"Mr. President, what did the Chinese ambassador say?"

Everyone present knew that Roosevelt personally called Hu Shi for what he wanted, which was nothing more than a gesture...... Anyone can do this kind of thing, and they can do it well, so they don't care. Hull even discussed Chennault's rank with Marshall, Stimson, and Knox when Roosevelt was on the phone...... That guy is just a lieutenant in the United States, but the Chinese have promoted him to colonel. According to the principle of equal ranks, do they also want to raise this guy's rank by the way? But if it is promoted like this, will it cause some criticism in the domestic army? It even attracted some people to go to China to "work"? After all, retirement with the rank of colonel and retirement from the rank of captain are two completely different concepts. But they didn't expect that just when they had a small dispute over this, and the quarrel could not end, Roosevelt seemed to have a problem.

"Ambassador Hu told me that one of their universities in China has conducted in-depth research on polio, also known as polio, and has achieved certain results...... A vaccine is currently being developed. Roosevelt exhaled softly, then suddenly smiled again: "But this ambassador obviously doesn't quite understand the gap between vaccines and treatments...... He thought it would help me a lot. ”

"My God!"

Hull was stunned and drew a cross on his chest.

"They, they say......"

"Yes." Roosevelt pursed his lips, not knowing whether he was sad or happy, "The Chinese have obviously achieved unimaginable achievements in medicine. Like I said, they do have enough capital. ”

"Franklin, that's a good thing." Hopkins sighed lightly and smiled at Roosevelt, "We've been looking for a way to eradicate polio. Now that the Chinese have achieved results, it is a good thing not only for us, but also for the whole world. ”

"Rest assured. I don't feel sad about that. Roosevelt chuckled. He knew that Hopkins was comforting himself...... Ever since he contracted the disease, which can be described as terminal, in the summer of 1921, he had been hoping to recover. In 1936, Morris Murray, a research assistant at New York University, was a research assistant at New York University. Brody used the spinal cord of monkeys as an environment for the virus to grow and killed the virus with formaldehyde to make a polio vaccine. Although the difficulty of obtaining sufficient amounts of the virus has hampered its attempts at the beginning. But he is still extremely concerned about it. Unexpectedly, when testing the vaccine, the 3,000 children who were the subjects of Brody did not produce any antibodies, and many of them had allergic reactions. That is, Brody failed.

And after that. He also paid attention to the pathologist John Brown in Philadelphia. Collermer's vaccine, but it's worse than Brody's. Not only is it also inimmune, but it has also caused a number of deaths.

At one point, he was almost in despair. But he soon regained his confidence. In 1938, he initiated the establishment of the National Foundation for Polio to treat polio patients and promote the development of vaccines.

However, the Foundation has only been established for more than two years. Not much has been achieved, especially in the development of a vaccine. I don't have a clue at all.

"Mr. President. What you just said seems to be that the Chinese are 'developing' a vaccine. That said, their vaccine hasn't been developed yet, and it doesn't seem like we should be so happy yet. Stinson said suddenly.

"That's what I haven't made clear." Roosevelt smiled bitterly, "Henry, what Ambassador Hu just said is that they have developed a new vaccine and have already conducted experiments on human bodies. It turned out to be a great success! Antibodies are produced in the body of the vaccinated experimenter. Although they are not yet fully immune, they have come a long way from their previous inability to resist. …… As for the 'development' you mentioned, they are actually trying to find a way to breed this vaccine on a large scale......"

"I felt like I was listening to myths. How many years have the Chinese been researching, and how can they come up with so many medicines at once? Gran. What did you just say? Do they have a drug to treat tuberculosis? Knox looked at Hopkins in disbelief, "Are you sure it's all true?" Not the Chinese are lying? ”

"I don't think anyone would lie about this kind of thing." Hopkins smiled wryly, "Especially the Chinese." If they lie, then, they will suffer unimaginable losses. ”

"The U.S. is now adding 20,000 polio cases a year, or an average of 60 more people a day. It's horrible. The matter of vaccination is urgent...... Roosevelt sighed lightly, "gentlemen, do what you have decided at once. I want to see these drugs and their related patents in the shortest possible time. As for the rest, let the people from the pharmaceutical companies talk to the Chinese, quickly! ”

"Yes."

***************************************************************************

"Director Hoover, are you okay?"

When Hu Shi put down the phone, he looked a little proud...... He is a gentleman, and he has always been tired of this kind of preferential performance, but he just can't control it.

"I didn't have anything to do, I just wanted to investigate the cause and effect of the case." Edgar. Hoover was amused. Robert. Oppenheimer and Enrique. The murder of Fermin's two famous scientists has caused an uproar in the American scientific community and even in the academic circles of the whole world. And because one of them is also a Nobel laureate, even the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which is responsible for evaluating and awarding the awards, sent a telegram demanding that the US Government strictly investigate the case and give an explanation to the innocent scientists who were killed.

In some ways, this case is extremely serious, and the magnitude of it is comparable to that of the president's assassination. But that's just Edgar. Many of Hoover's own ideas were not shared by many scientists who called or telegraphed him, because in the eyes of these scientists, the murder of Oppenheimer and Fermi was far worse than the murder of the president of the United States. Because the president of the United States is gone, there is still a vice president, and the vice president is gone, and there are speakers of the Senate and the House of Representatives...... But Oppenheimer and Fermi are irreplaceable.

Edgar. At first, Hoover decided that the case should be someone or a country trying to frame the Chinese government. Because the Chinese government doesn't have a great grudge against the U.S. government, and there's no way anyone in China understands what Oppenheimer is working on...... Nuclear! Atomic energy! Does anyone in China understand what this means? Not many people even in the United States understand.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the Chinese just happened to meet at the meeting, and thus became the first object of suspicion.

But no matter which direction you deduce, the Chinese cannot be the murderers behind Oppenheimer's murder.

Because the Chinese really can't have any motives.

But after rapid and meticulous reconnaissance, the problem appeared, and all the clues were pointing to the Chinese, to the Chinese government!

Hoover felt the gravity of the matter. If it is really the hand of the Chinese, then this matter may have to be suppressed. Although he is only the director of the FBI, he is also extremely clear about American foreign policy...... It is impossible for the U.S. government to be at odds with two important countries on the other side of the Pacific at the same time. Compared to Japan, which is becoming increasingly uncontrolled, China is clearly a better partner to deal with.

However, no matter what decision the White House will make in the end, he must investigate the matter clearly so that the above can have an accurate judgment. So, he secretly came to the Chinese embassy...... It is rumored that the two yellow murderers appeared in the last place.

"Mr. Ambassador, I just want to see those two men and ask a few words. And so it goes. "Edgar. Hoover tried to keep his expression as gentle as he could...... Just now, he had been expressionless, as if he had frightened the Chinese ambassador. Before receiving the president's call, the other party had been looking nervous, and he even saw beads of sweat on the other party's neck.

"Mr. Director, I would like to state once again that the embassy does not have the people you want to meet. And this is the territory of the Republic of China, and you can't, and you can't, and you can't ask me for anyone. Hu Shi raised his chin slightly, and said with a straight face.

"Mr. Ambassador, I'm not asking for it, I just want to meet those two people." Edgar. Hoover wanted to roll his eyes, and at the same time became more and more convinced that Hu Shi had a ghost in his heart...... What the hell are you afraid of? Nervous about what? Ambassador, can't you see what I mean? Well, there are some things that can't be said explicitly, but you're a diplomat...... How can a diplomat fail to think of even the most basic analysis?

"But as I said, the embassy doesn't have the two people you mentioned." Hu Shi also wanted to roll his eyes. He'd said it over and over several times, but the dead-faced guy in front of him was still just the same sentence: I want to meet those two people! If I can see it, will I not let you see it? You have all broken into the "territory" of the Republic of China, who can believe that you just want to "meet"? I'm afraid I won't be able to pull it out when I see it, and then I'm going to grab it, right? …… Those two bastards really deserve to die, two such amazing scientists actually died, but I have a mission, and how can I let my motherland get involved in this kind of harm to innocent scientists?

Hu Shih was a literati and a master of learning, and he knew a little about Oppenheimer and Fermi, and even more so about the weight of the Nobel Prize. Because he knows very well that this kind of behavior will be criticized by the entire scientific community! China cannot afford that kind of responsibility.

"You must not hand people over." Hu Shi secretly made up his mind.

"Stubborn Chinese guys! It's rare for the FBI to investigate a high-impact case, even if the most serious case will be covered up, but you won't even let me investigate the results, how can I explain? "Edgar. Hoover was expressionless, but he was also secretly determined...... He had to see people. (To be continued......)
