Shen Wanqing asked, "Is there any way to make the Russians compromise as soon as possible?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "The Russians are now twisted into a rope with the European powers, and if we can break their alliance, the Russians will definitely submit to us, even if they don't give in to us, they will not be as strong as they are now." ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "But what can we do to break up their alliance?" ”

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "This is exactly what I think about day and night, and I don't have any good way." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "I don't think it's as good as this, let's gather everyone, and then have a discussion meeting, let everyone think of a way, what do you think?" ”

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't think it's better to be like this, if there are too many people who know about this matter, the news will definitely leak and spread to the Russians, and they will definitely come up with some new tricks." ”

Shen Wanqing nodded, Lin Yuan took everyone back to the hotel, and everyone in the hotel heard about Lin Yuan's performance during the negotiation today, and they all danced happily, and said: "Our Lin Shuai is really amazing, just clean up all the foreign devils, we have to celebrate and celebrate!" ”

After winning two battles in a row, Lin Yuan didn't want to ruin everyone's interest, so he said: "We will have a party tonight, everyone will prepare a lot of wine and food, and have a good time." ”

Wang Genbao and other chefs began to prepare to eat and drink, and at dinner time began to party, everyone talked and laughed, and everyone was still in high spirits at ten o'clock in the evening, at this time, Prime Minister Cecil's special envoy came to Lin Yuan, this special envoy was the one who told Lin Yuan last time that Queen Victoria had gone to the southern port city.

As soon as the envoy saw Lin Yuan, he handed him an invitation, and the strange thing was that this invitation only had Queen Victoria's invitation on it, but there was no specific content of the invitation, Lin Yuan was very strange, and asked: "Why don't you write out what I was invited to do on this invitation." ”

The envoy said: "What exactly is to be kept secret, you are ready to prepare, we will leave the day after tomorrow, not only you, but also the ministers of various countries in Britain have been invited." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, I understand, but you should always tell me where we're going, right?" ”

The envoy smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you last time?" We're heading to Plymouth, a port city in the south of the British Empire! ”

"What do you say? Plymouth! Lin Yuan couldn't help but shout out in surprise.

The envoy smiled and said, "That's right, it's Plymouth, is there anything strange?" ”

Lin Yuan shook his head lightly and said, "No, no ......"

The envoy didn't say much, so he took his leave, and as soon as the envoy left, Shen Wanqing walked in and asked Lin Yuan, "Have you finished talking to that envoy?" The people down there are still waiting for you to sing. ”

Lin Yuan said: "The Queen of England invited me to a place, but she didn't tell me what to do. ”

When Shen Wanqing heard Lin Yuan say this, she covered her mouth and laughed evilly, and said, "So that's the case, it means that the queen likes you and wants you to have a tryst with her!" ”

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Queen Victoria is almost eighty years old this year, where can she still have that mind!" And what surprised me the most was the place I was invited to go – Plymouth! ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "Plymouth, is there anything special about this place?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a solemn face: "This is the shipbuilding base and naval base of the British Navy, in our time, this is an important British nuclear submarine, conventional submarine manufacturing and maintenance base, so I suspect that Queen Victoria invited me to go, it must be related to the navy." ”

Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "Then you should be happy, isn't one of the main purposes of your trip to Europe to find out the development of the European powers?" Let's go, don't stay here alone, the party is still waiting for you. ”

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Actually, it's hard for me to sing ......"

The next day, Lin Yuan took Shen Wanqing and Xu Jingcheng to set off, accompanied by the British Prime Minister, together to the port city of Plymouth in the south of England, taking the express train, it took less than a day, Lin Yuan and others arrived in Plymouth, just arrived in Plymouth, someone informed Lin Yuan that Queen Victoria would entertain envoys from various countries at the Royal Navy Hotel in Plymouth.

Lin Yuan and the other three got up and came to the Royal Navy Hotel, in the banquet hall, the three of them met Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria was seventy-seven years old at this time, but her health was still very good, according to the British arrangement, the envoys of each country only had ten minutes to talk to the queen, and Lin Yuan was arranged at the back.

Lin Yuan watched the envoys go up to talk to the queen one by one, and said to Shen Wanqing, "Do you know the way? Queen Victoria is known as the 'grandmother of Europe', the current German Emperor Wilhelm II is her grandson, the Russian Tsar Nicholas II is her grandson-in-law, and the Spanish and Swedish royal families are inextricably linked......"

Lin Yuan told Shen Wanqing about the interesting relationship between the European royal family, and soon he went to see Queen Victoria, Lin Yuan stepped forward, and after the two sides saluted, Queen Victoria first said: "I heard that France has agreed to return Chinese cultural relics?" I think the same should be true of our British Empire. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Britain is the country that robs the most Chinese cultural relics, and France can only rank second, I still have to find an opportunity to bring up this matter, since you take the initiative to bring it up, it will be the best." So Lin Yuan said: "That's right, those cultural relics are our treasures in China, and I hope your country can return them to us." ”

Queen Victoria smiled: "Very good, I will return some of the royal treasures to you first, and museums around the country have collected some, so you need to find them yourself." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and agreed, and then asked, "I wonder what is the matter with Her Majesty the Queen of the Dao asking us to come here?" ”

Hearing Lin Yuan's question, Victoria turned to the maid next to him and said, "I'll just say it, Mr. Lin Yuan will definitely ask this question too, I want to keep some mystery for you, and you will naturally know the Tao tomorrow." ”

Lin Yuan said two more gossips, and the prime minister on the side said: "Her Majesty the Queen is very old and needs to go back to rest, please forgive Mr. Lin Yuan." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, and then returned to his seat, the dinner was not interesting, Lin Yuan was like a stranger to the envoys of other countries, and he didn't talk much, and the result was that Lin Yuan tasted all kinds of delicious food.

By the next day, the mystery would finally be revealed. Lin Yuan got into the car under the arrangement of the British side, and no one told him where he was going, and after about ten minutes, Lin Yuan heard the friendly and familiar sound of the sea outside the car window, as well as the crisp chirping of seagulls.

At this moment, the car stopped, and someone opened the door for Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan looked around, only to see the sea in the distance, there were warships moored, and nearby, there was a large tall factory building, and the British Prime Minister said to everyone: "This is the most important purpose of our trip, to participate in the launching ceremony of the new ship of the Royal Navy Shipyard in Plymouth!" ”
