Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Muto Motojiro asked curiously: "Then what is this timing?"

Mutsu Munemitsu said helplessly: "I don't know, I really don't know, Lin Yuan's thoughts are too weird, we can't figure it out!"

With Mutsu Munemitsu's words, Muto Genjiro's face was covered with a layer of despair. Mutsu Munemitsu noticed Muto Genjiro's abnormality, and laughed and said: "Don't worry, we will do something in the Qing court and let the Qing court in Lin Before the time that Yuan is waiting for arrives, attack Lin Yuan. At that time, the Qing court and Lin Yuan can only live alone. When I see it, what will Lin Yuan do!"

While Mutsu Munemitsu was talking, he left the barracks with Muto Genjiro, and Lin Yuan arranged the remaining things in the barracks. The first thing was to station troops in Petropavlovsk, where a navy was needed, so Lin Yuan sent the Huofeng ship The He Yazi ship stayed, but fortunately, two new warships were built at the Lushun base, so that the number of ships in the naval fleet would not be stretched.

After the military comes politics and economics. In politics, Lin Yuan established the tsar as the common enemy of the Chinese people and the Russian people, and clearly told the people that the tsar is the root of all evil. Only by overthrowing the tsar can the Russian people be truly saved. Friends of the Russian people, willing to help the Russian people to overthrow the evil tsar and live a happy life.

Lin Yuan also held a themed exhibition in the city called "The Root of All Evil - The Tsar", showing photos of the Tsar's palace and banquets. These photos were taken when Lin Yuan went to Russia. The comparison between the photos of the down-and-out Russian people won great recognition from the Russian people.

Economically, Lin Yuan established several large state-owned fishing grounds to allow local Russian fishermen to continue fishing. At the same time, he also recruited domestic fishermen and businessmen to transport the fish, crabs and other seafood caught by Russian fishermen to the Northeast. , At the same time, it also transported things produced in the Northeast, and dispatched manpower to prepare for the construction of the railway from Vladivostok to Petropavlovsk.

After Lin Yuan made arrangements for these matters, he found Shen Wanqing and asked her what the international community thought about his attack on Petropavlovsk and the isolation operations. Shen Wanqing said: "Russia naturally It is to criticize you severely, and other countries basically have mixed praise and praise, but they also talk about it, there is no actual action, so don’t worry about it, but Japan’s action deserves attention.”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It seems that I have to take a good look at the things that our Shenda reporters are paying attention to."

Shen Wanqing took out a Japanese newspaper, put it in front of Lin Yuan, and said, "Look, this is Japan's "Asahi Shimbun", which uses four pages to introduce the history of friendship between the Yamato and Ainu peoples, and also There were reports about the bear festival, and these reports also appeared in some European and American newspapers."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and smiled: "The little devil is going to fight a public opinion war with us. Well, we will also publish in English newspapers how the Japanese oppressed the Ainu people. We are realistic, and they are random. , They must be inferior to us, not only that, we have to invite foreigners to let them see the situation with their own eyes."

Shen Wanqing asked: "But in what name do we invite them? If it's too direct, it will look artificial, but it's not easy for others to believe."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you still remember what I told you about establishing an international organization? We did it in the name of an international organization. Do you still remember the Swiss paleontologist Sowell who settled in China? He is now His reputation in the world is already very loud, let him bring some colleagues who are engaged in animal research to investigate wild animals on Zhanshou Island and Petropavlovsk."

"When they come, I will follow the trend and create a World Animal Association. Such an association will not attract attention, and it will be convenient to set up other ones in the future. They will not only understand the truth about the Japanese oppression of the Ainu, but also It will allow us to declare our sovereignty over Petropavlovsk and Shumshu Island, and Russia and Japan will have to obey."

Shen Wanqing chuckled, and said, "I'll make the arrangements now." After Lin Yuan made all the arrangements and rescued the Chinese businessman Yang Youde, he left the troops to guard Petropavlovsk, and took Shen Wanqing returned to Lushun with the Peking Ship, Xiaofeng Ship, and Kuilong Ship. On the way, Lin Yuan said to Shen Wanqing: "Do you still remember the grand plan to dominate the world that I told you?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said: "Of course I remember, I have been thinking about it all the time, what is this plan?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "When I return to Lushun this time, I will call everyone to talk about this matter."

On March 24th, Lin Yuan led the fleet back to Lushun, and held a secret meeting as soon as he came back. In this meeting, Lin Yuan only brought Han Mingguang, Chen Fei, Shen Wanqing, and several senior officers and Experts from various disciplines were invited together. At the meeting, Lin Yuan first said: "Before I talk about my plan, I would like to ask everyone, do you think this is the way to dominate the world?"

As soon as this question came up, it really caught the people below. The experts have never thought about this question, and the high-level military officers are relatively old, so they think less. No one spoke for a while, and after a while they heard Fade Chen said: "I think, if we occupy the world, it should be regarded as hegemony?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled, "That's not considered hegemony. Looking at our history, the empires with the largest land area are usually short-lived. Therefore, to truly dominate, you don't have to have a huge land area!"

Chen Fei asked: "Then what do you think is the real dominance?"

Lin Yuan took out a [-]-yuan bill from his pocket, held it in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that this thing is useless in this era, it's just a piece of waste paper." Then he said: "Have you seen it? ? It’s what’s really going to take over the world.”

Fade Chen suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, you want to talk about the economy, right? That's right, economic hegemony is the real hegemony!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You're only half right. What I want to say is: the one who really dominates the world is..." Lin Yuan paused when he said this, and when everyone looked at him, he said: "The one who truly dominates the world is..." The world is: currency!"

Everyone was at a loss, Fade Chen asked: "Currency? How can this dominate the world?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Think about it, if two countries want to trade bulk commodities, what will they use for settlement? It can't be barter, right? You exchange ten tons of grain for one ton of oil for me, that way How inconvenient it is."

Fade Chen said, "Isn't there gold and silver?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The amount of gold and silver is limited. How much gold and silver are there in total on the earth? There will definitely be more and more economic and trade exchanges in the world in the future, and the amount will definitely far exceed the total amount of gold and silver." Quantity, how to settle at that time?"

Fade Chen shook his head, and Lin Yuan said: "Both parties will find a currency and use this currency for settlement, just like the US dollar in our era! Not only for settlement, other countries will also buy US dollars for foreign exchange reserves, such as our country, They bought a large amount of U.S. dollars as reserve foreign exchange.”
