Chapter 10 Trash Fish
The microwave oven is indeed the product of the brain-opening of Ito Yoshi, the person in charge of the research and development of multi-cavity magnetron in Japan in World War II, and the manufacturing process also used mice and death row prisoners to do experiments, and he planned to use microwaves to shoot directly at the B-29 bomber at an altitude of 10,000 meters, which is also a World War II version of the electromagnetic cannon. Unfortunately www.biquge.info these facilities were blown to pieces by B-29 bombers before they could be put into use, and after the war, it is said that the drawings were captured by the U.S. military and eventually turned into microwave ovens.
Under the pretext of a real microwave oven with a Japanese-made multi-cavity magnetron, the Japanese can always be fooled, but whether the Japanese magnetron is feasible is also a big question. But Li Kongrong had no choice, either stealing the British, or stealing the Japanese, it was better to steal the Japanese. This thing is not to be used by the fleet, but to be used by the V1 missile - in case the inertial navigation device cannot be developed, then it depends on whether the active radar can be installed, but this is a big project, it requires countless manpower to study, the cost of pounds is difficult to measure, and there is a possibility of failure.
Li Kongrong began to feel that he had no money again, and that the only cash bovine penicillin project did not even have a single researcher, and the 60,000 pounds of funds in his hand might not be able to withstand it for a year, and he had to get some more money.
"What about Jewish things? If I left Europe. When Li Kongrong was thinking about money, Susan looked at him with interest - maybe money was an important reason for attracting her, but she was very curious about what the man in front of her wanted to do and what he could do.
"You don't have to be in a hurry about things in Japan, you have to stay in Europe for a while, at least, an Italian company has to have a faΓ§ade, you have to hire a few people, you have to rent an office building, and you have to pretend to be a serious company: someone answers the phone, someone handles the telegraph, and you have to get in touch with military and government officials. In the meantime you can recruit some Jews through your previous connections - the machines and materials from Munich are about to be shipped to Switzerland, and it would be better if someone is already studying them in Switzerland before you go to Japan. β
Li Kongrong had a headache when he talked about this matter: he has no one! Zhong Qiangong went back to China, Susan went to Japan, and there was no one around him. The only feasible strategy is to find someone from the naval cadets to go to Switzerland to be responsible, but who is better, Jiang Jing or Qiu Zhongming?
"Lee, I wonder what the hell we're doing?" When Lee Kongrong had a headache, Susan asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
"We?" Satisfied with the title, Lee said: "We are now involved in the preparation of a great aircraft company, similar to Junkers and Fiat, and the technology required by the company is in every corner, and Japan is one of them. Susan, sometimes people respect you if you don't have money, and only when you create a miracle will others be happy with you.
The most precious thing of a person is life, and life belongs to a person only once. A person's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction; In this way, at the end of his life, he will be able to say: 'My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world - to become a great capitalist.' ββ
When I was a child, I memorized this paragraph of Chinese class too well, and Li Kongrong was crooked when he spoke. Susan was not moved by his lyricism, she was a person who cared about practical benefits, and after Li Kongrong forcibly lyricized, she asked, "Then what do I get?" Eight percent? Four percent? I think this question must be clarified in advance. β
"You've gotten enough!" Li Kongrong's voice raised a few points. "After the matter in Japan is completed, we will discuss this issue, and in addition, I promise that if Mr. Takano has any more news, he will let you negotiate with the Chinese."
Susan Esposi's news raised Susan Esposi's spirits, and in the rest of the conversation she stopped talking about things that Lee Kongrong didn't want to hear, but spoke seriously about the Jews.
"Lee, Jews are not hard to find, you are an embassy official yourself, and they will come to you like a tidal wave if you want to." Susan smiled and said that this was actually the money-making idea she had thought of before - to sell visas in partnership with Li Kongrong.
"You mean...... Visa? Li Kongrong also thought of this question for a moment, and the most urgent thing for German Jews was visas.
"Yes, a visa can sell for up to a few hundred pounds, and as long as you can convince the ambassador that the Jews don't want you to look for it, they will come to you on their own initiative." "You just need to let them know that you have the visa in your hand." β
"Nope." Li Kongrong immediately shook his head, "At least not for the next few months." β
"Then give them some hope, and if you want, I can get their head right away." "They're also willing to pay a pretty good amount of money for it." β
"No, it's not about the cost." Li Kongrong pondered the issue of Jewish visas, although this would bring him fame in the future, but Cheng Tian was too bold, and it would definitely not work to issue visas indiscriminately before Sino-German relations. "Even if it could, it would only be in small quantities." He finally added.
"How many?" Susan hurriedly asked, in her opinion, selling visas is second only to selling intelligence.
"I don't know." Li Kongrong didn't have a bottom, "I don't think it will be more than a hundred copies a year." Moreover, I am not an ambassador, I have to convince the ambassador. β
"Li, can you help me issue visas to these people?" As she spoke, Susan took out an envelope from her purse, and on the yellowed piece of paper were seven or eight names written on them, which was probably a member of the family. "When I first arrived in Germany, Mr. Hoffmann's family helped me, and now they want to leave Germany, so they ......"
"Mr. Hoffman, helped you?" Li Kongrong picked up the list and looked at Susan with suspicion, suspecting that she had received the money.
"Yes. Absolutely true. Susan nodded, and she said solemnly, "I swear to God, it's not about money!" β
"I can try it, but I don't necessarily get a visa." Li Kongrong hesitated for a moment before putting away the piece of paper. "But I don't want you to tell me again in the future that there is any other gentleman who has helped you."
"Of course, I promise." Susan was relieved to see that Li Kongrong agreed to try it, "When can you give me news?" β
"Tomorrow." Li Kongrong thought of Cheng Tianfang, and said a few more words before leaving. After he returned to the embassy, he found that Cheng Tianfang did not go back to the apartment, but was waiting for him.
"How? What did Goering say? Cheng Tianfang got up to greet Li Kongrong when he saw him, he was really afraid that he would mess things up.
"I went to Goering's villa, the castle in the suburbs, and met his wife," said Li Kongrong, "and he was not upset, but he had some advice for us." β
"What advice?" Cheng Tianfang looked cramped, he was confused by Goering's arrogant appearance, and he didn't know the other side of Goering.
"What other advice," Li Kongrong smiled bitterly, "he suggested that we should make peace with Japan at any cost, stay away from the Soviet Union, and exterminate the Communist Party." He said it was true, and it was for our good. He also said that we were going to cut off the supply of arms, and then I said that the result of cutting off the supply of arms would be that we would be completely dependent on the Soviet Union, and at the same time stop exporting minerals to Germany, which would be detrimental to German industry. β
"Dude, you're so bold." Cheng Tianfang shook his head, the truth was this, but he didn't dare to say it.
He just smiled, and he continued: "I also said that it was not smart for Germany to force China to its enemy, the Soviet Union, for Japan, and then I said that Japan had no other allies except to form an alliance with Germany, that he was isolated in the international community, and that he was waiting for Germany to defeat Britain and France, and then he could take over the British and French colonies in Asia." There is no need to treat such a country as Italy. β
"Well said!" Cheng Tianfang rubbed his hands excitedly, and he asked, "What did Goering say?" β
"Goering said he would think it through." Li Kongrong told the truth, and after saying Goering's stubble, he took out the piece of paper in his pocket and said, "I have a friend, please, can you issue a few visas?" β
"Jews?" Cheng Tianfang guessed what was going on without even looking at it. "Dude, isn't this fun?"
Although Cheng Tianfang said that it was not fun, he still took it in his hand, and Li Kongrong saw that it was easy for him to take it, he smiled and said: "I am entrusted by others, and I have no way to ask for my brother's side, can I do it?" β
Seeing that there were only seven people above, Cheng Tianfang nodded and said, "For your brother's sake, you can do it." However, the next does not ......"
"There will be more in the future." Li Kongrong interrupted his 'no exception' and asked Cheng Tianfang to only hold his glasses. "Here's the thing, the navy is going to open some research projects in Europe, and now the country has gone to find people to come over, and the students are also selecting available people, and the Jews, there are many Jewish scientists and professors in Germany, and they have been squeezed out, and the navy is ready to find some Jews to study weapons, which requires visas."
"How many people are there?" Cheng Tianfang heard that it was official business, so he was a little relieved, and he was worried that Li Kongrong was selling visas outside.
"A few hundred." Li Kongrong said a number, which startled Cheng Tianfang. "How can there be so many people?!"
"Even if it's a hundred, plus their families, it's not a few hundred." Li Kongrong said with a smile. "These people don't have to go in a month, they can take months or even a year. Nowadays, embassies are issuing visas to Jews, and there are hundreds of visas a month, but we only issue a few hundred a year, which is not outrageous. β
"The German government is definitely going to protest!" Cheng Tianfang is still not at ease. "They hated the Jews to the core......"
"Shall I talk to Goering about this matter directly? Let him nod? Li Kongrong retreated and asked for the next word. Domestically, I also asked the Admiralty to communicate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Now that China and Japan are at war and the country has fallen, our diplomacy with Germany is anti-Japanese, and inviting Jews to study weapons is also anti-Japanese, and issuing visas is also anti-Japanese. β
In Cheng Tianfang's eyes, Li Kongrong is a person with a lot of energy. The words he spoke to Goering won Kong Xiangxi's appreciation, and he also made miraculous contributions to the War of Resistance against Japan, and it is said that the chairman of the committee asked about him. Now hearing him bitterly talk about resisting Japan, he is not good not to give face, he said helplessly: "I know my brother's difficulties, but you also have to know my difficulties, now the Germans are not satisfied with us, and there are even rumors in China, saying that I don't know etiquette to wipe the dishes at the German state banquet, wipe it once and wipe it a second time, which makes Hitler very unhappy, I really want to issue too many visas, and I don't know what to say in China." β
Cheng Tianfang said the rumor against him with a bitter face - a certain Hitler state banquet, all the envoys from various countries were invited, after Hitler finished speaking, before the meal, Cheng Tian picked up a napkin to wipe the tableware, Hitler was furious when he saw it, and immediately asked the waiter to change the tableware; After changing the dishes, Cheng Tianfang went to wipe again, and Hitler was furious again, not only letting people change the dishes again, but also complaining about the Chinese, while the British ambassador sitting next to Cheng Tianfang whispered to Cheng Tianfang that the dishes could not be wiped indiscriminately, these were clean.
I really don't know when this kind of rumor got up, Cheng Tianfang wanted to cry without tears. He is also from a wealthy family, and he will not pause on the table with chopsticks, and these subordinates have already cleaned up. Hitler's state banquet was so grand, and the utensils were all antiques, so why should he be stupid to wipe any dishes. In his opinion, these are rumors from those who are dissatisfied with him, or some people have taken a fancy to the position of ambassador to Germany.
The words stopped slightly, and Cheng Tianfang thought about it and said: "As long as your brother can convince Goering so that the German government will not protest, I will issue visas here casually, but my brother must not collect money, just because the province will be caught." β
"Convince Goering?" Li Kongrong's mind was suddenly no longer here, and he instantly figured out an important joint in his plan -- how would he open up the situation in the United States in the future? How to get help in the Chinese-hating American society? Even, how to get financial assistance? It all fell to the Jews. The Japanese can make a puffer fish plan, why can't they make a trash fish plan? Chang Kaishen has no problem there, he still has a follow-up intelligence plan, he will definitely nod. The key is the Nazi side, or the key is Hitler, but how can you convince Hitler?
Li Kongrong returned to normal after a slight distraction, and he said: "It may not be useful to convince Goering, this matter must be persuaded by Hitler." I'll find a way to convince him. β
Since Li Kongrong said yesterday that he could tell hexagrams, Cheng Tianfang began to feel that he was a little different from others, and now seeing that he was a little chattering, Cheng Tianfang was not surprised. He turned to ask: "Brother Hansheng, instead of focusing on the Jews, you should spend more time on Sino-German diplomacy, which is related to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War." β
"The Jews are also concerned about the overall situation of the war of resistance! Because of the German-Japanese relationship, Sino-German relations cannot be solved no matter how they try to find a way, but the Jews are a side branch to Germany, and on the contrary, they can make some achievements and gain some unsatisfactory gains. Li Kongrong said something that Cheng Tianfang didn't understand, but he felt that his eyes suddenly opened up. (To be continued.) )
