Chapter 165: Qian Xuesen
As soon as he heard that Takeda Yixiong, an agent, actually had something to ask him for help, Tang Ning's heart rose, and there was absolutely no trivial matter or good thing for someone like him to ask for help, so he said quietly: "You tell me what is the matter first." ”
Takeda Yixiong smiled and said, "Tony, aren't you going to transport two people from Northeast China to Okinawa?" It just so happens that I also have something that I want to ship from the United States to Okinawa, don't you think we happen to benefit each other and help each other? ”
Tang Ning asked with some surprise: "Someone wants to smuggle out of the United States?" ”
Takeda Yixiong waved his hand: "It's not a person, it's a thing." ”
Downing asked, "What is it?" ”
Takeda Yixiong said very easily: "It's nothing, it's just some paper." ”
Tang Ning snorted dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, if it's really just some paper, you still need to risk being exposed to come to me?" ”
Takeda Yixiong smiled a little embarrassedly: "Of course, there are still some words on the paper." ”
Tang Ning asked with some vigilance: "Could it be a national defense secret or some important intelligence?" Let me tell you, don't even think about this, I'm an American, how can I do something bad for my motherland! ”
Takeda Takeo laughed and said, "Tony, don't tease me, I've known each other for so many years, can I still not know how deep your feelings are for the United States?" Forget it, I'll tell you the truth, what I'm going to ship out of the United States this time is the research materials of Professor Qian Xuesen. You see, I am transporting Chinese, you are transporting Chinese information, all related to China, should you cooperate, and this time you are taking advantage ah, a few boxes of paper are better than a few big living people, right? ”
Tang Ning immediately refuted: "Shumitt, you don't fool me, you really don't know who Professor Qian Xuesen is, that is an internationally famous scientist, a professor at the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and Vice Admiral Jin Buerke once said that Qian Xuesen no matter where he goes." There are five divisions on the top of the capital. Such a person's research materials, you let me smuggle out of the United States, this is not only treason, but also life! ”
Takeda Yixiong said distressedly: "Tony, I really can't help it. I beg you, I'm going to end my secret service in two months, so I don't want to regret the last few assignments, I know it's going to be difficult, but I'm sure with your connections in the U.S. and your friendship with McCarthy. It's just that the smuggling point information should come out without any problem. ”
"What kind of relationship can I have with that madman McCarthy."
"Don't think I don't know, you helped McCarthy when he was at his worst, and now he has thanked you on many occasions."
"What's the use of that, you know he's a madman, and if he finds out I'm in the Communist Party, he's going to have to kill me. Besides, even if it is useless to get the research materials back, Professor Qian Xuesen can't go back by himself, isn't that still tantamount to working in vain? ”
"There's no way, the CIA is too tightly guarded. For the time being, there is really no good way, so the rats can only move and come little by little, and if Professor Qian Xuesen goes back alone and does not carry research materials, the difficulty of the operation can be a little lower at that time. ”
Although he quarreled fiercely with Takeda Yixiong, in fact, Tang Ning's heart had already begun to plan for this matter, and he from later generations should know better than the people at this time the great value of Qian Xuesen and Deng Jiaxian, these patriotic professors, without them, there would be no birth of China's nuclear weapons, and there would be no chance for peaceful development, so if there is no danger in itself. I'm still very willing to contribute.
At that time, Qian Xuesen was an associate professor and professor of aerodynamics in the Department of Aeronautics of the Department of Aeronautics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Carmen co-created the world-renowned "Carmen-Qian Xuesen formula". It is presented and proven. It provides a theoretical basis for the aircraft to overcome the thermal barrier and sound barrier in the early stage. Since then, Qian Xuesen's name has spread all over the world.
Moreover, during World War II, Qian Xuesen participated in the cutting-edge scientific research projects of the US Air Force and was honored as a colonel. At the end of World War II, the US Air Force highly praised Qian Xuesen for his tremendous contribution to the victory of the war. American columnist Milton. According to Vioster, Qian Xuesen has "set the stage for the transition of the U.S. Air Force from propeller to jet aircraft." and finally a key figure in the long-term plan for the transition to unmanned spacecraft in space", "a bright star in the galaxy of scientists who helped the United States become the world's first-rate military power."
Navy Vice Admiral Jin Buer's words are actually not an exaggeration, his original words are like this: "He knows the core secrets of all US missile projects, and one Qian Xuesen is worth five Marine divisions, and I would rather shoot this guy than let him go back to Red China!" "Such a character, let alone the United States, would not let him go easily if any country changed it.
As a result, USCIS raided his home and then detained him for 14 days on Termina Island before releasing him after receiving a hefty $15,000 bail from Caltech. After that, U.S. Customs confiscated his luggage, including 800 kilograms of books and notebooks. They insisted that there was classified material in it.
Now Takeda Yixiong asked himself to transport some of Professor Qian Xuesen's core materials, the importance of this matter is needless to mention, and the difficulty is almost an impossible task for Chinese or Soviet agents, but for Downing, it is still a bit possible, after all, whether it is his status as a military quartermaster or he has a little friendship with Wei Maider, McCarthy, and the Dupont family, as long as the research materials can not reach him safely, there will be no problem at all in transporting them back to Okinawa. When the time comes, stuff things into the raw material ship of the DuPont family, with the brand of the DuPont family and his personal escort, who dares to check?
Therefore, the difficulty of this matter for Tang Ning is mainly how to get these materials, not transportation, but fortunately, Takeda Yixiong ensured that the data theft was operated by their people, and Tang Ning only needed to be able to transport these ten boxes of materials back safely.
Although Tang Ning was full of desire to help, he had to be reserved on the surface, and emphasized: "You must send Dr. Han's family to me first, and then I will go to the United States to help you smuggle the materials." ”
Takeda Yixiong patted his chest and said: "Tony, don't worry, this is absolutely no problem, we Soviets speak, they Chinese will definitely listen, not to mention that this operation is for their Chinese." (To be continued.) )
