In George Leger's imagination, when he debunked Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan might be embarrassed, maybe angry, or mournful.

In any case, George Legge could not have imagined that Qin Zhiyuan would protest with righteous words, and on the condition of "terminating cooperation", he carried out a coercive protest.

"Calm down, calm down, Qin, no one else knows about it now except me." George Legge tried to stabilize Qin Zhiyuan.

At the same time as the persuasion, George Leger's brain was running rapidly, and he wanted to figure out what aspects Qin Zhiyuan said about "terminating cooperation".

First of all, it must be penicillin and United Oil Company, once the cooperation is interrupted, Qin Zhiyuan will no longer give most of the profits to the French government, which is equivalent to adding insult to the situation for the French government, which is already in financial difficulties.

The second is the Foreign Legion, if Qin Zhiyuan is angry and chooses an extreme way, then it is likely to lead to a large-scale retirement of the Chinese troops in the Foreign Legion, which is even more unacceptable to the French government, if Qin Zhiyuan really does this, no matter what the consequences are, Georges Legge will become a sinner in France.

Again the workers in the factories......

There is no need to repeat it, the first two articles alone will lead to internal and external difficulties for the French government, not to mention that Georges Legge is only the Minister of the Navy, and even the French President Raymond Poengaré cannot afford such consequences.

Well, George Legge knows the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Raymond Ponengalae, if Qin Zhiyuan goes to Raymond for justice because of the Admiralty's infiltration of Corsica, it will seem that the Admiralty will be unlucky......

"I can't calm down, this happened, do you want me to calm down? Am I forced to accept that outcome if the French government builds a factory in Paris or Marseille tomorrow to produce penicillin? Qin Zhiyuan was very angry.

Regarding intellectual property rights, Qin Zhiyuan has a very deep understanding.

Today, the Admiralty will infiltrate the Power Research Institute, then tomorrow the French government may infiltrate the penicillin factory, and if the technology for manufacturing penicillin is leaked, then Qin Zhiyuan's loss will be great.

Regarding penicillin, Qin Zhiyuan has indeed applied for a large number of patents, and it is enough to form a patent barrier.

But in this kind of matter, don't believe that the French government will abide by the law, once the national interest is involved, it is not easy to use any patents.

"Uh, Qin, it's not what you think, actually, no one has infiltrated your research institute." George Legge is honest.

"And how do you know?" Qin Zhiyuan did not relent.

"It was just an accident that there was a researcher in your institute who was in correspondence with his friend to discuss the issue, and his friend was German, so the letter was exam......ined," Georges Legge told the truth.

"You're actually checking letters?" Qin Zhiyuan was greatly dissatisfied, but at the same time, he was also greatly relieved.

Qin Zhiyuan has many German researchers, and many of them have been educated in Germany, such as the two Xuanyuan brothers who once studied at the University of Aachen.

Qin Zhiyuan had great respect for these researchers, even if they were German prisoners of war, they had a high degree of freedom, and their letters would not be examined.

The French government was different, because in times of war, and with the close shackle of civil exchanges between France and Germany, it was understandable that correspondence from France to Germany would be censored.

Qin Zhiyuan wanted to deliberately make a fuss to express his dissatisfaction with the French government.

As long as it is not a deliberate leak of secrets, it seems that ideological education should be strengthened after returning home.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone is deliberately using this method to leak secrets. After all, there are not only French and Chinese in the power research laboratory, but also some Germans who have been screened out from the German prisoners of war, who are not only soldiers, but also have enough sensitivity and knowledge to recognize the value of new torpedoes.

There is indeed such a possibility.

"It's actually very simple, just a small change in the shape can greatly increase the speed of the torpedo." On this issue, Qin Zhiyuan did not want to hide it, saying that the more secrets between Qin Zhiyuan and the French government, the better, so that the French government would be more willing to help Qin Zhiyuan take the blame.

"Appearance? Let's talk about it. George Legge breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Qin Zhiyuan was willing to talk, then there was room for turnaround.

"Drag, the main problem is in the resistance, the torpedo moves in the water, it will be subject to the resistance of the water, if you find a way to reduce the resistance of the water, you can increase the speed of the torpedo, my researchers are currently working on the change in appearance, if you can achieve the goal, then it is indeed possible to greatly increase the speed of the torpedo, even higher than the speed of 50 knots." Qin Zhiyuan's tone was full of pride.

It has only been half a year since the completion of the Power Research Institute, and it has begun to produce results, which is enough to make Qin Zhiyuan proud. Of course, Qin Zhiyuan's role in it cannot be ignored, including the idea of this mine, which was actually proposed by Qin Zhiyuan, but it was only perfected by researchers.

But it's clear that George Legge doesn't know this.

The speed of 50 knots is already about twice as fast as the fastest warship at present, which is basically the limit of the torpedo, you must know that the speed of the most advanced torpedo is only about 35 knots, which is only a little faster than the fastest destroyer.

Of course, the study of appearance is one thing, and the study of power is another, Qin Zhiyuan deliberately suppressed the desire to take out the oxygen torpedo and saved this idea for the future.

"It's very thoughtful, I think, there is more free time for cooperation between us." George Legge is interested.

"As long as you don't use those tricks that can't be used on the table, we do have more room for cooperation, but what ...... now" Qin Zhiyuan's anger has not subsided.

Although George Legge is the Minister of the Navy, he really has no advantage in front of Qin Zhiyuan, for no other reason, the importance of the military class. At present, the French Navy basically has only one task, that is, to ensure smooth shipping routes, from the most basic destroyers (called by the French army: lightning strike ships) to the most advanced Normandy-class battleships, which are similar to the submarine hunters converted from merchant ships in Qin Zhiyuan's hands.

The status of the Foreign Legion in Qin Zhiyuan's hands is much higher within the French army, both in terms of importance and actual combat effectiveness, the Foreign Legion has a higher status than the "escort fleet" of the French Navy.

"Qin, can you not mention embarrassing things, it is an international practice to check letters, you can't blame me for this." George Legge cried out.

"I don't blame you, do you want to blame me?" Qin Zhiyuan despised it.

"If from my point of view, you are indeed to blame, at least it was your people who took the initiative to leak it, if this letter was delivered to the Germans without hindrance, did you think of what the consequences would be?" George Legge frowned, and suddenly thought of another possibility: "Damn, I almost forgot, I'm going to check the records, you'd better check it too, because now we can't be sure if this is the only time." ”

After George Legge finished speaking, he immediately got up and took his leave.

Qin Zhiyuan also thought of this possibility, and immediately realized the seriousness, and picked up the phone to inform Mary and Portlem to investigate thoroughly.

It is indeed necessary to investigate thoroughly, if this is the first letter to talk about torpedoes, it is better to say, if not, then there is big trouble, and Qin Zhiyuan will undoubtedly be mainly responsible for this.

In the matter of torpedoes, Qin Zhiyuan really didn't want the French to know, but at the same time, Qin Zhiyuan didn't want the Germans to know.

The improvement of the shape is not complicated, as long as an air cavity is placed at the front end of the torpedo, the torpedo will effectively reduce the resistance of the water to the torpedo when it advances in the water.

This technology may not be of much significance to the Entente, but it is of great significance to the German Navy, which focuses on the development of submarine forces, you must know that although there are artillery guns installed on the submarines at this time, torpedoes are the main attack weapons, and the improvement of torpedo performance will undoubtedly greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the German submarine forces, which will lead to greater losses for the Entente.

may also affect the naval forces under Qin Zhiyuan, after all, the current escort business in the Mediterranean is basically in charge of Qin Zhiyuan's naval forces.

Knowing the importance of the matter, Qin Zhiyuan must investigate to the end.

Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan has always attached great importance to security construction, and in Thunder City and Trident City, or the entire Thunder Cliff, there are strict to completely covered security agencies led by Gao Hongshi, which also guarantees various research institutes and military secrets in Corsica to the greatest extent.

Gao Hongshi focused on the monitoring of various outsiders, as well as the actual contact between researchers and outsiders, but ignored the most ordinary letters, so that such a big oolong would be made.

Soon, the results of the investigation came to the best of the best.

The letter was sent by Long Chengyuan and addressed to a racist professor at the University of Aachen.

According to Long Chengyuan, this professor named Hanks used to be the teacher of the two Long brothers, and his attainments in motivation are still very good.

But compared to his academic excellence, Hanks's character is despicable, he is not only a supporter of the Kaiser's "Yellow Woe Theory", but also once asserted that the Chinese have no possibility of progress in their motivation.

This aroused the strong disgust of the two Long brothers, so much so that when Long Chengyuan made progress on torpedoes, he couldn't help but ask Hanks to see his results.

In the letter, Long Chengyuan did not explain why the torpedo was able to reach a speed of 50 knots, which is not a leak in the strict sense, and any statement without theoretical support may be bragging, and Hanks may or may not believe it, but it is meaningless.

Even if it was an unintentional mistake, Long Chengyuan was mainly responsible, so that night, Qin Zhiyuan called Long Chengyuan over and beat him hard.

Qin Zhiyuan did not return to Corsica, but Long Chengyuan was in Paris, because at Qin Zhiyuan's wedding, the two Long brothers had to act as best men, which is also a clear proof that Qin Zhiyuan attaches great importance to scientific researchers.
