Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

After Hou Zhengfeng finished speaking, he lay unconscious on the table, and when he fell down, he just hit the sauce dish of sweet noodle sauce, staining his face, Xindike sneered disdainfully: "You are still a railway expert just like this?" After speaking, he shook his head and walked away up.

Shen Wanqing hurried over to help Hou Zhengfeng up. Listening to his slight snoring, Shen Wanqing asked Lin Yuan suspiciously: "What's going on? I've seen people who get drunk easily after drinking, but I've never seen someone so easy to get drunk. Yes, how did he fall asleep when he fell asleep?"

Lin Yuan reluctantly picked up the wine bottle and said: "Look at the wine he bought, the pure Beijing Erguotou, a famous spirit, he just drank one glass after another when he was talking about military engineering, and then he blew on the bottle directly. , drinking baijiu is most afraid of drinking on an empty stomach, no, you must be drunk!"

Lin Yuan picked up Hou Zhengfeng and brought him back to the embassy. Hou Zhengfeng didn't wake up until the next morning. As soon as he woke up, he asked Lin Yuan, "Aren't I eating roast duck? Why are you back?"

Lin Yuan said: "I said, Mr. Hou, don't you remember what happened yesterday?"

Hou Zhengfeng thought for a while and said, "There was a foreign devil who seemed to ask me a question. I felt dizzy at the time, and then I don't know what happened."

Lin Yuan said: "The question he asks you is: what shape should the cross-section of the rail be? How simple is this question? It is large and easy to bend it, so you should choose the shape with the largest flexural modulus, that is, I-shaped, this is the introductory knowledge of railway engineering, why didn’t you answer it at that time?”

Hou Zhengfeng smiled embarrassingly, and said: "I drank a little too much at the time, and my mind didn't turn around for a while."

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "You made me miserable in the future, don't you remember? You are going to build a railway with the Americans, and there will be a competition whose train runs faster!"

Hou Zhengfeng said: "What's the point? Just compare!"

Lin Yuan said: "By? It's easy for you to say, let me ask you, after repairing the railway, we need to let the trains run. Most of the trains we use now are left by the Russians, and some are eliminated by the British to sell. For us, the speed is more than ten kilometers per hour, but what about the Americans? They are determined to win this big contract, so they have already shipped advanced train units. If you say that if you compare speed, how can we win? "

Hou Zhengfeng thought for a while and said, "Then can't we build a train?"

Lin Yuan picked up a letter in his hand and said, "This is from Xindike. It said that the railway construction competition in Sanli Village on the northern outskirts of the city will be three days later. How could we build a train unit? , and the personnel and equipment for laying the railway are all in the northeast, and it will take more than a day to come back, so how can there be time to lay the railway!"

Hou Zhengfeng rubbed his head and stopped talking, Lin Yuan said helplessly: "In this case, we have no choice but to admit defeat."

Hou Zhengfeng slapped the bed board when he heard this, and said: "You must never admit defeat to the foreign devils, how about this, you take me to Sanli Village, maybe there will be a solution."

Lin Yuan then brought Hou Zhengfeng to Sanli Village, just in time to see Xindike leading people to pile up roadbeds and lay sleepers here, and the surrounding people were watching curiously. Seeing Lin Yuan coming, Xindike said with a smile: "Our The railway has already started to be laid, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you will lose."

Lin Yuan smiled and didn't answer. At this moment, he saw Hou Zhengfeng squatting on the ground looking at something, then stood up and said to Lin Yuan, "Okay, I have a way to win them."

Lin Yuan asked softly, "What can you do?"

Hou Zhengfeng said mysteriously: "The secret must not be leaked, just wait and see."

The two returned to Beijing. In the afternoon, the two sides were negotiating on railway construction. Relying on his own experience and technology in railway construction, Xindike said aggressively as soon as he came up: "We first ask you, China, to guarantee our autonomy in railway construction. , For example, we need to arrange our own working hours every day.”

Lin Yuan didn't express his opinion, but asked, "If you have any other requests, please ask them all at once."

Xindike said: "In the process of railway construction, all the materials needed must be purchased by us. You Chinese can only pay for it. You Chinese have no right to check the required funds."

A recorder at the side suddenly spoke up: "We have paid out, but we can't even check where the money went. You are too bullying!"

Xindike said coldly: "You Chinese don't know how to build railways at all, so we don't let you intervene to ensure that the project can be completed on schedule. Also, since you don't understand railways, those things are just for you to see. If you don’t understand, you might as well not read it.”

A few words left the recorder speechless. He turned his head to look at Lin Yuan, and found that Lin Yuan's face was sinking like water, so he stopped talking. Xindike said again: "Because the selected route was proposed by your Chinese side. , and the construction of these lines is very difficult, so the construction period must be very long, we request that the end date of the project be determined by us.”

Another recorder couldn't stand it anymore, and he said angrily: "We paid for the construction of the railway, but in the end we can't even decide when it will be completed. There is no such thing in the world! You are absolutely shameless!"

Xindike shrugged indifferently, and said: "If you Chinese are unwilling to do it, then you can hire someone else. According to the difficulty of your railway line, only our company dares to take it!"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Are you so sure that we Chinese don't know how to build railways?"

Xindike said: "Although you have built many railways in the Northeast, in our eyes, those railways should be eliminated."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Let me tell you about my conditions."

Xindike sneered in his heart and said: "You dare to raise conditions!" So he looked at Lin Yuan mockingly, Lin Yuan laughed and said: "We will supply the key components such as track beds, steel rails, and track sleepers, and you are only responsible for dispatching workers. Under the command of , install these parts."

Xindike said with a smile: "I advise you not to do this, you come out with these things? Do you know how to make them? Do you know how far the road ties should be? Do you know how the steel rails and the ties should be connected? Do you know how much gap there should be between the rails?"

Lin Yuan smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to worry about these things. If you don't agree, you can leave now."

Xindike threw the documents in his hand on the table, and said viciously: "In this case, we may not be able to cooperate!"

Lin Yuan gently put the documents in his hand on the table, pointed to the door, and said coldly: "Then get out of here now!" As soon as he said that, the Chinese people in the room burst into applause.

Xindike stood up and said, "I hope you haven't forgotten our gamble. I hope that through this gamble, you can understand the gap in strength between us. After that, you will ask us to help you build the railway."

Lin Yuan sneered and said, "I don't know who we are begging for!"

As soon as Xindike left, Lin Yuan asked Hou Zhengfeng: "Should we go to the place where the competition is to lay the rails?"

Hou Zhengfeng smiled lightly and said, "We can beat them just as well without the rails."
