Chapter 187: Assassination (II)
This time, Fang Xiaoyu made improvements to the carriage with a shock absorption system that he had made before. He used a new hard aluminum alloy for diesel engines to make the body, which not only reduces the weight of the body, but also has a certain ballistic performance.
The bottom of the car is equipped with an improved version of the spring-type shock absorber, which is basically a simplified version of the independent suspension system developed for the future tank, and the wheels are equipped with honeycomb non-inflatable rubber tires, and Fang Xiaoyu also designed a bed for Wang Ling inside, and one end of the bed can also be automatically raised and lowered through a button, so that Wang Ling can sit up effortlessly.
The sides of the car and the roof Fang Xiaoyu are installed with five-layer artificial crystal windows, these windows can not only transmit light, but also bulletproof, these windows can also be opened or closed by electric button control, there are electrically controlled curtains on the windows to block the sun, and there is even a small wall lamp next to the window.
In addition to the soft velvet mattress in the carriage, there is also a cabinet for food and drink, the surface of the cabinet is convex outward, which can become a pull-out movable tabletop, and there are many squares inside it that can be divided into categories of food, and even a groove for placing water bottles, the design is absolutely humane.
Outside the car, Fang Xiaoyu installed two retractable chain ammunition machine guns on both sides of the car to protect Wang Ling's safety, and at the same time, there is an electric telescopic aluminum alloy ladder on the side of the front carriage door, which are controlled by electric buttons, for which Fang Xiaoyu also installed a large battery at the bottom of the car, so that the center of gravity of the car can be lowered, which can not only supply power to the equipment in the car, but also make the car more stable.
In short, this car was manufactured, and even several mechanical experts were amazed by Fang Xiaoyu's novel idea, which is a collection of the highest scientific and technological achievements in many fields of the Chinese collar, and it is the only modern carriage in the world.
When this beautiful carriage with four horses appeared in front of the women, well-informed people like the Rao is Xia family sisters and Wang Ling were also dumbfounded. When Fang Xiaoyu introduced the functions to the girls one by one, Xia Tingyun had to shout and ask Fang Xiaoyu to build one for her, anyway, Xia Tingyun ran around every day in order to prepare for the establishment of the stock exchange, Fang Xiaoyu was also very distressed, and immediately promised to build one for each of the women.
In addition to sending two female military doctors to take care of Wang Ling along the way, he also sent a regiment of the cavalry division to be responsible for protecting Wang Ling's safety along the way.
"Wait patiently for a few years, I will definitely marry you in style." Before Wang Ling got into the car, Fang Xiaoyu whispered in her ear. Wang Ling's face was flushed with shame, she didn't dare to talk to Fang Xiaoyu, she quickly turned around, and with the support of the maid, she walked up the aluminum alloy stairs to the carriage, but before entering the carriage, she turned around and whispered to Fang Xiaoyu: "I'll wait." ”
Watching Wang Ling's carriage disappear at the end of the mountain forest, the corners of Fang Xiaoyu's mouth curled slightly. Xia Tingwei on the side asked, "What did you say to Sister Ling just now?" I'm waiting for what she'll say for her. ”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Confidential." ”
Elena on the side said disdainfully: "Keep it secret, doesn't it mean that you want to marry her." ”
Only then did Fang Xiaoyu remember that Elena was an elf, and with the elf's hearing twenty times higher than that of ordinary people, he could naturally hear his whispers. Fang Xiaoyu turned his head and said to Elena with a smile: "Since your hearing is so good, did you hear it when I was exercising in the room with Yun'er last night?" Xia Tingyun and Elena said in unison with flushed faces: "I hate it." ”
Seeing off Wang Ling, Fang Xiaoyu came to the joint operations room for the first time a month later. The people who were notified before had already arrived, and in addition to the four people who had been in the war room for a long time, Zhao Quan was also called.
Fang Xiaoyu sat at the table with a blushing face, glanced at everyone and asked, "Brother Zhao, how are you checking?" ”
Zhao Quan said: "Two days ago, we caught one of the assassins, and after severe torture, he finally confessed to being a Japanese national. Listening to Zhao Quan's words, Fang Xiaoyu had a clear look on his face, obviously he had already made some preparations.
Thoble snorted coldly and said, "I didn't expect the Japanese people to do such a thing, and I really didn't hurt them last time." ”
Zhao Quan explained: "As far as I know, they are not from the Japanese government, but an organization called the Black Wolf Society, and the head of this organization is the Navy Grand Sakato Ryuichi. ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Do you have definite evidence?" ”
Zhao Quan nodded and said, "I have already obtained the prisoner's confession, and the rifle they used to assassinate them was also specially made by a gunsmith of the Black Wolf Society called Arisaka Seizhang." ”
"Oh?" Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "The special rifle, where is the gun?" ”
Zhao Quan said: "We have seized a rifle, which has been kept in the war room for your convenience. ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Take it and I'll take a look." One of the guards quickly brought a rifle. Fang Xiaoyu took the rifle and looked at it carefully: "The eleven-millimeter caliber straight-pull bolt single-loading rifle has very exquisite workmanship, and the whole gun can be divided into three major pieces by relying on threaded connections, and it is rare that the workmanship is so fine, there is no air leakage at all, and the power of the rifle has not decreased much." Such a gun is also difficult to be spotted when you carry it around, and it is indeed a sharp weapon used for assassination. ”
Fang Xiaoyu put down his rifle and said, "Inform Huadong Xing, immediately send a note to the Japanese government, asking them to hand over the assassin and the main envoy Kato Ryuichi within ten days." ”
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at the rifle again and added: "This is also required by Arisaka Chengzhang, if they don't give us a satisfactory answer after ten days." Fang Xiaoyu looked at the two generals of the navy and said, "How many warships do we still have in the navy that can be used." ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "Young master, most of the warships of the Navy have been transferred out to reinforce the St. Martin Empire, and now there are only two newly launched 'Lanting' class battleships and six 'Tongjiang' class cruisers, in addition to the twelve destroyers have begun to enter the outfitting stage, it is estimated that they will be put into use in one month, and the hulls of the eight new cruisers have been basically completed and can be put into use within three months, as for the four 'Northland' class battleships, I am afraid it will take at least one year to be launched, which is not counting the time for sea trials." ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "These navies are enough, inform the government of the Japanese country, if the murderer cannot be handed over within ten days, our navy will blow up every coast of the Japanese country." ”
"Young master, I don't think this is appropriate." Liu Junguo answered.
Fang Xiaoyu said: "What's wrong? ”
Liu Junguo said: "We are easy to arouse the dissatisfaction of the Saar Empire in doing this, although we are not afraid of them, but at this juncture of the lack of warships, it may not be good to force the Saar Empire to do something against us." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Since this is the case, let's say it vaguely, let's just say that if the murderer cannot be handed over within ten days, the Chinese leader will severely punish the Japanese state." By the way, contact the Ezo people, if we really want to do something with the Wa Kingdom, we need allies. ”
Fang Xiaoyu's sternly worded note startled the Japanese government, and in an island country like the Japanese country, the naval fleet is their guts. Now that their navy is gone, they don't have any ability to resist at all, and even if the Saar Empire is willing to help them, they don't dare to risk being bombarded by the Chinese navy on the coastline again.
As a result, there was a situation like Liu Junguo's estimate, and the Japanese government, which had already lost its courage, did not refute it at all, and immediately declared that the Black Wolf Society was an illegal organization, and at the same time wanted Ryuichi Kato and Arisaka Seiaki. Seeing that the government was so weakly subservient to the Chinese territory, there was an uproar in the country, and many radicals began to be dissatisfied with the government's actions, and an undercurrent began to surge in the country.
"Hello, General." A Chinese man in a grand gown greets an Imperial General in Boston with a champagne smile.
"Oh, dear Le, I didn't expect you to attend this reception." The general said happily.
That man was none other than Le Cheng, the ace agent of the Chinese Consular Intelligence Bureau, and at the moment he was the commercial representative of a large Boston Imperial Company in the capital Portland, and he was invited to the palace to attend the Empress's birthday banquet.
"I have heard that our navy has won a decisive victory, and I should really congratulate His Majesty the Emperor and all the generals." Le Cheng politely complimented the admiral in front of him.
The general was the famous Admiral Gothal of the Navy, and after listening to Le Cheng's words, he gritted his teeth and said: "What a decisive victory, don't listen to the nonsense of those idiots in the Admiralty, that inexperienced Dewey lost all the cruisers with such a big advantage, but failed to completely annihilate the other side, it's really a shame." ”
Hearing General Godar's words, Le Cheng asked with some surprise: "Anyway, we have won the victory after all. ”
Admiral Gothal said angrily: "But those damned Chinese people have brought ten better warships to the St. Martin Empire." After speaking, he suddenly realized that Le Cheng was also Chinese, and immediately explained with some embarrassment: "Of course, I am only targeting those Chinese people in the Chinese collar, and I have a very good impression of you and my friends." ”
Le Cheng scowled his shoulders and said: "It's nothing, I have long thought of myself as a Bostonite." ”
Admiral Gothal then added: "To be honest, the warships built by the Chinese Consulate are really good, and now all countries are vying to follow suit. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, General Pershing on the side smiled and said, "Okay, don't discuss this." Dear Le, you must know that this time not only the navy will be in the limelight, but our army will not show weakness. ”
After speaking, Admiral Pershing looked around and whispered: "To tell you a top-secret news, our army is going to land behind enemy lines, and then we can completely annihilate the main force of the St. Martin Empire that broke through to the Central and South China Alliance." ”
