Shen Wanqing asked happily, "Have you thought of a way to listen to the information?" ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled: "The method I thought of was more important than listening to intelligence, and I thought of a way to break up the enemy's alliance." ”

Shen Wanqing asked in surprise, "What?" Is it true? Hurry up and talk to me, what's the solution? ”

Lin Yuan said: "The method I came up with is related to this technical display, the British show of warships this time just provides us with an excellent opportunity, although the ministers of various countries do not know naval skills, but they will definitely report the details of this display to the country, there will be experts in the country to analyze this information, and soon they will realize the backwardness of their skills." ”

"But they definitely won't be able to make such a big technical breakthrough in a short period of time, and at this time I'm going to play, and I can sell them advanced techniques in exchange for their support for us."

Shen Wanqing said: "But if this is the case, won't the development of the great powers' techniques be accelerated?" When you were in Germany and France, you wanted to get European scientists to China, didn't you just want to suppress their development? Why do you want to help them develop now? ”

After Lin Yuan heard this, he laughed with tears in his eyes, and Shen Wanqing said coquettishly while beating him: "What's so funny about you?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "It's because you don't understand the technique that you have such an idea, in fact, we sold them the technique to harm, just to harm them." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Oh, I understand, if we sell our techniques to them, they won't develop their own techniques, so we are equivalent to harming them, right?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You are only half right, let me give you an example, you will understand, let's talk about radio first, today we also saw radio communication equipment on the ship, the radio communication equipment of various countries in this era is not very developed, so we can sell them some, but we don't sell them electronic jamming equipment, and we won't even mention this concept to them." ”

"And electronic countermeasures, the most important step is to find out the situation of the opponent's equipment, for us, their equipment is what we sold, how to fight is not clear? Therefore, when we meet on the battlefield, they will only suffer losses and be beaten. ”

"I'll give you another example of a steam turbine, the countries of this era have not yet mastered the technology of ship steam turbines, so we can sell this technology to them, but in modern warships, they all use gas turbines, and steam turbines are only used on large ships, so we sell them steam turbines to encourage them to take the road of big ships and huge guns."

"But we will definitely not take the road of big ships and huge guns, what road are we going to take? Radars, missiles, bombers, in this way, no matter how big the warships built by the great powers, they are all our targets, you say, have we harmed them? ”

Shen Wanqing nodded and said, "But your method is good, I'm afraid that they won't come to you at that time, so won't your plan be in vain?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, no, I'm going to talk to the ministers of those countries about this tomorrow." ”

Shen Wanqing said: But the ministers of those countries are avoiding you, how can you go to see them? Lin Yuanha smiled and said, "How did you forget, tomorrow we are going to take the train back to London together!" Where do they hide from me when I'm on the train? You don't have to open the window and jump off to avoid me. ”

Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing discussed the strategy, and waited until the next day to get on the train, this train is a diplomatic train, very luxurious, and even the ministers of each country can have their own carriage, but there is only that one dining car, and when it is time to eat, you still have to go to the dining car.

Lin Yuan pinched the time, and walked into the dining car at the time of everyone's meal. At this time, in the dining car, the ministers of various countries were almost there, Gilles sat closest to the inside, saw Lin Yuan come in and just glanced at him gently, so he lowered his head and continued to eat what was in front of him, Lin Yuan looked at his hand, and saw that the German minister sitting next to him was the German minister.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "At this time, Germany is about to compete with Britain for the position of the world's first naval power, so it is better to put the breakthrough on the German minister." ”

So Lin Yuan pointed to the chair opposite the German minister and asked with a smile, "Is there anyone sitting here?" ”

The German minister looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, frowned and didn't speak, Lin Yuan smiled, pulled out a chair and sat in front of the German minister, the German minister was very unhappy, frowned, pointed to the empty seats in the full carriage, and said, "Can't you sit somewhere else?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "My Majesty Wilhelm II and I are old friends, and I miss it very much after not seeing him for more than ten days, so I came to catch up with you." ”

Just then, a waiter came pushing a cart with a plate on it, and the waiter picked it up and put it in front of the German minister, and said, "Your mac and cheese." ”

The German minister picked up his fork and said, "I'm going to eat, I hate it when people watch me eat!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I also want something, let's talk while eating." When the waiter on the side heard Lin Yuan's words, he asked politely, "May I ask Mr. Lin Yuan, do you want a mac and cheese too?" ”

Lin Yuan looked at the thick layer of cream on the macaroni, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Is there anything lighter?" By the way, what's going on the fastest? ”

The waiter replied, "Fruit salad ......"

Lin Yuan immediately said: "It's good, it's it, send it immediately." Not long after the waiter left, he came back with a plate of fruit salad, and Lin Yuan smiled at the German minister: "Okay, now we eat together, it's not that I watched you eat." ”

The German minister was amused by Lin Yuan, he picked up the napkin in his hand, wiped the cheese on his mouth, and said: "Okay, from the moment you sit in front of me, I know what you want to say, don't you just want our German Empire to support your Qing Empire?" ”

This time it was Lin Yuan's turn to laugh, he poked a piece of apple with his fork, put it in his mouth slowly, and said leisurely: "I came to save your German Empire, and you still don't appreciate it." ”

The German minister was surprised and asked, "What did you say?" Save? How can we talk about that? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Let me tell you a word, 'Let other countries share the land and sea, and the era when Germany only enjoyed the blue sky is gone forever, and we in Germany also want the land under the sun', do you know who said this sentence?" ”

The German minister said: "Of course, this is what His Majesty the Emperor said. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's good that you still remember, but I believe you have also seen how powerful the dreadnoughts of the British Empire are in the latest demonstration, and are you Germans' navy their opponents?" ”

Lin Yuan didn't wait for the German minister to finish speaking, and then continued: "Your German navy, the battleships seem to only have the old Sachsen class, right? I don't know what year these warships were launched? In front of the British, will they be a live target for others? ”
