Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan asked, "Can that issue of the newspaper be taken back?"

Shen Wanqing shook her head and said, "It's impossible, we've sold it to several places."

Lin Yuan said: "Okay then, I can only use this method."

Shen Wanqing asked: "How are you going to arrange her? Send her to the northeast?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I want to send her away, but I want to send her further away, I want to send her to England."

Shen Wanqing exclaimed: "What did you say? England! Don't be kidding! She's a little girl, you send her to England, what will she do after she goes to England?"

Lin Yuan said: "This is how I think about it. We will go to the UK to open a news agency in the name of a newspaper. She is our reporter and enjoys the same treatment as a diplomat in the UK, so don't worry about anyone hurting her. Tang Fan Didn’t you have the experience of working in the British branch of Xinhua News Agency? Just let him go with you, and we will form a mission.”

"After they get there, what they do is definitely not just communication. They can also collect intelligence related to the British society there. I will go to the UK to negotiate soon. I plan to use this negotiation to touch them. As you know, the country's strategic trends and weapons development, without this information, we don't know what kind of navy we will build! They can be used as early preparations for negotiations."

Shen Wanqing nodded and said, "That's fine, but we should discuss it with her."

Lin Yuan said: "Well, you can discuss it with her. In our era, she had studied in Japan, so I don't think she would have any resistance to studying abroad."

Shen Wanqing said: "Well, I will tell her in a few days that I have another question. You told me before that you will use the royal money from the Qing court to build the railway. Looking at it today I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, Qiu Jin's article has been labeled as a monster book and rumor by Yuan Shikai. I really need to think of a way. Since the idea of ​​​​the royal family fee can't be won, then I should think about something else." way to make money."

Shen Wanqing asked: "Why don't you still charge them all kinds of fees like in Yingkou?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "That won't work. There are four major ports in China now. The largest is Shanghai Port, which accounts for 60.00% of China's total import and export goods every year, followed by Guangzhou Port, which also accounts for [-]% of China's import and export goods every year. About ten percent, followed by Tianjin Port and Hankou Port, Hankou Port is mainly used for Yangtze River shipping.”

"Yingkou Port is just a small port, and the annual import and export volume is less than one percent, so I can bully them wantonly there. If it is in Shanghai Port, they will definitely try to counter me. We are now In a critical period of construction and development, the arsenal needs to focus on the development of new weapons, and we must not fight foreigners at this time."

Shen Wanqing nodded and said, "Okay then, you can think of a way, and I'll discuss your plan with Qiu Jin."

Lin Yuan came out from the newspaper office and thought: "What should I do?" Just as he was thinking, suddenly a person appeared in front of him, and this person smiled and asked, "My brother, how do I get to the Wan Guo Theater?"

Lin Yuan pointed behind him with his hand and said, "You are going in the wrong direction. The Wan Guo Theater is behind you." Said: "Would I be the same as him, and reverse the direction?"

"I used to think about getting money from foreign businessmen, but I never thought that I could also get money from foreign people. I used to get money by means of power. There are many other means that can be used, such as: trade!"

"I always feel that the cutting-edge technology I have mastered is concentrated in the military. In fact, it is not the case. Many military high-tech can be converted into civilian use. Using these technologies to produce goods and transport them to foreign countries to buy them will bring money!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly felt as if another village was brighter than the willows, but he also found that there are too many things that can be used for civilian use. The beggar in the middle of the night suddenly sat on the Manhan banquet, not knowing which dish to eat.

Lin Yuan was thinking, when suddenly a message came from the communicator: Captain, hurry to Shanghai immediately!Lin Yuan didn't see the signature, so he sent a voice call request to that communication number, and soon a familiar voice came out, that person was Fade Chen!

Lin Yuan said in surprise: "We haven't seen each other for a while, why did you go to Shanghai?"

Fade Chen said: "Didn't you send people to buy tin mines in various places? Under the leadership of Political Commissar Han, we studied the modern economic situation of our country in detail, and also consulted relevant statistical data. It turned out that most of the tin mines were It was exported through Shanghai, so we came to Shanghai in the name of Zhang’s Mining Company, looking for tin mines to buy, and when we came here to take a look, we not only found tin mines, but also found a lot of valuable things.”

Lin Yuan asked: "What did you find?"

Fade Chen pretended to be deep and said: "War metal!"

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, and said, "Don't be a fool, return war metal, just say what it is."

Fade Chen said: "After we came here, we discovered three kinds of ores. One is the tin ore we need, the other is antimony ore, and the remaining one is the famous tungsten ore."

Chen Fei went on to say: "We specifically asked Mr. Liu, a metallurgical expert, about the uses of antimony and tungsten. Mr. Liu clapped his hands happily when he heard that we had obtained these two metals! Let's talk about tungsten first. my country has always been the largest producer of tungsten ore. The main production area, in our era, the output ranks first in the world."

"Originally, the discovery of tungsten ore in this era had to wait until 1908, but now the British have begun to buy it in large quantities. Our guess is this: because the British need to develop new weapons, they need this kind of metal that can make hard alloys , so they searched for related ores all over the world, so they found them in China and started buying them immediately.”

"I believe you are familiar with tungsten alloys. In our era, almost all high-performance armor-piercing projectiles use tungsten alloys without exception, and in the rolling process of metals, that is, when we roll steel rails now, very hard tungsten alloys are required. For metal rolls, Mr. Liu said, with tungsten alloys, our rail rolling speed can go up to a higher level.”

Lin Yuan asked: "Can I not know the use of tungsten? Can you tell me what is the function of antimony?"

Chen Fei said: "We also consulted Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu said that because of the special physical and chemical properties, antimony can be smelted together with lead to form a lead-antimony alloy. This alloy is much harder than lead alone, so it has a wide range of uses. , in our era, this alloy was first invented by the British. They invented this alloy to be used as a warhead for bullets, so this alloy is called 'war metal', but it can be used for us. It has a magical effect that foreign devils don’t know about.”
