As the second major task of the European trip, Zaitao was also very attentive to it, not only rushed to Berlin the day after sending Haber, but also arranged for someone to investigate Planck before leaving.

The content of the survey not only includes the place of residence, family situation, personal preferences, daily routine, etc., but also has a certain amount of research on what Planck has eaten recently.

took off his gloves and took out a photo from his coat, and after comparing it up and down to make sure it matched, Zaitao was relieved: "It's really not easy, after walking for such a long time, I finally arrived at the place, and I saw that there was still smoke in the chimney at home, and the owner should be at home." ”

Seeing this, the subordinates stepped forward to open the way: "Lord Wang, should we go in now?" ”

Zaitao raised his hand to look at his watch, shook his head and said: "It's still a little early, it's only 7 o'clock, it is estimated that the other party is still resting, if we pass at this time, maybe it will disturb people's Yaxing, if they haven't gotten up yet, we knock on the door now and go in, the other party will be more or less angry, and the negotiation will be even more unsmooth." ”

glanced at the direction of the room, the door was locked, and the subordinate echoed: "That's right, on such a cold day, if it were me, I would definitely be shrunk in the quilt and not come out, if someone asks me to do something at this time, even if I don't say it on the surface, I guess I will be more or less unhappy in my heart." ”

Put on his gloves again, Zaitao said: "Yes, wait for eight or nine o'clock, let's go over, it will be much better, after all, this person is the most well-known physicist in Europe at present, and it is also appropriate to work harder." ”

In particular, the Nobel Prize was announced not long ago, and Planck won this year's Nobil Prize in Physics.

In addition, he is the current leader in the German scientific community, and his every move affects the development of the German academic community.

Unlike Einstein, Planck was somewhat nationalistic, and even with his own daughter, he would not give up Germany easily.

Therefore, Cheng Nuo's goal is also more practical, that is, Cheng Nuo invites Planck's daughter to China for recuperation and slowly settles down in China.

"His daughter Emma is two months pregnant, right?" Zaitao was a little uneasy and asked again.

"Based on the information we received from the investigation from the nearby community hospital, there is no doubt that it will be two months." The subordinate affirmed.

"That's good, at this time, it is more feasible to travel long distances with pregnant women, if it is a little later, when the other party is pregnant, then the action will be a little late, not only the other party's body can't stand it, but even the general environment will become unoptimistic." Zaitao breathed a sigh of relief.

The subordinates were a little puzzled, and they wanted to ask but were afraid that the commander would think that they were troublesome, and their faces were very entangled.

It just so happened that this scene was seen by Zaitao, and said with a smile: "You want to ask why?" In fact, just look at the recent news and know that the representatives from our hometown will arrive in Paris next month, and they will negotiate with the victorious countries about the division of interests after the war, and the environment in Germany will definitely be even worse at that time. ”

The subordinate was pleasantly surprised: "It's here so soon?" That...... Then we Qingdao is expected to return. ”

Zaitao's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy, but he was well disguised by him, he himself had experienced the signing of various unequal treaties, knew some insiders who did not know, and had Cheng Nuo's hints to him, he could more or less guess the direction of this peace meeting - very not optimistic.

It's just that he can't bear to hit his subordinates, and there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, so after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.

The time of waiting for others is relatively boring, even if there are subordinates chatting next to them, there is always something missing.

Just as there were cigarette butts on the ground, and Zaitao's inventory was about to run out, the door to the target room finally opened, and then a middle-aged man was seen sending a young couple out of the door, holding each other's hands and not knowing what they were instructing.

The subordinate winked and signaled if he wanted to go over now.

Zaitao glanced at it, shook his head and said, "The other party is entertaining guests, and now it's a little rude in the past, so wait a while...... Slowly. ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the young couple was a little familiar, took out the photo and rummaged through it a few times, found one of them, and compared it: "It seems to be Emma and his wife, the core target of our mission this time." ”

Feeling a little uneasy, he handed the photo to his subordinates: "Oh, can you see if it is the two people in the photo?" ”

The subordinate squinted, looked at it a few times and said firmly: "That's right, it's these two people, how can you see that they want to separate?" ”

"Then hurry up and block them, while the three of them are still together, try to take it as much as you can, so that you don't have to run around in the back." Pulling out the photo, Zaitao strode towards the house.

On the side of the house, Planck is still making a final explanation.

Holding his daughter's hand, he warned Hans: "Hans, I have only one daughter left now, I don't want her to have any more accidents, otherwise I will never spare you, and I will definitely drag you to hell!" ”

Hanston felt a chill in his neck, and hurriedly said: "Dad, don't worry, I don't have any opinion on going to China, as long as your Professor Cheng's person comes, I will clean up immediately...... Oh no, just pack up our things when we go back and wait for the other person to pick us up. ”

Emma had red circles in her eyes and said with some reluctance: "Dad, are you really unwilling to go with us?" If that's the case, then I'm not going either, I'll stay in Germany with you. ”

Planck sighed and said, "Alas, now that the national scientific community is leaderless, and the emperor has just stepped down from the throne, and that Haber doesn't know where he has gone, my personality requires that I can't abandon them, and now I need to tide over the difficulties with everyone." ”

Emma shook her father's hand: "Isn't it difficult for me to do this?" ”

Planck brushed aside the broken hair on his daughter's forehead and said softly: "You are different, although China is relatively new to you, but I believe that Professor Cheng will definitely make proper arrangements for you, not to mention that there is Hans by your side, and he may not be good at taking care of people, but he is indeed a good emotional companion." ”

Hans couldn't help but sniffle and wanted to explain a few words to himself, but when he saw that the old man's face was not very good, he quickly gave up this method and swept his gaze away, as if he had not heard what he had just said.

Sweeping and sweeping, I suddenly found that two figures were walking not far away, and the direction seemed to be this side.

Originally, he thought that he was wrong, but after a while, after the distance was shortened, he determined that the target was this side, and hesitated: "Dad, Emma, there seem to be two people coming over there......"

"Are you sure you're here with us? Don't be mistaken. ”

"Dad has been hiding in the house for the past few days, and he hasn't gone out at all, and most people don't know that he is here, so he shouldn't be looking for Dad."

"No, no, no, it's going this way." Hans rubbed his eyes and said firmly: "Their goal is very clear, that is, to go this way, it should be to find Dad, before the Japanese wanted to find Dad, to discuss some political matters?" ”

Following the direction pointed by his son-in-law, Planck also hesitated: "Is it really Japanese?" They weren't that big, and I made it clear that I had rejected them at the beginning, so I probably wouldn't come back again...... Perhaps, it was the person arranged by Professor Cheng? If that's the case, it's too fast. ”

Once you have a conjecture in your mind, you will constantly make up for yourself.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the two were from China, and Planck couldn't help but walk to the door, ready to ask.

Before he could open his mouth, the two people on the other side shouted at him, "Is it Professor Planck?" ”

Planck replied, "Yes, I am, I don't know where you two are from, what is the matter with me?" ”

Zaitao greeted with a smile on his face: "We are from China, and we have come to help you under the instructions of your friend Professor Cheng. ”

Planck was overjoyed, and hurriedly welcomed the two back into the house, and easily took his daughter in.

As for the son-in-law of the enemy, he successfully ignored it again.

Helplessly, Hans had no choice but to find the dog again, hugged the little guy and said: "Balu, it seems that we are true love, if we can go to China, I will definitely take you with me, it is interesting enough for you, right?"

So what, if you want to get it, you have to pay first, I see that your kennel is quite crowded, and it is estimated that it is not warm, do you want to go out for a walk with me?

Okay, you can't speak, then you will acquiesce......"

Germans are considered serious, cautious, and seemingly meticulous, but the other side of this character is often narrow-minded, jealous, and vindictive.

In fact, the cultivation of this national character has a great deal to do with Germany's geographical location and history, which is bordered by France to the west, Poland to the east, the Baltic Sea to the north, and Italy to the south, and is in the center of the whole of Europe.

Germany, like the United States, is a federal country, and its land area is smaller, and there are more federal states in the system, and it lacks the protection of a strong central bloc, so it is easy to become an attack target for surrounding countries, and the domestic vassal states have also been in a state of war for a long time.

As a result, the people in the German region lived in an extremely unstable state for a long time, which gradually caused the insecurity of the Germans, and integrated into the national character of the Germans, so that there were two sides of the personality.

Now that we have lost the last World War, this sense of insecurity is at an all-time high, and Planck, the most typical German, is naturally not immune.

When this sense of crisis was transferred to his daughter, it made him a little restless, and after getting Cheng Nuo's letter, he couldn't wait to send his daughter to China, and now he finally looked forward to the escort, and he was quite excited, and even made Zaitao a little unbearable.

"General ...... Professor Planck, you don't have to be in such a hurry, our people are already on their way, and this time I just want to be a guest in advance, and I will take your daughter to China in a few days, and now you father and daughter still have plenty of time to get along. Zaitao persuaded.

"No, no, no, it's too late." I don't know where to find a dollar, Planck took it and said: "Last month, 1 dollar could only be exchanged for 7 marks (German currency), and after a few weeks, now it can be exchanged for 8.9 marks, the depreciation rate is too fast, and there is no sign of curbing."

At that time, Germany will face an unprecedented inflation, and the lives of the German people will inevitably be greatly negatively affected, except for the monopoly bourgeoisie can benefit, it will be difficult for us ordinary people to live, so I must think about my daughter, while the mark is still available, and transfer people and things out as soon as possible. ”

Saints are in the minority, mortals are the majority, and even Planck, a staunch patriot, wants to make some plans for his daughter, and to make the future economic situation as bad as possible.

But the reality is often illogical, and it won't take long for 1 dollar to be exchanged for 420 billion marks, which is really a dire situation for the Germans.

The purpose of all actions is to absorb Planck, Zaitao hesitated, but still a little unwilling: "Professor Planck, you all know that the future of ordinary democracy in Germany will not be easy, why don't you leave with us?" ”

Planck shook his head with a wry smile: "Where can I leave?" The reunification of our Germany was later than that of our neighbors, and it was not completed until the last century, and in contrast to the two, we Germans also have a strong sense of inferiority and have always feared being looked down upon by others. ”

Hearing such a self-analysis, Zaitao was surprised and said, "Do you all think like this? But I clearly remember that since Prussia unified Germany, Germany has experienced the victory of the Austro-Prussian, Franco-Prussian and Prussian-Danish wars, and assumed the role of the leader of the second industrial revolution. ”

Planck said in a low voice: "At that time, the national self-confidence did improve a lot, but now we have failed, and the national self-confidence that has been accumulated with great difficulty has been broken down and fallen into a new trough. ”

This inferiority complex also brings with it the desire to prove one's aggressiveness, in other words, aggressiveness, and the Germans who were defeated in World War I did not think that their army was completely defeated, nor were they willing to admit their defeat, and were always eager to prove themselves again by defeating their opponents in the war.

Although Planck was not as aggressive as the German army, the idea of proving himself was in the same vein.

No matter what Zaitao said later, he couldn't completely change the other party's mind, and in the end, it was Cheng Nuo's hard work and the face that he wanted to fulfill his father's duties, saying that after his daughter passed, he would go to China to stay for a period of time from time to time, and the matter was over.

Zaitao also took advantage of the situation to complete the task, putting Emma and his wife on a ship bound for neutral countries, and using their port to embark on the road to China.

On the side of the plan, only the last task of purchasing arms and equipment has not been completed. (End of chapter)
