Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan said: "What? Something big happened?" While talking, he picked up the call log, glanced at it, and found that it contained paragraphs of conversations, and the strange thing was that there were no names marked in front of the conversations.

Lin Yuan pointed to the first conversation and asked, "Why didn't you write your name when you recorded the conversation?"

Shen Wanqing said helplessly: "Do you think I am a god? You can hear the speaker's name from the conversation! When they talk, sometimes they use nicknames, sometimes they use official titles, and the callers are very There are so many, we have no informants inside the Russian embassy, ​​how could we know who the speakers are!"

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, then looked at the content of those conversations, and said while reading: "It's all about where to eat and which attractions to visit. Now that negotiations are imminent, the Russian embassy should be very busy. Why? Are the people in there so carefree?"

Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "They must have made up their minds, so they eat and play everywhere."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Am I such a waste? Let them be so contemptuous!" He looked at those conversations, thought for a while silently, and then said: "I understand the intention of the Russians!"

Shen Wanqing hurriedly asked: "Tell me quickly, what kind of conspiracy did the Russians come up with?"

Lin Yuan said: "If I'm not wrong, the Russians are taking the opportunity of eating and playing to meet with personnel from embassies of various countries to discuss joint dealings with us."

Shen Wanqing asked, "How did you find out?"

Lin Yuan said: "It's actually very simple. Look at the embassies of which countries the Russians are looking for? The United States, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, Italy, and Japan. These countries are basically the countries that formed the Eight-Power Allied Forces back then. , These countries have signed unequal treaties with our country, and the Russians must work hard on unequal treaties!"

Shen Wanqing said: "I understand, this is what you often worry about: if we abolish the treaty with Russia, the big powers will also worry that we will abolish the treaty with them, so they will unite against us!"

Lin Yuan nodded, and said: "That's right, it's like this, this is a situation I don't want to see!" Shen Wanqing nodded silently, and Lin Yuan continued: "If my guess is right, the newspaper will soon There will be reports like this! Two days later will be the first round of formal negotiations, and they will definitely create momentum for the negotiations!"

Lin Yuan's guess was right. In the next few days, the analysis of the prospect of Sino-Russian negotiations has taken up quite a lot of space in the newspapers, and the enthusiasm of the people seems to be focused on whether Lin Yuan will abolish the agreement signed between China and foreign countries. All kinds of treaties and newspapers are full of information released by the Russians. Lin Yuan is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in terms of information promotion, but Lin Yuan is not too worried, and he is confident that he will reverse the final negotiation in one fell swoop!

Finally, the day of the first round of negotiations came. The negotiations were held in the conference hall of Buckingham Palace. As the mediator, Britain was naturally responsible for the venue of the negotiations.After preparations, Lin Yuan took Xu Jingcheng and others to Buckingham Palace by car.

Buckingham Palace was first built in 1702. It was just an ordinary residence at first, and it became more and more luxurious under the repairs of successive British emperors.The main body of Buckingham Palace is surrounded by iron fences. Outside the iron fence, there is a square facing the main building of the palace. On the square stands the statue of Queen Victoria. The square is full of various flowers, as if there is a layer of colorful flowers on it. damask.

As soon as Lin Yuan's car got out of the hotel, he saw the streets full of policemen and soldiers with live ammunition.It turned out that after the impact of demonstrations and the assassination of speeches, the British government has strengthened its security work and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

As soon as Lin Yuan's convoy arrived at the square, it was surrounded by reporters. According to the prior arrangement of the British side, reporters from major newspapers were all arranged in Buckingham Palace, including Shen Wanqing, Chinese and Russian envoys Members of the regiment were not interviewed by outside reporters, so Lin Yuan and the others could not get out of the car.

But the reporters had already blocked the way of the car, so the British side could only send more police force to disperse the reporters. This is the first time we have negotiated, and I have never seen such a big scene." While thinking about it, he saw that Xu Jingcheng's eye circles were red again, and Lin Yuan knew that he must be recalling the past, and his mood was hard to calm down, so he ignored him.

The distance from the square to the main entrance of Buckingham Palace was less than 500 meters. The car actually walked for half an hour. Lin Yuan and Xu Jingcheng got out of the car after entering the gate. Reporters on both sides of the road rushed forward and took pictures of Lin Yuan. Looking into the distance, Lin Yuan saw a lot of cars parked at the gate of the palace. Lin Yuan estimated that if it was just the Russian mission, it would definitely not be able to use so many cars.

So Lin Yuan pointed to the cars in the distance and asked the diplomats beside him, "Where are those cars from?"

The diplomat replied: "Those cars belong to the embassies of various countries, such as the United States, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, etc."

Lin Yuan was surprised for a moment, and thought: "It seems that there will be many opponents in today's negotiations!" However, Lin Yuan still had a smile on his face, and followed the British diplomats to the palace, entered it, and A group of reporters came forward to take pictures, among them were Shen Wanqing, Qiu Jin, Wang Tingjun and others who were mixed in the crowd.

At this time, the door of a hall next to it opened, and a dozen people came out, all of whom were well-dressed. The British diplomat beside him hurriedly introduced to Lin Yuan: "These are the ambassadors of various countries to the UK."

Lin Yuan used to shake hands with them one by one. Every time they shook hands, reporters from various countries took photos. What surprised Lin Yuan was: these ambassadors came not only from a few big countries, but also from various small countries, such as Brazil, Chile, Argentina, etc. , Lin Yuan shook hands with them one by one, and then walked into the meeting hall.

The Russian mission was already waiting in the meeting hall. After meeting, the two sides hugged and shook hands, and then sat down separately. After they were seated, reporters poured in from outside the door and stood behind everyone. The spacious meeting hall seemed a bit crowded.

The British Prime Minister Cecil was the first to stand up and speak. He waved his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet, and then said: "War is something we don't want to see. I am very happy that the Russian Empire and the Qing Empire can end under the mediation of our British Empire." War, back to the negotiating table."

"Today, apart from the missions of the Qing Empire and the Russian Empire, there are also the envoys of the United States of America, the French Republic, the German Empire and other countries participating in the negotiations. The reason why they are all invited is because war is the common cause of our mankind. Disaster, we should join hands to defeat it!"

As soon as Cecil finished speaking, everyone applauded loudly, and Lin Yuan also applauded, but he was thinking silently: "What a set of high-sounding rhetoric, you invited them all, isn't it just to put pressure on me? Is it? We are outnumbered, it seems that today's battle is a bit difficult!"
