Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Shen Wanqing asked: "Is there any way to make the Russians compromise as soon as possible?"

Lin Yuan said: "The Russians are now tied with the European powers. If we can break their alliance, the Russians will definitely submit to us. Even if they don't submit to us, they will not be like this now. Strong."

Shen Wanqing asked: "But what can we do to break up their alliance?"

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly, and said: "This is exactly what I think about day and night, and I have no good solution."

Shen Wanqing said: "I don't think it's better than this. Let's gather everyone together and hold a discussion meeting to let everyone think of a way. What do you think?"

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think it's better not to do this. If too many people know about this matter, the news will definitely leak and spread to the Russians, and they will definitely come up with some new tricks."

Shen Wanqing nodded, and Lin Yuan took everyone back to the hotel. When everyone in the hotel heard about Lin Yuan's performance during the negotiation today, they all danced with joy and said, "Our handsome Lin is really good. It's cleaned up, we have to celebrate!"

After two victories in a row, Lin Yuan didn't want to dampen everyone's happiness, so he said: "Tonight we will have a party, everyone prepare a lot of wine and food, and have a good time."

Wang Genbao and other chefs began to prepare food and drinks, and the party began at dinner time. Everyone was talking and laughing, and everyone was still in high spirits after ten o'clock in the evening. At this time, Prime Minister Cecil's special envoy came to Lin Yuan, this special envoy It was the one who told Lin Yuan that Queen Victoria had gone to the southern port city last time.

As soon as the special envoy saw Lin Yuan, he handed him an invitation card. The strange thing was: this invitation card only had an invitation from Queen Victoria on it, but there was no specific content of the invitation. Lin Yuan was very strange and asked: "What is on this invitation card Why don't you write down what you invited me to do?"

The special envoy said: "The specifics of what to do must be kept secret. You are ready to prepare, and we will set off the day after tomorrow. Not only you, but also the ministers of various countries stationed in the UK have been invited."

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, I understand, but you should tell me where we are going, right?"

The envoy smiled slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you last time? We are going to a port city in the south of the British Empire——Plymouth!"

"What did you say? Plymouth!" Lin Yuan couldn't help shouting in surprise.

The envoy laughed and said, "That's right, it's Plymouth. Is there anything strange?"

Lin Yuan shook his head lightly and said, "No, no..."

The special envoy didn't say much, so he left. As soon as the special envoy left, Shen Wanqing walked in and asked Lin Yuan, "Have you finished talking with that special envoy? The people below are still waiting for you to sing."

Lin Yuan said: "The Queen of England invited me to a place, but she didn't tell me what to do."

When Shen Wanqing heard what Lin Yuan said, she covered her mouth with a smirk and said, "So that's the case. This means that the Queen likes you and wants you to have a tryst with her!"

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Queen Victoria is almost [-] this year, how could she have such thoughts! And what surprised me the most was the place that invited me to - Plymouth!"

Shen Wanqing asked: "Plymouth, is there anything special about this place?"

Lin Yuan said solemnly: "This is the shipbuilding base and naval base of the British Navy. In our era, this is the UK's important nuclear submarine, conventional submarine manufacturing and repair base, so I suspect that Queen Victoria invited me to go, definitely It's about the navy."

Shen Wanqing smiled and said: "Then you should be happy. Isn't the main purpose of your trip to Europe this time to find out the development of the European powers? Let's go, don't stay here alone, the party Still waiting for you."

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Actually, I sing really badly..."

On the second day, Lin Yuan took Shen Wanqing and Xu Jingcheng to set off, accompanied by the British Prime Minister, to Plymouth, a port city in the south of England, and took an express train. It took less than a day, Lin Yuan They arrived in Plymouth. As soon as they arrived in Plymouth, someone informed Lin Yuan that Queen Victoria would entertain the envoys from various countries at the Royal Navy Hotel in Plymouth.

Lin Yuan and the three got up and came to the Royal Navy Hotel. In the banquet hall, the three met Queen Victoria. At this time, Queen Victoria was 77 years old, but she was still in good health. According to the British arrangement, each The country's envoys only had 10 minutes to talk to the queen, and Lin Yuan was arranged at the end.

Lin Yuan watched the envoys go up to talk to the Queen, and said to Shen Wanqing: "Did you know that Queen Victoria is called the 'grandmother of Europe', and the current German Emperor Wilhelm II is her grandson, Russian Tsar Nicholas Raja II is his grandson-in-law, and the Spanish royal family and the Swedish royal family are inextricably linked with them..."

Lin Yuan told Shen Wanqing about the interesting relationship between European royal families, and soon he was going to meet Queen Victoria. Lin Yuan stepped forward, and after the two parties saluted, Queen Victoria first said: "I heard that France has agreed to return China. Cultural relics? I think our British Empire should do the same."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Britain is the country that has robbed the most Chinese cultural relics, and France can only rank second. I still have to find an opportunity to raise this matter. Since you brought it up, it would be the best." So Lin Yuan said : "Yes, those cultural relics are the treasures of our China. I hope your country can return them to us."

Queen Victoria smiled and said: "Very well, I will return some of the cultural relics collected by the royal family to you first, and there are some museums in various places, so you need to find them yourself."

Lin Yuan smiled and agreed, and then asked, "I don't know why Her Majesty asked us to come here?"

Victoria heard Lin Yuan's question, turned around and said to the maid next to her, "Let me just say it, Mr. Lin Yuan will definitely ask this question too, I want to keep some mystery for you, and you will know it tomorrow .”

Lin Yuan said a few more gossips, and the Prime Minister next to him said: "Her Majesty is getting old and needs to go back to rest. Please forgive me, Mr. Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, and then returned to his seat. The dinner was not very interesting. Lin Yuan was a stranger to the envoys from other countries and did not talk much. As a result, Lin Yuan tasted all kinds of delicacies.

By the next day, the answer to the mystery was finally revealed.Under the arrangement of the British side, Lin Yuan got into the car, and no one told him where he was going. After about ten minutes, Lin Yuan heard the friendly and familiar sound of waves coming from the car window, and the clear and crisp sound of seagulls. tweet.

At this moment, the car stopped, and the servant opened the car door for Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan looked around, and saw warships moored on the sea in the distance, and a large factory building stood nearby. The Prime Minister said to the crowd: "This is the most important purpose of our trip, to participate in the launching ceremony of the new ship at the Royal Naval Dockyard in Plymouth!"
