Lin Yuan smiled and said to Chen Fei: "Don't worry, anyway, I'm going to announce our plan soon." For your sake, I'll give you a spoiler. ”

Lin Yuan continued: "Now our aircraft carriers need to find a port to dock, although Lushun, Dalian, Weihaiwei and other places are all excellent military ports, but we are such a 100,000-ton giant ship, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Beiyang Naval Division, so we decided to change a place to take shelter for a while." ”

Chen Fei frowned and asked, "We are the great benefactors of the Beiyang Naval Division, they are too late to thank us, how can they suspect us?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Don't forget, now we are in the past, in this world, the Beiyang Naval Division has not failed, we have all read history, Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, forced away the naval expert Lang Weili for the officialdom battle, if we go, there will definitely be no less trouble." ”

Chen Fei said: "These messy things in the officialdom are too annoying, captain, you just say where we are going, right?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "I thought of a good place, Keelung Port in northeast Taiwan. ”

This name Chen Fei is very familiar, in order to cope with the best situation, the Marine Corps has studied Taiwan's ports, Keelung Port is a natural harbor, where the water depth is more than 20 meters, far exceeding the full draft of the Beijing ship, which can dock a 100,000-ton ship.

Lin Yuan said: "Taiwan is already a province of the Qing government at this time, but the Qing court's control over it is far from enough, so we can obtain a relatively relaxed development environment there. Moreover, there are also abundant fishery resources there, and we don't have enough food on board. ”

Chen Fei said with a regretful face: "In that case, when we get there, we won't be able to beat the devil!" ”

Lin Yuanha laughed, Chen Fei was stunned by his laughter, and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "When we get there, we will fight the devils even harder!" ”

Chen Fei said: "I know that Japan once attacked Taiwan, but after the failure, it did not station troops there. ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "When the time comes, you will know the truth, and now there is a glorious task to be handed over to you." ”

Chen Fei hurriedly stood up and said, "Guarantee to complete the task!" What kind of mission do you say? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Just now Ye Zhichao sent us a telegram, we want to negotiate with the Japanese together, I will bring a few comrades with me, you will be responsible for security work, this time, we will sign a treaty of Shimonoseki for the Japanese to lose their power and humiliate the country!" ”

Chen Fei hurriedly replied yes, and the two of them went their separate ways.

According to Lin Yuan's plan, all the warships of the combined fleet were captured by the Beijing ship, except for the sunken Songdao ship, the Itsukushima ship, the seriously injured Fusang ship, and nine warships, all of which will follow the Beijing ship to Taiwan's Keelung Port.

For example, in the power system, although the Beijing ship uses a nuclear reactor as the power, most of the comrades in the power system of the Beijing ship have experience in using steam turbines, because the last generation of aircraft carriers of our army used steam turbines as power, and although the steam turbines of the Liaoning, the last generation of aircraft carriers of our army, are much more advanced than the steam turbines of these warships, but the basic principles are much the same, and the soldiers and engineers on the Beijing ship have seen those machines that have only been seen in the history books, and they are fresh and excited. It didn't take long to master the method of operation.

There were relatively few problems with the navigation system, and although the soldiers on the Beijing ship were accustomed to having the help of navigation radar, the methods of astronomical navigation were basic for seafarers, so it did not take too long.

Despite this, there was still a shortage of manpower, so Lin Yuan decided to select some people from the Japanese prisoners of war as assistants and arrange them in those necessary but alternative positions, such as filling the boiler of the steam engine with coal, and so on.

The economic speed of the Beijing ship is 18 knots, at this speed, the most energy-saving, but this speed has exceeded the maximum speed of most Japanese warships, fortunately the Beijing ship uses nuclear power, so these energy consumption can be ignored. So the Beijing ship sailed at a speed of 10 knots, trying to stay in the field of view of every Japanese warship.

There are also key chart issues, the charts mainly include shore shapes, islands, reefs and water depth and other information, the charts used on the Beijing ship are drawn in the 21st century, in this hundred years, the sea conditions will change, for example: coral reefs can grow at a rate of 5 centimeters per year, then a hundred years, enough to change the water depth by 5 meters, the water depth of the East China Sea generally does not exceed 200 meters, the water depth of 5 meters, enough to make the Beijing ship face the danger of running aground and running aground.

Lin Yuan quickly thought of using the Japanese charts, but he couldn't use the Japanese charts to take a look, because the Japanese mainly fought in the Yellow Sea this time, and most of the charts they carried were from the Yellow Sea, and there were only a few charts in the East China Sea, and the scale was too small, and the scale was small, indicating that the map was not accurate enough. And the most important coastal and port charts are almost zero! The hydrological situation of the harbor and the coast is the most complex, with narrow waterways, reefs, and man-made structures.

So Lin Yuan organized the comrades of the navigation department to discuss and decide, turn on the active sonar on the ship, test the sea conditions, and turn on the active sonar, which is very dangerous in modern warfare, the ocean is like a dark room, both the ship at sea and the submarine in the sea are in this room, whoever turns on the active sonar is equivalent to turning on the flashlight, and the position is exposed at once. But now the enemy doesn't have submarines, so there's no need to worry about that.

The preparations were made for ten days, and during these ten days, Lin Yuan finalized the personnel who went to Japan for negotiations, including Chen Fei, Shen Wanqing, Zhang Hua, and two comrades from the action group of the Secret Department, as well as Tang Fan, the reporter who had reported Shen Wanqing before, insisted on recording this exciting historical moment, so he also followed. A group of seven of them went to Tianjin to make peace with the Qing government's mission.

The negotiators of the Qing court were Li Hongzhang and his adopted son Li Jingfang, Ye Zhichao recommended Lin Yuan to Li Hongzhang, saying that he was an unborn genius, so the Qing court still valued their people, plus Lin Yuan's people, there were a total of thirty-five people, and they soon went to Japan.

As has happened in history, the negotiations between the two sides took place at Chun Fan Lou in Maguan, a famous local restaurant known for its puffer fish cooking, surrounded by beautiful scenery.

After experiencing the Battle of Toshima, the Battle of Asan, the Battle of Chenghuan and the fiasco of the Battle of Pyongyang, the negotiators of the Qing court all had sad faces, in stark contrast to Lin Yuan, they simply regarded this negotiation as a self-guided tour of Maguan, especially Tang Fan, the first thing he did when he got off the ship was to go to Chunfan Tower to eat pufferfish.

It was already evening when they arrived, and the Japanese knew that Chinese literati and officials had the habit of living in temples when they lived in other places, so they specially cleaned up the Jieyin Temple near Chunfan Tower, arranged for them to live in, and the negotiations were arranged to be held at 10 o'clock in the morning the next day.

Lin Yuan and Zhang Hua lived in the same room, Zhang Hua snored like thunder as soon as he hit the pillow, Lin Yuan's heart was very excited, and he thought: "This time I can give the Japanese a big loss, see how I can sign a Treaty of Shimonoseki for the Japanese." ”

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but walk into the courtyard, just in time to see Shen Wanqing coming out, her slender figure was extremely charming under the bright moonlight, Lin Yuan couldn't help asking, "It's so late, where are you going?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "This is a secret, I can't tell you." With that, he gently pushed open the courtyard door and walked out.
