In the letter, Sara greeted Chen Wan and the children, as well as Lin Yizhe and Shen Baozhen, and gave a brief overview of her current situation, and then turned the topic to the children, which were of mutual interest to them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

“…… Dear Wan, how are your children? I heard that you are pregnant again, I am really happy for you, Yuxi and Guanchen have grown taller again, right? As a mother, it is a great joy to be able to watch your children grow up healthily around you. My dear Wan'er, you said that giving life to an immortal soul is a very proud thing, and I very much agree with you, but I myself can hardly be as relaxed as you. I feel that in childbirth, both physically and mentally, we women suffer more than men......"

"I gave birth to Helen (Chen Jing's English name, full name: Helen?) Nathan? Meyer? Rothchild-Chan) was eight months pregnant, and I was in real pain because I had a lot of family matters to deal with, and it felt like I had broken my wings...... I guess our gender is a misfortune. I'm glad to see that you've fully entered into all the feelings of being a mother, my dear Wan, and how much it takes for a woman to grow up with an ignorant toddler! I can't say what my pain, my feelings, my struggles (in fact, I'm not quite free from it). When I took Helen back to her room, she was crying as if it were last night. ”

"James (Chen Wei's English name, full name: James?) Nathan? Meyer? Rotschild Chan grew up a little bit before me, but he was also getting more and more naughty, the kid was so competitive that he never knew how to spell the word 'back down', and fights with the neighbor's kids were a common thing. Just yesterday, while we were on holiday at our estate in Hartford, he got into a fight with Sir Tennison Dayne Cotter's Eustace over a model of a boat. Ever since Lin gave him that beautiful model of a Chinese ship, he has been fascinated by boats. He was playing in a boat with the two boys who had been his companions in the house, and met six English boys who asked him to give up the pond, which James thought was not an equal deal, but an attempt to forcibly evict him; So he decided to deal with it with toughness. You know, it's three Asian boys facing six white boys who are almost a head taller than them! A contest that can be said to have a huge disparity in strength, isn't it? But what surprised me was the result of the contest: the final winner was James! Sir and Mrs. Tennison-Dayne Cotter brought Eustace to the manor that night, and we discussed the events that took place during the day—"

"Poof-ahem-ahem!"

When Lin Yizhe heard the name "Tennison-Dayncott", his face couldn't help but change greatly, and a mouthful of tea in his mouth squirted out instantly. Although the tea came out of his mouth, he was still choked violently by the water, his throat was uncomfortable, and he coughed violently.

"What's wrong? Kunyu? Chen Wan was taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward, and gently patted Lin Yizhe's back, "Choked?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Yizhe said, the surprise in his eyes still did not dissipate, he coughed twice, feeling much better, he raised his head and looked at Chen Wan, and said with a smile, "Wei'er is so powerful, dealing with several children by himself?" ”

"Yes, it's really strange, the little uncle and aunt are very quiet people, but Wei'er is so tiger-headed."

"Moreover, he actually beat the son of Sir Tennison-Dayncott......" Lin Yizhe quickly searched for the historical information he knew in his mind, "That's a generation of shipbuilders......"

As a military fan who is familiar with the history of the world's navy and half of the BB party, Lin Yizhe can be said to be very familiar with the name Tennison Daincott!

Tennison Dayncot (full name Eustace?) Henry? William? At the age of 18, Tennison Daincott was recommended by the famous shipbuilder Sir Reid to work at the Armstrong-Whiteworth shipyard, and in 1888 he was admitted to the shipbuilding department of the Greenwich Naval University. Sir Watts was mentored and succeeded Watts as Director of Shipbuilding at the plant. In 1912, after completing the design of the Brazilian battleship "Rio de Janeiro", the British battleship "Agincourt", which was later known as the "one-week turret battleship", and the "Admiral Torare" class battleship of the Chilean Navy, he succeeded Watts as the director of the British Admiralty Shipbuilding Bureau.

Tinnison-Daincott had already begun to design a variety of ships while working at Armstrong. After serving in the Admiralty, the ships designed mainly included capital ships such as "Sovereign", "Shengwei", "Hood" and "Nelson", large light cruisers of the "Brave" class, aircraft carriers such as "Fury", "Hundred-Eyed Giant", "Eagle" and "Athletic God", cruisers of the "Hawkins", "Linxian", "C", "D", "Enterprising" and "County" classes, destroyers of the "R", "S", "V" and "W" classes, submarines of the "J" and "K" classes, as well as shallow water heavy gunboats, escort ships and gunboats. Merchant ships that can be converted into seaplane carriers, and almost all types of ships. His original techniques such as inclined armor, anti-mine bay cabins, and the use of low-manganese structural steel are all famous, and it can be said that he was the chief designer of ships at the peak of the British Royal Navy in World War I, and his designs played a pivotal role in the development of ships around the world.

Lin Yizhe clearly remembered that Tennison-Dayncott was born on April 1, 1868, and Chen Wei was born on November 2, 1867 (the day he crossed), so the little Eustace who was beaten by Chen Wei could not be someone else!

"What did Kunyu say? Who is a master shipbuilder? Chen Wan looked at Lin Yizhe a little strangely and asked.

"Oh...... No, it's nothing, you keep reading. ”

Chen Wan then read: "We think they will become very good friends in the future, of course, we don't want them to fight again, we all feel that maybe with girls present, these future gentlemen will be more restrained." In order to allow James to study better in the future, his father has decided to have girls accompany him when he reaches school age...... ”

Hearing Chen Wan read this, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

It seems that this little brother-in-law of mine is worthy of being the master of grabbing a knife in one hand and a rouge in the other!

From the letter written by Sarah, Lin Yizhe faintly felt that this child named Chen Wei might be associated with the ship!

Being able to mingle with future shipbuilders already seems to represent some kind of omen!

Since this child was born on the day he crossed over, he may be like himself, a butterfly that changed history!

Thinking of this, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but think about it for a while, and he was in a thousand miles.

Tianjin, Dagukou, Guanhai Building.

Guanhailou is a well-known local restaurant, not only the environment is elegant, the dishes are excellent, but also has a benefit, that is, you can drink on this floor, enjoy the sea scenery, is a good place for literati and guests to gather, is to come to the guests all year round,

At this time, in a rather richly decorated Accord, a middle-aged man with a black and red face was seriously looking at the model of the beautifully crafted warship placed on the sour branch wood coffee table.

"Masts, slipways, gun houses, chimneys, flybridges, and even underwater things...... All the equipment depicted on the picture is complete! This Lin Kunyu is really thinking about it. After carefully comparing the many details on the model with the line map of the warship in his hand, the middle-aged man couldn't help but praise it.

"Yes! Even the capital ships of the Japanese were able to make them so thin. Hearing the admiration of the middle-aged man, the tall middle-aged man sitting on the chair - Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, nodded, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on the passing ships on the sea.

Lin Kunyu's set of "Dongying Military Preparation" is clearly organized, and all Japan's military system and armaments, regardless of sea and land, are included in it, and even the life history and behavior of a Japanese chief such as Yama County Youpeng and Saigo Takamori are also involved. Talent is rare! The middle-aged man looked carefully at the few poorly bound books spread out on the coffee table, and exclaimed loudly.

"Uncle Yun, don't you think that Lin Kunyu knows a little too much?" Li Hongzhang turned his head, looked at Xue Fucheng, who was inexplicably excited in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"Why did Lord Taiwan say this?" Xue Fucheng asked strangely.

"Hehe, this person is very old, and he is also very suspicious." Li Hongzhang smiled self-deprecatingly, "I just feel that he knows the situation of the Japanese people in too much detail." If he is familiar with the situation in England and France, it is because he has been there. But he's never been to Japan. ”

Li Hongzhang got up, came to the table, looked at the model of the Japanese "East" ironclad ship sent by Lin Yizhe to Lin Guoxiang along with the letter on the table, and said: "He is so familiar with the situation in Japan, as if he was born in Japan...... Could it be that he has already started to guard against Japan? ”

"Your Excellency is too worried." Xue Fucheng laughed, "Although this ship is owned by Japan, it was built by France, Lin Kunyu is so familiar with this ship, I think I learned the details from the French shipyard." However, what Lord Fang said in the latter sentence is that I think that he, Lin Kunyu, must have been wary of Japan for a long time, and it was by paying attention everywhere that he got this first-hand detail of the Japanese. His meticulousness and meticulousness are indeed very human. ”

"Also, like the one he was preparing to deal with the Japanese this time, if he hadn't been prepared, he wouldn't have been able to do it." Li Hongzhang listened to Xue Fucheng's explanation and felt the same, "He is so young and has such a far-reaching vision, which is really amazing." ”
