the envoy Lin Yuan had seen before, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform with various Lin Yuan doesn't understand the beauty titles of this era, so he doesn't know how to call them.

Lin Yuan was hesitating, but the middle-aged man stretched out his hand, and said with a smile, "I am the commander of the US task force this time, Arthur McCarthy." As he spoke, he pointed to the messenger beside him, He smiled and said, "This is my emissary. He is a little young, so his attitude is very bad. I apologize to you on behalf of him."

Lin Yuan was also taken aback by their appearance, he thought the Americans would rush in aggressively, but who knew they would be so polite.It turned out that McCarthy originally planned to rush to the pier to rescue his fellow Americans, but the envoy said "Lin Yuan is at the port" instantly dispelled his idea. He had also heard of Lin Yuan's name and knew him. deeds, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Lin Yuan reached out to shake his hand, McCarthy said with a smile: "I am here this time to bring our people back, even though they violated your laws, according to the "Wangxia" signed between our country and your country Treaty, our citizens have consular jurisdiction, so your government has no power to dispose of them."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, you can bring them all back." Lin Yuan waved his hand behind and said, "Bring them all here."

The people behind walked away triumphantly, and after they formed a line, Lin Yuan said to McCarthy: "You can take them back to China."

Walking in the front was the bearded white captain and American crew on the labor ship, followed by the Japanese opium dealer who claimed to be an American. When the American crew had passed by and the Japanese opium dealer walked up to McCarthy, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand stopped them.

Lin Yuan looked at McCarthy and asked, "Are they Americans too?"

McCarthy nodded slightly, and Lin Yuan smiled and said: "There is no proof, I need to see the evidence! Do you have their passports?" The word "passport" appeared in 1845, and it is a certificate presented by the government of the country to its citizens Identity documents, these Japanese do not have this thing at all, they usually say that they are Americans, and others will not check their passports.

McCarthy did not have their passports in his hands, so Lin Yuan was dumbfounded when he asked this question. Lin Yuan looked at him and said, "Well, since there is no evidence to prove that they are American citizens, then I have no choice but to detain them. .”

As Lin Yuan waved his subordinates, he said, "Take them back." Shinji Iwamoto, Goshi Fujita and others were about to escape from the "magic lair", but they were arrested again, and their faces were filled with disappointment.McCarthy doesn't care about the life and death of those Japanese. He was already very happy to see the Americans rescued. When he came here, he thought Lin Yuan was such a difficult person to deal with, so he prepared several sets in his heart. Talking, but when we met, I didn't expect to get him back so easily, and I suddenly felt contemptuous.So McCarthy said with a smile: "I will send someone to send the passports of these crew members, but the goods on board belong to the United States of America. There are all kinds of documents on the ship. You can check them, so I hope you return the goods on board. us."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Those goods are all opium. They violate my ban on opium, so I have to detain them. Your consular jurisdiction only stipulates that our government has no right to take relevant sanctions against your citizens, but it does not say We have no right to take relevant measures against your cargo."

McCarthy argued: "As a natural extension of people, our goods should have the same rights as people." Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "Can goods be a natural extension of people? I don't know where you moved them from." This fallacy, should I be punished the same for smashing your things as for injuring you?"

McCarthy was rendered speechless by Lin Yuan's words. He frowned and said angrily, "If you don't return the goods to us, then don't blame me for being rude."

Lin Yuan asked: "What do you want? Are you going to send people ashore to snatch it? Let me tell you, as long as your people dare to set foot on our land, I will judge your behavior as aggression. I will wipe out every single person."

Seeing that Lin Yuan readily agreed to let him go, McCarthy thought that Lin Yuan was as weak and incompetent as other officials of the Qing court, so he threatened him, but he didn't expect Lin Yuan to push back without being humble. He was also very hot-tempered. It is impossible to give in in front of so many people, so he said: "Well, at eleven o'clock tonight, our troops will land ashore, and we have the right to protect the property of our United States of America from loss."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I will wait for you at eleven o'clock in the evening."

As soon as McCarthy left, Chen Qingyun at the side said to Lin Yuan: "Marshal Lin, you really want to fight! This fight will be another war!"

Lin Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Do you think McCarthy really dares to fight? You don't know how far they are from the United States. If there is a fight, where will they go to get food and ammunition, so McCarthy is happy Mouth, I will give him a strong dose of medicine in a while, so that he will suffer from being dumb!"

Chen Qingyun knew that Lin Yuan had another plan. He knew that this plan must be a military secret, and he would not tell Lin Yuan if he asked him, so he didn't ask any more questions. Lin Yuan returned to the headquarters and called Yu Ming to tell him. Said: "The three American gunboats are parked at the exit of the port. You will work hard in a while and go to condolences to them."
