"Mr. Director, do you know that your actions have violated international law?"

United States.

Embassy of the People's Republic of China

Hu Shi was a little disappointed, a little sad, and at the same time quite angry and pointed at Edgar. Two men next to Hoover asked him loudly. It's been quite a short time, and Edgar. After Hoover came twice, he couldn't say anything about moving him, so there was no movement. The literati were naïve, even if he was an ambassador of a country...... Although he was reminded by his subordinates that he hid the two military commanders for a while, he finally neglected to see that the FBI had not moved. The two men were given a little money and asked them to hurry up and find a chance to return home. Of course, the ways and means of returning to China were also secretly arranged by the embassy personnel. Unexpectedly, these two people left the embassy one after another, and after "disappearing" for a day, they were killed by Edgar. Hoover brought it back to him. This made Hu Shi feel very ashamed, but he could only express his anger against his will;

"These two people are staff members of our embassy. As diplomatic agents, their persons are inviolable, they are not subject to arrest or detention, and the judicial authorities of the host country are not allowed to prosecute, try or execute them! Mr. Director, did you inform your Secretary of State, Mr. Hull, before you acted? ”

"The Secretary of State knows about this, and even the President knows it very well." Edgar. Hoover could see at a glance that Hu Shi's words were insincere, which made him very interested...... It is understandable that the ambassador of a country does not particularly care about his own country's agents, and does not approve of some of his country's secret actions, but in any case he should not show any guilt. But the ambassador Hu in front of him was obviously ashamed, although he was trying to cover it up, trying to cover up this guilt with an angry appearance. But this kind of clumsy performance can't hide the sharp eyes of the FBI director.

"Did President Roosevelt know about it?" Hu Shi's momentum was suddenly discharged...... He dared to give towards Edgar. Hoover was angry because the other party was just the director of the FBI, and the FBI at this time was only a few years old, and it was far from being famous in later generations, and besides, he still had "International Law" by his side, but if there was Roosevelt's will in this matter, he would have to be much more cautious.

"After all, this case involves two amazing physicists, one of whom is a Nobel laureate...... I think this is something that cannot be tolerated by any country. President Roosevelt was rightly outraged. Isn't it? "Edgar. Hoover laughed.

"You're right, but what evidence do you have that the two men behind you were involved in the murder of Oppenheimer and Enrique. Fermi? Hu Shi asked rhetorically with a slightly red face.

"Evidence is easy to obtain, but the FBI is serious law enforcement, and we respect international law......" Hoover smiled ugly. So, Mr. Ambassador. We did not interrogate these two gentlemen. ”

"Really?" Although some do not believe it. can see the well-dressed appearance of the two people around Hoover, Hu Shi had to believe the other party's words. He was a university scholar, and although he had some knowledge of torture methods in history, he had never experienced it himself. After all, he was a person that even Chiang Kai-shek respected very much. What's more, the mental outlook of the person who has been tortured will definitely be different from the past, but he saw that the two military commanders were a little nervous. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with that.

"China and the United States are partners in cooperation, and the United States has made great sacrifices to support China's cause of resisting foreign aggression. We even handed over our most advanced fighter jets to you...... "Edgar. Hoover said again.

"That's our own design in Chinese! It's just that it's up to your country to make it! Hu Shi snorted coldly.

"That's because you can't make it, isn't it?" Edgar. Hoover smiled stiffly again.

"Mr. Director. What exactly are you trying to say? Hu Shi asked in a deep voice. The other side does not seem to intend to pursue the murder of the two physicists, but the attitude is clearly to hope for something more from China...... Although I don't know what China can make Americans look at at this time, Hu Shi has to be careful.

"We hope to send some researchers to several universities in your country for exchanges." Hoover said.

"Communication? Wouldn't it be better for you to contact those universities directly? Hu Shi was stunned and asked rhetorically.

"No, what we need is 'deep', 'undisguised' communication." Hoover added lightly.

"It can't be." Although Hu Shih had only achieved some achievements in the liberal arts and was an amateur in the natural sciences, he quickly understood what Hoover meant. These Yankees want to rob China of various techniques and research results! He would never have agreed to that condition. Because in his opinion, if he agrees, then he is a traitor! Is it easy for China to acquire a few leading technologies and achievements? How can it be taken by the Americans like this?

"If your country refuses, we will not force it." Hoover shrugged his shoulders, "But Mr. Ambassador, please don't forget that this is a matter of life and death for two great physicists!" It could also affect the now close cooperative relationship between the United States and China. ”

"You guys are blackmailing!"

Hu Shi has been in the United States and has not met with Chuikov. But if he can have an in-depth communication with Chuikov at this time, then they will definitely have a feeling of sympathy.

"Whatever you want to understand. At least in my opinion, blackmail, while a bad act, is better than murder. Hoover grinned, "Moreover, we have only delivered 276 of the 1,200 Hellcat fighters that your country has ordered." You know, a fighter has been flying for a long time, and the replacement of parts alone is not a small amount. ”

"China has only made a modest achievement in science and technology, and most of it is medicine. Is it worth it? Hu Shi asked gloomily. Of course, he is very aware of what China has just achieved on the battlefield. Two battleships, that's not an ordinary achievement. I think that at the beginning, when the Beiyang Naval Division shocked the Pacific Ocean, it was just two small battleships with a displacement of several thousand tons, but that also scared Japan at that time, and it was desperate to catch up. Now, the Chinese Air Force has actually blown up and sunk two battleships of the Japanese. Hu is very clear about what kind of blow this is to Japan, and he is proud of it. But at the same time of pride, he had to sadly agree with another fact: there was no design for a new fighter, but they didn't even have the ability to build it. All the weapons they use to win need to be imported. That is to say, when they were facing Japan, they were pinched to death by the Americans.

"Any scientific and technological achievement, as long as it is conducive to the progress of mankind, should be made public. That's what scientific research should look like, isn't it? Hoover could feel the unwillingness in Hu Shi's heart. But that wasn't what he needed to think about, he just knew that he had a mission this time...... The Chinese would actually think of assassinating Oppenheimer and Enrique . Fermi, this means that they must have reached a certain level of research at least in physics, and may have even begun to study some kind of technology. Although the investment required to complete such research is enormous, according to the description of those scientists, it is likely that it will not be possible to do it at all with China's strength, but no one can guarantee it. And for the sake of the interests of the United States, there is absolutely no need for a China with powerful weapons around the Pacific Ocean, absolutely not! So, Oppenheimer and Enrique. Fermi's death is just a small matter, and what really needs to be paid attention to is what kind of scientific research level the Chinese have. That's what needs to be investigated.

……

"What the hell is going on, Ambassador Hu? What do you say? ”

Either admit defeat and open up their own scientific research institutions to the Americans, or simply snatch away their own country's scientific research results; Or, give up the U.S. aid that is about to arrive, and bear the diplomatic pressure from the other side, and even the pressure from the academic circles of the world...... Hu Shi was faced with a dilemma, or the Nationalist Government was faced with a dilemma. But just as Hu Shi was thinking hard about how to deal with this matter, the two military commanders who had been standing nervously beside Hoover suddenly spoke...... The authentic Sichuan dialect was extremely awkward in the ambassador's office, and it also made the Hoover in front of the two of them frown for a while...... It was this dialect that made their FBI Chinese interpreter unclear, so angry that he had to find a Chinese, but the result was even worse after finding it, the Chinese buddy had been in the United States for two generations, and his ancestors were from Fujian......

"Are you embarrassed? Isn't it for your sake? "There's nothing to hide anyway, people must know it very well. Hu Shi glared at the two "melon babies" angrily...... Aren't these two dead soldiers of the military commander? Before being caught by the Yankees, why didn't you think about yourself and collapsed? As a result, the country has to face such a problem. I don't know how much I have to lose.

"What are we doing? We didn't do anything! One of the agents touched his head inexplicably, "What the hell is this America all about?" First of all, the police in Los Angeles inexplicably arrested us first and locked us up for a month, and finally scraped together some money to release us, and then arrested us again......"

"You've been arrested in Los Angeles?" Hu Shi was speechless. Is this an agent for the?

"That's right." It's still the same agent just now, "X month X day, I remember it clearly!" ”

"You remember it clearly, ......" Hu Shi glared at him angrily again, and was about to scold, but it was so fierce that it was another agitation: "What day did you say?" ”

"X month X day!" Another agent said.

"Is there any evidence?" Hu Shi stood up suddenly, trembling with excitement, X month X day, wasn't that the day Oppenheimer and them were killed? "You remember the day correctly?"

"What's wrong? If you don't believe me, go to the Los Angeles Police Department to check it out! The agent replied dissatisfied.

"Ha Lu haha...... Hu Shi suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, "Not bad, yes, check it right away, check it right away, Ha Lu haha ......" (to be continued......
