Hixon had already left Lin Yuan with the impression that he was not easy to get along with, so Lin Yuan couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw him stretch out his hand, so he hesitated for a while. Seeing his hesitation, Hixon stretched out his hand and patted his own. On the left cheek, he said: "In 1864, in the Port of Charleston, USA, I was the gunnery chief of the Confederate ironclad ship 'Tennessee'. A shrapnel from the Northern Army wounded my head. Since then, my left cheek has been unable to move. , so my smile became like this."

Lin Yuan looked at Hixon in front of him and thought in surprise: "He actually participated in the Civil War! In 1864, the Northern Army in the American Civil War attacked Charleston Harbor and defeated the Southern Army's fleet here. But Hixon is British, how did he get to America?"

Lin Yuan thought about it, and then realized that Hixon's hand was still in the air, so he stretched out his hand, shook him lightly, and asked, "Why did you go to participate in the Civil War?"

Hixon spread his hands and said with a smile: "For faith! Some people in the world should be ruled by others. They are natural slaves, so I fight for faith!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that this Hixon is still a supporter of slavery, but this has nothing to do with me. There are so many people here, why does he only talk to me?" So Lin Yuan asked: " Why do you just shake hands with me?"

Hixon said with a smile: "I can see that among these people, you are someone who really understands the navy. I hope we can make a friend."

Lin Yuan quickly said: "Great, that's really what I wish for, can I go to your warship and have a look?"

Hixon shook his head and said with a smile, "No way!"

Lin Yuan wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the internal situation of the warship, so he asked, "Is it okay to be accompanied by you?"

Hixon still shook his head, and Lin Yuan asked jokingly, "But aren't we friends?"

Hixon said: "That's right, we are friends. If you are free, I can take you to the Naval Officer's Club when you go ashore. The most beautiful dancers in it are very familiar with me..."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan silently turned back to look at Shen Wanqing, Shen Wanqing was listening to their conversation with ears pricked up, and happened to meet Lin Yuan's eyes, she smiled charmingly at Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan Hastily said to Hixon: "Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need."

Xixon looked at Shen Wanqing, smiled and said, "It's good to be accompanied by a beautiful woman, no wonder you wanted to speak for her just now."

After Hixon finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the command position, and said, "Return!"

When Lin Yuan heard that he was going to return to the voyage, he hurriedly asked, "Aren't we going to test other things today? For example, torpedoes..."

Hixon's words are still so concise and powerful: "No!"

The dreadnought turned around slowly in the water and started to head towards the pier where it came. On the way, Shen Wanqing asked Lin Yuan: "You haven't told me why you asked me to ask that question?"

Lin Yuan said: "That's because I want to see a very important performance of a warship - the turning performance, but it keeps going in a straight line when sailing, and I can't see it even if I want to, so I let you talk about it, I hope It can make him turn, but if he turns slowly, it will have no effect, so let him turn as soon as possible, only when he turns as soon as possible, can he see what the minimum turning radius of the warship is."

The two were talking, and the warship soon berthed at the pier when they set off. When everyone disembarked, the British diplomat announced: "This is the end of our visit. Everyone is free to move here today. Tomorrow we will Return to London."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but felt a burst of regret, thinking: "I was expecting to read more content, but I didn't expect to finish after watching such a few things. It's really a pity."

Shen Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Actually, we can do some reconnaissance secretly! They will definitely store a lot of technical materials in the shipyard. With our ability, it shouldn't be a big problem to steal them out."

Lin Yuan frowned, and said solemnly: "No, absolutely not. That would be too dangerous. We are the targets of the big powers. If we are caught stealing information, we will be in trouble."

Shen Wanqing nodded and said, "Okay then, we'll talk about this matter later."

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Although we can't steal information, we can do other things. For example, we can go around the naval base and take a look, maybe we can get some information."

Shen Wanqing said suspiciously: "Just for a while? What kind of information can I get?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "A layman can't get information, but an insider is different. An insider can deduce a lot of useful information from it as long as he listens to a sentence or a sentence. Half a minute to prepare 'Do you know the rate of fire of their artillery? Let's go to the bars and restaurants outside the military port, and we can collect a lot of useful information there."

Shen Wanqing said: "Okay then, let's go."

Lin Yuan said: "It's better for us to dress up as Europeans so that we won't attract attention."

Shen Wanqing said helplessly: "No, I left all the disguised things in London, and now we can't change them up."

Lin Yuan said: "Then we won't disguise ourselves, we'll just go like this. Anyway, we are diplomats, and they can't do anything to us."

Shen Wanqing nodded, took out a small square the size of a fingernail, and said, "This is a miniature bug. When we get to a bar or a restaurant, we will install this thing next to the person who wants to bug, and then You can get a lot of information.”

The two of them came out of the hotel and came to the street. After walking a few steps, Shen Wanqing suddenly stopped, squatted down, untied the shoelaces, and tied them again. Lin Yuan squatted down and laughed. He asked her, "Why do you untie your shoelaces and tie them again?"

Shen Wanqing said in a low voice: "Someone is following us..." Lin Yuan instinctively looked back when he heard this, Shen Wanqing pulled him and said, "Don't look back! It's the man in the gray and black suit at the back who beat us He has been following us since we came out of the hotel.”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Who would send this person?"

Without even thinking about it, Shen Wanqing said directly: "Need to say? It must be Russian, Giles."

Lin Yuan asked: "Then what is he going to do with me? Is he going to assassinate me?" At this moment, Lin Yuan didn't know that the target of the Russians was actually Shen Wanqing and not him. What the Russians didn't know was: In terms of individual combat ability, Shen Wanqing is actually better than Lin Yuan.

Shen Wanqing said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. With Giles' method, it is not impossible to assassinate you, so we have to guard against it. Let's go back today."

Lin Yuan said: "When we came out of the hotel, we did create an opportunity for the Russians to strike. It's better to go back."

The two of them went to the hotel. The follower saw him and hid in despair. When he entered the hotel gate, Lin Yuan suddenly said, "I thought of a good way!"
