Chapter 278: Fame (Good Mood So Add More)
Perhaps it was the righteous name that moved Sandy, or maybe it was Misha's persistence that played a role, Sandy did not mention going to the United States again, and plunged into the laboratory and started working without sleep.
Penicillin research is infinitely close to success, and a finished product may appear at any time.
It takes courage to give up at this time, and it shows Sandy's love for Misha.
Qin Zhiyuan didn't dare to love, Qin Zhiyuan was worried about nationality.
Just after Qin Zhiyuan chose to become a French citizen, there were also people in the First Division who chose to become French nationals, and there were quite a few of them.
Of course, some people have become French citizens because of intermarriage with French women, but more people want to keep up with Qin Zhiyuan and express an attitude. In particular, most of the officers in the army chose to become French citizens to express their determination to advance and retreat together with Qin Zhiyuan.
This was originally a good thing, but Qin Zhiyuan smelled something unusual from it.
Almost all of the applications of senior officers were approved, but only a very small number of junior officers and soldiers were approved, and most of them were already married to French women.
And it was not the French immigration office that rejected the applications of these people, but the embassy of the Republic of China in France.
Qin Zhiyuan couldn't say why, he felt that something was wrong, so he called Hu Weide, the ambassador to France, to inquire about it.
"Brother Dingyuan, this is the meaning of China, and I can't help it." Hu Weide complained bitterly when he opened his mouth, as if Hu Weide's face full of embarrassment could be seen through the telephone line.
"What does it mean to be domestic?" Qin Zhiyuan asked.
So far, to be honest, the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and the country is not good, since the last time Qin Zhiyuan ignored Premier Duan's telegram, the country has never sent a telegram to Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan didn't care either, anyway, the logistics of the first division did not rely on the Beiyang government, and Qin Zhiyuan did not have much hope for the Beiyang government. Qin Zhiyuan's requirements for the Beiyang government are not high, as long as they don't drag their feet.
Qin Zhiyuan's only channel of contact with China is the embassy, and poor Hu Weide's dignified ambassador to France has now become a sounding board between Qin Zhiyuan and the Beiyang government.
"Brother Dingyuan, on this issue, let's meet and then talk about it." Hu Weide refused to say on the phone.
At present, both the British and the French are able to eavesdrop on information through cables, so it is not safe to say these things on the phone, because even Hu Weide is not sure that the telephone lines in the embassy are being monitored and those are not.
Qin Zhiyuan has been an agent before, and he understands these dirty things, and even Qin Zhiyuan can be sure that all the phones in the embassy will be monitored, and there will also be a large number of bugs, which is not a secret in the secret service world, and every country will do it.
"Okay, you get ready, I'll have someone send you here by plane." Qin Zhiyuan agreed.
With the arrival of summer, flying in the air is no longer an unbearable affair. Through Renault, Qin Zhiyuan got more than a dozen planes, all of which were twin-engine and two-seat fighters, the kind that could fly directly from Paris to Corsica.
Qin Zhiyuan also got a transport plane.
This is an aircraft designed according to Qin Zhiyuan's ideas, with a metal fuselage, two engines, and a sealed cabin, which can transport six passengers, or five hundred kilograms of cargo. This is currently the only transport aircraft in the world, and there is also a bomber model of the same type, once launched, it immediately won an order for 200 aircraft from the French military department, as well as an order for 150 aircraft from the British government and an order for 300 aircraft from the US government.
In order to complete the production task as soon as possible, the old Renault had to prepare for the construction of another aircraft factory, which had Qin Zhiyuan's 20% shares.
Don't be too young, the old Renault is only 30%, and the rest belong to those leading figures in Paris.
The research institute in Thunder City in Qin Zhiyuan's hand is currently researching a large aircraft, that is, a long-range transport aircraft with four engines, and Long Chengyuan is researching high-horsepower engines for this purpose.
At the same time, this also requires the cooperation of Long Chengxuan, if the materials can't keep up, no matter how good the design is, it can't be put into practice.
That night, Hu Weide arrived in Thunder City by transport plane, although Thunder Cliff also has an airport, but without the guidance of the planes of the First Division, all the planes could not land at Thunder Cliff. This problem may be changed in the near future, when the objective conditions for the installation of radios on transport aircraft are ripe, and perhaps it will not be long before the 1st Division will receive aerial reconnaissance planes and bombers equipped with radios.
Hu Weide's face was ruddy, and he looked forward to shining when he walked, and he had a feeling of high spirits. Since Qin Zhiyuan became a French citizen, the relationship between France and the Republic of China has become more and more intimate, and Hu Weide, the ambassador to France, has also risen in Paris.
In the study room of Thunder Cliff, Qin Zhiyuan and Hu Weide sat opposite each other, this is Qin Zhiyuan's old nest, Qin Zhiyuan can be sure that there is no monitoring, so he has no scruples about talking here.
“…… It is also difficult at home. Ordinary soldiers are different from you, they don't have much sense of right and wrong, they do big things and sacrifice their lives, and tend to small profits and forget the big righteousness, so the country is cautious about soldiers joining French nationality. You know, if you don't get along in France, or if you want to go back to your country, you can go back at any time, but those ordinary soldiers, they may stay in France after the war and never go back, which is not good for our country. Hu Weide thought more.
"Don't worry about this problem, even if someone in the army joins the French nationality, as long as the country needs it, they must serve the country, if they can't do this, I will let them lose all their all, even the French government can't protect them." Qin Zhiyuan was decisive.
The Chinese believe that those who achieve great things must be ruthless and unscrupulous, which may sound a bit extreme, but it is the difference between ordinary people and those who are masters. If it is not necessary, Qin Zhiyuan will not go on a killing spree, but if someone betrays the Chinese nation, Qin Zhiyuan will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
For example, in China now, there are some literati who are advocating "Sino-Japanese friendship", Qin Zhiyuan is now out of reach in Europe, as long as Qin Zhiyuan returns to China, there are those literati who are comfortable. The Beiyang government can't pull down its face to deal with those traitors who eat inside and out, and Qin Zhiyuan, a "foreigner", will not be polite.
"After all, that's the last helpless move, if it's not necessary, or don't be impulsive, let's do the work in front now, wouldn't it be better to prevent it from happening?" Hu Weide has a kinship.
During the Republic of China, "warlords" like Qin Zhiyuan did not have a good reputation in China. However, it has not yet reached the point of being spurned by everyone, and in another time and space, after the Paris Peace Conference is held, the reputation of "warlords" will be really rotten.
