The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 432 Don't be afraid if the sky falls

Gao Jiu saw that the German youth in front of him was 22 years old, with short silver-gray hair, a slightly thin face, blue eyes, deep-set eye sockets, handsome appearance, and a noble temperament naturally exuded from his body.

His name is William, and he is the grandson of Gustav, the head of the Krupp company. His mother is Gustav's eldest daughter, and his father was born in a German noble family.He himself is also very good. He graduated from the Imperial University of Berlin with a double bachelor's degree in mechanical manufacturing and law. He is currently studying at the University of Berlin and is now a graduate student majoring in mechanical manufacturing.Gustav loved this grandson very much.

The Germans have always been known for their honesty, trustworthiness, and punctuality. The Krupp family has always been one of the industrial pillars of the German Empire, and the Krupp cannon has been favored by the country's highest authorities.It is the tradition of this family to keep time, follow discipline and follow orders.

Taking meal time as an example, breakfast is at 7:15, and those who arrive at 7:16 will find that the restaurant is closed and others have already started eating.In addition, even in the winter, Gustav Krupp refused to turn on the fireplace, and deliberately made the office cold so as not to become listless.Although this kind of approach will give people a somewhat rigid feeling, it fully reflects the strict self-discipline and vigorous enterprising spirit of the Kruber family.

William is obviously also a person cultivated in this environment, and has developed an honest and trustworthy character.

When seeing Bazel and the young man beside him, Gao Jiu took a special look at the clock hanging on the wall of the hotel, and it was exactly the same time as they agreed to meet.

William saw Gao Jiu with curiosity in his eyes.

The reason why William was able to come to meet Gao Jiu, Bazel took a lot of effort.

Bazel was not familiar with William. He also graduated from the Imperial University of Berlin, Germany, two years higher than William. He met William through their joint mathematics professor.

Bazel's identity is a reporter, and William didn't want to deal with reporters at first, just because Bazel had been working in faraway China for a long time, and the Krupp family once had arms deals with the Nationalist Government, he was a little curious about China, That's when I met Bazel.

Bazel once studied in the United States. His personality is different from that of the average German. His personality is passionate and unrestrained, which is very different from the silence and reservedness of the average German. This made William patiently listen to his talk about China. knowledge.

The protagonist of Bazel's story is of course Gao Jiu. Bazel is also a reporter who is good at communicating with people.

Of course, Gao Jiu Niucha's deeds are indeed beyond human ability, so William has the desire to meet Gao Jiu.Even so, William still didn't immediately agree to Bazel's request to meet Gao Jiu, because he was a student after all and didn't want to be in the public eye.

Bazel assured that the meeting between him and Gao Jiu was not public, and he also used the aggressive method, saying that although William is excellent, Gao Jiu is a super awesome existence.He dared to bet with William that Gao Jiu would know everything William knew, and if William didn't know it, Gao Jiu would still be proficient.

William inherited the intelligence of his grandfather Gustav, and his intelligence is far beyond ordinary people.

He was a student with good conduct and a recognized talent in college, so pride in his bones was inevitable.

William was a little unconvinced when he heard what Bazel said, so he agreed to meet Gao Jiu.

At this moment, William looked at Gao Jiu and saw that he was tall and tall. Although his height was still a little bit lower than his own, the heroic demeanor exuded by Gao Jiu left a deep impression on him .

Although Ouyang Xue is an oriental beauty, even Westerners like William recognize her beauty.William admired the noble temperament exuded from Ouyang Xue's body.The two were a perfect match, and the image of a golden boy and a jade girl left a good first impression on William.

After Bazel's introduction, William, Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue greeted each other.

Gao Jiu's German is very fluent. Although Ouyang Xue's German is very average, she can still speak common polite words very fluently. If you don't have an in-depth conversation, you can't figure out how good her German is. William's affection for the two has increased. A few points.

The eating habits of the Germans are quite different from those of the Chinese. The Germans are most particular about breakfast, not lunch or dinner.German family dinner is usually a cold meal, the content is very rich: a platter of meat; fresh and delicious vegetables, such as radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers; fresh fruits, such as grapes, cherries.Some housewives also put out various flavors of cheese, and the staple food is bread.Dinner time is more generous, the family sits around the table, chatting while eating.

There are many similarities between Germany and China, and the dinner conversation is even more similar.Germans are very particular about eating, and the time for dinner is mainly used for communication.

Although William was born in a wealthy family, he is still a student after all, and he knows relatively little about social affairs, especially the far east, which still has a certain sense of mystery to him.He was very curious about Gao Jiu and asked, "Mr. Gao, you speak German very well. Have you lived in Germany before? Where did you learn German?"

Gao Jiu said: "When I was studying in the United States, you Germans were among my classmates. I learned German from him."

There is still a big difference between English and German, and it is not easy to learn German well.Gao Jiu's German level is very high, which William admires very much.He said: "I heard that you can speak Japanese in addition to German and English. How many languages ​​do you speak?"

Gao Jiu said: "Maybe I have a little talent in languages, and I can also speak the languages ​​of some other countries."

William himself is very gifted in languages, he can speak English, Spanish, Italian and French.In order to verify the authenticity of what Gao Jiu said, he first asked in French: "Mr. Gao, are you familiar with French?"

Gao Jiu said in French: "Paris, France is very fashionable. I prefer the romantic atmosphere there. I have lived in Paris for a while, so I am quite familiar with French."

Gao Jiu's French is very fluent, obviously surpassing William's.

Still unconvinced, William switched to Italian and Spanish.Gao Jiu's familiarity far surpassed him.

Next, the content of Gao Jiu's conversation was the content that William was most familiar with, and they began to discuss William's favorite major in mechanical manufacturing.Gao Jiu's professional level is obviously much higher than that of William's mentor.

William is a good young man with a broad mind. He is not embarrassed by Gao Jiu's extraordinary intelligence, but has deep admiration for him.

In the following conversation, William came to discuss some issues with Gao Jiu more in an attitude of asking for advice.No matter what kind of question he asked, or in any aspect, Gao Jiu's answer could give him a refreshing feeling.

As the conversation deepened, Gao Jiu seemed to be a treasure house of knowledge, which had a deep attraction for William.At this moment, he could conclude that he had never seen or even heard of such an expert in the world, and he had the idea of ​​worshiping Gao Jiu as his teacher.

William said with admiration: "Mr. Gao, you are the most remarkable wise man I have ever met. I wonder if I have the honor to learn from you?"

Gao Jiu said kindly: "Mr. William, you are also one of the smartest people I have ever met. Since the two of us hit it off right away, we should be able to become very good friends. No matter what questions you have, we can discuss them together .”

William was very happy and continued to chat with Gao Jiu.

After eating a meal for more than two hours, William reluctantly prepared to leave.

William is a smart person, he said: "Mr. Gao, you want to meet me, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just wanting to know me?"

Gao Jiu said frankly: "Mr. William is really smart. I associate with you because I admire your grandfather Mr. Gustav very much. I am very interested in weapon manufacturing. I have some design works that I want to present to you through you. Grandpa, I hope to get his comments."

William's feeling was the same as Nina's in the Soviet Union. When Gao Jiu mentioned the matter of weapon development, they immediately felt very vigilant, worried that Gao Jiu was here to steal German military secrets.

However, Gao Jiu did not ask to know about Germany's military industry, but to hand over his work to Gustav for comment. There is no problem of leaking secrets at all, but to provide scientific and technological information to Germany, which is not at all It needs to be on guard, but it should be actively fought for.

William was very happy and said enthusiastically: "If this is the case, please give me your work, and I will give it to my grandfather soon."

Gao Jiu still took out a blueprint wrapped tightly in cloth from the bag, and handed it to William.

William took the blueprint, said goodbye and left.

After William left, Bazel followed Gao Jiu to the embassy. On the way, Bazel kept crying.Ouyang Xue asked: "Mr. Bazel, what problem have you encountered? Tell Brother Nine, Brother Nine will definitely find a way to help you solve it."

Gao Jiu said: "Let's go back first, and then you talk slowly."

After returning to the residence, Ouyang Xue made tea for everyone, and the three of them sat together and talked.Gao Jiu said kindly: "Bazel, what problem did you encounter? No matter what the difficulty is, just ask, we are brothers, and I will definitely try to help you solve it."

Bazel was crying, and tears were about to fall. He said: "After I got home, I called my fiancée Lena as soon as I got home, and wanted to tell her the good news of my return. But her family said that she Not in Berlin. I asked Lena how to get in touch, and her family didn't tell me, so I felt something was wrong.

I went to Lina's house that day, and her parents didn't tell me where Lina was going. After I tried hard, they gave me Lina's contact number.

I felt something was wrong. When I called, I didn't dare to say who I was, but made up the name of a friend we knew each other. Later, Lena finally answered the phone. When she recognized my voice , the attitude was very cold, and after a few words, she said that she wanted to break up with me, and that she already had a new boyfriend.

Of course I don't believe it anymore, because we have known each other for more than three years, and our relationship with each other has always been very good. Lena once said that I would not marry.I don't understand, how could she have changed so much in the time I've been abroad for more than a year?I'm going to find Lena, but she won't see me or tell me where she is.After she finished speaking, she put down the phone.

I was very anxious and called her many times, but she refused to answer the phone.Later, probably because the person with her was annoying, Lina answered the phone.She said she would come back to Berlin in a few days and explain everything to me face to face.

I really don't know, what is going on here? "

Speaking of this, Bazel's tears finally couldn't help falling down.It's no wonder that Bazel loves Lina deeply, and the sudden change is really unbearable for him.

Ouyang Xue comforted him and said: "Your relationship has always been very good, and this situation suddenly appeared. I guess, Lina must have something to hide. Didn't she promise to come back and explain it to you? This means that she has not Really reject you, otherwise there is no need for her to meet you again."

Ouyang Xue said these words out of a woman's intuition. She believed that even if Lina changed her mind, she would not be so decisive, and there must be some unspeakable reasons for it.

Ouyang Xue's words gave Bazel a lot of comfort, he nodded and said, "I hope so."

Gao Jiu said: "Since Lina said that she would come back to meet you, don't worry too much, just wait patiently. After Lina comes back, when you talk to her, you must pay attention to your attitude and be careful. Sincerely, don't blame her in any way, you must find out the reason of the matter.

If it is because of unavoidable reasons, not emotional reasons, and if you can save it through hard work, Xiaoxue and I will firmly support you, even if the sky falls, you don't have to worry. "

Gao Jiu's words gave Bazel a lot of confidence, and his mood improved a lot. He said, "Mr. Gao, then I will go to work on the other things you told me these days first."

Gao Jiu said: "This is the best way. If you can get busy, you can avoid random thoughts and relieve your worries."

Next, Gao Jiu waited patiently for news from William.

Things were similar to Gao Jiu's expectation, even faster than he expected.William called that night, saying that his grandfather Gustav invited Gao Jiu to meet him at his family's manor the next afternoon.

In the afternoon of the second day, Gao Jiu, accompanied by William, came to a manor located on the picturesque Spree River, which was Gustav's private villa.

Not long after, Gao Jiu met Gustav, the head of the famous Krupp company.

Gustav, the king of artillery, is tall and handsome, and he can be seen as handsome when he was young.He was a very kind old man. After William introduced Gao Jiu, he extended his hand with a smile and said, "Welcome, young man from the far east."

Gao Jiu stretched out his hand to hold the old man's hand, and said politely: "Dear Mr. Gustav, it is my honor to meet you." Then he presented the gift he brought.

Gustav saw that it was a hand-carved wooden gift box, and when he opened it, he found a very delicate inside-painted snuff bottle.He couldn't help laughing, and said, "Young man, you are very good at giving gifts. How did you know that I like snuff bottles?" Then, he looked at William, thinking that his grandson should have told Gao Jiu.

William also said curiously: "Mr. Gao, where did you hear that my grandfather has the habit of collecting this?"

Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Gustav, you are not only a great scientist and arms dealer in Germany, but also in the world. There are probably thousands of people who study you. It is normal to know a little about your habits."

This high hat immediately aroused the joy of the old man, and he said with a smile: "Young man, you are very good at talking."

After taking his seat, the old Gustave said: "Mr. Gao, my grandson is an excellent and somewhat proud young man. I have never seen him admire a peer so much. Therefore, I am very curious and want to meet you What is so special about this legendary young man from ancient China?"

From the time we met to now, Gustav gave people a benevolent look, but Gao Jiu didn't think so. He had already noticed the shrewdness in Gustav's eyes.

Gao Jiu was very relaxed on the surface, but secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.
