Chapter 7: Take the spy to persuade him to surrender
Just when everyone was worried about the imminent defeat of the Beiyang Fleet, the sea alert radar on the aircraft carrier showed that the Japanese fleet had slowed down its march and changed its course!
The commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Ito, saw that the flagship "Matsushima" was badly damaged and that the trend of sinking was irreversible, so he transferred the fleet headquarters to the "Hashidate", which was also a Sankei ship.
As the commander of the fleet, Ito was the first to transfer to the "Hashidate" ship, and he quietly watched his men transfer relevant personnel and materials back and forth, but his mind was like a storm.
In his nearly 30 years of naval career, he thought about naval warfare all the time, and he felt that he had grasped the essence of naval warfare, which he suddenly realized when he first saw the two warships "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan", just like the enlightenment of Daigo in Buddhism.
A battleship is nothing more than three elements, firepower, mobility, and protection, which are mutually contained, for example, the increase in firepower requires the addition of large-caliber artillery or the increase in the number of guns, but in this way, the hull will become heavier, and the maneuverability will be affected. Therefore, the best warship, these three elements must achieve the most ingenious and reasonable balance.
Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he didn't think that the Sanjing ship, which the military department had high hopes for, could play any big role, although the caliber of the main guns of these three warships was large, but it affected the maneuverability, for example, the guns of the Sanjing ship could not be turned at will, otherwise the hull might tilt and sink. On the contrary, he felt that a ship with a fast sailing speed and a fast rate of fire could pose the greatest threat to "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan."
This is his idea of naval warfare, or his view of war, but today's attack on the "Songdao" ship shattered everything for him, the enemy came too fast, and from a direction he never thought of, the sky, and I don't know what weapon Lu Dao used, he sank a 4,000-ton warship, such an advanced weapon, not only the Qing Dynasty could not make it, even the Western powers, Britain, France, and Germany could not build it. But why did they stop attacking? With their strength, they can completely sink their own twelve warships. So he gave the order, reversed course, and withdrew from the battlefield.
"If we can also build such a weapon, then not only China, but even the world will be our Yamato nation!" He looked at the smoke coming out of the Beiyang Fleet from a distance, and thought silently in his heart.
The Beiyang Fleet, which knew nothing about all this, was supposed to protect the troop carriers, and they saw that the Japanese fleet had changed course and changed course, heading for its home port.
Seeing a fiasco disappear into invisibility, Lin Yuan felt a burst of joy in his heart, but this joy was quickly washed away by the thoughts that followed.
"Where do we go next?" Lin Yuan asked himself silently in his heart, he calmly pondered, the most magnificent and incredible big chess game in history was quietly formed, the chess players on one side are himself and the soldiers on the aircraft carrier, and the chess players on the other side will be Japan, Tsarist Russia, Britain, Germany, these powers! Winning or losing the chess game will determine the fate of the entire world!
Aircraft carrier "Beijing", conference room.
Lin Yuan urgently convened a meeting, which was attended by the chief officers of various subsystems on the ship, including the chief of staff, the radar chief, the captain of the carrier-based aircraft group, the chief of navigation, and so on.
Lin Yuan said straight to the point: "Comrades, I want to board the Japanese warship and negotiate with the commander of the Japanese fleet, Ito Yuheng. What do you think? ”
Since the reorganization of Sanwan in 1927, our army has always been a two-chief system at all levels, and on the "Beijing", Lin Yuan, as the captain, is responsible for military work; Political Commissar Han Mingguang is in charge of ideological and political work.
Han Mingguang is forty-five years old this year, and when Lin Yuan first took office, he also muttered in his heart, twenty-eight years old, too young, but after working for a while, he found that Lin Yuan's ability far exceeds that of his peers, and he can always see things that ordinary people can't see, and he can always come up with new ideas to solve difficulties. And this young man doesn't have to pick and choose, he often said when chatting with his old comrades-in-arms that Lin Yuan, a young man, is so good that he wants to marry his daughter.
When Han Mingguang heard Lin Yuan's words, he asked, "You want to negotiate with them?" What to talk about? ”
Lin Yuan smiled: "I want to persuade you to surrender." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present had this feeling: "The captain is crazy. "On the opposite side is the wolf-like Japanese fleet, how can they surrender! The most dangerous thing is to walk among the embarrassed and angry Japanese who have been damaged and sunk a warship, and there is no doubt that they are in the mouth of a tiger.
"No! I absolutely disagree with this scheme! Han Mingguang, the political commissar of the "Beijing" ship, said categorically.
Lin Yuan glanced at Han Mingguang quietly, turned his head, and looked at everyone present, Lin Yuan asked, "What do you think?" ”
Lin Yuan saw that no one was talking, so he said, "Do you disagree?" ”
Still no one spoke, but Lin Yuan read the disagreeing expressions on everyone's faces. Lin Yuan turned his head to look at Han Mingguang and said, "Political commissar, please come out for a while." ”
Han Mingguang hesitated and followed Lin Yuan out of the room, and after five minutes, Han Mingguang walked into the conference room and said, "I agree with Comrade Lin Yuan's opinion. What do you think? ”
Everyone saw that the commissar nodded in agreement, and although they were puzzled, they nodded in agreement.
Lin Yuan glanced at his watch and said, "It's twelve o'clock, everyone will take a lunch break as usual, and the comrades who repair the deck will overcome it, and don't rest for the time being." Turning course and pursuing the Japanese fleet. Let the flag bearer prepare and inform the Japanese warship of the news that I am going to negotiate. I'll leave at seven o'clock in the evening. Let's dismiss. With that, he left the conference room.
Lin Yuan walked to the closed room, Shen Wanqing was locked inside, he knocked on the door gently, and Shen Wanqing's crisp voice inside responded: "Please come in." ”
Lin Yuan pushed open the door and saw Shen Wanqing sitting on a chair, playing with the handcuffs that should have been handcuffed to her wrists, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Good skills." ”
Shen Wanqing didn't think that Lin Yuan would come in person, she had received systematic and professional interrogation and counter-interrogation training, and she knew very well that it was impossible for Lin Yuan, a person like Lin Yuan, who had no experience in counter-espionage, to ask for any useful information from her mouth.
After listening to Lin Yuan's question, she sneered in her heart, wanting to win my favor with a compliment, this method is too rudimentary. She didn't speak, just nodded.
Lin Yuan smiled: "The agent training of the National Security Bureau is quite mysterious, I haven't seen any of you, do you train martial arts or something?" ”
Shen Wanqing smiled disdainfully and said, "Of course." ”
Lin Yuan asked, "Then how is your kung fu?" ”
Shen Wanqing looked at Lin Yuan and sneered: "You are like this, ten, you can't get close." ”
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Come with me on a mission, okay?" ”
Shen Wanqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What task?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled: "You agreed?" At six o'clock, I asked Zhang Hua to pick you up, and you can ask him for any equipment. After speaking, Lin Yuan smiled and walked out.
At seven o'clock in the evening, a helicopter carrying Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing left the aircraft carrier and flew to Japan's new flagship, the "Hashidate" ship, in the vast night.
Everyone who knew about this couldn't help but wonder what the captain wanted to do? ”
