The Petropaplovsk military port on the Kamchatka Peninsula is located east of Sakhalin, about 1,300 nautical miles from Vladivostok, and is the second largest Russian military port in the Pacific after Vladivostok.

However, Lin Yuan is not very worried, because these two offensive routes are easy to say but difficult to do, if the Russian army lands from behind, they will find that they have no road to go at all, because not only is there no road here, but there is not even a railway.

As for the enemy from the sea, Lin Yuan was even less worried, because the enemy had left them with a large number of shore defense guns in Vladivostok, which were enough to shred the enemy's fleet of any size, and the Russians wanted to attack Vladivostok unless they could use a clever plan to seize ships at sea like themselves.

Lin Yuan was thinking about it, when a piece of information caught his attention, which said that there were often Japanese ships going back and forth between Petropaplovsk military port and Japan, Lin Yuan thought: "What are these Japanese ships for?" It must have been a transport of troops, and after a series of battles in the Northeast, the alliance between Japan and Russia was inevitable. ”

At this moment, President Faure sent someone to send a letter to Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan opened the letter and saw that it was written: Our side has agreed to return the Chinese cultural relics in the museum's collection, and if possible, we will hold a press conference this afternoon to announce this matter to the whole world, and invite us to discuss the press conference.

Lin Yuan immediately found Fuer, first looked at the joint statement, and did not find anything wrong, so he agreed to sign, and the two sides signed a technology transfer agreement.

Lin Yuan saw that everything in France had been arranged, so he said to Fuer: "Please arrange for us to go to England." ”

"We've all made arrangements, we've got a special train for you and your men to go to Calais, a port city in northern France, where we'll arrange for ships to take you across the Strait of Dovre to England," Faure said. ”

Lin Yuan said: "As far as I know, Calais is a commercial port, and the ships there are all merchant ships, since you are a ship that has been arranged in advance, the news will definitely leak, I have to worry about the safety of our mission, I think it is better for us to go to the military port." ”

In fact, Lin Yuan had ulterior motives in saying this, during this trip to Europe, he had more or less seen the military techniques of Germany and Russia, but he had not seen them in France, so Lin Yuan planned to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Britain to go to a military port and check the situation of French warships on the military port.

Faure smiled: "We have four large military ports in France, Cherbourg, Brest, Toulon and Lorient, of which Toulon is in the Mediterranean region, and the other three are far away from England, so it is really not cost-effective to go to England from those places." As for security, don't worry, we'll arrange for you to be escorted by a warship. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "A warship is not bad, at least you can talk to the people on the warship." ”

When he arrived at the port of Calais, Lin Yuan found that his plan had failed, the French did send a warship to escort them, but it was very different from what Lin Yuan thought, Lin Yuan thought that the French could use a warship to carry them over, but he didn't expect that the French rented a large passenger ship and the warship escorted them on the side.

The accompanying French diplomat said: "The space on our warship is too cramped and the ride is not comfortable, so we have prepared a comfortable passenger ship for you." ”

Lin Yuan didn't say much, and boarded the passenger ship with everyone, Calais was less than thirty nautical miles from England, and people traveling to and from the European continent and Britain walked here.

Lin Yuan led people ashore in the British seaport city of Grace, which is very close to London, and the British diplomat came to greet him, and the British diplomat casually asked, "How was your trip to Europe?" Have you had a good time? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's not bad, I hope I can draw a perfect end to this trip in the British Empire." ”

The British diplomat smiled and said, "Of course, our British Empire will entertain guests from afar!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Is the Russian mission coming?" ”

The British diplomat said: "Of course they came, they have been here for more than half a month. ”

Lin Yuan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the news, and thought: "Since they came here half a month in advance, they must have made a lot of preparations, and with the ability of Gilles, the bear of Russia, he will definitely find ways to create an environment conducive to their peace talks." ”

Shen Wanqing was by Lin Yuan's side, she also heard the words of the British diplomat, and took advantage of the diplomat leading the way in front, without talking to Lin Yuan, and whispered: "Since the Russians came in advance, we are afraid that we will ......."

Unexpectedly, the British diplomat heard Shen Wanqing's voice, and he turned around and said, "Who is this beautiful young lady?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "I am a reporter for China's Kanto Daily. ”

The British diplomat was surprised and said: "Journalists? There are also journalists in China? And such a beautiful female journalist? ”

Shen Wanqing smiled and nodded, and the British diplomat said to Lin Yuan: "Your China is still changing a lot?" I've heard that you Chinese women never go out......"

Lin Yuan smiled: "China has changed a lot now...... So Lin Yuan chatted with the British diplomat, Shen Wanqing gave Lin Yuan a look, and wanted to talk to him alone, Lin Yuan also noticed, but the British diplomat was very enthusiastic, and the questions were one after another, and on this occasion Lin Yuan was not good at leaving him alone, so he didn't take time out, but he looked at Shen Wanqing's anxious appearance, and wondered in his heart: "What does she want to say to me?" ”

After walking for more than ten minutes, they came to the front of three brand-new cars, and the British diplomat said ashamedly: "I'm really sorry, we didn't prepare so many cars, why don't you and the senior officials get in the car first, go to the hotel to rest first, and then we will send the car over, okay?" ”

Lin Yuan had no choice but to agree, according to the official level, in addition to him, it was Xu Jingcheng and Chen Fei, Lin Yuan was just about to beckon them to come and sit, Shen Wanqing came up and said, "I'll take a car with you, right?" ”

The British diplomat felt that Shen Wanqing's level was not enough to ride in the same car as Lin Yuan, but it was not easy to bring it up, so he no longer spoke, but looked at Lin Yuan, of course Lin Yuan understood this truth, so he whispered to Shen Wanqing: "You better sit in the car behind." ”

Shen Wanqing ignored Lin Yuan, but smiled at the British diplomat: "Don't you often say 'ladies first'?" Why can't I just sit in the first car? ”

When Lin Yuan heard her say this, he said to the diplomat: "Just let her sit in the same car as me, don't worry, the people in our mission will not have an opinion." ”

Only then did the diplomat agree, and personally sat in the co-pilot seat of the first car, the cars in this era were relatively small, so there was no place for the two people to sit in the back, and when Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing sat down next to each other, Lin Yuan asked, "Do you have something to tell me?" ”

Shen Wanqing whispered: "Of course, I'm afraid that they will harm you!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Harm me? You mean the British? ”
