Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "In this case, the person who came tonight should be my enemy, but who is this person?" So Lin Yuan asked, "Who is this distinguished guest tonight?"

Master hurriedly said: "It's Mr. Yuan Shikai's special envoy. He said he came to Fuzhou Shipping Bureau to inspect the construction of the warship. He just arrived this afternoon. Our lord is going to meet him this afternoon."

Lin Yuan nodded silently when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Since it is Yuan Shikai's person, it makes sense. Yuan Shikai and I have always had a grudge, and the call may be made by this special envoy, but the level of this special envoy is really not good. What's the matter, if he wants to stab me and trip me, he should be in the back, and he can't get off the stage like this face to face."

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "Do you know the name of this special envoy?"

The master shook his head again and again, and said, "After he came, we all called him Mr. Special Envoy. As for his name, no one asked."

Lin Yuan went to the dining table next to him and asked, "You don't know your names? Then why do you put name plates on the table?"

The master smiled and said, "My lord special envoy must sit at the head of the main table. Do you still need to place a name tag?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's fine, since you don't know who he is, then I'll stay and see for myself."

When the master heard this, he knelt down again, and begged: "Master Lin, you can't do it! Our little lives..."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I'll just hide in this room and not go out, the special envoy won't go upstairs and search me room by room."

The master knew that neither the special envoy nor Shuai Lin could be offended, so he had no choice but to agree. Lin Yuan asked the driver to come up and order some good wine and food, and waited for the special envoy to come. After the master went out, he told everyone that Lin Yuan had After leaving, everyone was relieved.

In the evening, he heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the street. Lin Yuan looked out the window to the street, and saw a long line of honor guards coming from a distance, and when they came to the door, they heard the sound of firecrackers. The big sedan chair carried by eight people stopped at the door, and the curtain of the sedan chair was raised, and a tall man in official uniform came out of the sedan chair. Lin Yuan looked at his top hat and thought, "He is a third-rank official, not as good as me." far."

But Lin Yuan looked down from the top of the man's head, so he couldn't see the face clearly. When the man entered the hall, Lin Yuan saw his face clearly through the crack of the door. He was very surprised when he saw it. It turned out that this man was Yuan Shikai. The confidant—Yuan Er, this Yuan Er came out to stop Lin Yuan when he was building the railway, and even beat Lin Yuan with a whip, but Lin Yuan severely punished him.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I treated Yuan Er so badly at the beginning, it's no wonder he didn't hate me, I never thought he would be promoted, it seems that it's all Yuan Shikai's fault, it's really a one-man success! There is Yuan Shikai I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get all the skilled workers from the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau to me if I and Yuan Er are in the way, so what can I do?"

At this moment, only to hear that the bustling hall was suddenly quiet, Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought: "This must be Yuan Er's speech, I will listen carefully to what he will say." Lin Yuan listened quietly. At this moment, I only heard Yuan Er say: "I am here this time to inspect the warship and create the situation on behalf of Master Yuan. When I go back, I will report the results of the inspection to Master Yuan, and Master Yuan will also report the results of the inspection. As a result, report to the Holy One."

Listening to Yuan Er's words, Lin Yuan laughed inwardly and said: "Pause after a few words, look at Yuan Er's official accent!" Then he heard Yuan Er go on to say: "This time I came, I also brought you a piece of paper. A generous gift." As soon as the words came out, everyone listened expectantly, and Lin Yuan also thought to himself: "A generous gift? What a generous gift?"

At this time, I heard Yuan Er say: "Our lord Yuan said that as long as we can build two warships in two months, let our lords show their faces in front of the Holy One, our lords will be rewarded a lot. Please rest assured, everyone. There are rewards."

Everyone cheered, but Lin Yuan thought: "Building two warships in two months? Isn't that too fast? Even if we have mastered advanced technology, it is impossible for us to build two warships so quickly. !"

At this time, I saw a foreigner coming out of the crowd, it was Du Yeer, and he smiled heartily to everyone: "I tell you a good news, most of our warships have been completed, and now only the painted ones are left." It's work, and our workers are working overtime around the clock, I invite you to watch the launching ceremony in a few days!"

Lin Yuan was startled again when he heard this, and thought to himself: "How long has it been since the emperor asked Yuan Shikai to build a warship, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous things in the middle, how can they build a warship so quickly? No. , There must be something tricky in it! What is going on here? I should go to the shipyard to have a look, why not go now, their leaders are here, and no one will pay attention to the shipyard."

Lin Yuan then called the driver on the side, took advantage of the empty time in the hall outside, went down the stairs, slipped out through the back door quietly, and then drove straight to the shipyard, which was still far away. Lin Yuan asked the driver to stop the car, and then said to him: "Park the car, I'll go into the shipyard and have a look, and I'll be back in a while."

One side of the shipyard is close to the sea, and the other side is enclosed by a fence. The fence is very high and has a sharp top. It is not easy to climb over it. Lin Yuan thought: "There must be people inside for such a long fence. It’s easy to get in and out and make a gap, so I will look outside, maybe I can find a gap, and it will be much easier to get in.”

Just as Lin Yuan walked a few steps, he saw a gap in the fence that was wider than a person. Lin Yuan crawled in. This is a warehouse for discarded parts, so there was no one around. When chatting with the guard, Lin Yuan learned that They don't patrol at night, so they walk towards the dock with confidence.

Lin Yuan passed the steel pretreatment workshop, the cutting and welding workshop, and the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, because the factory area was too quiet. If according to what Du Yeer said, the workers were working overtime, the factory area should be very noisy now. ah!Is it true that there is really only the last part of their battleship left?

Thinking in his heart, Lin Yuan came to the dock very soon, but what surprised him was: there was no one patrolling here, only a small light was still on in the room next to it, and an old man inside was already snoring like thunder.

Lin Yuan smiled inwardly, walked through the preparation area, entered the berth, and was surprised when he looked at the slide below. It turned out that there were actually two warships on it, with chimneys, main guns, and auxiliary guns. Lin Yuan thought in surprise Said: "The hull has been built, and the outfitting has also been completed. It seems that the only thing left is the painting!"

Lin Yuan saw that there was no one around, and quietly went down the steps on one side, and came to the side of the battleship. He carefully looked at the hull of the ship under the starlight, and saw that it was painted with silver-gray paint. There was nothing wrong with it, Lin Yuan thought to himself : "The painting on the hull was completed before the outfitting started. If there is any part of this warship that has not been painted, it must be the upper outfitting part, that is, the turret, chimney and so on. part."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan wanted to go up to the warship to have a look. At this moment, he saw a tall wooden frame beside him, so he stepped onto the wooden frame and went up to the ship to take a closer look at the turret. He was so surprised that he almost fell off the shelf.
