Chapter 31: Confrontation with Hirofumi Ito

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Lord Ito, why are you angry about Lu? ”

Ito Hirobumi deserved to be an outstanding diplomat, he quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Lord Hayashi, if we really want peace, we can still talk, and if we ask for a price like yours, do we have any need to continue talking?" To restart the war, neither the Emperor of our country nor the Holy Lord of your country will be able to agree! ”

Lin Yuan said: "The Korean Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and if you want to win a war, you need a navy, so I wonder if Ito-sama will be able to put together another fleet in a few days." ”

Hirobumi Ito knew that Lin Yuan was the captain of the mysterious ship that controlled the combined fleet, and he knew that it was useless for him to pretend to be tough in front of Lin Yuan, and he said: "Lord Lin, the Qing and Japan are neighbors separated by a strip of water, and during the last peace talks, Lord Li also said so, and our two countries need to maintain dignity for each other in order to reconcile in the long run. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Where did this contract not leave dignity for the Great Japanese Empire?" ”

Ito Hirobumi scolded angrily in his heart: "You robber! He wants our Great Japanese Empire to cede land and pay compensation, and he also said that he will leave us dignity! But he couldn't show it on his face, he just smiled and said: "Just talking about this compensation, Ku Pingyin is 20,000 taels, such an amount is really unreasonable, and I hope Lord Lin will give us a detailed list, what kind of military expenditure can be used 20,000 taels?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Our Qing Dynasty has a vast territory, and it is extremely difficult to turn over soldiers and horses, so the transfer of soldiers and horses costs a lot of money, such as Song Qing's Yi Army, Song Qing is the governor of Sichuan, and the soldiers and horses are transferred from Sichuan to North Korea. ”

Ito Hirobumi also knew that Song Qing's residence was in Lushun, and when he saw Lin Yuan say this, he knew that he was deliberately asking for a price, so Ito Hirobumi said: "20,000 taels is too much, and we in Japan can hardly bear it!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "If you fight again, you will definitely spend much more money than these." ”

Hirobumi Ito said: "Our land in Japan is small, the people are poor, and 20,000 taels is really difficult to support!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Since the Meiji Emperor changed the law and reformed, Japan has been changing with each passing day, and in just a few years, a huge fleet has been built, which shows Prime Minister Ito's means to enrich the country and enrich the people, I believe that these 20,000 taels of silver are not difficult for you." ”

Hirobumi Ito said, "If Lord Hayashi has the ability to get these 20,000 taels of silver, why don't you please be the prime minister?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Since 20,000 taels is too much, why don't Ito-sama say a number, so that we can return to the Holy Heaven and consider it again." ”

Ito Hirobumi said with a smile: "The matter of compensating for military expenses requires me to be presented to the emperor and then make a decision, and it seems too unreasonable to ask me Japan to cede Okinawa Prefecture, Okinawa is my inherent territory of Japan, and my subjects are all descendants of my Amaterasu, how can I make the Qing Kingdom?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Why is Lord Ito pretending to be confused, Okinawa was originally a Ryukyu country, and it has always been a vassal of our Qing Dynasty, and Japan forcibly occupied it, and now we want the Japanese government to return it, what's wrong?" ”

Hirobumi Ito said with a smile: "Ryukyu is a wild land, with the help of our great Japanese empire, it has become more and more civilized and civilized, and now leaving our Japanese empire is like a baby waiting to be fed leaving its mother, and Lord Wanglin thinks about the people of Okinawa." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "If you want to talk about civilization and enlightenment, I have been civilized in China for thousands of years, why can't I teach the subjects of the Ryukyus, Lord Ito is too worried." ”

The two sides exchanged words and exchanged words, but to no avail, and had to adjourn the meeting for a while, and the meeting was scheduled to take place a day later.

Ito Hirobumi returned to the station, and the attendant brought him a glass of water, Ito Hirobumi slammed the water cup on the ground, and the attendant did not dare to clean it, so he walked out of the house silently.

Mutsu Munemitsu and Ito Youheng were both here, their mood was extremely dull, Mutsu Munemitsu first said: "We have suffered a lot of humiliation in the negotiations this time, all because our combined fleet is now controlled by Lin Yuan, we have no sea dominance, the Beiyang Fleet is now starting to operate at the mouth of the Taedong River, and entering and occupying Pyongyang is just a gesture." ”

Ito Youheng, as the commander of the combined fleet, felt that his face was gloomy, so he had to turn his head, Ito Hirobumi saw his embarrassment, and said: "Commander Ito don't have to be sad, you are also thinking about the Great Japanese Empire, after all, that Lin Yuan has the ability to directly attack Tokyo, if it weren't for Commander Ito's humiliation, I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would have died now." ”

When Ito heard this, he felt that his face was shining again, and he said, "I have made a plan, and I believe that we can turn defeat into victory!" ”

Ito Hirobumi also sneered: "The Qing court still wants us to cede land and pay compensation, and if we want to get the United States, we just won't agree, do they have the strength to attack the Japanese mainland?" Not to mention the Japanese mainland, even Okinawa, they don't have the strength to take it down! ”

Lin Yuan heard all this in his ears, and he sneered in his heart: "You see if we have the strength to take Okinawa!" However, he remembered Ito's words, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, thinking, "They have a plan, what is it?" ”

It wasn't until late that Shen Wanqing came back with Tang Fan, Tang Fan looked sullen, and after a brief greeting to everyone, he went back to sleep, and after Lin Yuan saw it, he asked Shen Wanqing: "What's wrong with Reporter Tang, he was dumped by the princess?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "Dumped, how is it possible?" Today, reporter Tang has been a photographer all day, and his Leica M9 is estimated to have never taken so many photos in one day. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Did you go to see Princess Yunlan's family today?" ”

Shen Wanqing covered her mouth and smiled for a while, and said, "Of course, will he take a picture of me for a day?" I have to go back and watch him lest he steal my electricity. ”

Shen Wanqing said and returned to her room, Lin Yuan wanted to ask her about the plan to rescue Yun Lan's family, so she followed, walked to the door, saw that it was late, embarrassed to go in, and froze at the door, Shen Wanqing smiled and said: "We are all people of the twenty-first century, if there is anything, come in and talk about it." ”

As soon as Lin Yuan came in, Tang Fan followed him and asked Shen Wanqing with a smile: "Agent Shen, can I borrow your power bank to charge my camera?" ”

Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "This is the last time, you can't borrow it anymore, my listening equipment has to rely on it for power." ”

Saying that, Shen Wanqing took out a small box and handed it to Tang Fan, Tang Fan went back with a smile, Lin Yuan looked at the box with a blank face, Shen Wanqing explained: "This is an electrical energy storage device, which uses the electromagnetic field generated by the superconducting coil to store electrical energy. ”

The so-called tokmak device is a device that produces controllable nuclear fusion, because the temperature of nuclear fusion is extremely high, it needs to reach tens of millions of degrees Celsius on the earth, and no material can withstand such a high temperature, so it uses an electromagnetic field to control the plasma of nuclear fusion in the air, which is the tokmak device.

Lin Yuan said happily: "So, our country has conquered controlled nuclear fusion?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "I don't understand this, do you want to ask me how to transport Yun Lan and their family out of Lu?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Do you agents know how to read minds?" That's what I wanted to ask. ”

Shen Wanqing said: "I have already inquired today, the Japanese government's control over their family is still relatively strict, and there are people secretly following them when they enter and exit, so I plan to use disguised means to let Shangtai get out of the way." ”

When Lin Yuan heard the word disguise, he suddenly thought of the scenes in those martial arts novels, and Shen Wanqing said again: "Tang Fan is unhappy because of this, because the materials I brought are only enough to disguise a person." ”
