662 International practice
Liu Guang thought of the limerick poem he wrote, and couldn't help but feel weak in his heart, and thought of Lin Yuan's words just now, and said: "I don't know how to use it yet." ”
Lin Yuan asked, "Haven't you learned the relevant knowledge of navigation?" Everyone shook their heads, and Lin Yuan said: "Navigation is almost inseparable from geometry, and trigonometry is needed when calculating distances, and spherical trigonometry is needed for astronomical navigation, so these things are also very useful." ”
At this moment, a combined whistle sounded downstairs, and Lin Yuan said, "Okay, you guys go to dinner, I should leave too." Lin Yuan came out of here, and then found relevant experts and asked them to compile a book of relevant applications in their fields and distribute them to the students to read.
When Lin Yuan came to the cafeteria, he happened to see Chen Fei and the students who grabbed him, Lin Yuan stepped forward, and everyone quickly stood up.
Lin Yuan motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said to Chen Fei, "Have you finished eating?" It's time for us to go. ”
Chen Fei wanted to talk for a while, so he said, "Can't you wait any longer?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Hurry up, the main event is about to start!" ”
When Chen Fei heard the word "highlight", he knew that Lin Yuan was going to make a big move, but it was not easy to ask in front of these people, so Chen Fei said goodbye to everyone, followed Lin Yuan outside, and asked, "What's the most important thing?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "I just received news that British Ambassador Thomas and the special envoy of the Russian Preparatory Committee for Negotiations Ilya have come to Mukden to communicate with us about the negotiations. ”
Chen Fei agreed, Lin Yuan and he quickly returned to Shenyang, and immediately after arriving in Shenyang, he went to see Ilya, Lin Yuan saw Ilya again, Lin Yuan looked at him and felt a little embarrassed, because he always tried to trick him again and again, and he didn't know anything.
Lin Yuan recovered the Outer Northeast, which Russia had painstakingly managed for decades, and also captured a large number of Russian troops to serve as cheap labor for the development of China's Northeast China, these things were regarded as a national shame by the Russians, but despite this, Ilya could not lose the demeanor of a diplomat, he smiled and greeted Lin Yuan, and the British ambassador Thomas was also smiling, and the talks began in a peaceful atmosphere.
Ilya first said: "His Majesty, the Emperor of the Russian Empire, attaches great importance to this negotiation, he not only set up a preparatory committee for the negotiations, but also personally served as the chairman of the preparatory committee. ”
Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Please convey my gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor for me, from us to the United Kingdom, thousands of miles away, there are two ways to get to the United Kingdom, one is to take the sea route, but this road is too far, from Guangzhou in the south of our country to London in the United Kingdom, there are nearly 10,000 nautical miles, with a speed of ten knots, it takes nearly a month and a half, not counting the time for the ship to stop to replenish various supplies, so I need to take the land route, take the land route, I must pass through Russia." ”
Ilya nodded lightly and said, "We also plan to do the same, we can open the Trans-Siberian Railway for you, and then you can get on the train from Hailan, and it will only take about ten days to reach Moscow." ”
In Lin Yuan's time, there was an international train running between Beijing and Moscow, so Lin Yuan was not surprised, Lin Yuan nodded, who knew that what Ilya said later brought out the smell of gunpowder, Ilya said: "You can go, but we must check what you are carrying." ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Checking the other party's things in diplomacy is ridiculous in the world, not to mention the exchanges between countries, even if others come to your house to talk about things, you don't have the right to check other people's things!" Lin Yuan thought of this, looked at Thomas, and saw that Thomas had a tacit expression on his face.
So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Special Envoy, this request of yours seems to be a little unreasonable!" ”
Ilica hurriedly smiled: "This is an international practice, we must check if there are any things in your belongings that may endanger our people." ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It's so ridiculous, haven't you been to other countries before?" It is also said that this is an international practice! However, Lin Yuan didn't say anything, but nodded calmly and said, "Okay, since it's an international practice, then we can follow it." ”
Ilya listened and thought, "Why did this Lin Yuan agree so happily, it seems that he didn't see through our plan." Then Ilya said: "The train will run in our territory in Russia for about 12 days, and during this time, we will be responsible for the safety of you and the negotiating team, and we will also provide food and water. ”
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It's good, I agree." ”
Ilya felt a little strange in her heart, and thought, "What happened to Lin Yuan today?" Why did he agree to all the conditions I proposed? He continued: "When we arrive in Moscow, we will arrange for you to meet our Emperor, His Majesty, and at the end of this meeting you will go with our mission to London, where we will pass through Warsaw and Berlin, and then enter France, and from France into England." ”
Lin Yuan frowned and said, "Why do we have to turn around and go to France?" We came out of Germany and went straight into Belgium, and from there it was not closer to England? ”
Thomas laughed and said, "You don't know what to do, but your reputation is now very famous in Europa, and our newspapers there call you the 'Napoleon of the East', so the French people want to see you." ”
When Lin Yuan heard the person "Napoleon", he subconsciously looked at Ilya, it was not a smart thing to mention Napoleon in front of the Russians, because Napoleon had invaded Russia, and the Russians burned Moscow with a fire, and used the tactics of clearing the field to knock him out.
However, Lin Yuan also heard Thomas's overtones, Napoleon was once defeated by the Russians, and Thomas compared Lin Yuan to Napoleon, which also had some hints in it.
Lin Yuan smiled faintly and said: "I am different from Napoleon, what Napoleon did was expansion and aggression, and what I did was only to protect my motherland from violation!" ”
Thomas and Ilya saw that Lin Yuan pushed the words back, so they didn't say anything more, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I have a request, I hope the Russian side can agree." ”
Ilya hurriedly asked, "What do you want?" Just bring it up! ”
Lin Yuan said: "I hope to be able to let our reporting team go to the UK first, what do you think?" ”
Ilya couldn't help but muttering in her heart, thinking, "What is the purpose of letting the reporter go first?" ”
Lin Yuan saw Ilya hesitate for a while, and said with a smile: "I didn't make it clear, reporters are just a part of it, there are many representatives of the business community here, and these people all hope to be able to do business with your country." ”
Ilya asked, "Then why can't they come with you?" ”
