Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Italian Minister with a Bad Face
In the office of Lin Daxin of Weihai Weishui Academy, Baraccio, the Italian minister to the Qing Dynasty, sat opposite Lin Daxin's desk with a very bad face.
After learning the news of the total annihilation of the Italian expeditionary fleet, Baraccio rushed from the legation in Beijing to the Weihai Naval Academy overnight.
Barachio said in weirdly emphasized Chinese: "Lord Lin! On behalf of Italy, I once again ask you to release all captured personnel of the Italian Navy and return all Italian warships! Otherwise, Italy will make Lord Lin pay an unimaginable price! β
Lin Daxin sat on the chair behind his desk, crossed Erlang's legs, surrounded by Chen Ergou with 8 heavily armed guard soldiers, in case the annoyed and embarrassed Italian minister made any unfavorable moves to Lin Daxin!
Lin Daxin listened to the Italian Minister Baraccio, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Mr. Minister! Now your entire Italian navy combined may not be as strong as my garrison fleet! I'm curious how you Italy can make me pay an unimaginable price? β
Italian Minister Baraccio was suddenly speechless by Lin Daxin's words, after the two Italian fleets were completely wiped out in the Far East, there were only a few protective cruisers left in the active service of the entire Italian Navy, which is considered a relatively advanced warship, and the other warships are sail warships, so it can be said that the entire Italian Navy has gone back 20 years!
Fortunately, 2 all-steel battleships have now entered the stage of sea trials and will be ready for service this year, otherwise the entire Italian Navy will have to rely on a few protective cruisers to prop up the faΓ§ade!
Baracho continued to say strongly: "Lord Lin, you have to know! Italy will have 2 all-steel battleships in service this year, and in the dockyards of Italian shipyards, there are 4 all-steel battleships under construction and 4 large armored cruisers under construction! And the Italian Admiralty has already developed a much larger plan for its construction! Lord Lin, although the Italian Navy may not have the strength to trouble you now! But in a few years, an even more powerful Italian fleet may appear in front of you! β
Lin Daxin smiled and said: "Then you Italy can build more warships!" Then I will be able to capture another batch of warships! Hehe! β
Lin Daxin's words made the Italian Minister Barracio's angry face green, but Barracio did not dare to walk away, now most of the personnel of the Italian Navy are in Lin Daxin's prisoner camp, and the telegram from Italy to Barracio made it clear that the warship can not come back, but these experienced Italian naval officers and sailors must come back, otherwise the Italian Navy can build new warships, but without these experienced naval officers and sailors, who will use the new warships!
Barachio suppressed his anger and said, "Lord Lin, the matter of the warship can be put aside, but I hope you can release the captured Italian naval personnel!" β
This time, Lin Daxin said very happily: "The naval personnel can be released!" But ......"
Balacho immediately asked, "But what?" β
Lin Daxin said: "But it must be after the decisive battle between our Beiyang Naval Division and the Japanese Combined Fleet!" And Italy must give me some of your captive living expenses! Lin Daxin needs these Italian naval officers and men to stay in Weihaiwei for a while to help his naval officers and sailors strengthen some experience and professional skills.
After Lin Daxin and the Italian Minister Balaccio negotiated the issue of prisoners of war, Lin Daxin, who was smiling, sent the iron-faced Balachio out of the office.
At this time, two peerless beauties walked out of the inner room of the office, it was Ding Xueshan and Du Juan. It turned out that the two daughters came to Lin Daxin to report here early this morning, and after so many days of incompatibility, the relationship between the two daughters eased a little. Lin Daxin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart, whether he could enjoy the blessings of Qi people!
Originally, Lin Daxin had a soft spot for the innocent and beautiful Ding Xueshan, but suddenly a charming and touching Du Juan, who was also stunning, suddenly appeared, shushing himself and asking for warmth, how could Lin Daxin, as a normal man, not be tempted!
Fortunately, in the Qing Dynasty, a man can blatantly have three wives and four concubines, unlike in modern time and space, where a man can only marry one woman.
Recently, because of the matter of the Italian expeditionary fleet, Lin Daxin has put all his thoughts on this, and he has a lot less time to accompany the two daughters. Now that the Italian expeditionary fleet has been completely wiped out, Lin Daxin, who has nothing to do, originally decided to go around with the two daughters today and accompany the two daughters to relax.
Ding Xueshan, Du Juan and Lin Daxin were happily discussing where to go in the office, when the Italian minister Barracio came to find Lin Daxin, and the two girls hid in the lounge in Lin Daxin's office.
Ding Xueshan, who walked out of the room, pouted and said, "This nasty foreigner is really not the right time to come!" We were about to go out and play, and he came, at least delaying us for an hour! β
Du Juan looked at Lin Daxin and asked, "Brother Lin, can't we go out to play today?" β
Lin Daxin immediately said to the two girls: "Of course I'm going out!" But there's been a lot of going on lately! We're not going far! Shall I take you to the shipyard and take a look at the Italian warships I have captured? β
Du Juan first said happily: "Okay! Brother Lin, little sister, I haven't been on a warship yet! β
Ding Xueshan glanced at Du Juan, and said with a small face: "Not only have I been on a big ironclad ship, but Xiao Linzi also led me to ride on a big warship to the sea!" I saw seagulls! β
Du Juan saw Ding Xueshan stinking in front of her, walked two steps to Lin Daxin's side, put Lin Daxin in one arm in her arms, and said coquettishly: "Brother Lin, little sister also wants to take a warship to the sea for a ride!" Is it good? β
As he spoke, he shook Lin Daxin's arm in his arms, although his clothes are thicker now, Lin Daxin still clearly felt the firmness of Du Juan's chest, coupled with Du Juan's alluring appearance and shy voice, Lin Daxin's little Ding Ding instantly stood up and became a big Ding Ding.
Lin Daxin enjoyed the good feeling on his arm, and said, "No problem!" Xiaojuan, one day I will take you on a warship to the sea for a ride! β
Ding Xueshan looked at Du Juan holding Lin Daxin's arm, and said jealously: "You vixen are starting to ** my little forest again!" β
After speaking, Ding Xueshan came to the other side of Lin Daxin in two steps, hugged Lin Daxin's other arm tightly in his arms, and said with a somewhat shy face: "Xiao Linzi, I also want to go for a ride on the sea again!" β
Lin Daxin also felt the firmness of Ding Xueshan's chest, and his other arm also began to enjoy a good feeling, and the heat in his heart became a little stronger. Lin Daxin promised Ding Xueshan and said, "Okay! Good! Good! When the time comes, the three of us will take a warship for a ride on the sea! β
Lin Daxin had just finished speaking, and in the face of the two peerless beauties clinging to him, Lin Daxin felt a scorching heat from his body to the top of his head!
Ding Xueshan and Du Juan exclaimed at the same time: "Xiao Linzi, why do you have a nosebleed!" "Brother Lin, your nose is bleeding!"
Lin Daxin also felt something flowing out of his nose, and immediately raised his head. Ding Xueshan and Du Juan also immediately let go of Lin Daxin's arm and helped Lin Daxin wipe his nosebleed with a handkerchief!
Lin Daxin thought depressedly, it seems that he has been too angry recently! I really should find a way to lower my anger!
At this time, Chen Ergou's voice came from outside the door of the office, "Headmaster! There's something urgent! β
As soon as Chen Ergou's voice sounded outside, Ding Xueshan and Du Juan pursed their mouths at the same time, it seems that they can't play today!
Lin Daxin also smiled helplessly at the two women, then took a handkerchief from Ding Xueshan's hand, covered his nose, and then shouted to Chen Ergou outside the door: "Ergou, come in!" β
Chen Ergou immediately pushed the door in and said, "Principal! A telegram came from Liaodong that the Japanese army launched an attack on Shengjing and Lushun at the same time at 9 o'clock this morning! β
When Lin Daxin heard this, he couldn't even care about the blood from his nose, threw the bloody handkerchief on the desk, and shouted to Chen Ergou urgently: "Where is the telegram?" What is the situation in Lushun now? β
Chen Ergou hurriedly handed a telegram to Lin Daxin, and said: "The Japanese army attacking Lushun is attacking the Jinzhou defense line!" β
Lin Daxin took the telegram and looked at it, and said to himself: "The war has finally begun!" β
