Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

As soon as these words came out, not only all the reporters, but even Lin Yuan were extremely surprised. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Isn't he dead? What happened to the corpse in the warehouse?" So Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Need to understand? Our reporters have seen the dead bodies being moved out of the warehouse."

Charlton said: "The people burned to death were not the female workers, but Klein's subordinates. The number was not 44, but [-]. Didn't everyone find the death toll at the fire scene wrong? The previous explanation was that the bodies were burned to ashes." Yes, but is the fire of cotton so powerful? It can burn nearly thirty corpses to ashes."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "At that time, I realized that the number of corpses was wrong, but I believed the policeman's explanation. Now that I think about it, there were indeed some things that were wrong in the fire scene, such as the corpse that grabbed the window, and his skeleton structure. It seems to be bigger than ordinary girls, I didn’t notice it at the time, but now I think about it, it’s not those girls who died.”

Lin Yuan thought about it: "What is Charlton here to say about these things? Is he trying to completely deny the fact that their factory uses girls as bonded workers?" So Lin Yuan asked: "Mr. Charlton, no Do you know what you mean by these words? Are you trying to say that the people living in that warehouse are Klein’s subordinates, and there have never been slave girls living there?”

Charlton said sincerely: "No, no, that's not what I meant. There were indeed some female workers who were more miserable than slaves in that warehouse before, but that night, Klein's men secretly moved the female workers away. They people live in! As for the reason they live in, Klein expected that Mr. Lin Yuan would come with reporters the next day, and then he can say that all the people living in the warehouse are his own people!"

"This matter was carried out extremely confidentially, no Chinese knew about it, and Layson happened to go out that night, so Layson didn't know about it! The people guarding the warehouse were still the same as before, and locked the door of the warehouse at night , I don’t even know that the people inside are different.”

"As for how the fire started, we will never know. Maybe the people in Klein felt too stuffy and smoked inside at night, igniting the cotton."

When Charlton said this, he looked at the reporters and said: "Actually, I have a more important purpose for coming today." He bowed deeply to the reporters present, and then said: "I am here for us. Apologize for the cruel and inhumane employment method, and promise not to do it again in the future, welcome friends in the press to monitor us! Not only that..."

At this point, Charlton deliberately paused, making people feel that his following words are more important: "We are willing to unconditionally compensate all the profits of the mill since its establishment more than two years ago to the Qing Empire represented by Mr. And provide detailed accounts for Mr. Lin Yuan to verify!"

Lin Yuan nodded silently and said, "Where are those Chinese girls? Where are they?"

Charlton said with a smile: "Our carriage is too small. We only brought one person today, and we will send the rest soon." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came in. Lin Yuan saw that it was the girl who kicked someone. Her hair and face were clean, and her clothes were tidy. She was still a good-looking girl.

The girl threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms and began to cry. Seeing that they were fine, Lin Yuan thought to himself, "Wan Qing will be very happy to find out!"

Charlton smiled and said: "We will leave it to you, and we will leave first. I will send someone to deliver the others." After speaking, he walked out, and all the reporters dispersed. Yuan walked forward and said happily: "Brother-in-law, that's great! We apologized and paid the foreigners, and our girls are fine!"

Lin Yuan forced a smile, and Qiu Jin asked in surprise, "Brother-in-law, why do you look unhappy?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "No, maybe I've been too tired recently." Then he handed the girl to Qiu Jin, and said, "You take her back to the agency first, and I'll go to your sister Wan Qing."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Qiu Jin staring at his back in a daze. Lin Yuan found Shen Wanqing and told her about it. Shen Wanqing was excited for a while, but soon Quickly frowned, and said to Lin Yuan: "In this way, your plan will not be able to be implemented!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, I wanted to freeze the HSBC bank deposits in the name of checking the account of Klein Spinning Mill, but now they have handed over all the silver earned by the Spinning Mill to me, and also handed over the detailed accounts. Provide it to me, so why would I have any reason to freeze the deposits of HSBC Bank! I can also say that the accounts are false and forcibly freeze the deposits, but then I have to produce evidence, how can I have evidence! If There is no reason to forcefully freeze the bank deposits, and it will lose the support of the people!"

Shen Wanqing sighed, and said, "They made a move to abandon the pawns and save the car!" At this moment, a subordinate came in and said to Lin Yuan, "Commander Lin, urgent call from the Forbidden City."

Lin Yuan said: "Read!"

The subordinates opened the telegram and said: "Forward Lin Yuan Aiqing to send a personal message: I knew that the female worker died before, and I was very sad. Now I know that the female worker is alive, and I am very relieved. Foreigners apologize and pay compensation, great joy. There is an old saying: You have to forgive others and forgive them." People, since the foreigners have come to this point, it is not appropriate to push them too hard. The first offender, Klein, should be released lightly.

Shen Wanqing asked: "Emperor Guangxu wants us to let Klein go, should we let him go?"

Lin Yuan nodded, and said, "The foreigners have already retreated to this level, and I can't be reluctant. Besides, it's useless for me to keep Klein." Lin Yuan said to his subordinates: "If foreigners come to ask for someone , let him go."

As soon as his men left, Lin Yuan sighed: "The foreigner's actions are fast enough. I just got the news here, and the urgent call from the court came!"

Shen Wanqing sighed: "They must have arranged someone in Beijing, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast!"

Lin Yuan frowned, and said: "The downfall of HSBC was part of my effort to make the Qing government lose trust in foreign banks. Now that HSBC doesn't go down, my plan will not be implemented. This is directly related to the fate of the People's Bank of Northeast China." , is directly related to our big plan to dominate the world!"

Shen Wanqing sighed and asked, "What should we do?"

Lin Yuan frowned in thought, and suddenly said: "Do you still remember what happened that day?"

Shen Wanqing asked: "What day happened?"

Lin Yuan said anxiously: "It was the day I pushed you on the table."

Shen Wanqing thought: "You pushed me on the table twice, which one was it?" But how could she have the nerve to ask, when Lin Yuan said "I pushed you on the table", she was already ashamed It was blushing, but luckily Lin Yuan didn't pay attention, and remembered that day when he was going to untie his belt, his face was on fire.

Lin Yuan went on to say: "We got half of it that day, didn't Fade Chen come? Didn't he tell me that he found traces of opium? Opium is a breakthrough, and the amount of opium is hundreds of times that of the cotton mill. We Wouldn't it be more efficient to get their banks through opium?"
