Scholars in the courtyard.

Old Chen took a deep breath and looked gloomy.

"In such a large sea area, if we just order ships and tell the truth, is it worthy of the people's entrustment? Is it worthy of the country's cultivation?"

"This, isn't it embarrassing?"

"Sometimes, I dream about it. If I could sell my old bones and buy a big ship, I would be willing to die!"

The same is true for Zhang Wu on the side. Only by in-depth understanding can one understand the importance of large warships.

Holding the cup with his fingers, "From the beginning of this spring to now, we have lost a total of twenty-six outstanding comrades."

"Faced with warships that were several times larger than our gunboats, they were fearless and rushed forward, using cannons to fight bayonets and torpedoes to show their heroism!"

"Every sea we protect contains the blood of our soldiers!"

"But if, if we could have a bigger ship, we could shed less blood and retain more energy."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wu, a tough-minded man, had his eyes a little red.

Old Chen also sighed, "A century-old navy!"

“If a nation wants to expand its living space, it must go out!”

"We can't make the same mistakes again."

Yang Xiaotao held up the tea to suppress his inner emotions, "Master Chen, uncle, we will have a big boat."

"Destroyers, battleships, even aircraft carriers, these big ships, as long as we continue to move forward, as long as we don't give up and unite as one, these things will definitely be there!"

Yang Xiaotao said it for sure, because this will happen in future generations.

Zhang Wu nodded after hearing this, but he held the best hope in his heart.

Lao Chen calmed down and smiled, "Yes, Xiao Tao is right. We will have many, many big ships in the future. Let's go there for a tour when the time comes!"

"Let's see who dares to cause trouble!"

Hahaha

A few people were in a better mood and immediately talked about what they had experienced at sea over the years.

Zhang Wu was talking most of the time, and Yang Xiaotao listened carefully.

Battle after battle, battle of wits and courage, fearless charge and sacrifice, defending the sea frontier with blood.

While chatting, the phone suddenly rang. Yang Xiaotao got up and went to the study to answer it. The caller was Liu Huaimin.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao ran back again.

"Mr. Chen, the machinery factory has agreed."

"The machinery factory will produce four engines for you in the name of experiment."

"However, you have to arrange how to transport it back!"

Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Lao Chen and Zhang Wu both laughed.

"Don't worry, we will always have our people whether on the road or at sea!"

Immediately, the two confirmed the delivery time and stood up to leave.

They had to go back and make arrangements to get the engine in place as soon as possible.

"Xiao Tao, you helped us a lot this time. You came in a hurry this time. Next time, I will bring you some seafood as compensation!"

"Mr. Chen, what you said has gone public. If my master finds out, he won't know what to say about me!"

The two of them smiled, and Lao Chen approached Yang Xiaotao again and whispered, "I heard that destroyers also use diesel engines. On your side, be prepared!"

"Maybe it will be of great use."

After that, he got in the car and left.

Yang Xiaotao didn't come back to his senses until the others walked away. What did he mean by this?

Does this mean they need to build a bigger diesel engine?

If you think about it carefully, this is not impossible.

Although there are no ready-made engine drawings, he has a thorough understanding of the principles and technologies of large engines. As long as he is given time, designing it will not be a problem.

"Let's go back and take a rest!"

Lao Jin greeted from the side, "There are still guests coming tonight. You kid, have a good rest!"

Yang Xiaotao shrugged, not too enthusiastic.

However, he also understood that this was a kind of care from Lao Jin.

After all, many friends lead many paths.

After returning home, Yang Xiaotao went back to the house to rest for a while.

After getting up in the afternoon, I went to the study room to prepare the drawings for designing the car air conditioner.

……

Japanese country, Edo.

"Hezi, have you read this "Travel Notes on the Chinese Continent"?"

The bald old man put the report on the desk forward, and then looked at Kazuko Zhang, who was sitting on his knees in a kimono.

"My lord, I have already seen it."

Zhang Benwazi lowered his head, and his already exquisite figure became even hotter under the deliberate restraint.

The bald old man looked away, feeling that his body was not responding, and felt that he was still getting old.

"Say what you think!"

"Hi!"

Zhang Benwazi first bowed his head and saluted, and then said slowly, "This is an itinerary written by Shui Yuanfeng after returning from China. It records the experiences of going to China, and it is mixed with many of her thoughts and ideas. Claim.”

After Zhang Benhezi finished speaking, seeing that the old man had no intention of speaking, he continued.

"Here she highly praised the other party's democracy, praised the other party's revolutionary achievements, and even agreed with the other party's ideas of glorious labor and dedication..."

"Of course, the most important thing is that they think they should make good friends with him, even learn from his revolutionary spirit, join hands with him, and fight against the oppressive rule of the United States together!"

After Zhang Benhezi finished speaking, the old man showed an angry look on his face.

"Learn from China? Humph!"

"Hezi, remember, the people of Dahe will only learn from the strong, and China has fallen behind!"

"Hi!"

The bald old man was very satisfied with this, and then asked about the exchange group.

"How do you feel about being with that Hashimoto Sakae?"

"Sir, Hashimoto Sakae is an ambitious man. He participated in the exchange group this time purely to gain political interests and does not care about our relationship with China."

"Moreover, he is an extremely self-centered person, and the interests of the Dahe Nation are also not worth mentioning in his eyes."

Kazuko Harimoto did not say good things for him because of her super-friendly relationship with Hashimoto Sakae, but just said what she thought.

This is also the reason why after returning to Edo, the other party contacted her many times and wanted to continue 'cooperation', but she refused.

She has many guests, including this one.

What's more, it's still useless.

"Well, this person has high ambitions but low abilities. He is ambitious but has no ability. He is not worth mentioning."

The bald old man became even more angry when he thought about the lost game. For such a shameful thing to be publicized, it was simply a slap in the face.

Such a sinner still has the honor to live in the world, and committing seppuku is his only option.

He made arrangements for Hashimoto Sakae in his heart, and then looked at Kazuko Harimoto, "The news you got from your trip to China this time is very good. Let us understand the strength and development of the other party." "Especially about some of the personnel in China. Information research, very good.”

"Next year, I hope you can go there again and continue to explore useful information for the empire. At the same time, it is best to use your outstanding abilities to recruit more talents for the empire."

"Hey, Kazuko understands that Kazuko is willing to serve the empire."

"Well, if you think so, I'm very satisfied."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"Well, let's get down!"

Zhang Benwazi stood up and slowly retreated.

The bald old man moved his body and his eyes stayed on the travel notes.

I sigh in my heart that in just one generation, China has undergone earth-shaking changes.

If China becomes stronger, it will be a disaster for them.

After a long time, he shouted to the outside, "Call Maeda."

After a while, a stout Japanese man walked in with a respectful expression.

"grown ups!"

"Yeah. Maeda, have you seen it?"

Maeda glanced at the travel notes on the table with a ferocious expression.

This is a travelogue that has recently become famous in China. It records the situation in China, including politics, economy, and humanities. It also explains the high passion, values, and outlook on life of young people in China. It has aroused the interest of many young people, and it has Spreading very quickly.

This kind of advocating for the once weak made him feel ashamed.

When does an empire need to learn from the conquered?

Even if this conquered person possesses mushroom eggs that can destroy the world, so what?

Their great river nation is proud, sacred, and... backed by the powerful United States.

"Yes, sir! I have seen it!"

"These people are not worthy of becoming outstanding people of the river!"

"Please rest assured, sir, my subordinates will definitely deal with all these scum."

Maeda gritted his teeth as he spoke, but the old man shook his head slightly.

"Battling and killing will not solve the problem."

"Maeda, you have to learn to use your brain!"

"Hey, you taught me a lesson!"

Maeda immediately regained his composure and was extremely respectful.

"Since the birth of human thought, there have been differences. This is an unchangeable fact."

"You can't change a person's thoughts, but you can influence their thoughts."

Maeda was a little confused, looked up at the old man, and asked cautiously, "Sir, do you want..."

The bald old man glanced at them, and then said calmly, "These people, the empire still needs them to continue to confuse China, so they cannot be moved."

"But we must also provide reasonable 'protection', especially for Miss Shuiyuan Feng. I heard that she is still single. I think you can protect her personally and instill in her the excellent ideas of the Dahe people."

"Understand?"

"Hey, I understand, I will protect her now."

A violent impulse suddenly came from Maeda's strong body. He must let that ignorant girl who boasted about China know how powerful the imperial warriors were.

After Maeda left, the bald old man got up, dressed neatly and walked to the palace.

The white walls tell the history of the Dahe people, and the spacious tree-lined gardens make people feel the modern vitality.

Walking through the winding path and passing through the sea of ​​flowers, bursts of fragrance are exuded.

The hibiscus blossoms cover the entire wall, with bees jumping between the petals.

At the main entrance, the golden gate is inlaid with beautiful patterns, with exquisite details and rich oriental characteristics.

The bald old man came to the door. The waiter had been waiting for him for a long time. He opened the door and the old man bowed and walked in.

"Your Mightiness."

The bald old man came to a pavilion and bowed to the silver-haired old man waiting here.

"Shan Yuan-kun, please sit down."

The silver-haired old man stretched out his hand to invite. The bald old man cheered and sat across from him.

"Shan Yuanjun, what do you think of China?"

As soon as he sat down, the old man asked.

Shanyuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put it down and said with emotion.

"China has begun to rise."

"They have vast land resources, vast space, hundreds of millions of people, and a strong government."

"Their national consciousness is getting stronger step by step, and their self-confidence is rising bit by bit."

"This will be a very terrifying existence."

The silver-haired old man nodded, "Yes, the people in that land have been inheriting for five thousand years, and heroes have emerged in large numbers, leading the way for hundreds of years."

"Such a nation, once it has guidance, will have the opportunity to explode into terrifying strength."

"As neighbors, what we fear most is this situation."

Shan Yuan lowered his head. The closest they came to success was the last war.

It's a pity that they didn't take advantage of the other party's weakest moment to occupy that land.

Now imagine that if the other party has God's help, every time they are frustrated and depressed, a group of heroes will appear to turn the tide and help the building to collapse.

This is their sorrow.

Just like the oil fields in the northeast of the other party.

There is only two hundred meters left. As long as we go deeper than two hundred meters, the empire can regain its health, change its strategy, and embark on a glorious path.

But just this short two hundred meters put the empire on the road to defeat.

Sometimes he would wonder, are these two hundred meters the other side's 'god' protecting China?

Just as the bald old man was deep in thought, the silver-haired old man said, "Shan Yuan-Jun, we must do something for the future of the empire."

"Your Excellency, please advise."

The old man nodded, "China is developing rapidly and has a powerful army. Now it has the power to shock the world."

"But they are not without their weaknesses."

"This weakness is the navy."

"They started too late and that was our advantage and our only chance."

"So we must pay attention to their naval construction, and if uncontrollable situations arise, we must resolutely stop them."

"Especially, submarines, nuclear submarines. Do you understand?"

"Hey, I understand."

Shan Yuan reacted, his face serious, and he nodded quickly.

The navy is not something that ordinary people can afford.

But submarines, especially nuclear submarines, are a special case, an unreasonable special case.
