Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Cui Xue said in surprise: "So that's the case! But, haven't you thought about it? What if I endured those tortures?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You won't, you once told me that you are not afraid of death but pain, and I asked that woman to find out about your situation, so I conclude that you can't stand it in front of the Russians." , will definitely tell the truth about the matter.” After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he said apologetically, “Cuixue, I’m really sorry for making you suffer, but Qingshi will remember you.”

When Cui Xue heard this, she stood up suddenly, threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms like a frightened bird, and cried while crying: "I don't want it to remember me, I don't want to do big things anymore, it's so uncomfortable, It's so scary..." After finishing speaking, she fell into Lin Yuan's arms, sobbing, Lin Yuan stroked her back, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't cry, it's all over."

After a while, Cui Xue stopped crying, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I have arranged for you to return to Fengtian, there is our best hospital there, and it will definitely cure your illness." Lin Yuan Looking at Zhang Keshi, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, please escort Cuixue there."

Zhang Keshi listened, and nodded with a smile. Cui Xue looked at Lin Yuan intently for a while, trying to say what was in her heart, but she swallowed the words again, and said silently: "Shuai Lin, let's go now." .”

Lin Yuan saw them off with a smile. At this moment, someone suddenly came to report: The new British ambassador came to Hailanpao in person, hoping to meet Lin Shuai!

Lin Yuan couldn't help being shocked when he heard the news, and thought to himself: "It stands to reason that it is normal for a third country to mediate for a belligerent country, but it is unusual for a third country's envoy to come to the battlefield in person. I don't know if this trusted ambassador is coming do what."

Lin Yuan then ordered his subordinates to let the British ambassador in. After entering, the British ambassador first smiled and said, "I am the trusted ambassador of the British Empire to China, Michael Jonas. Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Governor."

Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Show me the government documents of the British Empire first, I must make sure that you are the British ambassador!"

Jonas smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "I have heard that Governor Lin is careful in his work, and I saw him today." After speaking, Jonas took out a carefully printed piece of paper from the bag in his hand , handed it to Lin Yuan, and said with a smile: "This is the credential of the British Empire, please read it."

Lin Yuan took the letter of credence, and saw it said: Duke Michael Jonas is now appointed as the ambassador to the Qing Empire, and hope that the two countries will be reconciled forever.Signed: Alexandra Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Queen of India.Lin Yuan looked at the curly signature and the British official seal, and thought in his heart: "There should be nothing wrong."

Lin Yuan sat back on the chair, pointed to the chair in front of him, and said with a smile, "Please sit down, the battle in the army is undecided, and there is nothing to entertain you."

Jonas smiled and said, "It's okay. Governor Lin's recent series of military actions shocked the whole world, you don't know about it?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "We Chinese have regained the territory of our ancestors. Why should others be shocked?" Jonas nodded, took out another official letter, and said, "This is the Emperor Nicholas II of the Russian Empire who asked me to It was given to you, and it stated that as long as Governor Lin does not capture Blagoveshchensk, he is willing to negotiate with the Qing Empire."

Lin Yuan didn't accept the official letter, but said with a smile, "But I've already sealed this place."

Jonas said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to negotiate, we will discuss these matters later. If you are willing to negotiate, our British Empire is willing to arrange a negotiation venue."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I will follow the ambassador's arrangement."

Jonas asked again: "There are many rumors about you from the outside world, so I am also representing the British government. I hope to know, after you captured Blagoveshchensk, will you continue to attack Russia?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "This issue is related to our military secrets, please forgive me for not having any comment."

Jonas nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, I won't ask. Let's stop here about the Russians. Next, I want to discuss with you about our joint factory and mine in the Northeast."

Lin Yuan said: "Oh, so that's the case, do you have any good projects?"

Jonas said: "After our survey, a large-scale aluminum mine was discovered in the mountains near Fengtian. Our Consul General of Fengtian Consulate has already told you, do you remember?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I remember? What's wrong?"

Jonas said: "After our preliminary investigation, it has been confirmed that a factory can be built nearby, but there are still many things that need the cooperation of Governor Lin!"

Lin Yuan said, "Please speak directly."

Jonas took out a blueprint from his briefcase and said with a smile: "Look, this is our factory plan. The factory will be located on the railway line from Yingkou Port to Fengtian, and our equipment can be transported from Yingkou Port. , Producing aluminum requires a lot of electricity, and power generation requires a lot of coal, and here, coal can be transported from Benxi and other places, so we want the right to use this land."

Lin Yuan glanced at the equipment, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. In the current industry, the only way to produce aluminum is electrolytic alumina and cryolite molten salt. Therefore, it is first necessary to convert bauxite ore into alumina, and then combine The cryolite is put into the electrolytic tank together. These devices are quite troublesome to manufacture, but the British shipped them all.

Lin Yuan looked at the land area and calculated it in his heart. The area of ​​the entire factory area is about [-] hectares. Calculated in this way, it is about the area of ​​arable land of several thousand households. Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You mean , Let me mobilize these villagers to leave?"

Jonas said with a smile: "Exactly, I also know some Chinese culture, and I also know that the Chinese people resettle their homes, so it is indeed a difficult thing for ordinary people to move. Coupled with the common xenophobia of human beings, if we go to Persuading ordinary people to move will definitely cause a lot of conflicts, and it will be difficult to control what happens at that time."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "However, you have to pay the money."

Jonas smiled mysteriously and said, "Shuai Lin, it's very convenient for you. We are willing to give you 100 million pounds as a reward."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Take this trick with me again, but it's okay, then I will accept it." Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will thank you for not being sensitive." Jonas said again: "I came here this time mainly for the above-mentioned things. As for how to distribute the income generated by the aluminum factory, we will talk about it later."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I have tampered with the color chart you are testing ore with. With your current technical level, there is no way to produce aluminum. Sooner or later, this factory will be mine, and all the profits will be given to me. You have nothing to do with it." So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, we'll talk about this matter later."

Jonas said: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

Lin Yuan said: "Don't leave, I still have one very important thing to ask Mr. Ambassador."
