As a warship, it is normal to ask to inspect a civilian ship, but it is a bit unjustifiable to use weapons, let alone fire, which is already a hostile act.
At the moment when the US warship opened fire, there was indeed a moment of chaos in the bridge of the Pearl of the Sea. However, Captain Fu Jianhua's words gave everyone another reassurance: Hold on, one of our warships is nearby and is rushing at full speed.
Come on, these Americans won't succeed
own warship
To be honest, although the Lanfang soldiers have a relatively high status in Lanfang, the people on the bridge have never felt the loveliness of the Lanfang soldiers as they do now.
Move, move, no matter what, you can't let those Americans board the ship. Ultraman is also nervous when he starts to move. Success is already close at hand. Even if he puts his life on the line, he can't fall short.
Just when everyone in the bridge was preparing to fight to the death, Nikola Tesla came to the bridge along the safe passage.
Gentlemen, if it is because of me that these hundreds of civilians are in danger, then please hand me over. Nikola Tesla's expression was calm, as if he did not realize that if he was handed over, he would
What kind of situation are you facing?
Although the wanted order issued by Washington did not specify how to deal with Nikola Tesla, all those involved in the manhunt were given verbal orders: to be seen alive or dead.
So cold
But this is the consistent virtue of Americans.
What I can’t get, no one can get it
Ultraman obviously didn't think so, and the order Ultraman and the others received was very clear. As long as there was still a Lanfang agent alive, Nikola Tesla's safety must be guaranteed.
As for the shelling of US ships, ignore this. The Sea Pearl is a civilian ship, and the American shelling is only a deterrent. No matter what the reason is, as long as the Americans dare to bombard civilian ships, it is tantamount to the Americans attacking Lan Fang.
declare war.
Yes, the Pearl of the Sea is a ship registered in the Republic of China, but the Beiyang government of the Republic of China signed an alliance agreement with Lanfang in 1920. This alliance cannot be broken by the British and Americans. The Republic of China and Lanfang are truly of the same origin. Who knows?
Nothing can destroy this blood-thicker-water relationship.
Therefore, Ultraman's answer was particularly tough: Mr. Nicholas, don't worry, please go back to your room. This is the scope of our work, and we can absolutely guarantee your safety.
In front of Nikola Tesla, Ultraman didn't have to talk about fighting until the last moment. There was no need to act so tragic. Lan Fang had already proved his sincerity to Nikola Tesla.
Mr. Altman, I am very grateful to you and your colleagues for everything you have done for me. Since some things are irreparable, let me face it. Nikola Tesla does not want to implicate too many people.
.
Nikola Tesla may not have a noble personality, but he has a basic bottom line as a human being. Nikola Tesla has now been able to confirm that Ultraman is not a staff member of Lanfang Imperial University, but should be affiliated with
Lanfang Military, Nikola Tesla was very grateful to Lanfang for everything he had done for him. This proved that the Lanfang Government and Lanfang Military valued Nikola Tesla, and perhaps the legendary
King Lanfang, this has objectively proven the value of Nikola Tesla.
To be honest, Nikola Tesla was very interested in the legendary King of Lanfang. The King of Lanfang was the founder of Lanfang and the leader of Lanfang's science and technology industry. Nikola Tesla
I am particularly interested in the latter identity. According to Nikola Tesla, it is not difficult to build a country. After all, there are so many countries in the world, but it is not easy to become a leader in science and technology. The human population has
There are billions, but there are only a few people at the top of the technology pyramid.
If possible, Nikola Tesla hopes to have a face-to-face chat with King Lanfang. That would be a very interesting thing. Nikola Tesla is very sure that the relationship between him and King Lanfang
You will find many common languages.
However, there are always many regrets in this world. This is part of life. At the age of Nikola Tesla, he has completely understood this truth.
Please believe me, Mr. Nicholas, it is not irreversible. The Lanfang military is more determined than you expected, and the American ship is not as determined as you see. Ultraman is unmoved.
In fact, while Nikola Tesla was talking to Ultraman, the American ship did not stop threatening him.
However, it is not that the Pearl of the Sea did not respond. The Pearl of the Sea has been using loudspeakers to declare its course, declare its rights, and demand that the US ship immediately stop harassing.
While the Pearl of the Sea was shouting, the passengers on the Pearl of the Sea already knew what was going on. It was shooting and cannon fire. No one could sit still in the cabin. Among the passengers of the Pearl of the Sea were Chinese.
There are also Westerners. The Chinese may be a bit cowardly because of their weak position in the United States. Those Westerners are not polite. Many of them have crowded around the railings and pointed their middle fingers at the American ship and yelled endlessly.
It was still a bit far away, so the Americans probably couldn't hear what they were saying, but showing the middle finger is an internationally accepted gesture, and anyone could feel the anger of these passengers.
Perhaps it is precisely because of such turbulent public sentiment that Americans are a little restrained. Otherwise, you would think that Americans would really value the lives of Chinese people. Don’t be ridiculous. The United States is the only country in the world that has legislated racial discrimination against Chinese people.
That Chinese Exclusion Act is destined to become a stain that can never be erased in the United States. No matter when Americans talk about democracy and freedom in front of the Chinese, they can slap it in the face with this matter, and there will definitely be a slap in the face.
snapping sound.
Just as the US ship was firing, the Wei Qing was fifty nautical miles away from the Pearl of the Sea.
Fifty nautical miles is not a long distance. The Wei Qing is already moving at full speed. In an hour and a half at most, the Wei Qing will become the protector of the Pearl of the Sea.
Considering that the Pearl of the Sea is still moving forward, it will take less than an hour and a half.
Qin Zhiyuan was already anxious. When he learned from the telegram sent by the Pearl of the Sea that the US ship had fired its guns, Qin Zhiyuan clearly felt his blood rising and his eyes were a little swollen.
Well, to use a cultural word to describe it, this is called canthus tearing.
It is clear that if the US military dares to fire on civilian ships, we will regard this behavior as an act of war. If something happens to the Pearl of the Sea, Lan Fang will fight the US to death and Qin Zhiyuan will brazenly issue war threats.
This is the advantage of dictatorship. If you want to go to war with you, all you need is a word from the leader. Congress will
The role of Congress is how to implement Qin Zhiyuan's decision and how to mobilize the power of the whole society to win the war after Qin Zhiyuan makes the decision to go to war. There is no other choice.
Qin Zhiyuan knew very well that if this clear telegram was sent out, it would definitely lead to a serious setback in the relationship between Lanfang and the United States, but Qin Zhiyuan had no choice.
After Qin Zhiyuan made the decision to bring Nikola Tesla to Lanfang, Lu Zhengxiang once asked Qin Zhiyuan whether it was worth it.
Worth it or not, that's a good question.
From a national perspective, it is indeed a bit outweighing the gain to go to war for this old man who is already over seventy years old, because it will definitely anger the Americans, and the United States is currently the most powerful country in the world, because Nikola
It seems irrational for Tesla to offend Americans.
But from the perspective of technological development, doing anything for Nikola Tesla is worth it.
Before the 21st century, the scientific and technological development of the Republic was attributed to the collective strength. In fact, it was only in the 21st century, after many files were released after the confidentiality period, that people knew that there were so many people in the Republic.
father.
Qin Zhiyuan has always believed that the development of science and technology mainly relies on the leadership of leaders, and it really has little to do with ordinary researchers. It is difficult to find a three-legged toad, and there are many people with two legs. Ordinary researchers cannot do this.
There can be another batch, but Nikola Tesla has a few
Just one
Qin Zhiyuan has many things in his mind that Lanfang urgently needs, such as military walkie-talkies, jet aircraft, missiles, nuclear weapons, military satellites, etc., such as civilian mobile phones, computers, LCD TVs, high-speed rail, etc., etc. These things all require manpower to realize. If
Without external interference, with the advancement of science and technology, these things will indeed become a reality in the next few decades. But that is not what Qin Zhiyuan wants. What Qin Zhiyuan wants is for Lan Fang to lead all of this. What Qin Zhiyuan wants is Lan Fang.
Replacing the United States as the future superpower cannot be done step by step.
Nikola Tesla is not a god. Even if you get Nikola Tesla, these things cannot be done immediately, but Nikola Tesla is a symbol, just like the man who spent thousands of dollars to buy it.
What Qin Zhiyuan wants from the horse bones is this attitude, and how much Lan Fang can do for people.
With this attitude, I am afraid that no one will take the initiative to defect to Lanfang.
The period from now until the next twenty years is a critical stage. What Qin Zhiyuan has to do is compete with the United States. As long as the United States cannot recruit a large number of talents from all over the world as it did in history, Qin Zhiyuan will be sure to defeat the United States.
