Li Kongrong said that the anger came up, the Swiss Research Institute found all the personnel with the help of Yan Keats, and the matter was done quickly and well, but some domestic schools, such as acquaintances and posts, were also brought in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 During the Anti-Japanese War, the government stopped funding for general scientific research projects, and many professors and scholars in China had a very hard time, but the emergence of the Xinzhong Company led the attention of domestic intellectuals to Switzerland, and they hoped to obtain a certain degree of funding, and it was best to open a research laboratory in Switzerland. The projects they applied for could not be said to be unnecessary, but the resources were limited, and Li Kongrong had always been very nervous about setting up new research projects.

However, the investment in the Yanhuang Rice project declared by Ding Ying of Zhongda (the original name of the project was hybrid rice, but Li Kongrong changed it to Yanhuang Rice and forbade the project team to mention the word 'hybrid') is so huge that the domestic people are so hot that they also want to have special cars, independent research laboratories and special funds. The snowflakes of the project application report generally fly from China, Wei Ru is better, Yan Keats is a veteran of the scientific world, and he can't get over it for the sake of people and face, so he keeps asking Wei Ru to add a research room, according to the list they prescribed, this is to clone the domestic Academia Sinica to Switzerland. But this is not what makes Li Kongrong the most angry, the most angry thing is that someone wrote a report to the National Resources Committee to put the New Zealand-China Research Institute in Switzerland under the jurisdiction of the Academia Sinica.

The Singapore-China Research Institute is a private institution, while the Academia Sinica is a state-owned institution. The former is based on profit, and the war is for the purpose of the Anti-Japanese War, and the researchers in each research laboratory have project shares, which can be distributed after industrialization; The latter is an image project of the Nationalist Government of Nanjing, which is framing the international reputation, and most of them are 'second-class dealers' with frightening academic qualifications and unparalleled papers, who are engaged in the work of "nationalizing" foreign Bibles under the banner of winning glory for the country.

Thinking of mixing with such an incompetent institution, Li Kongrong really had the heart to dismantle the Swiss Institute. Before, he just read the report, and the approval on the document was written after calming down, but now in the face of Wei Ru's report, his hatred was revealed in front of him. At this time, Wei Ru and Lu Mocheng knew that Li Kongrong was so opposed to the expansion of the research room, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.

"The research of turbojet engines depends on Professor Ye of the Metallurgical Research Laboratory, if he can study nickel-based heat-resistant alloys, then the project can be established, for this reason the intelligence department will also find a way to collect this information, but remember not to be ambitious, the metal is not up to par, no matter how advanced the engine design is, it will not help."

In the silence of the inner cabin, Li Kongrong himself talked about the turbojet engine project. After scooping up the wreck last year, a lot of new research laboratories were added to the Swiss side, and the heat-resistant metal research laboratory led by Ye Zhupei, a domestic metallurgical expert, was one of them, but Li Kongrong did not explicitly say that this was preparing for a turbojet engine, and the plan in his mind was that after the H-19 helicopter was built, he would carry out a treasure hunting operation for the German jet engine research institute - use the helicopter to send special forces to snatch the jet engine research data and the actual engine, and then use the airport without the need The Boeing 314 seaplane, which had an extra-long range, was shipped out.

"Okay, I'll ask Professor Ye when I go back and see how he's progressing." Wei Ru smiled, and Li Kongrong was not angry just now.

"I'm a person who has a bad temper sometimes." Li Kongrong took the initiative to talk about his temper, "But he is still right about things and not about people, and he is not about people." Thinking of some bad habits in China, and then thinking of the Japanese occupation of Wuhan and Guangzhou, and the collapse of the Anti-Japanese War, I can't wait for all the projects in the laboratory to be completed, and then go to Japan with full staff......"

"Hansheng, don't be too impatient, the War of Resistance is by no means a one-day victory." Wei Ru saw Li Kongrong confiding in his heart, and immediately comforted him. "Don't we have a submarine? Now the Japanese still don't want to know, but they will definitely win the battle if they return home. ”

"Yes, the Ninghai used to make the Japanese anxious, and now they are even more afraid of this submarine." Lu Mocheng also opened his mouth, and he stood up and said. "I was shocked when I saw this ship, and it really wanted to hide under the water, no matter how many ships were going to be sunk by it."

"Report, oxygen and supplies hoisted." Li Kongrong didn't know how to react in the face of their deliberate comfort, but fortunately, Lin Zhun came to report, and with the efforts of all the staff, oxygen and supplies were quickly loaded onto the submarine.

"This is Lin Zunzhi." Li Kongrong introduced Lin Zhun to Wei Ru and Lu Mocheng, but did not elaborate on his position on the boat. "Diesel is already being pumped, right?" He asked.

"Diesel is pumping, I see that there are two pumps, and I plan to change the fresh water, I can catch up with the time." Lin Zhun didn't know what Wei Ru and Lu Mocheng did, but he guessed that they were from the Xinzhong Defense Company.

"It's fine." Li Kongrong nodded, after the fresh water ran out, he began to use the snow water on Hope Island, and now that he has time, it is okay to change to fresh water from Norway. "How long will it take?"

"Fresh water can be pumped quickly, and diesel fuel will take about an hour." Lin Zhun reported back that when he saw that Li Kongrong did not invite him to sit down, he did not enter the cabin, but stood near the door.

"Pay attention to the surroundings, if there is an abnormality, we will immediately cut off the oil pipe and dive immediately." Li Kongrong commanded. Although there are few ships sailing in the Arctic Ocean, it never hurts to be careful, and in order to prevent accidents, the submarine's batteries are full.

"Yes." Lin Zhun said yes and turned around and left the cabin. Li Kongrong thought of this merchant ship again, so he asked, "Brother Ziba, will you return to the ship immediately after we leave?" ”

"Of course not. We will be at sea for more than ten days, and when you are safe, we will return to the Netherlands. Wei Rudao.

"It won't be necessary for ten days, you can return three days after we leave." Li Kongrong silently calculated some itinerary in his heart and gave a time. In three days, even fifteen knots, he could sail south of the Faroe Islands, at the exit of the North Sea. As long as luck is not bad, it will be difficult for Germany to search for a submarine in the Atlantic.

"Five days." Wei Ru was worried that Li Kongrong hadn't gone far enough, so he said a time. "There is a radio station on board, and the institute can telegraph if there is anything. And it's a rare opportunity for us to sort out our thoughts on the ship and see what we need to adjust on the research side. ”

"Okay." Since he did not delay the affairs on the Swiss side, Li Kongrong was not reluctant. Five days plus the time to return to port, by that time he was already thousands of nautical miles away. "The engine thing is ......, in addition to metallurgy, there is another thing to talk to Lu Jingyun, that is, the later R&D and production of the engine will be put in the United States."

The engine project was originally in charge of Zhou Maobai, but after Li Kongrong and Zhi Bingyuan discussed last year, Zhou Maobai was transferred to the United States to manage the shipyard, and Lu Jingyun, who had just come from China, took over the work.

"Okay, I'll discuss with Jingyun when I go back." Wei Ru agreed. When he saw Li Kongrong standing up and wanting to go out, he hesitated in his heart for a moment and finally said: "Hansheng, during this time, the country is chasing the United States very closely......

"Chasing hard?" Li Kongrong wanted to go out to the deck of the fishing boat to have a look, but he couldn't help but smile when he heard Wei Ru's words.

"Yes. Some people in China probably wanted to take possession of the US New China Defense Company for themselves, and after discovering that things were not working, they began to pursue the Japanese cruise ship. Wei Ru said the news he had heard, and he was deeply ashamed of the behavior of those people. Ai Chau came to Switzerland last month, and he told me about it. ”

"It wasn't easy for that cruise ship to cross the Panama Canal, so she sold it to an American company early on and changed its ......," Li Kongrong recalled Ryuta Maru's information, thinking about it but unable to speak.

This is not to say that the cruise ship going to the United States will be intercepted by the Japanese Navy, but that there is a great legal risk for the Tatsuda Maru to go to the United States - US President Roosevelt does not recognize the actual war between China and Japan, so according to international law, this cruise ship cannot become a legal catch of the Chinese Navy, once Japan knows that the cruise ship is converted in the American shipyard and initiates a lawsuit, the US government based on a neutral position is likely to expel the cruise ship. If the cruise ship leaves the country, in addition to sinking itself, it will be intercepted by the Japanese Navy, and neither result is what Li Kongrong wants.

"Will the government really do that?" Wei Ru looked at Li Kongrong's solemn expression and was silent, and Lu Mocheng next to him asked.

"They can't do anything." Li Kongrong smiled, "They want to use the cruise ship to force us to obey." But I don't believe in this evil, if they want to make the cruise public, let's make it public, it's a big deal to fight a lawsuit with the Japanese. ”

"Lawsuit?" Wei Ru was taken aback, and thinking about it carefully, this is the truth.

"yes, a lawsuit." Li Kongrong nodded, and took a big gulp of the cigarette. "Even if we can't win, we have to drag it out, just drag it until the Tatsuda Maru is launched, the Japanese Navy can't come to a labor expedition, Tatsuda Maru is on this side of the Atlantic."

"It's good if there's a way, it's good if there's a way." Wei Ru was also quite worried about this matter, it can be seen that Li Kongrong is confident, and he will not remember it. But what he didn't know was that even when he returned to the submarine, Li Kongrong kept thinking about Ryuta Maru with a straight face. Three days later, just after U-38 passed the Faroe Islands, he asked Lu Ruping to send a telegram to New York to inquire about the Tatsuda Maru.

Sitting in the rooftop office of New York Defense Company on a sunny summer day, you can not only see the bustling city, but also see the green Central Park of New York. Sweeping his gaze over everything downstairs, Lieutenant General Chen Jiliang moved his gaze to Yu Xuanji, the consul general of New York, and Major General Zhang Dingfan, vice minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, who were sitting opposite him and Lin Xianxi. Yu Yanji is okay, everyone has been familiar with it before, and many times they still eat together. Zhang Dingfan, however, had just arrived from China, and his visit was the first formal negotiation between the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and the Preparatory Office for the Reconstruction of the Navy.

“…… To this day, the cause of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China is struggling, but the navy has started a new way and insisted on rebuilding its fleet, which completely disregarded the party and the state and abandoned 40,000,000 compatriots in fire and water, and should be severely punished. The President and the Supreme Military Council ordered the Navy to cancel the reconstruction plan with immediate effect and transfer its resources to the Supreme Military Council, and asked them to do so immediately. ”

Zhang Dingfan was excited to speak at length as soon as he came up, he was an old man in the Whampoa period, he was the chief of staff of the General Headquarters of the Northern Expedition during the Northern Expedition, and he talked about the Northern Expedition from Xinhai to the Northern Expedition, and from the Northern Expedition to the War of Resistance, as if he was giving Chen Jiliang and Lin Xianxi a political lesson, and the words that followed only made Lin Xianxi laugh, but he did not speak immediately, but Chen Jiliang opened his mouth first.

"Vice Chief Zhang, Ji Liang was hit in the waist by shrapnel from a Japanese plane during the Jiangyin Naval War the year before last, and he came to the United States just to see a doctor and recuperate. Of course I want to rebuild the navy, and I have said that I support it, but how can I rebuild the navy as a commander? ”

Chen Jiliang pushed three, six and five, Yu Yanji couldn't listen to what he said, and Lin Xianxin was even more desperate, he pointed to the blue cloth shirt on his body and said: "Vice Minister Zhang is afraid that he misunderstood, the Admiralty has long been revoked, and I, the director of the Navy Ordnance Department, have long since retired, no, retirement is not, my military status has long been gone." What's the use of you talking to me, I don't have the right to ......"

As if it was sarcasm, Lin Xianxin was saying that he had no power, when the secretary outside the door suddenly knocked on the door and said: "Mr. Lin, this document needs to be signed by you immediately, Boeing has agreed to our offer, but we need to wire a deposit ......of two million US dollars immediately." ”

"Put it here, I'll sign it later." Yu Xuanji finally couldn't help laughing, but Zhang Dingfan's face turned black with anger. Lin Xianxin continued casually: "The affairs of the navy should go to Chongqing, I am only an employee of the Xinzhong Defense Company now, and I am also dealing with company affairs." But as far as I can say, the navy is still laying mines in the country, what kind of fleet to rebuild, and it is most appropriate to change the name to Jiang Army......"

"The Supreme Military Commissar did not approve the rebuilding of the Navy!" Zhang Dingfan knocked on the table angrily, "You guys are treason at all." ”

No matter how angry Zhang Dingfan is, this is not Chongqing, Chen Jiliang just drank tea quietly as if he didn't hear it, Lin Xianxi looked at the contract with Boeing to order 314 seaplanes, which was the first time that the Navy ordered planes in a big way.

"I said Brother Shiying," Yu Yanji had to make a round and said, "The country is now in a difficult war of resistance, and the slow rebuilding of the navy does not mean that the navy is not important, if the Japanese are defeated and the Japanese navy ships are captured, won't the navy be rebuilt?" ”

"If you can't hold it, how can you defeat Japan?" Chen Jiliang put down the teacup and asked, which made Zhang Dingfan's whole body tremble. "I said, I'm just recuperating in the United States, and the affairs of the Navy have nothing to do with me."

"Don't look for me, I've long lost my military status, and the affairs of the Navy have long been forgotten. Let's talk to someone else. Lin Xianxin followed, not glancing at Zhang Dingfan.

"You ....... On behalf of the Military Council, I formally order you to return the Japanese cruise ship that was captured to the Military Council immediately, as it is the property of the Chinese Government and not the private property of a certain group. Zhang Dingfan showed his killer feature, and asked for Longtian Pill in front of Chen Jiliang and Lin Xianxi, no longer just asking someone to convey it indirectly like before. (To be continued.) )
