Chapter 1102

Second Lieutenant Duke really came to see Professor Hessling. As a person who can make Abu miss him, Professor Hessling is definitely a leader in the field of physics. Such a person is what Southern Africa wants to strive for. Second Lieutenant Duke came to Munich I have obtained the information of Professor Heslin from relevant departments before.

During the World War, Rock was very envious of Germany's scientific research strength. Not just any country can survive for four years with its coastline blocked. Think about the Transvaal Republic and the Austrian Republic during the Second Boer War. The Lange Free State, the addition of the two countries only persisted for a year and a half, and that was with the support of the whole world.

During the Second Boer War, even France was secretly supporting the Republic of Transvaal and the Orange Free State. It can be said that the British Empire at that time was fighting against the whole world. How powerful is the British Empire.

Now the British Empire is still powerful, but Second Lieutenant Duke is from southern Africa, so Second Lieutenant Duke behaved very humble in front of Professor Hesling.

"I am a student of Professor Kossel. I studied with Professor Kossel at Nyasaland University. After knowing that I am coming to Munich, Professor Kossel told me to convey his greetings to you in person—now Kossel Professor Purcell's health is very bad, he regrets that he can't come back to visit you in person—" Second Lieutenant Duke's expression happened to be all over the place, full of respect and a touch of sadness, Professor Heslin's heart immediately tugged.

"What's wrong with Kessel?" Professor Heslin has a good relationship with Abu, otherwise Abu would not have invited Professor Heslin to Nyasaland University over and over again.

"The professor fell ill last winter and stayed in the largest hospital in Nyasaland for three months. His condition abated slightly, and the professor was about to be discharged from the hospital and returned to the laboratory to continue working. As a result, he was hospitalized again at the beginning of this year. The situation was at its most dangerous. Well, the hospital issued critical illness notices four times in one day—" Second Lieutenant Duke's face was full of sadness, and his voice was trembling.

"What's wrong with Kessel? Why is it like this? His health has always been good. He is just too obsessed with work and always forgets to eat and sleep-God, please bless Cossel, he is a good man, he shouldn't With such a result—" Professor Hesling's voice was choking, and Mrs. Hesling immediately came to Professor Hesling's side, hugging Professor Hesling's head with one hand, and gently patted Professor Hesling's shoulder with the other.

"It's heart disease. The professor's heart has a very serious problem. The professor has actually been unable to keep working since the year before last, but the professor is worried about his students, the laboratory, and Nyasaland University—" Duke Tears fell from the corners of the second lieutenant's eyes, and it could be seen that his relationship with Abu was really good.

"Hugo, go and help me buy the earliest ferry ticket. I'm going to Nyasaland University to see my old friend for the last time." Professor Heslin was emotional, and the relationship between him and Professor Abu for more than 40 years almost runs through For most of Professor Heslin's life, no one can stop Professor Heslin from going to Nyasaland now.

"Okay, I'll go buy it right away—" Hu Ge didn't hesitate, but there was deep worry in his eyes.

When sending Second Lieutenant Duke out, Hu Ge hesitated to speak.

"Hugo, you are my first friend in Munich. If there is anything I can do for you, I hope you are welcome." Second Lieutenant Duke was careful and found out that Hugo was abnormal.

"That's right, Second Lieutenant Duke, you heard it just now, I'm going to buy a ferry ticket from Munich to southern Africa, but—" Hu Ge stammered.

"I understand, Hu Ge, if you can trust me, leave this matter to me, and I will help Professor Heslin handle it—but Professor Heslin is old, and it may not be suitable for him to go to southern Africa alone, after all, the ship is on the way It will take half a month to go—" Second Lieutenant Duke was very thoughtful, it is very dangerous for people to travel these days, and too many accidents may happen at any time.

"Of course we won't let the teacher go by himself, but—" Hu Ge was even more embarrassed, and the more favor he owed.

"It doesn't matter, leave them all to me, two—two are probably not enough, Mrs. Heslin also needs someone to take care of her, so you and Miss Emma can go together, and by the way, you can check Miss Emma in St. Locke's Hospital Take a look, St. Roch's Hospital is the best hospital in southern Africa. Although the history of St. Roch's Hospital is not as long as that of Bigwig Hospital, St. Roch's Hospital has the best gynecology and pediatrics in southern Africa. Believe me, Miss Emma will definitely Receive the best care." Second Lieutenant Duke took care of everything, boat ticket? It was difficult for Hu Ge, but it was easy for Second Lieutenant Duke.

Since the end of the World War, passenger ships between Germany and southern Africa have been frequent, but in most cases, the passenger ships from Germany to southern Africa are full of passengers, while the passenger ships from southern Africa to Germany are empty.

Second Lieutenant Duke was indeed very efficient in his work. The next day, Second Lieutenant Duke sent ten tickets to Professor Heslin, all of which were first class.

At this time, Hugo no longer went to work in the warehouse. Since he decided to go to southern Africa, Hugo stopped working. Second Lieutenant Duke sent enough canned food and bacon to Professor Heslin, claiming that it would be okay if there were not enough It flattered Professor Hesling's family to go to the warehouse to move casually. These days, Professor Hesling's house is very lively. Every day, Professor Hesling holds tea parties or concerts at home.

Since the outbreak of the World War, Professor Hesling's house has never been so lively.

On November 11, Professor Hessling's family and Otto boarded the passenger ship "Belfast" from Germany to Portsmouth, England, and then changed to "Cape Town" in Portsmouth to southern Africa. "The luxury liner.

The passenger ship "Cape Town" has a displacement of 53000 tons, a length of 290 meters, a width of 27.5 meters, a draft of 11.3 meters, and a power of 65000 horsepower. Comfortable ocean liner.

Professor Hessling only found out after changing to the "Cape Town" that Second Lieutenant Duke bought first-class tickets for Professor Hessling's family. When boarding the ship, the captain and first mate warmly welcomed Professor Hessling's family on the gangway. The boatswain personally carried the luggage for Professor Hesling’s family, and the purser personally sent Professor Hesling’s family to the first-class cabin. The first-class cabin is located on the top floor of the "Cape Town". There are seven rooms in total, and each room has its own bathroom. , There is even a kitchen in the first-class cabin, of course, if you don’t want to do it, you can ask the waiter to send it directly to the room.

There are two waiters dedicated to serving Professor Hesling's family.

At this time, Professor Hesling realized that things were unusual no matter how dull he was.

Professor Abu is indeed very powerful in southern Africa, but his influence has always been limited. For ocean shipping companies like the "Cape Town", Professor Abu's influence is not so great.

Unlike Professor Hesling, Emma and Little Gretel are very curious about the facilities in the first-class cabin. A phonograph can make Emma and Little Gretel very happy. In fact, when they were in Munich, Professor Hesling also had electric lights at home, but since After the outbreak of World War II, the power supply in Munich was not stable. Two years after the World War, the power supply of ordinary households was completely interrupted, and only the power supply for factories related to the war could be guaranteed.

Compared with Emma and Little Gretel, Hugo's performance was fairly steady, while Erwin and Otto were particularly excited.

The "Cape Town" is indeed luxurious. In the first-class cabins, as long as gold leaf can be used, it will be wrapped with gold leaf. All the windows are made of multicolored glass. The chandelier in the living room is made of crystal. The cabinet is full of various famous wines, which are presented by the "Cape Town" passenger ship, and the price is included in the ticket.

"Hu Ge, how much does such a boat ticket cost?" Professor Heslin's face was ugly.

"Sorry teacher, I went to Second Lieutenant Duke to borrow money to buy a boat ticket. These were all arranged by Second Lieutenant Duke—" Hu Ge told the truth, he is now so far behind that Second Lieutenant Duke has ulterior motives, but Hu Ge doesn't hate it.

To put it bluntly, no one should hate such ulterior motives. Although it doesn't feel good to be designed by others, since boarding the "Cape Town", Professor Hesling's family can feel the "Cape Town" everywhere. "The respect for them from top to bottom is from the heart and there is no malice.

The current Professor Hesling's family, what is there to be calculated by Second Lieutenant Duke?

"A small second lieutenant, his annual salary is not enough for this ticket." Although Professor Heslin didn't know the price of the first-class cabin, it was obvious that one or two hundred pounds should not be enough.

"Maybe it was arranged by Professor Abu—" Hu Ge said nicely, but he couldn't stand up to scrutiny. Professor Abu's financial strength is fine, but economic strength alone is not enough to buy a first-class ticket.

"Old man, don't think too much about it. Just take it as a trip. You haven't taken me on a trip since we got married." Mrs. Hesling took a different approach. This is indeed a good reason, and Professor Hesling felt very helpless immediately.

"I'm too busy with work—" Professor Hesling argued that he was indeed busy with work, and he devoted himself to his work, not to mention traveling to remote southern Africa. Professor Hesling and Mrs. Hesling didn't even have Germany been out.

"No matter how busy you are at work, you can't ignore your family. This is not an excuse for you to quibble!" Mrs. Heslin put on a posture that the grape trellis was about to fall.

"I'm not making excuses—" Professor Hesling looked helpless. If Professor Hesling still has people to fear in this world, then Mrs. Hesling must be ranked among the top three.

The number one was of course Little Gretel. In this world, only Little Gretel dared to unscrupulously pull Professor Heslin's beard.
