Expedition to Europe
Chapter 905 Threat of War
As a warship, it is normal to ask for an inspection of a civilian ship, but it is a bit unreasonable to use weapons, not to mention firing, which is already a hostile act.
At the moment when the US warship fired, there was indeed a moment of chaos in the bridge of the "Sea Pearl", but the words of Captain Fu Jianhua gave everyone another reassurance: "Hold on, there is one of our warships nearby, rushing at full speed, these Americans will not succeed!"
Own warship!
To be honest, although the Lan Fang soldiers have a relatively high status in Lan Fang, the people in the bridge have never felt the loveliness of the Lan Fang soldiers as much as now.
"Move, move, no matter what, we can't let those Americans board the ship, move immediately--" Ultraman was also nervous, success was within reach, even if he risked his life, he couldn't fail.
Just when everyone in the bridge was ready to fight to the death, Nikola Tesla came to the bridge along the safety passage.
"Gentlemen, if it is because of me that these hundreds of civilians are in danger, then please hand me over." Nikola Tesla's expression was calm, as if he did not realize what kind of situation he would face if he was handed over.
Although the wanted order issued by Washington did not specify how to deal with Nikola Tesla, all those involved in the search received verbal orders: to see him alive or dead.
How cruel!
But this is the consistent virtue of Americans.
What I can't get, no one else can get!
Ultraman obviously didn't think so. The order Ultraman and his team received was also very clear. As long as there was a Lan Fang agent alive, Nikola Tesla's safety must be guaranteed.
As for the shelling of the US warships, don't pay attention to this. The "Pearl of the Sea" is a civilian ship. The American shelling is only a deterrent. No matter what the reason is, as long as the Americans dare to shell civilian ships, it is equivalent to the Americans declaring war on Lan Fang.
That's right, the "Pearl of the Sea" is a ship registered in the Republic of China, but the Beiyang government of the Republic of China had signed an alliance agreement with Lan Fang in 1920. This agreement cannot be broken by the British and Americans. The Republic of China and Lan Fang are truly of the same lineage, and no one can break this blood relationship.
So Ultraman's answer was particularly tough: "Mr. Nikola, don't worry, please go back to your room. This is our job scope, and we can absolutely guarantee your safety."
In front of Nikola Tesla, Ultraman did not mention fighting to the last moment. There was no need to act so tragically. Lan Fang had already proved his sincerity to Nikola Tesla.
"Mr. Ultraman, I am very grateful to you and your colleagues for everything you have done for me. Since some things are irreversible, let me face it all." Nikola Tesla did not want to implicate too many people.
Nikola Tesla may not have a noble personality, but he has a basic bottom line. Nikola Tesla is now certain that Ultraman is not a staff member of the Lan Fang Imperial University, but should belong to the Lan Fang military. Nikola Tesla is very grateful for everything Lan Fang has done for him, which proves that the Lan Fang government and the Lan Fang military value Nikola Tesla, and perhaps also the legendary Lan Fang King, which objectively proves the value of Nikola Tesla.
To be honest, Nikola Tesla is very interested in the legendary Lan Fang King. The Lan Fang King is the founder of Lan Fang and the leader of Lan Fang's science and technology. Nikola Tesla is particularly interested in the latter identity. In Nikola Tesla's view, it is not difficult to establish a country. After all, there are so many countries in the world, but it is not easy to become a leader in science and technology. The human population is as many as billions, but there are only a few people at the top of the science and technology pyramid.
If possible, Nikola Tesla would like to talk to the Lan Fang King in person. It would be a very interesting thing. Nikola Tesla is sure that he and the Lan Fang King will find a lot of common language.
However, there are always many regrets in this world, which is part of life. At Nikola Tesla's age, he has completely understood this truth.
"Please believe me, Mr. Nikola, it is not irreparable. The Lan Fang military is more determined than you expected, and the American warship is not as firm as you see." Ultraman was unmoved.
In fact, while Nikola Tesla was talking to Ultraman, the American warship did not stop intimidating.
However, the "Pearl of the Sea" did not respond. The "Pearl of the Sea" has been using a loudspeaker to declare its course and rights, and demanded that the American warship stop harassing immediately.
While the "Pearl of the Sea" was shouting, the passengers on the "Pearl of the Sea" also knew what was going on. There were gunshots and cannons, and no one could sit still in the cabin. There were Chinese and Westerners among the passengers on the "Pearl of the Sea". Because of their weak position in the United States, the Chinese may still be a little cowardly. Those Westerners were not polite. Many people had already crowded at the railings and gestured to the American warship with their middle fingers and cursed.
It was still a bit far away, so the Americans probably couldn't hear what they were saying, but "showing the middle finger" is an internationally used gesture, and anyone could feel the anger of these passengers.
Perhaps it is precisely because of such a surge of public sentiment that Americans are a little restrained. Otherwise, you think that Americans really value the lives of Chinese people. Don't be ridiculous. The United States is the only country in the world that has legislated to implement racial discrimination against Chinese people. The "Chinese Exclusion Act" is destined to become a stain that the United States can never erase. No matter when, as long as Americans talk about "democracy" and "freedom" in front of Chinese people, they can use this matter to hit Americans in the face, and it will definitely make a "pop" sound.
Just when the American warship opened fire, the "Wei Qing" was fifty nautical miles away from the "Pearl of the Sea".
Fifty nautical miles, this distance is not far. The "Wei Qing" is already moving at full speed. At most one and a half hours, the "Wei Qing" will become the protector of the "Pearl of the Sea".
Considering that the "Pearl of the Sea" is still moving forward, it will take less than an hour and a half.
Qin Zhiyuan was already anxious. When he learned from the telegram sent by the "Pearl of the Sea" that the American warship had opened fire, Qin Zhiyuan clearly felt the blood boiling and his eyes were a little swollen.
Well, to describe it in a more cultural way, it's called "eyes splitting".
"Send a clear message. If the US military dares to fire at civilian ships, we will regard this behavior as an act of war. If anything happens to the 'Pearl of the Sea', Lan Fang will fight the United States to the death!" Qin Zhiyuan brazenly issued a war threat.
This is the advantage of "dictatorship". If you want to go to war with you, all you need to do is say a word from the boss. Congress?
The role of Congress is to implement Qin Zhiyuan's decision after he makes the decision to go to war, and how to mobilize the power of the whole society to win the war. There is no other choice.
The original text is in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!
Qin Zhiyuan knew very well that if this clear message was sent, it would definitely lead to a serious setback in the relationship between Lan Fang and the United States, but Qin Zhiyuan had no choice.
After Qin Zhiyuan made the decision to bring Nikola Tesla to Lan Fang, Lu Zhengxiang once asked Qin Zhiyuan whether it was worth it?
Worth it or not, this is a good question.
From the perspective of the country, it is not worth the loss to make such a big fuss for this old man who is already over 70 years old, because it will definitely anger the Americans, and the United States is currently the most powerful country in the world. It seems irrational for Nikola Tesla to anger the Americans.
But from the perspective of scientific and technological development, it is worth doing anything for Nikola Tesla!
Before the 21st century, the scientific and technological development of the Republic was attributed to the collective strength. In fact, it was only in the 21st century that people knew that there were so many "fathers of so-and-so" in the Republic after many archives were made public after the confidentiality period.
Qin Zhiyuan has always believed that the development of science and technology mainly depends on the leadership of the leaders, and it has little to do with those ordinary researchers. It is difficult to find a three-legged frog, but there are many people with two legs. If this batch of ordinary researchers is not good, you can change another batch, but how many Nikola Teslas are there?
There is only one!
Qin Zhiyuan has a lot of things in his mind that Lan Fang urgently needs, such as military walkie-talkies, jets, missiles, nuclear weapons, military satellites, etc., such as civilian mobile phones, computers, LCD TVs, high-speed rail, etc., etc. These things require manpower to achieve. If there is no external interference, with the advancement of technology, these things will indeed become a reality in the next few decades, but Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want this. Qin Zhiyuan wants Lan Fang to lead all this. Qin Zhiyuan wants Lan Fang to replace the United States as the future superpower, which certainly cannot be done step by step.
Nikola Tesla is not a god. Even if Nikola Tesla is brought in, these things cannot be done immediately, but Nikola Tesla is a symbol, just like the horse bones that cost a thousand gold to buy. Qin Zhiyuan wants this attitude, an attitude of how far Lan Fang can go for human talents.
With this attitude, are you still afraid that there will be no talents to take the initiative to join Lan Fang?
The period from now to the next twenty years is a critical stage. What Qin Zhiyuan has to do is to compete with the United States. As long as the United States cannot plunder a large number of talents from all over the world as it did in the past history, Qin Zhiyuan will be able to defeat the United States and become the only superpower in the future.
In this way, what is a war threat?
Even if it is a little bit too much, it is okay!
