Matsumoto Yunqing asked, "What old friend?" ”

Lin Yuan called in an attendant and said, "Invite Tada Zhengnan in." The attendant promised to go out, and when he walked in with a thin middle-aged man, Lin Yuan pointed at the middle-aged man and said to Matsumoto Yunqing, "Do you know him?" ”

Matsumoto Yunqing looked at the middle-aged man for a while and said, "I know him, he is the captain of the sniper wing we sent when we were assisting the Qing court, Tada Zhengnan, he is a soldier who is extremely loyal to the emperor, I have an impression of him." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, he is the incomparably sincere co-captain, who has always refused to surrender to me, and I have not embarrassed him." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Tada Zhengnan and said with a smile: "Tada-kun, I sued you back then, I will definitely achieve the final victory, how about now?" Am I victorious? ”

Tada Zhengnan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Lin Yuan, you still won." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "This is the last time we will meet." ”

Tada asked softly, "What?" You're going to kill me? ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled: "No, I'm going to let you go home, it's been more than a year, right?" Your family is still waiting for you to go back, find a good girl when you go back, what a good girl Akiko Aota, you still ignore people. ”

Tada Zhengnan didn't speak, just smiled, Lin Yuan stood up, stretched out his hand at him, and said with a smile: "Opponent, goodbye." Tada Zhengnan didn't expect Lin Yuan to take the initiative to shake hands with him, he was a little surprised, but he still stretched out his hand to shake Lin Yuan, and then walked out under the leadership of Lin Yuan's attendant.

Lin Yuan looked at Matsumoto Yunqing and said with a smile: "Our battle began in 1894 and ended today, and I want to say goodbye to my former opponents today. ”

Matsumoto Yunqing smiled and said, "You have so many opponents, who are you going to say goodbye to?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "You'll know when they all come in in a while." After a while, a tall and chubby man walked in, and Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Kodama, hello." ”

Kodama Gentaro smiled very kindly and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, you still won." ”

Lin Yuan said: "The war is over, I want to send you and your companions from the Japanese aid army back, goodbye." ”

Kodama Gentaro shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect that I was caught by Yuan Shikai, and I vainly called Japan's number one wise general." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Yuan Shikai is used to seeing the wind and making the rudder, and it is natural for us to surrender when he saw that we were powerful." ”

Gentaro Kodama sighed as he walked out, and the people who came in next surprised Matsumoto Yunqing, because they turned out to be Heihachiro Togo, Shinyuki Akiyama, and Yasuwa Hoshino!

Matsumoto Yunqing couldn't help but stand up when he saw these three people, and said, "Why were you also caught by Lin Yuan?" ”

Heihachiro Togo said helplessly: "We were originally in Kyoto, but the defenders of Kyoto announced their surrender, and we can only be prisoners. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Dongxiang, your fleet has fought valiantly throughout the war, although you have failed, but the fault is not yours, it lies in your equipment, your big ships and huge guns, obviously not the opponent of our missiles." ”

Akiyama Shinyuki said on the side: "If we had known this, we should have worked hard to study missiles back then, but unfortunately, we have gone too far on the road of big ships and huge guns, and it is impossible to turn back!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Do you remember the naval battle of the Ryukyu Navy? They sank several of your battleships, and later the Ryukyu Navy showed off some advanced weapons. ”

Akiyama said: "Of course I remember that naval battle, if it wasn't for that naval battle, we wouldn't have gone so far on the road of big ships and huge guns. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, I planned that naval battle, and I also arranged the demonstration of advanced weapons in the Ryukyus later. ”

Heihachiro Togo, Shinyuki Akiyama, Yasuwa Hoshino and Unkiyoshi Matsumoto were all stunned, Lin Yuan didn't say anything, turned his head to Yasuwa Hoshino, and said: "Hoshino-kun, your old partner, Mr. Ishiiso Koyama is not dead, he has already cooperated with us and is now a member of the Japanese People's Liberation League. ”

Hoshino Yasuwa nodded lightly and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, let's not talk about Xiaoshanjun, there is one thing I have never figured out, that is: in this war, we used a lot of advanced weapons, but these advanced weapons always did not work, why is this?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's a secret, I can't say it, although the war is over." ”

Hoshino Yasuwa nodded helplessly, and Lin Yuan continued: "Hoshino-kun, your submarine unit is also very heroic, but it's a pity that you are also subject to inferior equipment, not our opponent, it's not your fault." ”

Hoshino Yasuwa sighed heavily, and Heihachiro Togo shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, the navy is a high-tech service, and our technical strength is not as good as China's, so we are convinced. ”

Lin Yuan also sighed and said, "It would be nice if everyone could think like you, General Nogi Noshinori has committed suicide, in fact, I really want to meet him and say goodbye to him." ”

Everyone sighed for a while, Lin Yuan sent away Togo Heihachiro and others, and met with a few officers, which ended the farewell, Matsumoto Yunqing understood: Lin Yuan's farewell to these opponents was actually annunciating: The confrontation and struggle with Japan have all ended, and Lin Yuan's next opponents will be Europe and the United States.

Lin Yuan's farewell party did not end until the evening, Lin Yuan said goodbye to Matsumoto Yunqing, and the Japanese People's Liberation League sent Lin Yuan a plan for future work at this time, in the planning, the Japanese People's Liberation League decided to set up a new capital in Kyoto, Japan used the renminbi, and no longer set up a separate central bank to issue currency.

Lin Yuan immediately replied: Don't set up the capital in Kyoto, it is better to set it up in Tokyo, you can use the original office space in Tokyo, there is no need to build new office facilities, and it will not give the people a bad impression that the new government is very extravagant.

After Lin Yuan finished replying, he called the attendant's room and said, "Ten days later, a banquet will be held to celebrate the founding of New Japan, it will be more grand, I will give an important speech at this banquet, and you will do your best to arrange it." ”

The attendant's room agreed, and Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "Ten days later, my speech will completely announce that international relations have entered a new era, the era of Western dominance will be gone forever, and all mankind will also enter a new future." ”
