Chapter Thirty-Nine: Lack of Power Quantity to make up
Cheng Nuo didn't care about this threat at all, but took the initiative to get closer, whispering like a demon in the ear of the great chemist:
"Captain Haber, have you forgotten your Jewish? The current situation does not seem to be good! ”
Haber quickly retorted as if reflexively, and said fanatically: "Although the facts at hand are a little sad, even after such a long time, people still do not see our merits and the work we have done, and it is a pity that our existence cannot be faced.
But because of this, we need to give more than others, and it is our sacred duty, whether on the battlefield or in other unimportant work, and now that every Jew is trying to be a hero of Germany, I will not be excluded.
I firmly believe that if you can do something of great value, then our Jewish names will be written in gilded German history books for our children and grandchildren to admire......"
Cheng Nuo had been prepared for this kind of speech, and the other party did not interrupt a word in the process of speaking, and let the other party speak.
The main reason for the fanaticism of Jews like Haber was that the situation of Jews on the eve of World War I was not good, and the world believed that Jews had a monopoly on finance and commerce, which led to an imbalance in the German economy.
This had to do with the profit-seeking nature of the Jews, and in part because the German government forbade Jews from working in higher social positions such as justice, civil service, education, and the military, which was not changed until the war war caused a shortage of soldiers during World War I.
With the high intensity of Jewish activity, they began to get involved in the German economy, and a large number of Jewish bankers and businessmen were entrusted with important tasks in the economy, such as the War Society.
When dealing with foreign affairs such as the Jews of Eastern Europe in New Europe and Central Europe under German rule, the governments of the Middle Nations would invite Jewish experts to give their opinions, and even when some places were conquered by the German government, the Jews were directly granted administrative rights.
Throughout German history, there has been a long wave of anti-Semitism, and the German Jews, as a minority, have always survived in the cracks, carefully maintaining their rights and interests, and longing to be accepted by the German majority society.
The outbreak of the First World War seemed to give German Jews hope, a platform to show their loyalty, to show their patriotic fervor, to prove their worth to non-Jews, to prove that Jews were willing to make sacrifices.
Although he is the father of chemical warfare, Haber is still discriminated against by society.
Now he is in a hurry to change himself, and he does not hesitate to surrender his identity, in a sense, it can be regarded as unexpected and reasonable.
Seeing that the other party was almost right, Cheng Nuo said slowly: "Captain Haber, I agree with what you said, but the 'castle peace' has collapsed, and the delay of the war has caused serious economic problems in the country, such as the lack of food, unfair black market transactions, urban division, strike waves, and so ......on."
The "Castle Revolution", an order issued by Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany in 1914, was changed from the original words of the Jews as "the bane of our country", indicating the end of the partisan struggle and calling on all Germans to unite to defend the country, which was considered by the Jews to be a great change in society and a ray of hope.
Every time Cheng Nuo said one, he took a step forward, and Haber's face was discouraged, he took a step back, and finally didn't dare to look directly at Cheng Nuo's gaze, and turned his eyes to the side: "That's not the case......"
Cheng Nuo scoffed: "Wake up, Captain Haber, there is a group of workers holding signs outside the school to strike, or you can go over and see for yourself, this era is different, in addition to burying your head in the laboratory, you must also get out of the laboratory to see what this real life looks like." ”
Haber lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "No, what you said is not reality, these are all false situations, yes, you must be deceiving me, you hateful yellow dog, you must be envious of our Jews' efforts for Germany and His Majesty Wilhelm, yes, it must be so!" ”
When he said the last few words, Haber directly clenched his fists and roared out with all his strength.
But by this time, the procession of strikers had already come from across the street, holding signs asking for bread and resting, and shouting all kinds of slogans.
Taken together, these slogans are obviously much more powerful than those of a weak scholar like Haber.
With each slogan, Haber's face darkened and his strength was withdrawn.
Just as Haber was about to fall, a sharp-eyed young man suddenly pointed at Haber and shouted, "There is a hook-nosed Jew there, and it is because of them that we have lost so badly on the battlefield."
Why our working hours are constantly increasing, why our wages are decreasing, why our stomachs are getting hungrier and hungrier, all because of the demagoguery of these Jewish devils, don't let these damned Jews go! ”
"Yes, it is these Jews who evade military service on the front line, and I have seen with my own eyes that they are profiteers and traitors who make money during the war!"
"The Jews have filled their pockets and now want peace, shall we allow it?"
"No, we won't allow it!"
With that, the young German led the workers into the courtyard, as if they were going to settle accounts with Haber.
Although there are school guards in the school, so many people break in, obviously not their opponents, and they disappear into the crowd without a trace after a little appearance.
As hopes of a quick victory in the war were dashed, and the weariness of the war and the growing resentment needed to find a scapegoat to vent, the voices of anti-Semitism were partially endorsed by those in power.
In order to settle accounts with the Jews in advance, the anti-Semitic forces in the German army specially mobilized forces to investigate the participation of Jews in the war.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the day of the investigation happened to be the day when the Jewish army changed its guard and withdrew from the front line, and the results of the investigation naturally did not look good for the Jews.
In addition, World War I was a time of anxiety, and the sudden conduct of a special investigation of a certain group at this time would undoubtedly chill the respondents and exacerbate the contradictions between them.
In all these circumstances, the situation of the Jews is not as bad as it was before World War II, but it is not much better now, and it is even getting worse.
Seeing the frenzied crowd getting closer and closer to him, Haber's face showed an extraordinary dead silence, and his lips trembled, but he couldn't emit a single byte.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Nuo sighed quietly, and finally decided to take Haber to run first as a respect.
Not to pity him for being Jewish, but to fear that Haber would fall under the right-wing conflict, and that he would lose more than half of the value of his trip to Germany.
Of course, with Cheng Nuoming's German identity, it will not be much better in this conflict.
"Captain Haber, offended!"
Saying that, Cheng Nuo didn't give Haber time to react, directly put him down and carried it on his shoulder, and then ran away from the marcher.
Relying on his different physical fitness, Cheng Nuo quickly threw the crowd away, and even made a few more detours of the streets for the sake of safety, until the parade was completely out of sight.
"Well, Captain Haber, there's no one coming along, right?" Cheng Nuo panted.
Haber raised his eyelids and said mechanically: "Young man, you put me down, everything makes sense?" It doesn't make sense in the end......"
"Why is it meaningless, I think it makes a lot of sense." Cheng Nuo glanced behind him and confirmed that no procession was coming, then he put Haber down and threw him on a bench on the side of the road: "Captain Haber, do you want to do this for the rest of your life?" It's not too late! ”
Haber's noodle-like arms hung casually on the ground: "As early as the year before last, I should have understood that the changes brought about by the world war to the Jews in Germany were far less great than the changes brought about by the German government's change in its attitude towards Jewish soldiers.
At the beginning of the war, we young Jews actively signed up for the army, or did our part in the rear of the war, wealthy businessmen bought a large amount of national debt to support the motherland, industrialists and us scientists worked hard, but why were we so active that we were selected to conduct the census? ”
Looking up at the sky, Haber saw no gleam in his eyes: "The loyalty of the Jews to Germany is worthless, and it is foolish to expect the Germans to give it trust...... In fact, I should have thought that no matter what position Jews apply for, there will always be a reason to choose someone else, and this society is like this. ”
Cheng Nuo suddenly increased his voice, came to Haber, and said solemnly: "Captain Haber, do you know where the root of all these problems is, let me tell you, that is, because the German Empire lost on the battlefield, since it failed, then we must find the culprit of the problem."
You Jews are weak, so naturally you are the first to be the target of attack. Imagine when your country rises on the battlefield, conquers cities, and reports good news, where will these problems still exist? ”
The look in Haber's eyes slowly converged, and he muttered to himself: "Yes, it is because our German army has suffered defeat on the battlefield, if we must win every battle, where will these things happen, alas, it is all because the chemical weapons I studied are not powerful enough, if I can help the army every time, it will not be like this." ”
Suddenly, Haber seemed to think of something, and his voice immediately raised a few tones, as if he was remorseful and excited: "It's all my mother-in-law, when I was researching chemical weapons, she had to nag me to anger God, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have failed miserably when we used chemical weapons for the first time, yes, it's her!" ”
Cheng Nuo squatted down to the same height as Haber and gently patted Haber's knee: "Captain Haber, blindly immersing yourself in the past obviously can't solve the current problem, now we should think about how to make the German army achieve results on the battlefield!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go back and settle accounts with my mother-in-law." Haber's eyes focused quickly, and finally focused on Cheng Nuo: "What I can do is to expand the power of chemical weapons and research better chemical weapons as soon as possible." ”
After saying this, Haber got up like a demon, and was about to rush to his research institute.
How could Cheng Nuo let Haber go back so easily, otherwise his efforts would not have been in vain.
Quickly grabbed Harber and pressed him to the bench.
Cheng Nuo looked directly at him: "Captain Haber, scientific research is not a masterpiece, its substantive progress is not subject to human will, and the same is true for Jews. ”
Haber frowned: "Then you say, what should I do?" ”
Cheng Nuo smiled sneeringly: "It takes time to study power, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Germany and Germany, and the balance will gradually tilt in the direction of failure,"
Haber was a little impatient: "Young man, you'd better explain it in one sentence, my time is precious now." ”
Cheng Nuo's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he quickly unfolded it again, and said with a smile: "You have a very good German proverb, called viele wenige geben ein viel (small things add up, gather armpits into fur), the reason why chemical weapons on the German battlefield have achieved limited results at present, except that the power you said is not enough,
There is also an important reason, and that is the lack of quantity. ”
Hearing this, Haber suddenly reacted, and glanced at Cheng Nuo with a suspicious face: "Young man from the Far East, I admit that I underestimated you before, in addition to your extraordinary physical strength, you also have extraordinary intelligence, you might as well say it directly, what is the purpose of looking for me?" ”
Cheng Nuo laughed and said kindly: "Captain Haber is observant, I won't hide it from you now, I am Watanabe Kazuno from Osaka, Japan, and I specially asked Captain Haber to do chemical weapons business." ”
In order to hide his identity, Cheng Nuo deliberately chose Osaka, one of the most famous places in Japan during World War II, as the source of his identity.
And this Osaka is the birth of the most famous army in the history of the Japanese military, the Osaka Division, that is, the army that dares to sell anything as long as there is money. As a division regiment, he was surprisingly afraid of death on the battlefield, and even did ordnance and medicine business with our army, and finally the business was done in the Pacific theater.
"Business? Or is it still a chemical weapons business? Haber couldn't help but repeat it loudly, but after saying it, he suddenly realized that the occasion was wrong, and hurriedly whispered: "Your country and our country are still belligerents, are you sure you are not deceiving me?" ”
Cheng Nuo said mysteriously: "Facts speak louder than words, if Captain Haber is not busy, watch it with me." ”
Haber hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, deciding to believe Cheng Nuo for the time being: "Okay, I'll go over with you to have a look." ”
In this way, Cheng Nuo turned around and finally brought Haber to the dock, and then turned around and finally came to a dungeon, opened the lock, pushed open the heavy door, and saw a neatly stacked chemical weapon.
Although the amount is not large, there are many types, and these are all transported by Cheng Nuo with great painstaking efforts, and I don't know how many people have to buy them.
In addition to chlorine, there is phosgene (carbonyl chloride) and even mustard gas (dichlorodiethyl sulfide), the king of chemical weapons, in reserve.
Of course, it's not much.
The display of this is also to confirm to Haber that Cheng Nuo has the ability to produce these chemical weapons.
"These are just early adopters, and if you are satisfied, Captain Haber, there will be a large number of chemical weapons later, which will be sent in a steady stream, not only to support the use of the German army on the battlefield, but also to respond to your chemical weapons program."
