Chapter 1321 Changed History

Let's say that after Fang Linyan left from Qiao's shop, he went directly to Wang Wu, and said apologetically:

"Brother, I really made you laugh at me today, but business matters are not going well. I thought I could bring the money back to Mr. Song today, but I didn't expect that there must be some accident."

Yes, it is estimated that there is still an hour left, and it will be July 1894, 7. In the history of Fang Linyan's control, the Gaosheng has sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago, and the bad news should have been transmitted along the telegram, but Until now there is still no news.
Then the biggest possibility is that history has been changed!
As far as this point is concerned, Fang Linyan actually predicted it, but once it really happens, the feeling of being out of his control is really a bit annoying.

But right now Lin Yan is forced to have no choice but to silently recite the words let nature take its course.

When Wang Wu heard what Fang Linyan said, he laughed and said:

"Brother Hu, I've heard about you before. It's about boys and teenagers, who hasn't done a few ridiculous things, as long as you know your mistakes and correct them."

"Besides, it's nothing to go out for nothing today. After all, we have nothing to do, so we just come to Chongwenmen as if we are full."

Wang Wu's words were light, but for today's matter, he actually negotiated a very good deal, that is, to escort a full-fledged official's concubine back to visit her relatives.

This kind of work is light and easy, there are rewards on the way, the other party offers a generous price, and the risk of being hijacked is also small. It can be said that you will never encounter it twice throughout the year.

But Wang Wu still simply dismissed the matter and looked at Fang Linyan, and he made up his mind not to take a penny. They were congenial, and no one said anything.

Fang Linyan nodded, and then took out two pieces of silver to pay for the tea. Wang Wu was determined not to accept it at this time, so Fang Linyan immediately changed his words and said to invite everyone to drink.

The big drink didn't end until midnight. Fang Linyan also put aside his worries at this time and got himself very drunk. Anyway, the drone and Laurent were watching for safety.

When Fang Linyan woke up the next morning, he realized that the sun was shining directly into his room. He wanted to ask a question, but he immediately realized that if there was any news, Laurent would be the first Notify yourself for a while.

At this time, Fang Linyan didn't have much mind to do other things. Although he didn't have an appetite, he still ordered food to be stuffed in--after being a space fighter for so many years, one of the experiences he summed up is that when he can eat, he must eat enough ——Because the situation is changing rapidly, there is no telling when the next meal will be!
After eating, Fang Linyan took a deep breath, took out his portable fitter's bench, and began to process the parts. At this time, he processed them by himself, and he felt that there were a total of seven perfect parts.

This is the advantage of not being overwhelmed by art. Although the powerful skill of the time of the moon has been temporarily forgotten, Fang Linyan has never forgotten the production of related mechanical cores, and if he wants to specifically summon more types of mechanical summons Creatures need different mechanical cores.

If it is called randomly, it is too uncontrollable!A very powerful creature like Huma the Lion King is a bit obedient. Fang Linyan doesn't like this feeling.

Therefore, Fang Linyan wanted to use these perfect parts to summon a powerful and controllable creature in the end. The benchmark is of course the strength of the lion king Huma and the character of Rubes.

Watching the component change little by little in his own hands, forming, and then marking, chiseling, sawing, filing, drilling, reaming, countersinking, reaming and a series of operations are all in an orderly manner. The mood quickly calmed down.

Time also passed with his movements, bit by bit.

All of a sudden, the door of the hotel was opened, and Laurent had strode in hastily. Obviously, he had obtained the latest news from his special channel, and Lin Yan nodded directly.

Fang Linyan's face relaxed, knowing that the news of the Gaosheng incident must have been delivered.

The Gaosheng incident is the escalation of the confrontation between China and Japan and the landmark event of an all-out war. It is also known as the Toshima Naval Battle. More than Chinese soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that the Gaosheng was a British merchant ship. When it was sunk, five British people on board also died on the seabed together, which caused an uproar in the UK.

It was also because of the Gaosheng incident that there was a wave of hostility against Japan in Britain, and Song Yuren's plan (directly attacking Japan with the help of British forces) was possible to implement.

"Master, compared with the situation you described, this battle has changed a lot." Laurent said straight to the point.

Fang Linyan said:

"How big is it?"

Laurent said:

"The naval battle of Toshima has been upgraded!"

Fang Linyan said in shock:
"The Kosho is an unarmed merchant ship. How can it be upgraded against the Japanese Naniwa? The Naniwa is a cruiser!! There are more than 70 main guns, rapid-fire guns, and machine guns on it, and there are four more Torpedo tubes."

Laurent said:

"The news I got here is that the Gaosheng has been remodeled. Not only that, but there is also a mysterious ship called Keshan that set off with the Gaosheng."

"So this battle was originally a battle between the Kosho and the Japanese ship, but in the end it became the Kosho plus the Keshan VS the Naniwa!"

Fang Linyan said in shock:
"There is such a thing!"

Laurent said:

"The information I received is indeed described in this way."

Fang Linyan took a deep breath:

"So the last battle was actually lost by the Japanese?"

Laurent said:

"After Naniwa was damaged, reinforcements were also called in. The two sides fought fiercely at sea for a long time. In the end, Kosho and Keshan were both sunk, but a torpedo boat that the Japanese came to reinforce was also sunk."

"More importantly, the Gao Sheng landed on a small island before sinking. The thousands of soldiers on board, and even about 8800 million U.S. dollars in pay, have all been transported to the shore. The British Jardine Company is very angry , has already started operating in the country.”

"Not only that, there were 37 members of the East India Company and [-] Russians on board the sunk Keshan. Now the entire international situation has become a mess, and the Russians are already clamoring for blood debts Blood paid."

Hearing this series of news, Fang Linyan suddenly felt dizzy.

In normal history, the sinking of the Gaosheng was actually an independent "runaway" behavior of the Japanese navy. At that time, the Japanese army had even shown a semi-independent state, and incidents on the lower grams often occurred.

Later, as long as the prime minister did not meet the wishes of the military department, he would either get out or be assassinated, so domineering!
The Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito at the time even learned about the Gaosheng incident from Shanghai's telecommunications, not from the Navy's report. The abnormal situation in the country can be seen.

The Japanese side directly carried out crisis public relations, and even spent money to bribe the British media, but in the end the matter was actually suppressed.Some voices in the United Kingdom believe that supporting Japan to fight against Russia is currently the most beneficial choice for the British Empire in East Asia.

And unfortunately, this part of the voice finally persuaded Congress with a narrow advantage and "ignored" Japan's offense.

But now, the situation is very complicated! !Both Britain and Russia are suffering, but the conflict of interests between Britain and Russia in Europe is very intense. It is impossible for the two parties to join forces to question Japan for such a trivial matter.

If Russia goes to war with the Japanese over this matter, Britain may have to give Japan great support.

Of course, no one cares about the feelings of Li Gongzhang and the Qing government, because in the eyes of the big powers, they do not deserve to have feelings
Fang Linyan narrowed his eyes, and he quickly realized that someone was trying to muddy the water and complicate things, but until now, he realized a huge possibility:
"If the Russo-Japanese War started earlier, wouldn't the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War be impossible?"

"If this kind of thing happens, then my main mission will be a complete failure! And the guy who has completely usurped the entire history beyond recognition will undoubtedly reap the fattest piece of reward."

"By the way, the essence of this time is a battle of nations! The camp is the color of skin!! The Chinese nation, the Tatar nation, the Japanese Yamato nation, the Western Germanic nation, the Russian nation in Russia, the English nation... between the various nations Everyone has their own demands!"

At this time, Fang Linyan checked the war progress bar again, and found a strange thing. After the Toshima naval battle, the winning rate of China jumped to 22.21%, while the winning rate of Japan dropped. At 68.79%, it adds up to exactly 91%.

So where did the 9% winning rate go?
Obviously, a third party has appeared, and this 9% probability of disappearing implies that the final winner of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-] may be neither China nor Japan, but a third party! !

After hesitating for a while, Fang Linyan shook his head and readjusted his thoughts to the status quo:

"Forget it, for now, the overall trend is still in my favor. The expansion of the scale of the Toshima naval battle will have a devastating blow to the shipping industry in the near future. If this is the case, the imported goods I hoard will rise It's bound to be bigger."

"No matter how the situation changes, the war between China and Japan, the dispute over luck between the Chinese nation and the Yamato nation will be at the core. I am a man, not a god. The international situation is ever-changing at this time, and it is impossible to predict the rest of the space. In the case of what the soldiers do, they can only carry out their own plans in a seamless manner."

After making up his mind, Fang Linyan was not in a hurry to go to the market at this time, and continued to work on machines (machines). The market now needs time to ferment, but he did not expect that two hours later, the waiter in front of the shop came and said there was a customer Come to worship, Fang Linyan rushed out to greet him, and found that it was none other than Song Yuren, Mr. Song.

After seeing Fang Linyan's face, he no longer cared about any interests, but said with a face full of shock:

"Brother's foresight is really brilliant. A few days ago, I heard you say that Japanese wolves are ambitious and unruly. They will inevitably fight our country within a few years. To be honest, I still feel that my good brother is a bit arrogant. I didn't expect them to be so arrogant that they wouldn't even spare the British ships!"

Fang Linyan smiled bitterly and said:

"Master Song has stayed in Europe for a long time, and he has never seen the cruelty and arrogance of the Japanese! I saw it with my own eyes, so I was deeply moved!"

"Maybe Mr. Song doesn't know much about the current situation in Japan. The people in the Japanese military department are already semi-independent from the government. Even someone with political skills like Hirobumi Ito can't completely control them."

Song Yuren has been abroad for several times and can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but he still expressed difficulty in understanding this, sighed and shook his head:
"It's really unimaginable."

Fang Linyan hesitated and said:

"Master Song should know Zeng Wenzheng Gong (Zeng Guofan) better?"

(After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was wiped out, the armed forces actually possessed by the Qing court were already very weak. Zeng Guofan founded the power in his hands and had 30 arrogant soldiers. It would not be difficult to replace it, but at that time the great powers surrounded him. He said The consequences of the emperor will inevitably cause China to fall apart, so I dismissed this idea)”

Song Yuren immediately said in awe:

"Of course."

Fang Linyan said:

"The situation of the Japanese military as a whole in Japan at this time is similar to the status of the ambitious/rebellious version of Zeng Wenzhenggong in the country."

Song Yuren took a breath and said:

"Is it such an exaggeration?"

Fang Linyan said:

"The actual situation should be a little bit too much."

Song Yuren sighed and said:

"I went back that day and thought about it. At first, I thought what my brother said was exaggerated. Looking at it now, the situation is probably more serious than what you said. If you really let it go on like this, the situation is critical!"

"Anything that is forewarned will be established, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. The strategy that my brother told me before is now at a time when it will be useful. I think it is time to prepare."

Hearing Song Yuren's words, Fang Linyan immediately understood what he meant, and said simply:
"Lord Song, don't worry, I already went to the market to urge the money yesterday, and I can raise 50 taels of silver to take away with you the next day at the latest. The next money will be transferred in through HSBC in the UK. It will be a big mistake.”

Song Yuren has also been in the officialdom for a long time. He knows that there are not too many big talkers now. Fang Linyan said before that he could raise millions of cash. Song Yuren actually discounted it in his heart. In fact, he felt that this young It would be nice if someone could help raise 8000 taels.

After all, looking at China for 5000 years, those who can generously contribute to state affairs, even those with impure motives, are nothing more than a few people such as Lu Buwei.
