In the reception room of the German Lihe Foreign Bank, Lin Daxin and the general manager of the foreign company, Han Sen, had just negotiated an arms deal worth 2 million pounds.

Lin Daxin asked again: "I wonder if Lihe Foreign Bank can help me purchase an arsenal?" ”

Han Sen, who already regarded Lin Daxin as God, immediately spoke: "No problem! What are the requirements for the arsenal you need, Lord Lin? ”

Lin Daxin said: "Mr. Hansen, I need an arsenal that produces rifles, cannons, shells, bullets, and gunpowder, and the output cannot be low, and the production line must be able to produce all kinds of munitions I buy!" The bigger the better, money is not an issue! ”

"There should be no problem! But Mr. Lin, I have to contact the factories in Germany to finalize the price of the arsenal that Mr. Lin needs! Although there is a telegram now, which can save time, but according to the size of Lord Lin's arsenal, it will take a certain amount of time, about 10 days to reply to Lord Lin! ”

Lin Daxin was embarrassed and said: "But we are about to return to Weihaiwei!" ”

"It doesn't matter, for a big customer like Lord Lin, our foreign bank will definitely serve home. After receiving a reply from Germany, I will send my most powerful assistant to Weihaiwei to discuss the matter of the arsenal with Lord Lin. Hansom said.

Lin Daxin asked again: "I don't know if Mr. Hansen, your foreign bank has anything to do with the German Admiralty, and our Sailor Academy also wants to buy a few warships that have been put into service and use them as practice ships!" ”

When Han Sen heard that Lin Daxin was still going to sell the battleship, he hurriedly said: "Lord Lin, we have a good relationship with the German Admiralty, except for the battleships that the German Navy has just put into service, the German Admiralty may not sell them, and if the price of the other warships is right, I believe that Lord Lin can buy them, but this matter also needs to be confirmed after contacting the German Admiralty by telegram!" ”

Lin Daxin continued: "We will not stay in Shanghai for long, please Mr. Hanssen bring to Weihaiwei the performance and price of the ships that can be sold by the German Admiralty and your assistants!" ”

"There is no problem, Lord Lin is the most honored guest of our Lihe Foreign Bank, we will definitely do a good job of the things that Lord Lin explained!"

In the end, Lin Daxin asked Hansen to help invite some German military instructors and German technicians to go to Weihaiwei to work for Lin Daxin, and Hansen also agreed.

Lin Daxin finally took Wang Yan, Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao, who were a little confused by his big strokes, and left Lihe Foreign Bank, and returned to the alley of Wang Yan's house.

In the alley, Jerson had been waiting in the guest hall for a long time, and when he saw Lin Daxin and the four of them coming back, Jerson stood up and said excitedly to Lin Daxin: "Lord Lin, I've already thought about it!" I'm willing to work for you! ”

Lin Daxin was also very happy to see Jerson, when he met Jerson yesterday, his cousin Wang Yan introduced that Jerson had been in charge of import and export trade between South American countries and the United Kingdom in a British company before, and Lin Daxin suddenly had an idea.

The war between Chile and Argentina in South America in 1892 has ended, after the Sino-Japanese War between the Qing Dynasty and Japan in history, the Qing Dynasty allocated 2 million taels of silver to let Li Hongzhang urgently buy warships from Europe, but Britain and Germany and other countries banned the Qing Dynasty from buying warships on the grounds of war neutrality, but Chile, a South American naval power, was willing to sell the main warships of Chile to the Qing Dynasty at that time, but this warship deal that could change the direction of the Sino-Japanese War was disturbed by the British.

Chile is located in the southwest of South America, bordering the Pacific Ocean, because of the long coastline, the Chilean government pays special attention to the development of the navy, through the war with neighboring Argentina, the Chilean navy gradually grew in the war, its strength once dominated the Americas, and even exercised gunboat diplomacy against the United States. In the mid-to-late 19th century, as the threat of war was decreasing, the Chilean government often seized the opportunity to sell old ships and buy new ones.

Moreover, in addition to Chile, countries such as Argentina and Brazil in South America also have a lot of warships, and Lin Daxin believes that as long as the price is right, these warships may also be bought.

Lin Daxin heard that Jerson himself was more familiar with the situation in South American countries, and Lin Daxin hoped to buy some warships from South America before the First Sino-Japanese War.

In the name of purchasing training ships from the Beiyang Weihai Naval Division, a fleet was formed, and when the first day was prepared, it would cooperate with the Beiyang Naval Division's own team to meet the Japanese fleet, and the tragedy of the Beiyang Fleet in the Yellow Sea Naval Battle in history would not be repeated. The most important thing is not to let his father Lin Yongsheng die on the battlefield in the Battle of the Yellow Sea as in history.

Lin Daxin happily told Jerson that he wanted to buy South American ships, and Jerson expressed his willingness to go to South America to help Lin Daxin buy the warships in service in South American countries. At that time, Lin Daxin took out 10,000 pounds and handed it to Jerson as the cost of the trip to South America and Jerson's compensation.

Jerson patted his chest excitedly and promised that he would definitely buy back all the warships from South American countries.

In the end, after Lin Daxin discussed with several people, Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao took the remaining 390,000 pounds, and other five foreign currencies worth 490,000 pounds, and went to South America with Jerson.

Jiang Hui is a graduate of the British Naval Academy, and Sun Xitao is also a graduate of the Fujian Shipbuilding School, both of whom have studied naval knowledge for many years, and are very familiar with the current warships, and the two are also willing to go to South America in person to buy warships that they can command in the future.

Lin Daxin explained that the two of them could choose to buy a practice ship as the captain in the future, and if the two of them could buy more warships, Lin Daxin promised the two of them to let them each command a fleet!

When the two of them heard this, they decided to buy back the strongest warship and as many warships as possible, anyway, Lin Daxin, a local tyrant, is not short of money. Lin Daxin also explained that if the money is not enough, he can discuss with the seller, pay a deposit first, and then drive the warship back to Weihaiwei to pay the balance.

Cousin Wang Yan will follow Lin Daxin back to Weihaiwei and help Lin Daxin set up the Sailor School together.

The next day, Lin Daxin and his cousin Wang Yan got on a ship to Weihaiwei, and Jiang Hui, Sun Xitao and Jerson took a cruise to South America with a huge amount of money.

The steamer on which Lin Daxin and Wang Yan were sitting was converted from a coal ship of the Beiyang Naval Division, which was also a method of income generation that Admiral Ding Ruchang thought of in order to increase the funds for the Beiyang Naval Division. The conditions on the ship were not good, and there were still many people on the boat, and the whole coal ship was crowded.

However, Lin Daxin was arranged by the captain to a sailor's room under the cabin because of his identity as the deputy general manager of the Sailor Academy.

Lin Daxin and Wang Yan sat in the narrow sailor's room, Lin Daxin saw that this sailor's room was very remote, so he leaned over to Wang Yan and whispered: "Brother, you said that I bought warships, can I keep these warships in Beiyang?" Can Lord Li Hongzhang and Admiral Ding Ruchang allow me to have a training ship in the academy, which is more advanced than most of the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division? ”

Wang Yan thought about it for a while, and said unmindfully: "It doesn't matter, as long as we have the money in place, nothing is impossible!" Daxin, how did you have so much money? How much is it? Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao were there at that time, so my brother didn't ask in detail! Don't give your brother a sloppy look! ”

Originally, Lin Daxin was not going to tell the second person, he could travel through the secrets of two time and space, but he couldn't fool his shrewd cousin, and for his closest cousin, Lin Daxin absolutely believed that what he took from modern time and space in the future would still need his cousin Wang Yan to cover him, plus the ring has been bound to him, and others can't use the ring to cross, otherwise he will be strangled by the time and space tunnel, leaving no trace.

If you have an accident, the ring will destroy itself.

So Lin Daxin told Wang Yan about his magical experience.

After Wang Yan listened, he could put a duck pear in his mouth open.

Lin Daxin also performed live, traveled to the modern time and space office to get a bottle of green tea, and gave it to Wang Yan, Wang Yan took a sip of green tea before he completely believed his cousin's unbelievable experience.
