Lin Yuan said coldly: "What are you discussing?" ”

Ilya said with a smile: "We can do without Jilin and Heilongjiang, these two provinces will be returned as they are, but we are sincere in improving the lives of the people in these two provinces, and only we Russian businessmen can come to these two provinces to invest and set up factories." ”

Lin Yuan sat back and said with a smile: "This is impossible, you also know that the Qing Dynasty and many countries have signed the most-favored-nation clause, and if you want to do it as you said, you go back and tell your emperor that he will find a way to abolish the Sino-British Humen Treaty, the Sino-US Wangxia Treaty, and the Sino-French Whampoa Treaty, and I will agree to you this condition." ”

At this time, Russia's national strength was not as good as France and the United States, not to mention the world's first hegemon at that time - Britain, Ilya knew that Lin Yuan was deliberately making things difficult for himself when he said this, he smiled faintly and said: "Our Russian Empire is the most sincere, we can still make another step, the previous conditions do not count, as long as Lin Shuai agrees to our two conditions, we will withdraw from Jilin and Heilongjiang." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that this Ilya is really a Chinese expert, there is a Russian proverb, called if you encounter resistance, the iron rod sweeps, the resistance increases, and the iron rod is thickened, and now this Ilya's negotiation strategy is completely based on retreat, this is a Chinese philosophy, at the beginning of throwing out a big request, and then slowly reducing step by step, the real purpose is hidden behind the big demand, this kind of small trick is useless to yourself." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "This condition is very tempting, I don't seem to have any reason not to agree, tell me, what are the two conditions?" ”

Ilya smiled: "First, you also know that we have built railways in Jilin and Heilongjiang, which are built for the benefit of the people of the two countries, and they are paid by our country, so I hope that after we return Jilin and Heilongjiang, these two railways will still be owned by us." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Okay, you Russian, your wishful thinking is really good, if this railway is in your hands, you can control our place through it at any time." ”

However, Lin Yuan asked quietly: "What is the other condition?" ”

Speaking of this, Ilya suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I want your flying machine!" ”

Lin Yuan immediately understood in his heart that the real purpose of the Russians coming here was the advanced technology they had mastered!

Lin Yuan deliberately pretended to be confused and asked, "What kind of flying machine, why can't I understand." ”

Ilya laughed quietly: "Lord Lin, don't pretend to be confused, how did you blow up the Japanese artillery position just now?" Didn't it blow up with a flying machine? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Who did you listen to?" ”

Ilya smiled calmly and said: "You have flying weapons, which is already a secret between the high-level leaders of our countries, but we all think that the other party does not know the way, so we still treat it as a big secret and cover it tightly." ”

Ilya saw Lin Yuan's eyes move, thinking that he was moved, so he smiled and said: "I advise Lin Shuai to think about it, after you have a vicious battle with the Japanese, do you still have the ability to fight us?" Therefore, give us the aircraft, we withdraw the troops, and we each have what we need. ”

After Ilya finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yuan quietly, and thought: "The current situation is here, you don't have the strength to fight us anymore, this is your last chance to take back Jilin and Heilongjiang, it is difficult for you to agree or not, but after you agree, we will withdraw our troops, but we can say two." ”

What Ilya didn't expect was that Lin Yuan actually nodded and smiled: "It's good, I promise you." ”

Ilya couldn't believe his ears, and he said, "Okay, Lin Shuai is really happy. ”

Lin Yuan also thought that it was very likely that the Russians would leave the plane but not withdraw their troops, but he still agreed, because he saw this incident as an opportunity to counter the Russians.

In the last few battles, the Japanese army used new weapons and equipment such as rail guns, airships, and high-speed artillery, which made Lin Yuan see the enemy's technical and technological innovation ability, and he suddenly thought that if you want to deal with the enemy's development, you don't have to rely on your own development, but you can also use the powerful skills you have mastered to stifle the development of the other party.

For example, in the development of modern civil airliners, there are two hard indicators, such as the European and American countries to formulate noise standards and pollutant emission standards, if these two indicators are not qualified, the developed civil airliner is unable to obtain airworthiness certificate, that is, such an aircraft can not fly in Europe and the United States, no airline will buy such an aircraft.

These two standards seem to be environmentally friendly, but in fact they are an excellent means to combat competitors in other countries, both of which are related to the performance of aero engines, and the place that produces the most flight noise is the tail nozzle, and if you want to reduce noise, you need to improve the flow field design; If you want to reduce pollutant emissions, you need to improve the design of the combustion chamber, which is easy to say, but it is very difficult to develop, and it requires a lot of accumulation and experimentation, so countries like China that want to get a piece of the civil aviation market are turned away.

This is an example of using his own advanced technology to suppress the development of the other party, Lin Yuan was thinking about what kind of channel to use to interfere with the development of Western countries, but he didn't expect that at this time, this Ilya was sent to the door.

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, our plane doesn't have anything to say, it's just to install a propeller in front of it and use it to drag the body forward." ”

Ilya said with a smile: "Listening to Lin Shuai's words, Lin Shuai must also be a person who understands techniques, and I can't hide it, before I became a diplomat, I graduated from Moscow State University, and I am very yearning for all kinds of advanced techniques." "Moscow State University is the largest university in Russia and the most comprehensive university, and Zhukovsky, the father of Russian aviation, graduated and teaches at this university.

Lin Yuan's heart moved, this was hit by the muzzle, his tricks would not be seen through by him, so he asked, "Then what did you learn?" ”

"Mechanics, specifically, is solid mechanics," Ilya said. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This is okay, the most related to the flight of the plane is gas dynamics, which is a branch of fluid mechanics, although it has a similar foundation to solid mechanics, but it is like a mountain, and this Ilya cannot understand too much." ”

Ilya continued: "The plane needs to have a lot of speed to get up, so is this speed all provided by the propellers? ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Let's hide the things related to jet planes well." So he nodded and replied, "Of course." ”

Ilya frowned and asked: "When I was at Moscow State University, I audited Professor Zhukovsky's class, and it seems that the efficiency of the propeller to do work at a certain speed decreases sharply, so it seems that the propeller-powered aircraft has a limit in speed. ”

Lin Yuan did not expect that this Ilya actually had a certain understanding of gas dynamics, when the flight speed of the propeller aircraft was close to the speed of sound, the efficiency of the propeller decreased greatly, so that the speed could not be maintained, and when the aircraft reached the speed of sound, the drag would increase sharply, this phenomenon was called "sound barrier" in aviation, and breaking through the sound barrier was a matter after the middle of the twentieth century.

Lin Yuan's mind turned for a moment, and he said casually: "Oh, we also have a faster plane, we call it the Wave Rider." ”
