Chapter 1257: A Visit to Albert Einstein
Arrived in Berlin, Zhang Yi spent three days on the next cooperation between China and Germany, and Wilhelm II and the military and political elites from all walks of life exchanged views, now Zhang Xiaohuai after the British World War, more and more mature diplomatically, long sleeves and good dance, only three days to grasp these figures, there is no need for Zhang Yi to think much about it, the next signing of the contract will naturally have Zhang Xiaohuai to come forward, he has a leisure.
However, where is Zhang Yi idle now?
At this time, Zhang Yi, accompanied by Xue Zeyu, the minister of the Republic of China to Germany, came to the most famous Berlin University in Germany.
Xue Zeyu was the first batch of international students sponsored by Zhang Yi that year, and Liang Qichao and Tan Si went to Europe together, at that time he and Lin Xu both studied in Germany, and was a leader among German students, and later returned to China, Zhang Yi also attached great importance to him, and the relationship between Germany and China was the most important among the countries, Zhang Yi sent this tiger general back to Germany, with the help of his contacts in Germany, sorting out the relationship between China and Germany.
Zhang Yi is here for one thing, that is, to meet the famous Albert in the future? Albert Einstein, of course, is already a famous Einsian now, but now he is just a late-stage star, not a leading figure in the technology industry.
But even so, a figure like Albert Einstein, obsessed with academics, treats fame and fortune like dung, who cares if you are the emperor of Germany or the president of the Republic of China, and there is no academic intersection to see them, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky!
Now the problem arises.
Xue Zeyu came forward and jointly sent an invitation letter to Einstein with the German Ministry of Education, inviting Einstein to attend a Sino-German gala, when Zhang Yi of the Republic of China wanted to meet with Mr. Einstein.
But Einstein, who was devoted to academics, refused such an invitation without hesitation, not to mention the president of the Republic of China, even Kaiser Wilhelm II, Lao Tzu would definitely not accompany him when he was studying academics!
These academic maniacs are such awesome!
Zhang Yi, who got the news, had to be accompanied by Xue Zeyu to stage a play of Uncle Liu's three visits to the thatched house!
At this time, Zhang Yi came to the door of Einstein's laboratory, and his name had been announced. Can you get the reception of Einstein, the emperor of physics, just look at the door, it's really not good, then really come to the thatched house!
In the research room, Einstein was talking with the guests, and when he heard the news of the visit of President Zhang Yi of the Republic of China, his brows furrowed. The last thing he wants to deal with is politicians, and he is not interested in politicians who are far away in China. Waving his hand, he replied, "Forget it, just say that I am conducting academic research and have no time to meet him!" ”
At this moment, an assistant came up from another room and said, "Mr. Einstein, your telegram!" ”
Einstein frowned and said, "My telegram? Who sent it? ”
The assistant replied: "It was sent from the British, Zionist." Mr. Herzl. ”
Einstein heard this and took the telegram, he was not familiar with Herzl, but he was known for Herzl for a long time, and he devoted himself to Zionism and worked for the welfare of the Jewish people. Still amazed. Yes, he took the telegram.
Einstein turned on the telegram, his brows only furrowed, and he muttered: "That's it, if that's the case, this Zhang Yi." But I can't lose sight of one side, and I can't miss Herzl's big thing because of my temporary stubbornness......"
Einstein smiled apologetically at the guest and said, "Dear Professor Planck, I have an important guest to meet......"
The guest opposite was Planck, a great physicist who was still famous above Einstein, and Planck smiled: "Einstein, is that Zhang Yi?" ”
Albert Einstein nodded. He replied: "Originally, I didn't want to see him, but it was at this time that Herzl in England sent a telegram about this matter, asking me to meet him, this person strongly supports the Zionist movement of our Jewish people, and has accepted many Jewish compatriots in China, and is very interested in me. ”
Planck laughed and said: "Okay, Einstein, I won't tell you, in the past few years, I have long heard the name of the Chinese tiger, and in ten years, I have built a backward and ignorant China into a middle power, and it is indeed a character, I am afraid that except for Lord Bismarck, who has just died, I am afraid that there is really no hero who can compare, if you don't mind, I would like to meet you together!" ”
Einstein was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, why not?
Albert Einstein said, "You bring the guests to the parlor, and I'll wait for them over there." Planck, let's go, let's go meet this legend together! ”
Zhang Yi and Xue Zeyu came to the reception room, and there was a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa between them, a young man, the middle-aged man was extraordinary, but the young man was a little sloppy.
For the later generation of Einstein, Zhang Yi has seen his photos countless times, and he has long been familiar with it, but as for who this middle-aged man is, it is vague.
Before Zhang Yi could speak, Einstein preemptively said: "Minister Xue Zeyu, I have some impressions, this is President Zhang Yi, hello!" ”
Zhang Yi hurriedly replied: "Dear Mr. Einstein, Zhang Yi is not presumptuous, come to disturb, I hope you will forgive me!" ”
Einstein had a good impression of Zhang Yi's behavior, neither humble nor arrogant, generous in manners, quite the demeanor of a politician in a country, and worthy of a leader who has risen in recent years!
Albert Einstein smiled and said, "This is my good friend Professor Planck, I have heard of Mr. President's name, and I want to know Mr. President, please forgive me!" ”
Planck!
When I visited Einstein, I was able to meet the founder of quantum mechanics!
Zhang Yi's heart shook, he was surprised and delighted, and he had already begun to make up his mind and wanted to serve the two of them in one pot!
Zhang Yi hurriedly saluted, and Planck said a little politely and sat down.
Albert Einstein asked, "Mr. President, you and I don't know each other, so I don't know what you can do with this visit?" To tell you the truth, I don't think I would have taken our academic time to meet with you if I hadn't happened to receive a telegram from Mr. Herzl! ”
Herzl?
It seems that this signboard is really useful, even Einstein has to give some face, it seems that the first step has been successful, and then, it depends on how to fool this Einstein!
