367 The Cotton Clothes Are Destroyed

Kozak looked at Lin Yuan coldly and said, "What do you want to give me?"

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, and recited a poem in Russian with a lyrical tone. It was the representative work of the greatest Russian national poet Pushkin, a line in "If Life Deceives You": "My heart always yearns for the future, But now I am often melancholy." This poem is used to describe Kozak's current mood is really ingenious, and among the reporters, a few people who know Russian can't help but laugh out loud.

Kozak's face was livid with anger, and he sneered, "I hope you will still be in the mood to recite this poem when the gunfire of the Pacific Fleet rang out in Tanggu."

After finishing speaking, Kozak walked away, and Lin Yuan said from behind: "Mr. Ambassador, don't leave, there will be a reporter's questioning session later."

Kozak ignored him, opened the door and walked straight away. Lin Yuan turned his head, looked at the reporters present, and said, "Do you have any questions?"

A British reporter raised his hand and asked, "You just said that the war that took place was unpleasant during the investigation. Then we want to ask, is the investigation over? What are the results? Can it be announced to the public?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's over or not. You heard it just now. The war has already begun."

Another French reporter asked: "Will your army attack Russian territory?"

Lin Yuan shrugged and said with a smile, "It's about military secrets, so I have nothing to say."

A few more reporters asked questions, and Lin Yuan announced the end of the meeting. Shen Wanqing mingled with the reporters, and didn't come over until everyone else left and asked, "I haven't figured it out yet. Why did you deliberately provoke that Russian ambassador?" Lin Yuan smiled and said: "In this way, you can write about how arrogant the Russians are, and the common people will support us even more. Isn't it much more useful than negotiating with one eye? Also, after such a confrontation, I believe that foreign journalists The impression of me will increase a lot, and it will be much more convenient to do some things in the future." Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "I think you used a photo to completely irritate Kozak. What is in that photo? ah?"

Lin Yuan took out the photo, handed it to Shen Wanqing, and said, "Look, the corpse lying on this photo is the head of the Russian Iron Blood Corps, Sergey Sedar, Kozak saw He was killed, and with the regiment flag I showed, I believed that the Iron Blood Corps was wiped out."

Shen Wanqing asked: "Didn't the Russians say that their Pacific Fleet is going to attack Tanggu? Tanggu is the gateway to Tianjin, and Tianjin is the gateway to Beijing. During the Second Opium War, the British and French allied forces attacked from this route." Entering Beijing and burning down the Old Summer Palace, how are we going to deal with the Pacific Fleet?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "They can't get through."

Shen Wanqing asked, "Why can't they come?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "They are based in Vladivostok, where the freezing period is from December to March of the next year, but this year is very special, the freezing period has been advanced two times. In January, the Russian warships want to come and attack us, we must first defeat the ice.”

Shen Wanqing smiled, and then said: "After research, we decided to establish a news agency for the Kanto News in Fengtian."

Lin Yuan said: "Very good, but the address must be chosen well, you will definitely be 'bombed' by foreign spies." Shen Wanqing said: "We have thought about this problem a long time ago, the location has already been chosen, and we are far away from home. Our industrial area is very close, so we can also counter espionage by the way."

Lin Yuan nodded. At this moment, Master ran in in a panic and said, "My lord, go and have a look, there is someone outside who wants to see you."

Lin Yuan asked, "What happened, that you are so flustered?"

The master said: "It's the person who came here. He said that what he wants to report is very important, and it concerns the lives and deaths of thousands of people. Otherwise, I won't panic."

Lin Yuan said to Shen Wanqing: "Let's go together and see what's going on."

Lin Yuan asked Shen Wanqing to listen in the room next to the living room, and came to the living room by himself. There was already a person standing in the living room. When Lin Yuan saw it, this person was not an outsider, but was assigned by Lin Yuan to transport him. Wang Datie of supplies.

Although the railway has been repaired, manpower and animal power are still indispensable in the process of transporting materials, because the railway can only transport materials to large sites, and materials still need people to transport materials from large sites to the army. Wang Datie is in charge of this matter. He led Leading the transport team to deliver supplies for the troops conscientiously, providing a strong guarantee for the victory of each battle.

Wang Datie was scratching his head anxiously in the living room at this time, seeing Lin Yuan walking in, he quickly said: "My lord, something is wrong." Lin Yuan quickly asked: "What happened?"

When Wang Datie was questioned by Lin Yuan, a tall and thick man actually shed tears. Seeing this, Lin Yuan burst out laughing and said, "Why are you crying like a little girl?"

Wang Datie said quickly: "The warehouse, the warehouse for the cotton clothes, is flooded, and the cotton clothes to be transported to the front line are gone."

"Zooshui" means fire. The ancients believed that fire was the presence of the god of fire. If you say fire, the god of fire will think you are calling him when he hears the word "fire", so he will not leave, and the fire will not be extinguished. So everyone didn't talk about the fire, but the opposite: the water.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan said in surprise, "What did you say! Is it on fire? It's all right, how could it be on fire?"

Wang Datie said: "I am also puzzled. I know that cotton clothes are easy to burn, so there is no spark around the warehouse. The people guarding the warehouse are carefully selected by me, and no one who has ever smoked is wanted!"

Lin Yuan quickly asked, "How many cotton coats were burned?"

Wang Datie said: "Warehouse No. [-] was burned. There were [-] sets of cotton clothes and trousers in it. All of them were burned down, and there was not a single piece left."

After Wang Datie finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee and said: "The villain has failed Lin Shuai's trust, please punish Lin Shuai severely!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. The most important thing is to find out the cause of the fire and prevent fires in other warehouses."

Wang Datie said: "I have already called Li Butou, the most experienced man in Fengtian Prefecture, to find out the cause of the fire. I will correct it after I find out."

Lin Yuan said, "Don't worry, let's go and have a look."

At this moment, when the door of the nearby room opened, Shen Wanqing came out and said, "I'll go with you." When Wang Datie saw Shen Wanqing, he quickly said, "Miss Shen, you can't take this If this matter is written in the newspaper, it will shake the morale of the army."

Both Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing were shocked. They didn't expect Wang Datie to think so far. When the three arrived at the burning warehouse, they saw smoke rising from the ruins from a distance. When they got closer, they saw dozens of people. The policemen were busy going in and out of the warehouse, and there were many spectators standing around.

This warehouse was built by Lin Yuan according to the standards of modern military warehouses. The pillars are made of steel bars, and mud is poured inside and outside. Under Lin Yuan's guidance, the main composition of the mud is not much different from modern cement, and it is extremely flame-resistant. , so the fire did not damage the pillars at all, and the ceiling was also made of steel bars covered with heat-resistant materials, so although the cotton clothes inside were burned out, the warehouse remained intact.

When Lin Yuan walked to the door, he saw an old policeman standing at the door, clasped his fists in salute, and said, "Master Lin, the cause of the fire has been found out."
