With a "bang", the terrible collision occurred, and the stern of the McCarthy ship slammed firmly into the middle of the hull of the ship behind, and the two propellers in the stern were shattered at that time, and the boat behind was also hit very lightly, and the entire middle of the hull was dented in.

The worst thing was that the people on board, the sailors had already rested, they were all lying on the beds in the cabin, this collision shook them all down, although not to die, but each hit the head and blood, the nose and face were swollen, at this moment, another explosion sounded, it turned out that the bomb on the anchor chain behind the ship also exploded, the ship lost traction, and suddenly floated on the water.

However, the two ships were a certain distance from the third ship, so their drift on the water did not hit the third ship, and then the anchor chain of the third ship was also blown off, and the third ship, after drifting for a while, directly hit the berm on the shore, not only knocking the hull into a large depression, but also being stuck firmly on the berm and unable to move.

When McCarthy saw that his three battleships had suffered such great losses, he was furious and immediately ordered to find out the cause of the accident, and soon a soldier came to report: "The anchor chains of the three battleships are broken!" ”

When McCarthy heard this, he almost thought the soldier was joking, and when he stepped out of the cockpit and came to the bow of the ship, and when he saw the broken anchor chain, he was stunned, and he said to himself, "How can the anchor chain be broken?" When we set off, it was obviously checked, and it was intact, and there was not even a crack on it! ”

The envoy asked on the side, "Could it be that Lin Yuan sent someone to do it?" ”

McCarthy said, "How is that possible? How could they blow up our anchor chains, we had people monitoring the water last night, they couldn't have sent a boat, their people couldn't have come from underwater. ”

The messenger said, "Why can't they come down from the water, and if they swim under the water, won't they just be able to plant bombs on the anchor chain?" ”

McCarthy shook his head and said: "Impossible, as far as the Chinese's explosive skills are concerned, they can at most make black powder, and the humidity of black powder reaches fifteen percent, and it cannot be used, let alone in the water, it seems that we have encountered a supernatural event." ”

The people on the boat spent the night in fear, and early the next morning, Lin Yuan appeared in their field of vision on the Haixun type 1 ship, and then Lin Yuan boarded McCarthy's ship, McCarthy didn't have a good face when he saw Lin Yuan, and shouted at Lin Yuan: "What are you doing here?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I heard that your boat had a collision accident last night, so I came to take a look, for humanitarian reasons, we can also provide you with necessary rescue." ”

In fact, Lin Yuan was deliberately angry with him, and sure enough, McCarthy's nose was about to be crooked, and he glared at Lin Yuan coldly and was about to go back to the cabin, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Don't go, I'll inform you, we are going to escort those so-called Americans back to Mukden for trial." ”

McCarthy didn't care about the lives or deaths of those people, so he nodded indifferently, Lin Yuanyi stretched out his hand, and said, "Do you read today's newspaper?" ”

On this occasion, Lin Yuan suddenly came up with such a sentence, which really surprised McCarthy, he frowned coldly, and said angrily: "If you just want to talk to me about these trivial things, then I'm sorry, I'm very busy, I don't have time at all, you better go back." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Oh, I remember, you can't understand Chinese, so let's read it to you: Lin Yuan, the governor of the three eastern provinces, destroyed the opium manufacturing base on Changshan Island a few days ago, arrested more than 300 workers, and seized hundreds of thousands of boxes of raw and cooked opium, all of whom were Japanese......"

McCarthy couldn't help but frown when he heard this, he knew about the construction of an opium production base funded by the United States on Changshan Island, and once this base was destroyed, the goods worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and the millions of dollars in revenue in the future would be lost, McCarthy thought to himself: "No, I must inform the ambassador to China of this matter as soon as possible, so that he can come forward to solve this matter." ”

So McCarthy snatched the newspaper, glared at Lin Yuan angrily, and said, "The real purpose of your coming here is to tell me about your destruction of the opium base on Changshan Island, right?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, and McCarthy sneered: "Okay, we will soon deliver an official letter to your Prime Minister's Yamen, and then this official letter will be placed on your emperor's desk, and you can wait for him to remove you." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It seems that you really don't know anything about China, now the biggest official in the Prime Minister's Yamen is me, so all the official letters will be handed over to me, as for whether those official letters are handed over or not, I have the final say, do you understand?" ”

McCarthy was once again dumbfounded by Lin Yuan, so he had to say angrily: "You hurry up and leave, I still have a lot of official business!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Are you going to repair the anchor chain that was blown up?" Would you like us to help? ”

McCarthy was so angry with Lin Yuan that his face was blue, and Lin Yuan wanted to say a few more cool words, but he was afraid that he would ignore the dignity of the commander and pounce on him like a hooligan to fight with him, and he might not be an opponent, so Lin Yuan didn't say much, so he returned to his boat, thinking: "I should really learn martial arts or something in the future." ”

On the way back, Chen Qingyun asked, "Lin Shuai, why did you tell the Americans about this?" They're bound to come to you for trouble. ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I'm inviting you into the urn with this trick, and you will know the Tao later." ”

Three days later, someone came to report: American Ambassador Consin Thomas and British Ambassador Michael Jonas were visiting, Lin Yuan heard it and thought to himself: "These two people actually came together, it seems that Britain and the United States are going to join forces." Lin Yuan thought of a countermeasure and said to his entourage, "Please invite the two of them in." ”

After Lin Yuan finished his instructions, he sat at the desk, pretending to be out of the office, and as soon as the door opened, Lin Yuan immediately stood up, walked towards Jonas, and said: "Haluha, my old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to give you good news, I found out that the tax director of Yingkou Port, Asko, actually conspired with the Japanese to smuggle opium, and I have already detained him, waiting for you to deal with it." ”

Jonas was a little confused by Lin Yuan's words, but the American ambassador Thomas on the side spoke: "Hello, Governor Lin, we are here for this matter this time, as far as I know, you have illegally seized the belongings of our citizens, so I came this time to solve this matter." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, please take a seat." The three of them sat down together, and Thomas said, "I need to talk to you alone, and I hope Mr. Jonas will avoid it for a while?" ”

Jonas nodded, walked out of the door, Thomas said: "I also know that those things are opium, and I also know that it is illegal to sell opium, and the laws of your Qing Kingdom and the laws of our United States of America are not allowed, but you also know that in the world, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, so there is nothing illegal or not illegal, I came this time to let you return this batch of opium to us." ”
