CHAPTER XIII
Meng Zhaoying is a young man in a suit and tie, wearing rimless crystal glasses that are different from the old professor, and his hair is combed, looking extremely modern. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info He has just returned from the United States for a year, and there are still some British and American styles in his speech and demeanor, for example, he is very strong when shaking hands, and when he speaks, he will habitually shrug his shoulders, and then sandwich a few words of English.
In the previous examination, Zhong Qiangong had the impression that he was very much like the British, the British spy who was saved by the commander and himself in Kiel. Because he was young, he asked the two professors, Zhuang Qianding and Gu Yuying, to speak first, and only when Zhang Boling talked about himself did he speak: "Lieutenant Zhong, what can I do to help the navy?" β
"This ......" there are too many people to say what he wants him to do, so he can only open the German document bag with a lock he carried, and find out the document of the radio project from it, which is actually a few thin pieces of paper, on which is Li Kongrong's brief description of the radar, not only introduces the principle and function of the radar, but also roughly introduces the transmitter, receiver, antenna, antenna transfer switch, high-frequency oscillator, modulator and synchronizer, indicator and other radar components.
Meng Zhaoying looked at it for more than ten minutes, it was cold and winter, his face was flushed, and finally he was very reluctant to return the document to Zhong Qiangong, he asked: "Lieutenant Zhong, who wrote this?" If this person understands the principle structure, it is not difficult to create a real thing? β
"This ...... This was written by Chief Lee. "Zhong Qiangong once again feels the omnipotence of his superiors, and this feeling is not only in Germany, but also in China." The chief also said that Britain, France, the United States, and Germany had already made real machines, and some of them had already been put into practical use. He also said that none of them would be revealed to our country, and that they were all hidden, even if we desperately needed such machines. Therefore, this can only be developed and manufactured by us Chinese, and he believes that what we can build can not only be made, but also better than them. Professor Meng, Professor Yan, and all the presidents recommend you, and I hope you can take over this project and build the machine as soon as possible. β
Zhong Qiangong finally performed according to Li Kongrong's teachings: inspire martyrs with invincible national pride. Under his encouragement, not only Meng Zhaoying, but even the three principals and four professors next to him were also greatly stimulated, and they all looked at Meng Zhaoying, hoping that he would agree immediately. Meng Zhaoying didn't agree, he was just too excited - Japanese planes ravaged China, and every bombing was full of casualties, and if this kind of radio-to-air detector was developed as soon as possible, the people would be able to avoid the suffering of bombing one day earlier, this was a hundred thousand urgent things, how could he not agree.
Meng Zhaoying stood up violently, he held Zhong Qiangong's hand tightly and said, "I'll take over!" I'm willing to take over! I'm ...... tomorrow, no, please let me finish arranging the student exams, and I'll go to Europe as soon as I'm done! β
"The whole Radio Research Institute is going together!" Zhang Boling is good at advocating, he is afraid that Meng Zhaoying will become a problem alone.
"This ......" Tsinghua President Mei Yiqi was more cautious, he added: "The ticket to Europe is expensive, it is not easy to live in Europe, and there is a large amount of research funds, so let Zhaoying choose his own people, try to be leaner, and save some is some." β
"It's up to Professor Meng to choose someone." Zhong Qiangong first smiled at Zhang Boling, and then nodded to Mei Yiqi. "The radio project is a big project, and the Admiralty has temporarily set the number of researchers in this project at 30, of which 15 are for domestic researchers and 15 are for overseas students and foreigners. If that's not enough, then add more staff and focus on research. β
"So many people?!" Everyone was taken aback, they thought that only three or five people would be great, and they didn't want the navy to have a lot of money, so they would have to set up a research institute with thirty people at once. A few people didn't know that this was actually the product of Zhong Qiangong's discount, but in fact, the domestic part of the radio researcher gave 30 places, and the foreign part added to the whole project team of more than 50 people.
"Radio is the most important of all projects." Zhong Qiangong said. "Professor Meng should not be in a hurry to go to Europe, please contact and convene relevant talents in China first, and then everyone will go to Europe together. As for the families of those who went to Europe, the Navy will find a way to reunite them in Europe within a year. Chief Li said that only when everyone eats and lives well in Europe, and that their families are harmonious and life is comfortable, can they produce good results at an early date. β
"Okay, that's right." Jiang Menglin, who rarely spoke, praised, and then lamented, "It's a pity, we are all studying literature, not radio, otherwise we can also put a foreign and eat bread, butter, and French dishes." β
"Haha......" Wu Youxun, Zhuang Qianding, and Gu Yuying stroked their palms and smiled, they are also professors of physics, and several people have been happy to know themselves for so many years.
"Lieutenant Zhong, I have someone to recommend about precision navigation," Meng Zhaoying calmed down from the excitement just now, and thought of Zhong Qiangong's previous statement that he needed talents in precision navigation. "It's just that this person is still a student."
"Please!" Zhong Qiangong was just happy that the radio project was implemented, and he didn't want to have precision navigation and drama.
"I met an international student when I was studying in the United States, his name is Lin Shimo, graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, MIT is studying for a doctorate, his supervisor is Dr. Draper, an internationally renowned gyroscope expert, some time ago we also had communications, his master's thesis radio altimeter has passed, and the next step may be to study for a doctorate." Meng Zhaoying said that a person she met at the gathering of international students studying in the United States, although Caltech and MIT are located in the east and west of the North American continent, they are both science and technology schools, and they are Chinese, so it is easy for everyone to talk together.
"Limphy...... Mit...... Master's Thesis ...... ......"Zhong Qiangong's pen and paper were already in his hand, and the writing was extremely large, and he was a little excited in his heart. On the way here, after discussing with Li Kongrong and Yan Jici, he was very worried that there were no such talents in China, and he didn't want to find a Ph.D. student here.
"Okay, haha, one more problem solved." Zhong Qiangong was excited, and Yan Keats laughed, "Now it's the engine!" β
Zhuang Qianding Gu Yuyu didn't expect that even those who didn't graduate could be counted, so the range of choices was not limited to China, but for a while, they didn't know how many international students were overseas, so there was no way to find people majoring in engines among these people. After Zhong Qiangong finished remembering Lin Shimo's situation, the dishes were already on the table, and Zhang Boling, as the host, instructed his family to pour a full glass of wine and said: "Everyone, I first want to welcome Depei to the cold house, but unfortunately I can only treat each other with wine." Here, the old man wants to pay tribute to Colonel Li Kongrong, to the navy, and to the first-line countries that bravely kill the enemy. The soldiers salute and wish the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression an early victory! β
"I wish the War of Resistance to Japan an early victory!" Zhong Qiangong, together with the professors present, echoed loudly, and drained the wine in the cup in one gulp. The meal was hearty and dripping, and the somewhat drunk Zhong Qiangong even told Li Kongrong about the German General Goering at the request of several people, and this kind of real experience narration is naturally better than hearsay outside.
After Zhong Qiangong finished speaking, Yan Keats, who was deeply educated in communism in France, asked: "Does Colonel Lee really respect Hitler?" β
"Of course not." Zhong Qiangong said. "The chief just thinks that you have to recite it aloud to learn German, Germany is now a Nazi party, and reciting "Mein Kampf" is naturally better than being told by other things, so it is more convenient to act."
"Nazi ideology is unacceptable, this is **** independence. Cutting thoughts. Colonel Lee should have read more progressive communist books, which is the golden strip of freedom and democracy. Yan Keats once again kindly persuaded him, making Jiang Menglin and Mei Yiqi shake their heads frequently. Fortunately, Zhong Qiangong said: "The chief has already taken classes at the German Naval Academy, and he holds the navigation professional book every day, and he has no time to read other books." β
The dishes and wine were swept away, and Zhong Qiangong saw that the time was almost up, and coughed and said: "Mr. Zhang, debs and professors, I still have to go to the telecommunications bureau to report the current situation to the director, and see if I really want to invite Mr. Zhi of the Sino-Singapore Project to Europe; Professor Yan and I arrived at Linda as soon as we got off the plane, and we haven't found a hotel in Changsha City yet......"
The problem of accommodation is actually very easy to solve, anyway, Zhong Qiangong will not stay in Changsha for two days to leave, the key is that there are too few research talents in the engine, just now at the dinner table a few people to discuss or feel that they should go to invite Zhi Bingyuan, although this person is not highly educated (just a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering), but the hands-on ability is quite strong, if you can't find other talents, the Navy can give it a try.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhong Qiangong's telegram was sent to Flensburg, Germany, on the same day, but he did not want Li Kongrong to return to Flensburg, and he was still in Berlin.
"Mister Lee, London does not think that Hitler made a move to remove the Minister of Defense, perhaps your concern is merely a concern." In the zoo outside the British Embassy in Germany, Frank Foley, the head of MI6 in Berlin, sat on a bench and spoke, the first time he had come out at the invitation of Li Kongrong.
"Invitations to the wedding have been sent out." Li Kongrong replied in a deep voice, "Once the wedding is held, von Blomburg will step down, and his resignation will be the beginning of Hitler's annexation of Austria." β
"Is this true? Are you sure? An important reason for him to come out and contact Li Kongrong in person is that Li Kongrong went to Goering's castle on the outskirts of Berlin on Christmas Day - Germany is a country with a very strong religious atmosphere, and because of this, Christmas is a day for family reunions to thank God, and under normal circumstances, outsiders will not be invited to their homes on this day. Li Kongrong was invited by the No. 2 Nazi person, which naturally brought the relationship with Goering one step closer, and it was a big step closer.
"Of course it is." Li Kongrong had only said that after subduing the Wehrmacht, Hitler talked about waging war, and never said that Germany wanted to annex Austria. "As soon as Field Marshal von Blomburg is gone, the Nazis will annex Austria, and now their only obstacle is the opposition of the Wehrmacht generals, who fear provoking a war in Europe, for which Germany is not ready at this time."
"Are you sure the Nazis had such a plan?" Welfare thought of his other agent, Baron William Drup, codenamed 821. His relationship with the Nazi Party was not shallow, but in his opinion, Hitler was not determined to annex Austria.
"Is this still a plan?" Li Kongrong smiled dumbly, "This is a natural thing." Germany had to annex Austria, either under pressure from the will of the Greater German nation or by Germany's own economic problems. I can bet you that once von Blomburg is gone, within two months Germany will annex Austria. β
"Lee, but this has to be planned!" Welfare also knows that the German-Austrian merger is the trend, but from last year to this year, there is too much such news, and he must come up with credible evidence to convince the country.
"I want to think about it......" Li Kongrong nodded bitterly, in his opinion, it was natural that he actually wanted to have evidence to prove it, didn't he want to prove why one plus one equals two? Fortunately, he had a good memory, and after a moment of silence, he finally remembered Hitler's plan to annex Austria - the name is too easy to remember, it is called the Otto plan.
"I heard about the Otto plan, the plan for the annexation of Austria." Li Kongrong said: "At that time, about 200,000 German troops will march to Austria. If the current Austrian government does not agree, then there will be a war. β
"Project Otto...... Two hundred thousand German troops......" Frank Welfare remembered carefully, "is there anything else?" β
"No, it was a Nazi who was drunk and bragging," Lee Kong Rong lied. "They may have thought that this was a foregone conclusion, and that the annexation of Austria would be easy."
"I'll report back to China right away." Welfare glanced at Li Kongrong, he didn't believe that this was Li Kongrong's nonsense.
"That's why I said you have to move fast!" "Don't forget that the divorce is only one week away, and our time is very limited. In addition, let Admiral Sinclair convey to your Prime Minister that it is not appeasement that can prevent war, but that Germany will be drawn into infighting, and that we must hold back the Wehrmacht so that Hitler will never be able to conquer the Wehrmacht. β
Li Kongrong said something similar to fishing for the moon in the water, and he was very uncertain in his heart. Every time Britain and France appeased Hitler, Hitler would establish a higher prestige in the hearts of the Wehrmacht, and they would think that their FΓΌhrer could do anything, which would bring Hitler one step closer to conquering the Wehrmacht. This seems to reflect a truth: smart choices are mostly the worst choices, and it may not be the person concerned who suffers, but there are always people who are thundered because of this. Is this the legendary retribution?
"Lee, when can you go to London once?" When Li Kongrong was thinking about retribution, Welfare urged Li Kongrong to go to London again, which was clearly requested by the bureau.
"I'll go when the time is right, but certainly not now." Li Kongrong said disapprovingly, and he got up after saying that, and in the distance, there was an Audi van and his new driver and little attendant, Stern, a Jew who was not yet eighteen years old. (To be continued.) )
