Chapter 114: Which of the Three Missions to Choose?
"Sir, look, there's a letter from my hometown!"
In Paris, the night is getting darker, and Zaitao is still processing various documents.
Review what has been done in time to see if there are any shortcomings, and make up for it as soon as possible to avoid falling in the dark next time.
Do a good job of pre-work for what you will do, strive to be perfect, and do not let go of any detail.
Especially as a member of the "old forces" of the Academy of Sciences, although he is also called a "comrade" by others, he still feels that he is still too inferior to young people.
Now that he is directly leading the team to Europe to carry out the mission, Zaitao is ambitious and will definitely make some achievements.
"Bring it over and let me see, what did my hometown say?"
Zaitao quickly pushed aside the papers on the table and got up to greet him personally.
"This time it's a cipher, and you need to compile it yourself." The telegraph operator held the folder and pulled out a document from it and handed it over.
"Okay, then you go get busy first, and contact me in time if you have anything."
As soon as the telegraph operator left on the front foot, Zaitao on the back foot hurriedly took out the code book and compiled the content of the telegram, which read:
[We have received your telegram, and we are extremely satisfied with what you have done, and here we extend our sincere greetings - comrades have worked hard!]
Special arrangements during special periods, I hope you will make persistent efforts, when you return home, it is the day of celebration, the following is the new work arrangement:
1. Inquiring about the current situation of Planck's relatives, that is, his daughter, I had previously sent him an invitation to recuperate his daughter's health in China, but the other party did not explicitly refuse at that time, and now I can greet him in my personal name and test her tone;
2. Check Haber's specific location, it has been a month since the last contact with him, and the other party is hiding in the Netherlands to avoid the post-war trial, you can send someone to contact him and bring him back to China smoothly;
3. Set up a leather bag arms trading company in a neutral country, and contact the Krupp company, saying that it can help it sell arms on behalf of it, focusing on highlighting the Chinese market.
The specific scheme is as follows......]
Planck's daughter's Cheng Nuo had done ideological work before, just to use the other party's daughter to pull her to China.
In my previous life, I read a lot of articles in "*Lin" and "Reading*", saying that foreigners pay more attention to children's independence, and when they become adults, they will live their own lives.
At that time, Cheng Nuo still believed in this, but when he came into contact with Planck, he also knew that foreign parents were also human, and the distressed children were also distressed.
Not to mention the old age, in order to let the youngest son escape the persecution of the mustache, he had to go to court at an old age to exonerate him with tears.
It is not enough to say that his unlucky son-in-law has harmed his eldest daughter at the moment, but he is also harming his younger daughter at the moment, and there are exactly the same signs of pregnancy as her sister, which really reassures Planck.
Now Cheng Nuo's appearance can be regarded as pinching his lifeline.
After all, the initial indecision of Western medicine also started from school, which is a bit of a gap compared to traditional Chinese medicine, which has been developed for thousands of years in this era.
After reading the details of task 1, Zaitao quietly had some arrangements in his heart, and took the opportunity to look at task 2.
Looking at it, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Dean, Dean, how many stumbling blocks did you make in order to recruit Haber over, if the real situation leaks out, not only Haber can't let you go, but the little devils also have to hunt you down, no wonder you have to train these little guys."
Taking out a match and wiping the flames, Zaitao lit the note with the second plan written on it directly, his eyes filled with flames.
"The mudier the water, the easier it is to catch big fish, Dean, you can wait at home to eat fish!"
The sudden appearance of the fire in the house attracted the attention of the people outside, and someone quickly shouted:
"Captain, are you alright? What's going on in the house? Do you want comrades to enter? ”
Although the mouth was a request, with the chaotic footsteps, the voice was getting closer and closer, and finally it was already stuck in the doorway.
"What's the Captain's name? When you go out, you want to call me the prince! Pay attention to everyone's 'identity', it's okay in the house, you can do whatever you have to do! ”
"Lord, but I think there seems to be a fire in this house......"
"Obey orders!"
"Yes!"
Break the ashes on the ground little by little and sweep them into the dustpan, and Zaitao's heart slowly let go.
In order to better complete the tasks assigned to him by Cheng Nuo, it is one thing to incinerate the cipher in time after the second compilation, and the tasks assigned to his subordinates are decomposed to ensure the confidentiality of the task to the greatest extent.
On the other hand, his unified identity to the outside world is that of the Manchu prince in exile, so that not only the arrangement of many retinues is explained, but he can also contact the royal families of various countries through this identity.
Especially because of the defeat in the European war, the German emperor, who was about to abdicate, must have more "common language" in addition to sympathy.
If everything is normal, you can also take advantage of the situation to gain Haber's trust.
Although the "father of chemical warfare" has just won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, he is notorious in terms of fame, not to mention infamy, because of his dominance in chemical warfare.
Like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and fights.
In particular, Cheng Nuo is still behind the scenes, and although the chemical weapons provided are not many, they are disgusting enough, and each use has successfully intensified the hatred of the Entente against him.
Even when Haber realized that something was wrong and had slipped to a neutral country in advance, it was already too late, and his "notoriety" had already spread throughout the participating countries.
If the white child makes a fuss, mentioning "Haber" will have an immediate effect, not only will it not make trouble, but it will cry directly.
During this period, Cheng Nuo provided chemical weapons in the name of the little devil, and originally thought of planting a false accusation against him afterwards, so that he could take care of himself.
But the interests between countries are not so simple, and even if they "make mistakes", they can be resolved at the negotiating table.
In order to prove himself, the little devil also issued a wanted notice to Haber, saying that he must be arrested and severely punished.
Under all these unfavorable circumstances, Haber hid even deeper, for fear that he would be arrested as soon as he showed his head and sent to a military court for a tragic trial.
The lights in the room were turned off, and Zaitao lay on the bed, his eyes closed, and his mind was still thinking about these three tasks.
Although he was confident that each item would be successfully completed according to Cheng Nuo's plan, how to arrange the order of tasks also required him to think carefully.
"There are priorities, choose the most important first, and the less important ones later."
"In terms of success rate, then we should follow Haber, after all, he is a desperate person who urgently needs a place to live, and he has communicated with the dean before."
"In terms of long-term, Mr. Planck needs to be put first, the influence of the Academy of Sciences is not enough for the time being, and some more prestigious scientists are needed, not to mention that I also have a daughter, and the other party is also a poor person."
"In terms of familiarity, it seems that arms are more feasible, I have bought arms before, and I have some communication with the Germans, especially this Krupp company, I know too well the urine nature of these people......"
Once there is something in the head, it is difficult for people to fall asleep.
In the second half of the night, Zaitao simply put on his clothes and sat back at his desk to formulate his plan of action.
When the day dawned, the details of the plan were almost figured out.
"Xiao Zhang, is there any news from the negotiation table?"
The moment he opened the door, Zaitao looked next door.
"Yes, and two things happened at the same time." Xiao Zhang straightened up.
"Say." Zaitao put his arm into his sleeve and ordered.
"One is that the United States has sent troops into Berlin to take over key public facilities, such as stations, ports, etc." Xiao Zhang said word by word.
"We're moving, and others are not slow, so it seems that we have to hurry." Zaitao paused for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face: "What about the second one?" ”
Xiao Zhang glanced at the contents of the document and quickly replied: "The second is that the representative of the victorious country has reached a preliminary agreement in Paris, saying that he will demand compensation from Germany to the greatest extent, and the specific plan is still being further negotiated, but it is ......."
Zaitao frowned: "But what's the matter?" ”
Xiao Zhang hesitated: "But these news have been published in major newspapers in Berlin, and Berlin has been completely chaotic." ”
In a trance, Zaitao found that the ants on the ground were also running away, as if he also knew that something was wrong, so he squatted down and watched, and was a little obsessed.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhang was a little stunned: "Wang ...... Rajah? ”
Zaitao didn't get up, but waved his hand: "You go first, I'll look for you if there's anything." ”
Xiao Zhang immediately replied: "Oh, okay! ”
just stared at the moving ants in a daze, and I don't know how long it took, Zaitao finally came back to his senses, rubbed his sore knees and stood up, and said with a little emotion:
"In the face of the times, we are not ants, we are just big and small.
But this ant knows how to escape, and the big man is also good at it.
In order to avoid any twists and turns, it is better to find Haber as soon as possible, lest this old boy run around and have any accidents! ”
In the Netherlands, in an apartment building facing the street, the windows were covered by thick curtains, and there was no light in the room, and there was a dead silence.
Suddenly there was a whistle from outside the house, followed by the howling of children, the crying of women, and the anger of men.
There was a ripple in the room in an instant, and a figure slowly appeared on the sofa.
Tiptoeing to the window, standing on the side and carefully picking a slit, the light instantly hit his face.
The man was like a vampire, with no blood on his face.
And he, Haber, who was running for his life in all directions, looked haggard.
In order to save his life, he hid in Tibet everywhere, often eating the last meal and not the next, if he continued to hide like this, I am afraid that he would not be able to wait for the trial, and he would starve to death in another country.
"Professor Cheng, Professor Cheng, I took such a big risk to send you a telegram asking for help, you can't ignore me, isn't it a pesticide, as long as you can save me, there is absolutely no problem, the rest of your life will be yours!"
"Damn the Japanese, you were the ones who peddled chemical weapons to me in the first place, and you were charged at least half of them in the first place...... Oh no, at least eighty percent, you all framed me, and now you still want to arrest me? If I make it back alive, I will expose your true colors to the international community! ”
"Damn the Germans, why didn't they hold out anymore and were defeated so easily? Are you worthy of His Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm? Are you worthy of the weapons I have provided you? Is it worthy of the compatriots in the rear? What a bunch of rubbish! ”
"Damn French ......"
After a while, he scolded all the people he could think of, and tried his best to humiliate the language he could think of.
Just as he was still thinking about who else hadn't been scolded, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock knock."
Haber didn't answer in a hurry, but lowered the curtains in time and easily came to the door, judging the situation according to the movement outside.
The knock on the door did not give up because of the dead silence in the room, but became more and more urgent.
Immediately, Haber's heart also panicked, and he quickly left the door, and was about to jump down when he came to the window again.
He chose to face the street in order to get out in time to get out in time for the unexpected.
The people outside the door also seemed to have guessed Haber's thoughts, and directly reprimanded:
"Damn Haber, if you don't open the door for me again, you'll starve to death inside, and you want to jump out of the window? Let's go, the police below haven't left yet, just catch it! ”
Picking up the screen window, the outside was really just as the man said, two policemen were laughing underneath.
At this time, he jumped down and just fell into the net.
Haber scratched his head and jumped off the windowsill, malnourished for a long time, and jumped so lightly that it was almost dark in front of him.
Fortunately, the house was covered with carpets, otherwise I would have fainted.
Holding his head, Haber limped to the door, and before he could say a word when he opened the door, he scolded on the other side:
"Damn Haber, what the hell are you doing in the house? If you don't open the door for me for so long, then don't open it well, and I'll starve to death to get rid of my troubles! ”
"Hug ...... Sorry, sister, I just fell asleep and didn't hear a knock on the door. Haber grinned, his face full of smiles.
It's no wonder that Haber's sister was so angry, and Haber and his wife quarreled over chemical weapons, and later his wife committed suicide because of it.
And the day after this incident, Haber left the child to continue developing chemical weapons as if nothing happened.
As a last resort, my sister took on the responsibility of taking care of her brother's children, and she was very dissatisfied with him.
"Hmph, I'll find your way outside, buy things, take care of little Herman, you sleep in the house, you are really my good brother!"
The younger sister was not angry, so she directly stuffed the things in her hand into Haber's arms and entered the house with her head down.
Haber originally wanted to give his sister a hug, but his hands were stretched out, but he didn't expect the return gift to be some miscellaneous items, and his face was very embarrassed.
"I didn't sleep well at night, I just squinted for a while." Poke your head out, look left and right to make sure no one is following, and then close the door.
"Can I still believe your words? How much realism is left? My sister's face was full of disdain, and she felt that the room was full of peculiar smells, so she simply opened the window.
"Don't ......," Haber tried to stop.
"Huh?" My sister glared back.
"Okay, open it, open it, just enough to breathe." Haber's neck shrunk, at the mercy of his sister, and he still hid in a place where he couldn't see the window,
Later, while gobbling up the food he bought, Haber suddenly discovers that the news published in the newspaper on the table is extremely unfavorable to him.
"This ...... This is a bounty order for me!? ”
