949. Magnus
If it was just a scientist, then Zhang Chi didn't pay much attention to it, after all, at this time, the expeditionary force also had a group of scientists in its hands, and one or two scientists were of little value. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the correspondent reported that it was a group of scientists, and that the one who had come to surrender was only here to negotiate.
With a half-believing and anticipatory mood, Zhang Chi personally met with the young man named Magnus...... He looked like a German refugee who was busy trying to escape from France, which made Zhang Chi think that the young man wanted to survive so he said that he was a scientist.
"Excuse me!" The young man looked at Zhang Chi crampedly: "Are you the Chinese army?" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.
The translator added a sentence for Zhang Chi in his reply: "This is General Zhang Chi Zhang......"
The young man couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard this, looked at Zhang Chi in surprise, and then asked the translator with an expression of disbelief: "You mean...... He was the Chinese general Zhang Chi who defeated Rommel? ”
"Yes!" The translator replied: "Any questions?" ”
"No, no......" The young man was stunned for a moment before he stood up and tried to get closer to Zhang Chi, but was quickly stopped by the guards.
Zhang Chi motioned for the guards to relax, and then the young man had a chance to come up and shake hands with Zhang Chi: "I'm sorry, general, I have admired the name for a long time, I didn't expect you to be so young!" ”
"I didn't expect it either!" Zhang Chi replied.
The young man couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed involuntarily, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious in an instant.
"General!" Then the young man said in a formal manner: "Let me introduce myself, I am from the V2 rocket research and development team, and we want to ...... you To be exact, to surrender to the United States! ”
"Wait, you mean the V2 rocket development team?" Zhang Chi asked.
"Yes!"
"How many of you are there?"
"Five hundred!"
……
Zhang Chi couldn't help but half-open his mouth, and was stunned for a while before he asked: "So...... Von Braun ......"
"He's my brother!" Magnus replied, "He was the one who asked me to come to you!" ”
Zhang Chi was so excited that he almost jumped up, there is indeed such a thing in history, German rocket expert von Braun surrendered to the US military, not only surrendered but also brought a large number of research and development materials and even key components, so the United States had the "Mercury Project" and even manned rockets, and finally even completed the feat of landing on the moon for the first time in human history......
It's just that Zhang Chi has never believed that "the first human landing on the moon" is true...... The reason is simple, humans need a huge mechanism on Earth and a rocket with a lot of fuel to get out of the gravitational pull of the Earth, and similarly, on the Moon...... Although the gravitational pull of the Moon is only one-sixth of that of the Earth, wouldn't it be a joke if the humble lunar module of Apollo 11 could break away from the gravitational pull of the Moon?!
Another strong evidence is that in today's advanced science and technology, no country in the world can do human landing on the earth, but the United States did it in 69 years when there were almost no advanced electronic equipment...... Not even the United States can do it today.
Therefore, the so-called "first moon landing in the history of mankind" is more likely to be a hoax, a competition with the Soviet Union and a hoax that deceived people all over the world.
Whether the moon landing was a hoax or not is another matter, and it is very likely that what Magnus said in front of him is true, and it is also very likely that von Braun wants to surrender......
Zhang Chi guessed correctly, von Braun actually had the intention of surrendering to the United States for a long time.
This is not to say that he is unpatriotic, but that he thinks he has done what he should have done for Germany, and now, his judgment is that Germany has no hope of winning the war in this situation...... The Soviet Union on the eastern front and the Allies on the western front were already under the attack of several world powers, and even if it could develop weapons that were ahead of the times, it would not be able to change the outcome of the war.
Well, von Braun thinks it's time for him to plan for himself and his family.
As a result, von Braun held a top-secret meeting at the top of his team, and everyone agreed with von Braun's idea, and then considering that the United States has a lot of money and strength, so he hoped to surrender to the United States.
Then, von Braun made some preparations, such as finding an excuse for himself and his subordinates to send them to France, and deliberately left a lot of materials and key components...... There are as many as 500 boxes of information. Von Braun hopes to use this information and his R&D team as a bargaining chip with the United States.
Although von Braun is a scientist, he also knows very well that if he wants to have a way to live, he must have a place that the United States can use, and technological resources are his capital.
At this time, the German army only thought about resisting the attack of the Allies, where would they think of von Braun's fancy intestines, so they didn't even notice it at all.
Just when Zhang Chi fired a shot to attack Paris, von Braun took his R&D team and family to hide in the secret basement prepared in advance, and did not let his younger brother come out to contact the US military until the war was relatively calm.
Originally, everything went well, but Magnus encountered not the American army but the Chinese army, because at this time it was the Chinese army that attacked Paris.
Magnus, however, thought it made no difference, because he knew that the Chinese army was also under the command of the U.S. military.
But here it is different.
Of course, Zhang Chi will not let this piece of fat that reaches his mouth be sent to the United States like this...... Therefore, after listening to Magnus's account, he deliberately frowned and remained silent.
"General, is there any problem?" Magnus saw that Zhang Chi's face was wrong, so he asked nervously.
"No, no...... No problem! Zhang Chi said: "It's just ...... Are you really going to surrender to the United States? ”
"Yes!" Magnus replied, "It was our unanimous decision!" ”
Zhang Chi shook his head: "With all due respect, I don't think it's a good choice!" ”
"How?" Magnus asked.
"You know, the United States is an industrial powerhouse!" Zhang Chi said: "Their scientific research team and funds are very strong! ”
"Yes, we know!" Magnus replied: "This is also why we believe that we should surrender to the United States, because then we can continue our research...... The reason why we chose to surrender is that on the one hand, we really hope to continue to live, and on the other hand, we also hope to achieve greater results in rockets! ”
Zhang Chi can fully understand this, for scientists, this is the value of their existence, even the pursuit of a lifetime, just like those French scientists.
Sometimes, which country to work for is secondary.
