With a "bang", a terrible collision happened. The stern of McCarthy's ship hit the middle of the hull of the ship behind. The two propellers at the stern were smashed at that time, and the ship behind was also hit hard Light, the entire middle section of the hull was dented.

The worst thing was the people on the ship. The sailors had already rested and were lying on the beds in the cabin. The impact knocked them all down. At this time, another explosion sounded. It turned out that the bomb on the anchor chain behind the ship also exploded. The ship lost traction and immediately floated on the water.

However, the two ships were a certain distance away from the third ship, so their drift on the water did not hit the third ship, and then the anchor chain of the third ship was also blown off, and the third ship After drifting for a while, it directly hit the berm on the shore, not only dented a large part of the hull, but was also firmly stuck on the berm, unable to move.

Seeing that his three warships had suffered such a huge loss, McCarthy was furious, and immediately ordered to find out the cause of the accident, and soon soldiers came to report: "The anchor chains of the three warships are all broken!"

When McCarthy heard this, he almost thought that the soldiers were joking. When he walked out of the cockpit, came to the bow, and saw the broken anchor chain, he was stunned. He said to himself: "How about the anchor chain?" Could it be broken? We had checked it when we set off, and it was intact, not even a single crack!"

The messenger asked from the side: "Could it be that Lin Yuan sent someone to do it?"

McCarthy said: "How is it possible? How could they blow up our anchor chain. We had people monitoring the water last night. It is impossible for them to send a boat over. It is impossible for their people to come from the water."

The messenger said: "Why can't they come down from the water? If they swim from underwater, wouldn't they be able to install bombs on the anchor chain?"

McCarthy shook his head and said, "Impossible. With the explosive technology of the Chinese, they can at most make black powder. Black powder cannot be used if the humidity reaches 15.00%, let alone in water. It seems that we have encountered a supernatural event."

The people on the boat spent the night in fear, and early the next morning, Lin Yuan appeared in their field of vision on a Haixun Type [-] ship, and then Lin Yuan boarded McCarthy's boat, and McCarthy didn't care when he saw Lin Yuan. With a good face, he shouted at Lin Yuan: "What are you doing here?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I heard that your ship had a collision accident last night, so let me take a look. Out of humanitarian considerations, we can still provide you with the necessary rescue."

In fact, Lin Yuan was trying to anger him on purpose, but as expected, McCarthy's nose was almost crooked, he gave Lin Yuan a cold look and was about to go back to the cabin, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't go, I'll let you know , we will send those so-called Americans back to Fengtian for trial."

McCarthy didn't care about those people's lives, so he nodded nonchalantly. Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "Read today's newspaper?"

Lin Yuan's sudden statement on this occasion really surprised McCarthy, he frowned coldly, and said angrily: "If you just want to talk to me about these trivial things, then I'm sorry, I'm very busy, There is no time at all, so please come back."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Oh, I remembered, you can't read Chinese, how about this, let me read it to you: Lin Yuan, governor of the three eastern provinces, destroyed the opium manufacturing base on Changshan Island a few days ago, arrested More than [-] workers were arrested, hundreds of thousands of boxes of raw and cooked opium were seized, and these workers were all Japanese..."

McCarthy couldn't help frowning when he heard these words. He knew about the fact that the United States invested in the construction of an opium production base on Changshan Island. Once the base was destroyed, goods worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and future profits of millions of dollars would be lost. Floating, McCarthy thought: "No, I must notify the ambassador to China of this matter as soon as possible, and let him come forward to resolve this matter."

So McCarthy grabbed the newspaper, glared at Lin Yuan, and said, "The real purpose of your coming here is to tell me about your destruction of the opium base on Changshan Island, right?"

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, and McCarthy sneered, "Okay, we will soon submit an official letter to your Prime Minister's Office, and then this official letter will be placed on your emperor's desk, and you just wait for him to withdraw your letter." job."

Lin Yuan laughed and said: "It seems that you really don't know anything about China. Now I am the biggest official in the Prime Minister's Office, so all the official documents will be handed over to me. I am the only one who has the final say, do you understand?"

McCarthy was once again rendered speechless by Lin Yuan's words, so he could only angrily say, "Hurry up, I still have a lot of work to do!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you want to repair the blown anchor chain? Do you want us to help?"

McCarthy was livid with Lin Yuan's anger, and Lin Yuan wanted to say a few more sarcastic remarks, but he was afraid that he would disregard the commander's dignity and pounce on him like a hooligan to fight with him. He may not be an opponent because he is tall and big, so Lin Yuan didn't say much, and returned to his boat, thinking: "I really should learn to fight in the future."

On the way back, Chen Qingyun asked: "Shuai Lin, why did you tell the Americans about this? They will definitely come to trouble you."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "This is a trick to invite you into the urn, and you will know later."

Three days later, someone reported that the American ambassador Consin Thomas and the British ambassador Michael Jonas were visiting. After hearing this, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "These two people came together. It seems that Britain and the United States are the same We need to join forces." Lin Yuan thought of a countermeasure, and said to his followers: "Please come in, both of them."

After Lin Yuan finished giving his orders, he sat at his desk and pretended to be working. When the door opened, Lin Yuan stood up immediately, walked towards Jonas, and said, "Haha, my old friend, long time no see. , I want to give you good news, I found out that Asco, the chief tax officer of Yingkou Port, was collaborating with the Japanese in smuggling opium, and I have already locked him up, and I will hand it over to you to deal with."

After Lin Yuan said this, Jonas didn't know how to speak, but the American ambassador Thomas next to him said: "Hi, Governor Lin, we are here this time for this matter, as far as I know, You illegally seized the belongings of our citizens, so I am here to solve this matter."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, please sit down." The three of them sat down together, and Thomas said, "I need to have a private meeting with you. I hope Mr. Jonas can avoid it first?"

Jonas nodded and walked out the door. Thomas said: "I also know that those things are opium, and I also know that selling opium is illegal. The laws of your Qing Dynasty and the laws of our United States of America are not allowed. But you also know that the law of the jungle of the jungle is what is emphasized internationally, so there is no such thing as breaking the law or not, and I am here this time to ask you to return this batch of opium to us."
